I still can't believe that when they talked about this in that Presents, they said something along the lines of "we want to give Pokémon fans something to look forward to when they wake up" or something like that 😭 they know their target audience for sure
Rock Pikmin is my GOAT look at the little scrunkly the scrimblo bimblo he is the perfection I love him so much he is peak character design just a little guy
Ridley skewers people through the gut, Villager attacks with an axe, and Kazuya has his whole assortment of painful-looking attacks. They could work Mortal Kombat.
Hoping the next Nintendo console is a disc-based, non-portable system with a cart reader so we can be done with this nonsense and still keep backwards compatibility. They should still run the Switch as a portable console.
If only they would drop all their biggest Wii/Gamecube games like this. I would pay 30 bucks without hesitation for Mario Strikers Charged, Super Paper Mario, Smash Melee, Twilight Princess, etc.
I don't play Pokémon Go anymore, but I tried using my Pokéball Plus at a Go Fest. In the first 5 minutes it failed to catch a Shiny Dratini and it fled.
@-wc- Lego set pricing is all over the place, especially with licensing.
For example, there are some Lego sets out there with 2,000+ bricks for less than $125. Now Lego Pac-Man comes rolling around with ~2,600 pieces for nearly $300. I agree with some of the other comments. You can buy an 3/4 scale Arcade1Up cab that actually plays Pac-Man for the same amount.
Heck, there's an officially licensed Metal Slug 3 arcade cabinet from a Chinese Lego alternative for 80 bucks on Amazon with ~1,500 pieces, it has just as much functionality as this and looks better too. Goes great with my Neo Geo Mini on my shelf.
I held off on the NES and the Atari for the price and the fact that I am more of an arcade guy than a console guy, but this looks cool especially with the rumor that it will be fully controllable/playable.
Actually, I just picked up the Pantasy Neogeo Metal Slug 3 "Lego" set to satisfy the building block arcade urge for about $70 on Amazon. This will look great next to it.
I've gotta say, aside from Mega Man, the only Sega games I've touched are arcade ports. Strider, Virtua Fighter and now Street Fighter. Pretty nice to have.
@TheBigBlue I prefer the force unleashed as a star wars game but republic commando is a GREAT feeling Star Wars clone game. Need to finish it on Switch.
I haven't emulated anything in a while, been buying the official rereleases when possible but dang it really makes no sense to me.
All Nintendo has to do is port games they own with emulators they already have. They would make so much money for practically no effort. Instead they drip 1 or 2 retro games a month for a $50 annual subscription (which I ended up buying anyways for Mario Kart DLC, but still).
The van is really cool. The fact that it opens up AND comes with Mario made it an instant buy for me at Gamestop. Especially for ~$15.
I also preordered the Walmart Super Star Steelbook. They wanted to charge $7 shipping since it wasn't $35 so I threw on a $5 eshop card. Looks WAY better than the Best Buy one.
I greatly enjoyed it. Yeah, some of the transitions and lines got old, but the soundtrack was great, and there were plenty of tense moments. Pretty good movie to hold me out until Mario on Wednesday.
I think it's a great game that had its support cut off a little too soon, but the genre just isn't for me. Maybe I'll give the DLC a try now that I'm technically paying for it...
I've only played the FFVII series of games but I'm still loving Final Bar Line. Such a great song list, and it's yet another rhythm game for my Switch.
Feels like a much better Melody of Memory. I wish MoM had an option for circles instead of that weird combat thing, because Bar Line does the RPG elements excellently while keeping the traditional rhythm game layout.
Would it be unrealistic to hope for FFVII Rebirth DLC??
The year is somewhere in the late 2000s. Little ol' me got a Wii for my birthday and a couple of crappy games. Pajama Man Sam was one of them.
It was just one of those simple point and click adventures, about this kid who's scared of the dark.
So I play through the game and get to the point where the final boss (Darkness) is on the other side of the door. Problem is, the door is guarded by two magical trees who give you a quiz on the past environment you've encountered.
The final question was something along the lines of "what did the sign in the mine say." It was referring to a sign, in the mine. That I explored earlier. I knew it said DANGER because the other answers were the obvious silly ones, but it never worked! "Whoops! Wrong answer!" The trees would reply, as they shook me upside down.
I tried the other two. Nothing. Me and my dad used the internet and nothing. Hours upon hours, trying and trying. I could never get the door to open, and I would never know what Darkness looked like.
Flash forward to about a year or two ago, I'm going through my old Wii games and I find Pajama Man Sam. Figured I might as well try again with my quest for the elusive quiz answer.
My save point is at the trees, of course. I answer the quiz, exactly as I remember, and then the mine question comes up. I select DANGER, and surprise! It doesn't work.
At this point, I'm still stumped. I decided to leave the final area and actually backtrack to the mine. Go through it and yep, the sign says DANGER all right. I click it to interact with it, and the little prompt says something about the quiz. I return to the trees and select DANGER...
It works.
All I had to do was to backtrack to the sign to read it and interact with it to prove that I had seen it. My jaw literally dropped to the floor, and I turned off the Wii. I put the disc back into the case, and the case back into the box.
I will never let myself see what Darkness looked like.
@Hero-of-WiiU I love playing most of the Gameboy games on the service on my Lime GBC, but they don't feel as good on a Switch.
Kirby, Zelda, Gargoyle and Mario are kinda good, but the whole charm and fun of a Gameboy game is playing it on a tiny, non-backlit, scratched up screen. Kirby Tilt n Tumble is going to be cool when they eventually release it.

Re: Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Scores A New Chrono Game Update Next Week
@nessisonett If it helps, you can actually ignore the diagonal inputs since it will register the two directions on each side.
So a diagonal up left can be done by pressing just up, or just left. That made it easier for me, at least.

What is the point of DLC being this quick? Wave 4 not 4 months after the game is out is quite fast.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch DLC
I didn't know that Captain Toad had more content on Switch, maybe I need to find it on sale.
For Smash Ultimate, there are actually 12 DLC characters, including Plant, since FP2 has 6. (You could even count Pyra/Mythra as two for 13).
Just figured I'd be that guy.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online Game Boy Advance Service March 9th
These articles finally get me hyped somewhat since I finally subscribed lol.
Great that the GBA is getting more games at a nice rate. Even with just 6 games it's my personal favorite of the 6 consoles available.
I've never paid attention to it before, but in the trailer, Fusion was the first of the next games they showed. Wonder if Kirby is next.
