Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting

Chibi_Manny

Unfortunate for all the peeps complaining about the prices but this is the new standard and they aren't going to back down on it. Making games in todays age has gotten very expensive so naturally this was bound to happen. If you still want good high quality games then this is the price we gotta pay to get them. Nintendo has entered the 4KHD 120fps world and so this is the price we must pay in exchange. Any sales (if any since Nintendo rarely does them) will not be that much lower in price, and most likely any retailers taking in trade-ins will still be reselling the games at a higher price as well as anyone reselling their copies online on Amazon or eBay.
Consider this, if you wanna buy a game now and then save money for another game later, just take part of that second game's money to buy the first game. Better get used to saving and spending larger amounts of money cause this is a permanent change.

Re: Opinion: We Need More Couch Co-op RPGs

Chibi_Manny

I remember playing Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga on my GameCube's Game Boy Player. A second player can use the second controller to control Luigi so getting to co-op the battles was so much fun! Is to bad that is no longer possible with NSO GBA since player two just loads up their own separate GBA screen instead of having the option to screenshare like with the NES/SNES/N64 NSO apps.
(Well online is not possible, but I haven't tried local so maybe it can still be played co-op?)

Re: Banjo-Kazooie Composer Has "Zero Hope" For A New Entry

Chibi_Manny

I will admit, I 100% agree with what Grant Kirkhope said. Die hard fans will have their expectations unrealistically high due to todays standards. They been spoiled by modern day graphics, smoother FPS, and processing power, All while being heavily clouded by nostalgia. There may never be a way to please them with a new entry in this day and age. But even so, there is still a chance, there is still a window of opportunity to actually pull it off and give the series a good sequel, but is a bit of a stretch at this point unless the team creating it knows full well what they are doing and how to do it properly. My hopes is that we may someday get a new game, but my expectations is that we probably never will get a new game.

Re: New Mario Kart 9 Teased For Switch 2

Chibi_Manny

I find it hilarious how people flat out refuse to accept that Mario Kart Tour could actual be THE Mario Kart 9 and that this next one could possibly be Mario Kart 10.
You gotta admit though, Mario Kart X is actually a pretty cool new name for this entry.

Re: Random: Oops! It Looks Like Banjo-Tooie's Idle Demo Is Sped Up On NSO

Chibi_Manny

Games in the N64 NSO run at faster frames than the original, this is also the reason why some games like Pilotwings and Mario Party have become more difficult to play during the games that require button mashing or frame perfect input due to the input window being a lot shorter than in the original hardware. I believe there was a NL article that talked about that when Pilotwings first released on NSO.

Have you tried Mario Kart 64 in NSO with 3 or 4 player versus? Is like going 200cc from how crazy fast it goes.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mario Party Advance

Chibi_Manny

I'm sorry but Princess Peach just looks so much cuter in the NA version. She looks cute in the JP version holding the map and looking all chill but in the NA version she looks like an idol with that adorable wink flaunting her feminine charm. That is what sold it to me.

(She's my #1 waifu)

Re: Pokémon Unite Ending Service In Select European Markets Next Year

Chibi_Manny

If the issue is the gatcha/loot boxes, then I don't think Pokémon Unite will be the only ones that will be doing this, there are a lot of other big names with this mechanic which means they may be leaving from those countries soon too.
Overwatch, Valorant, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Fortnite, Party Animals, My Hero Ultra Rumble, Zenless Zone Zero, and that is just to name a few.
Is possible Nintendo may also end services for their other mobile games too in those countries, like Mario Kart Tour, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, and Fire Emblem Heroes. Even SEGA mobile Sonic games could go away too. This whole cracking down on gatcha and loot boxes will have a ripple effect.

Re: A Bunch Of Classic Mario Party Minigames Are Seemingly Returning In Jamboree

Chibi_Manny

Holy cow! Those platforms are HUGE!! And those gaps are so tiny... this ain't no platform peril, this more like Platform Safely at this point. lol

Back in my day... the platforms were way smaller and gaps were bigger, and they probably fell down faster too.
Untitled

They even remade the same mini-game with harder difficulty in the sequel, to bad they never bring that version back...
Untitled

They don't make Platform Peril the way they used to anymore...👴

Re: Crash Team Rumble Was Reportedly In Development For Switch But Got Cancelled

Chibi_Manny

It was very stupid of them to not release it on Switch simultaneously with the other platform versions, literally almost EVERYONE has a Switch.

As for canceling Crash 5 due to Crash 4 sales not meeting expectations, is obvious they are aiming to high, they are expecting far to much from Crash Bandicoot, they need to dial it down or they'll keep setting themselves up for failure.

Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp To End Online Service In November

Chibi_Manny

I hope this means they will consider doing the same for all their other mobile games when they decide to shut those down too such as Mario Kart Tour & Fire Emblem Heroes.

Super Mario Run is already a one time purchase but cannot be played without an internet connection of sort which is very annoying sometimes, meaning that it would also benefit from an offline version if they ever decide to stop supporting that game too.

Perhaps they could even bring back some of the other ones that got previously shut down like Dr. Mario World, Dragalia Lost, and Pokémon Rumble Rush.

As much as I love Miitomo, there isn't much you can do with an offline version of it so that game is definitely never coming back...
