Re: Here's The Debut Trailer For Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway

Captain_Toad

I think it was more of a leak than a reveal. And I'm worried how it's going to fare as it's "announcement" is being so close to October, Whichever the case, Nick kart 2 made a marked improvement over the abysmal 1st one. So let's see how it fares. And with voice acting out ta gate, This'll fly off of selves.

@Sahnec Voice acting has been patched in Nick All Star Brawl a while ago.

Re: Review: Pac-Man World Re-Pac - Perfectly Passable PS1 Platforming

Captain_Toad

Yep, this score sounds about right from what I've played and completed, though I would've ticked it to a .5 if it exists. Though nothing amazing, they've done a well done job with this remake of world 1. Also since you restored Krome Keeper concept boss, can you do the same and restore the blimp enemy as a boss in world 2. I don't wanna fight 3 ghost machine bosses in a row.

Re: Hands On: Splatoon 3 Brings New Ideas, But Nothing Revolutionary

Captain_Toad

Yes, the changes here are incremental. But by golly, these changes make all of the difference.

No more waiting for Salmon run. The sisters announcements can be in the background. More freedom on spawn points. And save data transfer, that got me to pre-order the game.

Though a Splatoon battle Royale would be nice...

Re: Poll: What’s Your Favourite New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC Track In Wave 2?

Captain_Toad

3rd. Sydney Sprint. 2nd lap marathon.
2nd: Kalahari Desert. Music with the wild west horns and going inside the tunnel with the train in the second and last lap.
1st. Snow Land. Music, penguins, no more Camera shake, penguins, tricky course to handle but with the right handling you'll have fun. And of course, the toads are dressed for the occasion! Took the worst course to the best course.

Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 2 - Harmless Fun, But More "B-Side Filler"

Captain_Toad

I simply disagree with this review.

Sky-High Sundae: Just as anxiety inducing as the preview suggests. The roads are narrow, curve, and bounce all over the place with this guardrail-less place. That's without accounting the antigravity or the other racers.
Mario Circuit: Getting over the track choice, The asthetic is the only lame part. Why is it set in the middle of nowhere?
Snow Land: Simply Love this course. The favorite of the bunch. Don't fall to the water and get good tires.
New York minute: The cars do look awkward standing in a two way street but a course doesn't always need obstacles to have fun. Wish it was a bit longer...
Sydney Sprint: Love this course.
Mushroom gourge: Tricky mushrooms is tricky. Course looks nice.
Kalahari Desert: More horns and different lap paths. Please Nintendo-Sempai?
Waluigu pinball: The colors, Duke! The Colors!

Overall 7 out of 10 at least.

Minuses
The crowd is still doing that waving thing back from the default game. Dress em up at least. I guess that can't be helped....
Waluigi pinball sound effects haven't been given as prominent as the DS original.
Mario Circuit 3 is set in the middle of nowhere with the NES SMB set they're going for on the outside the course underutilized. Put a castle in here.
Untextured thing here and the but not bad graphics overall.

Re: Pac-Man World Re-PAC Is A Welcome Surprise, Launching This August

Captain_Toad

I haven't played Pac-Man World since I was 7?-10? The pirate world (probaly since I havent gotten far past that world and was playing from another house), Feeling the rumble of the pac-rev (Namco, please get the rumble in this.), seeing pac man in 3d was a scary yet magical experience.

I would've liked the UI to be a bit more minimalistic like the high score, PACMAN letters (KONG from DK Country), and the health icon only appear when it happens. Nethertheless, I will be happily playing this.

On another note. If they're going to remake world 3, please have Ms Pac Man legal mumbo jumbo dealt with and the original dialog back since the writing they did for Pac Man was wonderful.

Re: Smurfs Kart Races Onto Switch This Coming Winter

Captain_Toad

Hopefully better than Smurf Racer for the PS1.

Anyway in case you're wondering. I've played Mission Vinleaf and it's good. It reminds you of the early-mid 2000's licensed 3d platformers (the good kind) mixed with Super Mario Sunshine. Play it if you're the fan of the Smurfs.
