@Joeynator3000 This is all my heart desires. I would lose it if we got ports of classic MH 🥹

@Aurumonado The first thing I did is downloaded my favorite event levels (that awarded amiibo outfits), levels from Koji Igarashi, then the levels from a few creators I followed back then.
Time for me to get some final Splatoon, Triforce Heroes, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sessions in!

They should have just pulled a FF14, nuked the original game's world canonically and rebranded this updated version.

So much hostility in this article when Temtem is available on the eShop 🤔 And apparently the gameplay has more in common with Ark.

If they ever patch in the ability to choose the online modes that you want to play, I'll bite. Until then, I'll probably wait for a sale.

I was pleasantly surprised when I booted this up, and I say this not really being a Fortnite fan in general. Frankly I went in so blind I thought this was going to be a Lego BR, but I'm so glad it's not! I do wish you could download this separately without going through the usual Fortnite interface, but it's definitely worth checking out all things considered.

I'm so happy to have these games in one place. I wonder if we'll eventually see an Ace Attorney Investigations collection as well...(pretty please, I want to play an officially translated port of the second game!) 😏

Huh...well I guess making a mode that's just "F-Zero SNES Online" helps accommodate the permanently decreased player count. Otherwise not too much to get excited about unfortunately 😔

The only way to truly struggle at this dungeon is to not complete it in one sitting and lose your bearings. Ocarina 3D resolved the inconveniences, and I've always struggled with the shadow temple more than water.

Blangonga got my vote, and I'll die on that snowy hill 🥶👍

Dang, I was hoping this would be one that I aced. 12/15, could have been 13 if I actually took the time to try recalling the ocarina songs one by one lol

Shantae was a great start, the rest was a wash for me.

I'm glad they are keeping Tetris 99 alive, but maybe F-Zero 99 could get some themed pilot cards or vehicle skins? I just hope that game isn't left out to dry after the last update 😕

Just ordered Ganondad so he can menacingly stare at my TotK Link amiibo from across the desk!

DK Mountain! That's all I wanted and I'm so glad it's finally here 🥹

NES for the tight controls and no voice clips, GBA for the bonus levels!

X and Y were truly special. Full 3D Pokemon adventures with a customizable trainer. It was the last time my friends gave the series a shot, with some great trades and battles as we played through it simultaneously. If it had proper endgame content, it would probably be my favorite generation.

I bought one of these for my little brother before the Switch released, but I stuck with my New 3DS XL. If I come across one in the wild, I'll be tempted to pick it up. I always found the form factor to be interesting, and the L/R buttons feel pretty nice.

Predictable with the closure of the eShop for these systems, but this still saddens me. The 3DS and Wii U mark an era that saw my early struggles of independent adulthood, dating my eventual life partner, and starting my current career, among many other life events. Time to meet some more random hunters on MH4U while I still can 🫡😭

It's really hard to say which one I prefer. I leaned towards the original, but they each have strengths! I think the bloom is overdone on HD and some of the color palette changes are a little too saturated, but on the other hand I never thought the color palette of the original was all that appealing either. I do really enjoy the way sailing looks in HD with the cloud shadows!

None of my friends owned Amazing Mirror growing up, so I only ever got to play it solo. I'm very excited to finally play cooperatively!

@FishyS Trust me, surviving a match is half the battle (race?)! It's an especially useful skill for progressing in a Grand Prix!

Pay no heed to the moaners. This is a chaotic and very fun game, and a great way to show Ninty that a new F-Zero entry can succeed 😎 It's very touching that an OG dev even gives it praise!

I loved this series as a kid! I had so many of the action figures and they were awesome. I might have to pick this up considering I never got to play it previously!

Both covers are severely lacking stars! 🤭 Jokes aside, both are solid, but I feel the art style on Japan's is a tad stronger.

It's a pipedream but if they made Shroomish...👀

The track list here does look pretty dire...I wonder if the Japanese version has a different selection (like how Taiko No Tatsujin on PS2 and Donkey Konga had regional exclusive songs) 🤔

I knew something was afoot when the "Alien Hominid HD" tile on my Series S changed to "Alien Hominid 360". I poured a lot of time into both the GameCube and 360 ports back in the day. Especially PDA Games!

Shout-out to Last Hero of Nostalgia. It's a pretty solid souls-inspired game with some decent humor and countless references to other games.

Chibi-Robo. Poor little bot got mistreated ever since the first game by subsequent releases changing the controls and/or core gameplay.

I found out about Minus World from a new hire I was mentoring at my job. After he described it, I looked up the exact method to get there online then did so. Very interesting glitch!

I was born in 1992 and as a very young child, All Stars was the first version of these Mario games that I played. I have a soft spot for them, and revisiting it years later I can see little flaws. Nowadays, I prefer the graphics of all stars but the movement/mechanics of the NES games. So they each have their own charms for sure.

@Wheatly Exactly. I'm glad knowing the files I dumped are safe 👍

And thus, I am glad I got a Steam Deck on the recent Steam sale. Relation to this article? None...none at all 😉

I love this detail, and it was the first time I felt compelled to honk the horn multiple times on open/empty sections of courses 😆

Tears for sure. While I have enjoyed various other releases this year, Tears once again found a way to make me excited to explore an in-game world again. While I have made it to the credits, I'm still dipping back in to fill in the depths map and find more outfit pieces, and I'm enjoying every second of it.

@Bobb You are hereby awarded the "best comment on this board" award 🤣
🥇

It's too bad the Wii U bombed like it did, because Nintendo Land and Wii Party U are still among my favorite Nintendo party games, and it would be awesome to see a sequel to either.

Just grabbed Pikmin 2 yesterday 😎

How dare you limit me to three options 😑

@MSaturn If/when it goes on sale, I'd say it's worth a look if you're interested. There's certainly some grind involved, but you'll earn in-game currency for playing any mode, and you'll get a ton just for playing through the story.

I was very happy with this game after I bought it at a discount. Lots to grind for and the online is actually fun! It's just too bad the menu music will make you want to scream.

I'm still playing, but much more sparingly as I have seen the credits, completed a large portion of the shrines and found all but ~5 light roots.

Open world games that are underpopulated/more vacant are why so many of them falter. Tears handled it right in my eyes, and I prefer it to BotW. Both are still stellar games regardless.

This was a neat part of my playthrough as well! I wanted it to be one of my first stops but I got so distracted exploring the rest of Hyrule and the depths that it took me awhile to actually find the Plateau again 😅

@Nanami_Ataraxia It is! It's seriously the closest thing they could make to a "Final Fantasy Pokemon" 😆 With captures, evolutions, and turn based combat!

As a fan of both MH and Pkmn, Monster Hunter Stories 2 gets my vote for sure. The story gets a little exhausting but the battle system and art style are fantastic. If only they bothered to port the first game to Switch!
@DeQuimet Seriously, how did Chocobo Mystery Dungeon get a spot over WoFF?

My gut reaction to them was goat, but they definitely have some lizard-like features too.

This DLC is a lot of fun, in case anyone is curious 😎

Perfect marks from me. It exceeded expectations, improves on BotW in every way, and I'm still addicted to exploring the truly vast world.
