The New 3DS XL was too clunky for me. But the standard-sized 3DS XL is handheld perfection. You got perfect pocket size, elegant form factor, all the New 3DS bells and whistles, and those cosmetic faceplates are wonderful!
I re-upped my subscription recently, but as a standard subscription.
Don't really feel like upgrading just to see if this is worth it or not ...but FOMO is whispering in my ear mighty loud right now.
(My guess is online play for NSO emulation will be expanded to worldwide matchups with strangers.)
The fact that infinite continues had to be patched in is a little sad, but I'm glad it's there now. Makes the single player arcade mode so much more playable.
Having more time to choose characters is great for multiplayer, too.
Couldn't happen to a nicer company. They're reaping what they've sown. I just hope the hard-working devs and good people there will be able to find their footing at a less toxic workplace.
I love Limited Run Games. The collector's edition with all the trimmings isn't for me, the standard will do just fine.
But... are we sure this is gonna be the final edition of Shredder's Revenge? Will this actually be a complete version, or is DotEmu gonna come back two months later and be like "we have one last DLC, for realsies this time?"
It's not great!! The absolutely horrible frame rate in the game does take me out of the mood to continue playing quite frequently... but it also doesn't completely ruin the game for me, either.
I would have much preferred if it was capped at 30fps. Hell, I'd be happy with it being capped at 24fps even, as long as it was stable.
I've only had the chance to spend a couple hours with it so far, but in those couple hours, I've had the most feel-good gaming experience I could think of in quite some time.
I'll need to spend more time with it to give a definitive number, but so far it's a high-8, low-9 for me.
A day late for this, eh? I picked up Echoes of Wisdom physically.
But digitally, I got Cash Cow DX and it is so good! A very addictive arcade platformer from the Donut Dodo developer, and dare I say it might even be better than Donut Dodo?
Once again, working class staff are outta luck, and the top gets golden parachutes. Enough is enough. I won't be buying anything from "Maximum Entertainment "
Literally any Zelda game can have Zelda as the lead playable character.
I'm glad she is the lead in this one, I love that actually.
But Aonuma's reasoning behind it is such a cop out.
I really hope the pressures of overnight fame don't drag her to ruin, because the world needs more WLW (that's women loving women for the uninitiated) songstresses in the mainstream eye.
she means so much to so many.
@JokerCK A 5 is quite literally an average review.
"5/10 — Average
"A middle-of-the-road title, you really need to start wondering if this one’s for you. A game awarded this score may be uninspired, unfinished in key areas, or represent poor value for money. It'll still have redeeming features, though, and you'll need to determine if they're important enough to you to mitigate any flaws."

Re: 'Tetris Forever' Slots Into Place On Switch Next Month
So I guess Limited Run Games will be publishing the physical, eh?
Re: Random: Nintendo's Museum Might Be Emulating SNES Games On Windows PC
"Rules for thee, but not for me!" -Nintendo
At this rate, I don't see myself supporting them by buying a Switch 2.
Re: Rumour: Switch 2's Codename Believed To Be In Latest Pokémon Data Leak
The idea of there being two models holds weight (uh, no pun intended) from previous information. So the plot does thicken 🤔
Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree Has Reportedly Leaked Online
everyone watch out for spoilers of a multiplayer party game with no plotline
Re: Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered Shoots Onto Switch Next Year
I am very much here for a re-master of Angel of Darkness.
That game is... not great. So at least a remake won't make it worse!
Re: Feature: 10 Years Ago, Nintendo Launched The Very Best 3DS
The New 3DS XL was too clunky for me.
But the standard-sized 3DS XL is handheld perfection. You got perfect pocket size, elegant form factor, all the New 3DS bells and whistles, and those cosmetic faceplates are wonderful!
Re: Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes Include A "Surprise" If You Play In Chronological Order
Gameplay wise, going from III to I is pretty jarring.
I get why they went for DQIII first and all, but yeah.
Re: All 14 Games In The Upcoming 'Tetris Forever' Compilation Have Been Confirmed
No physical, no purchase.
These Digital Eclipse releases are Museum quality compilations, that are too good to languish in digital format.
Re: Nintendo Announces Switch Online: Playtest Program For "New Feature"
@axelhander that sounds right.

Re: Random: A Brand New Game Boy Cartridge Is Launching... From Green Day?
Re-releasing an an album track-by-track via 15(!) different and obtuse physical media formats is an absolutely ridiculous idea.
I love it.
Re: "We Were So Stumped" - Nintendo On The 'Unorthodox' Development Of Alarmo
Nintendo here to make sure everyone goes woke on time!
Re: Talking Point: After A September No-Show, Will There Be An October Nintendo Direct?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: No, Nintendo aren't going to shoot their last push for holiday Switch sales in the foot.

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed "I will always stand up for women and girls,"
I hope that includes transgender women and girls.
Re: Opinion: Hyrule Really Needs To Take A Look At Its Prison System
The opening of this game tells me Zelda never would have gotten falsely imprisoned, if Hyrule abolished the prison system.
Hylian reform now!
Re: Talking Point: How Would You Fix Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Most Frustrating Feature?
A radial menu would be cool, like picking weapons in Quake.

