@KingdomTears "happy 70th bday to zelda/ mario creator Miyamoto" would have been fine.

I've had this crappy theory a while, but I think Nintendo is not selling their old SNES n n64 titles individually because why would anyone buy a console after a switch if so? Ppl would have every game they'd ever wanna play at any time/on the go, theres no incentive unless you just want (or rather need) a more powerful switch in the future and thirsting for new games. But not everyone's like that (think more casual gamers), so for that the switch has the "on the go" tax (i.e. subscription) for these titles

@sixrings agree with all that and see how that is a step back for a lot of people. Stepping outside my gamer self, only 2 of the 5 games I do online are nintendo games and are the least I play (probably says something). The messaging and voice chat would seem like a given for the price, but who knows, corporations gonna corporate? A shame

I dont think you're old n cranky, leave that to me.

@sixrings sure I believe you and not arguing. I feel bad for those who arent having a good time with it or have crappy connection issues, 20 bucks would probably feel silly to throw away. I guess I wanted to stress that not everyone is feeling the "ripoff" vibes

@MS7000 i pumped a couple thousand hrs between 5 online games, plus nes/SNES on deck. I know, "should just be free" but it ain't. Just don't feel too vexed when some ppl get their moneys worth. I could blow $20 in an arcade much quicker (if they were around )

@Jef this guy does fantastic piano covers of f zero and many more, cool if you're into it

Maybe New Pork Bossa from mother 3. The whole build up in the empire pork building was great. But theres countless others from this and other games that do the trick

"Splatoon 3 has been out for a few weeks now..."

Maybe for the lucky folks at NL us mortals are wrapping up our 2nd week

(Not so) hard pass. Its crazy how Octo 1 had awesome battle system, graphics, music but the writing and character development were so bad. Stories and premise are fine, but when every character is this chippy caricature and all characters go through the same arc (you could time it, honestly), the map for this adventure suddenly became instructions on a packet of mac n cheese.

@Clyde_Radcliffe my guess is its the switch tax, like the reason it's full price is you get it portable now, rendering it a new experience. Just my guess (or hey let's get another 20 bones out of ppl, that too haha)

Lovin it. Half off topic but I think anyone complaining about Splatoon 3 not having enough content after 5 years should look at the History tab on this SF site, that run from 91-99 across multiple consoles is amazing. And I still play every single of em

@Moistnado oh nice I didn't know you could already play splatoon 3 front to back to determine that, my bad

@Moistnado splatoon 2 and splatoon 3 are in fact both part of the splatoon franchise so good observation.

@Franklin OK thank you for the information.

Wish they sold the joycons separately from that OLED set, me likes.

@Burning_Spear I personally think the entire subscription service is in place so that people don't stock up on every single title for switch and not have enough reason to buy their new console whenever that's released.

I thought this was in jest but I can't believe people are seriously outraged about this

My problem was playing mother 3 before earthbound. I think every aspect of M3 was better than EB - the comedy, pacing especially, bond with characters, story, and a million things more - that I only had admiration for EB when I played it recently and nothing more. Glad it's out the backlog but don't think I'll return to it ever

@HenHiro okay sure. I think I just respectfully disagree with you then, but I get what you're saying. Hopefully splat3 is a pleasant surprise of new treasures in the end for any player

@HenHiro I think your last sentence is where ppl are saying your argument falls apart. Every 5 years vs 1 year doesnt make it comparable to Fifa in the sense of well Ninty isnt chugging this out year by year. If you bought 5 years worth of fifa that's what 300 bucks? Vs 2 splatoons at 120. Whether it's a true sequel (really having a hard time how you're defining it) is almost separate at that point

@HenHiro hard to say, so I cant argue there but the motorcycle stage for Contra 3 is worth the admission price alone, my sweet mother did my family a favor bringing that into our lives

@HenHiro ha yeah that was mom n pop's money way back when. In terms of comparing eras, my comparison isnt fair because nowadays with DLC and such it's not the same structure obviously. I just mean a lot of ppl (me ) might not hold too high a standard on explosive differences in games that offer the amount of content Splat does. All 2d zelda/castlevania games are the same to me, just a couple new gimmicks/weapons and revamped graphics. So definitely not dissing your thought, but I myself dont care and will get my moneys worth from this

@HenHiro is Contra comparable too? Those were basically all the same and I play/ed them all to death.

