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.
There were those reports a few years back about Taylor Swift being transported inside suitcases to avoid the paparazzi. And she’s 5’11”, and Samus is about that height as well. So I think she just rolls up into a ball. But if they could make it a Morph Suitcase in a future game that would be cool.
I liked the original back in the day, not sure about this version though. And most of what the trailer showed was the platforming I didn’t care about as much anyway. Fingers crossed.
Wow, I haven’t seen Kenny Goldin since he was dealing baseball cards with Don West on Shop At Home in the late 90s/early 2000s. He was full of it then, but this is a whole other level.
Have to say that I never understand why so many people who played the game ask for a port of XCX, rather than the sequel we deserve. It’s been 6 years, the ending begs for another chapter…bring on XCX2.
I already put 250 hours into the first one, I don’t need to do it again. But continue the story and I’m in.

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.

Re: Feature: Seriously, What The Heck Is Going On Inside Samus’ Morph Ball?

Re: Actraiser Renaissance Hits Nintendo Switch Later Today
I liked the original back in the day, not sure about this version though. And most of what the trailer showed was the platforming I didn’t care about as much anyway. Fingers crossed.

Re: Random: Someone Made A Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Version Of Google Maps Street View
Probably no surprise that Street View hasn’t made it out to Eventide Island just yet. Very cool stuff though.
Re: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Is Already The Fifth Best Switch Game Of 2021
@Khalic The first sentence of the article states that these are opinions.
Which really goes without saying, as any rating is inherently an opinion. But it was said anyway.
Re: Raji: An Ancient Epic Enhanced Edition Coming As A Free Update To Switch
I picked this one up but somehow never finished it. Maybe the update will convince me to.
Re: Kemco Summer Switch Sale Reduces Seven RPGs By Up To 50%
To be fair, I wouldn’t know the names of their games if it weren’t for these sales. So I guess that’s a partial win.

I’m 100% docked, so no need for me; I’ll wait for Switch 2. But it looks nice for handheld players and newcomers!
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Developer Monolith Soft Reports Huge Profits, Up By 138.2%
Glad to hear they’re doing well.
Have to say that I never understand why so many people who played the game ask for a port of XCX, rather than the sequel we deserve. It’s been 6 years, the ending begs for another chapter…bring on XCX2.

Re: Random: Mario's Nips Are Back In This Beachy Nintendo Pic
All this nipple news has me now envisioning a general ‘body parts’ tag for things like Twintelle’s booty, Luigi’s bulge, etc.
Time to log off, I think.
