I still have the one pantheon to finish... I was hoping to see the last of the endings before release. Now, should I get it for switch, or wait for it to come to other platforms I have more storage space on?
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.
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.
@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 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.
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.
@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.
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?
@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?

Hopefully that improves.

It's one of a handful I actually WANT to be ported to switch.

Quite a few purchases I need to make.
This is the last chance to get a lot of DLC and retro games.

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.

Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Calls For Industry-Wide Support Of Game Preservation Via Emulation
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.

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.

Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy Had A Core Dev Team Of Four, Surprisingly
Agreed.
I did have some trouble at first, as I didn't know the boost ball had been upgraded so it can attack.
Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy Had A Core Dev Team Of Four, Surprisingly
@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.
Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy Had A Core Dev Team Of Four, Surprisingly
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?

Re: Feature: Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Or That Time Mario Got Movin’ To Mozart

Thanks though!

I thought it was gonna be an old flash based game remaster.
I barely recognize the name.
Re: 'The Lost Records' Is A New Fan-Made Expansion That Brings Skyward Sword To Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
@SortingHat Perhaps so.
I'm just awkward.

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.

Btw, agreed more or less on switch vs Wii U.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Receives Its Second Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@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.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Receives Its Second Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Meanwhile, I'm comparing this to the original HW expension pass, which was the same price, but included a lot of content.
