@NotASockPuppet legitimate question here, do you collect Switch games? I have met plenty of retro collectors, I suppose I never thought about folks collection current-gen stuff, too!
@Mommar sounds like my relationship with Wind Waker lol! Can't stand the game at all. Guess it's just proof there's no "one size fits all" in anything.
Only read the score, glad to hear it's a 10/10 for you, Alana! I will be sure to return once I beat it and give my thoughts (who knows how many years that might take, though! )
All right, all right, I'll buy Undertale. Sheesh. (In all seriousness, I've been meaning to, I just always forget. 10th anniversary is as good a time as any, right?)
@N00BiSH I think we must be opposites - all the other changes bugged you but not me, and vice versa here! 🤣 We are doomed to disagree. I do second you point as to being confused on the "reasoning." Why did this one swap? It makes no sense - especially since, iirc, the MPJamboree S2E had the old VA.
@NintendoWife @thenikdavies @NFrealinkling (and @others-who-are-saying-they-wantwd-single-player-content) it seems that there will be new levels/story, as well. The "main" draw is the entirely new mini games, but there are more levels coming as well - and Koopaling boss fights!!
@N00BiSH I shoulda known you'd mention that 😂 But actually, I noticed two. It is so jarring. I didn't mind for Mario because, yes, Charles was iconic in the role, but Mario didn't say much more than "Whaoo!" Same with his cohorts - so their voice changes can be ignored. But the Talking Flower literally is named after his voice. It's super odd to me hearing a different voice - makes me wonder what happened.
Yoshi looks typically adorable, but also (as per the norm) far too slow and plodding for me. The stopmotion animation style is very cute, nonetheless. I never bothered with Galaxy 2, but having both games available on the go sounds like a dream, so I will certainly grab them! I am very excited for the Koopalings' grand return! The Wonder S2E looks very fun. The tennis game looks, at the very least, as though it won't be a horrible game at launch - plenty of content, even if it's not my jam. I for one am excited for the Mario Galaxy Movie! More sadistic Luma, please. No 3D Mario is the best part of this Direct - I know that's dumb, but I didn't want one yet. No Luigi's Mansion 4 was a surprise though, even if I am nonplussed about it.
I'm buying anyway lol, maybe I shouldn't support greedy practices, but what can I say, I'm a fanboy who will do anything appease my corporate overlords.
I highly doubt we are getting DS games on NSO. The only possibility I see is DS on the base tier and 3DS on the Expansion Pass. But again, that's not happening, imo.
@AussieMcBucket you know what they say: Why use 3 words when 74 paragraphs will do? That's not it exactly, but... Eh, I like that version better, anyway!
@AussieMcBucket I usually see /s as serious, and /sar as sarcastic.... Well, I suppose that right there is proof that even a tone indicator won't always convey the intended tone!
@hisownsidekick @AussieMcBucket I suppose that's why "tone tags" are so popular - they help convey the intention slightly better, even if it can't match the precision of speaking in-persin and using verbal inflection. Also, I meant to mention this previously: I have always pronounced "err" like "air," but it's interesting to hear that it started out differently!
You know technically it's pronunciation rhymes with "fur?"
I really wish this site had an easy quoting option. The way the comments are laid out is pretty lousy.
It's a hassle, but there is a way to do it! Put [quote]
around what you would like to quote, and end it off with the same, but with a slash.

Surprised there was nothing about Games On Sale, since 99.9999972549% of my purchases are on sale.... Yes, that's totally a number that I did the math on....
Value is definitely subjective, but SS having such a low price point did actually affect my opinion on other things. Glad to see NLife bring it up! It's hard to figure out how much something should cost so that it is worth it for the buyer and the seller!
@Zeebor15 how is that religious? I can see the principle of it, but I truly don't see how that is related to religion (I am rather dense, though, so who knows lol)
@Ryu_Niiyama oh, we've played it on NSO, too! She just liked the look of this (which is hilarious because of her usual reaction to games) and anytime she and I can play together is a good time.
My mom played GoldenEye 007 with her brother on their N64 as a kid. She could beat him, and she still brags about that. Even though she doesn't game a ton with us, she showed some interest in this - so I might snag it to play with her! ☺️
@Kyloctopus @Croctopus I keep mixing you two up because of the usernames lol! Moreso since Croc is no longer DevN haha - at least the PFP is the same. @Ellie-Moo glad I could be of service! @AccessibleDaydream yay, glad you felt able to play again, even if it's not at a competitive level.
@Ellie-Moo it's still a super fun game! Obviously, if you haven't played in a while, you'll have to "catch up" to everyone else in terms of skill, but I'm sure you'll get back into the groove pretty quickly.
I am still working through the OG (trying to try spoiler free, so don't tell me about anything past theantis Lords, please), but I am getting Silksong on DAY 1, BAYBEE! I cannot wait!!

Re: New Kirby amiibo Will Apparently Be Nintendo's "Most Expensive amiibo Ever"
As cute as they are, 50 bucks for SwapForce amiibo of a game that I have no interest in is a bit too much for me. Hard pass, sorry.

The new mode is pretty fun! I like being able to go to DK Isle. Hopefully we get a crossover with MKWorld soon, though!

@AussieMcBucket tone tags are when you end off a sentence or paragraph with / followed by an indication of the "tone" you wish to convey. For example:

Re: Round Up: Pour One Out For These 6 Brave Games Launching On 'Silksong Day'
@Zeebor15 genuine question here, what religious reasons lead you to hate HK (and, by extension, Silksong)?
