SuMo had SO MUCH potential. The Alolan aesthetics, variants, new 'mons, legendaries, rowlet. I just didn't like the water starter, ultra beasts or pacing. Very slow games.
But they are still super enjoyable to me. I think starting with Red, coming back in at gen 4, and then jumping back in at SuMo made those my top 3.
That's my point though. They complain about the article, you complain about them complaining about the article, now I have to complain about you complaining about them complaining about the article. Where does it end, bulbs?
I got both, and enjoyed them for what they are. But what I really want is an HD2D remake of Legacy of Goku 1 and 2, Buu's Fury, and a new entry for Super. Those games were just plain fun. Combat could use a little oomph but I love the pixel look and music. Just update it all and add some new moves/abilities/etc
I highly doubt it, if you didn't like Super or Fusion. I personally loved Dread, fantastic game, but it's very much in line with the other mainline Metroids.
I'm surprised at how many complainers are here. Everyone acts like Donkey Kong is some sacred role and Seth Rogen hasn't earned the right or something.
Rogen, Pratt and the rest are fine casting. You'll be okay.
I love the Yoshi series. Yoshi's Island being my favorite, I love the aesthetics, the whole story book then wool then arts and crafts look. Most of the games are fairly easy to play but hide lots of fun hidden collectibles. My wife and I spent a while going through Wooly World together, and intend to eventually try out Crafted World with our daughter.
I didn't grow up playing N64, we skipped it and went from SNES to GCN. So to me, the game isn't anything amazing. The DS version was fine, but playing the OG in the AllStars pack feels like a chore. I can appreciate the foundation the game laid, but it just isn't for me. That said, even Sunshine (which I did play growing up) feels clunky these days. Mario has taken huge strides in Odyssey
I gotta restart Luigi's Mansion. I got stuck at a part where a redneck ghost is floating in a pool or something, and gave up. Jumping back in a year later and I can't remember the controls or story anymore
I'm still holding out hope for Prime HD on Switch, and Prime 4 eventually. And I'd love to see behind the scenes: what they originally had, what they scrapped and what took so long
What? I didn't say that. I just personally enjoy the series. And you're irritated that the guy who made the series and does the decision making added characters from a series he enjoys?
Also, there is no merit to the thinking that "had they not included Fire Emblem, another character could have made it in". It's all first party owned by Nintendo, and there wasn't a preselected number of fighters. Had they left it at 4 Fire Emblem characters, the total roster could very well be 4 short of It's final total.
Okay I guess the metric better suited would be Fire Emblem has 600 playable characters to choose from.
I do agree that 8 is a lot, but I enjoy them and it isn't like having less Fire Emblem characters would mean more elsewhere. I do wish we had more variety, with bow wielders, magic, axe, lance, etc. Ton of variety in Fire Emblem
Well that's down to a matter of opinion being touted as fact, then. So either you don't like Fire Emblem, which is fine, or you love another series. Again, fine. But to sit back and say that Fire Emblem isn't deserving is weird. There have been 16 mainline titles, it's a pretty big series.
Getting lost is a part of Metroid though, so it should still count towards playtime. Subsequent play-throughs will naturally get shorter and shorter.
It took me 12 hours to beat Dread, so to me it was worth the $60. Fusion and Zero Mission each took me around 5 hours, so it felt like a longer 2D Metroid
My point was the trailer intentionally cuts every time he says the "snow" part. First it's just "...runt" and then it's "s...runt" so that tells me it isn't called Snorunt and isn't native to cold climates. Obviously I could be wrong though.
Gotta be a new form of snowrunt. It cut off every time he said "snow" in the name, and he exclaimed "even though it's so cold here!" Or whatever. Sandrunt?
If you were asking me personally, no. I haven't been able to really enjoy it. But if you love fighting games, Nintendo, and a wild ride, for sure. You'll still find online matches fairly easily, especially right now as Sora just released
I got the free piranha plant and might have bought one fighter. But I'm not sure why I even did, I don't play it. I did for a bit but it seems so laggy on my wifi that online sucks, and my wife doesn't play. So I did single player stuff for a while and eventually just left it alone
I think they should do $1 per month, per console. You wanna play SNES? That's $12 unless you get a year's worth now for $10. Want n64 on top? Another $10 for the year. Want NES? Genesis? Gamecube? GBA? GBC? $1 per month for each. You pay for what you want
The current NSO has been a bit of a waste of money for me so far, so I'm most likely canceling. Had it been a small (like $5) increase or had GBA and GCN games I would have considered at least getting a year of the upgrade, but the current iteration of NSO isn't worth it to me

Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?
@ArcadeEighty
For me, it’s always “how long did I play the game vs how much did I pay for it”.
To some, that makes sense. To me, it depends on the quality of the game. Dread oozes quality in every aspect, is replayable, and worth every penny
