This man was such a personality, such a soul brimming with energy. Etika was truly unlike any Youtuber out there. And here we read this sad news.
I really hope we can all learn a lesson about what social media can do to an individual. I don’t use much of it myself, mainly because of my fears of its negative aspects affecting me negatively. Such mental breakdowns and suicide is a serious issue, and us as a society need to exercise knowledge and be proactive about what causes it and how we prevent it. It takes a group to make such a difference, and the need for action is strong and immediate.
My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to Etika’s family, friends, and fans. He will truly be missed. Rest in peace, my friend- today we mourn a true legend.
I picked the game up only last year, and in the relatively short time I’ve played it, I’ve been enjoying it’s unique concept and sense of style. A shame it never reached the highs Splatoon did, but I applaud the team for squeezing all the life they could out of it.
Besides, one game is enough for a character from said franchise from being in Smash, no matter that fate of the franchise, right Ice Climbers?
I am not a Zelda fan, nor will I ever be (I’m ready for dislikes.) But you know what I love about the series regardless? Its music. I’m tempted to try this out, although the price might be a tad steep right now. Definetly on my wishlist.
I never played the original, but I have been super hyped to experience this game, being the die-hard Spongebob fan I am. Yes, I never played the original. But don't worry, I will be amending that mistake on this games launch date.
@MoonKnight7 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. As much as I am anticipating this (I pre-ordered it already) I didn't want the E3 Direct to be swamped with Mario Maker stuff.
@teamdave2002 The reason I said that is because the 3DS is a dead horse. There is little to no point of releasing new games on it at a steady pace anymore.
I bought it. I decided to give it a fair chance. And boy, oh boy. I regret it badly.
It did not even keep me busy for an hour before it bored me to death. I understand there's a strict target audience for it, but man, why do the trailers make it look so fun?
Please don't buy it, at least not at this asinine price. Take it from me, doing my job for the better good of Nintendo fans.
At first, I was pretty underwhelmed by the Direct, as the one big thing for me was Mario Maker 2.
But then I stopped to think- games like that, Link's Awakening, and the numerous potential third-party gems revealed are additional games to an already loaded Switch lineup for 2019. This year is easily shaping up to be the best year for it, by far.
And there was no 3DS games. I can't begin to tell you how refreshing that was.
I actually thought the Direct would not be this month. I was thinking an early March Direct would be happening, like on the first of March. Not like I'm complaining, of course.
Give me Prime Trilogy and Joker gameplay, and I'm satisfied. But of course, I'm always pumped up for surprises.
When I was very young, I had this game on my Nintendo DSi XL. I got to the Durmite boss, and I simply could not get any farther. I sold the game, but I am super hyped to beat it for good within this remake. And yes, for context, that does mean I beat the carrot minigame, which was nightmarish in the original.
On a side note, this might be the final game I get for the 3DS, unless I get Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. I just won't get games I've played before, consistently, unless they are Switch releases. But if you don't have this game, please, give it the attention it deserves.
And who knows? Maybe we'll see a Partners in Time remake for Switch!
If we are talking about what this game is in itself, it deserves a 9 out of 10 at least.
I'm not double-dipping, as much as I want to. If this was a launch title for Switch, like the original was for Wii U, that would be one thing. But come on. Odyssey, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, the list goes on and on. It was too late to the party, and I hope Nintendo realizes this.
I could complain about him not being playable, but the fact that everyone's favorite spade wielding crusader is here in this form must mean the world to them.
Brings joy to my heart to see them this happy, because they deserve it.
My ultimate (ha) dream is to have something completely out of left field. Characters we can easily predict are not much fun to have revealed, unless it's something like Ridley or K Rool that people have been clamoring for.
Whether you like it or hate it, at least Piranha Plant was a unique idea, with a neat moveset.
This is easily one of the best companies when it comes to porting games. The three games listed are graphical showcases, with visuals I never expected to see on a Nintendo system. I do hope that Panic Button gets to port many more games in the future, because they do a dang good job.
