An experiment like this would be laughable in the scientific community. It's based on assumptions/generalizations and they don't even know who they're testing.
BUT, I think it doesn't take a scientist to realize that yeah, walking a lot will make you healthier.
@MitchVogel Something else that I really enjoyed besides what the two of us mentioned is the unique health system in combat. Well, at least unique when it came out (I'm not sure if it has been replicated since.)
There's something really satisfying when your health meter is spinning down and then you rush to finish the turn so you can reverse it and heal up.
Other small touches like that make gameplay so satisfying. Like the teleportation feature where Ness gains speed before zooming off to a new place... there are so many fun little features in addition to the two that I already mentioned.
All those fun features combine with everything that makes an RPG good, an enjoyable plot, and quirky and fun characters/situations. This culmination is the beautiful game that is Earthbound.
@JaxonH I doubt this is what you entirely meant, but many people scrutinize every aspect of a console before buying it to ensure they're getting exactly what they're paying for.
I don't have a lot of money and the reason why I would scrutinize the Switch so much is that I want to be confident that I'm making a wise investment. I don't want to buy one and have any doubts/regrets about doing so.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy I could've written it as a 14 year old. There is essentially no substance to it- it's just a collection of clichés. I'm exaggerating slightly but the point gets across. The formatting is weird as hell and there are many grammatical errors, things as simple as subject-verb agreement. It's extremely hard to read/follow for these reasons.
As a side note, the barely-existent plot doesn't have anything to do with a boy and his dog.
It's a self-published book that, judging from the description, the sample of the book I read, and the reviews that weren't clearly written by Nico's mom, is absolutely horrible.
@AlexSora89 Pretty harmless. The worst that could be done is some kid was reeled into thinking that he was saving $32-40, but you would honestly have to be really gullible to think a "rich and bored" anonymous user on the internet would spend thousands of dollars for no reason.
@jsty3105 I think it's kind of funny when people get angry so easily. It's just some stupid person on the internet; no need to get so touchy. People get "triggered" over the dumbest things.
But people still get touchy every time. And it's slightly entertaining.

@RadioShadow There was a 3 on the screen by the Japanese words, but he said 2.5-6 out loud.
Re: Nintendo Introduces ARMS, a New Boxing IP
Unlike the commenters above I'm really excited for this. It'll be a cool and innovative way to play with friends!
Re: New Report Claims Pokémon GO Could "Measurably Affect US Life Expectancy"
@Dark-Link73 It's not a hypothesis, it's a full blown experiment. But yeah it definitely encourages exercise.

Re: Rumour: Mother 3 Will Be Unveiled for the Switch VC at the Switch Reveal Next Week
@MitchVogel You're in the minority if you think Earthbound is just "alright." Earthbound is a magnificent RPG with immense charm and enjoyability.
It's natural that any sequel to a game so good would be highly sought after.
Re: Feature: Five New Year's Resolutions for Nintendo
@JaxonH Holy.... Dude, don't set your expectations that high.

Re: Video: The Final Episode of Pokémon Generations is Now Live
@Radixxs Well you seemed to have watched until the end of the series so you couldn't have thought they were that bad.

@Iggy-Koopa Oh okay. I wasn't sure if there was any significance to him not smiling as much when FE Fates and Bravely Second were announced.

@gizmoto Just out of curiosity what exactly is your profile picture?

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Spoiler alert: The book is the saddest piece of literature I have ever encountered
Re: Video: Take an Extended Look at Switch Exclusive Seasons of Heaven
@NiBar I watched that before commenting.

Re: Video: Take an Extended Look at Switch Exclusive Seasons of Heaven
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Don't get your hopes up. It's most likely some sort of scam.

Re: Random: You Can High-Five Your Pokémon in Sun and Moon
How did people not know this already?
Re: Weirdness: 'Rich and Bored' Person Promises Free Copies of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Reddit Goes Nuts
@jsty3105 I agree. Words do have power. Luckily, this troll's words were very low on the power scale... in fact, somewhere around "harmless."
Re: Weirdness: 'Rich and Bored' Person Promises Free Copies of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Reddit Goes Nuts
@AlexSora89 Pretty harmless. The worst that could be done is some kid was reeled into thinking that he was saving $32-40, but you would honestly have to be really gullible to think a "rich and bored" anonymous user on the internet would spend thousands of dollars for no reason.

@jsty3105 This was just a harmless joke, as trolling should be.
Re: Weirdness: 'Rich and Bored' Person Promises Free Copies of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Reddit Goes Nuts
@AlexSora89 Mean-spirited trolling should never be done. But this is a bit of harmless fun.
Re: Weirdness: 'Rich and Bored' Person Promises Free Copies of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Reddit Goes Nuts
@AlexSora89 Trolling is funny
Re: Weirdness: 'Rich and Bored' Person Promises Free Copies of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Reddit Goes Nuts
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Good for you
Re: Video: Episodes 9 and 10 of Pokémon Generations Are Now Ready for Your Viewing Pleasure
Man, I wouldn't mind if they shared a little bit of Generations' animation budget with the new Gen 7 anime.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Nintendo Switch?
I really hope it can play 3DS games. Wii U backwards compatibility seems unlikely.

@Braok what does that even mean brock
Re: Review: Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits & Fleshy Souls (3DS)
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Wow cool! Nice contribution to the discussion!
Re: Yooka-Laylee Will Be Getting a Boxed Release
@Braok Hi creepy profile picture guy
Re: Yooka-Laylee Will Be Getting a Boxed Release
@Spoony_Tech Oh really? Maybe it's worth me looking into a bit more then, because I loved Mario 64.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Will Be Getting a Boxed Release
@Phin68
Translation: Me like nostalgia so game is good and me use sarcasm to somehow get point across
Re: Yooka-Laylee Will Be Getting a Boxed Release
@RyanSilberman I know right!
Any time someone asks an earnest question or is confused, my first instinct is to feel sorry for them too. What ignorant, unenlightened fools!
Re: Yooka-Laylee Will Be Getting a Boxed Release
@Phin68 I know that.
Follow up question then: What's all the hype behind Banjo Kazooie?
Re: Yooka-Laylee Will Be Getting a Boxed Release
Why is this such a big deal? Just looks like your average platformer to me.
Re: Video: Check Out the Third Episode of Pokémon Generations
Gary is the best character in Pokémon. If you don't like him that's just because you're way worse than him and jealous.
Re: Review: Tadpole Treble (Wii U eShop)
Fun fact: One of the people who created this game (and did the music) plays Phoenix Wright in Turnabout Musical.
Re: Talking Point: What Approach Should Nintendo Take With Its NX Reveal?
@Timppis Um, don't you know the NX isn't the official name? If the NX is revealed the banner of this article would be showing the real name....lol...

Re: Take-Two Interactive President Praises the Success of Pokémon GO
@Ogbert Yeah I know This guy just gets annoying, he's been commenting the same thing on every PoGo post since it came out.
Re: Take-Two Interactive President Praises the Success of Pokémon GO
@Acein210 *All nostalgia does is win win win by blinding stubborn people into thinking a franchise can't expand to new areas and develop improvements
Yes, I know I'm feeding the trolls.
Re: Take-Two Interactive President Praises the Success of Pokémon GO
@Acein210 Don't you have something better to do than to comment the same obnoxious thing on every single NL post about Pokemon Go?
