Sounds like a fun idea so long as the spine text is easy to read

Yep, that's got Hisoka written allllll over it...

Please Nintendo, we're starving...

@Zaphod42 big Luigi moment...

MVC IS BAAAAACK!!! Already purchased

There was SO much untapped potential in Smash 3DS' Smash Run mode, and this looks to be capturing it wonderfully! I know omega strikers is free, so if this is too, then I'd totally give it a shot!

This collection is gonna sell SO well, I've got zero doubt we're gonna see a new MVC revealed in the next 5-7 years. The future is looking bright, my fellow true believers

Don't mind me, just waiting for the inevitable comments.

Aside from that, this thing seems pretty nifty, buuuut ~$33 Canadian is a bit steep. I could choose from a pretty sizeable selection of indies for that price.

Hope it makes its way over seas for whoever wants one, though!

Ahhh, that Hundred Line footage takes me back to the good old Danganronpa days. 1000% gonna check it out when it drops.

@russell-marlow maybe it'll headline a third collection? At this rate, seems like anything is possible

Well can they consider it a bit faster, please?

Megaman 11 felt like it was gonna be the start of the blue bomber's bounce back, and we even got a cool collection of the old ones!... And another! And another. And another... they're awesome to have, don't get me wrong, but they're not really a substitute for an actually new game, and always felt like they should've launched in between some new ones, like how Zelda get HD remasters and remakes in between the big releases.

Really hope we see something new from Megaman soon, cuz they're running out of games to put into two-part collections

The return of the classic MvCs is already amazing as it is, but if Marvel is as enthusiastic as they appear to be, maybe a proper MvC 4 (or 5, depending on how you look at Infinite) could ACTUALLY be in the cards, and that's insane to think about after the years of silence on this front

Love how the poll reads like Shovel Knight asking his audience if they still like him

(Spoilers, we do!)

One small step for switch profile icons, one very slightly larger step for a new DK game

Made of pixels (out of necessity, not style): definitely retro.
Sharp, Polygonal 3D: Retro.
Pre-HD: Kinda retro.
HD: Modern.
4K: Futuristic.

All from my perspective, of course.

Please please please please, I've been seeing toads everywhere I look, this needs to end

@N00BiSH whilst this outcome wouldn't surprise me, I feel like they won't be as heavy handed with the nostalgic distractions with this one, simply because it's live action. Doesn't seem like the type of movie where you could just slide in a reference to blowing into cartridges, nor just have 8-bit sprites scattered about. I may end up being wrong, but I've got faith that this one will be a bit more meaty than the Mario movie

A beautiful feature. Thank you, Akira Toriyama, for everything you brought to the world. Your impact will be felt for ages to come.

Wooo Monkey Ball!!!

This'll be the year when Chipotle finally announces their own fighting game, I can feel it

There's been rumours about a new 3D DK game made by the team behind Mario Odyssey for AGES now, and man, with all this DK side content we've been getting recently, now would be the perfect time for those rumours to pull through.

Ten years without a new DK game is just wild.

@Uncle_Franklin For those:

• We know what the game itself looks like, so there's no need for convincing right off the bat.
• The reveal itself is what people were hyped for, and obviously, CGI can be more cinematic in order to drive the weight of the event home.

I think Sakurai is referring more to new games that haven't had gameplay shown before, especially ones that don't come from an existing series. For example, Smash Ultimate itself was revealed with a CGI cutscene, which was both for the bait and switch of the Splatoon bit, and also because we already know what smash games are like, and it already has an existing fan base.

However, if you've got a brand new, stand alone game with no prior entires, you don't have a base of known gameplay and fans to build upon, you have to start from scratch/ start making some new fans for this new thing, which is when you REALLY need gameplay shown in your reveal.

I smell a cease and desist coming on!

My fav is an easy Majora's Mask. I've got next to zero issues with it, though I know others have many, but if I had to choose one, it's probably the stone tower climb. I don't even think it's that bad, but it DOES bring things to a bit of a halt... Also that it didn't have enough development time to implement everything perfectly; Feirce Deity in the overworld would've been AWESOME!!!

