AnnoyingFrenzy

@Jayenkai im pretty sure its just the L button.

@The-Nate I will concede that Kraid has some pretty luscious locks in the manual for the original game (which I completely forgot about due to his later appearances looking completely different) although I still maintain that his hair is looking even more fabulous on the cover than in the manual. Probably because of the larger amount on his head and how much it flows, he clearly uses great conditioner.

Is that kraid on the cover? Why is his hair so fabulous?

10/10: Prime 1, Prime 2, Prime Trilogy

6/10: Hunters

@Friendly Hmmm, can't say I've heard anything about that but certainly sounds plausible enough in this day and age sadly.

@AndyC_1101 yeah, Switch, PS5, PC is the route I'll probably be going rn unless Xbox churns out actual exclusives I can't get on my PC.

@AndyC_1101 Well, I definitely can say Xbox hasn't done a very good job making me want one. But if someone is willing to drop 1100 on an Xbox, at that point why not just get a gaming PC. That can play all the Xbox games and more.

I just want to know who the people buying $1,100 Xbox's are.

@TheFrenchiestFry Thank you. Star Fox Assault is, imo, the best star fox game and there is still so much room for improvement with the gameplay they could offer for on foot sections.

Loved this game, it has its flaws to be sure and it isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay itself. Enough to A rank every mission and sidestory.

I hope this guy didn't tear any muscles cause that was quite the stretch.

@BananaMetallurgica What can I say? Great minds think alike.

I'd love that so much, they are great games. Just modernise some of the mechanics left over from the 80s and you've already got a winner.

I personally would gladly pay $60 for Metroid. I would also have gladly payed $60 for either Ori game. I don't view Dread as me getting ripped off, I view the Ori games as a me getting a steal.

Take all the time you need Retro.

@Deepdoop Well, I'll start by saying that it's nothing the game really does wrong. It's a well made game and I can see why so many people liked its twist, but in truth its the twist that disappointed me. Like most people I imagine, I went into the game knowing nothing (in truth I didn't even know it was a viral game, a friend of mine just told me try it out, if it wasn't for that, and the psychological horror tag I probably would have never played it). What I found upon playing was what at first looks like a normal dating sim, but I then learned that each girl has a "dark secret" for lack of a batter term. One suffered from depression, another alluded to parental abuse, and another was masochistic iirc. Basically, these were interesting characters that I wanted to learn more about and maybe even help them with their situation. Props to the character writer for writing interesting characters. Well... mostly interesting characters. One of the characters was kinda bland, maybe intentially so. So perhaps now you can imagine why halfway through the game when it shifts its focus entirely on that one character it left me disappointed (the 4th wall breaks were genius though). So its an interesting case where I came up with the game I thought it would be as I was playing that is more interesting to me than the game it ended up being. So its an entirely me thing.

TL/DR: The twist shifting the focus of the game away from the three interesting characters I wanted to learn more about entirely on the one character I couldn't care less about (even after the endings) is what disappointed me.

@Deepdoop I don't really care about pure dating sims, so the psychological horror was more a plus rather than a drawback.

I think at best we'll see a teaser with no release date.

@GrayFox666 Indeed. Got Ace Attorney trilogy (Pre-ordered chronicles) and both famicom detective club games to name the more popular ones. Loved all of them.

This just made me realize how much I prefer Link's traditional outfit to his Champion's outfit in BoTW.

I bet I'm the only person that got really disappointed by the direction the game took and ended up disliking the game because of it.

I highly doubt Samus is ever coming to fortnite. I wouldn't hold my breath for it at E3.

This does make me realize there is a real lack of American Football games on Switch though. In general, really, Madden is the only one that comes to mind, and from what I hear that's gone downhill hard.

I still really wish we got a game that looked like this. TP Link is my favorite Link design by far so seeing him look like this was jaw dropping back when I first saw it. I also know it doesn't age as well, but I also prefer OoT/MM and TP artstyles to WW, SS, and BoTW. Those games still look AMAZING mind you, but I also still think TP on GameCube looks great as well so maybe I'm just insane.

