I could care less if Dark Samus is an Echo, I was so hyped when I saw her show up. I haven't had a proper fix of Phazon in ages. I am proud for the years that I have maintained abstinence, but with Smash Bros, I might as well overdose.
I must emphasize just how much I adore the 3DS. For its great games and altogether versatility. However, I think it is time that they focus their marketing on the Switch. Being both a home and portable console. Not that I have a bachelor's degree in economics or whatever, I'm not even in college yet-- I think it would please consumers if the primary focus be the Nintendo switch and dishing out quality titles for it.
The 3DS had a fantastic run, but please N, time to move on.
Very much deserved. Have it downloaded on my Switch. I think Sonic 2 is still my favorite for originality's sake, but this is an extremely close second. Just too dang fun.
Holy crap, Metal Sonic! I thought the boss battle was already a delight, but this just makes it all the better. Also, the Metallic Madness into Titanic Monarch transition was just lovely.
I'm not sure about their emphasis on bringing back the glory days of Sega to the modern age. Too many times have I seen Sega try to tickle the nostalgia glands and it is more like performing brutal rubs on said glands. I wish they would work towards putting effort into modernizing their franchises and dishing out new titles.
Lol, if Sega were to make another console, then their only be a button and stick, you know for recent Sonic titles.
...........Obviously I'm kidding.
I'm in the camp that thinks Sega should reside with other consoles. I think they should devote time towards trying to repair their franchises, like, you know, Sonic, before even considering stepping back into the console game.
...and I just realized how contradictory I sounded when I said I'm not much of a competitive player, but I still play Smash Bros. I should be hitting the sack anyway.
I probably have no logical involvement here seeing as I'm not much of a sports guy or a competitive player, but after playing Smash Bros, I think anyone that has the strength of a baseball bat can do more than some soccer ball on fire or whatever. That's just me, though.
I don't know if there will be anyone looking at the comments here anytime soon, but I'll share my opinion anyway. I'm not sure if I like classic Sonic all that much. My problem involves the core objective of having to work towards gaining the speed and being rewarding with it for doing what it takes to master the physics. I play Sonic games to go fast and get a white-knuckle, fast-paced joyride of a game, but when the classics make me work to try to gain that thrill, it just doesn't appeal to me all that much. Obviously, I know that there will be many disagreeing with me here, however I think I prefer the approach of most modern Sonic games in which the exhilarating speed is given to you up front and the challenge is to be able to maintain said speed by quickly reacting to obstacles. The boost formula games need work done to them, but I'm really hoping we can actually get a good Sonic game that executes the Boost games' ambitions well.
Oh man, I've been suffering from a rather prominent reading block as of recent. I think a good read for a video game franchise would bring me back. I would kill for a good Metroid book or maybe even a Smash Bros book which poses a similar story to Subspace Emissary. That Zelda book looks pretty tasty as well.
Don't have the time to check our the video now, I'll watch it an hour or five. I'm guessing that spin-off's are going to make up majority though. It would be a difficult endeavor (maybe not) to craft a list of top 10 main Super Mario platforming games. If this is what it is, then props to you Alex and (if I actually read the article) rabbidluigi.
Haven't had a chance to play this one. I played DKCR and what a barrel blast it was. It was actually a challenging platforming game. I'm looking forward to the Switch release.
Mario's throne of bricks is bad enough, but what is up with Bowser's tounge... This going to be an obscure reference, but That's part of his Koopa genetics his embarrassed of... Remember in Super Mario Sunshine when Shadow Mario stuck his ludicrously elongated mouth muscle at Mario... Or you know, It's just a funny gag and I'm reading too much into it.
To be honest, I seem to be going through some video game block. It has been difficult for me to settle upon a game that I can enjoy for more than 15 minutes... I try to get into something, but then the appeal kind of fades after a bit. Anyone else?
That's cool (no sarcasm intended), but how about an HD remaster of Super Mario Sunshine for the Switch. Heck, I would take it on the 3DS at this point.
Far from my favorite Zelda sound track (TP thanks to to that energetic attack the boss tune), but there are some decent tracks in there. Especially the moments when you team up with the Champions' descendants to battle the Divine Beasts. See, I'm kind of torn on music in general. I prefer music that complements on on screen action as opposed to trying to listen to a good song. But that's just me.
As neat as that is, how about a life size one with moveable legs and a massive laser pointer... Obviously you'll need special eye gear to protect your eyes from the laser... Perhaps a stereo that plays a dramatic piano solo within it.
Don't get me wrong, I think number scores are an important thing and give a statistical measure of how valued a game is, but they shouldn't be the most prominent feature in reviews. I think the written and informative aspect of the reviews out to be emphasized instead of the scores. I'm not saying the number should go away, but maybe make it a more subtle feature, if you know... That's the correct usage of the term. I think it's important to know how
exactly the content holds up via thought out opinion and information. Try to keep one's own opinion in mind in writing review and not the number that the game deserves. Anyway... My little rant.
So I recently woke up and I was watching this half asleep. By the time the creepy bodiless head of Mario presented itself on Teaches Typing Part, I was, well........ Awake.
On a side note, if they want to try and eliminate the turn based formula and waiting around in Mario Party, then maybe they should adopt a racing style game, where you are always playing and maybe setting traps or something to slow down opponents. Running through a minigame block or something will trigger a minigame and the winners in said minigame could get bonus spaces. May not work well for split screen play, but ideal for online/wireless play. Idk, just a thought.
Daruk had a very good voice. I think it replicated my imagination of what a Goron voice would sound like. Otherwise... It was alright. (I'm tempted to compliment Revali's voice work too, but I couldn't do that to the... Uh, fandom)
Oh man, the nostalgia. I remember playing uh... SART on my Wii U a while back and boy it was a lot of fun. I wish Sega could dish out the kind of quality they have for these racing games for their Sonic games. Many may disagree with me, but I feel like a tradtional Sonic game could play well as a single-player racer-style game with racetrack like level designs. That's just me though
