@Sunsy
Well, at least you might like Fantasy Life i for Nintendo Switch from Level-5 if you like some cute looking RPG game with ACNH terraforming feature.
You can like Sonic, MLP and Troll franchises so I think you can like Fantasy Life franchise too.
From Nintendo Direct last time with some Level-5 games announcement, Deca Police was another game by them that made me intrigued and also worried at the same time.
Intrigued as I like the police department theme like NYPD or CSI but worried at the same time to think what age rating will be. From the second trailer I watched, there was a murder case but no blood around the dead body and I hope there will be no blood at all. The other element I worried about was language (probably some moderate coarse language like cursing) since dealing with criminals it might have some bad words. I don't want to ban games I already have some interest to know just because it said one coarse word that I cannot tolerate at all.
So with those elements from police department theme, I really hope Deca Police will get age rating ESRB Teen / CERO B / PEGI 12 because I don't want to play games with higher age rating and it will break my heart to see the games I already get intrigued I have to forget them due to more mature stuffs founded.
Btw, if you checked my post on previous page 3895, you will see some big surprise there.
I got Zelda Wind Waker HD Wii U this evening. 😁
Never ever in my life I suddenly want to play that Zelda game due to one big chance from my local online shopping website.
There was a seller who displayed Zelda Wind Waker Wii U for sale.
Actually I have no intention to buy that game as I have zero interest with Zelda games but strangely it grew a little interest when I found that game was only one left and to realize every Zelda games on Ebay got inflated prices by scalpers, here in my country I could found one game with not so expensive price (it was still expensive for an used game, I bought the game with price 1,050,000 IDR or around $ 67.73).
So, ultimately I gave a second chance for Wind Waker Wii U as from graphic aspect, the Chibi cartoonish design somehow started to grow my interest a little bit. Still not a fan of green tunic outfits for Toon Link as I prefer the hat removed. Not gonna lie, Link with default blue tunic outfits, no tunic hat and longer hair from botw was my ideal looking but alas I don't clicked with botw.
It was very very unusual for me to realize I could getting along with Zelda Wind Waker after I keep my statement to never like any Zelda games. Peoples might change their mind anytime and I gave second chance for certain Zelda games with at least Toon Link on it so I will probably pick Triforce on 3DS and Link's Awakening on Switch as I prefer cute looking characters than normal size Link.
I still have zero interest with other Zelda games which featuring realistic size characters.
If I can change my mind to like other franchise that I never have interest before, so I think you can like some upcoming games by Level-5, even they are not Yokai Watch games.
You can expand your interest with new franchises so you will not stuck by Sonic, MLP, Trolls, Mario franchises only.
Cool, I'm not big on life simulation games, but I do like RPGs. Don't know if I get it yet, I have to be selective due to budget reasons. Sometimes I just can't buy all the games I want to play, and go with something that may interest me more.
I don't have a problem expanding series and stuff I like, recently I fell in love with a cartoon called Jelly Jamm, it was cute and I liked it. If something doesn't interest me, good chance really won't bother with it or force myself to like it. Though, I feel like one of the few who can not be into something without insulting it. I see so many not like something mock it just because it's the "cool" thing to do. :
Hope everything works out for Deca Police, I actually forgot about it despite watching the recent Direct. Nintendo really needs to stop showing these during my dinner time, so I can pay attention to it instead of having it on while cooking.
That's awesome with Wind Waker. I don't know if anyone can change my mind, again if something doesn't interest me or someone, then it doesn't. Remember a lot of the cartoon tie-in games I've played is usually because I like said series. If I wasn't into MLP, I don't think I'd play an MLP game for example. Thankfully I am so I played the MLP game. I do wish they would localize the Switch Yo-Kai games, it's so sad when something lesser known isn't popular, since it's pretty much a good series. That's why I call some things underrated. Usually something good that goes ignored by the masses. Like Jelly Jamm, man that cartoon is really overlooked.
