Loved these games on my PSP! I will not back the kickstarter, but will get it when it arrives in the far(?) future. Patapon 2 was definitely best entry IMO, I do think the third entry lost a lot of the charm of having a large army. This spiritual successor seems to have charm in spades.
Honestly, I am not sure yet. We have seen so little of the next generation regarding upcoming games that it is hard to choose yet. If you would pressure me to make a choice, I would get the PS5 for the exclusives to accompany my Switch. I'll wait a little longer to make a decision (maybe wait until the console revisions).
Here in denmark they had a 35% discount on all Lego sets in a specific store. My inner child was screaming at me to buy a few sets... So I did walk out of there with 3 sets. The double dose of nostalgia of Mario and Lego makes it a fun decoration in my living room.
@DevlinMandrake Ah oke! I do agree with your line of thinking that there is room for both, especially on a switch of a metroid fan like me. But at first glance it looked so similar to me that I thought I was looking at the same game. Anyways, I will probably pick this one up.
I fell in love with the series on the 3DS. From the music to the deep battle mechanics, these games are a joy to play. Hope the next stage is the switch, but I do wonder how they plan to change the series for the new platform, since mapping out the dungeon is such a key component for the franchise.
I have a crack in the back panel near the right joycon as well, happened somewhere in the second week after buying it at launch. Noticed it after undocking it since I wanted to play in handheld mode.
"If he’s not in a car, the race would be over before it had begun. Cars are apparently used to level the playing field."
They have been using this reason for most of the Sonic Racing games. I like it, and the games even more. Even though I am bummed that All-Star racing is no more, I am looking forward to a new fresh arcade racer.
Played with Mechanica while trying to master the Pro controller. Was using motion controls up untill this point, and the button controls took some time to get used to.
I don't think this will be a new character, since for previous character updates the version went up to 2.0 and 3.0. Since this is still 3.2, it is probably a new mode.
This became my new phone background! It also got me thinking... Imagine playing a 2D Mario with this art-style! Rayman Legends shows what you can do with great hand drawn graphics... So why can't Mario follow suit?
Looking forward to this. Recently I started to like the more simple pick up and play titles, and the demo made my laugh too many times. Casting your friends is crazy fun. I was wondering about the length of this game though?
This might get me to play again. I just couldn't stand the visuals while playing on my Mac, and installing mods wasn't an option for me. This is the way Mincecraft should look in my eyes.
I have been loving the demo! It got me addicted to Tetris all over again! I will most definitely watch these videos, I could use some tips for puyopuyo....
@River3636 This is precisely the problem I have with videogames nowadays. That feeling made me sell almost all the games in my possession, except for some multiplayer titles for whenever I have people over.
Besides that problem of not having enough time, when you get older, other things become more important. Playing videogames make me feel like I am wasting the little spare time I have. I could be hanging out with friends, play bass guitar, exercise etc. That feeling sucks all the fun out of the games for me.
I enjoyed what I played, but the game really cramped up my hands... Holding all the triggers for precise shots while shooting and walking felt uncomfortable. The matches that I played were fun though.
Ahhh, I remember exploring the NSMB DS website to find all kinds of secrets and downloads, like wallpapers. I was so hyped for the game, that I imported it from america because it launched there earlier. Little me was only 11 back then...
I like King Bob-omb for what he stands for. He is the first test of how well you mastered 3D movement. And if you haven't mastered that yet, he picks you up and throws you off the mountain so that you can train some more and try again when you reach the top.
And for some reason I always have a lot of trouble against the SMB bowser. Just bad luck I guess.
I need to be rich next year to afford the NX, a vacation to NYC, and to be able to sustain my life as a student. So riches it is! I am already fit, so I don't need that
I have had no problems with the online multiplayer. Everyone did what they had to do, and when it went wrong it was mostly hilarious. The icons are good enough for the communication, but allows others to think for themselves as well. The bonus challenges are where the game is really shining though

Re: Bluetooth Audio Volume Gets A Welcome Boost In Switch System Update 14.0.0
That is great to hear (Pun definitely intended). I always felt that the max volume for my AirPods was a bit low when connected to the switch.

Re: Gorgeous Gothic Metroidvania The Last Faith Is Bound For Switch
Looks good, but what makes it different from Blasphemous? That game has a very similar style.

Re: Feature: Revisiting Symphony Of The Goddesses With Its New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Music
@Fortuna95 I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did!
They had some cool surprises, but I felt some songs were strangely missing. The souvenirs were really expensive as well.
@Mr_Zurkon, you are kind of right with your prediction about the BotW music

Going on friday, can't wait!
Re: ARMS Version 3.2 Trailer Shows Off 'Badge Stash' Achievements and Mysterious New Character
I don't think this will be a new character, since for previous character updates the version went up to 2.0 and 3.0. Since this is still 3.2, it is probably a new mode.

Re: Review: Jotun: Valhalla Edition (Wii U eShop)
