Mariotag

My question is, is this game fully translated, unlike the earlier Cotton games?

So, uh, just a note, but you do realize in filming Back to the Future part 2, they used actual hoverboards that were banned, right?

The codes site doesn't appear to use the same login?
Well, I would go for it, but, seems like a poor idea rn.

Merry Christmas!

@Yosher Ah. Sounds about right.
Tbh I've been curious about your OC/persona for a while.

@Yosher Would that be your Yoshi persona you were gonna make? Can't help but be curious about it.

Really interesting rankings. I appreciate that the switch games are at the bottom. So much more could be done with the games at the point we're at now.
Also, Diamond&Pearl might make me a girl? 0-0'

Huh. Really interesting.
I missed out on the hotline days, but I have heard about them. Wondered what it'd be like.
And yeah. 100 NES games in a month sounds like it'd be torture. To a degree. But it'd make sense if they were all working together, and they had to complete them as a collective.

Yeah. I see no Sonic 06 added.
I'm probably the rare person who'd want that. Also the original Halo saga. Most of my Xbox games aren't supported.

@redpanda0310
This is so glaring.
I agree.

@JellyPop
It's a bit frustrating as I don't recall my login info.
I definitely had an account though.

They really need to get their act together.

I haven't gotten their newsletter in years.
I dunno why, cause I have had it checked and everything.

Why do they release demos this early??
It's basically begging to get itself torn down.

Well, I'd go with the energy theory, if I decided not to be boring and vote.
Funnily enough, Metroid Prime actually give some detail on space pirates trying to replicate her morph ball, with predictable results.

I'm impressed it's that bad.
Game development really does seem to be going downhill now compared to what they used to accomplish, given hardware restrictions.

Agreed.
I did have some trouble at first, as I didn't know the boost ball had been upgraded so it can attack.

@AnnoyingFrenzy
Oh, absolutely Emperor Ing! I actually ran out of ammo a couple times.
I also sometimes suffered against Quadraxis, and I forget the boss of the bog.

I never actually had trouble with Spider Guardian on either version.
Only Boost Guardian.
But the bosses in general were harder in MP2.

Am I the odd one out?

This looks neat honestly.
Hopefully it isn't too short a game.

This looks really neat! It's a shame it got a C&D, though not too surprising.

I really enjoyed this game.
I'd love to set it up again. Never enough room to do so however.
I don't know if the dance pads still work or not. :/

Which game is the article's art from?

@Pokester99 IKR?
I never got hit by any LoZ softlocks, but I'm definitely afraid of them.
It's amazing.

I still carry my 3ds with me everywhere, hoping for some.
But mostly, I just get steps for the step counter.
I never had much luck with streetpass outside comicon and other events. Kinda goes with living in the middle of nowhere.

Only two games I don't have the plot mostly remembered for are Hunters, (Idk if First Hunt counts), and Federation Force, which I haven't played.

I've waited a full console generation for this.

I remember this chapter. It's been a while.
Yeah, Nintendo had it right closer to the start. While I can understand them wanting different styles to keep the series from getting stale, limitations like what they have shouldn't be for the rest of the series.

Eh. I dunno when I'd be looking.
Thanks though!

I thought it was gonna be an old flash based game remaster.
I barely recognize the name.

@SortingHat Perhaps so.
I'm just awkward.

@Lone_Beagle I still need to learn how to dump the discs then.
@Jokerwolf That's been sorta my justification for playing mods and stuff up till now. I just don't wanna go too far.

Heh. If there were a way to play stuff like this without having to mess with the game, system, or piracy, it'd be great.

I'd honestly never heard of this until now.
Worth giving it a go if the chance arises?

Well, I just tried downloading stuff first time since the update. It's stuck. I've tried changing the DNS, clearing the cache, and powering off and on again. Any other suggestions?

Mario Party for N64 was my life at one point.
I want it done justice. Not a half measure.

What's this about datamined SMP DLC?

Human ghost girl thing?
Anyway, I'm excited!
Btw, agreed more or less on switch vs Wii U.

@SortingHat Eh, I never even heard of that game. Which era was it?
And, I think switch can be differentiated from an oversized 3ds.
3ds had more original games for it, though I will note a lot of the sequels weren't quite as good.

@SortingHat Ohh boy don't I know it.
I felt Wii era had unbalanced difficulty. That was when I first had an issue with Nintendo's games.
This whole switch era, with the exceptions of a few key games, has felt really shoddily put together. It's pretty much riding the coattails of Wii U and 3DS, only, because of the attention they're giving it, it's become their definitive console in a way. Most of the big name games are ports, or sequels that aren't completely their own thing, (Splatoon 2), or, they feel like mobile games in terms of bulk. Not quite AS bad as mobile games, but certainly far too compact. And ofc, because the games are releasing on switch, they're the best recognized games in the respective series. It's infuriating. And that's even before getting to joycon issues, NSO, and some of the limited time marketing strategies, though I will admit, if FE 2-6 came out of Japan with that strategy, I'd likely buy them.

@ModdedInkling I see your point. I played the original from pretty close to day 1 though, and got the dlc well before the 3ds version was announced. Only to have similar happen when I eventually caved and got the 3ds version. :/
Though, as someone who's played both, the original version of the DLC is absolutely harder.

@ModdedInkling Yeah, I was thinking more that the original HW got 4 new major expansions from the one dlc at $20, while AoC only gets like, 2. The games themselves are different on some levels, but I still look to see what worth I'm getting for my money.
And, as luck would have it, I just finished P5 Strikers.
I still don't know the new ending of royal, except, I think it's optional?

Meanwhile, I'm comparing this to the original HW expension pass, which was the same price, but included a lot of content.

So, uh, is it worth getting the demo just to see these designs?

I would absolutely go for them. I'd want the 3d though.
One regret I've had for a while is, apparently, I was offered a VB for $14. I don't actually remember saying no, but it seems that's the answer that got through.

Ppl be talking like you can lose everything you bought?
Also, this is neat, but kinda not as useful as I'd thought it would be.

I'm surprised everyone didn't just assume it was Mushroom Hill to begin with. Probably with a twist, like Green Hill.

@johnvboy I'm not necessarily thinking about the immediate prior games.
Like in the case of Super Mario Party. It's definitely a step up from some of the more recent Mario Party games, but imo it pales in comparison to early titles in the series, if only due to the scale of the game.
And, Paper Mario: The Origami King, I have yet to play it. I've heard good things about it, as well as some complaints. But I'd not see it holding its ground with the first three Paper Mario games. Yet because it sold a lot on switch, it's considered the "best".

@ImBackBB
Haha, it's not dying. If anything, its success is overwhelming.
And I mean that in both a good and bad way.
Anything that releases on switch seems to instantly become the most successful in the franchise it's from. I don't think a lot of these games deserve that extreme of success, because it takes away from what the previous "best" entries did that were amazing. Basically okaying a potential step down.

I do want an official release, but as it's unlikely anytime soon, I may have to get an unofficially translated cart.

Huh. Neat!
Way back when, I had wanted to use a Snap Station to print stuff from Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2. Unfortunately, we live in the middle of nowhere, and the chain that had the kiosks shut them down before I ever got to see one.

Honestly, I don't remember who the staff were back when I was active on the site in say, 2012, but that is indeed a familiar name.
Congrats on your return @ThomasBW84!

I would actually like this. Problem is, it's a mod. :/
I don't really wanna mod my main systems. I'd rather buy a spare system to mod.
