Anti-Matter

AI is literally being misused by in the name of technology application in our lives.
And moreover I have heard AI was being misused for theft / fraud by using artificial looking and voice to mimick other people to decieve the victims.
That was really happened, I have read the case from my local newspaper.

I'm different.
I think both of them are 5 from 10.
Why?
Because I don't like the gimmick in the game that reversing back all of your accumulated multiple Mario lives to 4 everytime you Load the game. It just made the game felt harder to play with limited Mario lives and not to mention some of the Galaxy stages are not even fun to replay as they are really damn hard to clear and caused lost of multiple Mario lives for doing tiny mistakes.
I still sour with both of games, even from Wii version I already have.

@Megas75
Green Amy = Elphaba Throbb from WICKED 🤣

Oh here is the thing.
Actually I prefer the SEGA Olympic Games with normal human players, not by Mario & Sonic gangs as I can edit my own player fit to my taste and the only sport I really want exist in the game is BOXING since this sport still being underappreciated.
I don't care with mainstream sports like soccer (I hate this sport), basketball, rugby, American Football, etc as I will never touch those sports.
But I have interest more by the athletics sports like 100 m Dash, 110 m Hurdle, Swimming, Tennis, Beach Volleyball, etc.
And for Mario & Sonic version, I really want Mii return as playable character with tons of unlockable outfits. I don't want silly looking outfits for my Mii, I want cool sporty looking outfits.

Aw...
BLUEY was not on Top 40 this week. 😟
Maybe next week it will show up.

@sportvater
It was not pleasant.
The gameplay of both Mario Galaxy games are not fun to play with gimmicks of the multiple lives back to 4 everytime load the game.
I don't like this gimmick.

@Scollurio
Oh, I have ModNation on PS3.
ModNation have something that made the game special: Character editor, Vehicle editor and Track editor.
I hope next Mario Kart or other Cartoonish racing games can implement those features from ModNation and make it better.

@SlackerArtist
It's exactly what it is.
I would rather choose Klonoa PS4 / PS5 version and play on my PS5 machine instead to avoid that backward compatibility issue on Switch 2.
My solution to avoid drama.

@Segakid
I'm really serious with my unpopular choice.
I never joke with my very unusual, niche, unpopular choice.
I have those games on PS4 (Race With Ryan) & PS5 version (Paw Patrol: Grand Prix) .

My very unpopular choice.
I choose Race with Ryan and Paw Patrol: Grand Prix instead.

Oh, yeah.
I was the one who voted I'm more of a Race With Ryan kinda cat?

@MJF
But the fact Nintendo have to fix those games compatibility rather than being naturally emulated on Switch 2, to me the Switch 2 Backward Compatibility looked worse than previous Nintendo machines which have better Backward compatibility with previous games.

The Japanese version looked better.
But at the same time, I just sighed to see still No developers want to make new Cartoonosh Boxing games on modern console. 😞

NO.
I already have the Wii version for both games and they are not pleasant to play.

@Sambuc
Backward Compatibility is still important for certain gamers.
Me for example, I really need Backward Compatibility from Wii machine to play GameCube games since GameCube games are generally pretty weak for my taste compared with Wii games so having Backward Compatibility is very economic choice since you can play two different games on one machine.
3DS BC on New 3DS, machine boosted the sound of the games from both 3DS and NDS games. NDS games look better played on New 3DS machine than the native NDS machine.

@FishyS
I will not even bothering Klonoa Switch 1 version being still unplayable on Switch 2.
I just skip the Switch 1 version and choose PS4 / PS5 version instead.

It seems Switch 2 Backward Compatibility system is way different than previous machines.
It looks like doesn't emulate the previous game perfectly on newer machine.
Wii machine to play GameCube games, Wii U to play Wii games, 3DS to play NDS games, NDS to play GBA games have way much better Backward Compatibility system than Switch 2.

@roy130390
I still give one more chance for Switch 2 to get improved 3 years later.
If I don't see something better after 3 years later, maybe Switch 2 is not for me.

@ShadLink
I personally still prefer PlayStation style controller since I grew up by Dance Dance Revolution games on PS1 & PS2 which have button placement of D-Pad and Action commands exactly like DDR panel position.
Maybe Nintendo controller style are good for playing different games but NOT good for playing DDR games
Even XBOX controller style with asymmetrical analog button placement is same worse as Nintendo style controller and I felt quite difficult to play DDR UNIVERSE 1 game on XBOX 360 with XBOX 360 controller as the D- Pad buttons for XBOX is placed lower and I quite struggled to press the D-Pad on XBOX 360 controller with asymmetrical analog button position.

Again, it's depend on people gaming experience to tell which controller is the best.

@roy130390
Well, my PS5 machine is literally only for playing 3rd party KIDS games by 99.99% like BLUEY, Barbie, Paw Patrol, BRATZ, etc when the 3rd party games on Switch 1 have worse performance than PS5 version or the Switch 2 version is Game key card so it will be 100% I will pick the PS5 version instead.
Also, I don't care with PS5 games on PC.
I don't play like typical adult male gamers which only care for AAA Adult games.
I don't play games like that so my PS5 machine is only for playing KIDS games.
I only have one 1st party PS5 game, it's Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart.
It's the only 1st party kids games I accept.

Also, after pandemic I don't really care that much about portability if Switch 1 or Switch 2 version have worse performance than PS4 / PS5 version.
I have a lot of NON Portable gaming device in my gaming room like PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, Wii, Wii U and I'm fine with them being NON Portable.
I don't have to bring all my games outside and show off to other people.

