Given the 1-5 games a season already played in London that all seem to sell well… and the NFL’s weekly schedule that already expects players to take six hour flights between games…. Just give London a team already.
@Kieroni Both StarTropics games are essentially movie parodies that have next to nothing to do with the movies they’re parodying except for settings. But they are great games.
Also, I love it, but the “interactive movie” genre of adventure game (like Under a Killing Moon) pretty much gets movies wrong.
But you’re talking about Mario being a pro wrestler and ignoring that before Charles Martinet, most people thought Mario sounded like professional wrestler, Captain Lou Albano (and with good reason, Captain Lou played Mario in the all the Dic cartoons and the live action segments of the super mario bros super show).
@nessisonett I’m just going to say it, and you know it to[o], how did two different usernames create such an identical post? You both even have the awkward colon after the parenthetical at the end.
@MS7000 It’d be a full war for Donkey Kong Country. Default is Kongs, plays like Tropical Freeze. Or you play as Kremlings. Or you play as Snowmads. Or you play as Tiki Taks. Or you play as Dredd Kongs. The secret unlock is play as Koopas.
@Ogbert agreed so hard. Just make a switch port, would be so nice and easy. My nintendo account is already linked. (Same for the other games on this chart)
Wait... aside from Zelda and Leia being cheap by princess standards... how is Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet in third? It bestows omnipotence. That seems like it’s being undervalued.
They didn’t have to sign the release with “and staple series don’t include f-zero, mother, star tropics, or kid icarus: so quit asking”. That was rude.
@Kevember I’m pretty sure TP is my favorite 3d zelda... but I just want to respond to a post trying to shame people for liking BOtW by saying that if a 3d zelda is your favorite game in the series, you never really liked zelda in the first place.
Wait... but... Ninji? Come on, this is the game that would make Ninji a character (it’s just also the game that would make Shyguy in a ninja outfit a character.)
I liked Spirit Tracks a lot. I personally preferred the boat customizations in PH over the train customizations in ST, but I think the story in ST was stronger. Byrne and Malladus were great non-ganon antagonists (probably the best this side of Vaati. Sorry Veran and Onox.). Use of Zelda, as this article points out: is easily among the best in the series. And during a time where using zelda seemed to often mean making her someone other than Zelda (Sheik and Tetra), this one really did go for making it about the namesake. Plenty of other familiar faces like Alfonso and Linebeck.
Really, there is no portable zelda that isn’t an underrated zelda.
Because we had Four Sword Adventures in college where I provided all the link cables and copies of the game (and even a second gba as I upgraded to the SP), we had a steady group of 4 (five technically, two guys alternated on the loaner gba) and played through the entire game over a little less than a month by getting together regularly and doing it.
Was probably the best zelda experience of my life. And having the full foursome so stages ended with votes that mattered on “who helped” and “who hindered” really did make it.
Everyone had one item they weren’t allowed to use after an “incident”. For one buddy it was the boomerang, because he kept boomeranging folks into pits. For another it was the hookshot... because he kept getting revenge. For me it was the bombs... because one time when I got them upgraded I just figured it was too much fun to put bit bombs everywhere. And for the final buddy it was the roc’s feather... he didn’t do anything wrong with it; but the rest of us lost something and that was his preferred item, and as established, the rest of us were kinda jerks.

As for the original, I had it. Tried it like once or twice with my brother and link cables. Didn’t beat it till the anniversary edition on dsi/3ds let you play solo. The link’s awakening level was neat.

Paper Mario is great.

Re: Sakurai Reminds Us There's Only One DLC Fighter Left For Smash Ultimate (Again)
Wait, Nintendo didn’t assure him a third fighter’s pass will see the safe return of his family?

Re: Poll: What's The Best Dragon Quest Game?
I’ve only played 7, 8, and a little of 11....
And there wasn’t one below a “9” rating for me... so I don’t know how much variance this poll will have.
Re: Fire Emblem: Genealogy Of The Holy War Is Joining Japan's NSO Super Famicom Library
Okay... so give me star tropics 2 already on NES.
Re: Talking Point: If Nintendo Released Them, Would You Play Virtual Boy Games In 2021?
I’d play teleroboxer again. Maybe galaxy pinball and red alarm. Maybe Nester’s Funky Bowling.
I probably would play mario clash again, definite if they added a two player mode. I would play mario tennis again if they added a two player mode.
And yes, like everyone else, I admit VB Wario Land and Jack Bros are worth it.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Confirms Bowser vs Donkey Kong Team Rally
@MS7000 It’d be a full war for Donkey Kong Country. Default is Kongs, plays like Tropical Freeze. Or you play as Kremlings. Or you play as Snowmads. Or you play as Tiki Taks. Or you play as Dredd Kongs. The secret unlock is play as Koopas.

Re: The Xenoblade Chronicles Developer Monolith Soft Now Has 272 Employees
Think the odds are very good for a xenoblade 3.
Nintendo should buy the rights to xenogears off square and xenosaga off bamco. A Xenoblade style remake of Xenogears would be just plain nifty.

Re: Feature: Zelda: Twilight Princess' Flipped World On Wii Made Me Go A Little Cucco
@Lone_Beagle no, that honor goes to CDi games.
And then... despite how much I actually do think it’s an underrated game, probably Triforce Heroes....
Or Ancient Stone Tablets because it’s very small and not really a full game.
