@TripleJump I've mostly completed the Road Trip already but the problem is the checklists only unlock titles, decals and such. Nothing really worth doing IMO other than doing it for the sake of doing it
It's good. Solid 7. I've put maybe eight hours in so far and I've beaten the Road Trip twice, once on Hard and I've seen the true boss and ending. Ive unlocked all courses in Air Ride and Too Ride and I'll have all of the Riders next time I play. I kinda just lost all real reason to play already. I can easily win against the harder CPUs and I don't play online at all.
I kinda just feel like I'm missing something or something to aim for.
If anything, Persona 3 pioneered the Fool having all Personas accessible. So really y'all should give credit where it's due. It really was unheard of at the time
I uhh... Don't think people should play this. It's just not good. There's a reason why Nintendo didn't talk about this before release. Even if you just don't pay attention, you have a fifty fifty chance to find the Shadow. It's as shallow as a kiddie pool and absolutely nothing like Fire Emblem. The concept would be interesting if it were an ACTUAL Fire Emblem game. But they are just utilizing the hype of the next main entry to get people to drop money on this junk
At least FE Heroes had the feel of FE, even if it was scaled down
YL wasn't a bad game. Just.... Rough. I was a backer of the original game on KS and never played more than the first world. It just never felt polished.
It would be great if it was brought to a proper level of polish, but I still have doubts it will ever soar to the levels it should have
It's gonna be a huge waste of time, isn't it? I kinda expect it to be something like more Pokemon music going to be on Nintendo Music now and some BS mobile game.
My Switch has seen better days. I've been neglecting to play it because I'm afraid it will cease to function by the time Switch 2 arrives. Every time I've played it over the past 6 months, I've heard the fan inside rev up ridiculously high and struggle. Now I've heard music cut out during games while the fan isn't running. I don't wanna risk it being dead before I can transfer my data
It's a billboard You don't really pay attention to it so it's not surprising that it is low quality. Doesn't look off or weird or anything. So many people are so obsessed with AI that they make it seem like everything they don't like is AI. It's annoying
I got my email today But I already secured a Walmart preorder with guaranteed launch day delivery. So I guess I will let that lapse because my friends don't game or don't buy new stuff. Too bad I don't have the extra money to buy a second Switch 2
People are so tone deaf about this whole economic crisis here. Complaints about the price completely miss the point And now Nintendo is even second guessing if the $450 price can even do it. This isn't price gouging. I really hate this level of ignorance.
They just request. It's not that you can't, based on the verbiage here. I think they know people are gonna talk or else there would be a bigger deal made about this in an explicit NDA
I have given up predicting. I have hopes they will have their announcement blowout this month and the next six months until launch is just a lot of information. But not once do I expect Nintendo to do anything that makes sense
There could be simple categories. If I'm looking for a monster, I shouldn't have to scroll through all of the furniture to find a boomerang mobile. Just pick one of like six categories on a radial menu and then scroll through the limited options.
My ideal situation would be that the successor is backwards compatible. Then I can finish the likes of Moonstone Island and Fire Emblem Engage when I have lulls
But I've been ready for a new Switch for about two years now. Fiance is really ready for a system that doesn't struggle
Ok. I love me Chibi Robo. I have wanted a proper sequel for decades now and the weird side projects were an insult. But this looks a little too similar to the original game, even for being made by the original team. Like... It literally looks like it was made for the GCN. A little janky and really dated. I hope they plan on modernizing it a little bit. You can have love letters and still be updated.
What is being factored in? The game is already made and no more work is being done. So why is the product going up in price to account for inflation? If the game were still in development, I can see setting the price slightly higher on release, but this late in the game seems money hungry. If you can't coast on the sales of your one game, make another one bro.
I still haven't finished Three Houses, and I'd feel guilty about jumping on this with that still unfinished but I'm currently playing Persona 5 Royale too...
Kind of silly but NDAs exist for a reason. Just weird that they are so picky about a DS game that doesn't even exist?
Usually there's a solid reason for this stuff but we don't see that. This is not game preservation to just record every game idea that was ever pitched.
At least that Elite Four bug is addressed. I was getting severely irritated that that five second loop. Let's hope Nintendo slaps Gamefreak good for letting the game release this way
Was confused as I thought these were Switch patch notes but they mention multiplayer in it so I assume they are more generic patch notes. Would be really nice for my lady to be able to play with me on my PS5 but I guess that's still not gonna happen
I feel like, despite not hearing a reason for it, there has to be some legal reasons why it's not released on Nintendo platforms. Some agreement somewhere or some licensing that makes it tricky to SPECIFICALLY put on a Nintendo platform. Otherwise there's no reason why any of these aren't in the domain of Mario. It's baffling to have the side games and even Joker in Smash but not the core title
If nothing else, then they need a better marketing team because what they showed was awful. If you think players don't understand it, then that's because you did you job incorrectly
I think its a laughable notion to expect any AAA dev to port to Switch at this point. Unless you hear something about the Switch successor, I would expect anything ESVI, Fallout 5 or Starfield to just ignore Nintendo absolutely, given past treatment
I just started playing Cozy Grove and honestly, the biggest issue is that it still feels like a mobile game. Performance is iffy at best and it's kinda just a little clunky. I hope they make it a proper upgrade and not just use the existing framework
Cool. So Dlc for games you may not own is not a terribly great package. I'm sure at some point it will cross into that territory of being worth it, but every week it's still so far away. I bought Happy Home because it wasn't worth to get the expansion pack. Then by the time they offered the Mario Kart booster, it still wasn't worth it because I already bought AC DLC so I just got the Booster on its own. And now I don't have Splatoon 2....
Unless it's a new generation of system, then no. The New 3DS was a bad purchase, despite it's better specs because only like.... 2 games used it. It needs to be a sizable upgrade
I assume it was one of two higher ups that had a mistranslation rather than Nintendo as a whole not understanding it. Didn't Star Fox and F-Zero both deal with bounty hunters?
The initial Joy Con I got have had some connectivity issues for a while now, but I usually leave them attached and it's no problem. Otherwise I use a Pro Controller which still has no issues. Beyond that, the system itself is usually docked so there isn't much wrong
I usually pick water types, but I did pick Cyndaquil in gen 2. Currently, I'm wanting to believe in Quaxly, but I'm guessing I'm really gonna hate his evolved forms, like I did with Sobble. So I'm glancing real hard and Fuecoco

Re: The New Pokémon Theme Park Is Looking Rather Lovely
I wonder...
They specified this was a Kanto park. Would we see a Galar or Unova park in their respective countries?
I like the idea of a theme attraction being an actual nature park as opposed to some man made monstrosity like a universal studios thing

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Strategy Games
I would recommend Airborne Kingdom as well. Probably far more than some of the games listed here.
Re: Poll: After One Month, How Often Are You Actually Using 'Nintendo Today'?
They just don't show anything important on it. I don't really need a silhouette of Mario and then letting me know it's Mario!
Didn't they say important stuff would be on here? You'd think that in the month lead up to a system launch, they could do more.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Fire Emblem Engage?
I'm just let down with the story. It's probably the least interesting in almost 20 years.
But as for the moment to moment gameplay? Phenomenal. Some of the best we've had, even if the Engage forms look a little silly at times.
Just passed 16 hours and I'm on Chapter 8. I think it's an 8/10. Could have easily been higher if the story was worth anything at all
