I'm still on version 1.1.2 which has the extremely easy duplication glitch. It allowed me to max out all the costumes. I never got the unbreakable Master Sword but I guess I still have the easier method available to me if I ever feel like getting it.
Just how big was that bra for them all to fit? Switch cardridges are really small I know but 350 of them. And shouldn't there be something else in the bra as well? ...I'd better stop asking questions.
A few days ago I got Yugioh LotDLE (Konami game) at 90% off for around 6 bucks on the eshop so I'd advice anyone to just wait for a good sale on this one.
It makes sense to me. If the developer has some bad publicity around them Nintendo wouldn't want that to affect "their" game. Also, they don't want the game to seem "lesser" because it's made by a third party. Selling it as just another Nintendo game is the safest thing they can do to avoid any controversy and to keep consistent branding.
Battle League Football is the most disappointing game I've ever played. It feels like it was made specifically to insult me personally. It's the only time I've ever regetted buying a game.
I beat Snake Rattle 'n' Roll and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The first half is fine but the second half is pure hell even with rewind. The final boss is actual torture.
Waking up to this message today sure was something. I don't really even know the guy and only happened to back Eiyuden on a whim, but reading this message had me tearing up.
These sales are always so annoying because for some reason the shovelware games appear high on the list. Like I don't understand why "Hentai Girls" would show up before Sonic Mania. The eShop needs a massive rework on the Switch 2.
For this it's definitely King K. Rool. That had me shaking as much as the screen was shaking during the lead up to that. But my actual favourite trailer is "Everyone is Here". Nothing will be able to top the sheer emotion I felt seeing Pichu on the screen.
@PersianZSR No, I want them to sell it to us like they did with the BCP. Have a season pass each year that adds new cups and characters. But do it from the start instead of waiting 5 years for it like Deluxe did. Basically build the game around the concept of DLC so that new content can easily be added without being limited by arbitrary restrains such as the cup selection screen not being able to have space for new cups or character costumes not being a thing.
@Paulo But if Tour is MK9 that would make it the sequel to MK8 right? So it should have tracks from MK8 which it does not. Instead it's the other way around. MK8 has Tour tracks and refers to it as a past game. There's a reason they ported all the Tour tracks to MK8. It's to have them in a main Mario Kart game. Tour is not Mario Kart 9.
Mario Kart 9 -16 Nitro Tracks -16 Retro Tracks -Elimination based Battle Mode -Mission Mode -A good starting roster -New and unique items possibly tied to characters like DD -Constant DLC until it's time for Mario Kart 10
DLC includes -Every Mario character ever (yes that includes WarioWare) and crossover characters -Every retro track -Brand new tracks and crossover tracks
That should about do it. Obviously the game needs to play well and feel different enough from MK8 with even better visuals.
This ranking doesn't really make sense to me. It should be either about the songs themselves or about what they do, not both. Bolero of Fire shouldn't be anywhere near the bottom song wise but based on what it does it makes sense for it to be there.
The Water Temple is great. It's only annoying because of having to swap the boots, which if you don't know where to go you'll have to do a lot. But I love it's atmosphere and music.
Pretty good list but all the different versions really clutter it up. Also Link's Awakening DX being below the original doesn't make any sense. I think it would be better if all the versions were grouped to only list the best one.
XD is my favourite Pokemon game so I'd love for these to come to Switch but unfortunately I don't see it happening. Their existence is barely acknowledged by TPC.
The potential for a new game in this series is huge though. Double battles are the official battle format for competitive, yet the games are 99% single battles. Having a game be fully about double battles while using current mechanics would be such a nice change of pace and actually help more people get into VGC.
This is a remake. People saying otherwise don't know what they're talking about. A remaster would be the same game with enhanced visuals, not a fully remade game. Comparing it with FFVII Remake is also wrong as that's not even a remake.
I have a launch year Switch so if everything can transfer over I'll mod the old Switch without having to worry about messing up anything on my main console.
@dartmonkey I never said anything about ruining the game. I didn't intent to come off like I was attacking anyone so I apologize if I gave off the wrong impression. I understand it didn't actually affect the score and was put there as more of a joke. Still having something listed as a con it's not strange to think it might negatively affect the score at least in a very minor way.
To be honest, my inital comment was more of a joke as well and I didn't mean to make a big deal out of this. I still stand by my opinion though that complaining about a characters voice (something they can't change, well they could but you know...) when there's 50 other characters to choose from is a bit silly.
@Rioichi sure but it's still stupid. If you don't like Funky's voice, just play another character. This is like that person that said Nabbit ruined Mario Wonder for them.
@Munchlax I love them both. If only one could make it I would have picked Diddy but I'm glad they both got in and Funky is a more exciting addition to me.
@progx reviewing something you dislike is strange indeed as it puts you in a negetive mindset from the start. In this funky case though it's a nonsensical argument that's completely subjective to the reviewer. It has no business being part of the review and affecting the score.
I've been following NL for 9 years now and never made an account, but having Funky Kong as a negative is going too far so I had to make an account to show my disagreement.
