I guess it's split like this to not interfere too much with the sales of the physical OST? IDK, releasing it like this is strange and this is the only reason I can think of as to why it's only a partial release for now.
If this is the case, it would also explain why Splatoon 3 doesn't have Side Order tracks since the physical release of Ordertune is still relatively new
@Goat_FromBOTW When he said that, he also mentioned that if the time came when he felt he couldn't voice Mario anymore, he would pass on the role and it seems like that time has come. I don't think there's a deeper reason than just he wanted to step down from the role.
"In a question and answer session at a Canadian gaming and comics expo two years ago, Martinet told the audience "I want to voice Mario until I drop dead" in response to a fan's question, according to gaming blog The Game Crater. But he added "if someday I think I am no longer capable of doing it, I will tell Nintendo to look into finding someone else."
@batmanbud2 I personally don't really care much for MP8. It's better than MP9-Super, but it's not really one I go back to. Probably should've added it IG
Of the GameCube entries, I'd rate it above MP5, but I like MP4/6/7 more than MP8 personally
@PharoneTheGnome And if you can't buy it because paying $200+ for a used physical game is absurd, pirate it (assuming it isn't offered through modern official means, of course)
@Jhena Isn't there Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered for that? Or is this game different from that one in terms of gameplay (besides it being multiplayer)
@RareFan I mean, Monkey Ball and Puyo Puyo still get games every now and then. Samba De Amigo is getting a new game. Plus the studios they own like RGG and Atlus still pump out games on the regular.
It is neat that they're adding more GameCube games to the Switch library, even if they're the bare minimum in terms of improvements. I hope GameCube shadow drops in Directs are a continuous thing.
Guess this means this is the future of the series then if it does numbers like this. Here's hoping we still get 2D/OoT style games as in-between games while we wait for BOTW3
Now we just need Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, Mega Man Legends Legacy Collection, and a Mega Man Gems Collection with all the odd-ball games that haven't been added to a collection yet like Network Transmission, X Command Mission, Mega Man & Bass, Powered Up, the Xtreme games, etc.
@Samalik I doubt people would be mad at a Mania 2 with all completely unique stages and no reused stages from past games. Mania is one of the most well-received games in the series and consistently ranks near the top on most "best Sonic games" lists.
Sonic and the Secret Rings. The controls are pretty bad but I like the story, characters, and music. Black Knight is still the better of the Storybook duology though.
@FlyingFoxy I like Terminator 3 for being a movie where the villain wins despite what the heroes do to stop them. It's not something you see too often in action movies, at least from what I've seen. It's not my favorite Terminator movie but I don't mind it.
Something I want is a Terminator movie that feels more like the first movie rather than the second one.
@danemord You can choose the genders of Robin in Awakening and Corrin in Fates but they had their own personalities and interacted with the members of their army.
Games that didn't have an avatar character like the newer games had protagonists that talked and had personalities as well.
I think the only other game to have a silent character was Mark in Blazing Blade but they were not the main character and was more of a vessel for the player that the main characters interacted with.
@danemord Byleth being a silent protagonist seems to have been a one-time thing as Three Hopes goes back to having a protagonist that talks and has their own personality like Corrin and Robin.

North America because I don't like the yellow splat behind the title in the European/Japanese versions.
Side note, since when did Tomodachi Life on 3DS become so pricey

Re: Expansion Packs And DLC Are Now "Eligible In All Categories" At The Game Awards
Ehh, I feel like a "best DLC/Expansion" would work best, but then again, we don't get GOTY-worthy DLC like Erdtree very often, so it's whatever.
With how many remasters/remakes are being made nowadays, I'm surprised they don't have their own category as well lol.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Personally, I give it an 8 so far. Haven't done much of the story stuff yet but the new abilities are pretty fun.
I'm interested to see if all these 10/10s will hold up once the honeymoon phase ends.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Has Surpassed 10 Million Sales In Three Days
Guess this means this is the future of the series then if it does numbers like this. Here's hoping we still get 2D/OoT style games as in-between games while we wait for BOTW3
