Hah, this is happening during my math class. Just one hour earlier or later, and I could've caught at least some of it, but nope! Gonna have to watch it later. Least I can skip around to get to the stuff I like.
This gives me an idea. Imagine, get this, if Nintendo took the best aspects of all the Mario RPGs, and made a brand-new series that everybody loved! It won't happen, but it's a fun idea regardless.
I think it's important to mention why the level was TASed. As far as I can tell, this is what happened: some guy was making a TAS tool for Wii U, but gave up. Ahoyo's friend got the unfinished TAS, and after some tinkering got it to work. Ahoyo's hands became sprained from trying to clear Bombs 5, so he got the TAS from his friend and TASed two levels, both with good intent. First was Bombs 5, as he knew it was humanly possible but couldn't physically attempt it anymore, so he uploaded it and hoped someone would one day beat it for him. Trimming the Herbs was the second, and that one he made specifically to be TAS only. He entered it into his own contest, but not to win, only to get the clear video notoriety. He even asked the judges to disqualify it under the pretense of a 12-second time limit (the contest only allowed levels 10 seconds or less). He wanted people to examine the video, realize it was TASed, and then he'd reveal the new TAS tool to the world. Unfortunately, nobody got around to examining the video for 7 years, and when it became the last uncleared level, Ahoyo realized that it would be for the best to just come clean before things got any worse.
I think the limit is once either the system or physical games for the system become EXTREMELY hard to find (cough cough, GAMECUBE) then emulation is ok. For example, the TTYD remake should not be avaliabe on a Switch emulator, but the original on a Gamecube emulator? Hell yeah, that game is impossible to come by (don't mind the fact I own a copy of the original I'm trying to make a point here)!
Sounds incredible, but unfortunately, I'm probably too stupid to do good. I'm the type of guy who goes "what build?" and then fails twenty times in Hades before accidentally coming up with an OP build. Though Balatro is a great game to watch videos of while having snacks.
If I had to guess, they probably just wanted it all under one domain, so in order to keep Japanese websites separate, they use a slash to say "this is part of the domain". It could also just be a formality idk
"Everything takes place in a theatre that has been overrun by some malignant entity hellbent on turning every play into a tragedy"
Is it a bad thing I'm rooting for the villain?
Luckily I already have stuff to play. One of the games on my wishlist is coming out the day the direct airs. I just hope neither the game nor the direct is garbage. Also obbligatory Pyoro comment here.
I know everyone's talking about the rumors, but nobody is asking if NL is ok. I think they've become Gollum due to the lack of a February Nintendo Direct.
You know? I've only heard good things about this game, and now that it's complete, I think I might finally go out and get i(gets Hades instead) DAMMIT!
