I'm still trying to finish P5R and don't get me wrong it's definetly a great game but MAN is it disrespectful about my time... I'm 90hrs in, about to face the final boss [I assume] but if there's one thing I've learned is that I don't care for games that have a calendar - It triggers all sorts of anxiety within me [what if I'm not SUPER efficient with my time? Should I work out, date the character or dungeon dive?] Felt the same thing wit Fire Emblem 3 Houses, and that's one of the [if not the main] reasons why I've only done one path
You know what? I'm sure it's just too soon to tell, and every vote tips the balance by a lot this early on. That said, I'm glad Wind Waker Link is winning!
Jack Black, man! What a great casting decision right there! Dude just throws himself at the thing. I'm excited about most of them [Keegan Michael Key and Charlie Day are bound to be terrific as well]
Also: Fred Armisen - just antecipating those deadpan deliveries of Cranky Kong
Well, if by some miracle they DO release Metroid this year, along with Zelda AND Pikmin, I know of AT LEAST one blue furry dude who's going to have a pretty packed gaming year
Still hoping they can somehow untangle the localization and rights mess to bring 1 and 2 over as well...
Is this one a good place to start the series? Or is there some spoilertastic video retelling of 1 and 2 so I can jump in on 3 and 4 (and then this one?)
@SuperZeldaFun I'd expect a little more effort to play something with art from Murata, seeing that your profile pic is probably you cosplaying as one of ONE's more popular characters
@Crockin Yup, I'll only touch it after I'm done with SMT V, but the thing that I had to took some getting used to was not feeling attached to any one demon
A problem that Pokemon does not have - I'm usually finishing it with my favorites design-wise
I usually go with japanese ones, they generally have better design all around and are more "experimental", more conceptual... But the US version of this one takes the cake for me!
Like many I was put off of III without the background of I and II Will definitely give the first one a try, and if it's half as good as people say, that's a guaranteed 4 buys from me

Thank god we are not in the 2010's anymore! Else we could be looking at a Jennifer Lawrence X Bradley Cooper X Benndict Cucumberdick trio

@mariomaster96 Oh no! You're probably going to get A LOT of messages about Superstar Saga already coming to NSO...
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime Remastered?
So, 3 or 4 people thought it was abysmal. I VERY much would like to see what a good game are for those trolls/13yo edgelords
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Nintendo Direct?
Remasters galore! But awesome that Level 5 is back!

Re: Random: We Need To Talk About That Street Fighter 6 Logo, Capcom
It's either:
Re: Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition Shows Off Optional Upgrades
Yes, options are always nice! I was on the fence, but now I'm a lot more tempted to buy it!
Re: Random: Here's The Nintendo Switch-Like Steam Deck Compared To Some Other Stuff
Another apt comparison would be with a Wii Fit board. Now that could give us some sense of scale.
Re: Random: Here's The Nintendo Switch-Like Steam Deck Compared To Some Other Stuff
It reminds me of that infamous GameCube keyboard controller. Looks super comfortable! Two thumbs up!
Re: Random: Here's The Steam Deck In Comparison To Some Other Stuff
Yeah... I think they missed the mark on that one... Somehow I don't see myself lugging around a skateboard just to play some games...

