Re: Review: Super Mario World - Phenomenal Platforming Perfection

Al_Godoy

This is my favorite game of all time.

I just hear the music and I remember sitting in front of my TV on a Saturday morning, wearing my pijamas and exploring every nook and cranny for secret exits.

The smell of pancakes and my brother waking up and asking to play Super Soccer instead.

All of that before communism took a big dump on everything I loved about my childhood.

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The September 2019 Nintendo Direct

I liked a lot of the direct. I guess we do live in the age of entitlement. What a library!!!

I'm gonna buy a ton of games, more than I can play for sure. I'm triple dipping with Xenoblade Chronicles, having not only owned but finished both of the previous versions.

I want to give Tokyo Mirage Sessions a go. Never did it on the Wii U. That game always ticked my curiosity.

Luigi's Mansion looks beautiful, Link's Awakening is big for me, the SNES games are a sweet addition.

And finally, my controversial opinion: I cannot, for the life of me, understand why adults play Animal Crossing. I really cannot see the appeal, never have, never will.

Re: The Wii U Just Received Its First Firmware Update For 2019

I still have mine plugged to the tv! Shout out to all true believers out there.

I'm using it to finally finish Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii and then I'm going after Xenoblade Chronicles X. A bit of Rayman Legends, Sonic Lost World (which I know isn't that great, but it is still fun). I also still play Bayonetta 1 and 2, Super Mario 3D World, Virtual Console for DK 64, Mario 64 and Ogre Battle 64.

I'll probably replay both HD remakes of Zelda at some point. What a great console.

I've already gone through the game twice on PS4, but I couldn't recommend it enough. This is easily the best game of this console generation. The story is great, the characters are great, the gameplay is great and the customization is great. Oh and Gwent is a fun card game.

As with many open games, it can be repetitive, but it is still more varied than most. And some of the sidequests are so engaging and fun.

Re: Feature: The Best 3D Platformers On Nintendo Switch

Al_Godoy

I'm not as upset as some other commenters seem to be, but this definitely is a lackluster list.

Not the best genre on the Switch or even in general it would seem. I also tried to love Mario Odyssey more than I ended up loving it in the end. Not a bad game by ANY means, but I don't know, not that special either in my book.

Re: Japanese Poll Discovers That Vast Majority Of Viewers Were Pleased With The Nintendo Direct

It was perfect. Super Mario Maker 2. Looks brilliant. The way they started building a slope was such a crowd pleasing moment. And you get it right away, how it works in TV mode and it seems pretty good.

Link's Awakening was so great to see. I can only imagine if they do that to the Oracle games or even the NES games, down the line. Part of me also wishes it was an original game and not a remake, but it is still perfect none the less.

The direct also sold me on Daemon X Machina. I downloaded the Prototype levels, haven't played them yet, but what they showed looks so good. Also I really liked the new Platinum game with the chain.

Finally, I'm already playing FF IX, waiting on VII and loving my Switch.

Re: Feature: What We Expect From The February Nintendo Direct

Al_Godoy

This is my prediction:

Big ol' 10 minute-gameplay show of Fire Emblem we'll get a release date. Followed by Final Fantasy VII announcement: available after the direct is over

Then we see a bit more of Yoshi's Crafted World.

Some Joker gameplay for Smash followed by a Persona/SMT announcement.

And finally: Metroid Prime Trilogy HD.

Re: Feature: How Super Smash Bros. Became The Ultimate Fighter

I remember being in my teens, buying a crazy game with Mario and Samus on the same cover. That's the reason I got it, I saw Samus and being the huge Metroid nerd that I am, I thought that was the closest I could be to having a Metroid game on the N64.

I got addicted to that game. Me and my buddies would spend countless hours playing. I know a lot of people discard that first game for being so basic, but I honestly haven't enjoyed any other more than the original. It was timing, just before going to college. I still keep my copy in great shape.
