I like that Reggie still has fun even when answering his least favorite question, i’m 95% sure the original commenter was pulling his leg, so this was all in good fun.
Though it wouldn’t surprise me if there actually were still people pestering him for mother 3...
I think it’s easy to see this as spelling doom and gloom for gamestop (i agree they’re not doing too hot) but we don’t fully know what Reggie’s plans really are. The gamestop board position kinda came out of nowhere so i wouldnt be surprised if he just has plans to jump around, help some companies out, and then move on to the the next thing. If he stays in his other positions for a longer time, then yeah gamestop’s history lol.
You would think keeping things simple and “chibi” like the originals would give them an excuse to really go all out with the overall aesthetic and polish, but to me it really seems like they just wanted to keep these games as cheap as possible. Feels like such a wasted opportunity when the originals had so much charm and such a magical atmosphere.
I swear i’ve seen this footage before, i remember seeing that opening star world area and the megaleg fight in a video before galaxy even came out and thinking that there was no way the game was real because it just seemed way too cool
I honestly starting thinking this game would never come out. I’m really excited but looking back the only thing they really had to show was a cool style/story premise. I’m a little unsure if they can deliver but i’m willing to take the risk just to see what exactly i’ve been waiting for this whole time!
@Luminous117 the beginning's pretty fun, not gonna lie, but once you get past the 3rd or 4th gym the effort and quality really takes a nosedive. It's honestly shocking and was so disappointing to me.
I miss when nintendo controllers would actually last... i’m still pissed off about my pro controller drifting when it’s never once been a problem i’ve had with any other console.
I can’t for the life of me get mario to throw his hat downward In the air with the pro-controller. Most other moves work fine though, just not as well as the joy-cons
I’d love a werewolf but for some reason the feet make me think it’s some kind of monkey-like mon. It looks like it’s using it’s “thumb” as a kind of heel
The cynic in me is worried nintendo might one day feel like spending so much time and money on great console games is pointless when they can make an exponentially higher profit off of gacha-type mobile games that take significantly less work to create.
On the other hand, the game's pretty fun! And I feel like Nintendo isn't so shortsighted that they'd bail on what makes them so loved.
They're at their best when they put making experiences before making money
I'm not buying it. The fact that Forces was basically just Sonic Generations: bad edition, really doesn't give me much hope at all.
Unless Sega has some great, fully-realized, and handled with professional polish game in the pipeline, I don't really see what Sonic Mania has changed besides making us all certain that sonic was waay better before 3D and showing that sonic team has no idea what they're doing anymore :0
@Nintendo_Thumb oh really? That’s cool. I always just assumed it was only in the joycon since there arent really any times you’d be using motion controls without the joycon being used or attached to the system (that i’ve seen anyway). Thanks for the tip!
Duh? Labo VR is not in any form nintendo embracing VR gaming as the next thing. It's just a little side-venture, as much as Labo itself is. I would be genuinely surprised if we saw any support outside of what will be included in the box. The most feasible thing I could see happening MAYBE, is them allowing VR support for youtube or something.
If Nintendo actually wanted to do VR now, they would make an actual headset and really push it. This is probably the best we'll get with the switch. Because although it can kind of work with VR like we see here, it wasn't really made for that intention at all. Case in point, if it was, there would likely be motion controls in the system itself and not just the joy-con :0
I wonder if it'll be one of those remakes where you can freely switch between old assets and new ones! From the looks of how it seems to control I think it could happen!
@Steve_Bowling Any word on if World of Light has co-op in it? Playing Subspace with my friends was a blast so I'd hate for it to only be strictly one player
@RunGMhx that might make sense but i’m pretty sure it’s something else besides the controllers since they specifically said they would talk about the special offers more later
Nope still not convinced. I’m gonna hold off for a while.
And why hasn’t nintendo even revealed the “special offers”? If that’s a selling point it makes no sense to not tell us if they’re trying to convince people to buy into their service.
I bet Ninty is purposely waiting to reveal the special offers so they can adjust whatever it is to try and entice more people to join. If tons of people join now, then they won’t have to try hard with the offers. If they don’t get a good amount of subs they’ll likely be more inclined to make the offers more worthwhile or maybe even improve the service.
Personally I loved Hollow Knight like crazy. The art, atmosphere, and gameplay kept me hooked the whole way through.
finding new areas always gave me a rush and i never felt like it was toooo difficult. I went into hollow knight having 100 percented metroid fusion and beating all the c-sides in Celeste so the exploration, trekking and difficulty never really bothered me. Honestly the Soul Sanctum was one of my favourite parts of the game since I loved how foreboding it felt and the difficulty took me back to being younger and worse at games in general. Getting through it was so gratifying and probably one of my favorite moments in a game in a long time.
