Re: Rumour: The Starter Evolutions For Pokémon Sword And Shield Might Have Been Leaked

Deku-Scrub

Game Freak and Creatures Inc really knocked it out of the park with the base starters, and I would argue Scorbunny, Grookey, and Sobble are the best set to come since Gen 3.

These final evolutions though just feel weird. Grookey’s final is admittedly not that bad, but Sobble’s took an absolute 180. I’m fine with them going for this “secret agent” sort of vibe to Sobble, but I wish there was at least a little more going on in the design. Scorbunny’s final evolution leaked elsewhere, and in my opinion, it’s by far the most uninspired, although the only image out there for it right now is very blurry.

Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?

Deku-Scrub

My DSi was shipped with a broken L button, it would almost never respond to my inputs no matter how hard I pressed.

My original Wii dealt with disk reading problems about 4 years into having it, although I don’t exactly blame Nintendo for that one. However, my Wii nunchucks have had drifting issues in the past, it doesn’t happen all the time though.

After about a month of getting my Wii U, the Gamepad absolutely refused to stay consistently connected to the Wii U unless it was very close to the system itself, it still does it to this day.

Switch has the occasional Joycon drift, has a small crack by the air vent, and the Game Card flap has been chipped down over time resulting in it never staying in place anymore. My kickstand won’t stay in place all of the time either.

Re: Mojang Cancels The Super Duper Graphics Pack For Minecraft

Deku-Scrub

This seemed inevitable considering how long it was taking, but it’s still really disappointing. You’d think Mojang would be able to figure out a way to reverse-engineer shaders from the java edition into the bedrock editions, but I guess their will to bring it to EVERYTHING as opposed to just Xbox One X ultimately killed the project.

Re: Chicken Wiggle Workshop Unlikely To Be Released On Switch This Year

Deku-Scrub

I was thinking about this the other day actually and I think that this is ultimately the smartest move they could make from a success point of view. Super Mario Maker 2 just came out, and most people’s level-creating itch will have been scratched for quite a few months. If Chicken Wiggle wants to be a viable competitor it has to wait it out anyways, and taking more time for the game to be properly developed with care will make the game be even more successful anyways.

Re: Unidentified Body Is Found Following Search For Missing YouTuber Desmond "Etika" Amofah

The world truly won’t be the same without him. As someone who has struggled with depression in the past, the thing we tend to forget the most is how important we are to other people. We get so intoxicated with the idea that we are some of the most terrible people ever, when that’s almost never the truth and we forget the value we provide to others.

I’ve been a fan of his for a long time, and watching the events of the past several months take place has been nothing short of heartbreaking to watch. I hope he is still alive and well, and I wouldn’t be the least bit mad if he is simply just done with being “Etika” forever. At this point I just hope the best comes out of this situation, whatever that may be.

Edit: This doesn’t feel real...

Re: Nintendo Announces Splatoon 2's Final Splatfest, Chaos Vs. Order

Deku-Scrub

@Woomy_NNYes Regarding Super Sea Snails: You can actually still get these outside of Splatfests in Splatoon 2, every time you level up from Level 30 and so on, you’ll earn 1 Super Sea Snail. These stack as well so you don’t have to worry about picking them up every time you level up.

Regarding Ability Chunks: These can mainly be obtained through Salmon Run, they are the green capsules you earn by playing the mode after you fill up your reward meter enough.

Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Is Coming To Nintendo Switch

Deku-Scrub

I hope the goofiness and fun of the old games that didn’t have voice acting is brought back out with this game. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens had some fun parts to it, but it severely lacked in bringing out that Lego charm that 1, 2, The Complete Saga, and even The Clone Wars had in their own respective games.

Re: Nintendo Announces Splatoon 2's Final Splatfest, Chaos Vs. Order

Deku-Scrub

@Woomy_NNYes Yep, they did it with Splatoon 1 to determine what the campaign in Splatoon 2 would be like. And considering that they’re ending this one with a pretty big bang it’s fair to say that the winning team will determine what the campaign will be like, and to a much greater effect too since there is the whole chaos and order theming going on with this one as opposed to the original game which was simply Team Callie VS Team Marie.

Re: Nintendo Announces Splatoon 2's Final Splatfest, Chaos Vs. Order

Deku-Scrub

I am really unsure of which to pick this time around, as it’s pretty clear that the results of this Splatfest will determine what Splatoon 3’s main campaign will be like.

Personally I think Chaos winning would probably provide the most unique and interesting story, although Order could provide an interesting story too.

AGGHH it’s so hard to choose.

Re: The Next DLC Fighter For Smash Ultimate Will Be Revealed At Nintendo's E3 Direct

Deku-Scrub

Considering what happened with Smash 4 and the fact that this is E3, I think it is a safe bet that we’ll see 2 fighters announced, one for immediate download and another for later down the line around August or September.

And at this point, I don’t care who we get, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. As long as what Sakurai and the rest of the Smash developers are able to cook up is fun, I’ll play it.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Has Now Sold More Than 1.7 Million Copies Worldwide

Deku-Scrub

This is hands down within my top 5 favorite games of all time, which is definitely saying something. XC2 is such an amazing game and it deserves every bit of success it has received.

Even though it is very unlikely, I hope we get a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 true sequel with the same characters and world. I am satisfied with what we got from the base game, DLC, and prequel game, but a guy can dream.

Re: The Beta For Mario Kart Tour Doesn't Seem To Include Proper Multiplayer Racing

Deku-Scrub

I mean, it’s called Mario Kart Tour for a reason.

And assuming they never add proper online multiplayer, I think it’s fair to predict that we’ll eventually get time trial ghost races to some capacity. Super Mario Run has some of its own which provides most of the replay value, and I’m sure Nintendo is aware of this themselves and has it planned somewhere along the pipeline already.
