Re: Where Are Mario Kart World's Non-Mario Racers? Producer Kosuke Yabuki Has The Answer

TYRANACLES

We’ll see if dlc can make up for it but kamek, diddy, and the lack of koopalings are a big miss. I really could care less about the added stage props as characters like crab or fish. These koopalings were some of my favorite characters. This Mario kart is ok but 8 was so much better to me, not just in the roster but most importantly the levels were more challenging as there were more places to fall and tighter corners to take. This game I feel like I’m racing down a wide freeway half the time.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Officially Reveals Nickelodeon Collaboration

TYRANACLES

The biggest problem with these crossover characters is the lack of interactions we will most likely get with the rival system. If Joker and the other non sonic sega characters don’t have this interaction, I’m sure it’ll be the same with this dlc. These characters just cheapen the experience. It’s kind of like going to a Chinese restaurant and they have chicken tenders and French fries on the menu and heavy rock music playing overhead. I prefer something more cohesive and done to the best, quality over quantity if you will. Luckily you don’t have to have these characters in your game but joker and yakuza are there and I’ll just overlook them I guess but they are an eyesore amongst the bigger cast of animorph toonsy characters that do interact in the rival system.

Re: Reaction: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Instantly Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2025

TYRANACLES

Boy howdy did this deliver?! It was like watching the Oxy-clean guy this direct, “but wait there’s more” one after the other. This game has so much heart and is so interesting in all the wild things you can do with it. I’m very impressed by this, and almost wished I’d never seen it truthfully. Had I gone into this blind, my socks would’ve been shot right off my feet, but still it could happen, I know Nintendo didn’t show off everything. I imagine there is some sort of sea creature to transform as and some of the Kong friends, I didn’t see in the showcase but I see they could be in from another article here I’ve yet to read. I’m so happy to have a good 3d platformer to play on here. Most Donkey Kong games I’ve enjoyed even as well as the best Mario titles, so this is definitely my most anticipated switch 2 game so far.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th June)

TYRANACLES

I have the dreaded shingles, but I’ve been taking an antiviral to help fight them and it has gotten better thankfully. It hasn’t been to bad but uncomfortable, the worst part for me is just the strong backhand of reality that I’m getting older. I’ve been healthy most my adult life but I can’t wake up early and stay up late like I used to. I’ve got to take better care of myself.

I have been playing switch 2 with my family this weekend. Mostly Mario kart world which were loving. I really like the knockout tour. I still think I like 8 better but we’ll see overtime what happens. I think we’ll get more tracks, costumes, and characters added overtime. I really want the koopa kids back, Roy is my favorite kart character afterall.

I’ve been also playing breath of the wild the S2 version on master mode and I dunno if I’ll stick with that. It’s great to revisit but I may go to normal mode. It’s so hard, the enemies have so much more health but the real kicker for me is that it regenerates and when you’ve got a big group of moblins you’re taking on with a stick, a club, and a pitchfork, you’ll be breaking a lot of your weapons and retreating to safety a lot of the time. I’m revisiting hello kitty island adventure each day on here to and it runs so much better. No more long loading screens and stuttering here. On the Xbox I’m getting some games of Overwatch in as well. I returned to it a month ago and still find it so fun especially now that they brought classic 6v6 back.

Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo Switch 2 - A Faster, Slicker, Sexier Switch

TYRANACLES

I think that’s the right number for the console but I really think they missed an even better opportunity giving us the ones screen and a little more batter, even if that’s around $100 more I think most people would have been fine with that. The portability is the big sell for many on the switch, for me it’s their games, but I think it’s somewhat of a step down in picture quality and battery from the oled switch 1. But I do really like its size and feel, and the upgrade many games have gotten on load times and how they run. I mostly play on the tv so these things aren’t as big of a deal to me but the launch lineup is what I’d like to fix most. Just another game or two that’s switch 2 exclusive would have really helped. I love Mario kart at launch but they could’ve used a few more games.

Re: Poll: So, Did You Order A Nintendo Switch 2?

TYRANACLES

I didn’t see this listed on here but as far as we cards go I thought I saw 2 tb cards on amazon for a little over 200. That’s very pricey but maybe I’ll wait until I actually need more storage and go for that when there’s a sale. I’d like at least a 1 tb but I don’t plan on buying much digitally on switch. I really am only interested in the physical for this platform but over time I may need that much as games aren’t getting any smaller these days.

Re: How Well Do You Remember Super Mario Galaxy 2?

TYRANACLES

At first when I saw this game I thought Nintendo could’ve done something a bit more original and gave us something new but then I played it and had no regrets with their direction. It is more Galaxy but it has plenty of new ideas and is a total joy to play. I’m not sure which galaxy I like better but both games together are probably my favorite way to play Mario 3d.

Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd May (North America)

TYRANACLES

@JohnnyMind you sir are our very own Italian ambassador. I now know a little more Italian thanks to you and sevex.

Pipistrello I have ordered and I’d like to find a physical of onimusha 2. I have recently ordered the first. I really like the look of this series and never have played them.

