I sorta feel Broship s a different enough style to be its own thing, and that both 3ds games went the collectible/perfectionist route, so this is still in the top three for me. The darker tone was impressive. The whole Yoob chapter, coupled with an article gave me an impression on Yoshis that I won't soon forget.
@Tyranexx Heavily agreed. Especially when it's harmful to the budgets of early adopters.
Like, I lost $5 for getting Scarlet early, cause this bundle knocks stuff off the price, and the only time it was on sale to mitigate that....it only happened once?
@Tyranexx As far as I know, on top of the dlc being separately priced at more than if you got the bundle, it has gone on sale only a single time, for a small discount, shortly after release. Really stupid.
I just can't ever get pokemon gen 8 or 9 dlc on sale, or justify buying it when it seems from everything I see to be minimal additions, especially with multi waning.
@Ralek85 Hmm. Appreciated, but if that's all it is, I'll pass. The Arkham game predator missions kinda stressed me out in trying to get all objectives.
Hmm. Interesting. So I wasn't here from near the start after all?
I thought the origin point was "Virtual Console Reviews" from back in Wii era. I would use it to help determine which VC games to get, and see what was coming up.
They actually made a whole thing of this, in an uno reverse of Wii U. Nintendo is a brand, and switch is a brand in particular that has potentially multiple units per household. Goes without saying that not everyone will know the controversy, and consoles and games will be snapped up.
But by paying for success with the trust of others, in a sense, how will the momentum fare I wonder?
These are genuinely amazing! Granted, I came in a couple years late to the gaming fold, but, never actually got to send anything in...nor am I an artist.
I'm impressed anybody knew about FE Genealogy back then. The Chrono Trigger pieces are amazing, as per the game itself. The Mario and Yoshi art could have inspired stories of their own!
@LazyDaisy This is a massive agree. I like Smash, though the dlc has ironically taken some shine off it.. But Uprising was peak. And I find myself wondering if Sakurai did the OG Air Riders, cause if he didn't, that might explain it having not lived up to ppl's expectations.
On another note, I am glad this is a complete package. I'll not get it at launch though. Am curious where else Sakurai could go.
While we have our differences (I was never sociable enough back then to actually have playground talk, but heard of Pikablu all the same), I actually have a bunch of these on my list as Pokemon I like/appreciate, notable differences being that I always picked fire (not the Japanese name for Moltres, but the starter), and that I could never afford the Switch Pokemon DLC.
Huh. I mostly played without knowing which classes did what.
Had no idea Angela's Light set could do more than her dark. I had Keven dark all the way as well, with just one spell iirc. And finding out Charlotte was a healer was a big deal.
Second run, I picked Hawkeye as my main. Just gotta get back to it.
I found myself wondering if the Kong names are inherited, like titles. Not sure as of yet. But Pauline inheriting a name from a former Pauline makes some sense too.
Greedy greedy greedy, it's the name of the show. Greedy greedy greedy, they've got wallets y'know?
Yeah. Just feels like another prideful and greedy step to mirror some of the other stuff they've done lately.
Last betrayal of this nature I remember though, was when the Pokemon anime was taken from 4kids, prob for good reason, and they decided they wouldn't spend a cent more than they had to for the dub.. I didn't notice it at the time, but the OG VAs weren't the only ones shafted...

I checked today, and they don't count.
Re: Feature: The Tightest, Briskest Mario & Luigi Game Turns 20 Today And Deserves More Love
Didn't know there were softlocks.
Anyway, I really appreciate this game.
I sorta feel Broship s a different enough style to be its own thing, and that both 3ds games went the collectible/perfectionist route, so this is still in the top three for me.
The darker tone was impressive. The whole Yoob chapter, coupled with an article gave me an impression on Yoshis that I won't soon forget.

@Grim Do online battles count toward that 1000?

@Ralek85
Ah. Shame. And, it's only missions?
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)

Unfortunately, storage space is a major concern for me rn.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Was The Best-Selling Nintendo Game In October (US)
@Tyranexx For Scarlet, yes.
For ZA, almost.
I just can't ever get pokemon gen 8 or 9 dlc on sale, or justify buying it when it seems from everything I see to be minimal additions, especially with multi waning.
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
@Solid_Python
Crossworlds is on sale too?
For how much? I saw pretty much nothing on this.
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
@Ralek85 Hmm. Appreciated, but if that's all it is, I'll pass.
The Arkham game predator missions kinda stressed me out in trying to get all objectives.
And maybe Switch 2 will offer a boost?
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Was The Best-Selling Nintendo Game In October (US)
@Tyranexx I still need to get the DLC...and like, 5 trades.
Also, brand name presence is a thing, and I can't say I like it in this case. Even if I'm enjoying the game.
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)

I enjoy MGS occasionally...but it's hard for me to get into.

