Re: Multiple Cartoon Network Games Have Been Removed From The Switch eShop

John_Deacon

Unfortunately, physical media is not so widely available as it could/should be. Sometimes, when I wanna play a game on launch day, I have to resort to digital media. Otherwise, it would mean waiting for God knows how long when it comes to games that aren't Marios, Zeldas or Sonics. Physical media is the only way to fight the practice mentioned in the article

Re: Don't Expect Any More Miniature Consoles From Sega

John_Deacon

Yeah, that's Sega. Dumb business decisions all around. A good practice in marketing is that when an announcement won't bring you any good whatsoever, just don't make it. Keep quiet. But it doesn't seem we should expect any good sense from them. At least that's what they've been showing for the past decades. And if that's a hint at their subscription service, then good luck

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Christmas 2024 Edition)

I finished Castlevania Circle of the Moon. Now I'm starting Harmony of Dissonance, which I call Pandemonium Advance as a tribute to the colorful old PS1 game. There are so many colors in specific points of the castle that my eyes feel the blow, but it's a great game!

  • Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (working slowly towards 100%)
  • Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance from the Castlevania Advance Collection
  • Picross S Namco (I'm doing the main Picross puzzles)
  • Picross S Master System and Genesis Edition (have to finish the last page of color Picross puzzles, then there'll be just the clip Picross ones to 100% it)

Since I'm on vacation, I hope this week will allow a great deal of time to gaming

I spent such a good time beating all the Mega Picross Puzzles in Picross S Genesis And Master System, so I decided to revisit an old classic before diving into Namco Picross: I'm playing Castlevania Circle of the Moon from the Advance Collection. Not the greatest Symphony of the Nightesque Castlevania, but a really solid game which helped paved the way for what would come out later on the GBA and DS.

And I'm also playing DKC Tropical Freeze in short bursts trying to 100% it. It's gonna be a long way until I do it, but it's such fun work

Re: Review: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind (Switch) - The Mightiest Morphin Ever

John_Deacon

Being from the UK, the name 'Rita' never quite sat right with us for Power Rangers. It sounds too much like Rita from down the chip shop

That might happen when you localize a cultural product. Although Rita is quite a popular name in Brazil (especially among 40-year-olds and older), the name was used in our localization, too, and in my opinion it matches the villain perfectly.

But since her original name is Bandora, I don't get why they didn't use something like Pandora, for example.

Great to know the game performs and plays well. Let's get it soon!

Re: Anniversary: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Now Six Years Old

Awesome game. My favorite in the series with a wonderful and lengthy single player mode. It can't get more fun than that. It could have been perfect if online had been decent, but it wasn't. At this day and age, I don't know if there's an excuse for such a bad online service, especially considering the relevance of the franchise

I keep playing DKC Tropical Freeze and Animal Crossing New Horizons and this week I came back to an addiction I've developed in the past few years: Picross. Currently replaying Picross S Genesis And Master System. I need to finish its final five Mega Picross puzzles. When I do it, I'll start Picross Namco Legendary Edition
