I just hope these people don't expect a metacritic review to be what convinces Nintendo to change lol. I love the game so far, but apparently a vocal group doesn't. (Saying "group" because I really can't tell if it is the majority or the minority lol, they're just really loud)
@Solomon_Rambling never played it but from what I have seen, Cult of the Lamb might fit the bill for a cosy Roguelike so Id say your guess about a cosy horror game is possible--going back to my analogy, just like animation doesnt have to be for kids, cosy games arent exclusively "cute" either! I must say, this discussion has been a lovely online interaction, which is sadly becoming a rarity... Thank you!
@ozwally @Solomon_Rambling @dugan also true! I suppose “cosy game” is like “animation” in that ppl try to use it as a genre, when really it’s a style. For example, Into the Spiderverse is an animated Action movie, Tangled is an animated RomCom, etc; meanwhile, Animal Crossing is a cosy Life Sim, and there are also cosy Rhythm games, cosy Platformers… They’re all different, but are seen a certain way!
@dugan @Solomon_Rambling good question! I was obsessed with ACNL as a 13yo but when I bought ACNH at 16 I was bored instantly; I havent touched it in ages. Meanwhile, I cant put Palia down! That could really be an interesting Talking Point or evem a Feature--at the very least, a Poll!
@JohnnyMind I've gotta say, I always enjoy reading your comments. I know it's unrelated to the game/article, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate that you always articulate your thoughts and even when you disagree with/dislike something, you are respectful and fairly positive about it!
This generation of games has produced some of the most disappointing sequels to some of favorite games:
Sports Story
Mario + Rabbids 2
Switch Sports
Blossom Tales 2
Tears of the Kingdom
That could be a great article start. Most disappointing sequels to great games.
Never played a Sports Story game, nor Blossom Tales, but by golly do I disagree with the rest. Sparks of Hope was a lovely game that I vastly preferred to the OG. TotK was just "better BotW" in my opinion: it didn't do much new, but was so much better that I can't go back. And while I love Wii Sports/Resort, Switch Sports is genuinely one of my favorite Switch games. I know people dislike the Sportsmates, but I loved their designs! And the gameplay was still super fun. I still hope for a Switch 2 Edition with Foosball, Pool, etc. added!!
Looks like I'll have to find time to upload a few shots for you lovely folks to peruse, but in the meantime, wonderful work to all of NLife (writers and readers) on the pics in this comment section! Bravo!!
As a (failed) MKWii speedrunner (wannabe) I love this so much lol! People are doing awesome stuff in World already, and I can't wait to see what everyone cooks up with Relap!
@Spider-Kev I can see your point about it not being worth $80, but it is well worth $50 to me!! Super fun and Knockout Tour alone is one of the most enjoyable things ever! 😊
I did the same for a few minutes following the one that drags three coins behind it. They respawn quickly so it was not tough and might even be slower. Obviously it was super boring though so I will go ahead and just play normally!
As a Big Swig main since it dropped, another chance at a good kit is exhilarating! Shoutout to my Dread Wringer stans, too--y'all have been waiting for a good kit for a fair bit now, as well!
I was trying to pick three and thought, "Oh, I will just narrow it down...." Only to realize I don't even have a least favorite! I just love them all!!
@TownDarling As someone who adores the Deaf community and wants to learn ASL to begin interpreting, this wouldn't be coddling. Not only is this feature useful for many people who aren't Deaf, it isn't coddling to censor things.
Obviously the answer to the first question is that skin and muscle are just parasitic species that overtake the skeletal structure of Mario characters until their demise.
To my fellow fans who could not get ahold of a preorder, best of luck! I wish you the best! ...Except actually I don't. I wish you the second best, PLEASE LET ME GET ONE ON LAUNCHHHHHHH. Seriously, after myself, I really do want everyone to get one.
Patiently waiting for Nintendo or Singularity6 to give an update on whether Palia will be getting a patch or just a Switch 2 version. Apparently the devs did not know that there was a compatibility issue until we (the fans that is) asked them about it in their Discord lol! I cannot wait to see the new graphics
Well, everyone, fingers crossed that I and my fellow Americans can get our hands on one!! I can't decide if I should try to get in the GameStop or the Walmart in my area.... @fishys what's your plan?
I honestly don’t care for 8/DX but they are still fun. I mostly pull them out when we want to do something with custom items; the rest of the time we stick to Wii. That said, while I (stupidly) sold my 2DS a few years back, 7 is still a fond memory for me! So many of its tracks were amazing— especially its rendition of Rainbow Road, which is both fun to race on, pretty to look at, and (soundtrackwise) my favorite!
Quite like the new looks, except for the weird fleshy line on Diddy's eyes. That feels "off" somehow. But I doubt I will notice it in actual gameplay. ☺️
Sure it is crazy that ppl figured this out…. But me personally, I just want to know who figured out how to make mayonnaise. Seriously, that is even crazier!!
I am still hoping I will be able to snag one, whether that is though Registering Interest or in-person on launch day. Of my friends, only one managed to get and keep a preorder.
Very handy! I only ever read the Palma and Splatoon articles but am bombarded with Speedstorms, Minecraft, Animal Crossing, etc. news from my siblings’ accounts lol
I didn't believe the rumors that he was being removed, but I was eagerly awaiting the redesign and... I see the differences, but if I hadn't been told "Here is a new look for Diddy Kong!" I wouldn't have noticed, honestly. I really like DK's new look (growing up I always thought DK was gross for some reason so I was ecstatic for a new look haha!) but this is such a nothing change that it doesn't sway my opinion at all honestly.
