Re: Random: The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Opening Ceremony Showcased A Ton Of Game Music

Loved hearing all these tunes, was just awesome. Whilst I was a little disappointed there was no Nintendo music it kinda makes sense. I imagine a big reason they were initially so keen to be involved was due to a tie in with the opening of Nintendo Qorld as well as the 35th aniversary of Mario. I'm guessing Covid threw all those plans out and maybe it simply was no longer worth the effort. Shame tho.

Re: Soapbox: An Anniversary Ode To Okami, The Best Zelda Game That Isn't

I'm actually playing through it for the first time atm. I'm enjoying it overall however there are a lot of small annoying issues that add up and hold it back. Love the art style and music, but find the large amount of slow text real annoying and the pacing is pretty bad. I even find myself skipping cutscenes just cause of how of a slog they feel. It's definitely a good game and I respect what the devs made but there's so many small annoyances that can sour the experience. I also think the comparisons to Zelda may have hurt it as it really isn't that much like Zelda at all tbh. Enjoying the game and love the many quirky things, but there were few moments where I felt I was ready to drop the game move on to playing something else.

Re: Nintendo New York Store Windows Smashed During Riots In Manhattan

Whilst I don't condone the violence and rioting, I can understand why it's happening. Years of injustice and oppression with no change brought this and it certainly doesn't help having a pandemic at the same time. I just hope after all this, real change comes along for a better society for all POC around the world. Stay safe everyone!

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

Eric258

Personally, one of the biggest reasons why I want to buy new games (despite having an unfinished backlog) is because I want to be involved in the "current" conversation. It's awesome being able to talk to a bunch of other people, fanboy and discuss stuff. I feel like you kind of miss out on all the hype and chatter if you don't pick up something at launch. I mean it was amazing hearing about everyone's different experiences with BOTW when it first launched.

Re: Feature: Talking Trade With Bonnie Gordon, Voice of Fire Emblem: Echoes' Silque

Whoa! That song is really good! Didn't play the remake since I had moved on to the switch, but man I'm glad you guys made this article otherwise I wouldn't hear such an awesome song! Also love stuff like this, getting to know what happens behind the scene is really cool. I'll definitely be checking out more of her work. But now I need a duet with both Bonnie Gordon and Rena Strober! XD

Re: SNES Classic Edition Gets Name-Checked In Xbox E3 Survey

I wouldn't be surprised if they do come out with a the SNES classic edition. Although, I would have thought they would currently want everyone's attention focused on the switch. Especially considering virtual console still hasn't been released. Anyway, here's hoping Nintendo don't misjudge the demand for the SNES classic and that we can all actually get one!

Re: Video: Get a Good Look at Byte & Barq in Their ARMS Introduction Trailer

@maceng Yeah, I get you. At first I honestly didn't really care for it. I loved the lore and aesthetic, but the game play looked kinda dull. But after playing it, it's totally changed my mind. It's a lot faster and frantic than you realize, I was really taken aback. It went from a 'meh' title to a day one purchase. Hope you get to try it soon!
