Looks like a fun character, but definitely not one I would have picked (or expected in the first pass). I'll have to get my hands on them before passing final judgement.
I hate Gold and Silver, so I don't agree with their placement up there. Personally if you were going to have a Pokemon game in the top 5, it should be Black and White. Alas, c'est la vie.
Technically there is a huge reason to play the original Link's Awakening over the DX version, and that was screen warping. That glitch was patched in the remake.
Love me some Ceave, so I'm glad to see him get a mention here.
I watched this last night and was generally impressed. I wouldn't do it, just because I'm not going to waste my life like that. But nevertheless it's impressive.
I honestly didn't realize they had replaced Bill and Lance with robots in Europe. I thought it was just a name change. But while I like the Robots better, it doesn't scream Contra to me.
A word of warning, I did the contact cleaner solution a few days ago, and while the sticks now work fine, I've been having trouble with some of the buttons. The ZL, -, and Home button don't want to respond when pressed every time. Not sure the exact reason, but I'm trying to clean them out again and see if it helps.
I thought the same thing. Link's Awakening was really good, did we really need an update? But then Link's Awakening DX came out. A photo system and a new dungeon? Well sign me up.
Not sure if it's because I just woke up, but I had to do a double take on the title. I thought it read "Proportions of Female Employees". That has a slightly different connotation to it.
I had a lot of fun with Labo. But like @ItsOKToBeOK posted, the appeal is putting it together. The software is bad, but only the vehicle set felt like a game.
I remember when the Wii shop opened. It's kinda sad this is closing. There were a ton of titles I never got around to playing on it. Also a lot of titlyI haven't seen around anywhere else. I figured most companies would have ported their titles, if it was possible.
A review score should only help to solidify your interest/disinterest. It's a good metric to understanding public perception of the game. While this shouldn't dictate people's purchases, they can influence them. Even a low score in a genre that a person likes, shouldn't necessarily turn off a fan of said genre.
I realized when they announced this for Limited Run Games that it was going to be more expensive than the eShop. I'll definitely still get this though, since I've waited this long
Wow that's dedication. I thought I had 100% most every Zelda game except Breath of the Wild (not getting those Korok seeds), but I completely forgot about getting all the ship and train parts or the Drabland challenges. All I can say is, congratulations!
He's not pinning, he's passed on. This parrot is no more. He has ceased to be. He's expired and gone to meet his maker. He's a stiff, bereft of life, he rests in peace. If you hadn't have nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies. He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!

Re: Video: Here's The First Episode Of Pokémon: Twilight Wings, The New Online Anime Series
@SwitchLife I honestly didn't see the big bad guy switch coming with him. I for sure thought it was going to be the secretary.
@ToonStuff I didn't understand his urgency there at the end. Like Leon was on board with the plan if he waited one more day.
Re: Video: Here's The First Episode Of Pokémon: Twilight Wings, The New Online Anime Series
Chairman Rose is so awesome. He's just a really great guy that can do no wrong.
Re: Sonic's Upcoming Movie Receives A PG Rating
Before the model change it would probably get an NC17 rating.
Re: Random: Star Wars Rogue One Writer Wants To Pen The Script For An Animated Star Fox Movie
As long as it's not a Star Fox 64 plot rehash, I'd be ok with it.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #23 - Snowboard Kids
Never played the first, but Snowboard Kids 2 was the bomb. I would love another sequel in this day and age.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate's Last Event Of The Year Celebrates Characters Who Wear Shorts
I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

Technically there is a huge reason to play the original Link's Awakening over the DX version, and that was screen warping. That glitch was patched in the remake.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #5 - Super Mario Kart
Went with NA. Koopa Troopa is in a better position at 4th than Japan's 7th.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #4 - River City Ransom / Street Gangs
I love the design of North American title, but I think the Japanese sells the game better. That North American GBA game is horrendous.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Will Feature Galarian Forms, New Rivals And Team Yell Revealed
Yes! Regional forms was the best thing to come out of Gen 7! I'm so excited!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #2 - Contra / Probotector
I honestly didn't realize they had replaced Bill and Lance with robots in Europe. I thought it was just a name change. But while I like the Robots better, it doesn't scream Contra to me.
Re: Random: Survey Finds Mario Kart Commonly Has A Positive Effect On Romantic Relationships
Shortly after playing Mario Kart Wii together, I started dating my now wife. So I would have to definitely agree.
Re: Famitsu Confirm Rumoured Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD For Switch
I might pick this up, since it's the only Monkey Ball on Nintendo hardware that I skipped. Hopefully they've improved it.
Re: Pokémon Masters Launches Summer 2019, Core Gameplay Explained
@Vectorman Yeah basically just like the Hulk, except he doesn't look anything like the Hulk.
Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Currently Lets You Upload Just 32 Courses
I didn't upload 32 courses in the entirety of Mario Maker 1, and people have already reach the limit on the first day? That's insane.
Re: Pokémon Masters Launches Summer 2019, Core Gameplay Explained
Did Brock just flex so hard his shirt ripped?
Re: EA CEO Defends Microtransactions, Says It’s "Actually Possible" To Do It Right
I would agree that there is a correct way to do microtransactions, but EA has not shown that they know what that is.

Wait so you can play co-op with one Switch? Is that confirmed?
Re: Random: Someone's Working To Fix SNES Shooter Gradius III's Slowdown Issues
Why break what's already fixed?
I love Gradius III, but without that slowdown, I probably couldn't beat it.
Re: Bubsy: Paws On Fire! Comes To Switch In May Whether You Want It To Or Not
They have Terri and Terry? What are you thinking Choice Provisions? Bubsy 2 wasn't nearly as good as the first.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Is Retiring After 15 Notable Years At Nintendo of America
I guess his body was ready, for retirement.
Honestly I'm kinda sad, but I wish him the best.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Japanese Sales Prove Plumber Port Profitability
People prioritizing ports? Puh-lease. Pardon the patronizing, but a portly plumber port only partly placates this person.
Re: Video: We Weren't Sure We Wanted A Zelda: Link's Awakening Remake, Until We Got It
I thought the same thing. Link's Awakening was really good, did we really need an update? But then Link's Awakening DX came out. A photo system and a new dungeon? Well sign me up.
Re: Takahashi, Miyamoto And Shiota Discuss Proportion Of Female Employees In Nintendo’s Development Departments
Not sure if it's because I just woke up, but I had to do a double take on the title. I thought it read "Proportions of Female Employees". That has a slightly different connotation to it.
Re: Pokémon Sales Slump To All-Time Low In Japan, Despite Strong Worldwide Performance Of Let's Go
Purely speculation, but it might also have something to do with the cost and having multiple save files.
Re: Review: Dragon: Marked for Death - An Attractive Action Title That's All Burned Out When It Comes To Fresh Ideas

Re: Nintendo President Says Company Is Working On "New Methods" For Nintendo Labo
I had a lot of fun with Labo. But like @ItsOKToBeOK posted, the appeal is putting it together. The software is bad, but only the vehicle set felt like a game.

Re: Nintendo Tells Fans To Tune Into The Game Awards Tomorrow, Reveals Incoming?
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but it's probably letting us know about a playable Cranky Kong.

Wow. What did Nintendo add with this port? Maybe I should pick it up again after all.
Re: Guide: The Best Pokémon Games - Every Mainline Pokémon Game Ranked
I absolutely hate Gold and Silver. I never understood why people liked it so much. To me that would be at the bottom right above Diamond and Pearl.
Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Need Review Scores?
