So how's the thing ?

At least the author (because yes, I'm done calling you PJ from now on 😡) did not dare to mention F1 Triple Battle.

I don't know what upsets me the most : the fact that I felt legitimate enough to include an emoji in a written rant to someone who doesn't normally take a drawing from anyone, or the fact that I might actually be curious about this publicity stunt just because someone who formerly shouldn't have taken a drawing from anyone is pulling it, be it with the most un-engaging words ever.

Ah, PJ ! You have always been my fav around these parts, and seeing that you're rocking a real-life Telecaster (Paranormal Deluxe ?) next to a shiny plastic Strat really comforts me in my appreciation. 👩🏿‍🎤

@FrédéricGémus
L'accent tonique de "character" est sur la première syllabe. C'est super énervant pour les oreilles, sinon.

Still, congratulations on delivering such an old school brawler ! The game looks great and I have no doubt it'll play just as well.

The whole Ratchet & Clank : Rift Apart parade intro made me feel like I was on a fireworks launching pad.

And good ol' Missile Command kinda puts you in control of fireworks, except they're inverted.

@automatom

Nah, I disagree, because then they would not have left the top of the "N", the "T" and the "E".
And sure, the Switch logo could stand for a stylized "N", but it's much less obvious for a "2" to replace an "E". That's a job for the magic number, or possibly a "5", if you're really pushing it.

Wow ! The music is stunning in both clips. Can't wait.

"Now, to think of a target small enough to neutralise with a pocket Great Eagle Bow.*

Balls. I'm thinking balls.

For those interested, one half of Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter, will be displaying an art installation on October 24th and 25th at the Centre Pompidou in Paris for the Because Beaubourg event.

@Anti-Matter
You used to make me smile with your singular obsession over the 6 packs of cartoon boxers (the sportsmen, not the briefs) and obscure arcade rythm games, but now it's all negativity, about Mario, the Switch 2, game key cards and whatnot.

Lighten up !
The plumber is 40 (technically a little more, I know) !
Jim Norman has finally come of age as a gamer !

We should fuse you with Johnny Mind, and maybe we'd get a balanced person (rather sooner than later, when we find the time and when our copy of the human fusion manual arrives).

Metroid Prime 4 : Federation Horse

@FelixSandwichez

And here it is, free to read :

I had no idea you were Danish, which constitutes the main information in this piece.

Feel free to holler if your Google Translate gets lazy.

His Street Fighter piece makes me think of a drunk wedding band refusing the bride's mother's requests and insisting on jamming it out with the D-50 and DX7's modulation wheels.

They perfected Mario Tennis by watching Roger.

Some of you are playing frames.
Some of us are playing games.
We're much happier.

"One dock to rule them all."

V.R.R. Tolkien

Yeah, and there goes your Switch 2 if one or more of the players show a little too much enthusiasm or rage during a Melee fight and pull on the controllers too hard, resulting in the fall of the dock and console.

@rjejr
Roger's not better than everyone else, he's just better than me.

@rjejr

I was really enjoying your brilliant analogies and fantastic syllogisms, until you wrote this :

"OK 1 last try then I'm out of here."

Not only do you not make sense, not only do you try too hard, but you also think you're above everyone else.

Please do as you say and stay out of here.

@Rodolfo6493
I wouldn't count on Microids doing something neat these days (have they ever, btw ?). They're a total mess and are shutting down the Paris studio, firing 30 people or so.

"Rétro laser en action !"

@Dipso
I sure will give it another try then, thanks for the heads up.

@beartown

Again, I disagree. Those tracks weren't empty when racing online, and competition was fierce.
Plus you're probably driving on them in 8, so disregarding them is a bit strange.

@beartown

Again, tastes and colors cannot be discussed too far down the rainbow road, they can only stack up clicks and ad revenues.

There's also an age factor, I guess.
I was 19 when the first game was released. My take is undoubtebly different to someone's who's had their first experience with the saga by playing World, and then backtracked.

"enamoured"

Lovely.

Du français "enamouré".

I forgive you for not mentionning Kilik in your SoCal2 review.

On topic, you are so right about the art direction shielding the franchise with an ageless component. It is in fact so unique that, as you know, comic books/mangas and even records have derived from the games. It only happens to the best.

And about online hooplas, I must say I had a great time playing COD:Ghosts on WiiU. People were almost always civil and nice there, or at least decent. Probably because there were so few. Shout out to my lost pals AvalancheSoccer and Naiseva, by the way.

@Zerodogg

Since you brought the matter up, I hope you noticed my previous comment here, or at least its "structure".

