Re: Poll: No, Really, What Was Nintendo's Worst Year?

@Matthew010 it's not impossible to remove one's personal feelings from there opinion, otherwise I would say 2019 was there worst year, which is silly. I'm pretty sure that the main reason people hate 2015 is its E3 which is silly. How hyped or disappointed one was at an announcement should become irrelevant once the game that was announced's actual quality is assessed.

@HotGoomba some of your dates are wrong there, also I was only talking about 2015. Furthermore, if in the year 2017, if there were as many bad releases as there were good ones, that wouldn't make it a wash. In the same way, games that were bad, but ultimately irrelevant in sales and expectation, don't negate the games that were well received and good performers.

I also forgot Triforce heroes in the year 2015, which was a reasonably good time. Also you probably never played Federation Force (2016), so you're assessment of it is incomplete.

@Matthew010 whether or not something interests you does not dictate its quality, things are not that subjective. I understand that Chibi Robo, amiibo festival, and ultra smash were bad, but they were hardly disappointing, because that implies the expectation that they were going to be good, which judging by the initial reaction, and overall sales, that wasn't the case. Also, I forgot Yoshi's Woolly World, which I don't personally care about, even so, its a quality title.

Re: Talking Point: ARMS Turns 3 And Deserves More Love Than Ever

@RPGamer If you implemented a platformer/beat em up story mode whose mechanics were a departure from the multiplayer modes and whose structure and level design was akin to that of Mario galaxy or 3d world, it would be pretty cool. Ambitious and unlikely but cool.

Arms deserved more money and time than they gave it.
If 5 is the average, like it should be when reviewing games, Arms is probably a 6.5/10

@RPGamer One predicated on the probability that my standards are higher than yours.

Arms is best played in a local party setting with the motion controls(not its most competitive control scheme). I'll admit its fencing like battles are neat, but when the characters only true differentiation is how they dodge or their movement speed (or their aerial options) the game's options feel cosmetic or shallow.

Re: Rumours About Pikmin 3 Coming To Nintendo Switch Intensify

@andykara2003 its not the map itself, its the "go here" function attached to it, as well as the stylus toss, which I found more accurate than the reticle. Pikmin 1 and 2 are not even comparable to 3 due to the inability to multi-task. Hypothetically, you could use Louie to multitask, but seeing as you had manually walk him over to his task, you might as well just use Olimar, and leave the Pikmin that are breaking down a wall to start breaking down another wall with a different group of Pikmin (because that's all you do in the overworlds of 2). It's not that Louie is worthless, it's just that in my experience, his uses were limited, which is not the case in 3.
