@BenAV Yep, this right here. Sometimes I'll do themed names for a Nuzlocke like rpg classes (Charmander named Paladin, Pikachu named Rogue, Geodude named Barbarian) but that's as far as that creativity goes.
I was already feeling "meh" about this game, but this review was the final nail in the coffin so to speak. Maybe I'll look for it used down the line. Here's hoping Pokemon reviews well at least
Man I wish instead of farm simulator RPGs, SE would expand the Final Fantasy series on Switch. Bring XIII Trilogy to Switch, remake 4 Heroes of Light, give a sequel for that, 2D HD remasters of III, IV, V and VI. I and II Advanced could also be ported. I'd buy any of these
@AstroTheGamosian "The problem becomes, though: what sort of new thing will they do to justify MK9's existence"
I say it's time for Double Dash 2, with new special items and combos. It would be enough of a shakeup that Mario Kart wouldn't feel so stale, and the next (MK10) could be a return to formula as a celebration game
Zombies Ate My Neighbors, a couple levels included in their music a sound that I think was supposed to be "anyone out there?" but it sounded like "om-you-wapwap" to me. And that om-you-wapwap sound could be heard as I drifted off to sleep, scaring me awake
I'd love a new Odyssey with less real world locations. I like the more fantastical locations, not New Donk City. But it might be time to fire Odyssey back up, been a while since I played it
As much as I would love to revisit Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, along with Prime Trilogy, I don't see it happening. But I'd happily be proven wrong!
I love all 3, but we'll see when final evos are announced. I felt that way for SwSh and by final evo time I only liked the grass one. I skipped that one and Legends, maybe this one will drag my 30 year old butt back to the world of pokemon
I wish Voltorb took the form of the ball it is caught in, and gains a new secondary typing for each. Ultra ball gives it dark typing, great is water, etc. That'd be an awesome feature
To each their own! I personally just want a bullet list of things announced, with trailers as links. That way I can browse what I care about and ignore the rest. This mostly pertains to E3
Paper Mario for instance, gets worse with each entry.
And it's so sad, the first 2 (some say 3) were amazing. The most recent was really a decent game, but the combat sucked and I want more variety again. I love enemies as allies, and silly situations involving more than just toads.
I need this Kiwi Talkz fellow to chat with current devs on Prime 4 and let me know what happened, what stage they're at, and how things are shaping up. I wish they were more transparent
Zelda has long been my favorite series, but after BoTW I am not super excited for the next one. All aboard the hype train for the NEXT next one! And Prime 4. That's my most anticipated

Re: Poll: What Was The First Pokémon Game You Played? Nintendo Wants To Know
Red for me, I remember playing it in '98 or'99 under the kitchen table and my Charmander evolving into Charmeleon. It was the craziest thing
Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning New Story Trailer For Fire Emblem Engage
I don't think each Fire Emblem game needs a new gimmick. Nor does Pokemon

Yep, this right here. Sometimes I'll do themed names for a Nuzlocke like rpg classes (Charmander named Paladin, Pikachu named Rogue, Geodude named Barbarian) but that's as far as that creativity goes.
Re: Random: The Pokémon Company Celebrates 'ChooseDay' Ahead Of Scarlet & Violet's Release
Probably wouldn't evolve Fuecoco, disappointed in the leaked final evos and the dumb looking crystal hats.
But the new 'mons, new forms, past and future motifs are all enticing.
Probably not a day one purchase for me, but somewhere down the line I'll nab it
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Overtakes Zelda In Famitsu's Most-Wanted Games List
I'm excited for Zelda, but hopefully it's the last in the BoTW style. Also wouldn't mind a new top down style game
Re: Review: Tactics Ogre: Reborn - A Decent Remaster Of A 16-Bit Strategy Classic
@ItsATM
It's a reviewers opinion. If it doesn't line up with other reviews, that's just a matter of taste. Must we nitpick every review on here?
Re: Soapbox: Paper Mario: Sticker Star Was When The Series Came Unstuck
I considered myself a fan of Paper Mario until I realized I only really liked 2/6 or whatever. So I guess just 64 and TTYD
Re: Random: Metroid Prime Devs Kept A GameCube In The Freezer To Run Patch Code
@gcunit
That'd be awesome but I doubt it. I've been hoping for the Trilogy or Prime 4 news for so long that I've lost faith
Re: Poll: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Almost Here, So Have You Completed BOTW Yet?
I completed the main game, but didn't feel it compared well to the other 3D Zelda games. I much prefer Twilight Princess and Wind Waker
Re: Review: Sonic Frontiers - A Bold But Ultimately Failed Attempt At Something New
I was already feeling "meh" about this game, but this review was the final nail in the coffin so to speak. Maybe I'll look for it used down the line. Here's hoping Pokemon reviews well at least

