Re: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Updated To Version 1.2.2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Lizuka

I think if the next Mario game bares much resemblance to Bowser's Fury it'll be a hard pass for me. It's a fun enough game for what it is, but even for only being like three hours long by the time I finished with it I was getting pretty tired of it. Plus I just in general have come around to disliking most open world games on principle, I really miss actual focused level design.

Re: We're Not Getting A New Game, But 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy' Gets A Free Update

@Filthy Honestly the second game's in such a weird place because it's almost entirely carried by the last case. The second case is pretty decent too, but the first is wildly forgettable and the third while I think it gets too much hate is most likely the weakest of the original trilogy. The first game arguably has the same issue, but at least it's got the bonus case helping to elevate the overall experience (though personally I do like the second game more than the first).

Though personally my choices for the weakest cases in the series are the third ones in Apollo and Investigations 1 and the fourth in Great Ace Attorney 1. That last one's probably my most-hated one personally, but at least it's got a good sequel case. .... Though for that matter the circus case has a sequel in Investigations 2 and it's great.

Lack of a new game announcement is disappointing, but at least the series is continuing to get something and it's been very noticeable how barebones the original trilogy collection feels compared to all of the others so I'm glad it's getting this much.

Kind of a shame I replayed the original trilogy (and also the Investigations games, Apollo, and Spirit of Justice; it hadn't been that long on Dual Destinies so skipped it but meaning to do it, the GAA games, and Ghost Trick at some point soonish) last year so probably be awhile before I get around to another go of them.

Re: Capcom Switch 2 Launch Title Gets Its First Big eShop Discount

Lizuka

Wish they'd offer a bigger discount on Ultra Street Fighter 2 at some point. Kind of want it but don't $20 want it but it never comes lower. Already have most of what else is included in this sale that I'm interested in, including SF6.

Either way I impulse bought Silent Hill F so likely no more games for me until Galaxy 2.

Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch And Switch 2 Direct Game In New Infographic

Galaxy 2, the MK collection, Danganronpa, and Fire Emblem are really the only things on my radar. Possibly Mario Tennis if you can actually play a full game of tennis in this one, was always the big reason I never got Aces.

Maybe the Wonder upgrade if there's a decent amount of single player content, but the trailer was definitely more pushing the multiplayer that I don't care about. The fact it looks like they're adding Rosalina might tip it for me though.

Re: Rosalina's Storybook From Super Mario Galaxy Goes On Sale This November

Lizuka

Might be neat as a novelty thing, that was always a great part of the game, but it's absurdly overpriced for a 40-some page picture book - can easily find others of similar length on Amazon at under half that price - that's contents you can easily find online or in-game anyway, and it's especially dumb that they're not including the new content.

Also it's a little thing but I can't stand how Nintendo refers to everything they put out as "the (title) game" at all times. No other publisher talks like this, it sounds so inhuman.

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Super Mario's 40th Anniversary

Lizuka

About time on Galaxy 2, definitely getting that. I'll reserve judgment on Mario Tennis and Yoshi given 1), my primary hope out of the former is that unlike the last one you can actually play a full game of tennis, and 2), Yoshi games are wildly inconsistent in quality with some great and some terrible so I'm not inclined to trust them at face value.

Don't care at all about multiplayer or the movie or their museum or whatever and really wish they'd leave that stuff out of the general Directs.

Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Charges Onto Switch 2 In 2026

Lizuka

At least personally even on a gameplay level I didn't like Engage and really have no idea what people see in it. There's absolutely nothing about that experience I want to see carry over to future games other than maybe, "Please make a knockoff of Yunaka that actually has other characters that are even mildly interesting to interact with."
