I hope Prime 4 continues to have the option of controlling like Metroid Prime. I always hated dual stick controls (and I never cared for traditional FPS games anyway, so I never had reason to adapt).
I think the biggest reason for Chris Pratt getting such a deafening "meh" is that he doesn't have the Fun Personified characterization that we're accustomed to having (at least from what we've seen so far). If anything, he comes off as the Straight Man /Fish Out of Water archetype.
Disney has been remembering Gargoyles over the past few years, which makes me happy as well. Wonder if they'll time the game with the new/re-released comics they announced a month-ish ago.
Also, bring back the Disney Afternoon Collection. The fact that it skipped Nintendo consoles is just... wrong.
I hope they update the bad word list to allow normal words that coincidentally contain bad words. When playing Shining Pearl, I tried to name my rival Grape (in contrast to me being Orange, of course), but the bad words list wouldn't allow it. I ended up having to use Graype.
Once upon a time, Xbox marketing was all about being "mature" and uploaded a flash cartoon where they had shallow parodies of Mario characters, and then a robot shows up and called them pansies, or something like that. Glad to see they've grown up.
I'm going to be completely honest here: I may end up getting these, even if they are cloud only. Natively running versions would be awesome, but I'm a Nintendo gamer who's been waiting for this for around 20 years.
With as much anger and hate as there is in the world, getting angry over this just isn't worth it.

You mean Marioreos.

Untitled Peach Game is going to look really good next to Untitled Goose Game.
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Only Includes One Title On The Game Cartridge
Disappointing, but not surprising.
Re: Feature: 20 Things You Might Have Missed In The Super Mario Bros. Wonder Reveal
That's not Chargin Chuck pushing against Daisy. It's some new variant of the something-bros family (hammer bro, sumo bro, etc).
Re: Nintendo's Upcoming Party Game Everybody 1-2-Switch! Showcases "100 Players At Once"
They named the horse Horace. Has Disney sued yet?
Re: Zelda: TOTK Players Discover Simple Way To Make Rupees With 'Frozen Meat Glitch'
The cold never bothered me anyway.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color, SNES & NES Library With Four More Titles
I always wanted to try Kirby Tilt n Tumble and the original Harvest Moon.
The other two are "Sure, why not?"
Re: Random: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's 'Whistle Sprint' Glitch Has Been Fixed In TOTK
"It's a shame, for sure, but we're not going to be losing any sleep over it. "
You'll be losing sleep from playing way into the wee hours.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Bros. Movie, And They're All Over The Place
So the story and characterization aren't great. That's par for the course for Illumination.
Re: Poll: Which Character Would You Like To See Return Next In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
Ridley.
Because why not.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime Remastered - A Long-Awaited And Stunning Return Of A Legend
I hope Prime 4 continues to have the option of controlling like Metroid Prime. I always hated dual stick controls (and I never cared for traditional FPS games anyway, so I never had reason to adapt).
Re: Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam Is Bringing The Puzzle Franchise Back To Switch
As soon as I saw him, I reacted with a big "OH!"
My wife watched it later, and she did the exact same thing.
Re: Random: Did You Know That Pokémon's HM 'Cut' Could Be Used On Tall Grass?
Yeah, I knew this, although I hadn't thought about it in forever, and never really cared to use it.
Considering how many fans would be too young for Gen 3 and earlier, I guess it makes sense that lots of people wouldn't know.
...
Dammit, I'm too young to feel this old!
Re: Back Page: EVERYONE STAY CALM. Here's How To Game Safely On Friday 13th
I was born on Friday the 13th, so I'll play whatever games I feel like.
So far, just Pokemon Go.
Re: Random: New Pokémon Cards Tell A Wholesome Evolution Story
I showed that to my wife. It gave her a case of the d'aawwws.
Re: Review: Please, Touch The Artwork - And We Saw That It Was Good, Very Good
I have played the demo. Seemed like a nice, stressless puzzler.
Re: Random: G-Fuel Reveals Energy Formula Based On Conker's 'Great Mighty Poo'
Great Mighty Poo is a reasonably accurate description for the taste of energy drinks.
Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Arrive On Nintendo Switch January 2023
@Not_Soos Perhaps the title was fixed by the time you saw it? It originally said "Arrive on Switch Nintendo January 2023".
So now we've both ruined the joke.
Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Arrive On Switch Nintendo January 2023
[reads title]
It's cool that these are coming to Switch, but what's Nintendo January?
Re: Poll: So, What Do You Think Of Mario's Movie Voice?
I think the biggest reason for Chris Pratt getting such a deafening "meh" is that he doesn't have the Fun Personified characterization that we're accustomed to having (at least from what we've seen so far). If anything, he comes off as the Straight Man /Fish Out of Water archetype.
Re: You Can Now Purchase Shigeru Miyamoto's Pikmin T-Shirt
It's cool, but I have too many t-shirts already.
Re: The Minds Behind Danganronpa Reveal 'Master Detective Archives: Rain Code'
When he was looking in the mirror and crying out in horror, I thought he was reacting to his cowlick.
Re: Disney Is Remastering The Sega Genesis Platformer Gargoyles
They need to call this Gargoyles Reawakened.
Re: Round Up: Every Switch Announcement At The Disney & Marvel Games Showcase
Disney has been remembering Gargoyles over the past few years, which makes me happy as well. Wonder if they'll time the game with the new/re-released comics they announced a month-ish ago.
Also, bring back the Disney Afternoon Collection. The fact that it skipped Nintendo consoles is just... wrong.

