that makes no sense.

@dew12333
This might be the dumbest thing I have ever read.

"This idea is interesting; too bad I'd have to pay the people making the product in order to acquire one."

They type from the device that they paid for...

To add my two cents; this game is the first Zelda I have played that finally gave me a reason to grind for components, lol.

That was one of the first things I noticed, and applauded the game design for. typically in Zelda games, you're swimming in resources. bombs, arrows, rupees... my inventory is always at max. in this game, i am constantly bout of bomb flowers, arrows rupees, zonai charges, you name it! and it gives me a reason to go find some, which I think is rad personally. on top of the fact that it's not always preferable to sell your gemstones, as they are super valuable for fusions, I'm all about the tighter economy in this game.

But I do understand wanting to be able to exploit for zonai parts, for those of you who are building-fanatics! I have personally been more than okay with just having around 20-30 of each part at a time, and replenishing whenever I need to, but I'm not building actual functioning combustion engines so.... y'know.

I still cant find it in me to get an Oled... As a primarily docked player, this makes no sense at all. and $360 for a screen upgrade ain't worth it.

Happy to see it! And I'm so stoked to see matt mercers full performance. the 12th cant come soon enough!

@Thenewguy I think it's to represent link's normal arm, and his magic arm. It's thematic! i think it looks dope.

I am still not sold on the switch OLED. idk, it's nice but not nearly enough of an upgrade to justify turning in my perfectly fine OG switch and shelling out $360. that said, if any edition of the OLED was going to sell me, it'd be this one. by gosh its good looking.

I will definitely be trying to snag a Pro controller though. that looks so sweet!!

Miyamoto be Cleaning out his junk drawer and sending the contents to retailers around the world as pre-order bonuses... You sick genius.

well that's interesting, looks like the tcg hype is finally slowing down?

@Bratwurst35

that's actually not true. In Princess and the Frog, Tiana had all the money to achieve her dream due to all of her hard work, then the prince came in and turned her into a frog by accident. Also, the prince was broke as a joke and was being cut off from his parents, so the only thing they achieved in the end was settling their differences and falling in love. it was a really cute story about mutual character growth.

@Astig I respect this stance. well said

@-wc- I totally agree. I just feel like this peach is an overcorrection from what she has been in the games, and mostly due to the writers not understanding who peach is as a character.
again, it would be more Believable to me if Peach ruled her kingdom with cake and tea parties and committees, than with fire and halberds

I think they could've done a better job. Cannonically, Peach is very capable, (Smash bros, Mario kart, Pro at almost every sport etc) but she did all of that without betraying her character.
I don't think peach is characterized as a "damsel in distress", she hasn't been for YEARS, pretty much just in the New Super Mario Bros line of games. That said, she has always been ultra feminine, and her character is often portrayed as a bit of a silly airhead in the games: "...oh, did I win?" (smash bros Melee) 😂 which would make for a really funny character to see played in a movie.

I think the role she has in this movie is fine, but I think they should've tried to stay closer to her in-game voice and personality. Peach is not a girl-boss badass, and being a girl-boss badass is both not unique anymore, and not necessary for her to be a good strong character.
they should have made her a bit of an airhead, who rules her kingdom with love and cake, and the toadstools love her for it and would do anything for her.
Also, they should've gotten Amy Adams to do her voice.. she would've been perfect at portraying Peach, (think of Giselle from Enchanted!).

People, stop believing that your characters either have to be ultra badass girl-bosses, or damsels in distress. there is about a million different options, and plenty of room for nuance. the false dichotomy is making all of our modern media suffer horrendously.

Definitely a throwback to the old GBA gummies they sold at blockbuster years ago... Does anyone remember those??

I received the Charizard Edition GBA SP for my 9th birthday back when Fire Red and Leaf Green came out. Still have and and use it to this day! It has been... loved. I wish there was a way to restore it to its former glory. Id post a pic, but i cant figure out how to do that in the comment section

the demo totally slaps. I've been staying updated with the goings-on of this game for a long time now and eagerly awaiting more news on it, so I jumped when I saw a demo available! the game looks amazing, feels amazing, and has an overall wonderful aesthetic. Aside from that though, the gameplay is lovely. combat is immersive and challenging, very reminiscent of Chrono Trigger and games like that, but with an active element to it. the characters are awesome and super fun to use too!

This game will be a day one purchase for me hands down.

@nessisonett

To be fair, they are still producing really awesome lore based skins and cosmetics. This is the very first time they've done a crossover like this.
my bigger beef is the cost of the cosmetics on the store. i still feel like lootboxes were a better system then what they have currently (although they have lowered prices on things significantly after fans shouted at them)

It'd be weird if I got a dog in real life and simply named it "dog" or its breed name like "Golden retriever" or "Pomeranian". Of course most people nickname their pets, Therefore I nickname all the Pokemon I on my team in game. Exclusions apply to legendaries, or pokemon that are one of a kind... but if i put them on my team and get attached all bets are off.

the English voice over for the cowboy sounded a lot like Matthew Mercer, who incidentally also voiced Chrom in the dub of FE: awakening

sincerely sad about this. I really enjoyed this game, and felt like it scratched an itch that a lot of other BR's were not scratching for me. the fantasy aesthetic, and the mechanics were really tight. I hate that Fortnite has washed yet another great game out of the market... I'm probably never going to play a BR again.

