@Fizza Some interesting changes, tho my poor Brellas wallow in anguish. I'm no good with Stringer but the buffs intrigue me, Chump might be legitimately good now. @waffleboat Painbrush needed it, the ink consumption and downtime really held the weapon back, compounded by how expensive Curling Bomb is too.
@NintendoByNature I highly recommend it. It was my first Souls game, and while the reputation of their difficulty can be a bit daunting, it gives you the freedom to approach the game how you want, while also being fantastically designed.
@Serpenterror A well made Starcraft movie would rule, could even do several of them from OG Starcraft, Broodwar, and 2 with its expansions. Hell, it's about damn time.
VIII is number one for me, without a doubt. Then V, and XI in third. Maybe VI fourth. I've played IV, VII, and IX, but didnt care for them near as much as my top four.
I've kept my eye on this, but it seems like more of the same with the boost/break based combat and disconnected stories, so its probably a pass from me.
They got alot of flak about it, but these illustrations are very well done. Even if I'm not a huge fan of some of the designs, I cant deny the artist is talented
@Realness I've been playing 3U on my Wii U. I went Risebreak, WorldBorne, GU, and after 3U I'll be playing 4U and possibly Frontier Z. I've got too much to play as well but Monster Hunter clicked super hard for me so I've been playing it consistently since Rise launched.
@Realness I needed the mats for my Gunlance shelling augment, and then I just kept going updating my builds. I gave alot of weapons serious tries so I was making builds for quite some time. Are you in the Monster Hunter Gathering Hall discord by any chance? I think earlier is first time I mentioned 3U on here if I remember right.
As a lifelong Paper Mario fan, unfortunately I simply did not enjoy Sticker Star. I loved Color Splash tho, and would have loved Origami King were it not for its puzzle based combat, which I found genuinely frustrating. Time AND turn limited puzzles? No thank you.
I can't say it's too big of a deal for me, as I listen to metal and you dont see much of that in games with licensed music. But Sleeping Dogs had a metal station and the aforementioned Saints Row does as well.
I've only played the first, but there are few games I've disliked more. I'm not saying they should stop if others enjoy them, but that game irked me like no other.
Theres simply too many for me to choose from. Currently rocking Raid Under Storm and Stress by Deep Cut on repeat. The entirety of Paper Mario 64's soundtrack is also wonderful.

Not a day one, but eventually. Couldnt play Undead Nightmare as my disc wouldnt work (and my Xbox 360 is in rough shape too).

@AhabSpampurse Glad I read your comment, was concerned I'd beat it too quickly. 👍

Re: Top 100 Best Nintendo Games Of All Time
My biggest issue is Paper Mario 64 being as low as 50. Sacrilege I say!
Re: Random: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Devs "Too Occupied" To Play Elden Ring
@NintendoByNature I highly recommend it. It was my first Souls game, and while the reputation of their difficulty can be a bit daunting, it gives you the freedom to approach the game how you want, while also being fantastically designed.
Re: Nintendo Direct Showcase Confirmed For Tomorrow, 21st June
Its happening!!!!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Fans Needn't Lose Sleep Over Foamstars, Square Enix's 'Splatoon Rip-Off'
@blindsquarel I'd firmly put the first two Paper Mario games above Bug Fables. Didnt actually find Bug Fables that great, but to each their own.

Re: Japanese Charts: Etrian Odyssey Origins Sees Strong Debut, But Nothing Troubles Zelda: TOTK
@MetalKingShield 4 was good, 5 was pretty great, I found Nexus okay, but hopefully 6 rules. Waiting on my HD collection physical.
Re: Atlus Listening To Etrian Odyssey Fan Feedback For Future Entries
Waiting for my copy to ship. Hope EO6 isnt TOO far off.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong No Longer Releasing In The First Half Of 2023
@BabyYoda71 Its misattributed, not proven wrong by a game. It's not a phrase originally said by Shigeru Miyamoto
Re: Classic NES Title 'Gimmick!' Confirmed For Switch Release This July
I'd never heard of it, looks solid! Comes out on my birthday too
Re: Warner Bros. Locks In A New Release Date For The Minecraft Movie
@Serpenterror A well made Starcraft movie would rule, could even do several of them from OG Starcraft, Broodwar, and 2 with its expansions.
Hell, it's about damn time.

