@Vortexeo Ok, so I was missing something. My bad! of course, that article is not from the same person who made this article, so they might have completely separate opinions, and that article was by one person, so it doesn't reflect the opinions of the whole group.
@Funneefox They gave Balan Wonderworld a three and Bowser's Fury a ten. Unless I'm missing something, that point doesn't really hold any weight... tell me if I'm wrong, though!
With every article I read, every snapshot I see, the temptation to get Pokemon Scarlet/Violet grows... but not yet! First, I must persevere through Pokemon X! ...and see if the games get less buggy. then I might actually consider.
Honestly, nothing looks that bad! I will say them going back to the "Mario comes from Brooklyn and got sucked into the Mushroom Kingdom" origin story is pretty hilarious, can't wait to see the trailer tomorrow!
Finally finished Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Friday night. as for what I'll play this week, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out, so I'm on Pokemon fever, but instead of getting the new games, I'll hold out for a sale and play Pokemon X instead! I usually just play one game at a time, but I've been meaning to get to RPG Time: The Legend of Wright forever now, so I'll play that simultaneously. I also got It Takes Two as my Black Friday game, and I'll be playing that one with my dad.
The third one be like: "Hold on, let me just unscrew my head real quick" EEEEERR! "There, that's better!" @EaglyTheKawaiiShika Gives me the same vibes as "removed herobrine" in Minecraft updates
Hey NL? Maybe put a spoiler tag before getting into the spoilery area. Now, I wasn't spoiled because I saw the livestream before the game came out, but what if someone wants Dudunsparce, comes here, ang gets spoiled?
If I ever get either of the games, I'm going with Sprigatito regardless, so my first storyline should be the Path of Legends!
But then again, I'll probably be doing all three stories simutaneously, so that doesn't really matter... ah well!
What do you mean? It doesn't read like an obit-
Oh. I'm starting to see what you're getting at. And the way @bigpale phrases it makes it a lot more obvious.
The Face Temple from Link's Awakening is my pick. Yes, I think I had to look something up (which I try not to do nowadays), but that music, combined with the looks and the fact that (I think) it's the first dungeon you do after the big plot twist, it's just magnificent. Eagle Tower from the same game gets a special shoutout because of Anti-Kirby.
Getting some Toree 3D vibes from this one, not because of the gameplay (though both are 3D platformers), but because in both that case and this case, a really crummy (or for Sonic Frontiers, really all-over-the-place) game just came out, and then a much cheaper and much better game came out immediately after.
I like the gold edition simply because it feels like it captures what Punch Out is, presenting a character in its actual art style rather than just showing the final boss punching someone to smithereens.
I am going to continue to play Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, and yes, I said Paper Jam. Honestly isn't so bad! Having to control three characters at once is interesting, and the Battle Cards system is (in my opinion) better than the badge system in Bowser's Inside Story.
At first I was like, "of course you'd use the game code to render the in-game effects, that's just common sense!" Then I read the article. They didn't use the game code to render in-game effects. They rendered the game code as an in-game effect. That's the coolest thing I've ever seen! I'm definitely becoming a programmer now!
No spoilers, but I watched a livestream of the game, and I think I have a new second-favorite Pokémon (Falinks will always be my favorite). Also that ending was bonkers. Like, Kirby mini-boss levels of bonkers.
I have too much on my backlog as is (and when KRtDD comes out I've gotta stop everything and play it to 100%), and I've never been a big fan of Sonic, so I'll probably skip this one. I will say, a 4/10 is a bit surprising, but then again, the Switch version was obviously going to have the most graphical issues.
I never really enjoyed the Frist Kick demo, so this demo (and the entire game) is a pass for me. Also, I dislike demos with limited plays, like certain 3DS demos, but that might just be me.
So I think that while the number of 106 million isn't completely accurate, I don't think the actual number is that much higher. Yes, multiple people may play on one account, but one person may play on multiple accounts. Two people might play a co-op game on one account, but at the same time, one person might play on two separate accounts, one for regular play and one for speedrunning. The two cases cancel out, and the recorded number of people is accurate. Not a complaint, just something i noticed. 106 million is still quite impressive though, no matter how off it is!

Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Smash World Tour Championships
Yikes. I don't care about competitive Smash, but even I know that this is ridiculous. I feel bad for everyone who wanted to participate.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Best New Pokémon Design In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
I think the entice Nacli line is now my second favorite line of all time. Falinks is still my favorite.

@Luigi05 Thanks!
Re: Talking Point: Do You Name Your Pokémon?
I chose "Maybe one or two, but not really," but in the context of "Maybe one or two in the past, but not really anymore."

Re: This Upcoming Super Mario Bros. 3 Mod Adds New Playable Characters, Wall Jumps And More
I love what this looks like (especially that trailer!), I just suck with roms and the like, so I probably won't play it.
