I will be honest, I didn't realize it was an April Fool's joke while reading the article but it was the first thing that came to mind when I heard Alex's voice
Not being able to lend digital games has been one of my major complaints with the medium. This is going to be huge for me. I'm still buying physical but at least I won't be too bitter when a good game is digital only
I really like his philosophy that famous games are already famous, obscure games that need remasters for another chance to shine. Also very true about the nature about creativity restraints.
@JohnnyMind @AmplifyMJ Thank you for bringing the daily ray of positivity. Wishing you two a great day
I really enjoyed this game's difficulty. It felt way more rewarding than other mainline games at its time. Hoping that Legends Z-A strikes a good balance again
I've been growing my hair long again, I'd like to hear more about their "continuous hair function"!
That aside, I've never enjoyed RGB LEDs on anything so that might be ignorance on my part but what is the point of lights exactly where you grip the controller? Will it light up our palms?
My local retailer took more than 20 days to deliver my Phantom Brave preorder last month so despite my hype, I'm not expecting to play it any time soon 😢
Still, wishing good fun for everyone! This will be my first time playing XCX
Incredible commitment! They could have cheesed those eyebrows by walking a straight line but they went the extra mile (quite literally) and crossed two bridges for this!
Which pokemon did Reggie mispronounce? Please tell me it's Regigigas.
Jokes aside, pokemon pronunciation is pretty contradictory even in official sources. Cue Gyarados, or even the infamous change to Arceus pronunciation because butt
It may sound harsh for a person I don't personally know, but hearing Inafune left the producer seat of a game I was looking forward, and that they had to redo it... it gives me hope? I really want this to be a good game and I was cautiously pessimistic before
While I do not think Palworld is innocent, let's be honest here, this game is blatantly stealing designs, from copying trainers to altered pokemon, way more than any other games being sued
I can't imagine having a relic like a NES in working order being broken by a defective product. This is way more serious than replacement carts in my opinion
I really enjoy video game art of that time when the game itself left a lot to imagination due to resolution. It even works to set a mood/vibe which some indies have been doing well on replicating
Uh, is the Star Fox team called outlaws in the japanese game? I know "Air force dropout turned mercenary" is hardly a job inside the law but I've never seen them being called criminals before
Having Wario Land Shake It in 6th place only speaks of how good the previous games were, even if personally I'd score it higher. Wario Land 4 is my favorite and 2nd place is fair enough
@Spider-Kev that's especially funny because Red Hair is one of Adol's most used nicknames (that and Adol, the Red) in the whole series. There are characters that will call him that despite knowing his name.
I'm sitting on my Majora's Mask 3D cart but I've never played it so I can't cast a fair opinion. It is an incredible game everyone should play at least once, though
@NinChocolate it's taboo to say it in the gaming community but I do play the games and there is only a handful of musical themes I actually like. So yeah, it's not to everyone's taste
I don't know, it didn't bother me as much as some people make it on the internet. I did use the notebook a lot, and the horizontal grid mostly for the recent uses
I wish this would be indication enough for them to start printing more physical copies of their games. I just got DQIII HD this week and it wasn't fun to find and buy a copy
I have a handful of (optional) co-op RPGs but I can't find a way to make them work. I often take it slow reading the story and exploring new areas, the town, talking to NPCs and I can't imagine making another adult seat through my nonsense. I would have loved this when me and my brother were much younger, though
I've been told a handful of times that QA back then was mind numbing torture. I can only imagine why he can't enjoy the game after being told to break it to pieces a thousand times
Just to be sure: the Astral Chain IP belongs to Nintendo and Bayonetta IP belongs to Sega, right? In case they want to another studio to handle development...
@RupeeClock let's hope they won't walk backwards on that, we've been waiting for region free for so long.
Personally, I don't think I ever bought a japan exclusive game from the eshop. I think I've only made an account to download some code that came with a japanese import physical game. Same with European account. Unfortunately, my own country's eShop was set up much later in the Switch's life time and many of the early games aren't there, so I resort to the NA shop to get those games
@RupeeClock thank you for the information. Hopefully it's the later. The "we don't like you buying our games we don't release worldwide" sounds like bad business practice
