Re: First Edition Pokémon Trading Cards Are Getting A Reprint For The 20th Birthday Of The Franchise

Slaz

@Tsurii Ah yes, that would make sense! And I forgot that Wizards used to print them, as I haven't got Pokémon cards for at least over 10 years. I gave them away to neighbouring kids. But I just know original first sets have some value on eBay. So, this reprint would be unlikely to decrease that value as something as simple as a year mark makes them totally different in the collector world, just like the first print of a book.

Re: Poll: Did The Final Video Presentation for Super Smash Bros. Provide a Memorable Ending?

I'd prefer Rayman above everyone, but hey, Bayonetta is a pretty cool addition with her focus on strategic combo's. Cloud is okay, his Limit gauge definitely gives a twist to the 'another swordfighter' trend we feared. About Corrin, hmm, I honestly don't know what to think. For now he's just another swordguy (or gal) with different ranged attacks.

I guess it's a fine ending to a DLC era, but it didn't end in the blast I expected.

Re: Poll: Nintendo's Free-to-Play Experiments - Are You Still Playing?

Let's see. I've spent around 120 hours in Pokémon Shuffle and put in about 10 Euro's total, and those were used solely on Coins (items) and never Hearts (play time) so I can't say that money made me play it more or less. The game feels very generous towards players, and I like starting it up right before or after playing a 'normal' game.

Rumble World is something else if you ask me. I played it for about 110 hours in the same manner as Shuffle. But did you know that Rumble World has a strict all-time limit for amount money you can spend? It's more a DLC type game where anyone can choose how much of the game they want to pay for, or let patience be rewarded. Either way, about €30 is the max if I remember correctly, then you can buy all balloons and even get a VIP treatment including a Diamond Digger that digs up 40 Poké Diamonds a day to keep you going. That's what I did, so I spent aboyt €30 on this one never te pay for it again!

For Badge Arcade, well, I used up about €20 on it already to complete all the Mario sets, themed my Home menu like a pro, and will now play for free forever on a daily basis, as I'm not looking for more badges and don't really like tge gambling aspect this title has. Also, out of all 3 f2p games this one's the least generous, with few free plays even through the Practice Catcher giving little motivation. If you want all the different badges that will ever be released, I'm sure you'd need to pull money worth 10 full games or wait 15 years, if the app isn't offline by then..
