Re: Yes, Folders Are Now On Switch, Here Are Some Quick Tips

ArcticEcho

@Fizza I don't see why you wouldn't be able to as physical uses the same icons as digital. You can even delete the icons for physical and they'll come back when you put the cartridge in, though you have to download updates again. I did this with Let's Go Eevee and Yoshi when I was done and wouldn't go back to them for a while .

Re: Kit And Krysta Reveal Their Least Favourite Mario And Zelda Games

ArcticEcho

@Tyranexx NSMB2 is definitely the worst Mario game. People don't like Sunshine because it's really hard. And there are about 10 shine sprites that are basically impossible to do, probably because they ran out of development time. Even when you solve them you're not sure what you did. And I cannot for the life of me find the last 4 blue coins. But I think the personality, ambience, music, and the turbo nozzle more than make up for that.

Re: Nintendo Hypes Pokémon Scarlet And Violet's Rich Open World As An "Evolutionary" Step In The Series

ArcticEcho

@PhhhCough The gameplay of Pokemon has not changed since Ruby & Sapphire on the GBA. There have been no upgrades, improvements, or reworks. Sun/Moon were decent, Sword/Shield were terrible. I didn't play Legends Of Arceus, but I want to because spin-off Pokemon games are typically better. I will never play mainline Pokemon games again, though. It's a complete waste of money, especially with Xenoblade Chronicles 3 coming.

Re: AM2R Creator Isn't A Fan Of Metroid Dread's E.M.M.I. Encounters

ArcticEcho

@MetroidBossesRuinThe I 100% agree with your entire assessment. The EMMI were really not that hard to overcome, most times I got caught were purely from goofing off, and trying to master counter timing for them. The bosses like you said were the real block to progress and did cause me to quit for a few days at a time. They have way too much HP like in Monster Hunter, so they're far more boring than any EMMI. To contrast this, I've been playing through Zero Mission recently and those bosses are significantly easier.

Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Pokémon Scarlet And Pokémon Violet?

ArcticEcho

@dkxcalibur They've actually regressed since X&Y too. Alpha Sapphire and Ruby I quit 20 hours in. I liked Sun & Moon enough to finish the main content, but played it way less than X&Y. And all the great improvements made in X&Y were ripped out in Sun & Moon and Sword/Shield. They don't even have the online trading exchange anymore... Sword/Shield was so bad that there is no way I'd even consider buying Scarlet/Violet.

Re: Review: Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream - Another Intoxicating Blend

ArcticEcho

@Darknilious As far as I know, there has never been a demo for any Atelier game. Now on whether or not you would enjoy them, I would say they're pretty middle of the row turn-based JRPGs. They are better than most JRPGs but there are still better ones. They're not as hard as like Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, or Bravely. For playtime, they're about 30 hours rather than 80+ hours, so that may be a plus.

Re: Random: 'Nintendo Generation' Skeletons Aren't Tough Enough, Says US Army Major

ArcticEcho

@BlueMonk I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about the tendency of people like you to have a superiority complex on a site you would likely only be on because you share that hobby. You're basically saying, "I'm a gamer, but not like you losers, lol." It's like on Anime sites, where someone calls someone a weeaboo. It's a weeaboo site, everybody there is weeaboo. It makes no sense.

Re: Nintendo "Has Interest" In NFTs And The Metaverse But Ponders What "Joy" It Can Provide

ArcticEcho

@Kazgykes Crypto and NFTs are a market manipulation scam by billionaires. Nobody is buying NFTs, but rich people to sell to rich people. These things have no real benefit to anybody, using ancient inefficient database protocols. They use 100 times the amount of power of a typical VISA transaction, so yes it is destroying the environment needlessly. It is only a tool for making money. If you have the money to trade NFTs go ahead, because that's the only use for it. If I was rich, I'd be doing it, because it works. It is truly the greatest scam of all time.

Re: Don't Say It Too Loud, But PS5 Has Outsold Wii U In A Year

ArcticEcho

I believe the problem of the Wii U was being the successor of the Wii, which honestly wasn't that great. Yes, it sold fantastically, but I know every person that had a Gamecube and loved the Gamecube were sorely disappointed at the extent of the wiggle controls and the graphical ineptitude of the Wii. I went from Nintendo diehard to getting an XBOX 360 and a PS3. People were disillusioned by the Wii and every gamer I ever talked to felt the same. I bought the Wii U and loved it, but I'm a minority, many people refused to bite because of their experience with the Wii. I got a PS4 and sold it within 6 months, it didn't have anything special, so I only really play Switch, 3DS, GCN, and PS3 now.
