the Devolver Direct had a joke about how hype and trailers and hype are the real focus of gaming while the actual games are just a side effect. And the Nintendo Direct drought of 2020 has slowly made me feel that's exactly how they're treated. I like Nintendo Directs too, but some people don't actually get that they mostly just exist to...market the game to you. The games will still be made regardless, so it doesn't especially matter if there's been a lack of Directs.

Chills.
Don't talk to me like i was the villain to you.
Again, about kickboxing.
Think from different view.
Even some kids have been taught by kickboxing technique at same places.
Their parents don't even worried about their kids being taught by a sport who is well known with violence. Do you think kickboxing has to be about violence all the time ? The answer is No.
Maybe the kids has been taught with kickboxing technique for Cardio workout or for being professional kickboxer. You can see from Youtube there are some kids who have refined their kickboxing skill at younger age.
And if you see the way i portray boxing / kickboxing from my drawing are not about being extreme violence, but instead i portray them as a cute sport with aesthetic purpose instead of violence purpose.
Do they still fight ? Yes, but in tolerable violence level for kids so it will looks like the violence level on some superhero cartoons.
Think about other games that have Boxing inside. Let's say Wii Sports, Sports Champions 2 PS3, Animal Boxing NDS, Tokyo 2020, Mario & Sonic games, Ape Escape, Animal Crossing, etc. They way the games portrayed about Boxing was not about being very bloody violence, right?
It has Boxing on it as well known as violence sport but do they have to show some blood and cruel fighting? Nope.
And that's why i accept Boxing and Kickboxing by the way like that, make it family friendly and it will be fine.
And to explain why did i accept the violence level from Street Fighter and Kickboxing but still cannot accept the violence level on Splatoon, that was because whenever i saw Splatoon gameplay it always throw me to flashback of gritty rated 18+ shooter games. I have been traumatized with those gritty scenes when i was young. Only the games like Splatoon and Fortnite that i will never accept for being killed or kill, the gameplay style that i still couldn't accept.
But why did i accept Ratchet & Clank and Metroid Prime Federation Force instead ?
It might sounds crazy but they tasted like very surprising chili that have interesting taste yet still spicy. Their violence level was felt different with Splatoon or Fortnite. I dare myself to engage with those games despite i was still not really comfort with them at the first time since it was like i quit from my comfort zone. Though luck if i can approved those games since i will not approved any other shooter games unless it has something charming and unusual vibes from them and surprisingly matched with my taste.
And please do not ask me to find psychologist.
I'm positive happy with my current condition.
My current condition was actually my guardian angel that protecting me to not touching any gritty rated 18 games.
Let my traumatic experiences become a strong filter to choose the best games for me.
I will not try to be like you that accept any kind of games regardless of age rating.
You will be you and i will be me.
That's make peoples like a rainbow.
I have enjoyed Nintendo's mobile and tablet games. I think Mario Run is worth every penny of the $10 asking price. I hope they come out with a game or two every year.
I can't justify spending a dime on a single player mobile game I can't play offline. Literally the only time I play mobile games is in settings where I don't have data available. Otherwise I have better things to do.

Yeah, I really don’t get the online requirement. And I can see how this game is not for everyone. I just think it’s fun and a good little time killer when I don’t have my Switch. That’s how I feel about the other games too. I only wish Nintendo gave a full purchase option on the other games too. But I have enjoyed what they have done.
@RainbowGazelle
LOL
Saying Switch was suck than Wii U was a clear trolling statement.
Enjoy your very limited games library on Wii U while i keep digging Animal Crossing New Horizons on Switch for more than 170 hours.
Oh, btw. You can turn off the items on Mario Kart so saying it was suck = you cannot play the games at all.
I don't get Luigi's Mansion. Any of them. I've played all 3 to completion, but I'm not even sure what kind of game they are. It feels like I'm always dragging Luigi from point A to point B, with little to no challenge. The set dressing is wonderful, but the playing the games always leaves me with this sensation of "why bother?".

Give me a heads-up if you're going to send a request please.
@RainbowGazelle I could see liking the Wii U more. I mean, I very much don't, but it's a much better legacy Nintendo system, for one thing. And a lot of the Switch's appeal is reduced if you're not impressed with the hybrid functionality of the system.

Skyward Sword is my favourite Zelda in terms of dungeons and characters. I don't think the artstyle for the world is as good as it could have been.
Mario Kart is great fun
The Wii U is an amazing legacy console,so far I've enjoyed the first party games on Wii U more than the new Switch 1st party offerings.
@Anti-Matter How about try to remember this is an opinions thread. These are my opinions. Stop being nasty.
Plus, I said the Wii U is better than Switch, not that the Switch is bad. I still enjoy the Switch, just not as much. It will help to read comments next time.
@Ralizah@Wargoose Yeah, the Wii U is a good legacy console. I also loved the gamepad use when it was done well in games. The Wii U didn't have as many good games as I would have liked, but it had such great potential.
Skyward Sword has great characters on paper, but IMO, it's really hampered by it's pacing and story, and unfortunately I feel that brings down the characters with it at points. In every other 3D Zelda game, the world feels a bit more alive to me, because the central conflict of the world has affected the side characters, and so the side quests (and story quests) often have something to do with taking a break from your world-saving mission to help people. This makes the world feel a bit more dynamic, IMO, and it helps me care about the characters. Even in BOTW, I appreciated actually reading about character stories in the sidequests.
In Skyward Sword both the side quests and story quests were largely detached from the central conflict, so despite everything there was to do in Skyloft, and how well realized it was, it felt like a separate bubble from my own quest, and even if that was intentional, it led me to not really care.
The Wii U is literally the only Nintendo home console I haven't owned in my life time. A big part of that is simply that I don't care for 2D platformers at all. It's there with first person shooters as one of my least favorite genres. When you strip out the 2D platformers, the already light first party lineup becomes even more scant, so it was quite hard to justify a purchase. Thinking back, I think the games I would have ended up picking up would be limited to Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, The Wonderful 101, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and MAYBE Smash Bros, though I probably would have settled for the 3DS version.

I agree with the pacing, but I felt the sidequests in Skyward Sword were very good and...honestly I don't remember most Zelda sidequests being super relevant to the main conflict too much (barring a couple of obvious examples, like OOT's time skip and Majora's Mask in general). I mean, I guess there is an extra level of separation than usual because of how disconnected Skyloft is to the actual threats in the world.
@iKhan Yeah completely valid points. I think I enjoyed skyward sword so much because of the dungeons and the puzzles. There were a lot of 'oh that's clever' moments when compared to Twilight Princess or Breath of the Wild. I also think it added quite a bit to the overall lore.
Wii U had its faults but I enjoyed Smash Bros, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart, Breath of the Wild, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Maiden of Blackwater, Xenoblade X, Splatoon and Bayonetta 2.
So far the Switch has yet to surpass it in terms of new offerings from Nintendo. Luigis Mansion is amazing and Arms was alright, but I'm still waiting for that big game that really grabs me.
I prefer Spyro 1 over Spyro 2.
I love the simplicity of Spyro 1's gameplay and finding secret areas in almost every level just feels magical.
By contrast, Spyro 2 has unnecessary backtracking and pointless mini games. Every mini game is either easy and pointless, or frustratingly difficult.
