Zelda's stories always strike me as more of an excuse for characters. Like i could care less about Ganon's plans but Tetra, Midna or the minish cap i love them. Even small characters like the Dekuprincess in Majora. I even like Navi.
@Tempestryke Thanks. i thought it could've been a case similar to the first Harry Potter books. When they changed Philopher's Stone to Sorceror's Stone because the latter sounds more interesting to U.S audiences.
If the japanese or american boxart didn't have the blue banner it would've been so much better. I still chose the Japanese. The composition looks slighty better
Also why the name change between europe and america. Is Pandora's Box not well known over there?
Edit: the japanese one call it the Devil's Box (according to google translate). Also the little dark blue text under title says "friendly version" which i just think is funny.
I've been playing ace attorney. Beat the first trilogy last year. So now the second! I also beat A hat in time this week, really fun game. With some acnh.
I've getting back into acnh after years of not playing. I quit because i was getting frustrated by the lack of new art from red. But this week i was (finally) able to get an authentic Scary Painting!
I finally started playing "A hat in time" on switch2. The game mostly runs fine. Only at one part in the Metro where there are 2 trains going towards me they suddenly popped in and hit me.
Also i will probably play a bit of acnh and Miku Logic Puzzle
At first i wanted to type "i hope europe gets figures like this" but then i realized... i don't like macdonalds food enough to gamble on getting the frog luigi in my happy meal
I want more Senran Kagura. We need more ecchi games that aren't AI. But the creator left Marvelous because of sexual content restrictions, so a spiritual succesor maybe more likely
@ShadLink Many games do. You could recreate Links outfit in lots of games. So i don't think that is a rip off. Other parts like Pikachu2 are a less defendable
At least looking at the trailer there seem to be multiple outfits. So the botw comparison isn't entirely accurate. And the Akira Slide has been in so much stuff that it's like the Wilhelm scream of animation.
The name, the pikachu and ceruledge are less defendable
Densha Attack and The midnightwalk left the best impressions after a day of thinking. I might check out the blue prince since i have heard it's really good
I always try to use new pokemons. The gen V model works best for someone like me. Plus they can have older mons using regionals or convergent forms instead
@rjejr i do agree with you. Switch 2 edition like for mario wonder just don't excite me. And the switch 2 exclusive line up needs some more big stuff. Because right now i'm looking forward to Fire Emblem and not much else. For first party games atleast
I like that the comments are just arguing over if they're dogs or cats. Raikou is definitly in the cat (tiger) camp. I always thought Suicune was like a deer. Entei.... i don't know but i wouldn't say dog or cat, then again he looks like a Shisa which is a lion mixed with a dog.
Gen 6 put some nice background details so it gets the win from me. But i will predict gen 1 will be voted the most because nostalgia for that game is the highest
25 min? Most pokemon presents are like 15 min and they still feel padded with Unite and Masters EX updates. I just hope it's longer because of gen 10 or something
He is kinda right (besides the obvious hyperbole). I feel like leaks can ruin otherwise insane reveals. Seeing a well put together trailer is way more hype inducing than just a screenshot that leaked.
Also as an aside but i found a shiny finizen when i first played the game. I was so dissapointed that I needed online and friends to evolve it. If I could evolve on my own it could've been my favorite.
I chose slowbro. I only really like 3 gen 1 evolution lines. Slowbro, Venusaur and Vileplume. (Eevee too kind of. The eeveelution i like are from later gens) All the other's are just kinda whatever for me.
I liked Tales of Arise, Granblue and Kyoto Xanadu. Honestly my hopes were Metaphor or Clair obscura. I think it was an alright direct but nothing made me mega excited.
Is it weird to say part of the reason i don't want to buy Prime 4 is because i haven't played 1 through 3. Playing numbered games out of order just bugs me for some reason
@Friendly The japanese version of cyberpunk is censored. So it does seem that either Adhoc messed up by not making 2 versions. Or that nintendo gave cyberpunk a pass because it's a bigger game.
Personally i think Adhoc messing up is more likely.
@Friendly Cyberpunk has dong customizations in the character creator. Witcher doesn't show it (from what i know). That's why Cyberpunk is used as an example because the JP version has censored content but the western release doesn't. People wanted Dispatch to do the same.

Re: 'Sega Universe' Initiative Announced, Celebrating Multiple Classics With Anniversary Projects
They annouced something similar a couple years ago but most of them didn't become games (yet hopefully). Like only Shinobi has come out i think.

Re: Poll: Do You Think Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Will Sail Onto Switch 2?
Did shadows sell well on switch? If not then maybe it's just not worth it for Ubisoft.
Re: Toei Company Establishes New Gaming Publishing Brand
They have the succesfull IP's and budget so hopefully this will be the start of some good Anime games.

