@Grackler Ironically, I love CDs (I have hundreds) and have always liked putting on a certain soundtrack. More options are always appreciated, though! Certainly hope a web version is added eventually, but if not, that's fine.
"At the start of the game 'Tri-Force Heroes', Link reads a notice appealing for heroes to help defeat an evil witch, specifying that such heroes should possess 'side-parted hair', 'truly epic sideburns' and what other feature?"
Pointy ears
Ace fighting skills
Big muscles
A green tunic
Honestly, guys, that’s too easy. No Link has big muscles, and this game has multiple Links in various gear—so that leaves it between ace fighting skills and pointy ears, and only one of those sounds right given the context of “everything thus far in the application is cosmetic, and the game itself has a huge emphasis on it!”
@ShieldHero fun fact, PacMan was originally named PuckMan, but it was changed due to how easily the arcade cabinets could be vandalized to say something elre....
Absolutely hilarious review in the best way, and I will 100% be snagging this! My mom isn't a huge gamer (though I often play DKC and NSMBW with her), but she loves air hockey! It'll be great. Odd that it got "only" a 7 given the lack of Cons, but hey, I'm not picky anyway!
additionally, the SNES app wil be getting a turn once more! GCN is taking a break because I still cant see the fun in Wind Waker, but Mario Paint looks like neat little gem.
I just read the PushSquare review and let me just say, I appreciate Miss Gray's writing so much! Not only is it generally just more grammatically correct, but it's enjoyable! The PS article had an air of "fourth grader" about it, in a bad way; NL was friendly and honest! Thank you!!
I shouldn't hate on a cosy game for the graphics... I mean, I play Palia on Switch. It would be hypocritical. BUT... Every comment above me is doing so, so just read those instead. Not a big LOTR fan, so I am not too bummed, but it is disappointing nonetheless.
I have been meaning to grab this; Mario Maker never really grabbed me the way I thought it would (and it doesn't help that I am bad at platformers anyway haha), but this one intrigues me!
I got spoiled on a character in DKB, so I will be trying to roll credits today so I can at the very least not get spoiled on said individual's role! I am quite enjoying it so far!
I will also play some INK because I love lowering my times by a whole .01 second lol!
Of course, Paliawill be filling its usual slot as a wind-down game for whenever I have a moment.
And then, it's on to Mario Sports Mix with my siblings! It's been a few months, so we figured we'd dust it off.
Instead, these wheels are intended to be used by more casual (and perhaps younger) players who are concerned with having as good a time as possible and not setting the best possible lap times.
I was so confused because I thought that "having as good a time as possible" was referring to lap times... Only for the next line to contradict that! I tend to use a Wii Remote + Nunchuk on MKWii, and two JoyCon 2 with MKWorld, but I will say the Wii Wheel is still very fun!
@TruestoryYep I should clarify, nothing against Peario! I just found it funny. (This from a diehard Monte X Violynne shipper in TotK, even tho they literally never meet lol)
@JohnnyMind Enjoy your vacation, and don't worry, DK will be here when you return! @Axecon Ah, a fellow speedrunner/wannabe/viewer (idk which of the 3 you are haha). I have yet to watch a run, as I want to avaiod spoilers, but that's amazing!
I cant wait! Was TotK's story good? Nope. Did I love it anyway, even after that 3 hour video on it? Yep. Count me in! Maybe this will fix the issues? (CoPiUm TiMe)
@BAN I spent a solid ten second researching DK94 before realizing that was a typo haha! If I might ask, what makes a DK game "feel" like one, in your opinion? Thus far I think Bananza captures the feel very well, as DK makes sense destroying things. Plus, it's fun, so who cares! (I haven't finished it so no spoilers, please!)
Jokes aside, I own Superstars and tho it is fun, Jamboree has never been my/my friends' jam, so to speak. The ones who have it won't be getting the upgrade. Nice to see it has fans, tho!
@AccessibleDaydream I feel like it was a very Ubisoft-exec-thing to say lol. I have little experience with him, so I commented on what I do know about: Star Wars. (I had a phase as a teen)
I wish her the best, but let me be brutally honest.... I would care more if this series had more dialogue than "Oh Yeah!" every few minutes! Makes sense that Nintendo is getting new talent (or, um, a lack thereof, for some...) but IDRC either way.
Currently giving it an 8. I think it is superb thus far, but I am on Sublayer 600 right now and want more challenge. The bosses are fun, but they are over too fast. I like the story and characters well enough (Poppy Kong my beloved), but other than the one mentioned it the parenthetical, none of them are ~amazing~ to me yet. Also, I don't have Assit Mode on, yet the game wants to tell me
[L] (hold) Find Your Way!
[L] (hold) Break the Seal!
[ZR] (hold) Aim and Throw!
And so on. I am 5ish hours into the game, Nintendo, I think I have a handle on the basics! Once I roll the credits I will come back and update the score; whether that be positive or negative remains to be seen (or perhaps it will remain in place!).
No problems for me, but I have yet to play it in a car so we will see how it goes when I do! That said, I have gyro on, and it is not working... Anyone know a fix? It is'nt the controllers, as they work find in Splatoon and TotK, but I am at my wits end!
As a fan of Marvel, Pixar, and Nintendo.... I feel the pain of that first letter! I love my Switch 2, but if I dare say so, I am a corporate sheep.... And soon enough, I "agree" with everyone else.
Never played much in the Mario spinoff lineup (Mario Kart aside, of course), but Mario Sports Mix is still a regular in my family's rotation! Cactaur for Smash 6, amirite?
I can't help trying to find every Banana ASAP! I like that they are physically present, as opposed to Odyssey having Moons that you got by.... staring at the sun for too long? lol
However, he notes that because the remakes don't implement the same control scheme in which the game would measure how long you pressed the jump button, thus adjusting the height of the jump accordingly.
This sentence makes no sense haha. Take out the "because" and it'll be all good though.
EDIT: It has been fixed, and in a different way than I suggested. The beauty of words!
I love that such a large percentage of people felt the need to click a link, sign in, and leave a comment, just so say "WhO eVeN wAnTs ThIs" Like this isn't a Nintendo news website filled with people who very much do want this lol
I can't wait! I know ppl wanted an anime but I am happy with the casting so far! I know ppl are hating on the guys because "he isn't a blonde" but like... All the characters change designs so often, I don't mind!
I wish this guy wrote more often--funny, relatable, and honest. I absolutely cannot wait for DKB, but until that much-anticipated day, I will be doing plenty elsewhere!

Re: Opinion: Can We Stop Comparing Donkey Kong Bananza's Tactile Thrills To Odyssey Now?
@weisske which is which, in your opinion? Personally I don't care for SMO, but I love DKB!

I love the JoyCon, but am considering getting a Pro Controller. Is the 2 better than the 1?
(Also, i didn't even know you could turn on a system with the comtrollers. I always used the console itself, for my Wii, SwOLED, and Switch 2!)

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Bananza?
Currently giving it an 8. I think it is superb thus far, but I am on Sublayer 600 right now and want more challenge. The bosses are fun, but they are over too fast.
