Mariotag

@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.

@Solid_Python
Crossworlds is on sale too?
For how much? I saw pretty much nothing on this.

@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?

@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.

@Ralek85
Is Mark of the Ninja purely stealth?
I enjoy MGS occasionally...but it's hard for me to get into.

Why is it like, everything is stuff I already have, except AI Nirvana?

Meh. Any good DLC on sale?

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.

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.

@benmalsky198
Good to know. Not a quick buy for me, but something to consider.

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.

So, free with platinum points....last I checked, that was free plus $20 shipping....

Way more expensive than what you'd find anywhere else.

Honestly, they look excellent.

I just hope the rest of the movie is up to this standard.

NA cover is disrespect to what is now such a massively popular franchise...

So, this article is telling me to get Astral Ascent?

Vampire Survivors would def be on my list if it were sidescrolling...

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.

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.

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.

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!

""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.

@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.

Collection of Gaia would be nice, yeah.

I think I have Illusion of, but haven't had my SNES set up in too long.

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?

@RupeeClock
Sun/Moon had them too?
I barely played Gen 7 after the main story...I don't even remember!

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.

This is genuinely stupid imo.

I am not speedrunning this game, and I'm not that good at competitive.

That said, I'll try.

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....

Welcome back to Nintendo vs the internet, where we have actual scum representing the internet side this time....

Yeah. Hope they get their just desserts, and inspire Nintendo to actually improve digital security.

Nintendo challenging the whole internet in futility again.

Welp, I'll find out how the game is when I get the game.

@BrazillianCara
You mean, they still change the music?

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.

Welp, now to see if there'll be leaks, and a supremely ticked off Nintendo, cause, y'know, them vs the internet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@Jayenkai This, though I see it already got a reply.
I only ever interacted with a team member like, once.

Best wishes Zion!

Interesting idea.
Probably proof FEH really is gonna end soon though.

Was never good at this type of game though.

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.

Huh. What's the difference between NES version and FDS version?

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...

Hope the contractors find good work.

@Tyranexx
Eh. Ups and downs.

Lack of Golden Sun for 15 years has me bothered though.

As well as all the DLC.

@ndunsmo
Seriously? Where is this stated?

@WaveBoy
Yup. If only I noticed it was under $20, instead of over $70...

I'm just like, do I take my game out with this event over? Or keep it in for another one?

@Tyranexx
Fair. Life happens. Still nice seeing you around.

Direct came and went. Instead of GS, we got a truckload of dlc. Even the premium sub got paid dlc. Gotta love it.

@WaveBoy
Meanwhile, I'm reminded of my big VB oopsie...
Passing one up for $19....

@Yoshi3

This.
This direct was the direct of paid dlc.

Even the premium subscription is getting paid dlc in the form of virtual boy games.

I've been upset with them since OG switch, and now they've gotten cocky from their success, to the point they're burning it as fuel.

@Flashlink99

Especially that environment...

Honestly, seeing all the traps in this game caught me off guard.

I ended up spoiled on the bench, but simply had to experience it for myself anyway.

Nowhere near as bad as the unnecessary double damage bosses imo. Especially considering the playable character is at least somewhat known for using traps herself.

@Tyranexx Ohhh yes. 4 is a must to me. But they'd probably need to make a remake package first.

And I figured. Even I'm feeling the burden.

I'd say, it isn't the difficulty that gets me. Rather, some cheapness with bosses.

The boss I most recently defeated had a neat gimmick where, aside from its two attack patterns, it summons other enemies to fight. But the boss does double damage, making an early game boss insanely difficult and cheap.

The idea is clear enough, but the double damage ruins it.

Having said that, I like the occasional cheap surprise.
The traps are a neat inclusion.
