Re: Random: Super Mario Sunshine's Mysterious Language Has Been Translated

@Banjo- I played 64 first and then played sunshine before galaxy back in the day. I still think Galaxy is still my favorite Mario game but over the years sunshine starts to grow on me every time I play it. It has some jank to it but tbh Mario feels like a dream to control in Sunshine. Its legit one of my top 3 mario games now.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Talks 8-Inch 'Switch 2' Screen, Joy-Con Compatibility

@johnvboy If People didint watch then they would not make these videos. But We do and I find it fun to speculate. I even remember speculating about project cafe with the Wii U back in the day. I remember most of the rumors ended up being true. Same with the switch it was leaked early on that it was a hybrid system. The only thing that was wrongly predicted with the switch was that the dock would have an egpu inside that would allow for better performance docked. (which tbh I hope the switch 2 has but theres been no reports of that so far

I agree. Not only are the joycons prone to drift ( way more than the likes of a switch pro controller) But I have had 3 Switches and 2 of them the railings do not keep the joycons connected and I constantly have to reconnect them in the middle of on the go gaming sessions. (even new out of the box joycons i bought)

Also the joycons are so puny and cramp my hands. This is not a modern Wii remote the wii remote was 10x better. Not to mention in wario ware move it the joycons are super innacurate almost every other minigame it picks up the wrong movement. Its like 10 steps behind a wii remote.

hopefully the joycons are gone good riddance. I got a nitrodeck for my switch and its so much nicer to play on the go.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Mario vs. Donkey Kong On Switch

Arcata

Sadly all the physical game stores in my area closed down. We had a retro store but they carried new games as well. It shut down 5 years ago. Then we had gamestop since like 2007 but it shut down. Sadly I had to pre order it from amazon but I just hopes it comes in the mail on time.

When the Switch 2 comes out I am worried how im gonna get a system on release. I legit might have to book a hotel or something in a city 2 hours away from me and wait outside a best buy at 6a.m lol

Re: Random: It's Been 5 Years Since Metroid Prime 4 Was Rebooted

@PROPS So in other words your friends were playing better games than you back in those days lol

I know its a matter of personal taste I love Wolfeinstein 3d and Doom but I would never take them Over Super Mario World or Super Metroid or Zelda a link to the past.

But I do have much respect for quake for birthing Tf2. Tf2 is actually my most played pc game ever I have like 3k hours in it I still play it every week

@PROPS Metroid Prime and Metroid games on the gba blow Metroid 1 and 2 out of the water. Same with metroid dread. However I do agree that Super Metroid is fantastic. But I find your taste in metroid games is kinda flawed.

I mean zero mission made metroid on nes actually enjoyable though so its a good remake. Same as the Metroid 2 remake on the 3ds. But you put Metroid 1 and 2 compared to Dread they stand no contest.

Its not because of the hardware either. Super Mario Bros 3 is still one of the best 2d mario games and that was on the nes. Most people agree Metroid 1 on nes and metroid 2 on gb were chugging and some of the weakest releases in the whole series.

@rushiosan As a massive Mario fan The mario movie was everything I hoped for. The whole thing felt like someone playing through a mario speedrun and thats why It worked for me. the 2nd half of the movie legit just felt like watching someone play a mario game except I was at a theater enjoying popcorn with people around me enjoying it xD

Re: It's Official, 3DS And Wii U Online Play Ends 8th April 2024

Arcata

I still to this day think the Wii U was the best time I ever had with any Console/Computer. I was in highschool when the Wii U came out and it legit got me through the hardest times in my life. The switch is great to but idk the Wii U just hit harder for me at the time. The only systems I have hooked up are my gaming pc, My Switch and my Wii U all to my same 4k monitor. I love the Wii U so much.

Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Updates Seemingly Discovered

Arcata

I think Prime 4 releases day one for Switch 2 and also releases on switch 1. Because it was promised for switch 1 but also to show off the upgrade from switch 1 to switch 2 in hardware. With a docked rez bump and possibly higher quality textures and Anti Aliasing. Kind of a good comparison of "why you should upgrade to switch 2"