I managed to snag the Special Edition of Fire Emblem Fates when it came out... it has Conquest, Birthright, and revelations all on one physical card!

I hate to admit it, but I'm officially no longer interested in new Pokemon games... I've reached an age where the older ones have regained so much replay value, and the nostalgia attached to them puts me in a happy place that inspires me. the new games just can't do that for me. even Arceus was a letdown imo... they made so many good moves, but in my opinion failed to follow through on most of them.

this is how Pokemon Go started, isn't it? I'd say that bodes well for this game.

Im so happy ive still got all of my ambassador games too, lol!

Even without the comments devaluing the artist's signature, I don't see a reason to respect this guy or celebritize him lol. He just owns a big collection, big deal.

Just picked up Monster Hunter Rise, cuz I read that it was pretty good and accessable to both casual, and expert players. We shall see if I get sucked in... Haven't played a MH since MH4U on 3DS.

serious golden sun vibes

my first ever shiny: I was making my way up the Sky Pillar to fight and capture Rayquaza in Emerald version. I ran into a shiny Sableye on the way up, didn't know what it was but I intended to catch it regardless. I showed my older brother and he just about pooped himself in excitement, which made me jump a bit and I ended up accidentaly hitting the run button instead of the items button. Still hurts...

Later on, I ended up finding a shiny Magnemite in the Power Plant in Leaf Green version. Then, I actually ended up finding a shiny Mewtwo in the same game! So that kinda made up for the missed sableye.

Oh, I found one shiny Flabebe in Y version too.

That's all the full-odds shiniest I've ever gotten. I have few more that I've bred through Masuda Method, or gotten in trades, or chained for, but those weren't as exciting to me personally.

Genshin Impact has some of the most shamefully bad lag and stuttering issues on other consoles, namely the PS4 AND PS4 pro. Those need to get fixed before I would even consider downloading this game on switch.

@Richardwebb I agree... Though, to be fair, Nintendo hasn't really been giving them much to report on, lol

So pokemon still run behind you and can't keep up , and/or go too fast and step on your heels? Dang.

He's NOT pinin'!

been seeing more of Kate Gray's posts here recently, and i gotta say im impressed. I've found all the articles that i've read by her to be quite entertaining and/or educational!

You have a great authorial voice, Kate! keep it up

Oh NOOO I was more excited about these games than breath of the wild 2! That's it. I'm banning nintendo games from my household, this cannot stand! #boycottnintendo

Lol, pokemon has been a "chibi style" since day one, until gen 6. This just has a fresh lick of paint on that classic look. Guess people will always have something to complain about though 🤷‍♂️

@Wilforce I didn't realize the official change until this year, being a fan of HM since the Gamecube haha.

In any case, this is gonna be a hard pass for me... Natsume's lazy graphic design could hide in past gens, but this is one of the ugliest switch games I've seen all year. Story of Seasons is doing so much better.

I bought their figurine of the King of Red Lions a while back. Similar price range (I think mine was $450, plus shipping). The way they have it laid out with payment plans it makes it super easy to buy if you're willing to budget, and they hold their value incredibly well. My statue is already worth close to $700 by itself. I have a statue of Toothless from Sideshow Collectibles that I bought for $250, and it's already worth close to $2,000. So they can be a really fun way to invest too!

@Sissyrobyn996

Samus.

@ToadBrigade
He had voice acting in BOTW, he just didnt have much to say. The tone matches what was in the main game tho.

I feel like this should've been implemented from the beginning

Taxation is theft anyway. sign me up!

This is an outrage!

you mean... Diddy's Kong Creator?

Dude, this style is the epitome of 14 yo deviant art furry OC's 😂😂

I have two words for these poor babies, (ahem)...
GIT GUD

Definitely gonna snag this... I skipped a lot of the Wii U generation, unfortunately. This has been on my backlog for a while!

Definitely gonna pick this up! Never played the Wii u version, and the addition of full co-op multiplayer has me excited! This would be a great game for me and my girlfriend to play together! Especially with the added casual mode.

Ummm... This is cultural appropriation, and I am deeply offended.

Jk, this is awesome and I'm glad we're able to explore different cultures clothing in this game, that'll be super fun!

I bought a buncha multiplayer games to play with my Girlfriend, such as Captain Toad treasure tracker, Unravel Two, Heave Ho (which we are currently enjoying very much), and a couple of others. Nothing crazy, but I'm happy! Great deals!

(Also quest for the golden duck was 11 cents, so I bought that too 😅)

This is stupid.
