@T317 It's better. The story is actually really deep and heart wrenching but with the same loveable quirkiness and fun that the series is known for. The characters are FAR more interesting, memorable, and well written than Earthbound's too. I'll always love Earthbound, but MOTHER 3 is just a better game.

I played Earthbound first and it became a 9 or 8.5 out of 10 after playing MOTHER 3, which I consider a 10 out of 10. Please do yourself a favor and play it. It's not a waste of time and you'll wish you played it sooner.

Don't hype yourself up too much or too little for it. Just go in blind and enjoy the ride.

@NikHogan by far this is the most removed posts I've seen in an article. I think someone needs to chill it with that report button or someone needs to stop being so "by the book" when it comes to moderation. It's a bit ridiculous.

I'm sure this will be removed for "discussing moderation" too.

This looks like it uses the Mogura engine which was made by Team Ladybug, the people behind Deedlit Wonder Labyrinth and Touhou Nights.

Looks pretty good! Also, judging by the comments, I don't think people realize this is a Touhou game lol.

@nukatha I was thinking this too. At first I thought it was actually being developed as an N64 game.

Disappointed that it's just a Unity game with low poly assets instead.

@Arkay I find they're much, much worse than the base tracks and even worse than their original incarnations in some cases too. Coconut Mall in MK8 is the worst version of the track to date on top of looking REALLY ugly and out of place. The tracks have cut features from the OG versions or even shortened completely.

48 tracks or not: they're low quality, low effort, mobile port cash grabs. And if you don't like them? Too bad! You're now forced to play on them online. Thus why I said they've ruined the mk8 experience (for me personally).

It feels like I'm playing a hacked version of MK8 where some modder did a quick port job to put in a bunch of tracks with no effort to make them "MK8".

It's not surprising that Square truly doesn't care about their own games or fans but that being said, I still don't think the game would have turned out good.

Yuji Naka is a hack and apparently a pretty big ***hole

Wow, it's hilarious how quickly Reggie just threw his reputation out the window.

This is why you don't act like a famous person is your friend or worship them. He got turned into Mr. Funny "Body is Ready" Meme Man but none of us know Reggie on a personal level. He was president of a company, and of course he's going to care about making money more than anything. We also dont know what his views truly are but this has made it clear as day that he's no different that any other greedy business man.

Lmao, I can't believe ANYONE thought the Booster courses weren't all from Tour. So glad I didn't purchase them. They honestly just tainted the mk8 experience

Gemma, seeing your Kirby collection makes me very happy ☺️. Not only do you have all those Kirby games in English AND Japanese, but you have a ton of unique Kirby merchandise!

I'd love to see all that pink and cute Kirby merch everyday. Awesome stuff!

Pretty funny that alot of the worst selling entries in the series for a lot of these were Wii U titles lol

@daichi42 yea, I actually like XII as well. It's the last FF I actually enjoyed and I agree it still has that "squaresoft" feeling. I think it's get a bad rep for being a "numbered entry". If it had been called something else or treated as a spin off, people would have been less likely to hate on it

@Tasuki VII and IX were amazing. A lot of people are going to disagree with you lol. I think X was the truly last good FF and it was also the last FF that Hironobu Sakaguchi worked on before leaving Square. After X, THEN I would say the series went downhill.

This is actually mind blowingly impressive. I'd expect this kind of high quality port for the 3DS, but the original DS?! Good job to the team or person behind this. I hope this doesn't getting DMCA'd or whatever.

I wish these fan projects wouldn't reveal their work until it's complete to prevent that sort of thing

Is this game going to have a decent sized single player mode? I've never been interested in the multiplayer aspect of Splatoon, but I really like the characters and world.

Also, are there no new hosts in this game? Callie and Marie, then Pearl and Marina, but no new ones for 3? They haven't even shown if Pearl and Marina are even in 3 to begin with.

Now that this is in the news, I imagine it will be DMCA'd. I won't be surprised in the slightest when it happens either.

I mean, Nintendo did it with an out of print SM64 guide, so I think an entire movie will have it happen too. We'll have news outlets like Nintendo Life to thank when it happens!

I'm really not sure how the NA cover is winning. The overused gold background with nothing but the logo is SO boring.

Seriously? How is it better than detailed drawn art with an actual background? Are people just basing their preference on nostalgia and nothing else?