I've kept my eye on this, but it seems like more of the same with the boost/break based combat and disconnected stories, so its probably a pass from me.
Re: Talking Point: 20 Years Of The Best Game Boy Ever - How Did You Get Your GBA SP?
My mom worked as a waitress, found someone had forgotten it at their table and um, brought it home lol.
Still have it!
Re: These Lovely EarthBound Plushies Are Getting A Re-Release On Valentine's Day
I've been looking at these longingly for awhile now, I NEED NESS
Re: Talking Point: Who Did You Marry In Fire Emblem: Awakening?
I've played it several times over and can only remember S ranking Chrom for one run, several others as well tho.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Fire Emblem Engage?
It's an 8 for me, Chapter 15 so far, gameplay is real solid.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Engage - Relationships Get Sidelined By A Thrilling Combat-First Focus
Looking forward to Friday!
Re: Gallery: Fire Emblem Engage Main Character Designer Shares Stunning Artwork Of Heroes
@somebread We already knew this a long time ago.
They got alot of flak about it, but these illustrations are very well done. Even if I'm not a huge fan of some of the designs, I cant deny the artist is talented
Re: Splatoon 3 To Receive New Update This Week, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Was hoping for a bigger Bamboozler buff, but at least Big Swig is a bit better. One of my mains (Splattershot Nova) getting buffed is nice too.
Re: The Simpsons Hit & Run Soundtrack Is Out Now On Spotify And Apple Music
This game is fantastic.
Re: Splatoon 3 Expected To Receive New Balance Patch Update Soon
@LiNeR I think with the Chill Season update one map got a flanking route added, so maybe we will see more map tweaks
Re: Splatoon 3 Expected To Receive New Balance Patch Update Soon
Buff Bamboozler!
And Big Swig.
Re: Nintendo Introduces Lucina In Fire Emblem Engage
@Classic603 Only if Lon'qu was spelled Chrom 😉
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Gearing Up For "Several Free Title Updates" In 2023

Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Gearing Up For "Several Free Title Updates" In 2023
Excellent, really looking forward to it. Already Anomaly level 200 so I'm working on 3U right now.
Re: Review: Lil Gator Game - An Incredibly Charming Adventure With A Deep Message
@Joe-b Looks like it has an early discount, $18.19 CAD if I'm reading correctly, regularly $25.
Re: Review: Lil Gator Game - An Incredibly Charming Adventure With A Deep Message
This has been on my radar for some time, definitely going to grab it sooner rather than later.
Re: Splatoon 3 To Receive New Update This Week, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
What a colossal update, some very welcome adjustments too!
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Scarlet And Violet?
I couldn't give it a number score. Gameplay wise, fantastic, but the state it released in is unacceptable. It's a shame because its very fun too.
Re: Short Hike-Alike 'Lil Gator Game' Snaps Up 2022 Release Date
Nice, was thinking about this game the other day. Will pick it up.
Re: Soapbox: Paper Mario: Sticker Star Was When The Series Came Unstuck
As a lifelong Paper Mario fan, unfortunately I simply did not enjoy Sticker Star. I loved Color Splash tho, and would have loved Origami King were it not for its puzzle based combat, which I found genuinely frustrating. Time AND turn limited puzzles? No thank you.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Persona 5 Royal On Switch
50ish hours in. It plays and looks great.
Re: My Nintendo Japan Adds Themed N64 Merch - Shirts, Mugs & More
I have the expansion pack, where do I find the new icons? I NEED the Paper Mario ones.
Edit: Didnt realize it was for november. Sad
Re: Poll: What's The Best Piece Of Music In A Nintendo Game?
@BLD Was listening to it just last week, the heavy rock songs rule.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Piece Of Music In A Nintendo Game?
Theres some great and good songs in here, but nothing I'd consider the best of them all.
Re: Talking Point: Is The Golden Age Of Licensed Music In Games Over?
I can't say it's too big of a deal for me, as I listen to metal and you dont see much of that in games with licensed music. But Sleeping Dogs had a metal station and the aforementioned Saints Row does as well.
Re: Bravely Default Developer Team Asano Asks Fans If They Want A New Entry

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Music Track From A Nintendo Game?
Theres simply too many for me to choose from. Currently rocking Raid Under Storm and Stress by Deep Cut on repeat. The entirety of Paper Mario 64's soundtrack is also wonderful.
