GAME has been going downhill for years into an avenue of 'geek-merch' and sometimes just plain toys which is far removed from what most people want out of a 'game' store and this is just another nail in its coffin.
@PikaPhantom Oh nice! Yeah I thought there were some odd omissions here like Mario Wonder and maaybe Bayonetta 3?
Either way, it's great to see more content for Smash and I do agree with comments above that chucking in some music would be so easy but would make a lot of people happy!
Merry Christmas all! Hope everyone has a lovely time however you choose to celebrate Excited to jump into Pikmin 4 and Hogwarts Legacy when I get the chance
I wouldn't mind if they ported/built off Ultimate or went for an entirely new direction tbh! Perhaps a more Tekken-style type of fighting game or a more story driven experience.
Sephiroth's was so epic and I've never even played Final Fantasy VII! Everything was executed so perfectly and really showed off his personality in the best light.
As much as Mario Wonder is my GOTY, I would be more than happy to see it go to the excpetional TOTK!
I think Wonder should get 'Best Game Direction' though because of the whole 'no deadline' situacion as well as everything else that was mentioned in the 'Ask the Developer' interviews
I can't help but pull the cheesiest grin when I hear Funky's voice I absolutely love it though I understand it's not for everyone!
Looking forward to trying the tracks later, if it's anything like the other waves then I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun and that's what matters at the end of the day.
They're also adding Daisy as a Mii costume but you'll need her amiibo to use it!
Even though I was a PPP/Dino Dino Jungle supporter, there's no denying that this is a fantastic selection to round off the BCP which I must say has been a fun and wild ride. And we finally have another Bowser's Castle in 8 after nearly a decade wooo!!
I punched in Sunshine completely forgetting The Lost Levels exists. (Probably for good reasons!) I really want to love Sunshine but the jank physics for me can be a little too much sometimes :/
Mario Wonder would work too well as a Smash Bros. stage imo. I can imagine it functioning similarly to Midgar except you'd have to grab a Wonder Seed to stop the effect!
The HD rumble producing music is still really clever 6 years later, I just wish it was integrated into more titles! I know Kirby and Mario Party used it but still
I will hold my hands up and say I've had my fun with Just Dance games growing up,
I've even entered a few tournaments in recent years haha!
I'd say 3 and 4 was the series' peak with the amount of bangers and modes to enjoy.
After that though, they started phasing out most of the modes but the overall gameplay experience was still fine albeit a bit annoying when 2019-2022 changed pretty much nothing apart from adding new songs FIFA style.
And then came last years refresh and it looked pretty good, but they went from 600 songs in the previous streaming service to like 150 as well as taking away the world dance floor online mode and the game (at least in my experience) didn't run that well.
Shame really because the presentation and the dances themselves were of a high quality so hopefully they continue to improve it moving forward.
Although there was one badge challenge that I was a bit stuck on and had to hear the same line being said over and over again, so I thought it best to mute them for now. But when you go to turn it off in settings he says "Oh! Was it something I said?" which made me smile so I turned them back on again once I'd cleared the challenge.
Everything about this game from the development ethos to the new power-ups...it's just bliss. So much care and attention has been put into this title it's wonderful!
Oof, guess I'll have to be careful where I tread for the next few days. Having said that one thing I immediately looked up were clean rips of Mario and Luigi's voice and they're really good!

Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie

Looks the IP's in good hands which is what many people were worried about.

Well done my fellow ghosts!👻
Re: UK Charts: Mario Wonder Jumps Ahead Of Spider-Man 2 And Takes The Top Spot
Very well deserved!
Both games are great but 2D Mario really needed a win.😅
Re: Talking Point: What's The Most Difficult Mainline Mario Game?
I punched in Sunshine completely forgetting The Lost Levels exists. (Probably for good reasons!)
I really want to love Sunshine but the jank physics for me can be a little too much sometimes :/
Re: Random: Sakurai Reckons Both Mario Wonder And Spider-Man 2 Are Masterpieces
Mario Wonder would work too well as a Smash Bros. stage imo.
I can imagine it functioning similarly to Midgar except you'd have to grab a Wonder Seed to stop the effect!
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Another Game This Week
YES! Had a feeling it was coming soon!
Now hopefully we can get Smash Bros and DK64 hmmmm?

I'm also not a huge fan of today's music either😂
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder English Voice Actors Officially Announce Their Characters
I don't mind the talking flower voice that much!
Although there was one badge challenge that I was a bit stuck on and had to hear the same line being said over and over again, so I thought it best to mute them for now.
But when you go to turn it off in settings he says "Oh! Was it something I said?" which made me smile so I turned them back on again once I'd cleared the challenge.

Re: Mario & Luigi's New Voice Actor Has Been Revealed
YES! We finally get to put a face to a voice. I think he's done a great job from the clips we've heard so far and am excited to hear more.
But one question remains...
