Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - May 2021

StefanN

I'm glad Knockout City turned out good. You know, with everyone hating on EA and their non-support, successful EA games on Switch is the best way to get what we all want: Sims. I mean...we all do right? Okay maybe you guys want something else, but i want The Sims 😅

Re: There's A New Pokétoon Short, And It's Bloody Gorgeous

StefanN

@Heavyarms55 Haha fair enough, i completely agree with you 😄. Just one thing i'd mention though, the angry people are always the loudest...which doesn't make it any better, just bad in a different way 😅. And of course that does reflect on the community as a whole, makes you think everybody is like that. Sometimes it just helps me preserve my faith in humanity to remind myself "No they're not >all< blind with anger, but the ones that are, are the most likely to voice it" haha.

Oh yeah and it also prevents me from going blindly mad at people myself. I feel like you might feel that same kind of anger. So many people obviously bought the game, but people just rarely express their happiness when everything is up to their expectations. Specifically saying it like that btw because Odyssey and BOTW got so much praise. Maybe that is because people didn't know what to expect from those games but everybody thinks they know what to expect from a Pokemon game. And maybe it's also just chasing that nostalgic high they had with the first games...like, i recently tried Pokemon Y on a very legal 3DS, not an emulator on my phone at all and i didn't really enjoy it. I think it was universally liked, right? That made me think, maybe my appreciation really is mostly nostalgia (but i also just don't like turn based strategy as much anymore nowadays, soo)...then again, let's wait a couple of generations and people will probably say Sword and Shield were the good ones and the new ones were bad 😅.

Phew, sorry, my reply was pretty all over the place, it just made think of so many things at once, haha.

Btw on topic - that cartoon is goooorgeous and really makes me feel the Pokemon hype again i had as a kid!

Re: There's A New Pokétoon Short, And It's Bloody Gorgeous

StefanN

@Heavyarms55 I mean a high-quality cartoon like this is why fans are dissappointed when the games are lower quality 🤷‍♀️. (not taking any sides here btw, i just wanted to say that people's complaints are not just always overblown, there's not just black and white - but maybe i'm missing your point anyway)

Re: Two Point Campus Appears On Microsoft Store, And It Looks Rather Bonkers

StefanN

Oh. My. God. YES. This sounds awesome! Two Point Hospital was great, even looked and ran great on Switch. I would assume we're getting this, i sure am excited for it! Also, looking out for your students' needs and all, that sounds almost Sims-ish and since i've been desperately craving that on Switch, this might help scratch that itch a bit!

Re: Cruis'n Blast Could Be Coming To Nintendo Switch

StefanN

I'm all for over the top racing games. Little dissappointed that the cars just seem to explode away when you touch them for a little whiile though. I wanna feel like i have an impact when i ram other cars, like in Burnout for example.

Re: Review: Before I Forget - A Poignant Portrayal Of Dementia

StefanN

Also, on topic - i feel games like this one are important. And important to get right if they try to tackle something like it. I'm glad to see they've done a good job with it. Games are definitely a medium that i would wanna use as a means of gaining insight into topics like this. Much respect to them for wanting to bring light to this.

Re: Review: Before I Forget - A Poignant Portrayal Of Dementia

StefanN

@Kalmaro No no i feel you man. I completely agree with you. I wasn't using a double meaning either, i legit just did not understand what you tried to say and i'm just asking to be able to 😅. I don't need an answer if you don't want to though, i'm sorry to hear that about your grandfather. I wish you all the strength i possibly could for this, just as much as i do wish it for your grandfather!

Re: SnowRunner For Nintendo Switch Might Include Mod Support

StefanN

@nessisonett Yeah absolutely. Thinking about it, i mostly just didn't want to mess with Planet Coaster items that weren't in the game. I just liked the challenge of making what i want to create out of the parts the game gave me. Other than that, with like these great mods for Isaac, i don't know what used to hold me back and nowadays i definitely would want to try them. So, personally, it's not about it being dodgy or anything, i think there's a variety of reasons why people don't want to use them. Which of course doesn't speak against how great it would be to simply have the option.

Re: Nintendo Will Reportedly Ramp Up Switch Output To 30 Million This Fiscal Year

StefanN

I'm super excited for a Switch Pro. Sorry to all who still regard it BS, i believe in it. I would have also gotten a Switch Lite long ago, if it wasn't for the added complications of replacing the joysticks for when they eventually start to drift :/. I just love the look of the pink Lite so much 😕.

Anyway, more on topic, glad to hear that the Switch seems to be doing so well!

Re: Review: New Pokémon Snap - The Best-Looking Pokémon Game Yet, And A Joyous Revival

StefanN

I remember being so bummed out as a kid that the N64 emulator on my PC always crashed on Pokemon Snap 😄. Uh i mean, luckily i had a legal copy, lots of legal copies and tons of N64s to play it with though, yup, so i wasn't missing out, not at all, no, not me, nuh uh.
Anyway, considering Pokemon Sword and Shield weren't much fun for me anymore, i suppose i outgrew the series or something 😕. Would still like to give this a spin though, maybe it rekindles the magic somewhat.

Re: Ubisoft's 'Irresistible Deals' Event On Switch Ends Soon, Up To 75% Off (North America)

StefanN

@Desrever Dude so much! Honestly a reason for me to actually use Instagram more, haha.

@Skunk Awww thank you for wanting to see if i got something to show off! If you want you can check out "CatsInBed" on YouTube, a friend and me are making Lofi tracks there! It's a nice way for me to express myself and help me deal with how i'm currently feeling. Also i just checked to see if you got something, and wow, i absolutely admire your dedication! Your art is super good, but i really want to point out your discipline in particular, because that's something i'm working on myself 😅.

Re: Review: Rain on Your Parade - A Refreshingly Brief But Saccharine Shower

StefanN

@nessisonett Haha, those are some great examples, thank you! But i wanted to ask more or less what it means in the context of this game/review. But i think i get it now. The reviewer probably meant it's created in a way that outright says "i want to look cute for you", right? 😄 As opposed to...idk, "Good Job!" for example. That game is really cute, but in a more classy, less on-the-nose kind of way.
