Re: English Box Art For Famicom Detective Club Remakes Spotted In Official Nintendo Graphic

It would be nice because the digital versions barely ever go on sale and if there was a physical option it certainly would; to say nothing of the second-hand market.

I think the two remakes have been on sale maybe once. I don't know why they would make the two remakes digital only and then Emio gets the physical treatment. It's not like Emio is any less niche than the two remakes.

Re: So, Will You Be Listening To The New Mobile App Nintendo Music?

ShonenJump121

Well, I don't have NSO and I haven't really seen a need to get it considering I don't play a lot of multiplayer games so I guess not for me.

If it didn't require NSO to use it I'd give it a try. Also, the starting selection is pretty bad. Nintendo has such a massive catalogue of music, I feel like they could've given us more than that to start with.

Re: Nintendo's Xenoblade Chronicles Dev Monolith Soft Is Now 25 Years Old

I never would've thought the Xenoblade franchise would expand the way that it did back during the Wii days I sadly thought Xenoblade Chronicles would go down as one of those forgotten Nintendo games during that era as that wasn't uncommon back then.

I could not have guesses that it would be even a fraction as large as it is now. There catalouge is impressive given that no one seemed to talk about them before Xenoblade Chronicles aside from Xenosaga.

Baten Kaitos has seen a sort of new life given the new ports, but that DB RPG they developed on the DS was quite good as well.

Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Frame Rate Is "Even Worse" Than Link's Awakening

ShonenJump121

I really don't think its fair to push aside other peoples issue with framerate, just because its not something that you personally care about. If it bothers other people then that's just as valid as not caring at all about it.

Its odd that this game would be so performance heavy given that it doesn't look nearly as impressive as BOTW/TOTK.

Given that Link's awakening had similar problems, maybe its Grezzo on the line here. It is disappointing given all they had to do was lock the framerate to 30.

Re: Soapbox: The Trauma Of Giygas & Growing Up In EarthBound

ShonenJump121

I played through Earthbound very recently, in fact I finished it about a week or two ago and moved on Mother 3 since I heard that was just as good.

Even without mentioning Giygas, there's plenty of eerie things about Earthbound. Cults, gangs and odd looking creatures. I remember when I was a kid watching a let's play of Earthbound in the early era of YouTube, 2008-2009 that the boss music for the Sanctuary bosses would give me full on nightmares.

As an adult it may not seem all that scary, but some of the enemy sprites are still a tad unnerving. On another note, I wish that Nintendo would give us more Mother merchandise outside of Japan. I really wanted those plushies, but paying over $100 with shipping and fees is really rough.
