I was gifted World at War on the DS for Christmas one year, despite not being a COD fan. It remains the only COD game I've ever owned, and honestly, I'm not kinda proud of that fact. I had initially figured I would return the game, but against my better judgement I gave it a shot, and found it to be an unexpectedly solid experience. The graphics were basically on par with a PS1, and the controls took some getting used to, but it was otherwise a decently fun time.
Maybe this is a weird thing to be focusing on, but I cannot for the life of me find what the new class types are! I'm going to assume that they're character specific unless I can find evidence to suggest otherwise, which would be a bit of a bummer because I was really hoping they would add something akin to an assassin/ninja...
I don't typically buy music as physical media these days, but since I don't see these coming to Spotify anytime soon, I might have to make an exception. The collector in me is drawn to the limited edition of 3's soundtrack to get those flutes, but that trinity box is probably what I will end up getting just to have all of the music
Very excited for this one! Never played a lemmings game, and from what I think I understand about the series the closest thing I've played is probably some of the Mario vs Donkey Kong games, or maybe the Clank puzzle sections from Rift Apart? Either way, the trailer won me over. Hopefully it's as fun as it looks!
Looks cute and fun! Weird to think that if this had been revealed just a few years ago I would have dismissed it simply for being a deck-builder. Thank you, SteamWorld Quest and Slay the Spire for showing me how seriously awesome deck-builders can be!!
I have been getting giddy thinking about all the possibilities that Fuse might allow. Like, can I fuse a keese eye with a spear and then throw a homing spear? Or what about a homing boomerang?? What even happens when you shoot a korok-leaf arrow? What would happen if you fuse an arrow with a piece of meat? The UI seemed to indicate that you can fuse a weapon that has already been fused with something else, so what kind of limits are there? How many long sticks could I fuse together? Could I put a boulder at the end of a super long stick? I honestly cannot wait to get my hands on the game now
I, for one, am very excited after seeing those new mechanics demonstrated. Obviously they just showed some choice use cases, but I can see a lot of potential and can't wait to mess around with stuff and see what I can come up with on my own!
Smash Ultimate had the height of DLC in my opinion. You can't go wrong with Banjo-Kazooie, Joker, and my personal favorite, Sephiroth. Next best DLC has got to be Mario + Rabbids DK DLC. Really hoping that Sparks of Hope's Rayman DLC can live up to the high standard they set
@K1LLEGAL @Juanblue85 As far as I am aware, Gold Points cannot be spent on purchases on 3DS or Wii U eShops. However, I do believe you will still earn Gold Points for purchases on said eShops, so at least there's that.
I gotta say, I'm surprised by the effort that seems to have been put into the trailer. I was expecting a simple reel of gameplay with exciting music, possibly not even from the game, just generic Nintendo marketing fluff. But they gave us a proper trailer for Metroid Fusion. Whoever was in charge of putting it together: you are seen, and you are appreciated.
2017 is going to be a tough year to beat for me personally. BotW and Mario Odyssey are a killer 1-2 combo, but then there was also Splatoon 2, MK8D, SteamWorld Heist and Dig 2, and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle.
Though I must admit, if TotK lives up to the hype and 1 or 2 other Nintendo games turn out to be great (Pikmin 4?? Maybe??), 2023 might finally be the year to beat 2017 in my book, or at least equal it.
I am disappointed that there were no NSO updates regarding Stadium on N64 or any of the GB/GBA games, but at least that stop motion show looks kinda cute?
@Uncle_Franklin Personally, I have enjoying the h*ck out of Minish Cap, even despite the hangups I've encountered. For the most part I would say I've found the puzzles pretty manageable and fun, especially in dungeons, and I really love the art style which definitely adds to the game's charm and sort of breezy feeling for me.
The issues I've encountered have so far almost entirely been between dungeons either requiring mechanics that I don't recall being properly demonstrated, or just feeling very filler-y (cough library books cough). But to me these have been pretty minor inconveniences that have had very little impact on how much I have otherwise been enjoying the game.
Been playing Minish Cap via NSO and I encountered 2 specific moments wherein I got stuck for way too long and then the solution made me go "oh, maybe I'm just stupid then." It was the masks on the wall in the mayor's house, and not realizing that I could use the Mole Mitts to dig into those doorways filled with dirt.
The Switch has Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, which on their own make it the best for me personally, but then you've also got Metroid Dread, FE Three Houses and now Engage, Kirby and the Forgotten Lands, ACNH, Xenoblade, Smash Ultimate, and can I count Mario + Rabbids too? Please? Even when not considering the number of games that are ports/rereleases, or all the games playable through NSO apps, the Switch takes the top spot for me without a doubt.
Maybe it's just a me thing, but Samus's forward foot on the NA/EU cover looks just slightly off. To me her foot doesn't read as being flat on the ground. It's like she's got a rock in her boot and doesn't want to put any weight on her heel....

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Gets Creative With Vehicle Building, Fused Weapons
Naming the new "grab stuff" ability Ultra Hand cracked me up. I am now determined to use it to cook stuff, so that I can Grill Off with Ultra Hand!

Got the OoT 3DS and the Pokeball 2DS XL. Love both of them. Currently playing through the Ace Attorney series on the 2DS XL

Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - BOXBOY! Trilogy
@Paulo
Having played all 3 of them, I would say to go for Bye-Bye BoxBoy. It has the best variety of mechanics, in my opinion.
