I haven’t kept up well with Street Fighter so maybe I’m missing out on something but…Chun-Li looks more realistic while Ryu looks cartoony? He’s comically large. Kind of an odd mix.
@mystman12 Yes, it’s average. There are too many great games out there — more great games than I’ll ever be able to play — for me to settle for average.
@ThePizzaCheese It’s not fair to say that “nobody bought” Wind Waker. It sold 4.6m copies on GameCube, which is the equivalent of selling 21.9m copies on Switch. BOTW has sold 25.8m copies on Switch, and it’s considered an enormous success.
It’s also not likely that Nintendo will launch new hardware this year. Their own comments to the contrary — and their MK8D DLC strategy — indicate as much.
With the amount of money they’ve made from this game, the DLC tracks really should have been polished to match the visual quality of the main game. That’s the one thing keeping me from buying this.
I played when it first came out, and had a good time. I allowed myself to spend $40 on it (my reasoning being that’s what I’d pay for a 3DS game). It probably wasn’t too long afterward that I lost interest. I’ll stick to the main games.
@Astral-Grain I don’t own it either, because of the reviews. Game Skinny also gave it a 3/10 and their review details their problems with the game, including bugs.
Clearly this should’ve been held back for Crab News Thursday.
The proportions are all wrong though, no? The loop is barely taller than Sonic himself; the crab is as wide as the bridge is long. It’s like the whole landscape got hit with a shrink ray. Then again, people would probably shudder at the price if it hadn’t been.

Re: Raji: An Ancient Epic's 'Enhanced Edition' Update Out Next Week On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes
I bought this one at the time but drifted away without finishing it. This sounds like a good incentive to come back.
Re: Gallery: Square Enix Releases New Dragon Quest Treasures Screens From Its Trove
Looks pretty good. When are we getting Dragon Quest Builders 3?
Re: Bayonetta 3 Has A "Naive Angel Mode" For People Who Don't Want To See Bums
What if you like butts and aren’t a huge fan of blood and gore? Seems like that mode should exist too.
Re: Astroneer Update Adds Trains, Plus New Narrative Mysteries And Merch
That plush is too cute.
Re: 'Let's Build A Zoo' Is A Cute And Calming Management Sim Where You Build A... Zoo
Finally! I think this was supposed to come out last summer.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Launches Next Week
Why is this not getting a regular physical release? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is not some kind of niche property.
Re: Capcom's Next Street Fighter Game Won't Be A PlayStation Console Exclusive
@BloodNinja Ryu is the real Lechonk.

I haven’t kept up well with Street Fighter so maybe I’m missing out on something but…Chun-Li looks more realistic while Ryu looks cartoony? He’s comically large. Kind of an odd mix.
Re: Random: The New Hog Pokémon Lechonk Has Already Become An Internet Superstar
Hope they started making those plushes already…
Re: Metroidvania 'Souldiers' Gets A Stylish Launch Trailer And Physical Release Details
So it’s a 1.6 GB download in June for $20, or a cartridge in September for ~$40. Given those factors I think I’d go digital.
Re: Sega Plans To Leverage More Past IP With 'Remasters, Remakes, Reboots'
I’ll take remakes of Phantasy Star I - IV, and/or a newly developed Phantasy Star V.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th May (North America)
Car Parking Simulator?
Re: PSA: Experiencing Switch OLED Blackouts In Docked Mode? Swap Your HDMI Cable
I wondered why mine had been doing this lately. Thanks.
Re: Review: Bugsnax - A Charming Idea That Struggles In Execution
@mystman12 Yes, it’s average. There are too many great games out there — more great games than I’ll ever be able to play — for me to settle for average.
Re: Review: Bugsnax - A Charming Idea That Struggles In Execution
Too bad, I had this one on my list. But there’s no need to spend time or money on a 5/10.
Re: Bear And Breakfast's New Video Shows Off The Game's Management And Decoration Mechanics
Bear News Tuesday 😃
Re: Feature: The Best (And Worst) Selling Games Of Nintendo's Biggest Franchises
What about Star Fox Guard? It was available as a standalone purchase and has to have sold fewer copies than Zero. It’s kinda fun though.
Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?
I wouldn’t be thrilled about it, since I got an OLED fairly recently. But yes I would consider it.
Re: Two Point Campus Delayed To "Deliver The Best Possible Game"
I’ll get it whenever it’s ready.
Re: Random: Requests For Zelda Ports Increase Following BOTW 2 Switch Delay
@ThePizzaCheese It’s not fair to say that “nobody bought” Wind Waker. It sold 4.6m copies on GameCube, which is the equivalent of selling 21.9m copies on Switch. BOTW has sold 25.8m copies on Switch, and it’s considered an enormous success.

