This was a no-brainer with the 3DS Eshop shutting down a while back. So happy that they're free from that thing now.

17/17! Nice! First time I got a perfect score on these, haha.

See, for Mario it worked because the franchise is suitable for all ages big and small. Zelda, as said by nessisonett, is arguably not for kids. It's mostly aimed at teens (baring few expectations).

Can you imagine a six or eight year old playing Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess? They'd be mentally scarred.

Not against one happening, but I don't really see it. They could easily shadow-drop a few trailers here and there and maybe give Pikmin 4 its dedicated Direct.

Gloom Hands for sure. But nothing tops TP and especially MM for me when it comes to the creepiness factor.

Having the moon constantly staring you in the face was basically the equivalent of Death breathing down your shoulders. Accompanied by the time limit, it really does show you that it's all over once the final hours of the Final Day hit. Along with many other creepy stuff from the game as well.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Listen, I, like many others, have actually enjoyed my time with S/V, but this is just...PFFTHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

So I guess that there's practically no point in calling this a sequel, then?

Nice to see it did well. Can't wait for tomorrow.

Kinda unfortunate seeing Ivy, Chloé, and Panette not being in the top five, along with the absence of Zelkov and Rosado. Especially considering that those five were the only folks that I liked, could remember, and could take seriously (even with their goofy antics).

I'll forgive it since Yunaka is high, though. As she is also one of my favorites.

IX was my first. Was super curious about what makes this series so beloved so I gave that a go a few years back. And after finishing...yeah, not only is it my favorite game in the series, but it also turned me into the fan I am today.

Yeah, Silksong is definitely being saved for a Direct at this point. I can totally picture it being the last thing they show or something.

If you ask me, he's one of the few protagonists that I don't mind staying silent. It's a part of his charm, I guess you could say. So giving him voice acting would just feel...off.

We're almost there. Almost.

Yup, figured this was gonna happen. Not that I'm really bothered by it considering that we normally get showered with gaming news during the summer anyway.

About time. Now to see what eally makes this sequel so special.

I'm honestly shocked that we didn't get a Mystery Dungeon game. Regardless if it was a remake or a new entry. Would've made my day, but...guess not.

Was an amazing game back then and it still is now. Gonna be a busy day between this and Octopath 2.

Mystery Dungeon, Mystery Dungeon, Mystery Dungeon.

It's my top priority above anything else. Even the SV DLC.

The fact that the characters interact more is an enough reason for me to get this. Don't care how too little or too much, 'cause that's the one main thing that bothered me after playing the orignal. On top of its ho-hum story that this game thankfully seems to have fixed.

@SNES64DD Layton, Ghost Trick, and (despite needing more info on it), ToTK.

It was great. Loved every second of it.

As great as that trailer was, I STILL haven't seen what makes this a true absolute sequel. I'm looking forward to this and getting it, don't get me wrong, but the advertising for this game has been very bizarre as of late.

Hope for a Zelda Direct or something.

Finally, thank god. I can't wait for it!

Seriously? Tch. This better be one heck of a game, then.

Advance Wars, Prime 4, Silksong, Pikmin 4, and more info on ToTK. Those are my safe bets considering this is a usual February Direct.

Lissa on my first run, Cordelia on my second, and Chrom on my third and last. And I don't mind the marriage stuff coming back as long as it's like this.

Musk adding more fuel to the already scorching fire he made, I see.

"Social sim, relationship, and romance aspects are an afterthought this time."

Good. Shame I have to wait until next week to get this due to unfortunate circumstances, but I'm glad that it managed to exceed my expectations.

2022 was not quiet in the slightest for the Switch. And assuming things will go smoothly, 2023 being quiet will basically be nonexistent.

Looks as fake as fake can get. Totally excepting something like this to happen as we get closer to the game's release, though.

Man, so this really is it, huh? Definitely going to be very weird going forward considering that these two have been a part of our lives for so long.

I'd give it a C or D. It had a decently strong showing at the start, but it lost me halfway through. Although it did show off a lot of games I'm looking forward to, so I wouldn't call it a...complete waste of time.

Yeah, as much as I'm looking forward to this movie, having all this info dumped in the span of almost two weeks is a bit much in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, April will be here before we know it and I never say no to another trailer, but let's slow down a bit.

Holy wow that trailer was great. Even better than the last one even!

And they made Peach, my personal least favorite Mario character, actually good??? This movie truly is gonna be something else.

Judging from the image, yup! I guess we will indeed see what Peach sounds like! Which I am looking forward to given how first impressions of this were pretty decent.

Also kinda weird that they didn't save this for TGA, but hey! It leaves more room for GUNS AND SPAAAAAACE GAMES!!!

Yeah, customization would definitely feel welcomed given how the pervious gens had it.

Would've preferred that than the abundance amount of restaurants everywhere, my god.

7/10. Maybe even an 8/10. The performance and graphics may be abysmal (along with other small annoyances), but damn am I having a good time with this.

Might even go so far as say it's the fourth best in the series in my book.

I hope we get Toad's Factory from Wii. It's one of my favorite tracks in the series. Especially with that music.

Don't really care for performance issues if the overall game is better than Sword and Shield. That's all that matters to me. Can't wait for it.

Not really. Mainly because I'm not really good at naming things.

While the chances of XC3 winning are SUPER silm, I'm just glad that it finally, finally got nominated for GOTY. Heck, if it manages to win at least in one of the other categories it'll make the pain sting less.

Comparing these two in terms of which I'm most hyped for is like comparing a tree sprout to a cherry tree.

Zelda. No contest.

Ah yes. The 10th anniversary of the game that forever killed one of my most beloved series. So...good for it, I guess.

Also can't believe it's been 10 years since then. I feel old.

Yeah, I'll nab it at a sale. While I am glad that it didn't completely crash and burn, I honestly wish it could've been so much better. I guess 3D Sonic just isn't really for me anymore. Shame.

Too late. Already moved on to many, many other games that are worth my time.

My personal GOTY. I've been wanting Kirby to go 3D for so long, and am so glad that it came and delivered.

Something new. When it comes to Mario platformers, it's basically up in the air for what the experience is playing them. Which is why I want a freshly made one that doesn't inch too close to familiarity.

As for when? Could be 2024? When the Switch 2/successor/whatever comes out? Maybe later that? Sooner? Don't know or care, I'll gladly wait until then regardless.

Glad it did well. Can't wait to nab it down the line.

Mario Party 6 because it does basically everything that I want from this series. That, and it was personally, in my opinion, the last truly great Mario Party. 7 kinda just felt 6 again, 8 was heavily crippled by its motion controls, and the less said about 9 and 10's car mechanic the better. After that, the games ranged from mediocre to just plain bad.

Until Super and Superstars happened. They were actually fairly good.

Uh...no? Why would I want to not by a game that I will eventually get because someone gets all whiny about their paycheck? Besides, it's not any of my business, so why should I care?
