Re: Soapbox: Game Boy Tetris' True Genius Was Teaching A Generation How To Play Video Games

Grim

A friend and I got Tetris on our ti-83 calculators in high school and it was game over lol. That’s probably the most Tetris I played. Speaking to learning how to play video games; I couldn’t even get out of the house you start in while playing Pokémon red at 8 years old. My older brother had to show me and explain what doors looked like lol. It truly blew my mind. Also deeply embarrassing

Re: Rumour: Leaker Hints At New Nintendo Codenames, Persona 6 On 'Switch 2', And More

Grim

Yea leak culture is terrible, I would like to not know of anything till it’s announced and be surprised. People around me find it weird that I don’t like watching tv or movie trailers and just want to go in blind. Same with games. I usually try to google notbing for the most part. Someone started going off on all this TOTK stuff when it was just released and I was soooooo mad and glaring at them and they didn’t get it

Re: Splatoon 3's Mincemeat Metalworks Stage Will Temporarily Close Next Week

Grim

Lol at all the hatred for maps. Never had a problem for this one, or any for that matter. If I truly had to pick my least favourite it’s museum d’alfonsino. But really the biggest problem is for some reason, of the two map option when playing, it feels like you always just matchmake on one of them repeatedly and never play the other

Re: 103 Switch Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's 'Hits For The Holidays' Sale (US)

Grim

@IceEarthGuard can you divulge which online store you use? I’m also Canadian and don’t understand where people are buying games when they claim on this site that physical is often cheaper than digital and like day one. I feel like most of those comments are coming from the uk. But if you have a good source for discounted physical games in Canada, please let me know

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2023 - Our Most Played Games

Grim

496 hours playing switch which is actually pretty reduced from previous years. Still plenty of gaming tho. Top three is splatoon 3 at 116, persona 3 portable at 92, and totk at 82. I’ve just recently started totk again to try and just wrap up the main story but I definitely feel like the game is bloated. Would like to finish it before buying wonder and rpg but dang I don’t know if I will cause I want to jump into those Mario games.

Re: Splatoon 3: Chill Season 2023 - Every New Weapon, Stage, Feature

Grim

So happy to have the dualies with splashdown back. Was one of my favourite set ups in 2. 3 has been the better game in my opinion, and I’ve put more hours into it than I did 2. Honestly just being able to matchmake with my friends in any mode, with ease, will always put splatoon 3 way higher in my books. I’ve enjoyed the catalogues and “battle pass” esque seasons and updates. Amazing game

Re: Poll: What's Your Switch Controller Of Choice For Super Mario Bros. Wonder?

Grim

Don’t have the game yet, but down to try multiple controllers now once I get it. Only super nes pad I have is for the mini but I have the 8bitdo adapter so I can connect it to the switch. Might be laggy tho.

Really in disbelief I’m hearing complaints of y-b Mario control. It’s just so precise for never having to move your thumb but have complete control over running and jumping. And like ingrained in my brain. People saying they’ve been doing it since SMW on SNES, but it’s been that way since NES. Aren’t the an and b button “backwards” on nes to be able to hold run and jump. Feel like it’s the only way Mario is played. But what do I know I’m just another obsessive Nintendo nerd amongst many here

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Bros. Wonder?

Grim

I walked into a gamestop (eb games to me still) as I road tripped to another province to see family. I only have a Walmart in my town to buy physical games (I like buying physical games in brick and mortars because I’m weird). Saw a physical copy of Dokapon kingdom in the flesh and bought that instead lol. I’ll get wonder at some point this weekend tho

Re: Team Money Claims Victory In Splatoon 3's Priorities-Themed Splatfest

Grim

It’s a pretty fun move to pick the obvious underdog choice. You never are bummed because of mirror matches. Tri colour usually works quite a bit too because everyone is looking for that one team to make a normal match. The only time I got wins in tri colour defending and attacking was with Sasquatch I think lol. Makes it fun with lots of proper splatfest matches.
