Easily the worst OST of the three. But I guess it had to be added at some point, eh?

I own Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii but no guitar controller. Is this product for me? Probably not.

@masterLEON @Mario500 Yup. I don't know about the others, but I have Vs. Super Mario Bros. on my Switch.

First I've heard of any backlash over the character design. I highly doubt that's the reason we haven't seen a sequel.

@nukatha I think that was the number of attempts with conditions for the blue dog optimized. Earlier in the video it was stated that there are over one quadrillion possible dog races. So even with very generous estimates on the number of dog races run worldwide since this game was released, it's still very unlikely that the blue dog has ever won before.

Watched this last week. Very fun video.

The quiz said "console," so I naturally ruled out the DS. And now I found that handhelds are technically considered consoles, apparently, but no one uses the word that way.

@JSC016 The clunkiness just makes the junk that much worse, doesn't it? Scroll down a couple rows, have to wait 3 - 5 seconds for them to load, and then it's nothing but zero-effort ripoff titles.

Tried one out at a Wal-Mart back in the day. So at least I can say I've played a Virtual Boy, even if I never do again.

@Not_Soos I don't think the Catholics have gotten over Luther yet.

Thought this was on there already. At least the absence of Dire, Dire Docks has now been rectified.

@DiggleDog I read "click" as "lick," but now it's too late, and I'll be disappointed if there is no finger licking in this Direct.

Can anything in a post-credits scene really be considered a spoiler at this point?

Now I'll be disappointed if the Switch U 360 doesn't let me have Bowser peeking over the top of the dock.

I actually kind of love that trailer.

I'll get Antonblast sooner or later...

@mereel Same thing happened to me. Weird. My save state was still there, though.

I'll replay my Wii copy unless I can get this one for really cheap at some point.

I don't care for the CG music box, but the European version gives me little reason to vote for it with its "let's see how many images of Wario we can copy-paste" approach.

I'll give this another shot when it hits NSO.

ALL HAIL KIDDY KONG

Ugh, that's a shame.

I won't complain about having one more system to play Tetris on.

No Tactics Ogre? Oof.

Gotta play Antonblast, bit I STILL haven't played Pizza Tower.

@Bolt_Strike I largely agree with you, except for your first statement: "We know exactly what those people are thinking." Maybe you do. I don't know. But there are a LOT of people who think they understand Trump's supporters but are wildly off the mark.

Doesn't make his supporters right. But you can't deal with someone you don't understand. There's a lot of unhealthy polarization in this country right now, coming from both sides, and it won't get any better until people learn to talk with one another.

@HeadPirate Yeah, I get you. I was agreeing that it's important to understand people and their motivations. And, to your point, you can't really reason with someone if you don't know where they're coming from, either.

@HeadPirate I have Facebook friends posting after the election how they can't believe that half the country are hateful, evil people, and I'm just thinking, maybe if you took some time to understand their views and concerns you wouldn't assume they're all hateful and evil. You wouldn't agree with them, I expect, but you'd at least understand them.

(By "you" I mean my Facebook friends, of course.)

Whoa, we're talking politics on here now? Wuuut?

I was kind of hoping it was just a Sonic 3 cart with movie-themed box art and label.

I've had DQVII for 3DS sitting on my shelf for years now, but I've so far refused to play it till I've played the ones that come before.

@Dom_31 I haven't even played it, but I knew exactly which DLC they were talking about before I clicked the article. It's a pretty big deal.

@AnonyQ People get irrational when it comes to DLC. I mean, there are still people who act like it's unethical to begin working on DLC before the base game is on store shelves.

@Servbot_EJ There's one dirt cheap on Steam, though it lacks Episode 6 and Keen Dreams.

Waitasec, that isn't Commander Keen.

To me, the Mario & Luigi games are characterized by their tedious combat, long-winded characters with unfunny dialog, and annoying, sometimes revolting, character designs.

I finally played Superstar Saga recently, and one thing that really stood out to me was the all the ugly character faces with their ridiculous expressions drawn across the top of every building in the town. It felt like a sad attempt to convince the player that the game was funny when it wasn't.

Hoooo that Japanese box is ugly.

@marandahir That's a little different, then.

You'd assume that anyone concerned about spoilers would avoid watching streams of the game, but maybe that makes too much sense.

NSO retro games are great, but online play for new games is lacking, especially in Smash. So I'm torn as to whether online is a "good value." (I've been a subscriber to the service since day 1.)

@batmanbud2 I think you are, haha.

Banjo-Tooie babyyyyyy!

Though I've also had a slight hankering to get back into Slay the Spire this weekend.

I didn't even know I wanted this. Time to queue up some Wooly World.

@LadyCharlie I want to be sure I understand you. Are you saying the grifters are accusing the "woke left" of being responsible for the so-called censorship in XBCX?

@mariomaster96 11 people! I just played it a few weeks ago, and it's great!

@sketchturner Hard to answer. I normally view stories in games as motivation for what I'm actually doing in the game, as the stories are usually not very good in and of themselves. XBC has a decent story and XBCX's is a little worse, but the story beats at least helped me understand why I was going to this place/fighting this dude/searching for this whatever. Not sure how well that would work if I'd skipped the stpry entirely.

Still, the XBC games definitely place gameplay above story, so you might still enjoy just battling and exploring the world. The combat system is very good.

It's not Justin Wong, is it?

@Smackosynthesis I'm more flexible on "classic rock" but "oldies" stop in 1970, haha.

Ollie, my man. Classic rock, metal, and prog? We should swap notes.

DKCRHD comes out in 2025, not 2024. (I read that and thought, wow! How did I miss it?)
