I honestly don’t even bother watching their content. I see the headlines occasionally but it seems more performative for other news sites to pick up their analysis to just stir the pot and get clicks.
I got eyes. I don’t need DF to tel me if a game runs terrible or not
@VoidofLight This is hardly taking any attention away from that mess. This seems business as usual for taking down piracy sites. Hope they get the rest
I enjoyed the first one, and the 2nd with its DLC. Haven’t played 3 yet.
My problem with X is it had too many systems and too much going on. Too many characters and side content felt meandering. I spent more time button mashing through boring dialogue than with the combat.
2 was breath of fresh air compared to X even with the gratcha stuff
I doubt that’s been reworked while reading through the review. Sometimes a game can be too long and have too much going on for it.
Maybe if it was younger and had time, I’d happily get lost in X for 200 hours. But I’ll pass.
10 really seems out of place. I can imagine some might be duped by a perfect store and get wrapped up into the hype. I was with with Wii U version
Mario Land, Crazy Castle, Links Awakening, and Donkey Kong were my first Gameboy games as a kid.
This was my first exposure to the DK character. I know people got a soft spot for the Rare redesign, but I never got over it, simply because I remember how expressive this sprite work was in this game. How much character DK had just utilizing a few pixels.
I wish they’d go full-stop back to this design, and stop teasing it
That said Platinum signed with a devil with the Tencent deal and anyone with a brain could see that Kamiya’s time at the dev had an expiration date on it after that.
There seems to be such a turnover of content in Fortnite. It doesn’t strike me as anything other than a fleeting brand exposure, gone when the next “big” character reveal hits.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
I preordered physical for Galaxy 2. Enjoy it more than the first one
Re: Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Gets Seven-Minute Gameplay Overview Trailer
Key card is a hard pass.
Real terrible decision by Nintendo not giving devs an option for smaller sized carts
Re: Nintendo Identifies Xenoblade Chronicles X Voice Sync Bug On Switch 2
I’ve been sitting on XC3 now since it launched.
Now I’m waiting for some sort of patch for Switch 2
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
No thank you
No

@Axecon yeah that’s my bet.

Re: Video: Switch 2 Vs. Steam Deck System Face-Off, Digital Foundry Investigates
These comparison really mean nothing to me.
I bought a Switch 2 for Nintendo games.
If third party games put out something cool, and it’s not a keycard…I’ll pick it up just like Switch
Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie
@AppleroseGrace honestly. I hope they do none of that. It would be too silly

Re: Sakurai Gives An Update On 'Kirby Air Riders' And Pays Tribute To Iwata
@TerribleTerabytes totally agree.
I might have not played air ride as much as Melee or Doubledash, but it was a fun game to play with my brothers.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza, Like Mario Kart World, Was Initially Planned For Switch 1
Hoping that means it’s been done for a while and the team has been working on an Mario successor to Odyssey
Re: 27 Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games We're Excited For In 2025
I refuse to purchase any game key cards.
I honestly hope any dev who put their games on them, just fail
Re: Fans Reckon Nintendo Has "Killed" Mario Kart World With Its Latest Update
@BlaizeV that sounds like it could be true. Really getting bogged down by the weeds and forcing players to play a certain way.
It aligns with their philosophy that this is their dinner party and we are guests.
Really stinks. 3 laps structure highlights how well designed these tracks are…while the intermission portions are bland
Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy Devs Supposedly Hint At Another Nintendo Release
@Shade_Koopa more like the Wii of GCN one?
I thought the game cube one was really terrible.
Re: Nintendo Reminds Us DK Is On The Way To Switch 2 Next Month
I think the game looks pretty, but idk about the gameplay. It seems very basic and repetitive
Re: Video: "It's Actually...Really Good" - Our Hot 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Preview Take
I’m not buying this. I probably wouldn’t even try it if it was free.
Re: Random: Unofficial Smash Bros. Dating App 'SmashTogether' Shut Down By Nintendo
I don’t why a dating app for smash fanboys disgusts me as much as it does.
But it does.
Don’t blame Nintendo for shutting it down. Why would they want their IP associated with this garbage?
Re: Video: 10 GameCube Games We Want On Switch 2's Online Expansion Pack
@Jack_Goetz a silent admission that they’re all the same
Re: Former Assassin's Creed Lead Isn't Happy About Switch 2's Game Key Cards
@The-Chosen-one a single guy did, who is a gamer and also develops video games.
He can have an opinion on it
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Comments On Switch 2's "Hefty" Price Hikes
Sony and Microsoft have other divisions other than gaming. It isn’t
Nintendo does not, and needs to maintain margin in an increasingly ***** world economy.
Why are you trying to villainize that?
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Comments On Switch 2's "Hefty" Price Hikes
@Yoshi3 And why should Nintendo or any company sell at a loss?
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) - An Underrated Gem Transforms Into The Series' Best
I dropped the one on Wii U after 20 hours.
I enjoyed the first one, and the 2nd with its DLC. Haven’t played 3 yet.
My problem with X is it had too many systems and too much going on. Too many characters and side content felt meandering. I spent more time button mashing through boring dialogue than with the combat.
2 was breath of fresh air compared to X even with the gratcha stuff

