Re: Review: Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection (Switch) - A Janky Compilation Carried By Nostalgia

ArthurFan1998

Question, is it okay if I get this out of nostalgia & curiosity, even if I end up not enjoying the games?

I was a big Rugrats fan as a kid, but I never played any of the video games, as I didn't start playing video games until the Mid 2000s thanks to the Nintendo DS when I got it in 2006 and The Simpsons Hit and Run on PS2, which I think I started playing a few years after its release in 2003

Re: Review: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre

ArthurFan1998

Honestly, I'm not surprised by the review, had a feeling this game wouldn't be my cup of tea, and knowing Good-Feel's recent track reocrd (namely with Princess Peach's Showtime), its not surprise it feels very pre-schoolish.

The fact you can hear Twinkle Twinkle & Mary Had a Little Lamb in there would be immediate turn offs for me if I was still undecided on whether I would get the game. And I'm someone who doesn't mind rewatching old Pre-Schools I've watched in the past.

Re: Talking Point: Star Fox Old Vs. New Designs Compared - Which Do You Prefer?

ArthurFan1998

Note: I haven't played any Star Fox games, I am only familiar with them through Smash and the only time I've played a Star Fox game was via 3DS Download Link (I think that is what it was called) via a friend at the time who had the game.

I might try them out after this game announcement when I get back home as I am abroad at the moment.

As someone who hasn't played any of the games, I'm honestly on board with majority of the new redesigns, although for all of them there is not difference to me, I ESPICIALLY love Andross's new design. And I will grow to like Falco's new redesign, espicially when comparing him to Revali as it does make sense. And I certainly understand the reasoning for making the beak shorter.

Whenever the next Smash game comes out, I hope they use the new Falco design, as I think seeing the previous design will be pretty jarring.

Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Pokémon?

ArthurFan1998

For those I comment other but didn't have the option to say:

Kyurem - I go with the official pronounciation

Nihilego - I'm actually not sure, its not a Pokémon I think about that much.

Quaquavel - Same as Nihilego

Rattata - Same as Kyurem

Reuniclus - Ree-you-neh-klus

Zoroark: Zo-roar-ark

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?

ArthurFan1998

Haven't seen it yet, but I remember loving the first movie namely due to the animation, Peach & Bowser, but I will have to do a rewatch.

I don't know if the poll or this post will remain by the time the movie has been released digitally on YouTube, but I will say based on thoughts from individuals I follow who's seen the movie, I think I'm going to enjoy it too.

Just not as much as the first one, but I'll have to see how I feel when I watch it. I will say this thou, I can see myself not liking Fox's appearance judging from NintendoLife's recent video, sounds like his appearance is very fanficy in nature.

Like I said thou, I'll have to see how I feel when I watch it when it releases digitally on YT in my region, or get it on Blu-Ray if that is available first.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 7 Pokémon?

ArthurFan1998

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion, but Gen VII is my least favorite Gen of the franchise. There are not a lot of Pokemon designs I like, with Bruxish been the worst.

As for my favorite Pokemon, its easily Zeraora which is who I voted for. Shoutout to Rockruff, Litten, Torracat, Popplio, Brionne, Mimikyu, Golisopod, Steenee, Lurantis, Mareanie, Vikavolt & of course, Rowlet (I think the Anime has a lot to do with his popularity), who are probably the only other Gen VII Pokemon I would use honestly.

Edit: Forgot about the Alolan forms, Alolan Ninetales is easily up there as a favorite of mine with the Alolan variants of Exeggutor, Raichu, Sandslash & Vulpix been up there too.

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream's Price And Box Art Have Been Revealed

ArthurFan1998

@PtM I agree, that is why I don't really care about the news of the sharing limitations, espicially when in the same article, NintendoLife points out about Swapnote.

Not to mention the amount of weird stuff that is on the Smash Bros Ultimate's share feature. I think we just need to be patient and wait, hopefully Nintendo will clarify it in a future Direct or trailer. Or the reviews prior the game's release will tell us.

Re: Talking Point: When Did 'Good Enough' Become Good Enough For Pokémon?

ArthurFan1998

Honestly, I don't know. My favorite era of Pokémon is the DS/Wii era, between both the main series & spinoff games.

However, from the 3DS era and beyond, it has being a mixed bag.

I am one of the few people who enjoyed X, and I loved AlphaSapphire too.

However, Gen 7...is my least favorite generation of all, I wasn't a fan of a lot of the new Gen VII mons, and I never completed the games. There are aspects I do like about it, but this is when I started to feel negative about Pokémon.

In regards to the Switch era, I did enjoy both Let's Go Eevee, Pokémon Sword & Shield. However, Violet is when I started to have doubts about Pokémon, a lot of it possibly being due to me being a different type of Pokémon fan than others.

I love my linearity in Pokémon, and while I didn't mind the open zone format of Sword. I wasn't as much of a fan of the open world of Violet, to the point it took me a long time to get back to the game.

Part of it being that I've being spoiled by Grand Theft Auto as outside of that franchise, I can't get into open world games at all, even Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom. There are exceptions of course, I love Marvel's Spider-Man.

I did enjoy Legends Arceus and have restarted the game to play it again, as it is a great game. However, as for Legends Z-A, I just don't have the urge to play it, and I don't know why.

I am one of the few people who don't care about graphics or how places look, and I don't mind it only being set in Lumiose City. However, I'm not a massive fan of the battle system in the game, espicially with the cooldown feature. And the lack of grinding options doesn't help either as I can't battle trainers as if I lose, then I'll lose money, and I want that money to buy items.

The lack of variety in the Pokédex doesn't help either. I just feel so mixed on Legends Z-A that I just don't know how to feel about it. Its not bad, I am intrigued by the story, but I just don't know if I want to play it.

Its honestly why I feel like when Gen X comes around, I'm gonna wait and purchase it after it releases, so I know it is a game I want to purchase.

I'm a 27 year old adult who has to consider a lot of factors. I'm not that kid who loved Pokémon so much in the DS/Wii generation anymore.

Pretty sure the only Pokémon purchase I'll make next year is Pokéopia.

Re: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Kart World?

ArthurFan1998

Its a 9/10 game for me, I love everything about it and its fun playing online with others espicially. Free Roam is honestly the best thing about the game imo, with Knockout Tour being an easy second.

My main negatives namely comes down to missing options with the Vs. Mode such as an option for no items. I'm also not a fan of how rare the Kamek Item is and there are no other ways of unlocking NPC characters. I do agree with the complaints of the character roster too.

Also, I do agree with what @IceClimbersMain said about the free roam mode, I just love to drive around. Its what I loved about GTA V's Director Mode until it was shut down.

Re: Nintendo Life's Switch Summer Survey 2024

ArthurFan1998

@antdickens I initially started this poll on my phone but was having trouble and accidentelly pressed submit on an answer I hadn't finished for the "Where do you typically watch Nintendo Direct broadcasts?" Question. I was hoping I could finish it on PC but it seems like its still submitted, is it possible if I could re-submit with a more complete answer?
