@RadioShadow Earthbound arguably includes both of those features. The battles aren’t random encounters, and if you time attacks right you can survive battles you wouldn’t have otherwise.
@sleepinglion Although I do enjoy Picard and Discovery to a slightly lesser degree than the classic shows, I am absolutely in love with Lower Decks. It feels much more like the older shows and I think that you might prefer it to the other new stuff. Prodigy, for a kids show, is pretty darn decent too!
That’s awesome! I bet he’ll get every single korok. But on a tangent, I do hope that’s just a plastic wrapper on his game and they don’t stamp that age rating right on the cover.
Still have a tattered old copy missing a page. Wish I had been old enough to get and treasure the whole package when it came out. I can still can smell the scratch and sniff card.
I’m sure all the great artists throughout history are rolling in their graves because of all the content they didn’t preserve as NFTs. There really isn’t any other way of preserving content such as art.
I used to play this in McDonald’s on their GameCube back in the day and it is probably what convinced me to move on from my beloved N64 to the next generation.
Got a two pack of protectors, one was OLED and one was original. Good thing there were two, because I pretty quickly ended up crumpling and furiously hurling the first try in the trash. Now my OLED is using an original switch protector and has a bunch of dust and such under the protector. Ugh…

Re: 'Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova' Details And Release Date Revealed
I’m pretty excited for this, even if only for the fact that new Trek games are starting to trickle out. I hope a decent Lower Decks game gets made.
Re: Poll: If Nintendo Released Mother 3 In The West, What Would It Be Called?
Endings is great - it would bookend the western series names perfectly.
Re: Fei Long Will Never Appear In Street Fighter Again, Says SFV Composer
That was probably my favorite scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Re: Memory Pak: Making New Memories With Earthbound In 2022
@RadioShadow Earthbound arguably includes both of those features. The battles aren’t random encounters, and if you time attacks right you can survive battles you wouldn’t have otherwise.
But I do share your love for Super Mario RPG.
Re: Man Dies Following An Incident Involving Stolen Pokémon Cards
Where I work, we barely give a damn about the theft of these cards, the place still runs fine, and nobody dies. Almost a paradise in comparison.
Re: Man Dies Following An Incident Involving Stolen Pokémon Cards
I personally don’t have “200% trust” in the competence of anyone.

Re: Random: Chilean Boy Recycles 500kg Of Cans To Buy Himself A Nintendo Switch (And Zelda)
That’s awesome! I bet he’ll get every single korok. But on a tangent, I do hope that’s just a plastic wrapper on his game and they don’t stamp that age rating right on the cover.
Re: Team17 CEO Says "Action Will Be Taken" Following Negative Report
“totally outside of the principles and values we have as a company”
That’s what I like to hear about NFTs.
Re: Review: EarthBound - A Quirky, Cosmic Adventure Bound To Warm Your Heart
An absolute perfect 10! I genuinely believe that this is game that can change who you are in all the best ways.
Re: Nintendo Shares The Original EarthBound Player's Guide Online
Still have a tattered old copy missing a page. Wish I had been old enough to get and treasure the whole package when it came out. I can still can smell the scratch and sniff card.
Re: Switch Publisher RedDeer.Games "Enters The World Of NFTs"
I suspect their imminent NFT future will resemble the recent NFT pasts of others.
Re: Feature: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Has Made Pokémon Downright Disturbing Again
The first alpha Rapidash I saw terrified me! I was almost asleep playing that first night and seeing it woke me right up.
Re: US Government Wants Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Locked Up For Five Years
Wow, that’s terrible. Fine him to high heavens, but don’t attack his freedom.
Re: Konami Is Committed To NFTs In Order To Preserve Beloved Content As "Commemorative Art"
I’m sure all the great artists throughout history are rolling in their graves because of all the content they didn’t preserve as NFTs. There really isn’t any other way of preserving content such as art.
Re: Team17 Confirms An End To Its 'MetaWorms' NFT Project
I hope this is a learning experience for all the other grifters who want to get rich quick.
Re: Ubisoft: Players "Don't Get" What Makes NFTs So Beneficial
Ubisoft is gross.
Re: Talking Point: What Could NFTs Mean For Gaming, And Why Are They So Divisive?
It seems to me to be a truly wasteful usage of technology whose sole purpose is to enable the rich to fleece ordinary people.
Re: Random: Logan Paul Paid $3.5 Million For Fake Pokémon Trading Cards
Oh well, he can always make a real nice GI Joe table now.
Re: Mother 4 "Unofficial Fan Project" Revealed, Here's Your First Look
I would love to play this, as a Mother game, before the end of the decade.
Re: Pokémon GO Creator's AR Platform Is Now Being Used To Hunt Bitcoin, Not Pocket Monsters
When I feel like making money I go to work.
Re: Talking Point: Is There A Better-Looking 20-Year-Old Game Than Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II?
I used to play this in McDonald’s on their GameCube back in the day and it is probably what convinced me to move on from my beloved N64 to the next generation.