Re: Video: Here's The Official Mega Man Trailer For Amazon's 'Secret Level' Series
@97alexk oh I agree. I haven’t much cared for Mega Man since the SNES days but this looks pretty high quality.
Kind of surprised to see all the bemoaning here.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Seeking "New Targets" In Switch Piracy Investigation
I’ve seen more interest from news outlets reporting on this, then the actual questioned Reddit community caring
Re: Mario & Luigi's Future In Doubt As A Potential Sony Acquisition Emerges
Its future was always in doubt. This is very click baitey
Re: Bayonetta Star Jennifer Hale On The SAG-AFTRA Strikes: "AI Is Coming For Us All"
AI has no business in the art industry.
Already feels soulless at times.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Pokémon
Just release the mainline games 🙄
Re: Poll: Are You Ready To Move On From The Switch?
I honestly don’t care until there is a game shown I want to play on this unknown machine.
Re: Poll: Do You Prefer Fire Emblem: Three Houses Or Engage?
Engage is boring
Re: Soapbox: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Won't Be The Franchise's 'BOTW Moment', And That's Okay
I don’t need a game that flips the series on its head.
Dread was more of the same for 2D Metroid and it was still good.
Odyssey is still much a 3D Mario game.
Uncharted 4 was still an uncharted game.
Nintendo tried something newish with Federation Force. Go play that.
Re: Suda51 Unsure If Travis Touchdown Will Return, Admits It's Not His "Call To Make"
I liked NMH3 for what it was.
Felt like an okay AA game that needed some more time
Re: Resident Evil 6 Has Sold Over 1 Million Copies On Nintendo Switch
Never played it on any platform.
I remember watching game vids on it. Didn’t like the three narrative split, and more action focus segments.
Passed on it
Re: Nintendo Announces Acquisition Of Shiver Entertainment
Never heard of them
Re: Sony On Zelda Live-Action Movie: Miyamoto Has A Really "Strong" Vision
10-15 years ago I would have been feeling fiercely protective over the IP and anxious over Hollywood messing it up.
Nowadays I don’t care. If it’s good, great! If it’s not I’m not going to lose sleep over it like some of you are aniticpating lol
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Metroidvania Games
I really wanted to like Hollow Knight but the game is a bloated mess.
Re: Talking Point: One Year On, Has Everyone Beaten Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
No. After 3 hours total play time I dropped it for other games.
It couldn’t keep my attention.
Which is sad because I love Zelda so much, but the open air thing is boring.
Re: Embracer Group To Split Into Three Separate Companies
This is the same company that has been buying IPs up for the last 5 years right?
Anyone ever read, “There was an Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly?”
Eventually she went kablooie after swallowing a horse.
Re: Saber Interactive CEO Doesn't Think $70 Video Games Are Sustainable
Gamers are cheap.
Some of these games should be close to $90 or more the way development doses have ballooned.
That or gaming companies need to reduce the amount they are pumping into them by investing in more efficient processes.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Confirmed For Switch, Adds New Chapter & Storyline
I’m going to assume it will have a Switch 2 version eventually, so I’ll wait for it then
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario vs. Donkey Kong For Switch?
No. Honestly. Donkey Kong 94 remake would’ve gotten me interested. They should have remasters that one
Re: Talking Point: Do You Want To See Colourful Cartridges Return For 'Switch 2'?
I’m sure some gamers would complain about it being kiddy.
I don’t care either way
Re: Yes, Nintendo Is Aware Of Palworld's Existence
All this company does is copy what others are doing. All of their games. Nothing special.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Reveals Why He Left PlatinumGames
Kamiya is a drama queen and has an inflated ego.
That said Platinum signed with a devil with the Tencent deal and anyone with a brain could see that Kamiya’s time at the dev had an expiration date on it after that.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Comments On The Possibility Of A Playable Zelda In The Future
@Cia Zelda can be whatever the devs want her to be.
They can do a twist where you think you’re playing as Link, but then reveal he is actually a she, and she is actually Princess Zelda.
Re: Random: The Game Awards Urged Eiji Aonuma To 'Wrap Up' Zelda Acceptance Speech
Needed to have enough time earlier in the show for Kojima walking through a foggy door 🙄