Will this just be a war movie with the "Call of Duty" name?
Re: "Are You High?" – Xbox Co-Creator Believes Whatever Nintendo Makes Next Is Far More Interesting Than Project Helix
@Stocksy i feel like we won't get anything to experimental for a console. But maybe more experimental products/games like Labo
Re: "Are You High?" – Xbox Co-Creator Believes Whatever Nintendo Makes Next Is Far More Interesting Than Project Helix
"Even Wii U was interesting and cool. I mean, it was a mess, but it was interesting and cool" this is honestly the best description of the Wii U.
Re: Feature: A Look Back At Every Game Nintendo Life Scored 10/10 Over 20 Years
I think it's funny that Xenoblade 3 and X are on the list but not 1 or 2.
Also in all seriousness the only game that suprised me by not being on the list is Fire Emblem Awakening.

If they don't want to update the switch version then why make it?
Re: Feature: "Stop Tagging Us About Bubsy!" - Fabraz On Being Bullied Into Reviving A Maligned Mascot
I do want to congratulate them for trying to make a good Bubsy game. But still it's Bubsy giving his track record, Fabraz are in for an uphill battle
Re: Ratatan Dev Cancels The Switch Version
Makes sense to me. A rhythm game really has to have smooth frame rates. Although i don't think this game looks that demanding

So is it just a steam machine 2 with xbox game pass?

Re: Talking Point: After 30 Years, Is It Time To Reset The Pokédex?
I always try to use new pokemons. The gen V model works best for someone like me. Plus they can have older mons using regionals or convergent forms instead
Re: Pokémon Pokopia For Switch 2 Receives A Day One Update
@rjejr i do agree with you. Switch 2 edition like for mario wonder just don't excite me. And the switch 2 exclusive line up needs some more big stuff. Because right now i'm looking forward to Fire Emblem and not much else. For first party games atleast
Re: Denshattack! Is Heading To Switch 2 This June, Demo Available Today
This is the game i'm most interested in from this indie world. Seems like a lotta fun
Re: PSA: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Switch Version Apparently Fixes Legendary Beast Glitch
I like that the comments are just arguing over if they're dogs or cats. Raikou is definitly in the cat (tiger) camp. I always thought Suicune was like a deer. Entei.... i don't know but i wouldn't say dog or cat, then again he looks like a Shisa which is a lion mixed with a dog.
I wil just stick with beasts...
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Pokémon 30th Anniversary Edition

Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Pokémon Winds & Waves On Switch 2
It's still crazy that it looks so good after the switch gens. I thought maybe game freak just couldn't do it but they proved me wrong
Re: Pokémon Presents February 2026: Time, Date, How To Watch
25 min? Most pokemon presents are like 15 min and they still feel padded with Unite and Masters EX updates. I just hope it's longer because of gen 10 or something

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 9 Pokémon?
Terapagos. The anime may have influenced me....
Also as an aside but i found a shiny finizen when i first played the game. I was so dissapointed that I needed online and friends to evolve it. If I could evolve on my own it could've been my favorite.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen On Switch
I will wishlist this and see if it ever goes on sale and then i will consider buying it.
Re: Talking Point: Our Pokémon Presents 2026 Predictions - What Are You Hoping For?
The only interesting things are gen 10 and aardman. Unless they do something genuinly unexpected like bringing back pokemon ranger or something
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 7 Pokémon?
Xurkitree. I love all the UBs but only one of them can be found behind my tv
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 5 Pokémon?
Gen 5 has the strongest dex imo. I remember the pokemon magazine hyping up new pokemon and being so excited.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 4 Pokémon?
My first gen. As a kid i had such a massive crush on Dawn i would always chose Piplup.
Re: Stellar Blade Dev Might Be Eyeing A Switch 2 Release In The Future
One of 3 games that made me consider getting ps5. So i hope it will come to switch without issue
(The other ps5 games were astrobot and demon souls remake fyi)
Re: Gallery: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Official Character Posters Have Been Revealed
100% to rosalina wonder why? (Think i'm just first )
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 3 Pokémon?
As a kid i thought Gardevoir was like a cool white witch and as an adult... i don't think i can say anything without causing some assumptions.
Also shiny mega shiny Gardevoir is one of the best looking
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokémon?
I chose slowbro. I only really like 3 gen 1 evolution lines. Slowbro, Venusaur and Vileplume. (Eevee too kind of. The eeveelution i like are from later gens)

Re: Poll: So, Should Pokémon Red And Blue Return For The 30th Anniversary?
I would love something a bit more obscure like Pokemon Conquest or park. Or maybe even a compilation of the Rangers games
Re: The Hundred Line Creator Wants To Keep The Game Going For "Around Ten Years"
If it becomes big enough will the name change again? Like to 300 line or 100 line 1+2+3?

I love Xurkitree. I have nothing else to add i just love Xurkitree
Re: Metroid Prime 4 & Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Sales Get Off To A Slow Start
Is it weird to say part of the reason i don't want to buy Prime 4 is because i haven't played 1 through 3. Playing numbered games out of order just bugs me for some reason
(except JRPGs like dragon quest or persona)
Re: Dispatch Uncensored Physical Switch Release Apparently Not Possible
@Friendly The japanese version of cyberpunk is censored. So it does seem that either Adhoc messed up by not making 2 versions. Or that nintendo gave cyberpunk a pass because it's a bigger game.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream For Switch?
I'lll probably wait for a sale. The main reason i want it is to make random Miis say profanities anyway.
