@countzero @Lanmanna There are parallels to artist making game art just based on the title/genre and AI art being generated based on a similar prompt, LOL.
Of course, I will always prefer the real artists over AI. π
@Not_Soos I thought the same thing. I am hoping it is a translation or localization issue, but confiding in Cheebo that she lives with freaks was pretty harsh. π¬
Capcom has a collection of NES games based on Disney cartoons that still isnβt on Switch. What a perfect announcement that could be for Comic-Con. π¬π€
@Suketoudara @carlos82 @LikelySatan That was the theory on one of the bigger Nintendo podcasts. That it probably was made to be an extra game for Switch Sports with an upgrade fee, but they decided to just make it a stand alone game.
@jamesRainbowBoy @Hoshiko @cedarhyped For Mario Maker 3, they could also bring in things from Wonder.
My dream would be to allow us to make the 2D levels like in Mario Odyssey. 2D stages that wrap around 3D objects, walls hiding secret areas, sections with reverse gravity, etc.

Re: UFO 50 Has Been Updated On Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Puzzle fans should check out Block Koala and Camouflage.
Re: UFO 50 Has Been Updated On Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@solarwolf07 I want to pick up the strategy guide (which you can purchase separately).
As others mentioned, I think I could get into more of these games with some instructions.
I am all about discovery and playing the games now. However, it does become more of a chore for game genres I am less interested in.
Re: Round Up: 6 Switch 1 & 2 Games We Played At PAX - Here's What We Thought
You had me at cozy puzzle game. Woodo seems like it will be my jam. π
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th September (North America)
I love to read about the smaller titles released. Mechatris has caught my attention. π
Re: Review: Adventure Of Samsara (Switch) - Atari's Throwback Metroidvania Embraces Cycles Of Life, Death, And More Death
Sounds like the gameplay improves as you take the time to learn the combat system. Many things to like here including the music. I am interested. π
As an aside, the spirit of Adventure was captured in the early years by games like the OG Dragon Quest and Legend of Zelda. π
Re: Everybody's Golf Spiritual Successor 'Easy Come Easy Golf' Gets Surprise 60fps Update
I need to wrap up playing Chibi-Robo, but I think I will be playing this next!

Re: Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac Looks Waka Waka Wonderful In New Gameplay Trailer
I never finished it on GC. Maybe I will finish it now. π
Re: Rumour: Another Claim Points To A Nintendo Direct Later This Month
Mario Maker 2 with mouse controls or Mario Maker 3.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Harvest Moon (SNES)
@BulkSlash The other two are similar and are splitting the vote, unless Europe gets over 50%.
Re: Poll: When The Heck Is Metroid Prime 4 Actually Launching?
Not just the release date, announce the price too (please). π
Re: Fitness Boxing 2 To Be Removed From The eShop This November
I wish all of these games were just DLC packs for the base game, but the licensed music probably pushes the need to keep them as individual releases.
Re: Fitness Boxing 2 To Be Removed From The eShop This November
@Yalloo Hmm, Fitness Circuit is on sale digitally. I may pick that up. Thanks!
Re: Opinion: No One Told Me 'Chibi-Robo' Is Traumatising
@Not_Soos I thought the same thing. I am hoping it is a translation or localization issue, but confiding in Cheebo that she lives with freaks was pretty harsh. π¬
Re: Publisher Acclaim Is Set To Host Its Own Showcase Next Month
Very close to the Mario Direct! π
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct Is Reportedly Coming Ahead Of Mario's 40th Anniversary
I wonder if we will get some Mario Kart World updates. More outfits for DK? Bananza Pauline as a driver?
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct Is Reportedly Coming Ahead Of Mario's 40th Anniversary
I would love Mario Maker 3 to give tools for making 2D levels like those found in Mario Odyssey.
For example, 2D stages that wrap around 3D objects, walls hiding secret areas, sections with reverse gravity, etc.
A Mario Wonder toolset would also be great! Like when everything in the foreground is silhouetted and illuminated by the background. π
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct Is Reportedly Coming Ahead Of Mario's 40th Anniversary
A Switch 2 DLC pack for Mario Wonder.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (23rd August)
@Mana_Knight Talking with Telly will usually give a hint on where to go next.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Rating Spotted On Nintendo's Website
@Novuscourvous They might still be able to have a late September release of Metroid Prime 4.
However, you are probably correct. The clock is ticking and no release date given yet. It could be a December or early 2026 release.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st August (North America)
@AlanaHagues Not that you need to correct it again, but I had it wrong too. The Nintendo eShop page has it for $3.99 and it is on sale for $2.99. π
Close enough. π
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo (GameCube) - A Charming Game About An Altruistic Robot Or A Shambolic Scavenger Hunt?
@SuntannedDuck2 I own Zip Lash too. Partly for the Amiibo. Chibi-Robo is one of my favorite Amiibos and it is about his actual size. π
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st August (North America)
BURGER Shot sounds like it is a Suika-like game. Nice.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st August (North America)
@AlanaHagues Around the World Puzzle is $2.99, not $32.99. ππ
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo (GameCube) - A Charming Game About An Altruistic Robot Or A Shambolic Scavenger Hunt?
@BTB20 Yes, but only in Japan (to clarify for others).
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Finally Has A Release Date
Remember, remember the 4th of September.
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo (GameCube) - A Charming Game About An Altruistic Robot Or A Shambolic Scavenger Hunt?
@darkswabber I wonβt reply directly to an old post, but Cakes getting a copy for $10 in 2010 was a great investment. π
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Rating Spotted On Nintendo's Website
@Misima Having the rating and having a booth at Gamescom makes me think that a September release is still a possibility. ππ€
Re: Shin'en Announces 'The Touryst: Deluxe', Exclusive To Switch 2
@fenlix Agreed.
Upgrade path or discount for those of us with first game? Please?

Re: Nintendo Download: 14th August (North America)
@TimelessJubilee Thanks! I deleted my post after I figured out what game was in the thumbnail. π
I should have left it. π

Re: Mario Kart World Announces 'Summer Vacation Skill Test' Event
@ImpromptuR Fair point, but it is difficult to theme local things globally .
Animal Crossing New Horizons is one that does switch the seasons based on your geography.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week
@N00BiSH @VGFreak1225 Chibi-Robo is a cute, cozy, 3D metroidvania, sandbox game. π
Re: Captain Toad Returns In This Week's Nintendo Music Update
So roughly every week Nintendo Music is getting new tracks.
I know they are apples and oranges, but it would be awesome if NSO added content as frequently as the Music app! π
Re: Could This Mysterious Super Mario 40th Anniversary X Account Be Legit?
Either a legit Nintendo account or some user is doing a long con.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
@cyclone5uk Switch Sports is $40. A paid upgrade for Switch 2 would push it to $50 or $60. Might be a tougher sell.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
@Suketoudara @carlos82 @LikelySatan That was the theory on one of the bigger Nintendo podcasts. That it probably was made to be an extra game for Switch Sports with an upgrade fee, but they decided to just make it a stand alone game.

Re: Nintendo's Share Price Is Now Double The Height Of The Wii Era
@TrogdorTheBurninator And with the cost of the Switch 2, households may hold off on buying multiple consoles.
It will be a successful console, but probably wonβt reach Switch numbers.
Re: Tron: Catalyst & John Wick Hex Dev 'Bithell Games' Makes "Majority" Of Staff Redundant
