I never found Navi annoying, in fact I would frequently forget she was there. Tatl was fun, King of Red Lions was interesting and Midna was the BEST. It wasn't until Fi that I actually got annoyed by the companion character.
Doesn't matter where you play it, how you play it, or when you play it. Banjo-Kazooie is one of the best games you can play and one of my personal favorite games of all time.
Honestly for me, I watched when I was a kid for Team Rocket, and they are butchered in this one (mainly they don't get to develop bonds with pokemon they scare into submission/seduce, they get a random pokemon each episode) compared to the other seasons. At least as far as I remember. Haven't seen Indigo League through Hoenn in years and I've never seen Sinnoh through Alola.
@SwitchForce Repeatedly using words that are misspelled can harm your point more than help. It can make you come across as uneducated if you can't even spell your point correctly and thus have fewer people willing to take you seriously.
@GinMiguel Yeah pretty much, its one of the few things in Metroid that hasn't been shown in the games and could work narratively for a feature length film, characters arcs and all that.
I think an animated series a-la Castlevania would be awesome. A live action movie detailing her origin, with Ridley the central villain focus would work well I believe as well.
I don't agree with Mercury Steams policy, but since that IS their policy and it was known to the devs working on it they don't have much legal grounds to stand on to get their name in there. If the employees, former or otherwise, want to see that policy changed then they should speak out about it before the next game comes out. Sounds like the guy got compensated for his work financially though, so I remain perfectly fine with my purchase of the GoTY.
Gonna have to respectfully disagree. Imo Apollo wasn't a very interesting lead (which makes sense as the game was very much still focused on Phoenix's character over his), Klavier Gavin is a step down at prosecutor (in fact is probably my least favorite prosecutor in the series), Trucy Wright is kinda just, there, as an assistant it felt like to me. As far as the cases themselves, Turnabout Serenade felt like pulling teeth near the end there. All that said, it has one of the best, if not the best, villain in the series.
On a side note, was there a "Who can be the worst possible parent" competition going on? Because Phoenix, Gramarye, Mishram and a couple others are seriously awful.
Give me Ace Attorney 7, Ace Attorney Trilogy 2, Great Ace Attorney 3, Investigations Duology, Investigations 3, and a new game where you play as Franziska von Karma with a dedicated whip button.
1. Trials and Tribulations 2. Phoenix Wright 3. Dual Destinies 4. Great Ace Attorney Chronicles 5. Layton vs Wright 6. Spirit of Justice 7. Justice for All 8. Apollo Justice.
The text bubble makes it look like a messenger service and the color Magenta isn't an inherently fun color and I question how having a single color in your logo demonstrates diversity. Additonally, having such a generic look is not inspiring creativity. Imo this logo fails at everything they set out for it to do. Well, it is easy to reproduce at least.
I mean obviously, exclusives funded by the manufacturer of the console are very unlikely to go cross-platform and port-begging the developers is going to go nowhere, but fanboys gonna whine. Now, when is Spider-Man coming to Switch Insomniac?!
Not passing judgement until I hear their voices in their roles. The concept of a Chris Pratt Mario and Jack Black Bowser is funny though, so I guess I like it in that sense.
@Mariotag That would be Chyyka. A very fun boss. Quadraxis is probably my favorite boss in the Metroid series. Its a ton of fun and super satisfying to take down.
@Wavey84 Prime 2 Echoes is my favorite game in the trilogy. I found that I had the most fun replaying it (I replayed all 3 this past year). It is definitely more difficult than the other 2, but it never felt unfair to me.
@Mariotag Nope, I also never had trouble with Spider Guardian on Gamecube or Wii. It was only Boost Guardian and Emperor Ing that ever gave me trouble.
I remember when there were reliable sources that detailed Metroid Prime Trilogy coming to switch, a Switch Pro coming out last year (and the year before that), Persona 5 coming to switch, Retro Studios making Star Fox Grand Prix..... the list goes on. We'll see though. I believe if this is real, expect as much as they do with the other ones, the decent lineup at launch with obvious games missing, 3 games added every month or so until they inexplicably stop and then only come out periodically and the quality of the games vary incredibly.
@Clarice Out of curiosity, what didn't you care for in Prime 2 and 3? I recently replayed all of them and if I had to rank them I'd go 2, 1, 3, but would still say 3 is an absolute blast. Also, shoutouts to DKCR and DKCTF for being two of my absolute favorite 2D platformers.
It was an inevitability. I loved what I played though. The devs here have talent I hope they'll go on to make their own original games with the talent they have.
Bought Three Houses last week as my first Fire Emblem game and now I'm addicted. Love the characters and the interactions with them as well as the tactical gameplay. One of my favorite games now.
@SwankyKong64 Can't say I agree, flying and swimming with motion never bothered me (ie: if it was controlled with motion or buttons I wouldn't really care), though I get why people don't really like them.
@BloodNinja They said the profit margins didn't increase, not that it won't make a profit. Meaning the amount of profit they make per unit is the same as the original switch.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate Nintendo's 2021?
9/10 for me. Metroid Dread, Famicom Detective Club and New Pokemon Snap were the highlights for me, the rest were solid.
