I've only played a bit of the game as I haven't had much time. It took some time to get used to, and even then I didn't fully know what I was doing, but it's pretty good. I think with a group of friends it could be a lot of fun, but I don't know that playing it solo is that great (Kinda like smash I suppose, although I don't mind solo mario kart)
I don’t plan to get the game (at least as of now, maybe I’ll change my mind) but I have to say Meta Knight is really great. Might get that one just for the collection
I know a lot of people are hating on Bowser Jr. (at least from what I've seen) but I personally really like both his design, and voice acting. We'll see how it goes, but he might just be my favorite character if they do him right
I mean, I don't love it, but I don't hate it. I do think this movie looks worse with still images than it does when it's actually playing and moving. Who knows, maybe it'll look better on the big screen
It's peak, it's so peak. All the haters just gonna hate more, say this is just slop and whatnot. (For the bit, because they haven't actually played the game themselves) Pokemon is back, if gen 10 is anything like this, it'll be fantastic. Already pre-ordered, can't wait!
(If you're one who hasn't gotten this game yet because you see all the people online hating on it, give it a try. They just don't know how to have fun and most of them haven't played it before, they just say they don't like it cause they saw someone else say they don't like it. It's fun to play, and much better than whatever SwSh was. You never know, you might just find yourself drawn back into Pokemon like I was)
You know, I always enjoy watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I've felt like it's slowly been going downhill, maybe that's just because I've been getting older, so it's lost a lot of the charm that it had for me as a child (It sure seems to be targeted towards the current children's age group) But this is really cool.
Also crazy that this is the 99th one, maybe I'll try and go for the 100th with my family 🤔
It's been clear it's been needed for the last few games, but I really think Legends Z-A stands out the most. Cut scenes feel empty. And surely it wouldn't be that hard to find people to voice-act for it.
While I would enjoy it if the whole thing had voice acting (perhaps that you could toggle on and off) at the very minium we need voice acting for cut scenes. I'm truly guessing Gen 10 will have it. It's time
I pre-ordered my physical Switch 2 edition back at the end of July. Only reason I waited so long was to see which store I wanted to get it through, both to get it the soonest, and for the best pre-order bonus. Ended up going with Best Buy. Really looking forward to this game! Probably gonna stay up stupid late Thursday playing it 💀
Kinda surprised Kirby wasn’t a launch theme, so cool to see him added. Hope this means we’ll see some more in the future (although I’ll probably stay with the Zelda one personally)
Ngl I've been so busy, and with Pokemon and Silksong coming up, I kinda forgot about Metroid. I think this could be a fun one, but giving us some more time too would be nice. That being said, I think it's coming out early December for the holidays.
Having some horror games to play, like Resident Evil and Silent Hill would be awesome. Red Dead and Fallout would be really neat, and I would certaintly pick them up if they did that. Marvel Rivals would be great, although I'm sure they'd have to cut the graphics down some so it can run fine in handheld mode.
But the biggest one I'd love to see is Halo. One of the only shooter games I've been a fan of. Fortnite and COD just aren't nearly as good
@Tempestryke As Renan said above, you can patch the things that are unnecessarily draining battery. Happens a lot more with your phone than you might realize.
A longer battery life over all would need a new set to be manufactured. Like the og Switch got a new batch after a few years with an improved battery life overall, and I think something with the screen? Or storage? I have the old og one, and no problems there.
They can definitely fix it, they just need a good few hands to test it out and see what needs to be fixed. Bugs are expected early on🤷🏻♂️
It’s been pretty low, yeah. Right now I either keep it plugged in at the top (with battery caped so it doesn’t hit 100%) or play docked🤷🏻♂️ Once more people start getting their hands on their console, I’m sure Nintendo will send out a patch that helps battery life a bit
I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t really tested how you get the game chat to work, but I assume you have to be friends with the other people, right? So chances are you know the people you’re playing with. Sure you could friend randoms and chat with them, but I’m guessing 9 times out of 10 a game chat is between people who know each other. In that case, there’s absolutely no reason it should need a censor.
If it’s random people, sure I can see why you might not want to have to hear randoms cussing (or saying who knows what) or showing off things you don’t want to see, but at that point just don’t game chat with random people, lol. Idk, maybe it’s just me but I don’t feel like it’s a big deal there isn’t a censor, and in fact think there shouldn’t be one.
I stayed up a good few hours trying to pre-order one. It paid off though, and I'll be picking mine up here in just around 6 and a half hours. Going with Mario Kart for now, and going to play some of my backlog. Might end up preordering the new DK. The new Pokemon looks good too, but I might wait a little for that one
Calling it now, they’re saving a few things for a big (maybe free, maybe paid) update in a few months to try and pull more people in. Things I expect to see are 200cc, (or higher) more battle modes, more characters, (justice for Mii😭) and maybe a few surprises here and there. It’d be smart if they do it right. Otherwise people will complain saying “oh look, another unfinished game Nintendo rushed!” But I think World will be popular enough people won’t think so. But we’ll see
Everyone’s talking about MK8DX, but can we talk about Mario Odyssey for a second?? It came out in 2017, and is still selling today. I know it’s probably because of the Switch 2 upgrade, but wow, I thought everybody had it at this point, lol. Feel like it’s always on sale
@JPEGMakima Well I suppose it comes down to what you think has been said that is hateful. I would say that we may not always like the truth, but that it isn't hateful, but rather "offensive." (In that you can take offense to it, even when there really is no reason to) For example, if I said I didn't want the Rock to play Ronald McDonald in a movie, you may take offense to that, but there is nothing hateful about that. This is the same thing. Something that you may take offense to is not always hateful, just like truth.
@JPEGMakima Well, if truth is something we've come to decide is "unnecessary hate," then it's quite a sad world we live in. Yes, some of the now taken down comments could be considered hateful, but the large majority were not. Simply a different opinion
I think this would be a bad idea for several reasons. Also don't think this rumor is true. A lot of FANS want Hunter as Zelda, doesn't mean Nintendo is actually looking to even pick Hunter.
If Nintendo wants to acually make a great movie, AND not die in the box office, they'll pick someone else. I'll just leave it at that
10 years?? Golly I’m getting old. I remember playing the global test fire having no idea what to expect, but absolutely loving the game. Here’s to another good 10 years!
It's long been rumored that Zelda would replace Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure in Orlando. And Pokemon to replace The Simpsons. Even with Epic Universe opening, that's still what I hear is in the talks, but I get why it would make more sense elsewhere. Guess we'll see
Imagine they actually add an online feature, not just you playing against bots. That’d be pretty funny
But in all seriousness, I could seem them doing some skins of the updated versions of characters. Interesting this game is still getting updates, guess it still gets enough traction
After some hassle I was able to get one. Only took a little longer than it should have, but it worked out.
I know it's a lot of logistics, but part of me wonders if they could do store-specific servers on some of the sites. That way you don't have to worry about the whole site crashing. coughcoughTargetandGameStopcoughcough
I've hardly touched ANY game all year. I've meant to pick up some of the backlog I have, but I've been pretty busy. As long as Mario Kart World and the new DK don't take up all my time, I'm hoping to try and clear it up a bit over the second half of the year. (How are we already nearly halfway through 2025??)
You know, I actually don't mind it. The teeth are a bit odd, and the pot belly is a choice for sure, but I really like the more cartoony style. Works way better than Donkey Kong imo

Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online

Professor Layton would also be awesome, loved playing that back in the day.
And who knows, maybe we'll even see Marvel Rivals get the port the devs keep talking about (like that's ever gonna happen)
