xbox has literally nothing of value for nintendo fans except for the banjo kazooie IP and maybe killer instinct

I have this artbook in japanese and have been using the google translate camera to read the comments. It's really fascinating to see all the factors that contributed to the designs, for example designing the archer asterisk around the story of the mother that was in the forest (one of the toughest asterisk fights).

If you can, buy it, you'll love to go through this book

SNES usa. The most practical and also feel big when actually grabbing them. The super famicom has a better label but not being able to see the title sucks.
Cant believe n64 is winning, just having the game image in the label without any formatting is not that good, same as with the boxes

50/50 at 1333 votes, damn!
I like both designs, but i love seeing the main characters at the front. They look really cool and, along with the job system, it's the most memorable part of the game. mgrgrgrgr

I'D LOVE this for my 4yo daughter, she loves pikmin (she watches the short movies all the time and makes me play pikmin 1 rather frecquently). I've been looking for the pikmin amiibo, but it's hard to come by here in argentina.

Anyways, great controller for the lil kid in the house. I'd buy it.

pokemon is always targeted at kids and teens, and the characters in this ad are really young. So it's normal that an 18yo guy (in 2024) would have nostalgia for a game he played when he was 7 (in 2013).

In the same way, I played gen 1 when i was 11 (in 2000), and in the span of 13 years i went from loving it to dropping it to loving it again on XY. Of course i was nostalgic for gen 1 when it was 2013... and now it's been 11 years from that.

So, it's all math. Years have more weight when you're a kid. After 25, every year feels like yesterday. I myself, still see the ps4 as current and the ps5 like it just came out last year.

It's too bad that fan-translated games never make it to these lists, because Star Ocean Blue Sphere is an amazing action rpg with one of the best sprite works on the console (if we take out non-action games like the sakura taisen ones), the second Pokemon TCG game and Samurai Kid, all really good games.

I like the original more. I always loved how peach could be anything, like a soccer player, smash fighter, kart driver, etc., while being super feminine and happy-looking (like in smash, where she seems super happy that she can KO you with her butt tackle).
In super mario rpg, she hits you with an umbrella, fan or a frying pan, and has healing powers... but she also has a AOE bomb attack and is the best character in the game.

I feel like it's more fun when she can do anything (like fencing and cooking in Showtime) and still be happy and feminine.

EDIT: btw, is her in-game model changing? if it's just the box art, then it's all just a kirby situation and nothing else

Big fan of the first one, just downloaded 2 in anticipation for the missing one

Alright, this is now my MOST ANTICIPATED GAME FOR 2022.

We'll get the inevitable 4gb cartridge that's just a launcher that needs 21gb of download data. And the box will have a plain blank inner cover.

scrolls furiously to the comments section to make a sarcastic comment about peppa pig's game

Finally, a worthy rival to breath of the wild

Im a filthy pirate, so i have everything. Having said that, let me say this: banjo, sephiroth and sora are the only newcomers that i really like (imagine paying for that lego dude)

It's all race, all color, again... They should make a mario movie where mario and luigi are 120% italians, with the thick accent and the hand gestures

58 minutes?? alright, sign me in

@blockfight omg i did the same!! Flaps hands with mouth wide open

Sometimes i think twitter and social media in general were a mistake, but then I'm reminded of hideki kamiya's twitter account

Well, the comments are spot-on, the game looks too generic. It's like melty blood without interesting characters, like arcana heart without the lewdness, like under night without personality, it's missing something like idk, some mech wearing a kimono or a bear with a skateboard or a maid with a horse head or something wacky like that

What a coincidence, Snes Drunk released a video about Cotton 100% today

Looking forward to it.

Just want to take this time to appreciate that we still have video game news websites that have their own styles and it's not just twitter 24/7. I loved going to gametrailers.com but it has been replaced entirely by youtube, but these articles cannot be replaced by twitter.
Thanks for your hard work, love the website.

should've been free but with sponsors

@RupeeClock Why would they change the names of the pokeballs? i mean, it's a biiiit more intuitive to have

poke - great - ultra
than
poke - super - hyper

but when i was a kid, i tought the great ball was to catch big pokemons like snorlax

i have a small collection that includes:

• SNES games that i have from when I was a kid (like 40)
• Super Famicom games from when I went to japan (only 10 or 12, all classics like alttp, super metroid, dkc2, kirby, ff6)
• PSP games (10 from its era, plus 5 from the japan trip)

That's it, then it's botw on switch and pokemonY on 3ds.

get ready nintendo, people will come from ALL AROUND THE WORLD to shop in argentina('s digital store).

