When Nintendo introduce FOMO stuffs like this with time limit, I'm not gonna interested.
I don't even want to celebrate 40th anniversary of Mario with this FOMO stuffs.
Also, I have low hype with Mario stuffs so.... The 3rd party games in my gaming shelf are my celebration of gaming.
Good afternoon. This weekend I played PS4 games on my PS4 Slim for maintenance and updating the machine. 😊 1. Overcooked All You Can Eat 2. LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER
Anyway, I don't have any interest with mainline Dragon Quest games before as i'm not really fans of Akira Toriyama art style, but after I played the other spin off like Dragon Quest Builders games, Dragon Quest Heroes games, somehow it grew some curiosity to try HD looking of Dragon Quest games. DQ7 Reimagined looked cute, the environment looked cute also, I still see the Akira Toriyama art style but more polished. The PS5 version probably will be my third chance to get the game as DQ7 PS1 & 3DS version were already get inflated price at flea market.
Also, noticed the age rating for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined changed from previously Teen to Everyone 10+ from the trailer. I assumed the storyline structure will be toned down and some of the contents from older game will be changed into milder version.
Actually I'm excited with this game as I have ever played Dragon Quest Builders games & Portal Knights. If only my main character is not Ditto in human disguise. That tiny dot eyes, tho....
@Daniel36 The game counted 1 minute in game = 1 second in real life so 1 hour in the game = 1 minute in real life. Time flow with style like this already implemented on modern Story of Seasons games, no more elapsed every 10 minutes in game = 6 seconds in real life.
Great. I hope Marvelous will keep continue to use game card to sell their games for Switch 2. Kudos to every developer or publisher who choose game card to sell their games for Switch 2. Customers are deserved for great products with respect.
I'm curious to see if Capcom want to explore more from fighting games by making cute Chibi Boxer / Kickboxer games with similar gameplay style like Street Fighter and whimsical & silly fighting style like Pocket Fighter and aimed for younger audiences.
Question from me.
Are both version still lack of using Mii as the Save Data icon on Switch version?
Also, will the new Switch version remove the stupid gimmick that keep your multiple lives for Mario back to 4 everytime you load the game?
I already have the Wii version, both of them and I don't think I need the Switch version.
@Glasso
When you load the game after you don't play them, all my multiple lives of Mario suddenly back to 4 or 5.
That was suck to not able all my multiple lives after working hard to get them by farming method.
Some of the stages of Mario Galaxy are really hard and not even fun to replay so I need tons of multiple lives to keep survive on that stages. The games just reverting all my cumulated multiple lives back to 4 or 5 everytime I load the game, how will I getting fun by this gimmick?
This gimmick is not even fun, that's really frustrating.
I really don't like this gimmick idea.
@GrailUK If Nintendo using game key card for their 1st party games, it's an Ultimate Greed. Psst.... Don't give Nintendo with this idea. They will start to apply game key card even on their games very soon.
How to solve this chaotic situation of Switch 2? FIRE the current Nintendo CEO Shuntaro Furukawa, replace with better Nintendo CEO and stop the production of game key card.
Nope. I already have the Wii version, both of them and they are not the best 3D platformer Mario games in my opinion. The multiple lives back to 4 or 5 everytime I load the game just turned me off. Even I have finished the first game, it was unpleasant to finish the game. Don't think I want to revisit the first game, still on the fence to continue the second game.
@LinktotheFuture I personally prefer the characters from 3rd party or other games like Kao the Kangaroo or Ratchet & Clank for 3D platformer games characters. Mario looks nice, I have quite a lot of Mario games in my collection, but I don't have very high hype level with Mario franchise.
Good morning. I played The Sims 4 PS4 on my PS5 this weekend. 😊
I realized I couldn't purchase Retail store lot from the Vacation lot like Granite Falls as the lot was specifically for Vacation purpose, so I changed back to Vacation Rental lot again to make it work. I have imported that lot to other place to test the Small Business rules for campsite and it didn't really work as I expected as I saw some people just randomly sleeping on the couch, not inside the tents and the outdoor activities from my customers after I watched them didn't look satisfying as I expected. Guess the assigned activities from Small Business expansion pack couldn't really replicate the outdoor activities for campsite. 😟
You literally jump to step the arrows.
My favorite jump parts from AFRONOVA during the sound byte "Shaba!Shaba-la-ba-la-Shaba-haba-HEEEE!" you can perform jumping the arrows while facing back toward the monitor and it will attract more attention from the people.
2. Chun Li - Street Fighter 3
Her Super Art technique #3 Tensei Ranka, she will perform spinning high jump and finish with smashing split to the ground.
Beautiful attack animation.
3. Freya - Final Fantasy IX
Freya can avoid the attacks from enemies by doing Jump command and she will attack the enemy after several turns. She can stay in the air very long while pummeling multiple attacks from the air when she is in Trance mode.
@Antraxx777 But I don't like when all my hard work to collect multiple lives for Mario Galaxy get wasted after I Load my Save data and all my multiple lives back to 4 or 5. That's really turned me off. The other platformer Mario games you can keep your multiple lives but not in Mario Galaxy games.
Btw, I have never played the Star Force. What is the difference between Battle Network and Star Force in term of gameplay? And what is difference between each version of Star Force with 3 different variants like Pokemon games?
I'm curious to see Super Mario Galaxy movie next year. I like the Super Mario Bros movie 2023 with Chris Pratt as Mario. His voice sounds fit for me as Mario.
I didn't watch the whole Direct but after I checked the individual trailers here, I will say it was collectively not good.
Very few games I felt interested.
The Mario 40th anniversary definitely will not working for me as I felt completely uninterested with Mario galaxy collection since I already have the Wii version and both of them are not the best 3D Mario games after I played them.
Mario Tennis Fever looked okay but seems too much elemental gimmicks.
New Yoshi game looked okay but 2D platformer is not my biggest hype.
The only my biggest interest and also Dang... It's exclusively for Switch 2 since it used Nintendo IP was Pokopia with gameplay like Dragon Quest Builders.
This game really need a proper physical game with full game data in cartridge since it still Nintendo 1st party game with partner Koei Tecmo as 2nd party developer.
Tomodachi Life for Switch looked interesting despite I still have to wait until 2026.
Kirby Riders doesn't look really interesting.
I have different idea with Pokemon Legends Z-A after I heard about Nintendo stupid game patents.
Not interested with Switch 2 version of Mario Bros Wonders, I already have Switch 1 version.
Definitely don't even care with Metroid prime 4, new fire emblem, donkey Kong bananza dlc, virtual boy, the AAA 3rd party games.
Some 3rd party games like Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, Monster Hunter Stories 3 I will pick the PS5 version instead, doesn't even care with BS game key card version.
Overall, I will give the score 4 from 10.
Um... Nope. I already have the Wii version, both of them. And both of them are not the best 3D Mario games in my opinions on after I played the games. It was so hard, the multiple lives I have accumulated before will always back to 5 lives everytime I load the games, so Nope from me.
If there is No Mii option for Save Data icon and the same lame feature (multiple lives back to 5 lives every time I Load the game) on Switch 2 version, well... I will stick on my Wii version. Also, both of them are not the best 3D Mario games for me. They are pretty hard games to play.
