Re: Princess Peach: Showtime! Demo Now Available On The Switch eShop

Altaria_97

Sweet. I’ll give it a download now and will try it later today. Thanks for the heads up!

Edit: Had a some time to give it a go. It’s… alright? The resolution seems like it’s somewhere between 480p and 720p and the frame rate surprisingly stuttered on me quite a few times.

The gameplay is even more basic than Kirby and Yoshi titles. Not terrible for a “turn your brain off” kind of game but even the collectibles were mostly just given away or in super easy to find areas. And I was hoping for more set pieces or gameplay variety but it was kind of just press B to attack and that’s it.

It’s not bad but it was painfully basic, even more so than I was expecting. For now I think I’ll skip this one, which is a shame because I love the concept for the game. But hey, not every game is for me. Glad for those who enjoy it.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario vs. Donkey Kong For Switch?

Maybe sometime in the future but I have no plans currently. I liked the original on the GBA but it just feels like an odd game to remake, at least for the asking price. There are simply too many other games I'm currently playing through to warrant picking anything up at the moment unless it's something I'm dying to play.

I'm much more excited for Peach's Showtime, Luigi's Mansion 2, and Paper Mario TTYD.

Re: Talking Point: Which Feature From Each Smash Bros. Game Should Make A Return?

Altaria_97

Perfect content for me would be:

  • Ultimate’s style classic mode where each character has their own unique set of battles
  • An adventure mode with plentiful cutscenes like Subspace but gameplay from World of Light
  • A proper mission mode back like Melee, Brawl, and Wii U
  • Break the targets for each character + homerun contest
  • Trophies to collect, with some locked behind achievements

All this would make Smash just as good of a single player game than a multiplayer one.

Edit: A lot of people like Smash Run and I think the only issue with it was that it was tied to a handheld. So bringing that back for 4-player split-screen on a TV would be awesome, much like Kirby Air Ride’s City Trial mode.

Re: Poll: How Much Internal Storage Would Be Reasonable For 'Switch 2'?

Given the system is able to output a 4K picture (not saying games will actually run at that resolution), that means games will have higher res textures, even if they’re running at 1260p or something.

Given that, and the rising size of third party titles (and Nintendo titles if they support over 1080p resolution textures)… I’d say the minimum they could get away with to avoid insane backlash is 128gb.

That said, 256gb - 500gb would be way more optimal. My guess is on 256gb with the obvious SD card expansion slot.

Re: Talking Point: What Are The Worst Parts Of Your Favourite Games?

Altaria_97

Not that it matters much since the game is pretty balanced and your actual driving and playstyle around items are way more impactful…

But I don’t like how most of the “best” karts in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are silly looking. Basically, the cooler the vehicle, the worse performing is lol. This is why most lobbies are filled with people using the Teddy Buggy, Biddy Buggy, and Mr Scooty lol.

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced At The Level-5 Vision 2023 November Showcase

I’m probably overthinking this, but saying they have a release date for Fantasy Life i, then choosing not to share it for “strategic reasons” seems like they want the game to be a launch title for the Switch 2 or whatever it is.

If they had a remake planned, you’d think they would’ve announced it here. So… Fantasy Life i at the Switch 2 launch? I gotta stop speculating haha.

Re: Best Mario RPGs Of All Time

Altaria_97

Time for my obligatory Paper Jam defense statement lol. Yes the story and world left much to be desired but it felt like a fresh of breath air after the insanely slowly paced Dream Team. It has the best core gameplay in the entire series, seeing the characters interact with their paper counterparts is amusing, traversing the world felt fast and fun, and it gets pretty challenging. It could definitely be better but I think it’s a great game.

Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Should Be Adapted For The Movie?

Altaria_97

I think they’ll combine elements from a couple games. Maybe mainly focus on Breath of the Wild for the first half (waking up to a destroyed Hyrule) but as the film goes on, give him his green cloak, have him visit famous locations from a few other games, and battle some iconic bosses from previous games.

We’ll see, there are a lot of cool things they could do.

Edit: I also think Zelda and other core characters will play a bigger role in the movie and not just be at the end or in a single scene or two telling Link what to do.

Re: Best WarioWare Games Of All Time

Altaria_97

Move It being so low isn’t right. My guess is people are older and aren’t willing to replay games like this or get a group of friends for local multiplayer. It has everything and more than the other games plus some really inventive micro games.

To each their own, but I think people are more generous to games they replayed over and over as a kid since they had a limited game selection.

Re: Poll: WarioWare: Move It! Is Out Today, Will You Be Getting It?

Altaria_97

It should be coming in the mail soon. My brother has Best Buy’s Plus membership or whatever it’s called, so I was able to get this as part of the buy 2 get 1 free deal.

Love me some WarioWare. I’ll be playing the single player this weekend but once I’m not sick, I’m sure it’ll be fun with friends.
