Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Finally Getting DLC

Good: MK8 DLC

Great: Courses from Super to 7 (and Tour)

Awesome: 48 Courses!

Outstanding: Completely free for the Expansion Pack Club. (For those who aren't in the club, it's 25 bucks for all of the waves. Good Deal!)

If there were new battle courses then it would be AMAZING!

Either way, 90% of the global population owns MK8D. A good way to make em come back.

And also probably another way to be a Super Smash Bros style calendar since Ultimate is done.

MK9 can wait.

Re: Metroid Dread Producer Hopes It Showcased "Potential" And Inspires Metroidvania Devs

@noobish_hat I say that there's nothing wrong with being old fashioned and the familiar. To where Bloodstained, Ori, and Hollow Knight, surpass it with the Metroid games in terms of stuffing it with..everything and there's nothing wrong with that. But if you forget it's inspiration, then you risk going overboard. Heck, even on Dread, you can be inspired on how good (or bad) it did its music, combat, etc.

Where's my indie successor to Other M, dang it!

@Scapetti Probably make so either choose whether getting the upgrades is worth the added gameplay difficulty/time. Example (I could continue sneaking around the area avoiding the tougher enemies but I need that missle upgrade though I need to defeat that boss guarding that.)

Good idea.

Re: Nintendo & Panda Unite For "First-Ever" Officially Licensed Smash Bros. Championship Circuit In North America

@PtM
Yeah, having tourneys is a way to keep the Smash going.

(They've gone actively against the community's attempts to grow Melee)

See, that's the surprising part.

They would've EASILY have it as Smash Ultimate only tournament considering the shenegans from Nintendo (no other tourney than ours policy) and how elitest the Melee fanbase can be at times. So some agreement must've gone behind the scenes to have both camps play nice.

So yeah, its a wait n see.

Re: MultiVersus From Warner Bros Is A Free-To-Play Platform Fighter, Skipping Switch

The production values but ugh. Always online, free 2 play.

Interesting how the team aspect is illustrated here. Not just placing another player in your team and just scrap. Bugs bunny digging a hole and having another player go on said hole to make a tactical vantage. The team aspect won't be for everyone's take but it really does provide a bit of a shake up to the smash gameplay.

Re: Video: DreamWorks Animation Artist Releases Pokémon Halloween Short

Captain_Toad

Hmm not bad. Seeing Misdrevious is making me want to play Diamond and Pearl again. The remake because the original is too slow!

But if you're planning the showcasing this as an virtual theme park some suggestions. The action when we get to gengar attack is a bit dull.

Nothing big but try to have try to do a hypnotizing move or tries to eat the car, and the humor is kinda cringe. Kids are smarter than this.

Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?

@EarthboundBenjy
I think I'm near the end of PS1 (SEGA AGES.) since I'm in the Ice world but I have no idea where to go. Hopefully I can finish it.

Ick, I'm already stuck in the first dungeon in PS2 and have no idea where to go. I may have to throw up my hands and get the dungeon guide, I guess.

@Pally356 I've been hearing good things about the story from Game Sack on Youtube. Just need to persevere. So maybe I'll play these two games...

I barely started PS3.

Re: Exclusive: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - Nigel Thornberry Move Set Showcase

Captain_Toad

Nintendo Life getting an NASB exclusive video? Unexpected.

Nick All Star Brawl has been getting pretty rocking praise as of late, from the gameplay videos and PR. These guys only have a small fraction of the Smash Bros Ultimate budget to the point where there's no voice acting (it's possible that VO COULD be added in the future if it does well) and yet they delivered so much fighting game and/or smash bros knowhow with Nicktoons love and wrapped it in tight gameplay.

This is looking like a winner right here.