@roy130390
But if I compared Switch 2 with PS5 in term of their Backward Compatibility, PS4 games are 99% compatible with PS5 machine and some of them get native performance boost to 60 fps for Free without further update or free update patch. It boosted from the PS5 power.
But when I see Switch 2 Backward Compatibility, I saw some of Switch 1 games have some issue on Switch 2, even some of them cannot be played on Switch 2 like Overcooked games. The Backward Compatibility of Switch 2 looks half baked than PS5.
I still think Switch OLED is better than Switch 2 in term it's battery life and the usage of normal micro SD card that cheaper than micro SD card Express.
And not to mention the infamous Game Key card situation for Switch 2.
It made me sour with Switch 2 for the 3rd party games on Switch 2.

@ShadLink
I personally do not like GameCube controller style as the button placement especially the analog button placement looks out of of place to me compared with PlayStation style controller with symmetrical analog buttons placement.
It fits for playing DDR for PS2 & PS1 version.

And for The Best Game 2025 nomination, it should be Fantasy Life I on the list, both PS5 & Switch 2 version.

Also, I'm sorry but I think PS5 controller design looks way much better than Nintendo Pro Controller in term of command button position & symmetrical analog buttons placement.

This is the beauty.

Switch 2 nominated as Best Gaming Hardware?!

Spitting Out My Drinks

Excuse Me?! 🤨

@Airsqueeble
But Outright Games revived BRATZ franchise.

Good morning.
This weekend I played Wii U and PS5 games. 😊

1. Animal Crossing : Amiibo Festival Wii U

I have unlocked Advanced Maps and have finished the first Advanced Map in Amiibo Festival from Desert Island Escape minigame. I think I can make my own style of Desert Island Escape as my own board game.

2. BRATZ: RHYTHM & STYLE PS5

I have finished the game just now.
It was pretty short game, I could finished the game within 4 - 5 hours.
The game was pretty decent with very standard world exploration in limited area + locked camera angle.
The Rhythm style game was consist 3 different style Rhythm games.
The first is Catwalk session.
You have to press the D-Pad button scheme finished with action command during the catwalk session.
Iit seems you have to input the Street Fighter style special attack command by following the music LOL.
The second is Pose challenge by pressing the Action command buttons that coming from four different direction like the first American Idol gameplay style on PS2.
The third is DDR style Rhythm game with songs from BRATZ and the scroll is Reversed which means the fallen star shaped arrows came from up to bottom.
The fashion style you wear in this BRATZ game just only for dress code purpose to participate in Pose Duel and the DDR style Rhythm game.

No SAWK ? 😟
But I like him the most.

@molkom
Well, actually it just only decoration after I played the PS5 version and I finished the game just now.
About the actual gameplay, the star shaped notes fallen down from up to bottom with gameplay like DDR with scroll Reverse with two new gimmicks: Repeated press note like Taiko no Tatsujin and the Bomb note that you should avoid them.
The songs are All BRATZ songs from old to new.

Nintendolife still haven't review BRATZ: RHYTHM & STYLE.

There is Dance Dance Revolution Arcade machine in the game.

Well, I will choose the PS5 version.

PS5 sales altogether is more than 16K unit sold. 😊
Good job!. 👍

Cooking Pikachu ?? (Cooking Mama with Pikachu)

I still feel sour with both Mario Galaxy games as both of them applied strict assignments by keep reverting your multiple Mario lives back to 4 no matter how many lives I have farm before and I don't like that gimmick.
Is Assist Mode with Double Mario hearts and Auto Bubble to prevent falling to bottomless pit will guarantee can compensate the multiple lives that back to 4 lives everytime I load the game?

@Suketoudara @AmplifyMJ
Are those My Riding Stables games?
They are already have PS4 and PS5 version.

Of course, this version will be smooth 60 fps on PS5 machine.

Nope.
I already have three version (four version if added with 3DS version) of LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER.
Wii U, Switch 1 and PS4 version.
I have finished the storyline for all those 3 version so I don't even need the Switch 2 version.
Even I have tested LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER on my PS5, the performance during open world was still 30 fps, not 60 fps. The only version which open world section can reach 60 fps is PC version.
But I already content to be played on Wii U, Switch 1 & PS4.

BLUEY is back on number 38 this week. 😊

Good afternoon.
This Sunday I played Wii U games for machine maintenance. 😊
1. Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
2. LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER

Desert Island Escape from Amiibo Festival was quite interesting as I will study more the gameplay feature to make my own Survivor style board game.

@Munchlax
Oh, yeah.
I forgot.

They choose wrestling instead of Judo. 😟
Sawk can be a good choice for representation of Judo sport.

I hope she will doing the best to handle Switch 2 situation.

I remembered I saw Shovel Knight was in Yooka Lalylee game before.
What was his role and the function in Yooka Layle?

Well, I will get the PS5 version instead for smooth 60 fps.

PS5 sales was decent for this week with total more than 8K unit sold. 🙂

Game key card = Pure 100% SCAM.
Pitchfork and torches, anyone?

Super Mario Bros movie was great.
I watched the movie for 4 times within 1 month at my local cinema.
I like Chris Pratt voice as Mario.
I wonder when exactly the sequel movie will be released.

I will get both Switch 1 & PS5 version.

Still unsure.
I heard the Gen 5 pokemons in this game only a few of them, my boy Sawk also is not in the game. 😟

I tried to search the developer and publisher of that game and guess what...?
Tencent was the publisher.
You know what is that mean when Tencent behind the games....

Question, what makes every Dragon Quest games different each other?
Because I have never played this franchise.
It doesn't look too radical different each other like Final Fantasy Roman numbers.

Oh, the game will be released on my birthday. 😃
Well, I will get the PS5 version for sure.