Meh. Any good DLC on sale?
Re: Sakurai Is Keen To Live An "Unassuming Life", Despite His Fame And Prestige
Interesting.
I can see why he wants to be out the spotlight.
Far too easy to be made a villain.
Same time, I respect the insane efforts he makes. I missed out on friending him on switch, sadly.
Re: Review: Kirby Air Riders (Switch 2) - Incredibly Chaotic, But Satisfyingly Deep & Rewarding Racing
Me after seeing the test demo: "Looks like the big thing I need to worry about is a lack of modes and content."
This is more or less something I'll be adding to my list.
Also, did not previously know Smash Run's idea came from OG Air Ride.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Kirby Air Riders?
@benmalsky198
Good to know. Not a quick buy for me, but something to consider.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Kirby Air Riders?
As of yet, I'm uncertain.
Only three modes? Haven't kept up with the directs.
It feels like there's quality for what's there, but like with smash, my worry is not enough ways to play.

Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 20 Today!

I thought the origin point was "Virtual Console Reviews" from back in Wii era.
I would use it to help determine which VC games to get, and see what was coming up.
Re: Nintendo States Its Intention To Acquire More Development Teams
Rareware PLEASE!
Golden back in the day.
Also, if it can help out the poor indie devs forced to make a game roughly every couple years, Gamefreak. Or The Pokemon Company.
Re: Talking Point: Smashing Switch 2 Numbers Prove Nintendo's Strategy Is Super Effective
I'm kinda still surprised but not completely.
They actually made a whole thing of this, in an uno reverse of Wii U. Nintendo is a brand, and switch is a brand in particular that has potentially multiple units per household. Goes without saying that not everyone will know the controversy, and consoles and games will be snapped up.

The Mario and Yoshi art could have inspired stories of their own!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
""Dark Echoes" is a cooler name, but western box art wins imo.
For those who didn't do it, the subtitle might be a reference to the 100% items ending of Prime 1. Cause that makes sense.

Re: Anniversary: SNES Action RPG 'Terranigma' Is 30 Years Old Today, And It's Still A 10/10 In Our Book
Collection of Gaia would be nice, yeah.
I think I have Illusion of, but haven't had my SNES set up in too long.
Re: Sonic Team's Boss Wants To Put More Sonic Characters In The Spotlight
I'm hopeful they could bring back a bunch of the rarer sighted characters too.
Been kinda hyped after seeing a couple SatAM revival projects, but that would not work with main universe.
Also can't help but note, 2d era had 4 main playable characters, the aforementioned Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and eventually Amy.
GBA games had an era where Cream was a fifth, but Superstars filled her long missing role with someone else.
Wonder if they could get a spotlight?

I barely played Gen 7 after the main story...I don't even remember!
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Director Marks Departure From Rare With A Poem
MS is just toxic to its own studios.
I'd love to see more Rareware games, and knowing Sea of Thieves is one makes me actually want it.
But will there be more? Doubtful.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z‑A Ranked Battles Season 1 Now Live, Reach 'Rank K' For A Special Reward
This is genuinely stupid imo.
I am not speedrunning this game, and I'm not that good at competitive.
That said, I'll try.
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Stellar Battles, But A Step Down From Arceus
Hmm.
So, some pros are particularly good, but the cons are particularly bad?
For the pros, I'm definitely glad I'm getting this.
Add to the cons the day 1 DLC though....
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo

Yeah. Hope they get their just desserts, and inspire Nintendo to actually improve digital security.
Re: PSA: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Already Being Datamined, Watch Out For Spoilers
Nintendo challenging the whole internet in futility again.
Welp, I'll find out how the game is when I get the game.
Re: Prepare For Even More Pokémon This Month, As New Horizons Series Lands UK Release Date

Ugh.
At least the OG dub score wasn't stock music.
Having said that, I've been keeping up. Was surprised the last season finale was kept intact, and not censored afaik.
Re: PSA: Pokémon Legends: Z-A eShop Preloads Go Live Ahead Of Launch
Welp, now to see if there'll be leaks, and a supremely ticked off Nintendo, cause, y'know, them vs the internet.
Re: Meet The Sages (And Zelda's Maid) In Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment
I'm seeing the official names now..
Honestly, I feel like the name for Zelda's maid was better in romanized Japanese.
Lanaria. Reference to Lanayru maybe?
But nahhh.
Faron is still the only region to not have the name of a golden goddess in it.
Re: Feature: From Z To A — Honouring My Favourite Pokémon, One Letter At A Time
Articuno having that extra appeal as a pokemon you needed to solve a puzzle to reach. It was right there the whole time.
Lugia being the main for the first movie I saw in theaters... (I couldn't handle other movies at the time. Toy Story 2 scared me half to death.)
Flygon being another fave of mine.
Re: Feature: From Z To A — Honouring My Favourite Pokémon, One Letter At A Time
Wow. This list is so relatable in so many places.
While we have our differences (I was never sociable enough back then to actually have playground talk, but heard of Pikablu all the same), I actually have a bunch of these on my list as Pokemon I like/appreciate, notable differences being that I always picked fire (not the Japanese name for Moltres, but the starter), and that I could never afford the Switch Pokemon DLC.
Re: Feature: Get A Job - 30 Years On, Seiken Densetsu 3's Class System Is Still One Of The Best

Was never good at this type of game though.
Re: Do Bananza And Odyssey Share The Same Pauline? Donkey Kong Dev Won't Confirm Anything

But Pauline inheriting a name from a former Pauline makes some sense too.

Re: Nintendo Adds Another Golden Sun Soundtrack To Nintendo Music
@Tyranexx
Eh. Ups and downs.
Lack of Golden Sun for 15 years has me bothered though.
As well as all the DLC.
