Who needs a reward when your playtime says 'Super Mario Odyssey - Played for 200 hours or more'? I really hope it at least beats BotW in completion time. And I'm usually the opposite of a completionist but collecting ... stuff seems to be basically in my DNA from all the 3D platformers I played as a kid. Absolutely cannot wait to get my claws on it.
@King_Johobo As in the special? It comes with the Forge Splattershot Pro, which has been added via free update a few weeks ago. Just go visit Sheldon and buy it from him.
Kelp Dome's been one of my favorites. Like the idea of Snapper Canal as well, wished the surrounding area didn't remind me that much of Mad Max with its wasteland setting. I mean, this canal could've been in Inkopolis as well.
I doubt we'll be seeing anything beyond 2017. Odyssey is a given, some last second reminders of Samus Returns being a thing, UltraSun and UltraMoon info, Superstar Saga, Pokken DX, Xenoblade 2 hopefully, Skyrim, Fire Emblem Warriors.
The Platinum Twitter has retweeted the Direct so we might get the rumored Wonderful 101 port announced (though my heart yearns for a Bayo port instead).
What would be cool is if they finally released that clown character from ARMS. Personally, I wish we'd get a first look of the next Spla2n arena.
Glad to hear that for those who weren't lucky enough to snatch one the first time around and smart enough not to buy one from scalpers. Might pick up a SNES Mini if I manage to find one then.
This makes me worry a tad for the future of VC, though, but I guess only time will tell what happens to that one.
Oh, October 5th? Completely forgot A Hat in Time was a thing. Definitely gonna check it out on PS4 then. Hopefully it won't be a mess like Yooka-Laylee was. At least I can't be disappointed - I have no expectations for it whatsoever!
If it's good, yeah, why the heck not? I mean, I plan on buying YL on Switch again so that bar ain't too high.
Midnight? Not gonna lose sleep over it. But knowing myself, I'll prob wake up around 1 AM to watch all the new trailers. Hopefully getting that Xenoblade 2 release date.
The only Mario 64 thing made by Kaze I'll ever need is Chaos Edition. Ah, good times... (and by that I mean deeply depressing and hair-pulling frustrating trying to accomplish anything in there)
No, Buckie Boo! I think I'll be able to adjust to them, though. Was real easy wiping 3 out of 4 players with that thing. Gonna update once I get home in a sec.
@Randomname19 Ah, right, completely forgot about that. Very busy with Splatoon and 3DS's been dead to me since March. I'mma try it next thing tomorrow morning.
Never had an issue with the map rotation as limiting down the number of possible arenas to 2 allows you to choose weapon (and gear set) accordingly. Plus, it lessens the blow to my stomach whenever I see Moray Towers.
Also, I'd understand the outcry over Salmon Run's limitation if the mode wasn't open every other day for at least 24 hours.
But yeah, this interview just spurred on the discussion rather than diminish it. I do agree with what he's saying but it might have helped to elaborate on a few of his pointa.
Just do a Super Mario Maker 2.0 on Switch! Add more themes, enemies, items and objects, placeable water and lava and voila, new release. Maybe do pack in a touchpen since none of the (3)DS or WiiU's work on Switch's touchscreen.
Aren't we supposed to get characters from Marth's game (forgot what it's called), too? Where are those? Sure hope that if this game ever gets an expansion or sequel, we'll see a more varied representation of characters game-wise
I'd rather see a Final Fantasy spin-off like Crystal Chronicles on Switch than a half-baked port. They wanna do spin-offs of 15, right? Just do one of them for Switch IF you're really that bothered with making a Final Fantasy for Switch. Or make a third Bravely on Switch.
Just as I posted this, an Inkling named Regalia joined. And he's got a Charger, on the opposing team. I love him already! ... and we lost. Like I said, love him already!
Aren't you a tad late to the party with this one? The game's out for over a month now and Splatfests are Turf Wars in every sense of the word.
The only thing I feel certain enough to recommend is to use Super Jumps wisely. Don't jump to enemies that are close to enemy ink or the enemy base. Also, you can super-jump back to your base to avoid being splatted. That's two things way too many players ignore way too often. I for one can pretty much count on one to two hands the times I use a super jump to jump to active members in a several hours long session.
I think Markiplier played this a looooooong time ago. Being a native bavarian, I find all the german names unremarkable whereas others who know little to no german may find it funny. The gameplay, as judging from the feint memories of Mark's video, isn't too interesting looking either. In conclusion, thanks but no thanks.
@Anti-Matter They are, at least Jessie, James and Meowth. They are relegated to occassional appearances, though, at least that was the case with XY. Refuse to watch SM.
@olrodlegacy I believe it's to keep the series fresh. Heard on Did You Know Movies that new female protagonists are included to 'give male viewers new eye candy' as girls can wear different outfits such as bathing suits. I'm not kidding, you can look it up on the DYKM episode on the Pokemon anime.
That aside, I've always found the Pokemon anime so forgettable. Digimon's where it's at.
I'd be very proud of Switch and Nintendo if the console could outsell the PiiU in less than a year. Sure hope Nintendo has enough supply to give people a decent chance of getting the console for the holidays.
@silentium All specials were replaced with new ones from Splatoon 1 to Splatoon 2. None of the old ones returned, they're all new ones with the Stingray arguably being the worst of the bunch.
Stingray!? No way am I gonna try out this piece of garbage! My buckie boo, the Tri-Slosher is all I need. Gonna check out Manta Maria first thing in the morning, though.