Re: GTA Trilogy Remaster Music Tracks Confirmed By Rockstar
Phew! There’s still a lot a gems in there.
Re: Gallery: Rockstar Shares First Screenshots Of The GTA Trilogy For Nintendo Switch
Bummer about the download, but I’m quite happy that this is here. Yet another group of classic games for my favourite console ever.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update 2.0.0 Patch Notes - Final Major Update, Happy Home Paradise DLC And More
Can’t wait to get my gyroid on!
Re: Switch OLED Model Rates 2 Out Of 10 On Screen Durability Scratch Test
Got a two pack of protectors, one was OLED and one was original. Good thing there were two, because I pretty quickly ended up crumpling and furiously hurling the first try in the trash. Now my OLED is using an original switch protector and has a bunch of dust and such under the protector. Ugh…
Re: Suda51 Says It Would Be "Really Cool" To Reboot Or Remake Nintendo's Older IP
I’d love to see somebody new take a kick at the old Mother can.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The "Cloud Versions" Of Kingdom Hearts On Switch?
Glad to see how many people are as opposed to this scam as I am.
Re: Blossom Tales Sequel To Be Published By Playtonic Next Year
Blossom Tales is a sweet and endearing love letter to Link to the Past and I’m very happy to see a sequel on its way.
Re: The 'Castlevania Advance Collection' Has Been Rated For Switch In Taiwan
Now that two countries have rated it, it should only be a short time before the rest do and it’s released.
Re: Hollywood Voice Cast Revealed For 'The Last Worker' At The Venice Film Festival
Captain Lorca! This is great news! He was also fantastic as Marshal Zhukov.
Re: New PEGI Gambling Criteria Means Old Pokémon Games Would Now Be Rated 18+
I’m starting to think that these rating systems are quite useless and out of date today.
Anyone who is buying a video game now has access to all the information they need to make an educated decision.
I really wish Tipper Gore ceased to exist the moment the parental advisory came into her little head.
Re: New PEGI Gambling Criteria Means Old Pokémon Games Would Now Be Rated 18+
How utterly idiotic. They should clearly have grandfathered old titles. Nobody lives in the gutter because they got hooked on slots in Celadon City.
I’d rather let people make their own decisions than nanny and coddle them through life.
Re: Two New Characters Have Been Revealed For Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
I always liked Catdog, not to mention a couple of these other shows. I would like to see Rocko, an angry beaver, or even Quailman.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Infographic Shows Off 19 Games From Around The World
I’m definitely interested in Eastward for its Earthboundiness. I just hope its place of origin doesn’t limit the potential of the story.
Re: Grand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogy Reportedly Heading To Switch
Ooh, fingers crossed!
Re: Random: Someone Worked On Outer Worlds AND Outer Wilds At The Same Time, Somehow
Both are great games, must be nice to be involved in so much great sci-fi.
Re: EB Games Canada To Rebrand To GameStop By The End Of This Year
That sucks. I’ve shopped at Electronics Boutique as long as I can remember.
Re: 25 Seconds Of New EarthBound 64 Footage Emerges Online
I was so excited about this game back in the day, but in the end I’m almost glad it became Mother 3 and retained the art style of Earthbound/Mother 2.
Re: Teenager Hits $1.7 Million In Revenue During Pandemic Reselling Pokémon Cards, Game Consoles And More
@mercilessrobot
I’m assuming his 61 year old father supplied him with a “small loan.”
Re: Talking Point: Do You Want To See More Apple Arcade Games On Switch?
Yeah, just so I can finally get a Star Trek game on the Switch! (Even if it looks sort of terrible)
Re: Sega Will Start Selling NFTs Based On Its IPs This Summer
The entire human race is doomed if we continue to be so stupidly and pointlessly wasteful.
Re: Review: Resident Evil 4 - An Ageing Masterpiece Which Deserves More Care And Attention
As much as I’ve always enjoyed every version of this game, I’m surprised nobody else hated the aiming reticle on the Wii version.
That alone made me prefer the Gamecube’s version.
Re: Feature: Should You Buy Harvest Moon: One World, Or Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town?
Should you pick Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon?
You should pick Stardew Valley.
Re: EA Investigating Allegations One Of Its Employees Sold Rare FIFA Ultimate Team Cards For Cash
What an outstanding EA employee. He should probably be an executive.
Re: Miitopia Has An 18+ Rating In Russia Because Of Its Same-Sex Relationships
Russia sucks? Very old news.
Re: Jack Black Will Voice Claptrap In The Borderlands Movie
Suits him perfectly. Would never dream of watching it.
Re: Chinese Game Juggernaut Tencent To Acquire "Majority Stake" In Don't Starve Dev Klei Entertainment
Just like everything Tencent touches, produces, and is, this sucks.
Re: Spiritfarer Was Thunder Lotus' "Most Ambitious Launch" Ever, And There's More Work To Be Done
I appreciate this game just for giving me an excuse to use the word psychopomp.
Re: A Subnautica Physical Release Appears To Be Surfacing On Nintendo Switch
If they run even half decently I’ll end up with both.
