Is a need for a June Direct this important moreso than a new Pikmin game coming out next month?
All-in-all, I don't really mind the character customization, but I do hope said character has more emotion if they are mute. That much i can expect Nintendo to do.
@Zachuratedphat I seem to recall myself owning some game discs dating from the 90's in good condition. Disc's CAN LAST LONG if they're taken care well. Same goes for cartridges. Sure nothing is forever but nobody is saying good care can prolong their shelf-life, right?
So...after reading the article, for like, 20 times now. (Weird, i know).
I just gotta ask everyone...are we really supposed to be mad at Valve for doing this just to avoid a lawsuit? I don't blame them at all. It's wasn't like they wanted to not have the Dolphin emulator on their storefront but they knew full well of what to expect if they didn't.
So I'm not blaming or marking Valve as the bad guy. But I do put blame on the Dolphin Emulator team for BASICALLY releasing it in the open. Could've done that on their own website.
I'll probably get back into Scarlet AFTER the DLC comes out. But even that may not happen as I will most likely wait until GF releases Scarlet/Violet with the DLC included. By then the games will be patched-up already...assuming they even do that.
Actually, there's one thing I would like for them to do is to allow us to delete replays & make a seperate "folder" or section for replays you favorited.
It didn't enter my mind at first. THAT I would like.
I admit using Action Replay back in the GBA days. Cause I only had one for GBA. Used it on Pokemon Emerald.
But after awhile the novelty of using Action Replay for GBA just...wore off. What good is it when you can blast your through & not feel you actually earned that progress. Now I did use AR for Sonic Advance 2 though to unlock...well...everything. But with Pokemon...that's different.
@Andee Hard to say, the Sega Master System was never popular in the US or JP. But was a big hit in South America & Europe.
Hell, Sonic Blast was ported to the Master System in South America in 1996/97.
The last time the SMS ver. of Sonic 2 & Chaos were released was on the Wii Virtual Console.
I doubt there are no rights issues but I know Tec Toy has the market licence to sell the Master System to this day...I think.
I think someone else will tell you much better than I can. But playing Sonic 2 on the MS is a much better experience than on Gamegear. Sonic Chaos on GG & MS is fine. But the MS versions have a much better presentation with the effin screen crunch...
Man, it's been a long time since I've watched this show. That said, I did see some of the games, based on the show. But none of them really stood out honestly.
Remastering Melee would be like poking the rattlesnake. Change EVEN the slightest details & you got folks with pocket knives at your throat.
Plus, Melee players tend to treat Smash Melee as a sacred cow even today. I can see Smash 64 getting a remaster but not Melee. Thats my two cents on that.
At this point, I couldn't care less. I've since stopped playing Smash Bros.
Honestly, and this is my personal view and/or opinion on this, but all that would "realistically" round-up to the price of $80. Not $250.
Bravely Default for 3DS had that CE for $60 last I remember at the time and it came with that figurine. Which was rather not good in terms quality maybe...I'd nearly caved-in on buying it before changing my mind at the last second.
But this isn't really a good comparison on my part. I...got nothin'.
Honestly, this game gets better update fixes compare to the likes of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Though I'm not even sure I should compare the two games like that.
@CorvoRevo To be honest tho, owning a PC I still count as physical really. Think about it, you need a physical medium to access digital. So regardless, you still own a physical PC. Works the same with all-digital consoles.
At least that's how I think. Call me crazy. Even I don't know.
I WAS gonna get it today but buying the OLED Switch took much of my money and I kinda overestimated my budget too. So it's gonna have to wait next week on the 1st of March.
I'm gonna go with the Prime series Suit. To me, it's the middle ground. Not too fancy but not too plain. Just practically appealing in a way. Just has that well-balance charm that I like,.
I'd say all of them are. Just not the XL versions of the DS & 3DS.
And despite me saying last time about the Game Boy Micro being a gimmick , but the GameBoy Micro definitely takes pocket-sized & portability literally and practically (mostly).

