Re: New Shadow Raids Are Coming To Pokémon GO Next Week

What is the point of team rocket? I feel like Giovanni could literally do so much more with this organization (and I mean in every iteration).

With how the Pokémon world(s) are set up is also makes little sense. The world is literally a utopia aside from “oh but those guys, those guys are just mean”

Who the heck is Giovanni selling Pokémon to? Literally, who buys illegal or stolen Pokémon?

Re: Talking Point: The Super Mario Bros. Movie - What Are Your Favourite Moments?

ALL THE SPOILERS, be warned

A great movie but it felt more for kids specifically than I thought it would. I appreciated all the Easter eggs, they did them very well, and I was often reminded of little things like that in the 1993 film like the Wiggler cabs.

However, I don’t see myself rushing to watch it again or own it. Comparing the two (I know, I’m awful) the Sonic films are just more rewatchable as an adult. I was eager to own both of those as they came out. I’d gladly turn this on for background sound or if I’m really bored but it felt closer to Minions level film than I thought it would. Still awesome though!!

I am so glad Bowser wasn’t as terrifying as they alluded to in trailers. And I’m proud to say I called the end credit tease exactly!

If I had one complaint? The Luma joke overstayed its welcome entirely. I’m unsure what part of the fandom, the franchises, the characters, they were referencing but it just went on too long and I kind of rolled my eyes when he came back at the end. And of course I kind of wish Luigi had a little more to do, like outwit some Boos or something before his capture.

I actually loved the Kong kingdom stuff a lot. Both Dk and Cranky were awesome. DK saying “well your dads right!” got me rolling.

The brothers’ connection was flawless. I was so happy anytime they were together!

Re: Poll: Is This The Very End Of The Road For E3?

Everything is leaked or data mined now, and sites like this offer up to date info at your finger tips.

There’s no need for a show like e3 unless they turn it into a public space like comicon at this point, where it’s more a social event with announcements, not a press event.

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Story DLC 'Fell Xenologue' Launches In April

Spectrum123

For some reason, the way this game was advertised I (incorrectly) assumed it was like a Warriors/Heroes type of spin off game. I think it may have had to do with the link rings with legacy characters.

But I am seeing it is actually a “new Fire Emblem” game. I think I need to check it out, especially now that the DLC is not just extra ring characters.

Re: Mario Movie Directors Explain Their Take On Princess Peach

@BabyYoda71

-She was very capable in Subspace emissary, having been kidnapped about the same as most any other character.

-There was a video game that was named Super Princess Peach where she saved her friends and kingdom, even defeating Bowser. She was able to hone her emotions to give herself powers thanks to the effects of the vibe scepter.

-In games like Super Mario RPG she is a very capable party member who bashes people with frying pans and the like.

-She’s no slouch in sports and racing games by any means.

But you’ve already made up your mind so I’ll stop there.

I mean she’s been shown to be strong and capable for decades now.

I’m all for her character and what they are doing in the movie but is the take seriously that this is innovative and new?

Hell, even in the abhorred Hoskins movie the princess (don’t get me started) was a strong woman, who even after capture was pretty capable.

Re: Ubisoft CEO Apologises For Internal Comments After Weak Software Sales

This company has such a distinct history of discounting their games so much in the eshop that I have no incentive to buy them at release anymore. I’m getting the rabbids game, but it’ll be the complete digital edition for 19.99 or less.

It’s a bad practice for the business that turned into a bad expectation from me the consumer.
