Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Gets A New Six-Minute Overview Trailer

Andymad

I mean, it looks absolutely gorgeous but I still am not sure what the point of it is... You capture Pokemon, yes. You have battles Pokemon on Pokemon in the wild that can also harm you, yes. But no trainer battles? Or gyms? Or.... I struggle to understand the objective. And that alone makes me want to buy it yesterday.

Re: Review: Yoshi's Story - Pleasant, But Not A Patch On The Dinosaur's Best

I remember downloading the trailer to this on my Mac Performa using Netscape. As I was obsessed with the original, I was so Damn excited for this entry. I had seen the sneek peeks in gaming mags, the “unused footage”. As gorgeous as it was, it sort of fell flat. Maybe I missed the style? I’m probably the only one here that LOVED Yoshi’s NEW island. I pray they embrace that style and create a new game in that style. No yarn, no crafts, no cardboard. The original felt less kiddy. Don’t know how it went from awesome to Seseme Street

Re: Detective Pikachu Star Doesn't Seem To Think A Second Movie Will Happen

Andymad

I fell like I was more hyped when the trailer came out, than when I actually finished watching the film. It’s been a while but I do remember enjoying it! However a few things I wished they showed more of were proper Pokémon battles (I know, not the point of the film). Like that Stadium scene in the beginning. The lighting for Pikachu’s attacks at the end were horrible. I wanted to see a proper thunderbolt or even Thunder and zap the sheet out of Mewtwo. That battle between Gengar and Blastoise… too short man. Again I get it, battling wasn’t the point Of the film. I didn’t mind the CGI at all, I thought it was amazing. I’d welcome another style like that 100%

Re: Feature: Every 2D Super Mario Game Ranked

Andymad

I'd say SMW is definitely #1 and Mario 3 deserves the second spot. But personally, I would put Mario U 3rd, and 6 golden coins 4th. TBH after the 'New' series, I honestly was waiting for a remake of SMW. Then I thought that if it used to New style, the charm would be lost. I would still welcome a SMW remake in a different art style, as well as a remake of the original Yoshi's Island. Good games deserve that kind of treatment. still waiting for Wario Land

Re: Nintendo Announces Super Mario Remasters And Much More In Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct

Andymad

Well I’ll be damned. I expected this. But I certainly didn’t expect THIS. Aside from my disappointment in Mario 64 being... the same... Sunshine and Galaxy look absolutely GLORIOUS. That said, Mario 64 is a welcome addition to re-live the journey to 120 since Christmas 1996.
That being said... a part of me feels like they would remake and revisit 64 from the ground up on Nintendo’s next console. The YouTube remakes are just too good. In the future. For now, I can’t wait to relive these games. Already preordered physical version. They’re sneaky those mother tuckers Nintendo.
This being released though shows we might get a holiday game... since this is limited for some damn reason.

Re: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Officially Announced For Switch, Includes All DLC And New Content

Andymad

Huh. Interesting. I’ve honestly never played Pikman. The games this year have been a miss for me. But I’m super happy for everyone who’s been wanting some form of Pikman game on Switch... even if it isn’t 4.

Who knows, we still could get that September Mario... and then a surprise holiday game. With this surprise I’m almost certain there will be a shadow drop for the holiday season. Whether it’s Mario related, I dunno.

Re: Soapbox: 25 Years On, I Still Can't Get Into Yoshi's Island

Andymad

Everyone is different. It truly is my all time favourite game. Ever.
I think that’s why Wolly World and Crafted Workd irked me so much. The art style became way too... kiddy and less and less like an actual part of the Mario World. I wish they would revisit it like they did with Yoshi’s New Island. But better. And on the Switch...

Re: Poll: Did The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partners Showcase Meet Your Expectations?

Andymad

I guess the majority of us were expecting them to pull an Apple “one more thing”. Just that one more thing to salivate over until an official announcement. I mean THAT would have been a wise business decision. However going into this majorly micro direct - it was pretty transparent that that was all it would be.
So I’m not hugely disappointed. None of these games are for me. For you? FANTASTIC, enjoy.
But I seriously believe they have plans coming our way. They just aren’t doing it in a very smart way by being so incredibly mute. Silence is deafening. And damaging.
