Re: Unlocking All Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Should Only Take A Couple Of Hours

Adam

I'm happy with it. Most players buy a fighting game to play with friends or on an online ladder. It doesn't make sense to force players through a month-long grind of whatever awful single-player mode they have this time.

If people genuinely like the single-player game, they should not need locked content to want to play it. The game should be fun in and of itself.

(Usually Smash has alternate unlocks, such as play X number of games, to avoid having to play garbage like Subspace Emissary. But it's still a bizarre concept. No one makes an album where you have to listen to track one X number of times before listening to track two.)

Re: Fantasy Strategy Game Armello Arrives On Switch At The End Of The Month

Adam

Really fun game. Somewhat similar to the board game Talisman, but better.

Could be much better with an undo button since there are a lot of rules and interactions that I don't feel the tutorial covered well, but eventually it all makes sense.

Probably worth getting again. Wish they did cross-platform play though.

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th July (North America)

I played 20XX briefly on PC and really liked it. It is essentially Mega Man with randomly generated elements, permanent death, and (I didn't get to try this) co-op. Looking forward to this one, though I'm just a little more interested in Dead Cells for my randomly generated needs, once that's out.

Re: Guide: Nintendo E3 2018 Press Conference Schedule, Rumours, Hopes, And Dreams

Adam

Nintendo Land is listed as a possible Wii U port, but I don't see how that's possible since you need both screens for most or all of the mini-games.

That would actually be one of the more exciting announcements for me if they can figure out a way to make it work (since you have to dock the Switch to see it on TV). Mario Maker and Nintendo Land are the only reasons I can't get rid of my Wii U.

Re: Soapbox: Let's Give Nintendo Switch Online A Chance Before We Throw It To The Wolves

I didn't realize there was anything to complain about, but I guess I am not really looking for anything from an online service except the ability to play online. My save files work fine on my system and have for many years on other systems, so not sure what the big deal is with cloud saves. Voice chat would be nice, but even on other systems a lot of people prefer to use Discord or whatever anyway. And the NES games aren't all great, but several are classics that people still go back to decades later. I know I will be playing a lot of Dr. Mario, especially if you can play online.

Re: The Man Behind The Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap Remake Would Love To Tackle Zelda II

Adam

All Zelda 2 needs is a better translation with better hints. If a remake were to happen, I would hope they'd leave the difficulty as-is, or at least have optional difficulty levels.

But if this guy really wants to make more games like this, I'd be more interested in seeing a brand new game, personally. Zelda 2 is already available and not as difficult as people make it out to be, if you have just a little patience.

@idrawrobots The Dragon's Trap remake had an option to use the original graphics, for those who hate their eyes. Thankfully Zelda 2 actually looked fine, so it might be worth using the option.

Re: Check Out 20XX, A Roguelike Inspired By Mega Man X That Could Be Coming To Switch

Adam

I've played this. I'd get it again on Switch to be able to try out co-op. It's a fun concept. I never got particularly far in the few attempts I made, but anyone who can handle Mega Man X should be able to beat one or two levels per run. I got it around the same time as Dead Cells, so I ended up playing that a lot more — both being 2D action platformers with RNG levels, I'd pick Dead Cells over this unless you want to play co-op.

Re: Nintendo Direct Mini Is Happening Right Now

Adam

I didn't realize Matt was making a full version of Celeste, and on Switch no less! Very cool. I hope Towerfall is still coming, as well.

Looking forward to Balloon World, too. I don't feel like tracking down all the stars, but I'd come back to the game for this if you can search for friends' balloons.

Re: Reddit Wonders If Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Is Coming To Switch

Adam

The Wii U ports on Switch make sense because it was an unpopular system with some really great games many people missed out on, but most Nintendo fans had a 3DS at some point and don't need to buy it again unless they're making significant changes to the game (in which case they wouldn't be asking to quote old reviews).

Re: Smash-Style Brawler Rivals of Aether Is Headed To Switch

Adam

If the original was always the best and nothing could add anything, we'd all still be playing Atari. I'd love to see platform fighters develop into a bigger genre, but for some reason Smash fans tend to be close-minded. This is a super fun game on Steam, and one I will definitely buy again to have on my Switch. I hope it is received as well as it deserves. The Switch needs more whaledogs.

Re: Review: Kid Tripp (Switch eShop)

Adam

Very cool to have a Nintendolifian's work on a Nintendo console. It'd be even cooler if I could make it out the first level. My skills have deteriorated greatly since the iPad version.

Re: Review: Kid Tripp (3DS eShop)

Adam

"Our only complaint is perhaps the amount of content on offer. Our first run took approximately 45 minutes to complete all four worlds and see the credits screen. "

I knew I sucked but didn't realize how much until now.

Re: Nintendo Download: 27th July (North America)

Adam

The free Pac-Man Vs. works even if no one owns it, or does one system need to own the Namco collection?

I thought Kid Tripp was coming to Switch. Is it going to be on both platforms? I was looking forward to trying to finish it since I don't have my iPad anymore.

Pretty excited about Overcooked. That looks like a hoot and a holler.

Re: Four Horses Is Bringing Kid Tripp To The Nintendo Switch eShop

Adam

Great game by a great guy, one of our own, in fact. Not sure if this is your first time getting on a Nintendo platform, but it must be exciting nonetheless, so congrats, Pixelman. I don't have an iDevice anymore, so I'll be buying this again. Looking forward to that Zelda 2-based game we talked about a lifetime ago.

Re: Rumour: Artwork for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Posted Online

Adam

Someone mentioned the misspellings are because this is not an English-speaking company and this is an internal document not meant for outside viewing. The same explanation can be given for the use of the word "ass." Presumably they sent this to Nintendo for review, and someone on one side or the other leaked it.

Re: Meet The Mario Maker Player Nintendo Wants To Ban For Keeping The Game Alive

Adam

Glitches can brick your system if opened in the editor. That is the primary reason this stuff is banned. I love to watch Psycrow's levels, but there are legitimate reasons for Nintendo to ban glitch levels.

And claiming Mario Maker is "dead" is utterly ridiculous if you actually still play it. There are so many fantastic level creators who still to this day are figuring out new tricks to use that don't need game breaking glitches — they are keeping the game "alive".

I wouldn't say no to another update from Nintendo, but it isn't needed, and MM2 on Switch is a given anyway.
