Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd June (North America)

So wait a sec, 6 hand video poker costs 6 bucks, but 153 hand video poker, made by the same company, costs 99 cents....

????

For that low price I wanna get this one. It could be the next Letter or Meme Run, but to have it adjacent to Smash Bros and Mario Kart is deliciously ironic to me.

Re: Feature: Teams and Details Take Shape as The Gauntlet Aims to Revamp the Super Smash Bros. Competitive Scene

Battista

Not sure about completely "revamping". I've spoken with the smash community about this and 1v1 will never be supplanted by anything else (just like pro wrestling?).

But I really like this just like I love doubles and hope more communities can get something like this together

I've already spoken with friends about forming a team in my region and others want to give it a try too.

Re: Feature: Team-Based Super Smash Bros. Format, The Gauntlet, Aims to Transform the Competitive Scene

Battista

I'd like to see how the format pans out; to me it looks to combine smash bros with the team deathmatch format of a lot of FPSes, which could be a nice change of pace depending on what stages were used.

Also, I'd really like to see esports being used in a way that benefits the community so I definitely hope that gets off the ground. I'd love to speak with these guys to see if I can get something similar started in my area. Video games have been a great way for me to get to know kids of all ages and I'd like to give back.

Hopefully all the issues (both copyright and quality) are resolved. With a name like ninja pig studios, I want this guy to succeed. I really do.

Re: Feature: A Pokémon Retrospective: Generation 2 - 1999 to 2002

Battista

Pokemon stadium 2 was a high point for the series. It's worth knowing that with all the tools needed, gold, silver, red and blue can play alongside (not simultaneously obviously but still) AND battle each other, which couldn't be done on the gameboy.

I just hit myself right in the nostalgia feels

Re: Apparent Confirmation Emerges of Shovel Knight for Super Smash Bros., Denied in Vain By Yacht Club Games

Battista

I really don't have an opinion either way, but I wouldn't mind shovel knight in smash for two reasons:

1) he's the main representative of Nintendo's current trend of supporting indies - it has a place in Nintendo's recent history and it seems to be working

2) the game is a love letter to classic nes games so even though it's new it seems like he would fit

My reasons against Shantae are more personal; I know she's a cartoon character but I just wish she'd cover up lol
