@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
@Sonicka fair, I mainly selected DKB due to it also being a high-profile DLC for a major recent game. Mileage will vary, but I do think it is a high-quality DLC, while (as I said) SRCW's DLC offerings feel incredibly random, aimed towards the largest audience possible without appealing to anyone in particular. But again, that's just me
Am I the only one who is put off by this DLC? A lot of games have "scummy" DLC, but at least it's a worthwhile addition - see DKBananza. This just feels very mobile-game-esque, maybe since it's just so incredibly disconnected from the rest of the game?
It's was super cute! Yeah, the animation wasn't groundbreaking, but it was still super sweet - reminded me of the old Pixar shorts that would play before a movie! I'm down to see more of what they cook up, the quality was high and it incorporated the IP nicely. I'd love to see some Zelda animations too!
@ShieldHero unfortunately, this probably isn't going to be a "cheaper alternative" so much as a derivative ripoff that fails to do anything but make money off of people who think they are buying an official product.
I only just recently got this on my phone, and yeah, I see why people love it. My brothers and I love it! (....mostly them for sure.... 😉) We are on the third stage, so far.
In my opinion, it's for a Pikmin 4 S2E. Never played the series, much to the chagrin of blue monsters and giant crabs everywhere, but if they do a S2E I will buy it.

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!
Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update
Man, all the comments are "0 seconds ago" lol, clearly we are all hyped! I am mostly excited for a LEGO brick-themed island!

Re: Kirby Air Riders 'Global Test Ride' Demo Kicks Off Next Month
I have yet to watch the second Direct, but while the first did nothing to get me excited for the game... I won't turn down a free demo! 😆

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Topped The Best-Selling Switch Games... In September?
And it's well-deserved! They hold up beautifully, and my only gripe is that we still don't have a treequel!
Re: Sakurai Reveals Even More Kirby Air Riders Footage Ahead Of Tomorrow's Direct
@N00BiSH fair enough! I guess I'm just not the target audience for this one, which is fine by me - one less thing to empty my wallet for XD

Re: Splatterbot
Super fun so far! The creator has announced he is working on new modes and colors as well, so we'll see where that leads.

Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
