@moodycat Hahaha that gave me a good laugh!
I'm glad most people here at Nintendo Life know that random numbers assigned by random people don't determine the quality of a game.

@moodycat You're saying that a game with 92 metascore is not objectively superior to a game with 78? How dare you, sir!

Gacha system transforms this game from a 8/10 into a 4/10 to me.

Thanks for the warning in the review!

They're absolutely rated as they should. Good enough games for the DS, but repetitive and limited by the hardware.

@Lanmanna Legendaries are overdesigned. The ones in the new game are hot mess and it's hard to even understand what they are, like Digimon.

I think most Pokémon nowadays are actually underdesigned. But they've done over 900 of them. At a certain point it's hard to come up with new ideas.

Can we talk about how much rounder the design of Pokémon got in the latter generations? With a few exceptions, most Pokémon lack the sharpness and aggressive design like Scyther for example. Everything feels way safer, friendlier, rounder and easier to make into plushies.

@Thrallherd A bit xenophobic, are we?

Famitsu review numbers are decided by a very complex process of throwing balls number from 4 to 40 in a pool and allowing an expert manatee to choose the most fitting one.

Resident Evil always had a fun B-movie vibe with its plot. This series makes the plot of RE feel like Citizen Kane.

Can they wait 4 years? I'll get a diploma if it means I'll oversee the preservation of Pokémon's history.

I remember F-Zero. Nintendo doesn't.

Whoever drew Chun-Li is clearly a man of culture.

People generally say that less is more, but in this case I think more is more. The Japan one is too simple.

And that's one of the reasons I'm happy Balan Wonderworld failed miserably. He's a petty man who build his career on the backs of more talented people than him.

@Dr_Lugae I hope it has the same effect for them. BDSP is messy but we don't know how things went behind the scenes. Maybe they didn't have enough time or resources.

High quality content? So the opposite of BDSP?

Everyone is being so negative! Every 2 months you can have a joycon without drift for a few days! That's a privilege!

It's a great game! A bit on the hard side but it's totally worth it!

This is incredibly sad and it shows how much money you can make off of people's addictions.

This man is unstoppable. Props to him for being one of the most dedicated developers out there!

Ridiculously overpriced and not featuring every game and mode a collection like this should. That's good ol' SEGA.

Visual novel?

I wasn't paying that much attention so I thought it would be a strategy game. Unfortunately it's a pass for me.

Even though I think the punishment was a bit harsh, Bowser was in the wrong.
This guy comes off as arrogant and self-righteous so I can't wait for his turn.

How about a 2D-HD version of the PSP remake with voice acting?

That would be the best thing that's ever happened since the Big Bang.

The Japanese one would've been better if it wasn't for the sepia filter, it makes the art look a bit boring.

@khululy I didn't care as much about the swearing, but I think you hit the nail in the head with the teenage trying to be edgy thing.
It was trying so hard to be mature that as a consequence it looked very immature.

If it's as a bad as the first one it's a hard pass. It started promising but became repetitive, predictable and boring very quickly.

@SiriusA Harrison Ford is irradiating our testicles with microwave satellite transmissions!

@Pip_Pipston Completely agree. I don't think voice acting is necessary in every game, but if you're gonna have cutscenes and 3D graphics I think voice acting is a must.

Overdesigned, I can barely make out what they are. Sometimes less is more.

Why would the game need voice acting? It's still something very new and barely used at all, right?

Don't know the guy, but he definitely looks the part!

@LimitedPower I think the main issue is exactly on the fact that Illumination is handling the animation. They're not even close to being the best animation studio out there and Mario is a franchise that many people love.

While I don't think any hatred is justified, if the studio that made Minions is handling it, I have very little hopes for anything above incredibly average.

Everyone pitying him doesn't know that he is a terrible terrible person, there are dozens of accounts to prove that.

He got his comeuppance with Balan Wonderworld.

My body was not ready for this.

@gaga64 How dare you speak ill of the 8th best 3D Mario game!

How many are there? Eight?

How about Poopnami?

How about a new and better game? Much better than the port of a game that even not taking into account the weird control scheme was ok at best?

Out of focus Mario looks horrible in the Japanese one.

American one has the whole group, which is way nicer

So, 10 out of 10 despite glaring frame rate issues on a 20 year old game. I love "professional" reviewers.
Wait... """"""""professional"""""""" reviewers.

Yeah, that looks better.

@Lem1697 Remember when he went to the suicide forest in Japan and filmed dead people? I do.

Yes! It's back! I've voted every week even though I never leave a comment!

Nice!!!

As per usual Japan gets the better ones.

I was saw the size of the cast as a detriment not a quality.
There are so many characters and you barely get to know any of them and gameplay wise a lot of them play exactly the same.

I think the asking price is a ripoff, but if they put Ogre Battle 64 it would become very tempting.

Here's for the next 1000!!!

@Royalblues While I do agree with your opinion, I think the main reason people reacted to your comment negatively is because you told people to grow up simply because they don't think the same way you do. Of course some overreacted and attacked you personally, but you did provoke a little bit.

I donated some money to Ukrainian charities that help the victims of war and there are quite a few that you can donate to and help them.

The western governments are not willing to help, but let's show them that the western people are with Ukraine.

Beautiful story, interesting characters.

Only 4 dungeons and 2 of them suck.

Better story, worse game.

Sure!
It offers a pathetic amount of content when compared to Game Pass. So definitely Nintendo is learning the benefits. They offer almost nothing and get loads of cash!!!
