Re: Talking Point: Star Fox Zero Is 10 Years Old - Have You Actually Played It?

SoIDecidedTo

I just realized I bought this day one, and never opened the box! I still have that and Guard in the original double pack. I always planned to play it, and then got distracted. Just like I have the starfox edition of Starlink and never opened it too. So apparently I am a huge fan of Starfox, just not enough to actually play the games. haha but at least I buy them (and his shirts)

Re: Star Trek: Resurgence Will Likely Be Delisted Very Soon

SoIDecidedTo

I'm not a marketing genius, but if you know you're going to delist, and never done a sale, shouldn't you drop the price to like $2.99 and try to get as many people give a go as possible? If 100 people would still be interested at $19.99, or 100,000 at $2.99, wouldn't it make sense.

Of course I guess only they know what the interest actually is (% of people who saved it for later).

Re: Mini Review: Beyond Words (Switch) - Addictive In The Best Ways, But Totally Copies Balatro's Homework

SoIDecidedTo

BALATRO was my FAVORITE game of 2025. I played it instead of my Nintendo Switch for almost my entire trip to China. I kind of got burned out once I got the the higher levels (level four I think, maybe the black chip) because I just couldn't win any more. So I tried the easy levels again and couldn't win then either. I don't know what changed, but it seemed like everything I would build my deck for, I'd get a boss that countered all of that. Lost all joy in the game. It definitely didn't start out like that for me. Maybe just dumb luck.

Re: Random: Jack Black Jokingly Suggests A Third Mario Movie Will Arrive In 2029

It would be cool if all the koopa kids come back as the antagonists. Imagine Bowser has gone missing. Bowser Jr is alone and weakened. Then he learns of a mysterious council. All the kids are in silhouettes on screens. Then Mario has to go battle them in different worlds. Actually, that could be a tv series that leads to the movie where Wario is the bad guy...

Re: Nintendo's Apparently Cutting US Switch 2 Output After Lower Than Expected Holiday Sales

SoIDecidedTo

Wouldn't it make more sense to go ahead and make them now and store them than wait since the price of chips seems to keep going up up and up? Maybe no room in a warehouse for them.

I like my Switch 2, but having had it for a while now, I see no reason to upgrade from my Switch OLED. I've yet to play MarioKart because I don't care about Mario Kart like that. Donkey Kong is fun, but I'd rather just play a few matches of Splatoon than DK. I got Madden but thought it was trash compared to the old school ones on PS2 / 3 so don't need that. And honestly on trips I just take the OLED one with me since I'm still playing Odyssey on that.

I'm not knocking the system, just saying I think a lot of people feel like I do, there isn't compelling software coming out each month. I haven't played Metroid yet, because as soon as I saw the motorcycle thing, I lost all interest in playing that. I just imagined a lot of tedious driving back and forth time.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mario Hoops 3 On 3

SoIDecidedTo

There was an old school 5v5 game i played on the computer, probably circa late 80's early 90s where there were there were 10 players and you drafted a team like a pickup game. I think it was Street Sports Basketball by Epyx (same people that got me hooked on California Games!). I always thought there should be a Mario game like that. It could be 3 on 3, but you pick your team and each player has their own special skills that gives strategy. (That might have been this game, but I never played it). Just like I want them to do a remake of "Ice Hockey" which to this day is one of the best hockey games ever.

Re: Missed Potential Or A Campy Classic? Switch 2 Exclusive 'Tokyo Scramble' Hasn't Been A Hit

SoIDecidedTo

@Koda1000 100% agree. That's why I have kind of given up on reviews from most sites or metacritic scores. I do like how NL reviews games. I'm usually within a point to 1.5 points from what they score it.

Like Metropolis: Lux Obscura is a 49 on Metacritic, but is actually one of my favorite match 3 puzzlers on the switch. Sure it has nudity, but I'm an adult. And a gritty themed match 3 is hilarious is concept to me, but I bought it on sale, and what I really like is the mechanic that you can slide a piece all the way down the row or column, it doesn't have to be adjacent. It has 4 endings, (I always thought there would be a hidden one). So long story short, that's why I don't believe metacritic dogpile reviews. The game is fun, but because of adult themes it go pushed down. Oh well, if they ever come out with a sequel I'll buy it. That and Lumines are my two goto games when I want to kill an hour when bored on a flight.

Re: Stellar Blade Dev Might Be Eyeing A Switch 2 Release In The Future

SoIDecidedTo

I remember this game coming out on PS5 and a few people getting so upset about the games protagonists looks and "physics". I haven't kept up with it, but at the time the creator said they wouldn't change anything. If it is truly the same game and not censored, I would buy it. I like people that stick to their vision and are not pushed around by the "morally superior". Also, I've heard it is a GREAT game.

