@Axecon It was simple fun. No hard button combos for performing attacks, just swing some game controllers like you'd do in real life sports.
While it certainly helped a lot for attracting casual gamers, it was a real blast just to boot up and play some bowling or tennis and stop sitting down in the couch.
@Browny I know personally a lot of people that feel attacked because of someone eating a banana the usual way (peel off and start eating without a spoon) because that's somehow (they think) a thing to do in private.
But I don't live in the USA or in an European country, so maybe there's not a lot of people like this around there.
@Chocobo_Shepherd People who get upset by the hidden themes in this movie are the same people that turn everything they see into a forced adult perspective because they want to outrage about everything. It's the same people that will scream if they see anyone eating a banana in public.
The movie is about a family that had an old god gift for the women in their family line to protect themselves by turning into big red pandas, but it's not convenient in the modern world anymore. So, "Turning Red" talks about turning into the big RED panda.
That's it. A little 5 year old that watches the movie catches this. Anyone saying it's not for kids under 10 because of the themes is crazy.
And well. If Turning Hard is about a family curse that turns males in a family line into statues, sure, why not? What would be wrong about it?
@Degenerate_Mii They learned from the Wii U. After the Wara Wara Plaza, a feature not many people cared about, made the system very slow when loading the main menu, they did Switch UI as light as possible, removing any idea about Mii plazas or whatever that made loading the menu slow.
@anoyonmus It would be a good way to get people angry and for people to forget the game quickly. If they are saying that now, they will probably mantain the NO microtransactions after release.
Of course graphics would be heavily compromised, but it can be ported as successfully as other games like Doom Eternal, Hellblade or even a not so good port like The Witcher 3.
@MostHandsieBoy I mean, can't they be both? Anyway, they didn't say it's free for consumers, but only implied that consumers will be able to attend given the phrase "where creators and consumers alike can connect".
@Coalescence Objectively, the Gamecube was more powerful, and graphically more capable than the PS2.
Just watch for videos of Resident Evil 4 comparisons.
What killed it was that a lot of developers didn't like the mini disc because it was hard for them to fit their games in 1.4GB. So they went with PS2. Resident Evil 4 is also an example of a two-disc Gamecube game.
Had Nintendo gone for standard DVD disc (4.7GB), gaming history would be a lot different.
@MostHandsieBoy I agree. And those are some good examples of good voice acting. My point stands.
It's sad there's not more money given to English voice actors (who aren't "celebrities"). That's surely a big part on a lot of games and animation acting sounding so lifeless.
@MostHandsieBoy Sad that for all kind of animation movies and games, English dub is subpar a lot of times, with some exceptions here and there. It seems like voice actors are not paid enough to show feelings/emotions when recording.
@Spiders I agree with your statements. And thanks.
I'll actually give the game a try on PC when it releases tomorrow in Steam. But yeah, not hoping for any good experience base on all reviews I've read so far, on release date. Maybe some future patches could add content and improve combat mechanics.
@AlternateRT I'm saying that because they are next to the border and post in English.
But that defeats my point. Had the game been good, the game was good and I wouldn't care they speak English or German or whatever instead of Spanish. I would praise the game.
My OPINION, which everyone can, and probably will, be against, and that's okay, is that people should care about the quality of the product they buy, not about who made (developed in this case) said product.
The thing I said about being more from USA than from here (Mexico) was because of someone else giving them more merit (it seemed like that for me) just because of being a Mexican company.
@nofriendo I have as much rights to write my opinion on this game as anyone else.
The game is bad as several reviews already let people see. I gave my opinion on how I think you shouldn't care about the developer, but about the final product you, as a consumer, buy. That's my OPINION, none needs to care about it.
Coco was great, but Pixar isn't a Mexican based company, and I don't feel offended because of that, and the movie isn't any worse because of that. Just giving an example.
@RBRTMNZ The developers are more from the USA than from Mexico (they are located not that far from the USA-Mexico border). And even all their social network posts are posted in English, including their Twitter bio description. It seems they are not targeting their own country as potential buyers. I looked for alternate accounts in Spanish (like most companies do), but nope.
@CharlieGirl As a Mexican man, this doesn't mean anything to me at all.
These games get so much press in Mexico because there are not many Mexican-based (from people or companies that actually still live in Mexico) developers out there, so things like these get shown a lot whenever they exist.
A bad game is a bad game, no matter if it's from someone in your home country. Let's admire the games by what they are, not because of who developed them.
Been playing my 3DS backlog just recently. Both Bravely Defaults, Fire Emblem games, Theathrym Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger (DS game, I know) and a lot more.
While the console got no new games, it has a massive catalog of games.
@Pungu what's the other game they are releasing that people are commenting about?
Two Big releases. What's the other one?
Because if you mean the Scarlet and Violet variants, well, know it's only one Game development with a flag defining some little differences between two builds of the same source code.
@Rambler Yeah. Because USD$700 is as expensive as USD$1800.
I'll try to buy 6 Switch consoles using only USD$700. It's the same, after all.
Joking aside, while I'm not a figure collector myself, I can understand the price of a limited edition figure. They aren't common articles with something painted or knitted into them, and are usually painted by hand.
@stuntz0rZ Most houses in Dominican Republic look like that. You don't want a window being easily smashed down by thieves so they can enter. That's what the windows bars are for.
Not sure if trolling in the second part of your comment, but it's, in fact, very easy, for example, to make a Pokémon edited using some PC tool to look legal in game and in online trades.

