Re: Fan-Made "Mega Maker" is Releasing Next Week

DreamyViridi

Just watched the trailer, it all looks fantastic. No doubt a ton of work and effort has been put into this.

Since childhood, I always liked making levels. I would draw ideas up on notepads, I played Super Mario Flash all the time in my teen years and of course, I love Super Mario Maker. Here's hoping the game's release goes unhindered.

Re: Video: Updated Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Trailer Aims for Top Gear

DreamyViridi

Well, for those who skipped the Wii U and have a Switch, MK8 Deluxe will be fantastic brand new experience.

For those, like me, who played the original; we already played through 90% of that same fantastic experience. When you did buy MK8, you got almost 3 years of enjoyment out of the game up to this point. Is that not enough? If you don't care for the new features, that's fine but no-one's forcing you to make a purchase. (Actually from a business stand-point, how would they do that effectively? Would it be worth it for them as a company? Food for thought.)

Re: Paper Mario: Color Splash Makes Modest Japanese Chart Debut

DreamyViridi

@ottospooky - I can definitely respect that. I've beaten Colour Splash and loved it, though I played the game with a blank mind. I didn't really think of the other games, just what this one offered and it made me smile and laugh multiple times!

Try not to let the lacking RPG elements bother you too much, there's a fun game in there.

Re: Poll: As The amiibo Collection Hits 100, What's The Current State of Play?

DreamyViridi

Everyone's talking about the integration of the amiibo in games and I'm just sitting here appreciating the figures themselves. A lot of the amiibo are just very pleasing to look at and as Nintendo memorabilia, I'd rather spend the occasional £10 for one than, say, £200+ for a movable figure. I'll admit that I got caught in the hype at first but I'm happy with my 30-something collection. So while I'm more or less done with the craze, I get one every now and then.
As far as I'm concerned, what they do in games is just a sweet bonus.

Re: Review: Mega Man 7 (New 3DS / SNES)

DreamyViridi

"Worst Mega Man"?
Please, 7's a fantastic game. It's, imo, one of the more underrated Mega Man games. Sure, upon its release, it came at the wrong time but that doesn't make the game itself any less fun. Does it?

Re: Let Yacht Club Games Know What Game You'd Like Next

DreamyViridi

Dare I ask what Shovel Knight's Blue Shell equivalent would be if they tried a karting game? Heh.

I'd be cool with any of the platforming options. Though a Mario (& Luigi) RPG type game would be cool with Shovel and Shield Knight. Imagine, on enemy attacks; you have Shield protecting against attacks from above (A button) and Shovel using a Charge Slash to counter head-on attacks ala M&L's Hammer defence (B button). I'd love to see something like that.

Re: Guide: Which Version Of Fire Emblem Fates Should You Buy?

DreamyViridi

And I'm just sitting here with the special edition on my shelf. Heh.

There's still the question of which to play first though. I personally will play Birthright first; going by what I've heard and with Awakening and Sacred Stones being first FE experiences. I've since been playing through Fire Emblem GBA (awesome game so far), and I think that will prepare me for Conquest when I get to it.

Re: Three New Titles Have Been Added to the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle

DreamyViridi

I can't believe I ignored this the first time. Even though I'm not really interested in most of the games here, you just can't say "no" to this kind of deal.

Went ahead and put down $10-worth; almost a dozen games for £6.88?! I almost feel bad for getting so much while paying so little.
EDIT: My 3DS has next to no space left; so I'm saving the 3DS codes for later. I might upgrade to a New 3DS. Do the codes you get have a expire date of some kind?

Re: ​Talking Point: What Would You Like to See From Pokémon Sun and Moon?

DreamyViridi

Gen 5 is my favourite of the Pokémon generations, as it was the one that got me back into the series in a big way. I even went back a generation to enjoy HeartGold. The Gen 6 games have been OK to play through but after the main game's done, I rarely do anything else with them.

Trainer Customisation, An engaging story, Meaty Post-Game content.

If Sun & Moon had those, and be a bit like Gen 5 without blatantly copying the generation; I'd be happy.

Re: The Game Boy Advance is Now 15 Years Old

DreamyViridi

Still got my GBA SP and it's still going strong. Had a ton of fond memories with the handheld. I know that its sound quality wasn't the best but that never bothered me, 'll never forget all of the games I played on it.

15 years... [sigh] Feeling old intensifies.

Re: Smash 4 Receives Yet Another Patch

DreamyViridi

I'm surprised by this new patch and I am happy that the game will still be getting balanced every now and then.

I use Corrin on a regular basis and I'm happy that Counter Surge has been looked at and changed. I don't really agree with the speed nerfs though.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Favourite Mario Spin-Offs

DreamyViridi

@Ashthearcher - Oh I know, (Does that game have an EU release date? I don't think it appeared in our Nintendo Direct.) that game is continuing with the Mini-toys mechanic though. I meant another Mario vs. Donkey Kong that was like the GBA games, as puzzle platformers with Mario himself

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Favourite Mario Spin-Offs

DreamyViridi

Looks like a fair Top 5, I'm surprised and happy that Mario Maker made the list. A shame that Mario vs. Donkey Kong didn't make it; wasn't expecting it too but DK '94 and the first M vs. DK were fantastic puzzle platformers. Hopefully, one day Nintendo gives that formula another go.

I also love the Paper Mario games (all of them!) and the Mario & Luigi games but the Paper Mario fanbase's reactions to recent events is sad and off-putting. At least the Mario & Luigi games are still on full force, I kinda prefer those anyway!
