@Archius9 yeah I wish they would stop completely replacing the boards (and minigames and roster) in each game. Just keep building up on each other and reach a ridiculously amount of boards/characters/minigames; in the style of Smash Brothers.
I play regularly with my nephew, and having to jump to 10 different games every time it's really boring.
@mlt my God thanks for saying that. I was so surprised to see almost nobody ever talking about it.
That games would have been ground breaking if it wasn't an absolute joke. I played the entire game without ever getting any power up (collectibles aside) other than the base mushroom and it was still a joke.
I would replay it instantly if they added an harder mode. Such a wasted opportunity. It felt like I was playing on auto mode.
@Yosher It would be nice if people were like this, but I really have never seen a racist change his mind because of a punishment. If anything they get even more racist. Or in the best case scenario they just keep themselves from saying anything in public.
I love Xillia. Gotta buy this day one if it happens. I completed it 100% but never got around to play the story a second time with the female protagonist.
I would absolutely love to enjoying it again so many years later.
@YourDaddy If I remember correctly, that Trilogy is completely on it's own and not related to the games from the Sky series and forward. But I might be mistaken.
Played the first Sky and Cold Steel on release, but then kind of got distracted with other games, and now I just don't feel like catching up, honestly.
Maybe if they do a collection of the 3 Sky games and 4 Cold Steel on Switch 2 I will get those and slowly catch up
Always loved this. But when I replayed it on 3DS VC I found out that it was extremely Easy. I had found way to make a point to every CPU after a couple of hit, as their AI is kind of dumb and can't follow you if you do certain combination of moves.
@RupeeClock How is Clive and Wrench? I know it got bad reviews, but I realized that critics reviews of collectathon games really cannot be trusted, most of the problems they always have with the genre is something that has to do with them not being the target audience.
I also dislike how they keep on trying to define the entire genre as something intrinsically old that should be made more modern.
Not trying to be mean here, but I feel like the author of the article have not played the game.
Saying that the japanese one doesn't represent the game is wrong, in fact is quite the opposite. The EU one make you think you're going to play a game about Mario, while for the 99% of the time you're in the RPG mode doing mission and stuff with the characters in the Jap boxart.
Just wanted to share how much I hated Sora Reveal trailer. Everything about it made it feel like it was gonna be Dark Souls. And then out of nowhere comes the Keyblade.
As a Remake, a 9/10.
It's literally perfect in every single way, except for the lack of an Harder Mode for long time fans of the original.
I really feel like it such a waste not to include that, the original is Easy and this remake is even easier.
I really don't understand why they keep adding an Easy Mode in these remake, but not an Hard Mode
Hoping for some kind of hard mode in a future update, because, while being good anyway, this was probably one of the easiest Nintendo game I've ever played
@mlt haven't played this since release. But is the Goldoba the Airship where you have the Boss Battle against 2 people of the Empire? Because god I Remember being stuck there for a more than a week or something trying to beat them, and you couldn't get off it to buy stuff or cure yourself.
I thought I had to start the game all over, but after countless attempt the RNG God blessed me with a victory.
@Magician Me too.
Already played the first one but skipped the second. So I'm not going to catch up to the rest of the series until they make Cold Steel 2 available.
Loved Undertale, but taking the same time it takes to develop a AAA game with hundreds of people to make a 2D RPG it's really ridicoulus no matter how you spin it.
I always lose interest in games when they take ages to come out.
I feel the same for Silksong, for example.
Also guys, just a reminder, you can be happy about the game and being a fan, but also be critical of how the developments is going, no need to be harsh towards anyone making a fair criticism.
@MrGawain I agree soooo much on that.
This was such a disappointment.
The overall game is so ridiculously easy.
They added hundred of useless frills that just made the game slower and more boring... Just give me cool maps to battle on with smart enemy placement and hard difficulty.
No overworld exploration, Quest, Generic battles etc...
In Spark of Hope they even eliminated ranking after a Battle (getting 3 stars in every Battle was the best part of the game) and now characters can't hit each other when they're near.
They also eliminated 1 skill per character for some reason.
I don't know what happened, this felt such a massive step back from the first game.

@HatesCheese oh I totally missed that.
Yeah I Guess that's kinda out of place by modern Zelda standard.
Re: Random: Zelda Fan Project Turns 'A Link To The Past' Into Roguelike Dungeon Crawler
@Cronodoug I think you're talking about the third Sword upgrade, wich has a red blade. It's not blood.
Re: Lon Lon Ranch Potentially Spotted In New Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Footage
Ok, I understand that Nintendolife got to make news to generate traffic, so I guess I'm staying off this site until I beat the game.

It's sad to see so few comments here. This game is a real gem. Beat 4 times already.
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Art Team Highlight Laylee's New Fluffiness In Remaster
Honestly I prefer them not fluffy. It make them lean too much into the realistic style.

Re: A Bunch Of Classic Mario Party Minigames Are Seemingly Returning In Jamboree
Man, why don't they also keep the board from Superstars? They could just add and add without completely replacing them.
Anyway this Mario Party looks Amazing, can't wait.
Re: Review: Bakeru (Switch) - Good-Feel's Carefree Platformer For Goemon Lovers Makes It To The West
I would usually wait for a phisical. But for a game made just like Goemon, and from the same creator, I want to support it as much as I can.
Re: Poll: Tomba! Special Edition Is Out, But Have You Been Able To Play The Thing On Switch?
@Uncle_Franklin I think I know wich cave you're talking about. It's the one behind the waterfall? It always crashes there for me as well.
Fortunately it's just a shortcut for another location so it will not hinder progress. But still annoying.

Re: Soapbox: 20 Years After His Last Mainline Appearance, Tingle Deserves A Comeback
@Yoshi3 One of the most absurd choices for me in Botw and Totk was not having iconic characters like Malone, Talon, Ingo, the Windmill guy etc...
I was certain that with a massive open world they would have put as many recognizable characters as possible...

Re: Nintendo Strips Team Jackpot Of Splatoon 3 World Championship Win
@Hck Yes, I agree with you. They're behavior is unacceptable, but it has nothing to do with their skill in the game.
They won and they should get the prize. I would have understood if they had been disqualified from any future event
Re: Rumour: 'Tales Of Xillia Remastered' Switch Release Spotted Online
I love Xillia. Gotta buy this day one if it happens. I completed it 100% but never got around to play the story a second time with the female protagonist.

Re: Here's A Closer Look At The 'Echoes' In The New Zelda Game For Switch
@Jack_Goetz I honestly think the dungeons and overall puzzles have becomes so bland since BotW.
I mean, when you can solve a puzzle in 900 different ways and every single one of them works, is that even a puzzle anymore?
Re: Surprise! Shovel Knight's Original Adventure Is Getting The Deluxe Treatment
How long are they going to keep milking this? At this point I'm not even interested in a sequel anymore.
Re: 'Yooka-Replaylee' Brings Back Playtonic's Love Letter To Banjo In Remastered Form
Loved the original and it was 100% what I wanted from a spiritual sequel of BK.
Still I wanted a new game, but nice that they're trying to bring out a more polished version.
Re: Corn Kidz 64 Brings N64-Inspired 3D Platforming To Switch This Month
@flighty 10-15 hours is totally fair and a good amount of hours.
Re: Corn Kidz 64 Brings N64-Inspired 3D Platforming To Switch This April
I'm always interested in this kind of games, but they always last a ridiculous amount, like 1-2 or max 3 hours at most, with everything.
I don't pretend to have a 40 hours game, but at least something that I can feel like an actual game and not a glorified demo.

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess Manga Series Is Getting A Box Set
@Bratwurst35 The most interesting part of the Twilight Princess manga is that it's 11 volumes, while the other Zelda were 2, or even 1.
They were basically just a novelty for fan of the series.
But with 11 volumes you can definitely make justice to the original story and maybe even add a bit more to it.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess Manga Series Is Getting A Box Set
What, 129$!?
It costs 5.60 each where I live. How does a poster and a cute package almost double the price!?
Re: Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Reprint Revealed As Limited Run's "Final 3DS Release"

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2024
The fact that we still don't have Dark Souls 2 is beyond absurd, to be honest.

I'll probably get that.

Re: Random: Valve's Gabe Newell On Game Delays: "Late Is Just For A Little While, Suck Is Forever"
@Vexx234 yeah when a game keep getting delayed, many time is also for mismanagement of the project, more than being late or needing more time.
Duke Nukem Forever or FF15 comes to mind as great example for this. Even Strafox Zero had problems and well, it turned out pretty mediocre.
Btw, No Man Sky, FF14 and Cyberpunk higly disagree with Gabe statement. And there's many others too.
Re: Random: Nintendo Is A "Wonderful" Place To Work If You're A Genius, According To Former Employee
@Chinesus pretty sure that the people in charge of the online infrastructure has nothing to do with the development teams.
Re: Random: Nintendo Is A "Wonderful" Place To Work If You're A Genius, According To Former Employee
So if you're good at your job is a good place to work.
If you're not good, then it's not.
Understandable.

Re: Review: Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure Of Dai - A Dismal Adaptation Of An Excellent Anime
I feel like the score doesn't really match with the review. But at least I got a better picture of what this game is about.
Btw pretty much 90% of the review talks about the way the story is told, it would have been nice to know more about other aspects.
Still not gonna buy it, as I don't like that missions structure for the story.
Re: Kuro no Kiseki Coming West As 'Trails Through Daybreak', Out 2024 On Switch

@Elira well that's probably means they're making a sequel I guess.
