@N00BiSH I've had a feeling like this for a bit now... Martinet-san never said anything about being satisfied with what he's gotten to do, or being able to leave on his own terms, did he?
I couldn't truly figure on comparing the game versions, except I didn't like the new design. Movie design Fox might actually become a favorite honestly.
Honestly? I get annoyed by some of the reasons listed in articles like these. As if it's only what the left wing media pushes that's causing stuff to go wrong.
Honestly, it'll suck muchly for Nintendo if they raise the price, because it's already a hard sell.
@calbeau True, but we're looking at that pasttime/hobby dying out almost entirely. Some greedy nutters wanna buy up everything and use it to give AI a massive buff, and debuff everything else.
To me, the game has an identity crisis. Haven't finished yet, but I've yet to reach a point where I get meaningful branching paths at all, like any other metroidvania, or any other numbered Metroid game, Prime or not. It makes the open world desert feel like a "We forgot to give you exploration, so here". The controls are also a point of contention for me. Twinstick is too slow. Motion controls would be nice, if you could actually use them normally. And strafe was removed from the list of things you could do not in the presence of something to lock onto.
@foursider I have no sympathy for their CEO. The local once a store employees have consistently commented on how poorly they are treated toward being allowed to do their job for little reward, they are always at risk of demotion if they do not meet a sales quota. Same CEO has a busted af online system that will cancel your order at a moment's notice, doesn't care about customers, will sweep your story under the rug.
My store had plenty of games. I'm honestly shaken. There's basically nothing else here for casual entertainment.
Sooooo, my local store I've frequented for 15+ years, gotten to know multiple generations of employees of, the community involved, my preferred game store that does not hesitate to rag on "corporate" and their decisions, closed down because one man wanted to get a bit richer?
I hate GS corporate as is, but this makes me despise one dude all the more. As the one in store person put it, they hired Reggie, then refused to listen to him, so he left...
So, can't help but be curious, since this reflects on the whole hulu disney issue...
When is standalone Hulu being phased out? And if I get Disney Plus, do I get to see it all anyway? Or do I need to effectively double dip for Disney, and a hulu addon?

Been ages since I played, but, do you have any idea how to stagger the boss? It gets a bit rough, you'll want to stay healed.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Director Has Already Completed "Over 40 Full Playthroughs" Of The Third Game
I only just got my Rebirth platinum.
Honestly? Doing everything in these games is a real piece of work.

Gah I woulda loved to have not missed out as much.
Re: Tales Of Eternia Remastered Switch Rating Surfaces Online
Bout time I see a remaster I've not played yet!

Btw, thought Meredy was from Phantasia?
Re: Miyamoto Thanks Fans For Watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
If only I could Miyamoto-san.
Super Mario Maker's service was discontinued by your group....
I can't get into the sequel.

Why woof?
I'm just thinking like, does that girl in the art have fox ears?
Re: Feature: A Look Back At Every Game Nintendo Life Scored 10/10 Over 20 Years
Welp, I see mentions of Corbie, and Nifflas.
Makes me wonder what happened to Corbie..
Regardless, neat lil list. Though I would disagree with some of the games on here.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Getting Pokémon HOME Connectivity This Week
Meanwhile, remembering what happened when ScVi got home connectivity, and looking at ranked battles... I'm not so thrilled.

Genuinely cannot wait.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battle "Special Season" Begins Today With New Rules & Rewards
@UpsideDownRowlet
I saw comments about a possible second DLC.
Is that simply not gonna happen, or is there a chance?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Tales Of Symphonia (GameCube)
Honestly, beyond what I said before, this was my entry point to the Tales series.
Rather fond memories of it.
Will add, the Japanese box art does appear to be striving for no spoilers.
Also, somebody please extend how long I can be logged in for?
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Pokopia?
I'm just kinda, nahhhhh.
But I might be pressured later down the line.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Tales Of Symphonia (GameCube)
NA/Europe here.
Though I will point out a certain irony for the Japanese box art.....
Re: Pokopia Joins A 3DS Entry As The Highest-Rated Pokémon Game On Metacritic
@AlonditeFE
It had, and still has, the best interface for wireless and online imo.
Something about me was just dead when playing the story, but it was the game that started me on competitive.
Re: Pokopia Joins A 3DS Entry As The Highest-Rated Pokémon Game On Metacritic
@gaga64
Good.
I cannot imagine Y as series best.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Pokémon 30th Anniversary Edition
I literally can't pick. :/
Re: Quiz: Can You Name That Pokémon?
23/25.
Because of course I know nothing about the Tapus.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Movie Has Found Its Amy Rose
@konicstar
I'd like him at least as supporting villain, bc in the games, he ultimately kicks nearly everything off nearly every time.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs

Golden Sun was my thing.
Waiting on GS4 fruitlessly.
I look and see basic short adventure mode, and uh.
I expected it to be good and defining?

Re: It's Official, The Switch Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Console Of All Time

No way Wii U is lowest selling Nintendo console with that around.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations
Huh.
Honestly, while I've barely played it (yet), I like Crossworlds so far.

Happy retirement to ya!
Re: Switch 2 Predicted To Follow In PlayStation And Xbox's Footsteps This Year With "Global Price Hike"
@calbeau
True, but we're looking at that pasttime/hobby dying out almost entirely.
Some greedy nutters wanna buy up everything and use it to give AI a massive buff, and debuff everything else.
Re: Talking Point: Metroid Prime 4 And The Burden Of Being 'Good Enough'
To me, the game has an identity crisis.
Haven't finished yet, but I've yet to reach a point where I get meaningful branching paths at all, like any other metroidvania, or any other numbered Metroid game, Prime or not.
It makes the open world desert feel like a "We forgot to give you exploration, so here".
The controls are also a point of contention for me. Twinstick is too slow. Motion controls would be nice, if you could actually use them normally. And strafe was removed from the list of things you could do not in the presence of something to lock onto.
Re: GameStop Kicks Off 2026 By Reportedly Shutting "Hundreds" Of Stores
@Arawn93
Yeah. I know ppl frown on Gamestop, but my local one was actually pretty nice.
Now it's just gone..with no viable alternative.
Am I gonna wait ages for a shipment that could get nicked? Go digital and use up precious storage space once more?
Nah.

Re: Today Is Doug Bowser's Final Day As Nintendo Of America President
@Mgalens Arc Rise Fantasia?
I vaguely remember that name.
What kind of game was it?
Re: Nintendo Comments On Metroid Prime 4's Placement In The Metroid Timeline
@HalBailman
Apart from 4, afaik, they are all inbetween OG Metroid, and Metroid 2.
Possible that Fed Force is also after 2 though.
Re: Nintendo Comments On Metroid Prime 4's Placement In The Metroid Timeline
Some fair comments.
Honestly, when Dread was a thing, I genuinely thought it would have Samus on the run from the federation bc Fusion's ending.

Re: Talking Point: Does It Bother You That Big Games Companies Are Using GenAI?
Shrine's Legacy mentioned.
Can't wait to try that on console.
I'm just like, I hate AI use becoming the norm.
I thought it was used in search engines and stuff though?
