Re: Guide: AGDQ 2022 Starts This Weekend - Here's How To Watch It, And Which Speedruns To Stay Up For

I 100% agree that one enjoyable aspect of video games is to explore, experience, enjoy.

I also look forward to watching a significant amount of each GDQ... my enjoyment comes from the nostalgia of the classic games featured, an appreciation for the practice and talent to perform the runs, and the general appreciation for gaming and how beneficial video games can be to a very broad, global audience.

Oh yeah, these events also raise MILLIONS of dollars for really great charities.

Lastly... I'm almost 40 years old, so it's not a "youth only" audience.

Re: Mario Party Superstars Mod Adds Bowser Jr. As A Playable Character

Not necessary or useful, but ok. More characters in Mario Party isn't a big deal since they don't have unique abilities and you can only use 4 per game... the core characters are fine.

I hope Nintendo is using the resources to add additional boards and minigames, since that will be far more beneficial to the game.

I am happy with Superstars so far and VERY glad to see the character dice blocks and allies removed, as those things broke the gameplay. Online play appears to work well...

This game is the perfect structure, now just keep adding boards and games.

Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Was Still On The Podium For Switch In The Holidays

As it should be... it remains one of the most fun and re-playable games ever made... and enjoyable for all age groups and skill levels.

When MK8 released on WiiU, my niece was 9 years old and could barely stay on the track, but we still had fun racing together. I taught her everything I could over the years... she is now 16 and we still play every chance we get... and she beats me on a regular basis, which makes me a proud uncle!

More DLC would be awesome... but I'm pretty sure Nintendo customers, in general, do not purchase DLC in a manner that makes business sense.

I would be perfectly fine with a Mario Kart Ultimate, which is essentially just Mario Kart 8 packed with additional tracks (retro remakes and/or new). There is no need for any new racing mechanics, other than possibly some additional item balancing.

If not, I will continue playing MK8D forever...

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Short Games

Gorogoa is awesome and unlike anything else i have ever played.

SteamWorld Dig is also awesome, but not sure it's short enough for this list... but it is on sale for $2 right now.

Superliminal was pretty short and pretty good.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Puzzle Platformers

"ibb & obb" is one of the greatest co-op experiences of my life... anyone with a friend who is into the genre should absolutely play it.

I tried Chariot on WiiU and it got very boring... never finished it... is Super Chariot any better?

Re: Review: Mario Party Superstars - A Party Most Hearty

Personalized Dice Blocks and Allies break the game... glad they are gone.

I have owned every Mario Party since the Gamecube Era and none have been great since that era. Hopefully this game corrects that and I will probably get rid of my Super Mario Party copy.

The best board from my memory is Windmillville from MP7, where players decide how many coins to deposit and "own" the stars allocated to each windmill. That was a great board with a lot of strategy... hopefully it makes it into the new game.

I have the original Alpaca Ball on Switch... it's good fun with the right people... I am curious what the differences are with Allstars.

The biggest issue with the original is you can't play 2v2 with two humans and two CPU characters... maybe that has been fixed?

It does not appear that Allstars on Switch has added online multiplayer?