Re: Review: Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection - Divine Dungeon Crawling But Not Definitive
Hm...yeah. this is a hard pass for me. I like EO but honestly the price and them being straight-up based on the DS versions...
Just isn't really worth the money they're asking for. I'm perfectly happy with EO4 on 3DS for now.

I'll probably get back into Scarlet AFTER the DLC comes out. But even that may not happen as I will most likely wait until GF releases Scarlet/Violet with the DLC included. By then the games will be patched-up already...assuming they even do that.
Re: Review: Cassette Beasts - An Inventive Monster Battler That's Far More Zelda Than Pokémon
I'll consider getting IF it get's a physical release. That's a BIG IF tho.
Re: Disgaea 7 Scores October Western Release Date, Nine Months After Japan
October sounds good enough for a release date. Though I'm getting it on PS4 instead of Switch.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Straight Up Fails In Just One Respect: Accessibility
Come to the think of it...just HOW many of Nintendo's recent games have any accessibility options/features? Probably just a smidge...
This is something they REALLY need to tackle. Adding it thru updates is one way to do it.
Re: 3DS System Update 11.17.0-50 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I'll update it later this week. Too lazy right now at the moment.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: Where Does It Fit In The Zelda Timeline?
I just see each Zelda game as their own little "pocket universe" with their own timeline. That's about it.
Cuz honestly it's convulated as heck imo.
Re: Splatoon 3 'Sizzle Season 2023' Update Revealed - New Weapons, Stages, Game Modes And More
@Rykdrew Is that so, eh? Well, in any case, no further questions from me then.

Re: Splatoon 3 'Sizzle Season 2023' Update Revealed - New Weapons, Stages, Game Modes And More
@Rykdrew Hm...I'm curious. Since you mention it a few times, why not elaborate on how you EXACTLY want it to be implemented.
If you're gonna complain and/or criticize, at least give an explanation on why. Sounds fair in my opinion. Constructive criticism is quite valuable.
Re: Nintendo Survey Asks Players What Kind Of Game They Want Pikmin 4 To Be
Hard to say really on what I want Pikmin 4 to be. I'd say expand on what Pikmin 2 did with a little of what Pikmin 3 has.
Just one thing though...NO DAY LIMITS. That's why I skipped on Pikmin 3. It's also why I hold Pikmin 2 in such high regard on a pedestal.
Re: Random: Zelda Super Fans Are Already Queuing Outside Nintendo's Store For Tears Of The Kingdom
Midnight launch releases I'll never understand...there's never a reason for me to go out THAT late just for one game alone...
Re: Random: 'Sonic 5' Is Trending, And No, It Doesn't Mean 'Sonic 5' Is Definitely A Thing
I hardly find this rumor credible at all...
I swear Twitter trends STILL baffle me at times...which isn't surprising to be honest.

Re: PS1-Inspired Horror 'The Tartarus Key' Invites You To Escape A Mysterious Mansion
Certainly reminds me of similiar horror games on the Saturn. Particularly "D", Mansion of Hidden Souls, & Lunacy.
Man, the Saturn & PS1 had quite alot of those back then. Forget zombie games. Horror-suspense is what I like.
Re: Watch Out, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Leaks Are Out In The Wild
@RiasGremory I like to think of leakers as roaches. They come and leave. Then come back & leave again.
Re: Watch Out, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Leaks Are Out In The Wild
I'm guessing I'll hang out on Nicovideo for awhile. But I'm sure I'll be seeing spoilers there too.
Then again...I always got books to read.
Re: Soapbox: It's Time For A Zelda 1 Remake, Please
Honestly, I can't think of any way the OG Legend of Zelda would be remade.
However, I would love to see Oracle of Seasons/Ages getting the treatment.

