I don't know, Goofy meeting his untimely (albeit temporary) demise in two was kinda dumb lol. But I didn't play 2 until 2015 or so so I guess it loses the impact. Donald casting Flare in a last ditch attempt in 3 felt more impactful. But BBS was really heart wrenching, especially what Aqua goes through between BBS, .2 and part of 3.
Realistically? Like $20 or $30 at most. I'm being serious lol. I would have no problem paying a little more for a sealed copy of a lot of other games, but not the OG Mario Bros.
I remember seeing something about this a few days ago. Hilarious that Diddy Kong pointing at a random object with his hat on backwards is forever engraved onto a penny.
Shouldn't have announced it years before having anything to show, now should ya Kamiya-san? People are going to bother you about it all of the time. What do you expect lol. Just be like other devs and ignore the chatter instead of getting all huffy and puffy.
Uematsu and Kondo are two of my absolute favorite video game composers ever. They were both so masterful in perfectly conveying emotions and actions in their music that really elevated so many environments and scenes.
People have done this with both Super Mario 64 and Star Fox 64's OSTs and they sound really good.
Then you have the fellow that remade the DKC Trilogy's soundtracks which also sound fantastic. I think he created the music from scratch but it still sounds damn good.
Maybe I'm just not used to fully fledged VA work in a Zelda game so that's why it just felt... off to me. That doesn't mean the VA was bad or anything it was just odd.
Kinda like Yakuza. I've played Yakuza games in Japanese so much that I don't even want to hear the English VA that they added in Yakuza 7 cause it would just feel wrong.

Re: Charles Martinet Discusses Voicing Gaming's Most Iconic Character: "I Dream As Mario"

Re: Review: Metroid Dread - Quite Possibly The Best Metroid Game Ever Made
"Some boss fights may really test you to breaking point before you crack them"
Good. I want the bosses to be challenging. Fusion's bosses being tough is what made beating them really rewarding.
Anyways great review. Bring on Friday!
Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania - Feature-Packed, But Far From Top Banana
I never played any of the Monkey Ball games so I'll gladly get this collection.

Re: Random: Scalpers Are Now Attempting To Sell "Limited Edition" Pokémon Oreos For Outrageous Prices On eBay

Re: Review: Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom - A Sublime Port Of An Awesome Adventure
I can understand why peeps prefer the first game over the second, but I really loved the sequel because of the combat and the characters.
Also, without going into spoilers, there's a level out on the sea that has fantastic music with a really cool atmosphere.

Realistically? Like $20 or $30 at most. I'm being serious lol.
I would have no problem paying a little more for a sealed copy of a lot of other games, but not the OG Mario Bros.
Re: Random: Brendan Fraser Was So Busy Playing Switch He Missed The Start Of A Meet & Greet
Fraser seems like a cool guy and his movies are a good time.
Re: Among Us Devs Speak Out About Fortnite's Suspiciously Familiar 'Impostors' Mode
Unreal Tournament died because of Fortnite, which will always make me sad.
But Epic knows they can do what they want without repercussions.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #89 - Chrono Trigger
I actually prefer the US cover over the Japan cover.
Sure the US cover has a black border taking up 60% of the art, but it's better than the generic cast standing on white background with logo.
Japan's cover reminds me of the "Graphic design is my passion" memes.
Re: SNK's Final Season Pass 3 Fighter For Samurai Shodown Has Been Revealed
Okay SNK, now I'm interested in Samurai Shodown.
Re: Court Orders Popular ROM Website To "Destroy" All Of Its Unauthorised Nintendo Games
"... with fears a relaunch of the site could still cause "irreparable harm" to Nintendo."
Oh no, whatever will Nintendo do. This will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. What a world, what a world.

Re: Soapbox: The Founder Of Newgrounds Will Receive An Award At GDC - Here's Why That Matters
So many great (and traumatizing) memories from Newgrounds as a kid with horrid dial-up internet.
Gotta give a hand to the fellows behind Friday Night Funkin. I feel they really helped with Newgrounds re-surgance.
Re: Here's How Nintendo Is Improving Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Over The Wii Original
Replace the Fi button with a Groose button. When pressed you get to hear quips and opinions on enemies and the locale from the main man himself.
Re: Random: Even Professional Smash Bros. Players Are Impressed By The Level 9 Kazuya CPU
I've seen level 9 CPU Kazuya's combos.
They're sick and I love them.
I seriously hope Sakurai's team doesn't nerf a bot's difficulty.
Re: This High-Grade Nintendo World Championships Cartridge Could Fetch Over Half A Million Dollars
8.0 rating? Damn, that's a good rating. Curious to see how much it'll go for when it's all said and done.

Just be like other devs and ignore the chatter instead of getting all huffy and puffy.

Re: People Have Been Receiving Weird Fortnite Postcards In The Mail, And They're Not Sure Why
I received one of these last week.
It's Fortnite related? I'm disappointed. I thought it was going to be some sort of cool merch from iam8bit.
To the trash with you.
Re: Random: Did You Know The Wii U Can Burn eShop Games To Discs?
Burning games onto discs?
drinks
I haven't heard that term since like 2003? 2005?
Good times.
Re: 'Super Mario 64 Plus' Is An Unofficial PC Port With 60FPS And A Permadeath Mode
This is a pretty sick mod, not gonna lie. The options, the movement upgrades, permadeath mode.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #81 - The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
I prefer the EU/JPN version over the NA cover.
It has the train aspect front and center, more color and even has Zelda with Link.
Re: Feature: Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Is Secretly One Of The Best Zeldas
I think I remember my friend playing Phantom Hourglass and I tried it a little bit, but never really dived into this and Spirit Tracks.
Kind of a shame since I love the art style.
Re: Random: Story Of Seasons' Photo Mode Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
If the people that took some of those pics didn't read that it would appear in other player's load screens makes this funnier.
Re: Reminder: Today's The Day - Mario 3D All-Stars, Mario Bros. 35 And More Are Taken Down For Good

Like a magic trick.

As someone that's starting to get to grips with Blender, this is pretty impressive.
Re: Video: Here's How Animal Crossing: New Horizons Looks Running At 4K, 60FPS
RTX or bust. We need those perfect ray traced puddles.
Re: Feature: Why Not Patch These Switch Games To Work With The Ring-Con, Nintendo?
Nintendo hasn't even added any content via patch to Super Mario Party, the last thing they'd add to it is ring con compatibility lol.
Re: Zelda Voice Actress Patricia Summersett Speaks Out About Online Negativity And Criticism