@Sunsy Glad you had a great Mario Day. I mostly played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that day, but I played through Super Mario World as well. I got to play MK8D online with a couple of buds, including a friend who I've known in real life. It's been a fun time, and I finally got to race on Yoshi's Island and Singapore Speedway, too!
Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless, much appreciated. It does sound like a good game for sure. In terms of Star Wars games, I heard Knights of the Old Republic is really good, as well. I've seen quite a few people talk about it. I think it's more of an RPG, IIRC... and I have a hard time focusing on RPGs most of the time. lol
Oh jeez, that third boss in DK64 drove me mad as a kid. Took me forever to beat that crazy-looking jack-in-the-box back then! I did eventually beat it, and made it to the last level. I didn't get to the final boss since it required the Nintendo and Rare coins. I got the Rare one, but not the Nintendo one. That Donkey Kong arcade game was insanely hard for me back then, because you're only given one life! I was thinking I'd have it in the bag since I played Donkey Kong on the Game Boy, but apparently not. I wouldn't beat DK64 until way after my childhood.
That's cool, I went to visit my mall's Hallmark store as well, and they had 50% off of Christmas decorations since it was after the holiday. We actually got one that's Santa's workshop, and it's with our packed Christmas decorations for when the holidays eventually come. Yeah... my Sears is gone too. It had a good run, it lasted for many years and it was around when I was a kid, too.
Oh that's good, so you've got some spare copies of games. That reminds me... many years back, our first copy of Mario Party 7 for the GameCube stopped working, and I wanted to try to get it fixed at my local retro game store. They were able to fix my copy of Super Mario Sunshine since it was kind of busted, so I had them try to fix MP7 for me. It still didn't work, so I had to get another copy. This was way before GameCube game prices skyrocketed, by the way... thank goodness I didn't have to pay a pretty penny that time!
That's awesome. The latest Disney stuff I got was from Christmas. I got a Mickey Mouse t-shirt that has his classic character design, and PJs that have Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto. I'm wearing the PJs as I write this very post!
Sounds like a Mario day well spent to me.
You're welcome. Yeah, I think KOTOR is an RPG, I think a BioWare one IIRC. I never played it, but I remember it was talked about frequently at an old gaming forum I once went to.
Yeah, DK64 was also a pretty big game at the time. I remember the classic games it had, I think it had another Rare game in it, Jetpack I think it was called. It was like a vintage Rare game from when they weren't a Nintendo studio. My memory feels fuzzy, but I remember something called Jetpack in it.
Sounds nice, I think mom and I ordered some ornaments when they were in clearance. I got a Sega Genesis ornament with Sonic 1 sounds this way. I love that ornament, mostly because I often play Sonic 1 around Christmas time thanks to Sega Smash Pack on Dreamcast and Sonic Mega Collection.
Yeah, usually the ones I play a lot. For Wii U, I have spare copies of all three Sonic games. I do find it funny as I have two Sonic Boom boxes, and they both have some differences like having English/French on one and an updated Sega address on it, while the original has just English and Sega's old address. I've done this with some Wii and GC games too, mostly in event disc scratches from use over the years, usually I get a spare on discount. Yikes, I'm glad you got an extra copy before prices went up. GameCube prices are just too high.
@Sunsy I did actually end up playing GOTG yeasterday combined with Bad batch and the new south park episode. But since finishing xenoblade 3 I have been watching more than I have been playing
I haven’t even gotten to the human rights abuses. You know bored ape the ugly looking monkeys? They were made minimum wage workers who don’t receive royalties or anything like that for their work making millions of dollars NFTs are disgusting unethical scams don’t even consider supporting them
Well at least you got something with the 2 dimensional trolls look. I love how many franchises got supported by lego dimensions. The awesomeness of the figures as purely figurines is awesome. I mean I have doc brown and marty mccfly it’s cool.
I an definitely getting it Nier is one of my favorite JRPG franchises not to mention they changed the English books cover to something I can actually display without it being weird
I am scared of Pc’s too many buttons
Nice!
Yeah, that sounds like a big mess. D:
Indeed, DreamWorks nailed it bringing Trolls from 3D to 2D. Lego Dimesnions was just awesome, it's sad it got cancelled early on. At least the game can still be played. The Sonic one genuinely made me want a standalone Lego Sonic game. It was such a well made set.
