@VexingInsanity It’s almost everywhere on the trailer and news posts. They’ll definitely be announcing the next update. That’s infinitely more likely than amiibo showcases or AR/VR
@ItsjustAnotherGamer That's why they are planning on doing both in coming years. You'll get your digital event while others are able to go in person if they chose. Options are great.
@Warioware Yeah I agree that a plan was definitely necessary. They either needed to have a better vision for the entire trilogy to tell each director, or to keep just one director for the entire thing.
@Warioware Those rumors are pretty much all made up. The whole “Lucasfilm Civil War” narrative has just been used by clickbait youtubers for the past couple years to the point that many people believe it. There isn’t any evidence of this actually happening, and from everything Dave and Jon have said, Kennedy has been a huge help in everything related to the mandalorian. This was even reiterated today in the making of the Mando finale episode on Disney+. A lot of people paint Kennedy as the villain for the sequels, though she also was a producer on all the good stuff Disney has made as well. While I enjoy the sequels, I can admit that there was a total lack of coordination among them. They were still financial successes though, and the general public would be completely lost if they ever removed them from canon, so I guarantee it won’t happen.
@Pikki Yeah, I stopped after chapter 1 season 7 (I think 7?), when I was looking forward to finished by the pass more than playing the game. One of my best gaming decisions.
@StefanN We probaly won't get any of those anytime soon. Most insiders are expecting a September Direct, which I think is reasonable. At this point, the next direct could be just about 4 weeks away! It's crazy that we're even able to expect one again after last year.
I’d argue that social media addiction is much worse than video games. The only game I’ve ever regretted sinking long periods of time into is fortnite, which borders the ideas of a social media platform. Social media is a rabbit hole of wasted time for the most part, in my opinion. I think it’s great in moderation, but it’s incredibly difficult (for me at least) to moderate that time. While it feels fun in the moment, I’m usually left empty afterwards. Games on the other hand are the opposite for me. It’s a long lasting form of enjoyment that many continue to dwell on for years. Games often make you think and engage with the content more than the mindless scrolling that ensues on social platforms.
And now I’m realizing that rant was hardly related to the article. So, in conclusion, there are things much worse than video games.
I'd take a remaster but I'd rather they release a brand new game that takes place on Wuhu Island and that is almost open world like Go Vacation. It would be even better if it worked online and you could see other Miis roaming around going to play different activites. You could even incorporate ideas from Tomadatchi Life and Miitomo and have a place where you own your own apartment. Basically I just want a giant mash up of all the Mii games into one ultimate package on switch.
Dragons Dawn of New Riders. The game is fine, but nothing mechanically special. But I love it, I grew up with Httyd, and have an original dungeon crawler game was a ton of fun, even if it was simple.
Woah, why are we giving up on a movie we haven't seen footage for? Wait until at least the trailer is out to start calling doom and gloom. Just because the original movie was one of the worst things ever created by mankind doesn't guarantee that this one will be bad.
@Wilforce Same here. Had my switch since launch. And currently me and my little brother share our switch, so this will allow us to always keep the original model at home docked and take the oled for handheld play. Really excited for it.
@cheesetastesgood I never got it for the Wii, and I've been wanting to play it for years on a modern console. That's why I'm buying it, and I couldn't be more excited. It'll be my second 3D Zelda game.
I’m just waiting for both to go live on Amazon US. They’re really random with when they put them out. Luckily I was able to get the Skyward Swird joycons and amiibo earlier this year, and the Fire Emblem anniversary edition, so I’m feeling pretty good about my luck
@JasmineDragon Oh my gosh, even banana blitz is insanely difficult. It was the first actual MB game I’ve purchased after I used to play it at the dentist as a kid. I can’t beat the bonus levels, let alone champion medal them. It’s the hardest game I’ve ever played, and I dread the fact that I’ll probably buy this one.
@Fighter_Hayabusa I’d highly recommend it. For those willing to take the time to build one, it’s a much better experience than I’ve had on my Xbox, and you can still get all the same games.
I just want to know why banana blitz hd is so hard. I’ve never been more frustrated with a game. I beat the main campaign last night and tried to champion medal a couple of earlier worlds, and I couldn’t do it. Gosh I now despise each and every one of those little monkeys.
@Ganner I don’t think it’s just you, but I’m definitely the opposite. I love the fact that they have them for everything I enjoy, and I see them as a great way to display all of the favorite franchises. I can understand why others don’t like them though, the style is kind of an acquired taste and they take up a ton of space if you really start to get into them.
@TruthisRare They just announced Game Builder Garage, and E3 is two weeks away. And a some of those indie games are some of the best games of all time, so I don't know. If you really don't like the Switch and Nintendo's output, sell it and buy a console that better suites your tastes.
@Heavyarms55 Of course Mojang is doing it for profit. They don’t make anything off the constant free updates they’ve put out over the past 10 years. I’m just saying that none of these practices are anti consumer or anti community. The marketplace and account migration are to aid consumers and give the community a place to thrive and build paid content on to bring in revenue. Here’s an article on how Noxcrew has been able to hire practically an entire indie studio thanks to the marketplace: https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/26/noxcrew-is-a-full-game-studio-making-content-for-minecraft-marketplace/