Re: Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter 6 Collaboration Goes Live This Week

TYRANACLES

@Coolmusic yes that is quite puzzling. That is for sure the most glaring omission. I could see him as a Sagat myself, maybe even bring his uppercut back as a perk or something.

I just started playing this again actually and it’s been a lot of fun, there’s a few characters they switched up that I don’t like as well anymore.

Re: Nintendo Partners With Samsung To Produce Main Chips For Switch 2

TYRANACLES

I knew we’d get this eventually, the question is how long will it take? I have a switch 2 on order but would be fine waiting on one. What I care about most in a system update is a boost in memory, that’s switches greatest weakness to me. Sure you can expand it but it’s a big price you pay and I’d see more value in doing just that with an oled model with a bright screen and robust internal storage. Patience usually pays off but I’d say we won’t see one of these for another 3-4 years.

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th May (North America)

TYRANACLES

This will be my first dive into a fantasy life game. I preordered one off of playasia and can’t wait to play it, I just hope it performs well. The capcom game I’ve ordered to, that will be my first time trying power stone which looks great. We really do need more 3d fighting games.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?

TYRANACLES

I’m actually playing the switch more, loading up on physical games I’ve missed. I have a switch 2 coming but part of me wants to just get a brand new oled instead to play all the great games I have. I don’t foresee the switch 2 having as many great physical releases at this point. I’m fine hanging my hat on the switch if that’s the case.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (10th May)

TYRANACLES

@Stormcloudlive I’ve actually been interested in these games lately. I did read about how the controls are cumbersome so I went with the classic game. It still is clunky I think but they added touch controls so I dunno if it’s much better or not.

This weekend I’ll be taking the moms out to dinner near this place on the lake. I rented a golf cart so we’ll drive all over the park and hopefully enjoy the nice weather. I’m sure I’ll play some hello kitty island adventure a bit and I’ve recently returned to Overwatch on the X and it’s good to be back playing mystery heroes again.

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th May (North America)

TYRANACLES

I preordered Yasha on vgp for the physical but I’m not so sure it was something I really needed as it is another rogue lite but it looked decent and I do like the art and time period. Hopefully it’s a suprise sleeper.

Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Switch 2 Games

TYRANACLES

Mario kart, donkey Kong, and Metroid are sure shots for me on switch 2. I’m considering grand bazaar tomagotchi plaza, and the new rune factory. I’ve never played any of these games or their series so not sure about them. Kirby star crossed and maybe the two Zelda upgrades physically I’m considering also just because I like those games so much.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Tells Studios "Do Not Underestimate The Physical Edition"

TYRANACLES

For anyone who hasn’t played this game or the expansion, it’s definitely a good time. I’ve already played thru and beaten this so I don’t believe I’ll be revisiting it but I really hope it does well. These developers are one of the few good guys these days as they’re going the extra mile for physical collectors. I’ve never played a rune factory or that many harvest moon/story of seasons games but I’ll probably get them since there’s not much else physical I’ll be getting for switch 2.

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?

TYRANACLES

I won’t bother with key cards. I won’t want to use up much space on my switch so games I can play elsewhere I’ll just download them on that with more space on my other options. From here on out I’ll be saving more money I think on games which isn’t a bad thing for me. I will be getting the card releases of games I like. Yeah it’s going to be more than I’m used to spending on a game here out but I’m thinking the games I get will be worth it.

Re: Major French Retailer Says Switch 2 Pre-Orders At "Historic Level"

TYRANACLES

I do not feel nearly as hyped for this system launch as I have any other Nintendo system before it. Mario kart and donkey Kong look great but everything else shown I’m into I can play on the switch. I’m plenty happy having Mario kart as its only launch day one must have but the price hike coupled with the fear of a widely digital game front for the future in limited storage is a major bummer for me. I’ll try and get this when I can for sure but I don’t believe I’ll be buying as much for this thing if it’s going to be mostly key cards or digital which may be a good thing for me anyway for the price. I’m happy it can play most of the switch physical games I have tho, I have plenty to occupy myself with as it is.

Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO

TYRANACLES

For games not mentioned I’d like, timesplitters future perfect, gauntlet legends dark legacy, xmen legends 1 and 2, twilight princess, 007 nightfire, Mario tennis, Metal Arms, Mario party 4 and 5, ultimate muscle, def jam vendetta, Metroid prime 2, cubivore, freedom fighters. I’d be suprised if anything I mentioned that’s not first party would ever show up here tho.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 US Pre-Orders Start 24th April, System & Launch Game Pricing Unchanged

TYRANACLES

@JohnnyMind you have a good soul and are always positive. I try to be that’s a good trait to have.

I’m happy to hear we finally have a date in the west, I’ll try and get one with a pro controller, Mario kart, and I’d like to see about and sd card in the future. I’m not sure where to get the right express card in 1 tb size for a good price. It is pricey but that’s just how things are going to be for awhile. Groceries are bad enough. I’ll just have to be choosy on which games I buy moving on.