Independent is a word with an actual definition. There's no interpretation, either the studio is independent or it isn't; being owned by a big company is literally the opposite of independent

Please, PLEASE let this mean a greater emphasis on game preservation, Nintendo

@HatesCheese Nah, just a locksmith.

@HatesCheese It’s destined to occur, and it’ll be totally, completely original. I can see it now:

• The young forest boy wakes up, confused, before a small fairy makes itself known, “This way, Link! We’re going to see the princess!”
• Link sneaks into Hyrule castle, and runs into princess Zelda, who takes interest in how much Link is like her… dreams she had.
• Later, Link and Mido have to settle their differences in the belly of Lord Jabu Jabu, and make up after their long lasting (30 minutes) rivalry.
• After the movie ends, the credits roll, and we get a teaser of a sequel: A massive wind fish egg somehow stuck in the sewers of Brooklyn.

It’ll sell MILLIONS!

“Hyrule Kingdom, here we come.”

Wooo, let’s go 18!!! Fun fact, Nintendolife is now old enough to drink in Quebec! Onward for another 18!!!

@Woderwick Time for someone to get clips of Chris Pratt saying “Wowee Zowy!” And “Wondaful!” And mod them into the full release. Gotta get that Chris Pratt Voice Pack

I love JSR, so this was already on my radar, but learning that it was from the same peeps that made Lethal League was super reassuring. I’d say that delivered on the goal 200%, and every change felt like an amazing one. The style is perfectly captured, and all that original Jet Set stuff his still here, as well as a whole lot more that makes it stand out to me. The different… Vehicles (?) are cool, and the fact that you can actually just walk around is a super welcome touch. The on foot parkour is SO smooth and feels like the perfect addition, and having a boost that’s easy to understand and use is mega rad. I don’t know if it was in JSR, but doing manuals to keep combos going reminded me of Ollie Ollie word, and also fits in nicely. And of course, doing all the tricks and stuff to actually get something that’s not just points out of it (boost meter) made doing sick, long combos all the more exciting. The music’s great, the style is insane, the story is sick so far, and the movement is immaculate. The only thing holding it back at the moment is some annoying glitches, like some pausing and unpausing thing that kept making my screen go white, but even then, unlike with those old JSR games, can and will be patched over time.

All in all, I’d say it’s definitely worth it for those who’ve played the originals and those who didn’t. Hell, I’d even say that it’s surpassed the original in many regards, and is easily on my GOTY list already.

@Bigbear1up @Snatcher This is what I’m talking about, it’ll be rad! Can’t wait, and I hope y’all enjoy it!

@Bigbear1up Nah man I’m sticking through till the end. I just GOTTA see that Mihawk fight in glorious live action. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about it’s quality, I’d so much rather we have this whole live action thing than none at all, I just don’t expect it to be a AAA level masterpiece, and it doesn’t have to be. I’m satisfied just seeing what their take on everything is, so more power to ‘em!

@Coolmusic Heck yeah

@Coolmusic I expect it to be terrible, but there’s no way I’m NOT gonna watch it. It’ll be a lovely disaster to watch unfold, and if some parts are actually kinda good, I’m all for it. After all, it’s not replacing any normal OP stuff, so I just see it as a funny little side grade that won’t really impact much, and hence, I vibe with it.

Edit: Also can’t wait for more Pirate Warriors content! Wooooo for more of 4!!!

Wait, Yokai watch is already 10 years old?! I need to sit down for a wee while, me thinks…

I hate to be that guy, but I think there’s a clear lack of research here?! Reds do 1.5X damage, making them the best and most reliable type for combat, whilst Blues, for as much as I love them, have become less and less useful as time goes on, literally only being used for necessary progression, and never even considered for out of water combat. I saw a great video regarding the topic, called “Blue pikmin need a buff.” That goes over it quite well.

Aside from the obvious heavy hitters, Penny’s Big Breakaway was a jolly surprise. The feeling of momentum it looks to incorporate, as well as a classic era aesthetic seem super fresh! Plus, the Sonic Mania devs being behind it is a super good vote of confidence. Can’t wait!