@Not_Soos Wow that's pretty awesome! Thanks for giving me the info, even if you didn't want to 🤣 and I wouldn't worry too much about giving it publicity on here. Only a few of us here will be seeing what you said.

Good luck with your submission and pitch! I hope it all works out for you. If it does, you've got to let us know!

@Not_Soos Just out of curiosity, did you just send someone an email at his studio asking if you could send them a cartoon pitch or something? Im just wondering how you got the chance to present then with something!

I'm still disappointed with Yooka-Laylee. It felt like a shallow, souless cash grab that did nothing right or original compared to Rarewares old platformers.

It tried TOO hard to be Banjo Kazooie, but it didn't capture any of the charm or fun from the original games. YL still remains nothing more than a cheap, mediocre knock-off. To be honest, I think it's because Gregg Mayles wasn't the director and didn't have anything to do with it. He was the director of Banjo Kazooie, Tooie, and DK64 and the reason those games were so good.

YL also didn't have the exact same team as those original games so it's not surprising that it didn't have the same magic.

@Solaine If she doesn't return, then I have no almost no hype for this game. KH3 gameplay wasn't great, the story was bad, and all it had going for it was the music. But even KH3 wasn't fully composed by her and you can REALLY tell.

I downloaded the KH3 soundtrack and deleted every song she didn't create because they were super generic. The story is impossible to follow and the gameplay in this trailer reminds me of KH3....so Yoko is the only way I can give a single crap about this game. That or actually bringing back Final Fantasy characters.

Can't wait for the NFT's they're going to sell! Boy, do I love Konami!

Are....are you kidding me?! But WHY?! The game is already made up of reused assets. It even looks like it uses the exact same Hyrule map.

HOW can it possibly need another year of development? Like, seriously??? Constantly needing to delay a game isn't actually a good sign. People keep saying "oh it's fine! I'd rather have a masterpiece than a rushed game!". Is there even a single example of a game being delayed multiple years and turning out good? I can literally only think of the opposite. Cyberpunk is a perfect example of a delayed game being a disaster. They must keep running into multiple problems and issues they need to deal with. It's actually the only reason to delay your product.

Copyright striking a scan for an out-of-print, 27 year old guide for a N64 game? Really...?

This is honestly a new low for Nintendo. A lot of the copyright strikes before this one had at least some justifiable reasoning behind them...but this? This is just absolutely absurd. I bet you that the guide would have also NEVER been taken down if news outlets wouldn't have reported on it. Typical.

@Effortless-gamer Lol that's crazy. It feels like it depends on who's moderating at the time. A while ago I had two of my comments removed in one hour.

None of them were offensive or "trolly" and were just merely my opinions on things but each of them were removed for "not being useful" or "flaming". I still find it really absurd.

@Effortless-gamer Its funny how in the last article posted about them, I said basically the same thing and my comment got deleted for being "unconstructive".

I still stand by what I said, except for I know who they are now and still don't see why their opinion matters.

@DomGC It's funny how this was supposed to be sarcastic but ironically sounded like you were stating normal opinions that a lot of people would agree with. I was in complete agreement when I read "modders do a better job than Nintendo" and that "NSO is a sh*tty cash grab for gullible fools who aren't used to good internet services".

It wasn't until the "switch is bad in general", "Nintendo is DOOOMED", and eye-roll emoji that I realized you weren't being serious. Sending mixed messages. Not sure why your first two points were in there as if they were absurd. A lot of people DO think that tbh.

BotW community and content never ceases to amaze. I love seeing all these cool discoveries, tricks, glitches, and interesting ways people play the game.

I'm also surprised the game can even handle that amount of dropped weapons in one place!

I don't know if anyone's heard of Project Re:Fantasy, but it's just as bad as Metroid Prime 4.

It was announced in 2017 and is the Persona team's next big IP. There's not been a single gameplay trailer or piece of proper news in all these years. It's not even known what the gameplay will be like or what the story is about. There's only a few pieces of concept art and nothing more.

The director comments every now and then with "things are going smoothly" and apparently he said last year that it might come out this year, but I doubt it lol

I LOVE the artstyle and design, but it doesn't really feel like "female" Eggman. It looks more like an anime girl cosplaying as him. Genderbent Eggman would not be that attractive lol.