Re: "I Am Not Going To Abandon Haunted Chocolatier" - ConcernedApe Responds To Fan Concerns

I'm in the camp that I really glad he is taking his time to make sure this is done right. There are SO many games that are coming out monthly anyway. I would rather someone take the time and get it how they envision it, instead of cutting corners and putting out a product they are not proud of. I'm so glad that Stardew Valley has stayed so evergreen for him. The world needs more creators that have this much passion for a project.

Re: PSA: Switch 2 Visual And Performance Improvements Included In New Rocket League Update

SoIDecidedTo

@Nep-Nep-Freak I agree. Back when I paid for it, I really enjoyed the experience. For some reason after it went free to play, I just started enjoying it less and less. I haven't played it since FTP season 7 or maybe 8. I can't remember what changed (since that was like probably 4 or 5 years ago I quit). Also had to turn off voice chat as soon as Nintendo let them add it because the last thing I want when I come home from work is a 12 year old calling me the f word because I missed a pass (after scoring all four of our goals haha). I might give it a try on Switch 2 just to see how good it looks.

Re: Splatoon 3 Ver. 11.0.0 Update Launches Later This Month

SoIDecidedTo

@phartsy Yeah, I actually liked that 2 took away the Kraken. I'd like to see the Killer Wail revert to it's original form as well. If I could have any special back, it would be the seekers that gave multiple seekers at once. That was OP as heck, but since I have such close range with the roller, it made sense to have something that could stretch the field. THat's why I use the curling bombs now.

Re: Nintendo's Investors Are Reportedly "Spooked" As Stock Slides

SoIDecidedTo

@Serpenterror Other than the switch 2 being trash (your last point), I agree with everything you said. It feels like the hubris Nintendo had after the Wii and launched the Wii U. I have a switch 2 and the number one game I play on it is.... Splatoon 3. Which I can play on my OLED. Mind you, it does look better on switch 2, but not $500 better. If I had to do it over again, I would have not have bought the switch 2 when I did (July). I would have waited for deals at black Friday or something. The $450 with Mario Kart World seems fair to me. I have yet to play Mario Kart Work and only sparingly play Donkey Kong. It just becomes so repetitive. I don't know why, but there is something about it that lacks the magic of Mario Odyssey or even Mario Wonder. I'll keep playing DK though, because it does seem to get better as the game goes on.

For the stock price, Nintendo is a great stock to make money off of. Their stock price is very cyclical. Switch 2 announcement, it went down. Switch 2 sales figures, it went up.
Now it will go down. Once they announce some games that will sell a ton (Animal Crossing, Splatoon 4, Mario, etc) it will go up again.

Re: Splatoon 3 Ver. 11.0.0 Update Launches Later This Month

@phartsy The Triple splash down I think is the most overpowered things in the game. I can't tell you how many times I've thought I had the drop on someone only for them to hit me with that. They should make the circumference of them MUCH smaller. I main the roller which means I usually fight close to people. Maybe the Triple Splash Down is less intense for people that fight from a distance, but for me, I only escape 1 out of 10 probably.

Re: 'Team Solo' Takes Gold In Splatoon 3's 'Frosty Fest' Splatfest

SoIDecidedTo

This seems rather simple. If you don't like X, don't click the link. If you are ok with it, click it. BlueSky instabans a lot of people if they say one thing that people don't agree with. It becomes an echo chamber. I do not understand why so many people think, "I don't like something, we should ban it!" Just because you do not like something doesn't mean that no one should be able to use it.

But for the reason I came to comment, Team Solo winning makes me happy. I thought Team Friends were SOLID! I could dominate a lot of the team Family though. It's weird. I've never had a splatfest like that before. If I saw the Mustard yellow ink at the beginning I KNEW we had a W. If I saw the blue, I knew it would be a battle.

Also, I greatly dislike the 10x and 100x battles. I even won ours but just don't like the concept. I could win 8 battles in a row, but then if had a 10x and lost, it defeated all of the wins I did. I'd rather each battle just count once, what do others think?

Re: Opinion: I Finally Finished Ring Fit Adventure, And It Might Be Peak Nintendo?

SoIDecidedTo

I have a friend that loves this game, and after 6 years of having a Switch, she only plays this, Zelda BoTW, and Animal Crossing. I was a little curious about it, but you make me want to give this game a try (and I go to the gym 3 times a week already (hence why I never thought I would want to try).

And funny, I misread pootling as pooting and laughed so hard. In my childhood, this was the polite term for farting and I imagined someone in the gym walking around farting. haha

Re: Nintendo Denies Using AI Images In New 'My Mario' Marketing

SoIDecidedTo

@MamaSymphonia I'm all for keeping jobs for humans and not ai, but as a former hand model (Gosh I have had an interesting life), it looks more to me like someone that is not a hand model to do some modeling.

I can hear the director saying "MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT BLOCK THE SCREEN!" but at the same time she has to hold it sturdy enough a kid can drag on it without making her move or drop the tablet.

It could be AI, but it looks more to me like a model that hasn't done hand modeling being told what to do and trying to be overly cautious.
