@twztid13 I don't want to dig out my WiiU and play with inferior controls just for older maps. They can bring back some maps with changes made to layout and look here and there and I'll still love to play on them again. It would be a new stage for many more people considering the number of WiiU & Splatoon 1 sold being abysmal in comparison to Switch.
Truth be told, I could list all of Splatoon 1 stages 'cause I love all that didn't make it in Splatoon 2, and I know it was really unbalanced, but I'd like to see Saltspray Rig return. It was one of the two stages included in the Testfire demo so it should had been a mainstay. I hope they find a way to include all stages from 1 & 2 even if the total new stage list takes a hit. It's always cool to see what changes they make to a past stage.
@Snatcher The final build was made November 25th, 2020. Next, we had a day 1 patch for minor bug fixes. They had time to implement Toadette unless they held back to add her later to bring attention to the game.
People don't want to wait on games. We want them now, now, NOW instead of patently waiting. This is why we deserve undercooked games like Pokemon Sword and Shield. I expect BotW2 no sooner than 2022 Q4. Good. More time for it to get developed.
Isn't this among the most unbalanced games due to Capcom characters having the edge because they have less frames for their attacks than the SNK characters?
@AlexanderDaniels Now that you mention it.. Yeah, we have the remixes, but not the original theme of SMB3. Kinda bizarre it's the only Ground Theme omitted. Hard to justify the name 'Ultimate' with such a easy oversight since launch. I really like the classic theme too, that sucks. It was in Smash 4.
@Grahamthecracker Those Pokemon relate to Johto however, barring the 8th gen starters. Lapras was what would depect the player while surfing (also showed up once a week in a well hidden cave making it more significant) the Slowpoke is what Team Rocket was causing a disturbance with first encountered by the player to cut their tails for money, Mewtwo can be found in the Cerulean Cave in HGSS, and the Sandshrew statues look very similar to the statues in the Unknown Cave, don't they?
If I could play all the Shantae games on one console then I may get into the series. Waiting to play the first before trying the sequels. I'll take a remake too.
@Orpheus79V Sorry, I meant Color Splash. It probably is just me but the white outline really bothers me; so unnecessary! I prefer the older games look.
@Northwind Star Fox 2 got withheld because of the N64 was approaching as new console. Not the same here, these leaks saying this Trilogy has been completed for 2 years and the Switch is still the current Nintendo console with nothing new overtaking it for the foreseeable year.
@Turbo857 I don't believe it was casual mode that caused the spike in sales necessarily. Casual mode debuted in FE12 New Mystery of the Emblem. It was definitely the social sim elements, waifu designs, and marriage/child making.
The game has been available for prepurchase on the Eshop since the listing appeared. Basically the whole game is finished and waiting for Capcom to release the 'download key'. Could it be that they thought Feb was a better month to release it; not that the game wasn't ready to release it sooner because again, the game is finished as it's available to prepurchase/download?
My only critique on the boxart is my favorite Pokemon, Meowth, is a speck and they removed his personality they showed on the GBA boxart of him cowering in fear. Now he's just 'there'.
That change to many 'mons would've been too much work for Gamefreak to continue now. Having to make a new model for a marginal difference like smaller horns and such.
Why do people spend so much money on Pokemon Go? If you've spent over a retail priced game then you've gone overboard and you don't own the game; it'll close eventually then you won't have anything to show for it.
Pretty sure Farfatche'd were said to be going extinct because an Pokedex entry or NPC had said they were hunted for food and yet they run frequent in Pokemon Shield?
Please let it be a FE Genealogy of the Holy War remake. It's next in line to receive the remake treatment and give westerners the chance to play it officially. I'd be down for a Binding Blade remake too.
@BoyfriendOfDeath Donkey Kong Country 3 and the Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3 on GBA (haven't played the first on GBA so I'm not sure) the monkeys speak and exchange dialogue with the Kremlin's.
@AlexanderDaniels Lol yeah and ironic he's complaining about criticisms before any on this news article..
The map looks like a leg: The upper part is the pants, the middle is the leg not covered, and the bottom is a shoe. Can't get the image outside my head now.
I wonder if the axed future 3DS plans included a M&L Partners in Time remake? Bummer.. Sad to see them go bankrupt, I enjoyed the M & L games, but they started to get pretty shallow on the 3DS.
What does this mean for Ms. Pacman's cameo in Smash Bros? Could there be a patch to take her out of the Pacland stage in the future or will AtGames be compensated some?
@Anti-Matter Why do people downvote your comments often? Do they have some sort of vendetta against you? Your comments don't offend and you're quite hilarious at times IMO. Keep being you!
That aside, I could never get into Fairy Tale. It has too much fanservice that makes it a cringe fist for me. But this news is good for its fans!
@Mr_Persona Me playing the Switch docked all the time! Very much this. I ordered this right away so I can lay down on the bed and play comfortably without disturbing others lol.
Wow, here I thought The Doraemon Story of Seasons wouldn't receive a release outside of Japan considering Doraemon media isn't featured much elsewhere. Exciting news for fans!

Re: Nintendo Might Have Revealed A New Mario Golf: Super Rush Character Ahead Of Schedule
King Bob-omb first later appearance was in Mario Kart DS as a Mission Mode boss. Never forget. The more appearances, the better especially playable.

I liked the theory of Daisy being playable way better than Toadette.

That's the style of Sticker Star, not The Thousand Year Door. The giveaway is Sonic's white outline.

@Cosats An easy fix would be when you reply to a comment it would display the comment number alongside the username.
Re: Random: Neighbour Sends Apology Pokémon Cake After Calling Police On Pokémon GO Players
Driving around slowly isn't merit enough to be called on cops for is it.? There's far more trouble in the world than to waste police energy on that.
Re: Poll: Vote For Your Favourite Fire Emblem Games
