Illumination for Kirby? No freaking way. Even if HAL or Nintendo had 'em by the neck, I still wouldn't believe the end product would be remotely passable.
The only thing that's keeping me from playing the game, albeit for different reasons.
And it really sucks, too. Because despite everything, I was actually looking forward to playing this game for a while. But unless there's some sort of workaround, I can't. Thanks, Blizzard.
Doesn't look terrible. If anything it kinda eases my worries a little bit. In fact, if this manages to crash and burn at least it has the looks going for it.
Even if she wasn't, it was so obvious that she would appear in the game one way or another. Given how she's one of the first things you think of when you combine Mario and space.
That said, it's nice to see her play a major role in something again that doesn't involve karts, sports, and parties. And as a villain no less!
With so many unanswered questions about titles that were absent along with it's heavy emphasis on farming games and RPGS...yeah, not their best if you ask me.
Definitely doesn't hold a handle to their February one, either.
It was a solid one, but I wouldn't necessarily call it their best one. Especially considering all the filler on farming sims and the absence of games like Advance Wars, Silksong, the rumored DK game, and many more.
Don't get me wrong, it REALLY delivered on the good stuff, but...it could've been better.
Considering that it's 70%-80% winter, I guess the remaining 20%-30% will be thrown in as little curveballs as to what to expect next year, which is fine. Regardless of what happens, I can't wait.
Whether or not this game is worth the price for having familiar content from previous games is totally up to you.
But I'll say this: at the end of the day, it at least gives you a whole lot to do compared to Mario Strikers Battle League. Which is why I will happily pay full-price price for this.
I would've chosen rock because it technically can't be defeated like with scissors cutting paper and rock breaking scissors. Covering a rock with paper does just that: cover it up, not destroy it.
...But I choose scissors because they look cool, haha.
Oh yeah, they're great. After beating the main plot, I usually pop in and out of the game to do some quests I've missed. Which is something I don't usually do unless I'm really invested.
Just as I thought, and I ain't mad, either. There's a lot of third-party stuff that we haven't heard news from in a while so I doubt this'll be a waste on time.
His definition of "huge new game announcements" are games that people will notice once and forget in a week. Sure, there have been a very few exceptions, but I doubt lightning will strike twice here.
But there is a very small part of me that would ABSOLUTELY love to be proven wrong, though.
Phew! Glad it reviewed well! Now I can actually buy it without having any regrets. Especially since I need something to tide me over until Kirby comes.
It's fine if it is. Last year's E3 left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wouldn't really care. Especially considering Nintendo gives us info dumps on that month anyway.

I'll bite. Need something to tide me over until Pokemon Scarlet.

Re: Meet Iono, The Electric-Type Gym Leader From Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
Ew. No. Get her away from me.
Re: Poll: So, What’s Your Verdict On The Mario Movie Trailer?
I liked what I saw. Definitely watchable.
Re: Poll: So, What Do You Think Of Mario's New Look?
The design took me a bit to get used to, but when it did...yeah, not bad! The voice could use some work but at least it's not atrociously bad.
Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here
Apart from the somewhat unfunny penguin joke, it was decent.

Re: Rumour: Possible First Look At Mario's Movie Face Appears Online
I like it! Sure, some things look at bit off but it's nowhere near Ugly Sonic levels of bad.
Re: Nintendo Announces A Special Direct Presentation For Super Mario Bros. Movie
Doesn't look terrible. If anything it kinda eases my worries a little bit. In fact, if this manages to crash and burn at least it has the looks going for it.
Re: Random: Fan Remakes Pokémon Yellow In Link's Awakening-Style 3D
Yeah, no. I don't mean to be harsh, but this...doesn't look great.
Re: Random: After Three Years Of Anonymity, Minecraft YouTuber Reveals His Face
Yup, that's definitely a face alright. Next!
Re: Wait, Is Rosalina Evil In Mario + Rabbids? The Internet Sure Seems To Think So
Even if she wasn't, it was so obvious that she would appear in the game one way or another. Given how she's one of the first things you think of when you combine Mario and space.
That said, it's nice to see her play a major role in something again that doesn't involve karts, sports, and parties. And as a villain no less!
Re: Illumination's Super Mario Animated Movie Has An Official Release Date
Oh god, here we go. The thing that will determine it all. Although I honestly have very, very, VERY low expectations thanks to the studio behind this.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The Latest Nintendo Direct?

Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The September 2022 Nintendo Direct?
It was a solid one, but I wouldn't necessarily call it their best one. Especially considering all the filler on farming sims and the absence of games like Advance Wars, Silksong, the rumored DK game, and many more.
Don't get me wrong, it REALLY delivered on the good stuff, but...it could've been better.
Re: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Flies To Switch Next February
And the wait to hear the amazing rendition of CROWNED...commences.
Re: Pikmin 4 Is Set For A 2023 Release, Following Years Of Speculation
Hopefully Metroid Prime 4 isn't too far behind.

Re: Review: Splatoon 3 - The Pinnacle Of The Series And Switch's Slickest Shooter

Re: Poll: Splatoon 3's First Splatfest Takes Place This Weekend - Which Team Are You On?

Re: Soapbox: Yes, You Really Should Do All Of Xenoblade Chronicles 3's Sidequests
Oh yeah, they're great. After beating the main plot, I usually pop in and out of the game to do some quests I've missed. Which is something I don't usually do unless I'm really invested.
Re: Soapbox: 20 Years Later, Super Mario Sunshine Is Still The Best 3D Mario
Great game? Absolutely. Best 3D Mario ever? Absolutely not.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini To Air Tomorrow, June 28
Just as I thought, and I ain't mad, either. There's a lot of third-party stuff that we haven't heard news from in a while so I doubt this'll be a waste on time.
Re: The First Hands-On Impressions Of Sonic Frontiers Have Dropped
@Not_Soos I wholeheartedly agree. It was like them saying "Look forward to this already announced thing!" five seconds later ...Next!
Re: Geoff Keighley Urges Fans To 'Manage Expectations' For Summer Game Fest
Well, that officially seals it. This truly will be a waste of time now.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Showcases A Pretty, But Sparse Open World
This...is a tech demo, right? Because everything just screams "early build" to me.
Hopefully they give us a story trailer someday that includes some bosses and whatever. Because so far, this is pretty concerning.

Re: Psychological Horror RPG 'Omori' Gets A June Release Date On Switch
Just barely qualifies as Spring given it was first announced to be coming to Switch. But whatever, can't wait!
Re: Gallery: Check Out This Stunning Kirby Collection On The Series' 30th Anniversary
It's so beautiful. Everything just looks so properly organized accompanied by some brilliant pink filters.
It all truly does show how much someone loves this series.
Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?
Not unless they show off more games than just Zelda. Especially considering my Switch is still fully functional.
Re: Looks Like E3 2022 Is Officially Cancelled
After last year's E3, and as long as Nintendo does their thing as usual, I honestly couldn't care less.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Delayed To Spring 2023
Yup, figured as much. Fine with me since this year is already packed as it is.
Re: Review: Kirby And The Forgotten Land - A Breezy Delight With Mario-Level Invention
All right! Bring on Friday!
Re: Review: Triangle Strategy - Square Enix Plots A Total Tactical Triumph
Phew! Glad it reviewed well! Now I can actually buy it without having any regrets. Especially since I need something to tide me over until Kirby comes.
Re: Feature: 29 Best 3DS eShop Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
Yeah, another Ace Attorney collection needs to happen because of this. That is unless Capcom wants people to play those games on their phones.
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Gets An Epic New Trailer
Different. I like it!
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Kicks Off On Switch This Summer
One of the things I've been asking for ever since the Wii U era.
Thank you, Nintendo. THANK YOU!!!
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Finally Getting DLC
Fine with me. Always thought MK9 was for the next console anyway.
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Arceus - One Of The Greatest Pokémon Games Ever Made
That's what I'm talking about. This'll make a great birthday present in the coming days after.
Re: E3 2022 In Doubt As Journalist Claims Digital Event Is "Probably" Also Cancelled
It's fine if it is. Last year's E3 left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wouldn't really care. Especially considering Nintendo gives us info dumps on that month anyway.
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Scores March Release Date, New Trailer Appears
Literally what I've been asking for so long. I can't wait!

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate Nintendo's 2021?
8/10. Not quite excellent, but leagues better than last year.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Ace Attorney Game?
Trials and Tribulations, Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (mostly the sequel), and even though it's not on here, Miles Edgeworth Investigations 2.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
Not a bad character to end on. Not my personal most wanted pick, but good for those that wanted it.
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
Eh, I'm fine with my current one. Good for those who really need it, though.
Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60
It's the original Metroid we haven't had in nearly two decades. Of course it's worth that price.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
A solid B. Glad they showed off the goods.
Re: Roundup: Here's What Was Revealed In Nintendo Direct E3 2021
What a great showing. Definitely needed this after all the disasters except for Xbox.
Re: Mario Party Superstars Will Have You Partying Like It's 1999
Nice. Will get it soon.
