Toad-Toadsworth-Toadette-Captain Toad would work. I think those and Waluigi are better shouts than Daisy, who is literally a clone with no personality.
Looking back though, I think we take for granted just how excellent the Smash roster is, even if people are nitpicky.
@sketchturner Kirby’s Pinball Land is genuinely in my top 10 games of all time. I can’t see it finishing high up on this list though as it’s not very well known.
@Giygas_95 Borderlands is excellent, the loot system is a bit like Diablo in that guns drop with randomly generated stats (improving as you go up in level). This includes shotguns, pistols, SMGs etc., all of which might be your next 'best' gun. The missions are fun. If you only have time to play one, Borderlands 2 is the best.
I respect the support given to this game considering it’s not trying to peddle endless skins and DLC. I don’t own it but I think I’ll buy it next time it’s on a half decent sale to support the dev.
@ChaosBadger777 It costs the company money to port it. If they were to charge £5 for it they’d probably not recoup the costs of porting it. Wait for a sale if you’re not willing to pay the release price.
@Lionyone So, basically, individuals aren’t responsible for their actions and it’s the fault of society. It’s good to be empathetic but be careful you don’t stray into thinking all bad people are somehow victims.
I think Doomguy is far more likely than Master Chief. Unlike Doomguy, Steve and Banjo-Kazooie, Master Chief has never appeared on a Nintendo console.
Still think Crash, Rayman and Bomberman are the biggest names missing. Having said that, anybody disappointed with Smash’s roster has some entitlement issues.
I played it for the first time on Switch. I’d say the game is more impressive than it is fun.
If you like constant ridiculous anime style battles (Godzilla-esque) then you’re likely to enjoy it. Again, some of the game mechanics are impressive but can also be frustrating.
Why would we want a random Overwatch or Fortnite character when there are so many iconic gaming stalwarts still not in the game? Would you really want a dancing idiot Fortnite character over Crash Bandicoot/Spyro/Rayman/Bomberman etc.?
@brandonbwii I get your point but I would hope people do not judge the average person in the street based on some movie/game characters they’ve seen of the same race/nationality/whatever, that would be dumb. However, some stereotypes exist due to real world cultures (e.g. witch doctors still exist in Africa, that doesn’t mean people will assume a black person in Germany is of African heritage and therefore a witch doctor because of a video game character). Grouping races like that makes me think the person complaining was more racist than the makers of the game.
@brandonbwii you could argue it’s lazy, yes. The creator has said that it wasn’t their intention. Are you offended by stereotypes of French people riding bicycles carrying cheese and wine? A lot of these game “stereotypes” are there to celebrate different cultures in a fun way, but some people will always see the negative. I’m not offended that the majority of villains in Hollywood movies seem to be British 😂
@Kalmaro Can’t you see how much better your life would be if you could be offended by anything and everything, regardless of intent?
God forbid black villains have dreadlocks, they should have pink hair and 3 arms to ensure they don’t represent real people. Soon villains in games will not be anything other than white males in case someone is offended on someone else’s behalf, imagine how tedious that would be.
I will eventually purchase all 3 games 2K have released, having only played Borderlands previously it feels like I’ve missed out on the others. I’m actually a massive fan of ports nowadays!
Lots of sauce-related life stories here “Hmm well I’ve always respected the inventor of ketchup and mayo killed my cat when I was 12, however I regularly use mayo in my macaroni pictures” Just pick a colour and spaff it everywhere.
@GoblinKing86 I disagree. I’m not someone who cares about streaming etc. and I mostly enjoy single player games, but online gaming is like a sport, in that you’re competing against people very skilled at the game. You will always find tougher opposition online than in the main game.
The online function is probably the most disappointing thing about the Switch. Matchmaking and social interaction are so far behind the other consoles, particularly considering online gaming now is a huge draw for people.
I use online for quite a few Switch so I feel my whining is justified.
@RazumikhinPG Who cares? I never played Wonderful 101 so when I backed the Kickstarter I just accepted that I was buying a port.
They fixed the blank codes pretty quickly. Did Platinum Games step on your hamster or something? You sure are salty. Your brother got the game for free essentially.
I imagine kids in Syria read this news and felt a pang of deepest sympathy for western kids (and overgrown adults) having to wait a few days to play their newest console game. Sending thoughts and prayers during this difficult time xoxo
I personally love having portable ports of classic games I never got to play on other consoles. I have a huge SD card to take them all away with me and usually get games on sale - I’ve never had so much choice. I understand they’ll cost more because of the costs of porting and marketing the games. Obviously it’s not a simple procedure as it often takes months/close to a year.