Re: Sega Shows Off Sonic Origins Plus Physical Edition Covers
It's a no-brainer for me to choose the JP one. That one will go quite nicely with my JP copy of Sonic Jam.
Re: Totally Spies! Is Getting A New Console Game In 2024

Re: Microsoft's Activision Blizzard Acquisition Has Been Officially Blocked In The UK
@PessitheMystic Plus, these are the same comments he posted before. No points for that, I'm sure.
Re: Microsoft's Activision Blizzard Acquisition Has Been Officially Blocked In The UK
@gcunit Yup, I'm sure that'll go well, right? In that case, I'm sitting out on that, thank you very much./s
Re: Microsoft's Activision Blizzard Acquisition Has Been Officially Blocked In The UK
And so the saga continues.
This whole shebang could work as a novel, me thinks.

Hopefully, they'll plan well on this for short and long term in the future.

Re: Hori Unveils Five New Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Products
I'm tempted to get a Split-Pad Hori Pro but I'll wait for a sale...if it ever does at some point. Just not the Zelda theme ones.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Multiplayer Mod YouTube Videos Are Getting Copyright Strikes
@NCChris You think? This should've been done from the start.
Re: PSA: Splatoon 3 Is Currently 33% Off On Switch eShop (Europe)
@Arkantos2990 I agree with you on that.
Re: GameStop Fires Employee For Leaking Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch
Man...this is just crazy and absurd to hear. Unfortunately, I honestly don't have any words, thoughts, and/or opinions on this.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For April And May 2023
Hmm...yeah. Definitely a HUGE, HARD PASS on this month's releases. Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection I'll wait for a sale in the near future.
Demon Gaze...I'm...not sure I want to get. Didn't click well with it on the OG Vita ver. back then.
Re: Random: Smash Bros. Melee HD Unlikely To Happen, According To Former Nintendo Employees

I hope ya'll aren't forgetting about the GameGear Sonic games on the eShop too.
Re: Never-Before-Seen Footage Of Scrapped Official GameCube LCD Screen Uncovered
I remember seeing the LCD screens for the GC & PS1 Slim. But I've never seen then at Gamestop, Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, etc.
Plus, I think they were rather pricey too. MadCatz was the one that sold them, I believe back then.
Re: Splatoon 3 Receives A Minor Update, Here's What's Included
@JONOFTHEJONS Thanks! I found it here: https://angelicfuture.tumblr.com/image/146158028530
I had the OG link but it was deleted at some point yrs ago tho.
Re: Splatoon 3 Receives A Minor Update, Here's What's Included
Honestly, this game gets better update fixes compare to the likes of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Though I'm not even sure I should compare the two games like that.
But it feels that way...
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Pokémon Presents, Then?
Meh. That's MY summary of it. Most of it was just filler. That's it. I expected more and...well...that's it.
Not much to say really. This was the WEAKEST presentation overall.

Re: Video: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & Wii)
Hm...hard to say...but I think the Wii version still does hold-up well. As for King DDD's model between the two, I'm kinda indifferent.
That said.
But I still wish RtD Deluxe would let you play as a different colored Kirby in 1-P mode, THAT I would love.
Re: Feature: Samus' Suits, Ranked - Every Metroid Box Art Suit Design, From Worst To Best
I'm gonna go with the Prime series Suit. To me, it's the middle ground. Not too fancy but not too plain. Just practically appealing in a way. Just has that well-balance charm that I like,.
Re: Sakurai Says Working On DS Puzzler 'Meteos' Was A "Fascinating Challenge"
I still have that game even now on my DS. It definitely a unique twist on the falling puzzle game genre and felt fresh & original too.
Re: Soapbox: Switch Is Great, But The GBA SP Was The Pinnacle Of Public Transport Gaming
I'd say all of them are. Just not the XL versions of the DS & 3DS.
And despite me saying last time about the Game Boy Micro being a gimmick , but the GameBoy Micro definitely takes pocket-sized & portability literally and practically (mostly).
Re: Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Brings Original Trio Of DS Titles To Switch In June
No way I'm paying full price for this. Not for a digital release. I'll stick with the 3DS ones, thank you very much.
Besides, imo, they're much better played on the 3ds. Just my opinion.
