Re: Activision Blizzard's Bobby Kotick Will Step Down Later This Month

JR150

He'll probably be leaving on a gold parachute and a slap on the wrist, but at least he will never be able to hold any influence over the gaming industry ever again.

The rest of the new heads sound much better suited for the job. Hopefully Acti-Blizz will start treating their workers with respect again.

Re: WTF: What Exactly Is This Switch eShop Garbage, Nintendo?

@Nuclearpineapple
Don't count on it. Remember the Wii days filled with low-effort, motion-control-infested garbage?

Shovelware isn't going anywhere. It's been around for a long time and I don't think it'll ever go away. As long as devs are out there able to make lazy asset flips, there will be shovelware. Just look at Steam.

Re: Freedom Planet 2 Switch Release Delayed To Spring 2024

JR150

While I understand delays are necessary sometimes, I have to wonder what's really going on behind the scenes. It was meant to come out Summer 2023, then pushed to Winter 2023, and now Spring 2024?

The game is already fully playable on PC so I'm wondering what's really happening. Is there an issue with the publisher?

Re: Fortnite's Dev Really Wants A Crossover With Nintendo But Hasn't Had Any Luck

JR150

It's a shame because I would love to have Byleth, Dimitri, Shulk, or Pyra/Mythra in Fortnite but it'll never happen due to how stingy Nintendo is. I would do anything for a Monado pickaxe.

Imagine how cool an event themed around Mario or Pokemon would be? Imagine grabbing mushrooms and shells to throw at enemies! Imagine a Pokemon-catching event inside of Fortnite itself! Imagine a Splatoon crossover where all the guns get replaced with splattershots and then Splatoon does a splatfest centered around Fortnite (build mode vs zero build for example).

There's so much potential for fun Fortnite content if Nintendo were willing to play ball. It's disappointing that they aren't.

Re: Pikmin 4 Picks Up Best Sim/Strategy Game At The Game Awards 2023

JR150

I loved Fire Emblem Engage and don't play Pikmin.

With that being said, I'm happy for the Pikmin fans. Fire Emblem already has awards from TGA thanks to Three Houses so I'm okay with Pikmin taking this one since it hasn't won anything before. FE has already had its TGA spotlight so now it's Pikmin's turn.

And regardless, Nintendo still won either way lol.

Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2023 Is Baldur's Gate 3

JR150

Nice to see Pikmin 4 win an award. I was bummed when Fire Emblem Engage didn't win but then I remembered Three Houses won Best Strategy and Player's Voice before. Pikmin has never won an award before so I'm glad it got something.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Celebrating 5th Anniversary With New Spirits

@Not_Soos
There's way too many spirits for them to reasonably add descriptions to them like they did with trophies. It'd be a lot of work to implement and translate into various languages such as English, Japanese, French, Chinese, and so on.

It sucks but I completely get why descriptions aren't a thing. Besides, we can just use the internet for this stuff nowadays anyway.

Re: Video: Where Does Mario Kart Go From Here?

JR150

I think there should be a single-player story mode in the next game with deeper customization that includes things such as stickers and paint jobs. I also hope they bring over the various costumes and outfits from Tour and maybe make more original tracks with the lap-change mechanic like the Tour tracks in the BCP.

Also please give us more than two Bowser's Castles in the next game...

Re: My Little Pony-Inspired Release Them's Fightin' Herds Ending Active Development

JR150

Words cannot describe how sad I am this is happening. TFH was such a unique fighting game with a focus on 4-legged characters and the story mode was really interesting with RPG-like mechanics.

But knowing that it'll never be finished and we won't ever know how the story ends is just sad. Part of me wishes they didn't bother with it in the first place...

Re: F2P eShop Title 'Omega Strikers' Ends Development Just Months After Launch

JR150

I really loved this game for how original and fresh it was but I guess most people just aren't interested in it. It's a shame. Kudos to the devs for keeping the game playable at least.

I just hope they make a story-focused game such as a beat 'em up or RPG next. Characters like Kai, Ai.Mi, Asher, and Rasmus have such interesting storylines that I want more of in some capacity. Hope they can salvage it for a new game.
