@Amin_Parker I was just saying the same thing to a buddy! These are the good old days for my kids, for sure. I mean, aside from the Switch's bare bones menu issue, can it get much better for Nintendo fans?
I'm actually really interested in this one. Looks like the perfect blend of action/adventure and RPG for me!
@First_Amendment HAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣
First: Please go on! Second: Please tag me when you do! Third: Don't let these crazy commenters tell you to calm down! They're not the boss of your life! 🤣
@Cyrax77 if you've never played any of the games, how can they have ever had a chance to make an impression on you? You kinda don't have a right to an opinion on the games at all if you've never played one and never will.
@ehhh_puuutooo @echoplex Nintendo merged their handheld and home console divisions with the Switch. It isn't going anywhere for a loooong time. We may get a Switch+ by 2021, but definitely not the Super Switch or whatever the next gen is gonna be. For that, I predict something closer to 2024. Look to the Wii's life span for reference.
Just wondering why the article didn't include the actual Samus model that's in the linked site's portfolio..🤔 "Samus" by Kyle Hefley:https://www.artstation.com/artwork/o0nVk
Looks dope to me!
Regardless of the repeated point made about how "this is not just a clone, it's a super, mega, ultra clone!" my point is that if it can make a place for itself, it will surely evolve and become something other than the game it is obviously mimicking... like the Giana Sisters.
And to the person who chimed in and used all caps & no punctuation and told me to "GROW UP," keep on being you. Commenters like you are what makes being online so much fun 👍
Did everyone lose it on Bendy too when that came out? If this game can actually earn its place in the world with a great game, it deserves to live. Giana Sisters totally cloned Super Mario Bros, but they earned their place. Whiners stuck on the art style really don't understand just how often their favorite forms of media are blatant ripoffs of something better. (Most popular music hits employ the Millennial Whoop for that very reason.) But in this case Cuphead is more popular than its imitation.
@Filth_Element @wazlon what I hope for at the very least whenever I take a chance on one of these super-cheap Indies, is that they have heart. Even if the game seems undercooked, unpolished or too short, I see it as supporting an indie dev. So much work goes into these games, and no one should complain about paying $5 (or less) for a functional & not-so-bad game.
Anyone who's worried about how long it's taking for Chicken Wiggle need not. I've been waiting & asking about their upcoming title Treasurenauts for about 6 years now... And that's sure to come home soon enough 😄 These things take time! Have patience! In the meantime, just do what I did and buy the HD rerelease of Mutant Mudds for the second time to hold you over! 😑 https://youtu.be/D20iZfjn5jk
@sword_9mm fair enough. But I think you may be in the minority on a couple of those points. I agree that they could do with a change in the food/health replenishment department. But we aren't going backwards to hearts manifesting from grass cuttings. As for the jump mechanic, I just don't understand your point there...
@sword_9mm that's a horrible example. Many, many OG Zelda fans like myself completely connect with BotW as the modern realization of what we first played on the NES. This is the Zelda we had back then, met with the 3D in-world experience first introduced in Ocarina. Sure, it's missing some of what people expected with the repeated themes that were begun with Ocarina, but Hyrule as we knew it is destroyed. What would you expect? The whimsy of that world was lost and they've been just-surviving for 100 years.
What exactly were you missing in BotW? The Zelda theme and Field of Hyrule music? An Ocarina? I mean, imagine a handful of looping overworld songs while you're wandering and exploring for 20 hrs... That's guaranteed obnoxious.
And as for the weapon degredation, I think it's a refreshing idea the keeps battle and survival hand-in-hand, as it should be. You can't just take hit after hit on a shield and not expect it to split at some point. Likewise with a weapon. Some weapons are more brittle than others (stupidly brittle in some cases) but that's called variety and unexpected circumstances.
Not sure what the hurdles were that held me back from falling in love with Stardew... I want to love it though. I'll definitely be giving it another chance when the update drops. Because I'm hurting for something good to play on the Switch 😜
So glad to hear that Trine is back. My boy and I loved playing the first 2 on the Wii U, and I was bummed to read about the shortcomings of the third one... But this looks to be a perfect autumn season game for us 😁
@Moonlessky thank you. Amiibo support and the insane amount of awesome character sprites make the original better than 2. Talk about endless creative potential. Everytime I see a "Play Link's Awakening in Mario Maker 2" video I'm thinking, shut the hell up... We could've actually done that in part 1. I'm way salty about the removal of amiibo in 2.
@Dang69 he was rubbing salt in on the people who were supporting his lifeline. It was the worst time to be unsupportive and dismissive. Other Indie publishers like the dudes who put out Affordable Space Adventures were coming up with solutions and great games, while Nicalis was just riding Cave Story into the sunset after cutting Pixel's name off of his own creation. I stand by my original sentiment that Tyrone is a major... "questionable guy" or, can I say, "letter-after-C bag?"
I will always play a new Shin'en game. They are the definition of a high-quality indie studio.
This new one looks very interesting... I'll def be giving it a go.
The more I think about it the less I want a Switch Lite. I get the most out of my Switch because I regularly use both modes, so I think I'll try to snag a second one right before the Lite drops. Someone who wants a handheld-only is gonna unload their original model for dirt...
The simple, honest explanation is that Animal Crossing starts in the spring. Duh. Why is everyone acting like they've never played a dang AC game? All of the default experiences are springtime activities. They can't release it in autumn or winter. Who the heck wants to start with brown trees or snow? We build up to that. I don't understand why Nintendo is explaining the "delay" as such. It's so stupid.
Agh! Too many games! Whenever I read/hear some "gamer" whining about too many ports or not enough 3D games on the Switch, I just want to be able to look them dead in the eye and hock a fat loogie at their feet.
This is butt. It was soooo much fun making themed courses! Look, we don't necessarily need amiibo to include the epic variety of 8-Bit sprites... But c'mon! That's some BS.
I can't wait to see what GameFreak pulls out of their hat when they're saying that they're trying to do something "more exciting than Pokemon." All I see here is potential.
@Neft ...ah, the classic Nintendo-hating troll who creates a profile and comments a TL;DR on a Nintendo-focused site. 😂 Always amusing. Always pathetic.
The focus would no longer be on speedrunning... And that's completely fine with me. Numerous times, I've found myself standing and pondering how to best sort a bunch of powerful enemies just out of range, not worried about my speed. Working together to dispatch tough minibosses or groups of enemies would be really fun.