If i ever got stuck (which happened a few times) i would just comb over the map and look for areas I hadnt been to yet that seemed to lead somewhere. I can see how that could be aggravating for some people though (especially when you travel all the way somewhere and find a roadblock you cant get past yet). But I loved the world so much I still had fun with those parts.
I definitely recommend Hollow Knight and can’t wait for more dlc (i havent even beaten the current dlc stuff yet haha)
Day one, baby! This is an amazing game. It’s so beautiful, customizable, and surprisingly deep. 22 hours in, not even done with my first playthrough and already want to do it again
@Blizzia cool, thanks for seeing my point. I’m actually not 100% sure what non-binary means, but doesnt it basically boil down to being ‘not 100% one or the other’? I think it’s basically just a more specific way of saying ‘other’
@Ryu_Niiyama I think it's just baffling how big of a deal people let it be (enough to make you completely stop taking a survey??) I saw the option and didn't give two hoots about it besides an "oh okay."
I've been on both sides of the fence when it comes to this kind of thing and know some people personally who have been through a lot.
It doesn't need to be a big deal, and seeing a bunch of people so offput by a choice so as to not take a survey they planned to in the first place really just struck me as surprising.
Yeah it's not the point of the article, but that's my point.
It wasn't the point of the survey either, so why let it stop you from taking it if you were going to?
(but then again here I am "arguing" on the internet, that's not gonna accomplish anything)
@JHDK Come on. There's a difference between people who flip out over pronouns and people who genuinely feel mislabeled.
While I personally don't think I need some special label, and don't entirely understand where people who do are coming from, I'm not going to mock those who respectfully ask to be called a certain thing.
The world's not black and white, and it's stupid to make this a bigger deal than it is.
@Heavyarms55 i feel like the show is pretty aware that a few of the “heroes” don’t really act like it (just look at Stain’s motives and how they acknowledge he is sort of right). I’ve only watched the anime so far with my college buds (we love it) and I feel like they’ll definitely give some nice character development and address that stuff eventually if not soon.
I appreciate funny memes now and then, but don't you think this is pushing it a little bit for this site?
The nipples were alright , and while I don't personally care about this, I can easily see a bunch of people getting upset over this "story" being here.
I'd barely even call it a story. I saw like... one(?) post about this on twitter a week ago.
The games always start off crazy easy because it's not about difficulty. For me I just personally love the music, cool themes and chill times Kirby brings to the table. Plus most games have an original villain/final boss and I love seeing what HAL can cook up next. They are surprisingly really good at coming up with legitimately sad backstories that you can only find via playing through the game's harder modes (true arena, EX mode, meta-knightmaer, etc.). The game's are easy, but there are a lot of things to catch your interest if you like depth.
PS- Planet Robobot's True Arena was brutal. Actually. It took me upwards of 15 tries to reach the secret final boss, only to lose and have to try a bunch more. Wicked challenging and fun.
I liked Despicable Me, the first one. I went to see Sing last year though, expecting at least a good time and JEEZ! It was one of the worst movies I've seen. Absolutely the epitome of the film expecting you to care but being incredibly lazy at actually making you care. Not to mention the tired concept, unoriginal jokes (the pig was basically the three little pigs from Shrek) and boring story. It actually felt like it dragged on forever and my friend and I both wanted to leave halfway through. We didn't, but I kind of wish I had.
They should do an update in a few years and call it the Super Switch. Backwards compatible and all, with the entire library and everything. I love the switch so if Nintendo just sticks with it and eventually makes it better I'd be fine with it. Imagine how incredibly huge it's library would be!
@subpopz there's really no incentive, unless you're an xbox fan exclusively, that's microsoft's problem and by the looks of it they don't really want to fix it.
@NoxAeturnus yeah exactly, I have no reason at all to want to buy an xbox now, I'm just saying this approach doesn't seem like it will help them at all with this problem.
While this sounds really cool for gamers, it also sounds really... stupid(?) for microsoft. If they did this they'd be removing a LOT of incentive to buy their console at all. And why use xbox live on a windows pc when I can just use Steam? I don't know it kind of seems like they're grasping at straws. I feel like they'd be better off just trying to come up with more system sellers, but who knows, maybe this is a good idea?
@Fake-E-Lee yeah anytime a game comes around that looks like it "scratches" all the right spots I pretty much fall in love with it. I haven't felt like that in a while and my brain's been itchin'! I doubt we'll see anything tonight but at least it's coming!
@Fake-E-Lee I agree with this 100%. I know next to nothing about the game but I love the art and metroidvanias so this is like a dream game for me. Bring on HollowKnight!
I still can't believe how many people haven't brought up/realized that Kamiko is basically a knock-off Hyper-Light Drifter. It's kind of a really big off-putter for me personally seeing how shamelessly they ripped it off.
