Re: Nintendo Showcases Some Slick New Hairstyles For Splatoon 3

Crockin

@Degenerate_Mii notice how they haven’t done a deep dive on ranked or single player yet? Be patient there is more. And if it’s supported like splatoon 2, even more after release. Very likely getting a dedicated splatoon direct at some point in next few months

Also, I’m confident there’s a whole different mode we haven’t seen. There’s been a huge emphasis on the new splatsville location and how it’s out in the middle of the desert. Big wide open space. Gotta be a reason for that

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Sonic Origins

Crockin

@Mikey_205 it’s better imo. Better music, better graphics, way more gameplay options and characters to pick from. When you really boil down the originals, you could trim so much fat from them. Mania did that beautifully, and added some new zones that are just so much better than some of the clunkier old ones

Re: Talking Point: Should Sonic Frontiers Be Delayed? We Discuss Its Bizarre Debut And Fan Reaction

Crockin

Every sonic game since like 1994 should have had more quality resources put into development. Quite frankly these games are always middling-bad. You had to know right off the bat from the announcement that this game would be the botw/open world take on sonic, and that it was going to be awkward. I was shouted down by many at the time, but this is precisely 1000% what I thought this game would be

Re: Negative Fan Reaction To 'Return To Monkey Island' Made Its Creator 'Sad'

Crockin

@victordamazio k, but that’s a big Hollywood movie with millions and millions of dollars behind it and resources to go back and change everything. Plus the negative feedback went far beyond a small fanbase. It was like a worldwide meme laughing stock situation. Massive difference between that and a small video game release. Yes you ultimately want to please your audience, but this stuff is set in stone, and people are being unreasonable. To change it now would bankrupt the project. The insular echo chamber should be tuned out. Sorry.

imo This art style doesn’t even begin to approach how horrific that sonic design was. In fact I think looks really nice.

Re: Video: Is Nintendo Switch Sports Really That Bad?

Crockin

Wii sports worked because the experience was completely new and bizarre at the time. Plus, it was a pack in. It embodied everything the Wii was about, and it was the whole reason many people bought a Wii. That can’t be recaptured. The core experience of the switch is very different, and it’s been achieved already. This was never going to live up to Wii sports

Re: Feature: What's Your Biggest Nintendo Launch Day Regret?

Crockin

I would honestly say the 3ds. As much as I like some of the bigger games, I just remember feeling so underwhelmed with the gimmick and Mario 3d land. Then most of the catalog ended up being remakes/ports etc. Was worth it for kid Icarus and animal crossing, but beyond that I just wasn't crazy about it.

For software, would have to go with 1-2 switch and red steel.

Re: Best Kirby Games Of All Time

Crockin

@Kirby_Girl exactly. I do actually have some nostalgia, but I don’t think nostalgia should ever disqualify a game like this one since it is such a pillar for the series. I had never played a game with such an unusual structure, it felt like such a bargain. It shares so much dna with smash bros, it almost feels like a dry run for that series. Anyway, kssu has fine QoLs and is a top 5 ds game, but yeah the original is just way too classic

Re: Best Kirby Games Of All Time

Crockin

@Kirby_Girl yeah the og is just a better experience imo. The extra content feels a little tacked on, like it could have been a completely different game. You can’t go wrong with the snes sound chip and controller, plus couch coop was just easier.
