Re: Best Xenoblade Chronicles Games Of All Time

LEGEND_MARIOID

TBH, they are all at least good or outstanding. My fav is Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and then no.3.

1 because of the impact the first game had on me and the homely endearment I have to the characters. 3 is the better video game, tbf.

The DLC of 3 then follows then the excellent Torna

The two 'weakest' games IMO are no.2 then 3D version of Chronicles 1 as it didn't visually translate as well as the other games (despite being novel that you could play XC on the go back then). I still have the XC screen saver background with theme music on my New 3DS XL. Good times

At the end of the day I'd recommend each and everyone of them. One of my favourite series of all time.

1. XC Def Ed.
2. XC3
3. XC3 FR
4. XC Wii
5. XC2 Torna
6. XCX
7. XC2
8. XC New 3D

Re: Review: Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist Of Memories & The Envisioned Land (Switch) - A Bold New Direction That Strains The Switch

This was unexpected in that it reads like a Xenoblade style game! Interesting move for the series and it looks like they pulled it off bar the performance on the Switch. Honestly, I would have been happy for this to be released as a Switch 2 launch game or something but here we are.

Looks like one to defo consider on a discount and/or a performance patch.

Cheers for the review

Re: Random: This Unofficial Sonic Unleashed PC Port Has Us Dreaming Of A Switch 2 Remaster

LEGEND_MARIOID

I played the game on the Wii and thought it was an okay timepass. Interesting at first but then got quickly dull. My oldest who was a kid at the time seem to enjoy it for a limited time only.

Also, this NL site reviewed it at 6.5/10 themselves as "not bad". A far cry from Mania Plus and Sonic & Shadow Generations. Generally the other Switch 1 offerings have been significantly better Sonic games as well.

Having said that if they can remaster it for the Switch 2 and improve it, I'd be down.

Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?

LEGEND_MARIOID

I'll be keeping mine. It has screen cracks on it. It lasted from launch day until 2024 relatively in good condition (just a small crack in the plastic housing), then our youngest nephew handled it, lol. No use trading it in tbf and I think I would have kept it anyway. I may not transfer all my games across as well, just a selection (if that's possible).

Re: Best Wario Games Of All Time

LEGEND_MARIOID

A fun set of games with generally good memories. A endearing character from the Mario Universe. For certain years of my gaming life, the most endearing.

I would have Wario Land 4, Wario Land Shake Dimesion then Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 as a firm top 3. Three and Two were/are solid platfom "outings"

I have been wanting a new Wario Land game for some time. Or at least Shake Dimension ported to the Switch

Citizen Sleeper 2 only for me.

Sorry, but there is another load of midware to add to the eShop ocean 😔

(Though cheers for the hard work in putting the article together of course. Describing each one's blurb. Ha)

EDIT:

How did I forget Laika? Insta-download.

The Hello Kitty Island game & Robobeat look good, if not for me!

Re: Talking Point: What Do We Actually Want From 'Mario Kart 9'?

LEGEND_MARIOID

Adventure modes with playable other Nintendo Universe characters to unlock. Transformable vehicles are a decent idea like in Sonic ASRT, but I am not that chuffed if they didn't turn up in MK. What kind of precison kart driving can you get with them? I loved it in Sonic ASRT tbf but not because it felt like I could out maneuver other competitors as an alt kart, lol.