Re: Poll: Are You Finding Sonic Origins' Various Editions And DLC Packs Confusing?
@sketchturner Yeah, that's why I said if "you pre-order".
Re: Poll: Are You Finding Sonic Origins' Various Editions And DLC Packs Confusing?
@AndyC_MK111 I mean. The Standard version contains the main games. Just Buy that and that's it, I guess.
All other things look like gimmicks or fanservice for me.
Re: Poll: Are You Finding Sonic Origins' Various Editions And DLC Packs Confusing?
@sketchturner Pre-order the Deluxe versión and you get everything since the Start Dash Pack is included for free.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Has Apparently Tested N64 And Game Boy Connectivity For Switch Online
@Angelic_Lapras_King They should add it in the "extra" pack that contains N64, some Sega console games and the Animal Crossing and Mario Kart DLC.
But knowing their pricing ways, they'll add a "third extra pack" for only game boy games, and you should pay USD$50 more.
Re: Review: Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars - Satisfying Fan Service That's A Bit Bare
"Simple gameplay?"
This thing has button combos and special attacks that not even Age of Calamity has. (And I loved that Hyrule Warriors).
Not sure what you talk about that in the review, but everything else is on point.
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes 'Shez' And 'Arval' Official Artwork Released
I like the art style.
Re: Hands On: Nintendo Switch Sports Has Great Highs, But Disappointing Lows

Re: Random: Kingdom Hearts Gets A Nod On The Latest Mickey Mouse Cartoon
@Aurumonado This Mickey Mouse style came back in 2013 with a series of shorts.
The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse was released un 2020. It's also a series of shorts, but newer. Also several 20 minute specials here and there

Re: Poll: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@HammerGalladeBro The author of this article seems to be located in Australia. There should be around 3 p.m. of Marth 25th right now.
But yeah, I get what you say. 2 more hours to go for the 24th here in Mexico.

Re: HAL Laboratory Talks About Kirby's 3D Future, Hopes New Entries Can Be "Even More Wild And Free"
@MostHandsieBoy Sure. That's how businesses work.
Are there people thinking game development was magic? I didn't know! You learn a thing or two everyday.
Re: HAL Laboratory Talks About Kirby's 3D Future, Hopes New Entries Can Be "Even More Wild And Free"
I loved the 3D-gameplay minigame for 3DS (Kirby's Blowout Blast). It sure was a good taste of future outings.
Re: LEGO Bricktales Invites You To Unlock Your Creativity This Year
@Paraka So, like a cake or an ice cream set? Where can I get those?
Re: Talking Point: Should We Still Be Pre-Ordering Games?
To be fair, videogames are not something people need, just like the Pui Pui Molcar You got.
But it's funny to buy and play games and collectibles. So, nothing wrong with that.

Re: Random: New Disney Pixar Movie 'Turning Red' Makes For The Perfect Super Mario Mashup
@StarPoint Being objective about the movie, a lot of people can agree the 3D animation used in the movie is top notch.
Story wise, yeah, not everyone's favorite, and that's alright.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Finally Gave Us Switch Folders, In A Very Nintendo Way
@Degenerate_Mii They learned from the Wii U. After the Wara Wara Plaza, a feature not many people cared about, made the system very slow when loading the main menu, they did Switch UI as light as possible, removing any idea about Mii plazas or whatever that made loading the menu slow.
Re: Don't Worry, Hogwarts Legacy Won't Contain Any Microtransactions

@Rhaoulos It's all the working industries, not only gaming companies.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Is Apparently Coming To Nintendo Switch
@VoidofLight Hellblade is an example of a game that didn't look "able to run on a Switch", but here we are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMpgeTJYOkw&ab_channel=HandheldPlayers
Of course graphics would be heavily compromised, but it can be ported as successfully as other games like Doom Eternal, Hellblade or even a not so good port like The Witcher 3.
Re: Review: Gal*Gun: Double Peace - One To Avoid Playing On Public Transport