Re: Round Up: The Rune Factory 5 Reviews Are In
FWIW, Destructoid gave it a 6 and Siliconera gave it a 5.
Re: Chill, Cosy Horticulture Game 'The Garden Path' Gets New Gameplay Trailer
This game and retirement both sound great. I’ll keep an eye out.
Re: Talking Point: Not A Mario Kart Tour Fan? Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC Gives You The Best Of Both Worlds
With the amount of money they’ve made from this game, the DLC tracks really should have been polished to match the visual quality of the main game. That’s the one thing keeping me from buying this.
Re: Rune Factory 5 Lets You Cook, Fish, Smith, And Ride Cows With The Love Of Your Life
@RupeeClock Carefully.
Re: 'Switch Pro' Trends On Social Media After Massive Nvidia Leak Reignites Speculation
I just bought an OLED ☹️
Hope this doesn’t happen for a while.
Re: Min Min Smash amiibo Arriving April 29th, Steve & Alex Minecraft amiibo Delayed
Kinda weird that Steve gets a player 2 amiibo and Byleth doesn’t.
Looking forward to Min Min though.
Re: Random: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Player Defeats Lynel By Bonking Him With A Rock
@RadioHedgeFund Have you seen the one about the tent flaps? She’s on fire today
Re: Gallery: Another Look At The New Musou - Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
Excited to get back into the world of Three Houses. Day one for me.
Re: Min Min's Smash Bros. amiibo Could Be Arriving Soon By The Looks Of It
Happy to pick this one up. My son still plays Arms from time to time.
And if they want to go ahead and make a female Byleth, either for Smash or Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, my wallet’s waiting.
Re: MonolithSoft Director Shares Insights And Hints On Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Can we get a new batch of physical copies of XC2 and Torna first?
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Hits Switch This June
Not the news I was most hoping for but I’ll take it.
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Has Generated Nearly $1 Billion In Revenue After Five Years
I played when it first came out, and had a good time. I allowed myself to spend $40 on it (my reasoning being that’s what I’d pay for a 3DS game). It probably wasn’t too long afterward that I lost interest. I’ll stick to the main games.
Re: Random: The World's First Gamer Nut Butter Is Made For Gamers To Eat While Gaming
The product photo with the spoon looks disgusting, and achieves the opposite of the intended effect.
And why Pong? That game is 50 years old. Not exactly a timely reference.
Re: Publisher Chibig Announces Four New Switch Games, Plus Big News For Summer In Mara
@Astral-Grain I don’t own it either, because of the reviews. Game Skinny also gave it a 3/10 and their review details their problems with the game, including bugs.
Re: Publisher Chibig Announces Four New Switch Games, Plus Big News For Summer In Mara
Did they ever fix Summer in Mara? That should probably be the first priority.
Re: Koei Tecmo Confirms Fatal Frame And Blue Reflection Sales
I bought Blue Reflection: Second Light. One day I even plan to play it.
Re: Wireless NES Controllers For Switch Are Currently On Sale In North America
Seems like this should just be the regular price.
Re: Square Enix's Triangle Strategy Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch
@Gitface That’s fine, just don’t tell the exact same one for literal decades
Re: Square Enix's Triangle Strategy Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch
Penis jokes like that were old 30 years ago. Guess I won’t hold out hope for much wit in this one. Hopefully the gameplay’s good.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Has Now Shipped Over 4 Million Units
Well deserved, it’s a fun game. My kids still regularly play it.
Re: Lego Officially Reveals Its Sonic The Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone Set, Available On 1st January 2022
Clearly this should’ve been held back for Crab News Thursday.
The proportions are all wrong though, no? The loop is barely taller than Sonic himself; the crab is as wide as the bridge is long. It’s like the whole landscape got hit with a shrink ray. Then again, people would probably shudder at the price if it hadn’t been.
Re: Nintendo Is Adding Another 3DS Course To Mario Kart Tour
Fire Emblem Fates?
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Camera Games - Photo Modes And Photography In Switch Games
Ryza and Ryza 2?
Re: Metroid Dread Crowned #1 In TIME's 'Best Games Of 2021'
@Taylor88 It’s the best-selling Metroid game in almost 15 years. Hopefully the awards inspire even more sales.
Re: Nintendo Announces Huge Cyber Deals Sale Starting Today, Up To 50% Off Top Switch Games (North America)
@Axecon DQXIS is on the list.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Version 1.3.0 Is Now Available - Wave 2 DLC, Adjustments, Fixes And More
Happy to return to this one again, it’s a great game.
Re: Random: This Nintendo Switch Birthday Cake Makes Us Want A Thick Switch
Beating Bon Appetit to the punch with this one 😉

@Devann You misspelled “best.”

@Ryu_Niiyama Affectedly or excessively dainty, delicate, cute, or quaint
Re: Steve And Alex Will Both Receive Smash Bros. amiibo Figures In Spring 2022
As others have said…if we can get both Steve and Alex, and both Pyra and Mythra, then it sure would be nice if we could get a female Byleth as well.
