Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!

Paulo

Well, I guess he chose Sora for last because it's also his company's name and to match the announcement of the games. Nice for the fans, as he has been speculated to be in the roster for years.

What's next for Smash Bros? Of course, Nintendo will want it in the next system in the future. Will Sakurai make a new one or will Ultimate be ported with some adjustments?

Re: Feature: Best WarioWare Microgames Ever

@nessisonett too many excellent microgames. I honestly prefer Twisted due to its wackyness, fun factor and body of work, surpassing the original. Even Nintendo of America knew Twisted was better than Touched (which is still amazing) because they held on to it to release after the DS entry, since the DS was new to the market.

Re: Goodboy Galaxy Smashes Kickstarter Goal, Physical Game Boy Advance And Switch Editions Confirmed

@JHDK seems like Jools never finishes the game he promises while making smaller games in between. Treasurenauts has never been cancelled, is said to be alive, but hasn't appeared in some 7 years. Hatch Tales is out on the 3DS, but seems they can't complete the HD version. Meanwhile they release lower budget and lower quality titles such as Soccer Blast, Totes, Petadachi and Pictooi (has anybody asked for those?). My favorites Jools game is Xeodrifter and honestly I feel like his output was better in the Renegade Kid days.

Re: Soapbox: Playdate Sold Out In 20 Minutes - Is It Time For A New Nintendo Handheld?

Paulo

What I really want is a Switch Micro, like half the size or less of the original Switch.

A new handheld would demand new games and therefore split Nintendo's effort when things are going very well.

What they could and should do is take the Game & Watch concept to the next level. Make the Virtual Console Boy, a one-screen handheld with the ability to download NES, SNES, N64, NGC, GB and GBA games. That would sell more than hot cakes.

Re: Soapbox: Indies Lead The Way But Nintendo Shows Progress Representing People Of Colour

Paulo

Nice article, good job.

'Now, I’m not going to claim Nintendo as some bastion of POC representation and I can’t ignore where it has previously gone wrong. Mr. Game & Watch using a Native American silhouette (before being swiftly removed) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is perhaps the most recent example".

Though I believe this reaction was an exaggeration, since It was the character from the G&W title Fire Attack.

Re: Video: 11 Nintendo Themed Microgames We've Found In WarioWare: Get It Together!

Paulo

@jingounchained the features of the joycons will probably not be heavily used because of the Switch Lite. I think that is the same reason we are getting a new Mario Party (Nintendo even showed a Lite in the trailer explicitly saying all minigames can be played with button controls). I honestly think this lack of innovative controls hurt the games after all.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?

Paulo

I wanted a racing game (ExciteTruck, F-Zero, Wave Race or 1080) and got Cruis'n. I wanted Wario Land and got WarioWare. I wanted 2D Metroid and got one. I wanted Star Fox and didn't get It. I wanted Fatal Frame. I wanted the return of Advance Wars. Not everything was as I wanted, but I must appreciate what was shown. I rate the E3 Direct "Fantastic"
