@JasmineDragon The show has excellent characters and plot. The guys who are working on it wrote Troll hunters episodes and Ninjago, which both had really good plot continuity. I'd dare say it's the best Trek show currently running
@Twili_Waker At first thought, I would agree with you. However, there was an e3 presentation or somesuch where Charles Martinet did several minutes of dialogue as Mario. The public response was pretty widespread as to how cringy and annoying it was to hear Mario for minutes at a time.
Beyond casting big names, the response may have been a driving force for them to consider someone else to play Mario. Personally I would like somebody halfway between Martinet and Lou Albano's performance.
Just for a lark I downloaded this game called Smash Club which just came out for $1. Turned out to be a very enjoyable beat 'em up. Definitely not a masterpiece, but certainly enjoyable with some friends. I get a real laugh out of all the blatant knock off characters (which resembles Obi Wan Kenobi, Transformers, etc.)
@Yosher
I have two PowerA controllers and they are excellent. The only thing that they lack is a rumble feature. According to the above poster they also don't read amiibo. Good for a second controller anyways. Sometimes they also go on sale for $35. A very good deal. I highly recommend them.
I know that Wally is his original name, there is nothing particularly distinct about it. There are tons of fictional Wallys (Wally Gator, Wally West, Wally Cleaver, etc.) but very few people have the name Waldo. When you heard it, you instantly think of the character from the books.
Does anyone remember that Charles voiced several minutes of Mario speaking for some Nintendo e3 thing years ago? I remember every post was complaining about how hard it was to listen to it. Seriously. Not one positive response.
I remember when Mario 64 came out all my friends at school thought it sounded like Mario got hit in the nuts. Maybe we were used to the voice in the cartoons at the time. Anyways, I'd bet they're going to use someone else for the movie.
Can anyone confirm to me the maximum number of players via split screen for the Switch version? Some consoles were reportedly getting 2 max. Some sites are saying the switch version allows up to 4. Thanks.
I mean, this is from the same team that brought us Mega Man: Fully Charged. My expectations are extremely low on this one. Hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
I'm a little disappointed in this. I love 3D World, but my favorite part is the multiplayer. Now you can just turn to your friends/family and say "Hey, we beat 3D World! But this part here is only 1 player." Lame. This should have been a separate release or the new content should have modeled the style of 3D World.
I think one of the main problems with the game is that Disney focus tested it to death. Leading up to the game's release, you could tell that Warren Spector had a lot of enthusiasm for player choice having a huge impact on the game. I also remember an article where they quoted a focus group member who said something along the lines of "That's not my Mickey Mouse" in regards to "Evil Mickey".
Unfortunately, there's a lot of people who only see Mickey Mouse as he's been portrayed since the early 60's as the squeaky clean corporate icon and forget the cheeky playfulness of the character from the earlier shorts. Then when something funny and dynamic like "Runaway Brain" or the recent Mickey Mouse shorts come out they all cry bloody murder.
I would like to see Warren Spencer have a (less restrictive) crack at the concept again or maybe a Ducktales game. He wrote a few comics.
I was sooo excited to play this, but I'm waiting for a patch that fix the frame rate issues. Co-op is a huge deal to me and if it dips into the the teens frame-rate wise, that sounds fairly unplayable. When the problem gets fixed it's an insta-buy.
@shonenjump86 Was just scoping this out on YouTube. LOL! They all make the same cheesy grunt and burst into chunks of flaming charcoal. Not quite legendary like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs bad-guy deaths, but highly highly entertaining!
This game is awesome! I had so much fun playing this on my phone. Just about the only good game on mobile. Can't wait to play with my kids in co op. Seriously, just go get it!!!
Sweet merch! By the way, fan translations for all the SNES Goemon titles (and I believe some of the NES games) made their way to the internet recently. They're amazing games. They're working on the PS1 game also. By the way, "piracy is bad kids, so make sure you own the original cartridge, blah blah blah".
I saw this coming due to the American release of the anime, but also because they've actually bothered to adapt character names (Leus is now Ratha, Ayuria is now Avinia, etc). Man, I'm stoked for this game!

Re: Step Aside, Nintendogs: It's Time To Punch Cats In Fisti-Fluffs
I was pretty interested until I saw that $20 price tag. They charge $3.99 for this on Google Play. $10 seems like a more reasonable initial price.

I just want to play co-op Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity at a decent framerate? Is that too much to ask?!?

Re: Mini Review: Densha de Go! Hashiro Yamanote Line - Yes, You Just Drive A Train
This kind of reminds of the brilliant classic, Power Shovel (also Taito, I think). I wish they'd make a new one of those.

@NorseGamerTommy As I recall, young Oak's Poke Balls looked more like a combination lock.

Re: Stardew Valley's 1.5 Update For Consoles Could Be Arriving Very Soon
My big question is how many players can play on split screen? This is huge deciding factor for me as to which console I'm buying it for.
