Re: Poll: Which is the Best Super Mario Game?

PanicPuppet

Ugh, more gushing for a new game on a system I don't yet own is pretty discouraging.

But anyways, I'll always have a soft spot for Sunshine as my favorite 3D entry. Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga (the original) is my favorite non-traditional Mario. With 2D its always up in the air but I enjoyed Super Mario World the most; both in All-Stars and as Mario Advance 2 on GBA.

Re: Feature: A Breakdown of the Nintendo Switch eShop Games of 2017

PanicPuppet

Wow, lots of fun looking indies! I've been going through a bit of a gaming dry spell lately. Not a whole lot of new stuff has been wowing me much on Wii U besides replaying some of my favorite GBA games. I have some 3DS eShop games I want to try out but I'm worried I might not like 'em.

Anyways, I'm really trying to hold back on getting a Switch until at least Mario Odyssey; but stuff like Mr. Shifty ,Shakedown Hawaii, Blaster Master Zero, and Runner 3 are really tempting me to get one sooner.

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Switch Presentation Summary

PanicPuppet

I'm really on board with all the stuff Switch is packing like the incredibly versatile Joy-Cons, HD rumble, and optional portability, etc.

But game-wise all that really got me legitimately interested was Mario Odyssey... its almost a misstep to not have it come out sooner, but I guess that's why all their attention has been focused Zelda being the big seller for the launch period.

While I never got MK8 either, I might just wait until Mario Odyssey comes out before "making the Switch."

Re: Video: Check Out These Canned Game Prototypes for Wii From Red Fly Studio

PanicPuppet

The Batman Arkham and Star Wars ones looked very good running on Wii hardware. The Arkham play style looks like it was adjusted for Wii fairly well. The use of pointer controls looked easy to wield. I enjoyed both Force Unleashed Wii ports so I'm sure RFS would've done these franchises good.

Its a shame they never came to be... Wii was a fantastic console!

Re: ​Talking Point: Ports vs. Sequels On The Nintendo Switch

PanicPuppet

@VoodooTrumpet Agreed. I'm STILL finding games that I want try out (or play again due to regretful trade-ins) on Gamecube after all this time. Such a vast library to explore!

Wii U really didn't have much for me to get into after the first 2 years. I only have 6 retail games that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'm sure most of them will be ported to Switch.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Nintendo Switch?

PanicPuppet

What an ingenious and slick machine Nintendo has unveiled!

After this past year of being underwhelmed overall by the Wii U's offerings, this really grabs my attention with its neat little Joy-Cons and the idea of playing console games on the go!

I'm definitely eager to learn more and hope March doesn't take too long!

Re: Choice Provisions Announces Runner 3 for 2017

PanicPuppet

I got the Bit.Trip Complete a couple years ago and got Runner 2 not too long after it came out. I enjoyed most of the original ones on Complete; and while I really liked the art style, humor and Charles Martinet's VA in Runner 2, something about the rhythm seemed off compared to the first one.

Its cool to hear a three-quel is in the works and I look forward to learning more!

Re: Poll: The GameCube is 15 Years Old - Pick Your Favourite Games

PanicPuppet

Wow where do I start? Some of my favorite games are on the ol' Cube: the always entertaining Smash Bros Melee, the unique twist on platforming that was Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid freaking Prime, and the tough-but-fun F-Zero GX.

Others favorites include various Sonic games like Adventure 2 Battle and Heroes, Star Fox Assault, Star Wars Rogue Squadron's II & III, and even movie-licensed games like Batman Begins and Spider-Man 1 & 2 were good.

Good times...

Re: Concept Art Surfaces from the Cancelled 'Epic Donald'

PanicPuppet

Epic Mickey was a fantastic idea in its conceptual stages with its darker atmosphere and creative way of bringing Oswald back to the public eye. But the final product was a bit more watered-down in terms of spookiness, and chalk-full of boring fetch quests on the side that only a completionist would really care about finishing.

The second one seemed a bit rushed and the co-op was often times frustrating. Power of Illusion is okay, though I haven't finished it yet.

I'm a pretty big Donald fan, but I personally never got into the whole Ducktales universe. I probably would've given it a try though.

Re: Metroid is 30 Years Old Today

PanicPuppet

Happy birthday Ms. Aran! Metroid has been one of, if not my absolute favorite game franchise ever since I started with Fusion all those years ago.

Prime 3 was always my personal favorite, as I felt it had a more proper cinematic feel without making it a literal interactive movie. (cough Other M cough)

Its sad Nintendo never wants to acknowledge a series' anniversary if its not Mario, Zelda, or Pokémon. (aka the cash-cows) I'm hopeful for Metroid's future and am fairly certain an NX reveal will be coming.

Re: Project Sonic 2017 Confirmed for Nintendo NX Release

PanicPuppet

I don't know what to say... it looks VERY promising after all this Boom junk. The fact it'll come to NX has me super excited!

The Resistance tagline already has me thinking up ideas about the story. Something like a time traveling, Sonic CD-type setup with the Classic and Modern eras; perhaps Eggman has taken over the eras? Oh the possibilities!
