@Aaron00 I played Red, then got back in at Soul Silver. Played Pearl, Black, Omega Ruby, Y, Sun. Every one of them I was super into, and then fell off again. I'd like to try again but the latest games don't interest me
@SirMiki They should have allowed any character to be an invincible mode, and still got the power ups. My 4 year old wants to be Peach but can't handle the stress. She also feels left out cause she can't be an elephant like Mom and Dad
I have my original disc, but it's so scratched that it won't load past the intro. Then I tried emulating it, and got a corrupted file that freezes during the train chapter. So this has me very excited
I agree, it's actually pretty tough to watch the whole thing. Usually it's a lot of filler with some fun announcements sprinkled in, so it's easier for me to check in an hour after it airs and see the articles about the big announcements
I think they drop the numbering, next one is just called Mario Kart. I could see it including a lot of non Mario cast members, like MK8 did after a while with Link and the Animal Crossing characters.
I also would love to see a return to the Double Dash!! formula, two drivers per cart and special items for each driver
Bravely Default 2 was so good, but I got stuck at a part long time ago and never went back. I should restart, and follow an optimization guide. I really enjoyed the combat, music and classes.
The story was a bit odd, did Seth ever find his way to his home? They dropped that story beat so fast
Tropical Freeze and Returns were fun, but don't even come close to DKC2. That game was top tier platformer. SMW and Yoshi's Island are also better than TF and Returns, in my opinion
Mario's voice has always been a bit annoying. I would have preferred to turn the "woo! Woo! WAHOO!"s down and listen to the music instead. So retiring Charles and getting some new blood doesn't bother me in the least
I wasn't a fan of BoTW, at all. It didn't feel like a Zelda game to me, made me miss the OoT style. ToTK was better, and for a while I enjoyed it. But it didn't hold my interest for long. I beat the elemental temples (I think I was still on the thunder one), got a few tears/memories, some armor upgrades... And my interest fizzled out. Moved on to Fire Emblem Engage and had a blast with that, and don't see myself coming back to ToTK any time soon.
It isn't news. If it was news, it would be under the "news" banner. This is filed under "random", as it's a random Nintendo related story. You guys sure do love to complain
I have a case that looks like a Gameboy for my Switch games, my DS and 3DS are in a tin from a date many years ago. GCN games are in a small cloth case, and everything else is gone with the wind. Sold in yard sales most likely
I really enjoyed playing Dread, but couldn't finish a second playthrough. I wish the music was better and the Emmi sections weren't so tedious. But that's just my opinion, the game is extremely polished and the different sectors are gorgeous
I recently realized that I've moved on from Pokemon. The last few generations didn't interest me, if I want my pokemon fix I'll play Red, Pearl, Y or Sun. The new games just don't interest me anymore
I'm still at it with Fire Emblem Engage. I'm surprised by how much I've enjoyed it. Well, combat anyway. I skip most cut scenes, and play on the mode where fallen allies come back. But getting my core team to an elite level with most of them carrying emblem rings now has been a blast
As a teen, that was the saddest videogame moment for me. I was really into the story and especially those characters, so when that happened it was heart wrenching
DKC, and then Golden Sun. DKC2 is still my favorite game, I'd love to see them match that. It wasn't extremely difficult, but had a nice balance of collecting and completing
Donkey Kong Country 2, Mario Odyssey, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Metroid Fusion, Pokemon Red, Zelda Twilight Princess, Zelda Wind Waker, Zelda OoT3D, and Fire Emblem Awakening.
@nmanifold My hope is it'll be Double Dash!! 2. Lots of ways to shake things up with new characters, courses, and combos. Plus special items were so fun
There's definitely room for Nintendo games in VR, but I don't see Meta being the ticket. Switch 2 should have AR/VR. Metroid Prime 4 in native VR? I'd dig it
Got burnt out on ToTK, so now I'm giving Fire Emblem Engage a try. It's a lot of fun! I'm not very far into it, but the rings and combat are really fun

@GalaxicGlobe
Different artist, but GameChops also has Zelda & Chill 1-3 by Mikel, all albums are fantastic. I think it's him who also did Pokemon & Chill.
I've also really been enjoying Hotline Sewhani and A-Bug's Donkey Kong Country songs

I love that ugly suit. The wheelie shoulders, the brown coloring, it all looked so ridiculous but I loved it. Also the light suit was sick

These would alternate order repeatedly

Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Gets A Welcome Boost As Zelda Retains Its Crown
@glaemay
Strongly disagree. Dread was fun, but Prime takes gold. Music, beams, suits, visors (dread obviously had none) and locations are all better in Prime.
Dread was fun but had forgettable locations, Emmie's were repetitive, music wasn't anything to write home about
