GAME’s main UK competition are Smyths, Argos, Curry’s etc.- None of them are specialist game stores, but they don’t seem to be having this problem. GAME has lost the one advantage they are supposed to have.
@Overzeal They changed two words to something that in no way affects the user experience, hardly censorship. Also, NintendoLife clearly isn’t censoring the topic, because it all the comments seem to be talking about.

Some of the footage includes versions of old mini games for more than 4 players.
Edit: looking at more footage, it seems that the 5th player is a cpu from a special space on the board, and the winner gets to keep them as a parter, a la Super Mario Party.
Trying to clear Gold stakes… got all the way to the final boss with a Polychrome Stencil build before the final blind ended up being “Disables a random joker”- not ideal for a deck whose entire gimmick is only having one joker.
@SpeedRunRocks Game development takes time. Toby has been very open about what’s happening behind the scenes, including causes of delays, which I think is much better than silence, even if it can feel like teasing at times.
I gave the PS5 version a 7/10- a fun look at New Caledonian culture with mechanics clearly inspired by BOTW, Wind Waker and Mario Odyssey, but somewhat shallow feeling.
The Outer Wilds and The House in Fata Morgana are both 30% off- two of the best games I’ve ever played, you owe it to yourself to check them out if you haven’t already.
@SuperRetroArt I think it’s a good feature for newer players. If you don’t like grinding then just… don’t. Also, I’m not sure the series has ever been consistent on that front. In the recent Three Houses, you can only do a limited number of extra battles on hard mode, whereas in the early Gaiden, you can grind infinitely.
2017: Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, MK8D, Horizon, Persona 5 (in the west), Nier Automata, Cuphead, PUBG, Resident Evil 7, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, Danganronpa 3, Fire Emblem Echoes, Metroid Samus Returns, Hollow Knight, Nioh, What Remains of Edith Finch, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Superstar Saga remake, Crash Bandicoot trilogy, Dragon Quest XI (in Japan), Sonic Mania, Mario+Rabbids, Divinity Original Sin 2, Doki Doki Literature Club, Fortnite, Star Fox 2, A Hat in Time, and more. 1986 is inarguably one of the most influential years in gaming, but 2017 has the most fun games today.
If Magikarp Jump has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Magikarp Jump has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Magikarp Jump has only one fan then that is me. If Magikarp Jump has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Magikarp Jump, then I am against the world.
(Also some games are missing- Sleep, Duel, etc.)

Pianta, with the Lil’ Dumpy.
Why did they call it that?

Dandelion Depths having 1/4 of the votes of Moo Moo Meadows is crazy.

If you zoom in real close, you can see a tiny Mega Salamence in the background.

I’m not on the leaderboard because I wasn’t logged in, but let it be known that I would be second place at the time of writing.
Re: Feature: The Long & Rainbow Road To 'Mario Kart World' - Part 2

On the map, you can see Toad’s Factory, and they played a remix of the music in the trailer.

Hopefully they improve the quest tracking!

Re: Random: Nintendo Reveals The Player Prediction Methods Used To Cut Zelda: TOTK's Load Times
I mean, you also have to fall through darkness for 15 seconds straight with noticeable frame rate dips. Pretty sure some loading is going on there.
Re: Random: Nintendo Created Its Own Zelda-Themed Social Media To Help TOTK Development
I think they did something similar for BOTW too.

Re: Balatro Celebrates 2 Million Units Sold With A Free Update Announcement
Trying to clear Gold stakes… got all the way to the final boss with a Polychrome Stencil build before the final blind ended up being “Disables a random joker”- not ideal for a deck whose entire gimmick is only having one joker.
Re: Toby Fox Shares Another Development Update On Deltarune Chapter 4
@SpeedRunRocks Game development takes time. Toby has been very open about what’s happening behind the scenes, including causes of delays, which I think is much better than silence, even if it can feel like teasing at times.

Re: Talking Point: 'Remake' Vs. 'Remaster' - What's Your Definition?
It’s only a remake if it has been coded from the ground up. If it is based on the original code, it is a remaster.