@PJOReilly

I'm relieved you wrote "tennis" before the following word.
Tell your son he has incredibly good taste.
And until we meet on the stage of history, Taki cari.

@BrokenCiv @PJOReilly

Love to hear that you like this game as much as I do, and thank you for such an excellent review (although I'd be happy to prove you - and @PJOReilly, who has not even mentionned the fighter in the review, yet included an unflattering pic - wrong and change your... mind 😉 about Kilik). Here's hoping everyone will have fun playing with their own favorite character, and fingers crossed my pole does find your end when we meet online from June 5th on.

I really like the RC Pro Am vibes I'm getting.
Good job, Ghislain & Adrien !

Fnac is taking orders for MKW at 69,99€ and 59,99€ for DKB.
Both BoTW and ToTK (Switch 2 Editions) go for 59,99€.
So everyone's complaining, but from what I gather, the new first party game prices are either equivalent or lower than they are/were on Switch 1.

@Uncle_Franklin

Wow !
And I thought you were just a score board.

Lots of negativity in here.
I don't know about the game, but I found the eight-minute film amazing.
Its art direction is stunning.

I might be wrong, but to me, a "security risk" does not (necessarily) result in console bricking.
I'm more concerned Nintendo means "if you use unofficial online services, hackers may use back doors and exploits to gain access to info stored on your WiiU and even find their way to other peripherals and connected elements of your home, such as computers, babyphones, smartphones...".
Maybe don't think punishment, think warning.

@Yoshi3
"Elegant classic" : you've nailed it.

@Steel76
"It felt like you held a piece of treasure." : you've nailed it.

@brookeobscura
"Do you have the one with the shield or sword on the box?" : you've nailed it.

@Jhena
"So he was a Christian" : you've nailed him to the wrong cross.
Think Rose Cross. Think pyramid. Think temples. Think tasks. Think bosses with a major and single eye. Think compass (and its other meaning : the tool used to measure/trace circles). Think G(anon)...
Etc.
Link is most definitely a freemason before he is a Christian.

@ibookboyuk
Yet they've remastered "Gish" and "Siamese Dream".

It's a real disappointment to be shown more goodies and food than footage of the roller coaster in action. But at least that JL Bonnier character really stole the show and has super energized me to a point where I'm now exhausted. Good night.

Jodi Benson is so talentend that she managed to physically impersonate Lori Alan in this video. The illusion of watching two different actresses is perfect.

"it's incredible that we've gone so long without noticing it before."

Yeah, because most of the times, when we try expanded and random variations of the Konami code in every single game that's out there, it actually brings up something.

@Thomystic @IceEarthGuard @Uncle_Franklin

Maybe our beloved Uncle drives a DeLorean.

Or maybe he just publishes scores from previous rounds in the current one.

The NA box contained a poster of the japanese art (without the japanese characters if I recall correctly), so it's only natural that this brawl resulted in a tie.

Sushi, from "Sushi Striker" !

To whom it may concern :
the initial French theatrical release date has been pushed back from March, 29th to April, 5th.

Hey, NintandoLife, for the second time : it's "Rogen", not "Rogan".

@LiamDoolan

Changing the "a" to an "i" would improve your subheader.

I cannot believe no one (apart from this B64 character, who has pretty much mentioned every game ever created) has highlighted METROID PRIME's title screen.

And then GRIS.

https://youtu.be/c1UN0unVLQs

You all are deaf.

Except for (Uncle) Franklin, maybe.

I have no interest in this game, but it's great to read such an article. You guys should get out of the office more often.

@Hajilee
It's nice that your religious representative announced Chris Pratt as Mario in church.

@johnvboy
So do you think that in the dubbed Italian version, Mario will speak Italian with an American accent ?

@Heroofthenexus
The children in "Despicable Me" are totally lovable. Heck, even Gru becomes lovable.
Your heart must be so dry.

(and note to the author : it's Seth Rogen, as in Rogen Fedenen, not Rogan)

It's cool to see some footage of the cancelled N64 version of "Eternal Darkness".

@ItsOKToBeOK

It's OK to be wrong :
French law requires you to get the State's permission if you are outside the EU and wanna purchase more than 10% of a domestic company (it used to be 25% before the pandemic).

@OorWullie You are right, Hamster is out of the loop. But DotEmu did manage to bring Wonder Boy to the Switch after their PS4 release, so I'm hoping they'll come up with good news for us soon. Cyrille Imbert's (head of DotEmu) twitter account is a good spot to keep an eye on :
