@Zeldawakening Exactly right - I’m playing MURDER HOUSE side by Side with metroid dread and I haven’t taken a seconds thought to wonder what the frames per second were on these graphically limited games because i’m too buy enjoying myself.
I am the biggest sucker for special combos and I can’t imagine spending $90 on a game where every 5th match has 7 people leaving because they weren’t the imposter - the game is a great idea if you have people to play with but jumping in the pool is a nightmare
@DTfeartheBEARD I’m assuming they’ll be even cheaper and use an 8 gb with only GTA III on it with a Day 1 patch for the soundtrack and cutscene textures
Hoping this goes the Bioshock trilogy route - I pre-ordered and paid full price for it and within 2 months it’s been regularly selling for $30 or $40, so I’ll take my time on GTA and see if it happens again
@bozz i dread the day the lithium battery dies inside my ZAMM cartridge - I won’t be able to live without Zeke and Julie.
I’d pay $60 for a physical no question. I have high hopes for Demons Ate My Neighbors but they have never relaunched the kickstarter (soon! for months)
@XCWarrior thanks! I’m really proud of her, I was like a Nintendo Bean Dad and before we bought the switch we did some play together on SNES, GC and Wii to get her familiar with games and how to play. She’s never beat Lt. Surge in Let’s Go, Pikachu even though we got it opening weekend, because she likes to walk around and play. She’s only ever logged 3 kills in Fortnite, because she likes to use her pickaxe then build and hide.
I don’t push her to beat games, which sometimes backfires as we’re playing through 3D World and she’ll wander off while I’m lining up a ground pound and change the camera angle and get me killed and go OH WHOOPS
Does anyone have any suggestions if a 6 year old could enjoy this?
(She’s played a hand at Dark Souls with minor success, beat Kirby, Odyssey, Sunshine, and 3 temples in Link’s Awakening - language isn’t an issue for us but overly horrifying gore can be - she’s not scared of Dark Souls bosses but had nightmares from the cystipigs in Outer Worlds)
@wiiada I’m so surprised at how U MAD these Nindy people are being, and I say that as a diehard Nintendo fanboy who hasn’t bought a Sega game in years - it’s just ratings, people - you still like what you like
@Anti-Matter there was a game called Wii Party that had a tank battle game that is one of the best games I’ve ever played in my life. Little wooden toy tanks rolling around, 1 shot death. The difficulty spike was immense. It was a breathtaking little achievement that Nintendo just threw onto a game that was mostly “Miis doing nonsense”
@Mana_Knight these past couple weeks have been a crazy stretch of hits - if you would have told me a year ago that a NintendoLife column would be some of my favorite writing on the web I would have been very embarrassed for you (and I love NintendoLife haha)
The best part of MM is that you know all these problems are happening in Clock Town - if you help them, you doom the world. If you save the world, their problems remain.
What does it mean to be a hero? What is salvation?
THIS GAME IS PHILOSOPHY, @kategray is right about the nihilism
@COVIDberry haha I work in tech/software management so understanding what your alignment is on some quantifiable scale is very important for your work mindfulness ETC. in the eyes of VP types
@Rika_Yoshitake Switch Pro is QAnon for people that can’t wait to tell you rhat ACTUALLY in Japan SMB2 was called Doki Doki Panic and what we know as “Lost Levels” yadda yadda
@KateGray interesting, you found desire in the two people who feel as though they are isolated from the community due to their non-traditional artistic leanings (Leah being a transplant who sculpts beautifully, lives in a fairy tale cottage on the outskirts. Sebastian as a sushi loving basement dwelling white hat who dreams of motorcycle nights in the big city to escape a well meaning but overly traditional stepfather).
Both people wish to be saved from a controlling aspect of their lives, whether an ex or their parents, but still find small pockets of trusted friends in their community to survive day to day and never give up on their inspirations even without overt support from the usual places.
That reads you as someone who feel appreciation and love for those who recognize your uniquities (fake word that just makes sense) as a strength of character and not flawed individualism, and a wish to show other people that their traits can be loved.
Also, since you mainly picked Leah because she’s cute and never sealed the deal with Sebastian, you got a little “hot girl summer” vibes, at least when dealing with role-playing fake people.
All in all, your video game character analysis is:
“Empathic dreamer who kept their chrysalis in a box even though they don’t miss being in it at all”

Re: Soapbox: Why Do People Love Games Like Stardew Valley And Animal Crossing?
@KateGray interesting, you found desire in the two people who feel as though they are isolated from the community due to their non-traditional artistic leanings (Leah being a transplant who sculpts beautifully, lives in a fairy tale cottage on the outskirts. Sebastian as a sushi loving basement dwelling white hat who dreams of motorcycle nights in the big city to escape a well meaning but overly traditional stepfather).
Both people wish to be saved from a controlling aspect of their lives, whether an ex or their parents, but still find small pockets of trusted friends in their community to survive day to day and never give up on their inspirations even without overt support from the usual places.
That reads you as someone who feel appreciation and love for those who recognize your uniquities (fake word that just makes sense) as a strength of character and not flawed individualism, and a wish to show other people that their traits can be loved.
Also, since you mainly picked Leah because she’s cute and never sealed the deal with Sebastian, you got a little “hot girl summer” vibes, at least when dealing with role-playing fake people.
All in all, your video game character analysis is:
