So I played this at a kiosk at Target the other day and halfway through the 15 minutes I started feeling queasy. I blamed it on the cable forcing me to be too close to the tv. I really hope I can play this when I get round to buying it…
Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart was the first game that would consistently cause motion sickness and I really hope this one doesn’t do the same as I’m more interested in this game…

Tetris Effect is incredible but I need to give New Tetris for N64 a shout cuz it’s the only one I can remember that had the square making mechanic and I absolutely loved that. My brothers and I played that game SO much.
Also I really liked Tetris DS with the various Nintendo game themed levels.

@JayJ yeah I really like an upper placement for my joysticks. The Wii U pro controller was great for this and also the fact that it had Nintendo style buttons meant that A and X are still the same distance from the stick which I feel is an overlooked bonus of the Wii U Pro controller.

This happened to me with Chameleon Twist. But the weird part was in that case I had entirely convinced myself that was the N64 Yoshi game. So my memory was controlling Yoshi and using his tongue to attack but having control over his tongue (it seems like a gameplay mechanic that would be applied to Yoshi in a 3D space) but no it was Chameleon Twist all along…

I just want to say… Donkey Kong Cymru is a fantastic pun

I’m glad they’re making this. I was a little upset that they only made a Nendoroid for BotW. I have the Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword Link figma figures and they’re great.

I feel like there’s a lot of focus on the visual upgrades. But there’s definitely something to the platforming that has a different tone. I felt like I got some Rayman vibes off of this. Like the “New” series felt like it was just the old 2D Mario games with modern graphics but this feels like they’re actually doing something with the flow of it.

The Bond comparison might be the best sample of this with movies. Like the OG Bond movies are great but coming out of what action movies are today: your Marvel movies, your Daniel Craig Bond, it can be a tough sell to go back and watch Sean Connery.

@RupeeClock yeah without the octagonal gate this is pointless. I want an octagonal gate on my Switch so bad.

I’m glad the votes are showing in support of the music. I would really miss it if this stopped. Fallout in particular always made me happy with the old timey music juxtaposed on the wastelands.

@booeygirl I feel the same. With some of the other ones I was pretty meh but this one is glorious.

Can I just keep using the Blizz Authenticator? Or does it HAVE to be phone?

I stumble onto fandom every now and then and it is the most annoying experience to use on a cell phone. Whether that’s by design to get you to accidentally watch the videos/ads or if they’re just out of touch thinking that the video doesn’t take up much of a computer monitor (meanwhile taking up half of my phone’s screen) either way it’s a terrible experience every time.

Something exploration heavy would be fantastic.

I stand with Ollie. Mewtwo will always be my go to for collectibles and things. It was the first ultimate Pokémon. Especially back when psychic type was wildly OP and then here was this Pokémon that was meant to be OP. I remember just going back and basically sweeping the Elite 4 with it over and over and using him to wreck most of the Pokémon Stadium content.

I have SUCH fond memories of this game. Not having had a PS1 I did not know where Castlevania had gone with it’s direction, I got this game for my birthday one year and was a little reluctant because all I’d played was Castlevania 1 on NES and Castlevania Adventure on GB but I absolutely fell in love with it and it has now unfolded into being one of my favorite genres all due to this game.

@Axecon this was the EXACT thought I had reading the quote.
Now we havv be e things like Tsareena and Lopunny that I find truly disturbing.

The perfect crossover doesn’t exi-

The difference between this and other companies using similar logos is that the other companies using similar logos aren’t making gaming consoles… I feel like that’s grounds for a lawsuit.

@samuelvictor are we talking the Goombas or the Toads not being mushrooms?
Also I think a fascinating part of the original story from the English manual is that the toads were transformed into everything by King Koopa. Like I’m fairly certain the bricks you break are technically toads.

I know OG Donkey Kong is Cranky but who is Donkey Kong Jr. did he ever get a different name?

I seem to remember this as a regular thing for the French there’s lots of computer terminology that has its own unique French word vs being a French sounding variant of the word most other languages use.

Is it me or does the “story” almost sound like it’s trolling NFTs?

This actually makes a lot of sense. Because I think anything that’s NOT Switch-like would be a huge mistake but if it’s too Switch-like you get into Wii U territory.

If I could buy Fire Emblem Three Houses with some ugly box art for $20 I’d do it.
I wonder if the strength of digital sales is impacting this. Like they could reprint a game with the Player’s Choice tag but it would still be limited vs having to also drop the price of infinite amounts of digital sales.

I played it for a little bit, got a little hooked for… basically no reason. Once I realized I was just caught in it’s loop of doing daily quests I put it down. The free-to-play elements have you hitting walls of power scaling with the enemies I remember being caught in a spot where the world was at a level that I was barely able to survive in but the materials I needed to level up required extra hard bosses.
I would’ve preferred playing on the Switch but a 2 year delay is absolute insanity.
Also I know maybe this game isn’t the place for it but I wanted a more masculine character in it, like I know the audience and I get that anime has a certain style but can’t there be someone like Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist.

@Axecon ooh I forgot about the DSi I was about to say it was the Wii U but you reminded me how annoyed I was at the DSi.

That PSP in the corner lookin’ sus.

@Dualmask but no one bought the Wii U

Edit: oh I see someone else already said this lol. Point still stands. The 3DS had a huge player base to buy it.

Shoot I didn’t realize they’d brought PAX East back this year.

Using the word dock is a bit of a stretch. Like I know what it does and I get it but using the word dock would imply that you could… dock it…

(Ugh phrasing…)

@k8sMum I was literally here to point out the same thing. Shocked this wasn’t on this list especially with Ever Oasis being included.

Yeeeeeesssss

Digital autograph? Is this an NFT thing?

@nocdaes this is the trouble I have with headphones and ear buds in particular. I really want to know what it sounds like before purchase but that involves putting it into my ear and there’s no situation where that seems okay for anyone involved.

@eaglebob345 yeah I don’t quite understand how PS3/360 era games aren’t running natively on the Switch. The only thing I can think is the cartridge space which for some games they do additional downloads. Though that’s a whole other can of worms.

@rawzeku this was my thought. If you have any sort of roommate portable is absolutely what you’d want from this game.

@ollietaro it’s because of Pokémon Go that I know he has a weird tail with a tiny face on it. And I hate it. Lol

@Silly_G please. I call it a dungeon.

@mereel well it would obviously go in the sex room.

I would love a remaster of Eternal Darkness. It’s one of the reasons I keep my GameCube around.

@Fizza post game story!? Whoever heard of Pokémon post game story!? /s
Sword and Shield made me so mad that the post game story was just a quick tour of the map and pick up your legendary doggo.

@Mykillvee this. They’ll sell more evergreens if they can be bought for $20 like they used to do. There’s quite a few that have passed me by for one reason or another and then it’s a couple years later and I’m like well I’m not paying $60 for a 4 year old game now.

It’s weird that it’s rough from a technical perspective despite having been released a year ago in Japan. I feel like the kinks should be worked out over this year.

But does it look good? I’m so torn about this game.

I don’t think it looks that bad but if it’s literally just boxing that’s gonna be the biggest detractor for me.

@Ogbert I feel like I’ve not seen an Ideas set that large though. I could be wrong but everything that large is usually with big IPs or tried and true IPs like they keep churning out giant Star Wars sets because they sell.

I think it looks too big to actually make it but Nintendo is working with Lego now so… can we please get some form of this?

That’s a lot for a single very simple Nendoroid… it’s $43 for each color separately? 3 pack might be a big ask but at least a 2 pack for that price feels more suitable.
There’s so many at a similar price point that have much more detail and accessories.

@Dizzard yeah I like how even this bot is like “this was all a lot of fun but seriously guys… Doshin the Giant 2 when?”
