@Bgmog Yeah, I'm feeling this too. I have my entire Xbox Live library dating back to the Xbox 360. My games automatically carried over to the Xbox One, and now the Series S. That should be the standard.
Apartments! I know this suggestion is a meme at this point, but people really love to feel connected to their Octolings / Inklings and the world they inhabit.
Apartments would let us collect furniture (always fun), have a place to "hang out" with our friends, and connects us more to Inkopolis.
I love to have this as an option. It makes sense that first-person is coming this season; the new map has far more detailed structure interiors that previous seasons. Older maps had bare-bones and sometimes nonsensical building interiors, which would feel weird in first person, but the new map is really stunningly detailed.
The big Mario and Luigi 14 and 15-inch plush are actually super cute and high-quality in person. I wish their denim overalls weren't just a print-on graphic, but the detail is nice and the "realistic" (still plastic) hats are charming. I'm going to get one and take him to dinner with me lol
@DK-Fan I think it's a bit dismissive to call Arlo "annoying and whiny."
Splatoon 3 DOES look like more of the same, but more of the same is still more of a very good game. But as someone not super invested into the game's meta, there doesn't look like a whole lot of new here.
New weapons and abilities aren't enough to grab those who aren't already invested in the metagame imo
I find this insular approach to game design more frustrating than not.
It's important to look at other successful pieces of art and take away what works; doing so does not take away from the quality and ingenuity of your own project. They weren't trying to copy Halo, obviously! It's so weird that the old-guard at Nintendo seems to pretend that other games don't exist.
My main issue with this is that the bar for Pokemon remakes has actually been set pretty high. Fire Red and Leaf Green felt like huge overhauls at the time and the additional content felt substantial. Heartgold / Soulsilver are among the best games, if not the best, in the entire series with their attention to detail and plethora of content. Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire modernized things in a great way and the Delta Episode really felt like a treat.
It's even harder for me to be excited about these games when the much-loved features from Platinum, the better game by all regards, are missing. No Battle Frontier, no Distortion world...
I'm pretty hype for this; I find it really funny that this is basically a re-do of the game they released on 3DS, just executed better. I was hoping to see more minigames from Mario Party 8, as that game has some of the best in the series in my opinion. But I understand why they would want to stay away from motion-based games.
I wish they had put more minigames from 10 as well. That game is bad, but the minigames are pretty good. It would be nice to play them in the context of a better game with real boards; the assets are already in HD, so it wouldn't be as much work to "remake them."
I really really hate that 4-player is 30 FPS instead of 60. Makes it really tough on the eyes for me. Double Dash had 60, so I wish that they could have toned down the graphics just a bit more to hit 60.
Also, Fast RMX hits 60 on 4 players so I was really hoping Nintendo could pull it off for the port
@CosmoXY As someone who seriously collects Japanese Pokemon cards, I don't understand the hate grading is getting here. In the card world, grading is a big deal to a lot of people (via PSA). While I prefer to keep my collection ungraded, grading does serve an important purpose and isn't a "scam" as people here claim
There is so much misinformation regarding this product. It is likely that old cards are not getting reprinted at all; this product is called "BREAK starter set" - which does NOT imply reprints in any way. In all likelyhood, the cards in this product will be all new while the packaging is old. Also, card sleeves with the old card back are being released around the same time as this product.
@Chubblings Yeah, I have to agree. Splatoon honestly isn't on the same scale as Arkham Knight. Don't get me wrong, Splatoon is amazing, but blindly hating on Arhman Knight is absolutely ridiculous. It's a fantastic game as well.
This project looks AMAZING - but I can't help but wish that these guys would name it something other than Mother 4. I love MOTHER and this game looks amazing; I don't have anything against fan projects. It's just that if they branded it as something else, while still keeping the assets, the developers could claim it as their own. Because they choose to call it Mother 4, they exist in a legal gray area and can never profit from all of their hard word, and they can never claim the game as 100% their own. They also stand at risk of a C&D. Best of luck to all involved; the project looks amazing.
If this were on 3DS VC, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I still can't believe they decided to put GBA games on Wii U VC. I have ten official GBA games emulated on my 3DS, and they all came straight from Nintendo, yet they refuse to release more.
