I would have wanted the original Tetris Attack or the very fun themed Planet Puzzle League from the DS era over this. Tetris Attack would have been good for those of us without an expansion, as I feel this version still has enough unique about it to justify playing it over Tetris Attack for Pokefans.
I really wonder why they haven't expanded the game with DLC besides the fourth character. Would have loved more support since the game is BRUTALLY hard, and the only reason I dialed back how much I played was because of Dicey Dungeons.
@MichaelP I hated the dialogue. It's like nobody had the ability to sound unique. The speech patterns, humor, and swearing show Warren Ellis can't write dialogue or distinct characters. Crassness doesn't mean someone is badass or witty.
How typical of Nintendo and how fantastic that they know that it is better to delay and guarantee quality instead of rushing it out to meet a deadline. April 2023 isn’t too bad. Maybe by then, Russia can watch it too.
I believe that Batman doesn’t have to be introduced with issue one, or Superman for that matter—what they are now is very different than the beginning. Start with key pieces in fiction or gaming.
The only exception to this rule is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
And here I am trying to get better in chess, shogi, xiangqi, and Weiqi because I find they’re good games for improving various strategic skills, but games like chess are nerdy.
Then let me be nerdy because I grew up being called a nerd for playing video games.
Isn’t this rated for Adults Only in Japan by CERO? I wonder how the extreme violence and gore with the cutesy designs will be explained when released in the west.
Given Nintendo’s track record of ignoring fan requests, I don’t think these rants will change their minds. See: Mother 3 and limited edition games like Super Mario 35 or SNES and NES mini…
How about RPGs for Wario, Luigi, Peach, and Waluigi? Their own chapters or even their own games? Kingdom Battle shows they all can do well in a tactical rpg.
It was a contrast given that I grew up with Sega basically trashing Nintendo heavily in their commercials and magazine advertisements. All that talk of blast processing and a hedgehog being cooler than a plumber, and suddenly, he’s on GameCube… followed by the Bandicoot too.
Too bad Crash never made it to Smash for a true closure to the battle of the mascots.
On the one hand, I want to give this game a 12/10 because of all the memories I have playing it MANY times, on the other hand, I want to subtract points from the score because of one fatal flaw this game has: it ends. 😢
@Bunkerneath those that follow business ethics and how Nintendo has a Corporate Social Responsibility department (like many businesses do). Business doesn’t necessarily mean greedy and selfish evil people, dude.
I wonder who the guest characters will be. If it’s more horror icons, they may as well make an officially licensed version of Terrordrome themselves and add some more characters to the roster.
It’s a reunion between two exes who had to separate even if they had a good thing together, but never stopped loving each other. Nintendo and Rare: awwww.
The water sequence really annoyed me for the boss fight and escape, and some platforming areas were unfair without using a YouTube walkthrough. I think the game earned its 10 though because it’s a quintessential British humor game that I enjoyed and story that pulled the heartstrings.
I feel Microsoft sees Nintendo as their preferred competitors, because they're not selling to the same demographic. Sony has really been their rival for a while, though some would argue that they're still slightly different demographics due to the Japanese games on PlayStation--however, Sony has been annoying Japanese fans for a while. Changing the button mapping for X and O to match American and European preferences instead of Japanese was really a bad idea, and they aren't fond of the censorship it seems.
@fafonio Money, dear friend. They don't want to do it themselves or pay someone to do it, and they have fans who have paid enough for the turds left for them to justify the same behavior again and again.
I have absolutely no sympathy for him or his brothers with their pranks, stunts, and influencer entitlement. Especially the suicide forest controversy.
Convincing editor Sammy Barker of Push Square is more of an impressive feat to me given he’s posted multiple incendiary headlines and shill pieces dumping on Nintendo. He is the main reason I don’t like going to Push Square and get my PS5 news elsewhere, and I would most definitely never want to be in the same room as him.
I also can’t even be bothered to get the NSO EP because it’s too expensive. And I also know some jerk who says games are meant to be expensive and if you can’t afford them you’re cheap or you’re poor and don’t deserve to play video games, yet the pricing makes it seem like he’s right even if the value for the cost is not worth it.
I remember we collected these as kids and eventually realized they’re the same game with different skins… like Berenstain Bears Extreme Sports on Game Boy.
The game I stop playing for a while and return to again and again continues to give me reasons to never delete this from my memory card to save space...Looking forward to this.
Ha! This is a solid moment of awesomeness that I will use against pompous jerks who said in comments from before that “poor people shouldn’t play video games and that nobody should give them consoles or games as a gift when they should be working instead of gaming”.
I have been wanting a ZX sequel for years after that 100% ending for ZX Advent. Capcom, don’t be like Konami and give it to us alongside Legends 3, which Nintendo Power featured in their final issues.
“PopSlinger”: either a Canadian or Midwestern developer made this. If it were the South, it’d be CokeSlinger, but then I don’t think it would convey the right message…and if it were the west coast, it’d be SodaSlinger, but then the initials “SS” wouldn’t sit well with some people…

Re: Terry Cavanagh's Dicey Dungeons Rolls Out Huge New Free DLC 'Reunion' Soon
Oh my god, YES!!! I was wondering if they’d make any and here it is! Hard as hell, but still enjoyable. Yes!
EDIT: Did anyone click on the video that was literally just a six-second coming soon video placeholder that said it was?!
Re: Undertale Creator Toby Fox Explains How EarthBound's Fans Kept The Game Alive
@CANOEberry Weren’t there also Project Rainfall who got several JRPGs localized that would have otherwise been ignored were it not for their campaign?
Re: Oops, An Italian Voice Actor May Have Spoiled Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2
A lot of lines recorded will be dummied out or re-recorded as the story can change still. 2023 after all.
Re: Soapbox: Please, Please, Please Release Sonic Advance Trilogy On Nintendo Switch Online
Yes...we need this. As fast as Sonic spin-offs and sequels are made, we desperately need this.

Re: Konami Looks To Change Its Name, Because Why Not
Just call them “Kon” because it suits them now with NFTs and how they treat employees as slaves.

Re: Square Enix Officially Announces Kingdom Hearts IV
Hell no, if it’s cloud streaming, I don’t want it on a Nintendo platform.
But if it’s on the cartridge itself or a reasonable file download, yes!
Re: Defend The Rook Is A Roguelike Tower Defense That Takes Its Moves From Chess

Who would have thought?
Looks interesting, I’ll check this game out.

Re: Uh-Oh, Chocobo GP's Season Pass Is Ruffling A Few Feathers With Fans
I’ll stick to Mario Kart then and get the DLC.
This, cloud Kingdom Hearts, and so on make me wonder if Square does this knowing people will hate this.

THE WORLD!
Re: Ambition Record Is The Latest KEMCO RPG Making The Jump To Switch
Why can’t Kemco release its titles from the 80s and 90s when they had half decent ones like Lagoon instead of mobile drivel?
Re: Video: What's Going On With Nintendo's Mii, And Why Are They Dying Out?
Nintendo will keep them around… but whether they’re accessible to us or not is the problem.

Re: Nintendo "Has Interest" In NFTs And The 'Metaverse'
@Pillowpants South Park ripped on it and it still feels understated even if accurate. NFT: never f***ing try.
