Oh yeah, this is happening. If I have time I'll try to download it and play, but honestly? Odds are I'll just make some more headway on Age of Imprisonment instead.
@JohnnyMind Ah, fair enough! Once you get caught up, BOTLO for Splatoon Raiders - that one's already shaping up to be amazing (yes, I am indoctrinating you into our fandom before you've even played a game lol)!
So hyped! I got to work just after this was announced, and my coworker came sprinting over to me and went "DID YOU HEAR?" And the best part is, I knew just what he meant! Always nice to have friends like that lol.
I read a few of those bullet points, and they are nice improvements, but BOY was I worried for a minute that there wouldn't be any stability changes! Luckily, it was there at the very end! Phew!
I am loving it so far! The gameplay is fun moment-to-moment, and the cutscenes are solid! It's expanding upon TotK's story greatly, and I am excited to finish it out!I have it a 9, which is 1000% due to recency bias, but whatever. 😂
@N00BiSH ah, I only saw the one where you said you didn't care for Banaza's voice acting. I honestly just skim over the comments, so I missed your second one lol.
@N00BiSH interesting... I felt like Pauline was great in Bananza! There were one or two awkward lines, but given that there are (probably) around 500 or so lines, that's not bad at all!
Everyone has done a great job! Even some of the clunkier lines are still delivered pretty, well, and I love seeing how excited the VAs are to be a part of this game! It's super fun thus far. My only problem is that every time Sonia speaks, all I can hear is Hekla! 😂
Normally I am on the closing shift at work, but tomorrow I am getting off early for the first time in months - it lined up so perfectly! Can't wait to dive in!
Lucky Launch was my favorite minigame for a long time and I don't know why lol! Glad to see it get some love here. I actually thought of Vampire Survivors when I read the headline, thanks to having just recently gotten it - I have yet to get the big show mentioned here, but I have unlocked a few characters, and those come with their own explosive light shows
I'm a Splatoon fan, of course I love the fashion in games! Seriously, I pick a fit, then use chunks to make it work. Animal Crossing? I spend an hour in the Able Sisters' shop! And let's not even mention Tears of the Kingdom - suffice it to say Link uses heat resistant elixirs, because he is not going to be seen in that gawdy Flamebreaker set! And Palia? If the team goes bankrupt, it won't be my fault! I might not have PLZA, but if I ever do pick it up, this is what I will be doing all day long!
It's always a delight to see that Kate has written something up for us NLifers - this is no exception! I think someone should gift the King a 3DS - after, they made a golden Wii for the Queen!
This game looks great, even if it's not for me. The customization options are very cool though, that's the one thing that makes me want to possibly pick this one up lol. But... 70 bucks for me to kick around decorating vehicles I have no plans to use is probably unwise lol!
@Waluigi451 "run through the city smashing crystals" I have yet to play this, but if that's anything like smashing pots in Zelda, it's gotta be a great game! XD
It's clearly a well-made game, don't get me wrong (I mean, Sakurai is behind it, ofc it's good lol), but other than the visual aspect, this is not grabbing my interest at all. I genuinely cannot see what has everyone do excited.
I doubt I will watch live... And unless something INSANE is announced, I doubt I'll be picking this up. It's polished, don't get me wrong, but it really doesn't look that fun to me. Not sure why, it just doesn't have the right "feel" I guess.
@RuiPedro (Star Letter) I definitely see more double packs coming in the future. I've never been one to promote "TP+WW" but I have been hoping for an Oracle of Ages/Seasons set for a long while now!
Not a Pokemon guy myself, but in general I feel like Any Game with 3D Animated Cutscenes that Involve Dialogue (TM) should have at least a little "Gu-ah-h," "OK!" "Oh-h..." etc. noise to convey the feeling of the scene. It's really jarring without that lol

Re: Kirby Air Riders Global Test Ride Times - When Is The Online Demo Happening?

Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
It's a tad uncanny, but if we all got used to the first movie's character designs, we can get used to this one's.

Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update
@Nick2054 Definitely odd, but I'll take that over them locking everything behind the S2E!