@JasmineDragon yeah it's strange. Curious if the same logic applied for fitness boxing 2 when they added new trainers, songs and backgrounds but didnt include a basketball mode

@Moistnado hey that's great thanks for sharing

@NinChocolate even zelda had link to past, links awakening, awakeningdx, oracles ages, seasons, and minish cap in a short period of time. Granted they had major leaps in their 3d titles during that same period, but any of the above to me are just the same with new gimmicks/weapons, which I feel splat 3 will be? I'm probably way off

@NinChocolate it is strange to me how ppl are kinda putting this one down and saying "just make it a dlc." I dont have too hard an opinion on it and cant force anyone to be excited about the game, but just not sure what they expect. Franchises pump out the same crud all the time at a more frequent rate. Cant put my finger on it

I finished Earthbound yesterday! I'll have to give the strategy guide a lookthru now

Not sure I'll get it soon with my backlog, but great review and hope everyone has fun with it!

Short or long, challenging or not, I just want it to be fun. The demo didnt knock me out my boots but I'll def be waiting for NLs review to see if there's any magic in it. Fingers crossed!

Call me old fashion but what are these guys talking about? Original mario kart had like 8 characters and I played it endlessly. I honestly don't even understand half the jargon they're mentioning. Less is more for me, and wont be getting this anytime soon

@swoose if anything, I at least want to hear Daigo speak because he is humble and can spit some deep thoughts on gaming. Hbox is just annoying, it's almost embarrassing agreeing with him cause of how he handles himself. But his skills are top notch

Does anyone know if the japanese arcade versions of titles in the new bundle are easier than their western counterparts? I bought the SF japan version which is lightyears easier than the western, but just curious. I'll be getting this no matter what

@semolous what exactly did Nintendo do here? They sent him to jail?

@ParadoxFawkes I don't disagree with you but it's not up to you to decide right/wrong here when it comes to someone laying down the law. Nintendo isnt obligated to do anything no matter what we think they 'should' do

@CharlieGirl "rage against the machine yeah dawg" "corporations boo occupy Nintendo" like honestly I dont even get where your argument is. Guy commits a crime (and whether you agree with it being a crime is irrelevant) and goes to jail for it. Happens all the time. I personally know someone who cheated a nice oil and gas company he worked for and did time, but I guess I should be against the boogeyman corporation in that case? I mean just a few hundred thousand dollars they can make up in minutes, so he should walk? Anyone (including you) buying a nintendo product is putting money into their lawyers pockets so that they can do EXACTLY this, and yet you somehow think theres some disconnect or are playing dumb to the fact that Nintendo cant be responsible for stuff they dont make. What if Nintendo gave this guy the OK to make these but on the side he was making other like offensive porno or something? think nintendo wants to be associated, or take the chance to be responsible when sh*t hits the fan for him? No, therefore they do this, which is in their rights. But no "ooo yuck CEO board meetings booo".

@Alztru I put in 850+ hours online with the 20th anniversary collection and it's a shame how the shoddiness took away from the experience at times. Obviously I had plenty of good times with it but I also had no signs of stopping. I agree the lobbies would prob be brimming if the overall connection was better, it's basically why I dont go on it anymore. I even tanked my Sf2 turbo ranking (which idgaf about anyway) from disconnecting out of crap connections. Overall positive experience from me but i feel ya

@shoeses makes no sense but sure

@somnambulance these are 10 best games released on switch in 2021. Zelda and mario 3d were released on switch in 2021, so yeah they're eligible

@Bolt_Strike i understand you, although I myself am excited and hope there are some huge upgrades we haven't seen yet. But if there aren't and this is an overglorified dlc it'll probably still widen the splatoon audience much further than a DLC on a 5 year old game goes especially with kids (I'm thinking of some of the e game tourneys my teacher friends hold). Regardless, big $ for the big N

Was 6 turning 7 on my first of a million playthroughs back in '95, was mindblowing at the time (its ff3 with time travel!). Couldn't say it's the best or my fave because its kinda just ingrained in me and not sure I'd play again, but definitely a special game to me, gonna watch this later

@Jamesonn why? For both the DLC and thank you?

@Silly_G wow that's a brilliant idea for a game actually haha

I had a blast with the photo mode in Mario 3D World and snapped some ones I really like. My first playthrough time was obscene because of it

@glaemay interesting point

In case ppl wonder why they dont heavily discount aaa titles after some time, this prob has to do with it

@Kiyata if I was given 70 dollars and rented dozens of video games for a year, that's considered expensive?

@Snatcher it's not "like" "actually" a ripoff but okay

@ModdedInkling yt removing it was in the works before all that so don't see the point in "wanting to believe" that