Re: Nintendo Releases Update For Switch (Version 14.1.2), Here Are The Details
I hope they update the bad word list to allow normal words that coincidentally contain bad words. When playing Shining Pearl, I tried to name my rival Grape (in contrast to me being Orange, of course), but the bad words list wouldn't allow it. I ended up having to use Graype.
Re: Random: A Novelisation For Zelda: A Link To The Past Had A Very Different Name For Link
Does he get to play the flute/ocarina to defeat Paul's Voice?
Re: Bandai Namco Appears To Be Working On A "Remaster/Remake Of A 3D Action" Nintendo Game
Starfox Assault seems a reasonable guess, what with them developing the original.
Re: Video: Nintendo Switch Sports Gets A Brand New Overview Trailer, Out April 29th
I want the Resort Sword minigame where your pretending to be a samurai chopping down several other Mii pretend samurai in a row along a set path.
Re: Feature: 16 Theories About Link's Weird Arm In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2
The arm is necrotic. It's decomposition is why the nails are so pronounced (and why people (used to) think fingernails continue to grow after death).
Hope you weren't eating.

Re: '90s Sonic The Hedgehog Cartoons Speeding Onto Blu-ray
"The unaired pilot, featuring Jim Cummings as Dr Robotnik (whose voice you may recognise as Tigger)"
Or who you may recognize as Dr. Robotnic in the other Sonic cartoon that was airing at the same time. (And a bajillion other things, of course.)
Re: Random: Xbox Celebrates The GameCube (And The Dreamcast!) On Their 20th Anniversary
Once upon a time, Xbox marketing was all about being "mature" and uploaded a flash cartoon where they had shallow parodies of Mario characters, and then a robot shows up and called them pansies, or something like that. Glad to see they've grown up.
Also, the Wii needs a quincenera.
Re: Ed Sheeran Teases Pokémon GO Collab
My response to this is the same as every other musician Pokemon collaborated with this year:
Never heard of 'em.

Whenever I see capitalized Discord, my brain immediately goes to My Little Pony.
Re: Pikmin Bloom Is Now Available In The Americas
My older phone is not supported, which is odd considering I can play Pokemon Go. Maybe it'll be supported once the rollout has progressed some.
