Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?

FlyingDunsparce

I've only sampled a little bit of each game so I can't really score them yet but two things stood out to me so far.

1: 3D Tetris is one of the most boring games I've ever played.
2: Mansion of Innsmouth is a hidden gem. The gameplay is very chaotic and fast paced due to the time limit but the survival horror nature really suits the VB and makes for an immersive experience.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 5 Pokémon?

Worst generation of Pokemon. A consequence of limiting the deck to new Pokemon only was that they ended up making a whole bunch of cheap knockoffs of gen 1 Pokemon. It has the biggest dex but most Pokemon feel bland and uninteresting.

Anyway I'm picking Genesect.

I was gonna vote for Turtwig but then I remembered Shaymin exists so had to pick that. It's the one event I actually managed to get in Platinum by literally pushing my DS against the router. That's the only time I've ever managed to connect my DS to the internet.

Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked

I'm getting a bit annoyed by all the people complaining about this. Game preservation doesn't have "definitive" versions of games. These are the GCN versions of these games which are unique from any remasters. MP2 for example is supposedly more difficult than the Trilogy version that I played. So I'm very excited to finally be able to play the original and experience the difference myself. I would of course love it if we got a remaster in the future but that has nothing to do with the game being added to NSO.

Re: Arcade Archives Celebrates 500 Retro Releases With Special Commemorative Game

I remember playing Space Invaders on my calculator in school.

Honestly pricing is an issue with all of these ACA games. There's so many games I'd like but can't justify spending 8 bucks on. I think I bought 5 total with 4 of those being on sale. If it were 2 or 3 bucks per game it would be so much more affordable and I would go on massive buying spree. But as it is they're all just passing me by.

Re: Is Mario Kart World Getting Donkey Kong Bananza DLC? Datamines Have Fans Speculating

@Markatron84 yeah I know about that, but like you said that's still a mess having to scroll through that. There's two easy ways they can fix this.

1: have a costume sub-screen under each character. This makes way too much sense so I'll accept option 2: first have all the characters in order, then after that all the costumes in order with the x-button swapping to the current layout of having all the costumes appear in order alongside their character for easy access.

@KayFiOS the character select screen in World is the single biggest problem in the game. Like it's incomprehensibly bad. There is absolutely zero logic applied to it at all and I cannot believe Nintendo thought it was okay to send the game out like that. Like even if we accept that costumes get their own character slot, that still leaves them in a completely random order with actual characters randomly mixed in with them.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Difficulty Settings Revealed By Nintendo

FlyingDunsparce

I just want to say I love unlockable difficulties. Prime games have always had this and it gives you a reward for beating the game that also invites replayability. If all the difficulties are unlocked from the start it feels less special to play hard mode and it takes away that reward for beating the game. Besides, Metroid games are literally designed to be played multiple times so if that's a complaint this might not be the right franchise for you.