Dont care. But it has waifus. So I care.

The article is long af, i just want to say that her work in Celeste is great, mostly for the main theme, the song that plays during the windy segment and the song that plays when you're near the summit. Very good

The first game is great for many reasons (plot, aesthetic, art direction, music) and one of them is the fact that it doesnt shove LGBT ideology down your throat.
It's a story about Max, her hometown and her friendship with Chloe (it doesnt even have to be two lesbians if you dont want to, you can make max straight and kiss that cringe dude).
The final part of chapter 3 and the final segment really stay with you after you finish the game.

Now, if True Colors only selling point is "LOOK, AN LGBT EXPERIENCE FOR US, THE ENLIGHTENED" then im out.

5 minutes sinnoh remakes
5 minutes legends arceus
18 minutes chinese moba crap, with interviews with devs and "pro" players and the roadmap for the next 2 years. glory to the ccp

the animation looks off and the jokes are cringy af

@Goat_FromBOTW yeah, man, you probably are lol. Reading a comment about someone having memories (from when he was 12 years old) about animal crossing new horizons is mesmerizing af.

SNES in 1992 when I was 3 years old. My mom was very grateful for videogames since they made me stay in one place for more than five minutes. Still have that ol' yellow console

im eager to find out if the dev community will be able to detach the day/night time cycle from the frame rate. Forcing the n64 version to play at 60fps instead of 20 makes days and nights last like 30 seconds ...

im all for this kind of games, but it honestly looks like a flash game

Ah crap, i clicked because i thought it said "DARKSTALKERS III". Well, bye

I think you guys need a second point scale for games that a very precisely aimed at KIDS.

"A bit too easy, even on the harder difficulty"

It's something bad for, let's say, a shooter or an rpg; not for a platformer for 4 year-olds.

I think your point scale for kids should be like:

• not recommended: too hard or cryptic, combination of buttons or reading gets too complicated
• recommended but be aware of x thing: a great game for kids but has too much text or has hard bosses, etc.
• highly recommended: perfect for small kids, you can watch them play and provide help if they need it, but it's something for them
  kirby games, ayo the clown, yoshi games

great, the less shareholders, the better. I hope they keep going hybrid for the next gens, or next immediate gen at the least

im planning to travel again to tokyo in december, i hope SOMETHING remains open by then. I know it's just a building, but i've been there, and that arcade really brings color to ikebukuro

Bravely Default 2 and it's not even close.

i have a full time job and a family, i turn on animal crossing for a few minutes and i feel these two things:

1. I can collect the money tree, dig a few fossils and buy some clothes, and it'll all be worth the time.

2. I don't have enough time or in-game money to re-shape the island and move houses around.

A fellow NL poster gave me some tips last week but i need to find time to put them in practice.

AKIBA'S TRIP, loved it in the PSP but were never able to finish it. Now's the time!

i hate tencent more than i dislike MOBAs. Death to tencent, the ccp and taiwan is country.
Buy pokemon snap, guys, that game has actual soul.

@Mando44646 not objectively, you're right there. But race and sexual orientation have been HEAVILY politicized in recent years. The problem with that is that, if you want someone to represent what you believe, that someone might have a very extremist position and that leads us to "weaponizing" race and sexual orientation, and that ends up creating tribalism.

It sucks and it shouldn't be that way. It's not what we say, we actually respect each other, but the higher ups (the ones making this political) make a war of hate out of this..

If we're being reasonable here, japan-made characters don't look like japanese people either.

@hillyarb It's a bit mixed. They go from mediterranean in the south to german-blonde-white in the north (past the mountains). In argentina it's also like that, long countries (from south to north) generally have different physiognomies.

Media representation is not important at all, and im saying this as an ARGENTINIAN, we dont appear in any videogame except sports ones and we don't care. What's important, is to have characters that feel human.
Im a straight male and I loved max from life is strange, akiyama from yakuza 4 and zack from crisis core. Skin color representation is not important AT ALL.

And don't use the word LatinX, it's cringey at best and condescending at worst. Gracias y adios!

ok, so, delay the fight as much as possible and throw the best berries at the ninth attempt

@Pickettfury waa waa SAFE SPACE. Come on, dont like it, dont read it

And to think EA was the bad guy for releasing the same games every year...

They still suck, but they're not as shady as effin Tencent...

is it gonna fill the sides of the track with homeless people just like in real life??

bravely default 2 so low, man... at least it ranks, but it's a squenix jrpg!