Re: New TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Collector's Edition Comes Bundled With DLC, Figures & More
I love Limited Run Games. The collector's edition with all the trimmings isn't for me, the standard will do just fine.
But... are we sure this is gonna be the final edition of Shredder's Revenge? Will this actually be a complete version, or is DotEmu gonna come back two months later and be like "we have one last DLC, for realsies this time?"
Re: Dragon Quest's Creator Criticises 'Mistranslation' Of DQ3 Remake Costume Comments
You mean the contingent who are anti-"censorship" were jumping to conclusions and overdramatizing things?
Shocking.

I would have much preferred if it was capped at 30fps. Hell, I'd be happy with it being capped at 24fps even, as long as it was stable.
Re: Metroid 64 Fan Game Blends Prime Mechanics With Other M
I really wish developers of fan projects would keep quiet until the projects are done and released in the wild.
Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Updated For Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
very nice to see Juggernaut was re-buffed
Re: Nintendo Slays Switch Emulator Ryujinx
the files are out there. the emulator still exists.
Nintendo can't put that genie back in the bottle.
stuff like this is heavily impacting my decision to buy a Switch 2.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Chimes In On Characters Showing Less Skin In Upcoming HD-2D Remake
It's really not a big deal, at all.
Does exposed character skin enhance the gameplay?
NO.
Does exposed character skin improve the story telling?
NO.
If the game mechanics work and the gameplay feels like the original game, then it's fine.
It's all pixels and polygons in the end.
Anyway, I'm sure this comment section will be super cool and chill.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?
I've only had the chance to spend a couple hours with it so far, but in those couple hours, I've had the most feel-good gaming experience I could think of in quite some time.
I'll need to spend more time with it to give a definitive number, but so far it's a high-8, low-9 for me.
Re: Tony Hawk Confirms That The Video Game Series Has "A Future"
I'm still not over the fact that Pro Skater 1 is 25 years old 👵🏽
Re: Bakeru Is Currently Unavailable On The Switch eShop In Europe
it's a shame there's no physical edition of this game
Re: Review: Night Slashers: Remake (Switch) - Some Nice, Gory Ideas, But The Visuals Are The Real Horror Story
@Sylamp @whitespy12
thank you, but I guess I'll wait for a patch now too 😅
Re: Review: Night Slashers: Remake (Switch) - Some Nice, Gory Ideas, But The Visuals Are The Real Horror Story
Yeah, this is exactly what I expected.
I could live with the visuals if the game wasn't so buggy, but sounds like it can't even do that.
Oh well. I guess I'll wait for a 50% off sale or something. Good review, thanks.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th September (North America)
A day late for this, eh?
I picked up Echoes of Wisdom physically.
But digitally, I got Cash Cow DX and it is so good! A very addictive arcade platformer from the Donut Dodo developer, and dare I say it might even be better than Donut Dodo?
Re: Californian Law Dictates Storefronts Be Honest About Digital Game Ownership
@VHSGREMLIN not yet, anyway.
i wouldn't be surprised if corpo AAA publishers are working on that next.
Re: Californian Law Dictates Storefronts Be Honest About Digital Game Ownership
I mean... it's a win for consumer transparency, at least.
But this is a major loss for those fighting to ensure we can keep what we pay for in the first place.
Re: Indie Publisher Merge Games Closes Down After 15 Years
Once again, working class staff are outta luck, and the top gets golden parachutes.

Re: Puzzle Matching Game 'Woodo' Is Giving Off Cosy 'Unpacking' Vibes
I hope it has a WLW love story underneath the gameplay like Unpacking does.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Version 1.0.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
way to devalue my physical copy before I even get it 😒
Re: Nintendo To Go In 'Different Direction' To Current AI Trends, Says Miyamoto
Good.
And because my comment needs to be longer: very good.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
No Zelda game is perfect or ever will be.
So hearing that this game is better than "good" is all I need to hear ❤️
Re: Video: SEGA Celebrates 'Batman Day' With Shadow The Hedgehog
I'm a DC comics fangirl before a lot of other things, so this is a huge deal. Absolutely bonkers and I am here for it.

Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Gets New 2025 Release Window
With delay after delay after delay, this game is either gonna be amazing …or it will fail to meet every high expectation.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Gets A Fresh New DLC Update
Mona Lisa?
once again, Venus DeMilo is forgotten.
abandoned turtles aside, I love that two years later this wonderful game is still full of surprises.
Re: Random: Zelda: Wind Waker Mod Replaces Link With A Honking Goose
amazing. an improvement on perfection.
10 outta 10, goty (goose of the year).
Re: Atari 50 DLC Adds 19 Games And Launches Later This Week
@ChromaticDracula @cmdrmarc this article misled me 😅
but you are right, and I thank you. I saw it on best buy too.
Re: Atari 50 DLC Adds 19 Games And Launches Later This Week
so the physical isn't getting a standard release?
just the steel book?
thanks, I hate it.
EDIT: Yes I know, thank you.
Re: Random: Chappell Roan Jokes About Fan Taking Concert Photos On A DS

I love her so much.

she means so much to so many.

Re: Tetsuya Nomura Contemplates Retirement And Concluding Kingdom Hearts
Yes please.
The series can only do so much without radically reinventing it to be something it's not.
