@Otoemetry In a update not long ago, they made it to where you'll be matched irregardless of blocking them or not if encountering them in X rank and they're ranked at least within top 2000 in that mode.
Made it so that for X Rank battles, you may battle with someone even if they’re blocked via console settings if that player’s estimated rank is within the top 2,000.
This implies to the highest rank available, and in ranked modes only so newer or casual to moderate players won't have this issue playing with blocked players. The update was mostly combatting players who blocked the great players so they don't encounter them in ranked.
So it's Nintendo to blame for allowing the title to be announced in the early stages and hold off from any trailer footage for 4 years. Sounds like another particular game of theirs. That makes sense.
@ClassSonicSatAm Wait for the day 1 patch? When buggy games are too reliant on such a thing to remedy its issues. The world we live in! I felt bad for those who bought the version which allows them to play 1 week early. Essentially playing without patch and being Sega's quality testers.
@mantarobuster300 Sonic Colors Ultimate was advertised as a remaster by Sega themselves, so no. Those extras don't make a game a remake. Not only did Skyward Sword HD add those you mentioned, they squashed some bugs prevalent in Wii version and tons of quality of life features while Sonic Colors Ultimate added bugs not present in original.
I later discovered Blind Squirrel is the developers behind this remaster, the same Blind Squirrel who did the embarrasingly bad WWE 2K18 port. Yeah, I'm staying clear from this and seeking out the Wii version.
@Darkyoshi98 Some games don't necessarily need 60fps, but fast-paced games I most definitely notice a difference. That, and I didn't say I'll pass on this game, but the Switch version. I'll wait for a sale too since it doesn't take Sega long at all to cave in and discount their games.
Knowing that Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, another Wii original title, achieved 60fps in its remaster, and every other console remastered versions of Sonic Colors did as well, the Switch version is a hard pass. If only Sega delayed the Switch release to make it work..
What is the actual consequence of not fulfilling your end of the deal as a committed buyer on Ebay? Anyone that bids that high on something Among Us related such as this has to be a prankster kid with no where near that amount of money.
@Paulo Ballon Fight stage is very similar looking to the Ghouls 'n Goblins 1st stage. Mii Customer and that stage is the closest you can replicate the idea. It is rather unfortunate that the music track in the trailer isn't getting added though.
@thesilverbrick You got it all wrong. I'm saying there are character choices with other weaponry that could had got in over more Sword users. There is a certain lack of Hammer users for instance thay could add in the variety it lacks.
@thesilverbrick The argument is more so swords are used more as opposed to ‘these specific other weapons.’ Plenty of weapon-wielding characters use something other than a sword, including lances, axes and other weaponry primarily.
@NintendoGamer202444 It's bonkers why they can't add more music from 1st party franchises. FE Three Houses got a very small amount and the variety was shorter with the english and japanese vocal tracks.
@Judal27 I agree. Wish the music they remixed also had the original tracks (some do) namely I hoped for the original Crocodile Cacophony to get in with KKR's reveal but only got a remix of it.
So Nintendo paid over 5 million to Capcom in exchange for a temporary exclusive deal, for them to announce it releasing on another system when it's a month away from releasing on Switch. Is that a good payoff for Nintendo?
Why do people want the Zelda Themed Joycons or any when Nintendo have yet to fix the drift? You'll need a replacement or temporary fix after a year of use. They're not cheap either.
@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.

Re: Mario Party Superstars Includes 100 Minigames - Here's The Full List

Outside of Bobbing Bow-Loons and Hammer Slammer, I wonder what other item minigames are in.