Re: Mini Review: Shadow Man Remastered - A Rich, Inscrutable World To Get Lost In
I remember being super creeped out at the Asylum, but never really managed to finish the game...
Maybe I should give another go at it, but time is something that's harder and harder to come by...
Re: Review: Record Of Lodoss War: Deedlit In Wonder Labyrinth - Far More Than A Knock-Off Symphony Of The Night
It already looked good, glad to hear it reviews well. Can't wait for wait! (Damn you delay!)
Re: No Gravity Games Is Giving Away 19 Switch Titles For Free (North America)
@XBontendo Ok then, I guess we are doing this then! Thanks for the info!
Re: No Gravity Games Is Giving Away 19 Switch Titles For Free (North America)
Is there ANY worthwhile game in their catalogue?
Re: Poll: Metroid Dread Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Got it digitally and squeezed a couple of minutes before going to work. Looking forward to diving into it this weekend!
Re: Talking Point: Which Pokémon Legends: Arceus Starter Are You Going To Pick?
I was always a water starter type, but this time I think I'm going with Rowlet. That little guy is super adorable. (Also the cooler looking final Evo)
Re: Young Souls Shows Off Cool Co-Op Boss Fights, Due This Fall
This looks really good! I'm definitely interested!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #89 - Chrono Trigger
I usually go with japanese ones, they generally have better design all around and are more "experimental", more conceptual... But the US version of this one takes the cake for me!
Re: 'The Entire History Of JRPGs' Is Available Now From Bitmap Books
Not shipping to Brazil... Sad day
Re: Nihon Falcom Announce Four More 'Trails' Games Coming To Switch In The West
That's cool and all, but is any of them a self-contained story? Or will we have a Trails 3 situation all over again?
On that topic, bring 1 & 2 so we can play 3 and 4!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #85 - Dragon Quest
The series relies HEAVILY in Toriyama's style, and to not have that reflected on the boxart is baffling...
Re: Poll: What's The Best Dragon Quest Game?
My order (the ones I played), from lowest to highest:
IX, V, III, XI, VI
They are all great, but VI has a special place in my heart...
Re: Nintendo Will Attend Brazil’s Independent Game Festival, Latin America's Biggest Games Event
I think Brasil Game Show (BGS) is way bigger. I'd never heard of this one before...
Anyway, good news! The more they have a presence around here the better!
Re: Japanese Charts: Huge Debut For Monster Hunter Rise Sends Switch Sales Through The Roof
@GrailUK to put things in perspective, Year 5 Switch sold as much as Years 5, 6 and 7 3DS combined.
Edit: I meant to say it's outselling 3DS so far
(1.702M x 1.744M)
Re: Japanese Charts: Huge Debut For Monster Hunter Rise Sends Switch Sales Through The Roof
@Ryu_Niiyama It sold 94% of shipment. If anything, either Capcom under shipped or retailers under ordered. Anyway, huge numbers, they must be pleased
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
So nobody read the damn article, huh?
For me, I'd probably go for Golden Sun in exchange for Kirby (to keep in line with first party IPs and a somewhat equivalent franchise)
Re: Random: New Study Uncovers The Most Popular Pokémon By Country
People of Belize are alright in my book!
Re: Video: 2021 Is A Huge Year For Major Nintendo Anniversaries
On average, any given year would be a round number anniversary for 20% of Nintendo's IPs...
Given the huge amount of IPs owned by Nintendo, it shouldn't be a surprise that some years would have a lot of anniversaries...
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Game Boy Advance Games
Back when Castlevania was good, F-zero was still a thing and Golden Sun looked like a franchise with a lot of potential... Ah, the good ol' days...
Re: Reminder: Persona 5 Strikers Launches Today On Nintendo Switch
Now's the time to do what publishers did at the early years of the Switch:
"Oh, so you want me to buy this game? Well, first you'll have to get me the OTHER one. Then we'll check if it's viable"
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #77 - Super Mario 64 DS
I can definitely see what the Japanese one was going for - and it's a Japanese design alright: unorthodox framing and all!
BUT, even though the western is more traditional, even "safe" and a bit predictable, in the end it's the more effective of the two, so it got my vote
Re: Random: Pokémon Fan Finishes Challenge To Play Every Game Without Using Pokémon Twice
Aside from jolteon (which is not really useful, but I just like him so much) that's how I always played... I guess most play it like that...
Re: More Legend Of Heroes: Trails Of Cold Steel Games Are Coming To Switch
Like many I was put off of III without the background of I and II
Will definitely give the first one a try, and if it's half as good as people say, that's a guaranteed 4 buys from me
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #61 - Okamiden
Voting japanese on this one because it's more aligned with the series vibes.
Also, Kuni's scar is on the wrong side on the western box art.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #57 - Shadow Of The Ninja / Blue Shadow
They are all different kinds of awful, IMHO... Bad composition, unappealing art or weird logo... That one was a tough one to choose...
Re: Can You Match These Links To The Zelda Game They're From?
21 out of 21! Yes! Was kind of worried I'd get the oracles and DSs mixed up but what do you know, good guesses, I'd say!