Some are into that, brother
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Confirms Eevee And Charizard For First Tera Raid Battles
@Anti-Matter
The base idea is a decent one, but the crystal crowns look so goofy
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Teases Two New Pokémon In Latest Trailer
@NinjaWaddleDee
Eh, I don't think these games need voice acting. It'd be fine if they did, but the lack thereof doesn't really hinder anything.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 29th)
Final Fantasy IV (GBA version) is my current game. Been a long time since I played through, the Palom and Porom scene is still so sad
Re: Nintendo Introduces Chloe In Fire Emblem Engage
So far the only thing I've seen that I haven't liked is the main character design
Re: Talking Point: Would You Prefer 'Super Mario Odyssey 2' Or A Totally New 3D Mario?
I'd love a new Odyssey with less real world locations. I like the more fantastical locations, not New Donk City. But it might be time to fire Odyssey back up, been a while since I played it

Re: Poll: Has The Latest Trailer Convinced You To Buy Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
I skipped SwSh, Legends, and the DP remakes. So far this one looks promising

Re: Rumour: Could Switch Get Zelda: Wind Waker And Twilight Princess This Year?
As much as I would love to revisit Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, along with Prime Trilogy, I don't see it happening. But I'd happily be proven wrong!
Re: Best GameCube Games
Totally agree with top 3, but feel Prime 2 and Mario Sunshine should round out that top 5
Re: Fans Have Created Their Own Metroid 64, And It Looks Incredible
@cml
What? Prime was incredible
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Is Apparently Japan's "Biggest" Kirby Launch Ever
Definitely gonna pick this up once I finish Triangle Strategy, the demo was a lot of fun
Re: Random: Requests For Zelda Ports Increase Following BOTW 2 Switch Delay
@JAR3CK
The only problem is me and only 7 other people bought a WiiU, so there's a lot of people who haven't played the HD versions
Re: Soapbox: Chrono Cross Really Deserves To Come To Switch Before Chrono Trigger
@moodycat
Now THAT is a hot take. I didn't worship the game, but it really was a fantastic game
Re: Introducing Pokémon Scarlet And Violet's New Starters - Which One Will You Choose?
I love all 3, but we'll see when final evos are announced. I felt that way for SwSh and by final evo time I only liked the grass one. I skipped that one and Legends, maybe this one will drag my 30 year old butt back to the world of pokemon

Re: Square Enix Reveals Final Fantasy VII's 25th Anniversary Logos

I've never seen some put VII in any "bleh" list. XIII and XV usually, but VII? Interesting!

Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Officially Reveals Hisuian Voltorb
@Silly_G
I wish Voltorb took the form of the ball it is caught in, and gains a new secondary typing for each. Ultra ball gives it dark typing, great is water, etc. That'd be an awesome feature
Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?
@Dethmunk
Sir, this is a "Talking Point" article, literally meant to drive discussion. It's the whole point. Don't like it? Don't click it
Re: Poll: What's The Worst Legend Of Zelda Game?
@saiyantrunks79
If it wasn't for your excellent taste in Saiyans I'd think you were insane. Wind Waker, even in the Gamecube offering, is fantastic. Top 3 for sure
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd December (North America)
If my daughter was a bit older and that Disney game was cheaper, we'd be all over that. She LOVES Frozen these days

That's the best time, cause then I can log in and read the announcements at 9 am
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Puzzle Platformers
Captain Toad was such a surprisingly fun game for me. I really enjoyed it
Re: Nintendo Takes More Risks With Prototypes, Says Metroid Prime Developer
@Fangleman32
And that is depressing. They are shooting themselves in the foot by enforcing an "only toads, no partners" rule

Always a disappointment when I see a Metroid Prime article and it isn't more Prime 4 info

I love this art style. I wish they'd lean further into it and go with a more toy aesthetic like Link's Awakening
