Palamute's stance is a bit boring, the plastic support looks kind of unnecessary. The details don't look great either, but it probably looks better in real life since the figure is quite small
Magnamalo... just no... why are his legs just floating in the air? I don't think I like the size either. Probably looks awkward next to another Amiibo. Also I'm never a fan of plastic flames or air
The Palico is fine, dynamic stance and from the looks of it decent details
I had no problems winning tournaments without my amiibo and I'm an even better Amiibo trainer than I am a player. Get ready my Ridley, this is going to be a cakewalk.
Personally I like the dexit. It creates an unique meta in which some pokémon see the daylight that is competitive play again. It also encourages players to try the newly introduced Pokémon. I hope the next new game gives the spotlight to the other half of the pokédex (in addition to some new Pokémon). But I know I'm in the minority with this...
Also, those people who can't live without the entire dex, I suppose they cannot replay older games? Try something different for once.
@Heavyarms55 Everyone here can decide for themselves if they are ready to move on. The reason they give backlash is because they want to see improvement. I understand ignoring a franchise like Star Wars because you don't like the direction it's been taken (and like you said Star Wars and Pokémon are different cases, as it stands Disney can hardly be influenced because their products are just for profit not to be pieces of art) but asking the others to do the same is rather pointless when they have different intentions. You can see this game is rather rushed don't you? Look at the scaling of Wailord, it looks like a pool floaty:
Most of us are just hoping Gamefreak steps it up a bit with their next entry and to be a little less like Disney.
and who knows, even Star Wars may one day get a new director with an actual good take on the series.
God, I miss Professor Layton! All 6 main games are really solid and VS. Phoenix Wright is amazing as well. Pandora Box and Unwound Future are some of my favorite games ever. I doubt we'll have such good puzzle adventure games anytime soon.
Not bad, not too impressive. I kinda like the Grookey and Sobble final evolution. The last starter that I considered an impressive design was Greninja. Overall there are a lot of starters in the series that I find mediocre. People should stop expecting them to all be mind blowing.
If this Grookey is real and he comes with cool animations I'll definitely go with him.
Not yet, despite it being my second favorite 2d Zelda, I just can't bring myself to pay so much for such a short game.
...but I'm checking almost daily to see if anyone offers a reasonable price. To no avail, I guess Nintendo games are known for not dropping price for months... sigh
You waited all that time, for what? A new my little pony toy
Besides it kinda looking like the famous toy, I do like Galarian Ponyta. I was actually lucky enough that I forgot about this stream and watched only the last 10 minutes. I feel real bad for those people who stayed up all night for this.
Trying this game out left a bad taste in my mouth. I can't say one good thing about this game. Simply put this is not the Nintendo I love. I played 3 tracks and uninstalled it.
Tsk, might as well install a gameboy emulator on your phone. Trust me It's the better portable Mario Kart experience. Unlocking characters doesn't make you go bankrupt for one thing.
It all sounds very promising. I'm doing a playthrough with each DLC wave. The side story is most intriguing. Will it tell the events of what happened after Byleth fell into the abyss and disappeared for 5 years? Maybe that's when Byleth meets these new characters.
Also I was talking with a friend about how ridiculous it would be if they made petting dogs and cats paid DLC... They really did it...
It looks quite fun and silly. A review would've been appreciated but I have little doubt that it will be entertaining me. Also there's a discount, so heck, I'm going to press the A button now.
Even after all this time they haven't properly managed online. There should always be two tournaments in my opinion. One with items and one without. 1 stock as mentioned creates a number of unfair situations. Fast projectile spammers will no doubt stall for sudden death. No option to join a tournament with a friend locally either. It's poor decision making.
The more I play Monster Hunter World the more I like it. It's not surperior in every way when compared to previous entries, but it's a very good Monster Hunter. I'll put at least another 150 hours into it. I can't wait for Iceborne to release on PC!
Again just two designs for ALL the grunts. How hard is it to hire some outsiders to make a few more designs. Sword and Shield makes me wonder if Gamefreak even enjoys making Pokémon games anymore.
They should call it the Nintendo plain. They took most of the unique functionality away like they did with the 2DS. Typical Nintendo, they create hardware with neat functionalities but they don't back it up.
Like the 2DS I don't have to buy it. The Switch Lite doesn't bother me for that reason. Some people are looking for exactly this. Though removing TV functionality seems a bit overkill...
Still I'm a bit sad. I just want a true handheld console. With games specifically made for handheld. The Switch Lite won't be that. They say it's dedicated to handheld but developers will make games compatible for both Switches.
But I musn't complain. The regular Switch is still a great console that fits my lifestyle and increasing the playerbase is a good thing.
The music in Ocarina of Time has soul. They're amazing soundtracks. Breath of the Wild has stunning pieces too, but they don't provoke such a strong emotional response. I'm pretty sure nostalgia has little to do with it. It's only been a few years since I played Ocarina of Time for the first time.
Some of my favourites: Title theme, Hyrule Field, Ganondorf's Tower, Gerudo Valley, Lon Lon Ranch
Underwhelming Pokémon. They all appear to be variants of Pokémon I've seen before.
and I still strongly dislike Dynamax. It's lame that Pokémon now have a form that only lasts three turns. The bloated Pokémon look out of place, takes some of the immersion away. I wish there was a mode without it.
...Stupid unnecessary gimmicks. This game is as passionless as the 3DS entries. My faith in the Pokémon mainline games has been lost. It breaks my heart because it could've been so much more.
I'm interested. I played Ni No Kuni 2 and kinda liked it, I wasn't amazed though. I heard the first entry has a bit more charm so I'm looking forward to trying it.
Again with the whining about Kid Icarus Uprising's controls? Do you ever consider that your experience might not be everyone's experience? I thought Uprising's gameplay was a unique and refreshing take on the genre. Finally we got something different and people are complaining because it takes some time getting used to. Git gut
Wow, that is expensive! I payed less than 20,- for the entire collection (PC). Though I agree that price shouldn't affect the score. I'd give it a 7/10
I don't think the movie will be any better than its trailer. Don't think Sonic will change his looks mid through either. I'm not that hopeful. This is just a typical hollywood production. They're not into new and defiant ideas. They just work with proven formulas. The fact that Jim Carrey plays in it is also meaningless. Actors sell their soul to poor movies all the time. (Willem Dafou in Death Note for example) It doesn't have to be harmful to their carreer as long as they play their assigned role right and blame everything else on the directors...
Fact is this movie doesn't have to be that good to make money with all the controversy on the internet and its close release to Detective Pikachu. A lot of people will see this out of curiousity. Also kids aren't that critical or nostalgic.