Either way, this looks awesome! I'm sure some fanart will come of this. Definitely not Bowsette levels, but that's pretty hard to top 😂

If they're adding more boards, then that's awesome! Even though I still think Superstars is worse than Mario Party 1-7, it's still a pretty decent step in the right direction and is be happy to support it

@MrHonest I agree. I feel like they receive too much praise when more than half of their games were flops, poorly marketed, or mediocre.

The only games they've made that were a success were Nier Automata, Bayonetta 1/2, and Metal Gear Rising. Everything else is barely known about and pretty obscure. Most gamers don't even know about Wonderful 101 or Astral Chain despite having fans. All of Platinums licensed games like TMNT and Korra are also really bad too.

Where's the option for "none of them because I won't be buying it" seeing how Scarlet and Violet looks just as bad as Sword and Shield?

Lol, judging by this comment section it sounds like Pokemon fans have completely lowered their standards and just started accepting and embracing the low quality, soul-less rush jobs that GameFreak puts out nowadays.

I guess it's the only way to enjoy modern Pokemon so I'm not surprised 🤷‍♂️

-Already a new gen barely even a month since Legends

-The graphics and fps are just as terrible looking as Legends

-The starters are all ugly or underwhelming

Why are people even excited for Pokemon games anymore? Literally just going to be another soul less rush job. Fans really never learn, do they? I swear Pokemon fans have the absolute lowest standards of any Nintendo fandom.

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are my two favorite games of all time. I can't choose between either of them. It's like apples to oranges.

I just lump them together now, especially seeing how Majora's Mask was originally going to be an expansion to Ocarina of Time. They were supposed to be one game, so I think it's a fair point to like them equally 😏

Super Mario Odyssey isn't even the best Mario game honestly. I don't know why people care how high of a score it has on a website that merely collects reviews arbitrarily from random gaming websites. Literally who cares?

Nintendo can f**king suck it. I'm emulating all of their old games and they're never going to get another dollar from me when it comes to digital games. Physical from here on out and I'm also never going to rebuy an old game again. They don't deserve money for that sh*t.

Thank god for emulators and fans who actually care about preserving gaming history.

Sorry, but there are no differences. They literally just drag and dropped the exact course and assets from a mobile game and put it into Deluxe.

Probably one of the laziest things they've ever done. You'd think they would at least update some of the textures, but no. Only VERY minor differences. All the new courses completely clash with the rest of the games more "realistic" art style.

Will it still be fun? Sure I guess, even though none of the new courses will have anti-grav sections either. But I can't get over the minimum effort put into this DLC. I'm more blown away that people have just given up and accepted that Nintendo can just be lazy now and half-*ss content because they know fans will eat up and buy anything they put out.

I can understand it being removed from the Switch...but Steam? Steams full of literal porn games so why was this removed? Seems like an arbitrary decision.

That's westerners for you. Sexual Japanese ecchi spooks them enough into removing it, but sh*tty western porn game with a plot about getting laid is A-Okay. Nice

Remember kids, emulating and pirating is morally justified when it comes to Nintendo games. They prove time and time again that fans have a legitimate reason to do so.

At the end of the day, they're just another company that cares little about consumers and more about the billions of dollars they can make.

This movie looks absolutely TERRIBLE. This looks like it should have been a Roger Rabbit sequel but judging by there terrible humor, I'm glad it isn't.

I don't even understand why they chose Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers...of all things....to make this type of movie. Good lord...

@Arkay Really? I wasn't aware that was a problem people had with the character designs in 2. What drew me in WAS all the unique looking characters. Rex, Mythra and Pyra have a very iconic look to them but that's just my subjective opinion of course.

I can agree though that some of the blades clashed with the established art style in XC2. I thought it was a fun idea to bring in a bunch of guest artists to design them but it wasn't the best method for having a coherent look.

Did they change character designers or something? These characters look really generic and bland to be completely honest.

Please make it happen Nintendo. PLEASE. Mario RPGs are dead now. The Mario & Luigi series is dead. Paper Mario hasn't been an RPG or good for years. We need another proper Mario RPG

If only this were real. I'd buy it in a heart beat. This actually looks so good!

I hate when fantasy settings, JRPGS in particular, are defaulted to British English. It's so stupid and I hate hearing it. It's one of the reasons I can't stand Dragon Quest localizations
