Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Price And Box Art Revealed

Oldwhig

Torn on this one. Like, but not love, Fire Emblem and find USD 80 too high for one game, plus possible DLC. Have all of then since Awakening.
However, the other ones on Switch (Engage and Three houses) are hard to find and over 100 USD where I live. I will wait for my local price and decide.

Re: Opinion: Mario Kart World Deserves Its Flowers, So Let's Stop Comparing It To MK8 Deluxe

Oldwhig

Very unpopular opinion, but I keep disliking Mario Kart more every new entry. I played every one only single player since the first one, and found they are more hectic and luck based every new entry, to a point that devalues skill.

There are races in MK8DX that I got hit 3 times with blue shells and lost because of it. World have these bland intermissions of open road for just one lap in a circuit, the elimination one is a good use of the open world through. Ironically, despite its gacha mechanics and auto acceleration, Tour felt a better blend of skill and luck than the later console games, with plenty of tracks available, with reverse and extreme versions of the tracks for variety.

Re: Nintendo Is Seeking Player Feedback On Game-Key Cards In Japan

Oldwhig

So far, I bought only the Kunitsu-gami on key card to test the format. For me, it is a mix of the worst aspects of physical and digital. It relies on the cart to play and uses most of the space on the memory.
I consider myself a physical first gamer and the lack of games on cart this generation discourages me on impulse purchases. Digital can be fine for indies, huge discounts or as a last resort for hard to find games.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2

Oldwhig

Got my preorder on Amazon Spain Friday morning. As soon as I saw on Reddit that european amazons were taking preorders, I checked all of then until I got one with the Mario Kart World bundle. No red tape or invitations only.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?

Oldwhig

I wanted a date for Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon ZA, or ports for other Metroid Prime 2 and 3, or F-zero/Star Fox ports(I can dream). Not a fan of Tomodachi Life and Rhythm Heaven. No news for Layton or Sonic racing. Only Hot Shots Golf and Patapon 1+2 for me, plus Super Robot Wars Y from the Japanese direct. 5/10.

Re: Mario Party Superstars Will Be The First Nintendo Game To Receive Brazilian Portuguese Localisation

Oldwhig

Brazilian here. Just created an account to post here. In the 3ds/WiiU gen some Nintendo games were localized to Pt-pt in Europe like Mario kart 8, Mario&Luigi dream team/ Paper jam, Mario party Island tour/Star rush and Super Mario maker.
Due to region lock, most brazilians were unable to enjoy Nintendo games in any variation of Portuguese. During Switch era, WiiU rereleases got Pt-pt if previously translated, however Mario kart 8 only has Portuguese in the EU version, which forces us to pay even more if we want it in a version of our language.
It is definitively a step in the right direction and is a day 1 buy for me. If only Advance Wars gets the same treatment...