@RetroGames Huh, that’s some cool info. I was just kinda making a reference to a certain prolific speed running related YouTube channel (Karl Jobst, if your interested), but those are indeed some rad calcs!

On the 29th of April, 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie achieved this run…

@Scapetti That’s fair, to Nintendo, untrustworthy members of the community are definitely more worth stopping than taking chances on whomever. I can’t blame them for THAT after what some people have done, cuz yeah, the smash stage creator is a very good example…

@HeadPirate True, there’s certainly a whole lot of people overreacting on both sides, even worse so when anyone says they’re doing it “on behalf” of one party or the other, without understanding the full situation.

@NCChris Heck yeah dude, but I don’t blame people for not understanding the full scope of what effects what in situations like this, nor how they may be similar or different from situations with much less controversy. It requires a deep dive in order to see the full extent behind things like this, and often thinking outside the apparent box. Many people don’t realize that the clear water on the surface of these situations rests atop a dark sea of circumstances

There’s an oddly large amount of people on here against modding, which I find to be quite strange, all things considered. Games like Terraria and Rivals of Aether THRIVE off of mods, and the creators support said modders. There’s nothing unethical about it, everyone who uses the mods has already purchased the games, and the only extra profit is people buying (not pirating) the game to play said mods. They don’t pay for the mods, they pay for the game; the ones profiting are the game devs, and in turn, the modders gain well deserved publicity, which can be turned into money if they decide to go and make their own games and such. It’s a win win win scenario, no one loses anything. (Bonus point, Smash Bros. Brawl has been kept alive for YEARS because of its modding community, and everyone loves it. No one calls it disrespectful, it’s fun. It’s playable on official hardware, which actually has driven more people to buy and play it, which can then build interest to make them want to buy the modern Smash games. It’s a perfect cycle of companies giving fans a cool thing, fans adding on to that cool thing, which causes more people to become fans and buy said cool thing)

Now, on the Nintendo side of things, there isn’t much difference, outside of how Nintendo feels about it; The mods are free, and piracy is clearly noted as being advised against. This multiplayer mod in particular may even encourage many people who haven’t played the original game (perhaps because they prefer multiplayer games to single player ones) to go out and buy it. These mods don’t support pirating, anyone who would pirate the game for this purpose would have done so for any other reason, and probably already has. As for Pointcrow getting revenue from the videos… Well no crap, of course he would. Every kind of video gets revenue, what’s so different about this? You can get revenue for playing anything, like BOTW unmodded, which so many people have done. Why would it make sense for everyone to make money off of something with so little effort that it’s actually just playing a game for money, rather than one that’s actually a product of their own efforts? Like what, should I be paid for you to watch me go the museum, or should I be paid for you to watch me create my own piece of art in front of said museum? What’s more deserving, hm?

@UltimateInkling Same! It’s understandable enough with free games, cuz how else will they make money? But when it’s a AAA, full priced release, and they announce micro transactions BEFORE THE GAME IS EVEN OUT then it’s just such a middle finger to everyone

So many people that didn’t watch the vid… Dudes donating the consoles to a non-profit organization to preserve it all! WATCH FIRST, THEN COMMENT, PEOPLE!!!

Man, I was kinda hoping for DNF Duel. Love that game to death, too bad it didn’t gain that much traction

Man, a price increase like this in Canada would look a whole lot more intimidating. Imagine coming in here from America or the UK and seeing games in stores going for $100!

I’m kinda late on the draw here, but I found that the weapon durability was a pretty good feature considering how the game is structured around it: You see some enemies, and you decide whether the risk of losing one of your weapons is worth the chance of gaining a better one. I liked that! However, once you’ve beaten the game and are just trying to mess around, maybe doing some self made challenges (Doing all the Lynel fights in a row without healing, for example, with bonus points if you’re using the complete Fierce Deity set + sword) then the durability can become a bit of a hassle. This is especially true for the special Amiibo weapons, which are so damn cool, but I never want to use them out of fear of how annoying it’ll be to get them back again. Henceforth, I’d love it there was some post game item that would make it so that your weapons never broke, or something like that. Now that I think of it, that could have been the PERFECT reward for getting all the Korok seeds!