Enjoy it when it comes.
It's not too bad, most of the time your fingers rest on WSAD to move, and the other hand on mouse. Plenty of games use this setup and controls can be customized most of the time.
@Colonel_Mustache Well if that Everything Everywhere movie showed us anything, small can be good... Though I don't personally like it from what I've heard of it. I only like Spider-Verse for those stories lol.
I'm talking, of course, about "Glove & Boots", a YouTube channel that uses puppets, and the subjects they talk about aren't exactly kid-friendly, but they were REALLY funny. It was thanks to them that I learned how grammar works (and at one point the cousin of one of the main characters comes in dressed up like one of the Indiana Jones bad guys, a grammar... you know)
I also learned about "The Hero's Journey", where the aforementioned cousin acts out each archetype.
If there's a multiverse, please send me to a universe where "Ratchet & Clank" didn't get critically panned and bombed at the box office, and instead made close to a billion dollars AND won "best animated film".
@Colonel_Mustache Wait, you saw it too? All I know is that people didn't know it existed (apparently a trailer for it was attached with "Goosebumps", which I never saw so I didn't get to see the trailer until YouTube), and the PS4 game (which essentially is a remake of the first game as well) came out before the movie did, so everyone already played it and learned most of the story. I mean I have it on Blu-Ray, so that counts.
I actually saw the movie twice, once in 3D with my mom and again in 2D by myself. She only came along because she liked the naughty subtitles (like "Up Your Arsenal" and "Size Matters"), she otherwise knows absolutely squat about the characters and weapons.
I gotta wonder how the winner of the "My Blaster Runs Hot" contest, which added the "Spiral of Death" to "Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time" must feel about their winning weapon being shown in the movie (even for a few seconds).
@Colonel_Mustache Sadly, the movie's failure also canceled the "Sly Cooper" movie. I gotta wonder how they're making video game-based movies better now with the recent "Angry Birds Movie 2" and both "Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2". I assume "Mario" might just get mixed reviews, but be praised for being an improvement over the 1993 live-action movie.
@Colonel_Mustache Judging by everyone's reactions, I still think the critical reception will be "mixed". Remember peoples' complaints about Chris Pratt voicing Mario? They forget Charles Martinet can't voice him forever, and he's got some cameos (which I suspect one of them is the Toad that sells the NES cartridge and says you have to "blow into it", which is technically a bad thing to do with cartridges because the moisture from our breaths can make the pins inside degrade worse)
@ComfyAko It's actually one of my favorite movies I would say...it really does get you thinking, what would happen if something or someone you knew suddenly vanished but you still remember them?
I will say, as a Star Wars fan, I wasn't too bothered by the New Hope comparisons, and honestly the Sequel movies aren't as bad in my opinion as people make them out to be, but there are definitely still original ideas out there, and I think it really comes down to IP recognition and money...
I forgot to answer to this one
That's a very interesting question. The movie also got me thinking about other things - What if we had something else like the Beatles and the world would just forget it, like it stopped from existing entirely, how would we even know what we're missing? And more realistically, how many great artists and great people overall get forgotten without getting any recognition simply because they weren't lucky enough to make it to the big leagues? It's really a matter of luck as much as of skill, as I've seen more "hidden gems" of games, artworks and songs than successful one.
The sequels aren't that horrible, imo. The prequels steered the WS in a wrong direction (with midichlorians, strenght-swinging lightsaber battles and making Darth Vader into a creepy teenager), and the new SW is a sign of its time, but I've been to the movie theater (something that I do only for SW) for Rouge One, The Last Jedi and Solo and I enjoyed it.
@ComfyAko Okay I just watched that video, never watched it before but oh man that is a museum of early YouTube! Amazing! I love it, and I love the song so THANK YOU!!!
I'm so glad you liked it! I'm really happy I got you guys a bit of happiness today
Bring me the sesame, miso, citrus and pepper flavored fish cakes
