Kinda boring at the moment tbh, probably won't touch it for another year or so. I like some of the creature designs but man the lack of music variety and the constant battle after battle both get so tiring so quick.
I mean japan has a well established DIY model kit scene, let alone wonfes being the top spot for limited exclusive ones. This is pretty standard for a more niche character's release in figure form lmao
For me it was completely ditching raids until the post game. I overleveled on xp candies from a handful of raids early on, gradually balanced back out by the 3rd gym. Not doing any raids or candy use when I had to go back through the wild area made me a lot more even with gyms 4-8.
@Gridatttack You can't get all gigantamax pokemon currently. Toxtricity, Melmetal and Snorlax have been unavailable. These events are increasing the odds from 0 lmao
@Heavyarms55 yeah for anyone who doesn't want to pay it's worthwhile to just wait for next summer when it's inevitably dropped in 5* raids alongside its shiny as part of the ultra bonus
@w00dm4n any quests in this event's research will change after the event for anything that won't be available as easily once it's over, same as how the Gofest special research unown quests would change.
Skylanders definitely felt a drop from that attempt at mixing platforming and racing into the same game. With the more expensive item generally being a bigger, cooler character, the switch to making that more expensive item vehicles damaged the interest to some degree. Skylanders is pretty big with my cousins and younger siblings, and their usual interest was still directed primarily at the characters over the vehicles, leaving them with maybe 2 or 3 in total each.
I still think Giants and Trap Team were their best work when it came to figure size, subject and quality. The games were just as platform based as the original, without the nonsense Swap Force mini games or Supercharger's weird racing bits, and were genuinely more fun.
Hopefully they lean more towards that again or else they'll really start to wane in sales next to their competition, not that they don't have to innovate too, it just they have their niches and specific aspects that allow for less constant innovation. Lego has hundreds, if not thousands of IPs at their disposal, while Nintendo has a fanbase that buys their products like hotcakes.
@Detective_TeeJay If I recall correctly, Dominoes teamed up with Miku a couple years back in Japan and the boxes could be virtual concerts using AR on your phone. Japan makes some fairly random, but still pretty awesome combos over there
Considering how we got deviljho pickles during the caravan tour, and Mosswine jerky from a couple US sites, it wouldn't surprise me if we ended up getting some over here, or something else using North American made food products
I find it funny how few people saw the new bird pokemon during the concept shots. I have yet to see an article mention anything other than the cars and buildings XD
As a young little babbu I was a hardcore fighting and racing game player. I was one of those kids who dominated the elementary school circuit. I was super hyped for a challenge. As time had gone on I've become gradually less interested in being such a competetive butt, and have recently hit 2000 hours in Team Fortress 2 as a Bird headed fat man that only uses his slow fists. Life is both calmer and more fun in many ways these 10ish years later XD
Despite their use of already existing IPs and use across multiple systems and games, and the supposed shortages generating a ridiculous demand for amiibos as a whole, 40 million in 13 ish months still doesn't seem all that impressive next to the 30 million figure sales skylanders figures received in their first 6 months as a completely new IP. I'm not the hugest fan of Skylanders, but it just doesn't bode well in my eyes that what is supposedly a the hottest range of toys to life figures on the market is paling in comparison to a new idea back in 2011.
It's a little late in the game. The Wii U is on the top of a slow incline at this point. Considering the higher price than the PC or Pocket editions, less overall content, a lack of gamepad use, payed skins, restrictions on building and exploring space, and no ability to use custom content or play custom online game modes with more than 8 people, it's simply not worthwhile. It's a straight port pretty well designed so microsoft could claim the honorary title as the competetor that got on a nintendo system. If you have any other version of minecraft, I'd say don't go with this particular version.