Today I learned Apple Arcade is a thing that exists.

Definitely, but give me Rhythm Heaven as well!

I seemingly replay Luigis Mansion, the Prime Trilogy, both Banjo Kazooie's, at least of the Professor Laytons, Portal and one of the Zelda games annually.

Whether the Switch Pro is real or not, I fully believe this specific listing is fake.

Higher rated than Breath of the Wild? It got a 97, so it's difficult, but can be done, 21 games have tied or beaten that score. Higher rated than Ocarina of Time though? It has a 99. so nearly impossible. You need a minimum of 7 reviews to be put on the all-time list on Metacritic, this game currently has 6. It's up to NintendoLife next week to decide its fate.

Not gonna lie, an open world Sonic just sounds bad. Prove me wrong Sega.

Huh, I might actually get this depending on price point and battery life. My entire Steam Library on a portable Switch-like device? Yes please!

Absolutely loving these games, finished missing heir and am working through Girl who Stands Behind.

I've never been a fan of the Dragon Quest or Dragon Ball art styles. I like anime art styles, just not his. I do admit that the North American version is not the best, but I still vastly prefer it to Japan's.

Smash Ultimate- 9.9 on Classic with every character

Girl who stands behind - Just beat Missing Heir and excited to start the sequel.

Okami HD - about 5 hours in

Animal Crossing New Horizons

Playing through Missing Heir right now, loving it so far!

@sixrings @nessisonett Those are fair points. It is harder to compare a late stage 3DS game to a mid-life Switch game when it comes to visibility.

Honestly not as bad as gating an entire difficulty behind an amiibo in Samus Returns. Still not great though. That said I am midly upset that just how many more people are throwing hands about this than the Samus Returns one, just goes to show how much more popular Zelda is than Metroid.

Controversy aside, even if this was standard in game, my first thought when I saw this was "wow, that's useless."

I see your arguments, and I can't say your wrong. However, to me, in terms of quantity and quality of game releases, I'd say the golden age was GameCube, PS2 to early Xbox 360 era. All 3 companies were pumping out high quality experiences with no sign of the issues plaguing current AAA games.

Both games are great and have earned great sales. To argue one is more deserving than the other (or that RE8 is a "threat") is a little weird to me, as they are going for two VERY different audiences. I mean, a person that isn't into B-movie "horror" but is into calm sightseeing tours would probably say Snap is the better game and therefore "deserves" more sales.

@Rob3008 Iirc Ryan said he was "off last week" in the UK sales chart comments.

I'd be very surprised if this ever gets localized in the west. The game is very Japanese, would undoubtedly crash and burn in the west. Might not even make its localization money back. From what I understand, its a train simulation board game? Already extremely niche, but the artstyle is going to put off most western people who would be interested most likely. The artstyle simply doesn't appeal to western audiences like it does to the Japanese.

Man, can't wait to play both of these. I'm on a murder mystery kick right now so these came out at the perfect time.

Huh, I've personally never had trouble finding pokemon cards. Granted I never buy them, it's not my scene, but there are always plenty on the shelves by the check-out line at my local Walmart.

Im playing the game Finals Week. I am dead inside.

And the news would have you believe that Nintendo has just been sitting on a port since 2018. Along with Star Fox Grand Prix from Retro, and Atlus has Persona 5 for Switch ready to go, and Miyamoto is cooking something that smells like Pikmin 4.

We are 4 years into the systems life, why are people still confused about how a hybrid system works.

I actually preferred Detective Pikachu to the Sonic movie.

@NintendoJunkie Thats a good point. I guess they'd use Zero Suit Samus then? Her design would translate easier into Fortnite. That said, not the best choice for a rep since ZSS is barely in most Metroid games.

I don't care about Samus being in Fortnite or not, I care about Epic using fanart that has her gun on the wrong hand in their official documentation. Isn't a good sign.

@XenoShaun Ah who could forget such beloved -features- that will surely make fans nostalgic
