Im a little worried this might be permanent. Mario maker was already taken offline for seemingly no reason. That’s not to mention a very similar issue with the dark souls PC versions.
@Classic603 Haven’t played all of it yet but from my memory conquest is regarded as the best of the trilogy with some of the best map design in the series.
Portal 2 co op. One of the earliest stages. There was a stage with an easy enough puzzle with I think lasers and at some point you had to get back up to a higher level where the door was. Me and my friend kept trying to find a way to get our portals up there. As it turns out all we had to do was time a jump right to get there. Probably took like 30 minutes.
Been getting into the game on Apple Arcade the past week because I’ve had a lot of time away from my consoles. Games a blast and I can’t wait for this as the GBA castlevania games specifically Harmony of Dissonance are some of my favorite games.
@Anti-Matter It seems you like calling anything remotely starched to FF7 terrible after the cuphead thread earlier. Just cause FF7 isn’t your thing doesn’t mean anything attached to it is terrible
@Astral-Grain I actually really like the adventure time comparison as PB and Zelda are kinda in between good and bad am I wonder if that’s how they were inspired. I don’t however feel PB was ever jealous of Finn.
I own the expansion pass and I regret my purchase. The simple fact is that there isn’t enough. Now if all dlc hit the pass day one plus the retro games that would be a great deal and I’d uphold my subscription. But for me the retro games just aren’t worth the money as I own many of the good ones on other platforms and they don’t bring enough of them when it would be easy to.
Won’t be going for it. More emblems feel like they were being withheld for dlc when they easily coulda been in the base game. Story of the base game was boring so why would this be better. Fire emblem dlc has never been worth it except maybe the three houses one which I plan on getting at some point.
I know it’s really unlikely with Alphadream being dead but I’d love another Mario Luigi game. That and another Mario baseball provided it’s not ruined by stretching out the content through updates.
Aww what @KateGray is leaving. Your articles were always the best part of this site. Best of luck wherever you go from here and if you keep writing I’ll do my best to follow it.
It looks pretty but can’t beat the gorgeous hand drawn vibe of hollow knight and the brilliance of Ori for me. Still it looks good and might be worth checking out.
I’m not gonna lie this game used to be my favorite multiplayer game. And then it got run over by little kids and the community never recovered. Plus I’m not a huge fan of the new systems added. Hopefully the new map will be fun though.
Married Lissa because Im pretty sure she was the first one I hit A support with so I just went with it. Kinda regret it because her stats aren’t great plus she always gave me a weird younger sister vibe but whatever.
@D_Munk I’m not telling you to buy the game I only tried it because of gamepass. I’m just saying it’s more interesting than it sounds and much better than other similar games.
The switch version as others have said is not very good. I could never get local multiplayer to work and it rarely lets me sign into my Xbox account to play online. I legitimately just play mobile with a controller because at least that works.
Man I loved subspace emissary. I couldn’t finish world of light it just wasn’t that good to me. I did get almost to the end but I just dropped off idk. Something about subspace emissary was just really charming with its plot and stuff.
@nukatha Or triforce heroes. That one can get even better because of the temptation to get a stack of people and then walk of the edge for the fun of it.
Im not sure what’s next for them. I want them to reinvent the wheel and keep it backwards compatible at the same time. I never play my switch handheld I always take the chance to use my ds when I’m on the go. I’d be happy splitting the console and handheld again. Remember the last time they went with a direct successor we got the Wii U which was a commercial flop which might drive Nintendo away from doing the same thing twice. I’ve always went to Nintendo for innovation the other two wouldn’t give me so I don’t want Nintendo to become a PlayStation and Xbox copycat.

It’s not any more expensive than 90% of quality games. I don’t really see the issue here.

Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies
@Rainz
The trilogy is on switch as well. And it’s not cross referencing as much as a large overarching plot between all 6 main games.
Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies
@Rainz
Get trilogy first. It’s 10 bucks on sale and has the first three in the series. They all build on each other you kinda have to play in order.
Re: Video: Splatoon 3 DLC Wave 1 Is All Style And No Substance

Once you get used to the controls it’s pretty good. And if your in a situation where you can you can always connect a controller.

I’d argue the touch controls worked fine with it being a ds original. I wonder how it’ll work.

That was my thought lol. Played the game off her recommendation and did not regret it.

Re: Among Us Shares Its Roadmap For 2023

Mobile version is better. In a game with a lot of chat button controls just don’t really work. Best of playing on steam or mobile.
