Re: Mutant Mudds Dev Announces New "Casual Online Party Game" For Switch, Supports Up To 13 Players

Paulo

Doesn't look appealing at all. Looks like a generic, low budget version of Runbow. Runbow is awesome, but this, It seems nobody asked for it. The last Atooi game that had me excited for was Xeodrifter, which is a pretty good Metroidvania. And Renegade Kid that an excellent run on the 3DS. But after announcing Treasurenauts and never finishing, seems like they entered a black hole in which bigger scale games are never finished and budget games such as Totes, Pictooi and now this, come like a dime a dozen, always disappointing. Really sad.

Re: Feature: Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Is The Best Mario Kart, Right? Let's Find Out

Paulo

It is a classic. Many great tracks, some of which have returned (Baby Park, Mushroom Bridge, Mario Circuit, Sherbet Land, Yoshi Circuit and Dino Dino Jungle) and some which should have returned (Wario Coloseum, one of my favorites).

The main problem with this game is that you are always a victim of too many itens. Otherwise one of the series' finest.

But the coolest thing by far here is that some of the tracks make reference to other tracks, feeling like a one world.

Re: Don't Say It Too Loud, But PS5 Has Outsold Wii U In A Year

Paulo

WiiU was and still is an amazing console. But Nintendo wanted it to be everything, forgetting a jack of all trades is a master of none. It was a Wii HD, It was assimetric gameplay, It was off TV etc and couldn't be everything at the same time. Therefore, If the marketing is confusing, of course the consumers will be confused too. Wanna play ZombiU off TV? Tough luck. On the other hand, assymetric multiplayer and multiplayer where one plays on the TV and the other plays on the GamePad is still unmatched in my opinion. And remember some of the best selling Switch games are WiiU games, like Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild.

Re: Metroid Prime Dev Confirms That Nintendo Blocked The Addition Of Super Metroid To The Game

Paulo

@KingMike no. Wind Waker was released in December 2002 in Japan and March 2003 in América. And the Collection released around the same time. And ALTTP for GBA released in Japan in March 2003 and in América in December 2003. So, the conclusions: they didn't want to release both in the same month in the same territory, and they didn't include ALTTP on the Collection to not cannibalise sales of the GBA game (not having an emulator ready like Super Metroid is a possibility, but why give It for free when you are charging 30 on the GBA?)

Re: Soapbox: Wii Sports Wasn't Just Waggle, It Was An Important Gateway To Gaming

Paulo

Wii Sports is still a blast to play, having aged very well. Wii Sports Resorts on the other hand is a improved cohesive version, too bad lacking Tennis and Baseball (and Boxing, but Sword Fighting is better). Recently I purchased additional copies of both game and funny they arrived on the mail today, on Wii's and Wii Sports' anniversary.

Re: Hardware Review: Game & Watch: The Legend Of Zelda - A Link To Link's Past

Paulo

No SNES titles will be available on G & W because of the extra buttons on the SNES pad. Having said that, including the Oracle games would have made more sense.

Not including the original Zelda Game & Watch title was indeed a missed opportunity. Yes, it's dual screen, but It was emulated 20 years ago on a single screen for G & W Gallery 4 for GBA.