Re: The Heavy Splatling Deco is Your Weekend Weapon in Splatoon 2
Every time I run a Heavy Splatling in TW, we lose at the last second. Every freakin time! Also, shouldn't the Tenta Brella land instead?

Pretty busy week. Rayman Legends and Metroid physically and Kingdom: New Lands.
Re: PAN-PAN Is Bringing A Tiny Big Adventure To Switch eShop Today
For 5€? Eh, why not? Looks kinda cute.
Re: Runbow Is Coming to the Switch in Winter 2017

Re: This November You Can Finally Own A New Nintendo 2DS XL That Looks Like A Pokéball
You know what? I already own 3 3DS systems .......... I might just get this.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Hits Switch On December 1st
Yep, definitely most anticipated game of the year - yes, even moreso than Odyssey.
Re: Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition Arrives on the eShop, Packaged Version To Launch At A Later Date
This is definitely even more limited than the Switch version. Reminds me of the Vita version in a way.

Re: Review: Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS)
Admittedly I was more looking forward to that squishy Metroid amiibo but dang, 10/10? Didn't expect that, now I'm hyped for Friday!

Re: SNES Title Joe & Mac Gets the MSU1 Digital Audio Enhancement Treatment
Data East? You sure the company's not called Data Weis? Always sounded like Data Weis to me. Oh well, the announcer had probably an off day.
Got that reference, guys?
Re: Splatoon 2 Version 1.3.0 Is Now Live
No, Buckie Boo! I think I'll be able to adjust to them, though. Was real easy wiping 3 out of 4 players with that thing. Gonna update once I get home in a sec.

@Randomname19 Ah, right, completely forgot about that. Very busy with Splatoon and 3DS's been dead to me since March. I'mma try it next thing tomorrow morning.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th September (Europe)
@ThomasBW84 From what I've seen, it is turn-based. Gonna wait for reviews as I'm still very busy with Splatoon 2.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th September (Europe)
Am I correct in assuming MH Stories is Monster Hunter with Pokemon gameplay? Also Binding of Isaac physically.

Re: Nintendo Switch OS Version 3.0.2 Is Now Live
If only they stabilized their online play so people wouldn't get disconnected so much in Splatoon ...
Re: Video: Rayman Legends on Switch is Practically Identical to the Wii U Version
The single best 2D platformer in my honest opinion. Absolutely can't wait to play it on a console I actually like!

@NickOfTime90 More clicks, I suppose?
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Teaser Website Goes Live
Definitely my most anticipated game 2017 that's not yet released (yes, even more than Odyssey). Hopefully, it still makes it this year.
Re: Final Fantasy XV Director Insists His Team Is "Looking Into" Switch

Re: Kingdom: New Lands Sails To Switch On 14th September
Sweet, watched Jacksepticeye (and Markiplier, I think) play it. Looks absolutely gorgeous and I'm excited to play it on my beloved Switch.
Re: Yacht Club Games Announces More Shovel Knight amiibo
These look cheap as heck but so does the Shovel Knight amiibo. Arin's funny as ever, though.

Mario + Rabbids but gonna wait for Gunvolt's physical release later this year.

Re: Secret Of Mana Is Getting A 3D Remake, But Guess What Console It's Not Coming To
@liljmoore Fair enough, suit yourself.
Re: Secret Of Mana Is Getting A 3D Remake, But Guess What Console It's Not Coming To
@liljmoore Switch is region-free, just import it and if you're having trouble understanding something, ask a guide.
Re: Secret Of Mana Is Getting A 3D Remake, But Guess What Console It's Not Coming To
But are PS4, Vita and Steam having the Mana Collection? That's what I thought.
