Finished Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (man that final boss is hard!) and am now going to play BYEBYE BOXBOY!, aptly one of the last games I got on the system. Also, I'm finally playing Mario Party Superstars. Haven't played much yet, but it is fun so far. Plus, today is my birthday, so it just makes sense!
Continuing my quest to complete all the GBA games I missed, I'm going to continue playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. I think I'm maybe about half-way through the game.
After clearing The Legend of Zelda: the Minish Cap, I decided my next target should be Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Havn't played much, but so far, so good.
"Zelda veterans could easily beat it in a weekend" I can attest to that. I'm not much of a Zelda veteran, but I did beat the game in a weekend. It's short, but extra sweet, and my only complaint is that it's impossible to 100% the game unless you do everything in a specific order. Also: "you'll almost definitely be playing long after the credits have rolled" Unless you're grinding for mysterious shells, I don't think this statement is entirely true. Once I beat the game, I still had to get two tiger scrolls, complete the Goron side quest, and get the mirror shield, plus Tingle trouble, and I did all that in 4 or 5 hours.
I can finally say I'm playing something! Right now I'm playing The Legend of Zelda... The Minish Cap. Suprised? So far the game has actually been pretty good, though I think I'm already more than halfway done.
Surprisingly, nothing! My life has been incredibly busy as of late, so I haven't had time to play video games. Hopefully I can get back to playing soon.
Somehow my international history teacher managed to play the movie digitally a few days back. It lagged a bunch, so they switched to something else, but they played the first few minutes. I think it was on a website called Plex. Can someone confirm/deny this?
Wispy eventually got so mad, he went all out and became a god of destruction, but since Kirby wasn't around, he decided to go after Magolor.
(Yes, I know the Master Crown + the God Apple is not Whispy Woods, but it's a tree boss, so good enough)
I don't really use eshops, I'm more a physical guy, but cmon, I couldn't pass up Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe and Kirby's Blowout Blast! Didn't get the other two cause there's sequels on Switch. Also, got BYE-BYE BOXBOY! with some spare change.
Well, there were five fighters in expansion pass one, and another six in pass two, so if you counted Piranha Plant, which was separate, there would actually be another twelve fighters, and thirteen if we count Pyra and Mythra as separate fighters, which I don't. Also, still haven't got the Treasure Tracker DLC for some reason
I'm going to beat the true arena in Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe. So far. I've made it as far as the Crowned Doomer but it's still been pretty hard.
I went with 2019. So many good games, from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening to Luigi's Mansion 3, and Super Mario Maker 2 pretty much saved my life during the first half of the school year. Shoutout to 2018, though, when two of the best indie games I've ever played came out (take a guess at which two they are).
People seem upset... and I mostly agree. But then again, I used Pokemon Smile about two years ago, and I'm a teenager, so Pokemon Sleep is a must-download for me!
@KingdomTears Oh. I didn't realize this was a republished article and not completely new! @mariomaster96 Well, I plan on playing it too! ...once KRtDD is done with.
Holey moley donut cannoli, THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Highlights: KRtDD: always good to get some Kirby news, and it's nice that the epilogue is confirmed to exist. It looks better than I expected! GB and GBA for NSO: was honestly not expecting this, so when they said that something NSO related was about to be announced, I was like "oh, so they are revealing the next set of N64 games. Thought they were going to save that until June." And then the Gameboy came on screen and I went ballistic. Metroid Prime Remake: and then IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Metroid Prime Remaster of rumors is shadow dropped! Once I finish KRtDD, I have some hard choices to make...
I didn't realize Kate was reading! They make such good Back Page articles! Ahh well, all good things must come to an end eventually... On the topic at hand though, yea, Celeste's ending is pretty good. So is the ending for its final chapter, Farewell... if you can beat it, of course!
@Key19 I would pay $70,000 for a Kirby game. Ok, maybe not that much, but $70 would be nothing for a game from my favorite franchise! You are you though, so if you do care about a possible price increase, I don't mind.
Welp, I missed the poll. And I'm commenting a day late. Doesn't matter though, I'm going to talk about my gaming plans anyways! So first off, I decided that playing through the entire Donkey Kong Country trilogy was a good idea (using NSO and rewind, of course), and it was suffering. On the other hand, I managed to begin playing Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, and so far, it has been a blast!
Seeing as how I've beaten Farewell in Celeste (somehow), I think I'm done with the game. Probably just gonna chill with Dicey Dungeons for the weekend.
Cool! Can't wait for the website to come to the US. Also, for those of you wondering, "why did Magalor make a theme park?", well, once you beat the game (and him), he says he'll make it up to Kirby by building a theme park. Glad to see he did it!
Why not both? If it's digital only, I get it digitally, if it is available physically (when I want to get it), I get it physically. Will only vote for physical because it makes it easier to return/give away if I don't like the game.

Should've been "from DC to BC," but I wont complain. Also, went with North America since it's more acurate.

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Says He Prefers To Buy Video Games Digitally
