Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (23rd November)

TYRANACLES

I’ll be trudging through the muck on snowrunner. What a grueling game this has been for me. Some runs I have found myself so ill equipped to squeeze through a crag or in over my head in a bog. It’s absolutely pitiful country I’ve seen so far it has me wondering are there really places in Michigan that are this treacherous?? I’ve not gotten very far into the game but it has punished me a great deal but I’m finally getting it.

Re: Wario Land-Inspired Platformer 'Antonblast' Scores A Physical Switch Release In 2025

TYRANACLES

I have yet to try either. I love the style and the animation of pizza tower a great deal and the wacky music. It does seem a bit too speedy for me and I do prefer a bit more exploration so if Anton blast gives us that, I’m all in. Just curious how it sets itself apart from wario then. I’ll get both at some point physically whenever that happens. I really would like to see another wario land game again. They’re sorely missed and I much prefer the land games over the micro games myself.

@Eduard_Brenton well if I had gamepass at the moment I’d want to try out metal slug tactics and also snowrunner on there. These are both games I’m interested in owning but would like to see how they play first.

I’ll be playing a bit more Arkham city on the X and some stardew valley with my daughter. We started a whole new farm on the bluegrass farm. Oh what fun! Going back to this game I do wish the time was a bit slower each day, but we love it.

Re: River City Girls 2 Scores A Free Double Dragon DLC Update Next Week

TYRANACLES

Truthfully I thought this was already out. Dunno if this update will work with my playasia copy I have of this game but it would be nice. I haven’t really played 2 that much, it just didn’t hook me like the first one, for one the performance wasn’t so great. Bunny and Jammy look a bit like the battletoads to me.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (2nd November)

TYRANACLES

I’ve had a few days off already so I recently wrapped up a return to Arkham asylum and ufouria 2 that I had been chipping away at. I’ll continue a bit with Arkham city and I just got core keeper in the mail which I’m really enjoying for something very similar to terraria. I really wish it was two player split screen tho to play with my daughter, she loves the little yaks in the meadow you get. I’ll be playing stardew with her and maybe a little battle block theatre for her missing chihuahua head she so desperately wants. That’s a game that could use a new coat of paint and a splat on our switch.

Re: Video: 10 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In November 2024

TYRANACLES

Very nice selection this month. I’ll be getting Mario and Luigi day one. At some point Lego Horizons as well, maybe for Christmas along with sonic generations. Dragon Quest I have preordered already. Tetris and metal slug im going to wait on a bit for a possible physical release. Tetris is a definite at some point but metal slug im not so sure on. I’m not a big strategy RPG guy but I have enjoyed a few.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th October)

@JCWrites I do remember that being the last for the licensing and having Scott hall in there before his release. Also there was something about two covers being released due to Steve Austin leaving the company. I remember getting it day one back in the day and being pretty disappointed in it coming off the great m64 games but they gradually got better on the cube after that. I actually liked 19 and DOR 2 at a tie for the best on the platform. The cube also had ultimate muscle new generation and the def jam vendetta games that were all good for a wrestling game. Def jam fight for New York tho is more of a fighter and pretty hard to come by.

Re: Review: The Smurfs - Dreams (Switch) - Not Quite Smurf, But Surprisingly Smurf

TYRANACLES

This one sounds like the best of the 3 platformers on switch. I’ve never tried any of these but after reading up on them the first seems to have a lot of performance issues and the second runs better but may get a bit boring recycling the same gameplay loop, which is worrisome considering they are short games. Anymore comments from those that have played these would be helpful.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th October)

TYRANACLES

@Croctopus I hear you. I beat Luigi’s mansion 2 for the first time a few weeks ago. The first game is my favorite of the trilogy followed by 3 then 2. Maybe the next console is right upon us and will have GameCube support via the online service and they are saving games like Luigi’s mansion and wind waker for that.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th October)

TYRANACLES

@Freek how is the Doinksoft collection? Gato roboto is the only game in it I’ve played a bit and it just didn’t hold my attention very long.

Yesterday I finished Echoes of Wisdom but I’ll probably go back and finish up some of the side quests. I enjoyed it. I’ll also throw in some splatoon to try and get thru the catalog a bit and Fzero 99 to attempt the satellaview stages. These new stages they’ve added to 99 are so tough. I’ve yet to complete the Ace cup. I always make it to big blue 2 and rank out. These are so cool to have tho and I’ll keep trying.

Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?

TYRANACLES

I dunno I haven’t really been bothered by it, to tell you the truth my old eyes haven’t really noticed it. I remember in links awakening the swamp area had some slowdown but it wasn’t jarring. Overall I’ve enjoyed it but links awakening I had more fun with. This one the combat just isn’t as fun and cycling thru all the little monsties is a bit cumbersome. I love the art style tho and setting.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?

TYRANACLES

This game sets somewhere between an 8 or 9 for me. Zelda is always pretty high up there which makes them my favorite games. I do prefer the traditional dungeons but with the unlockable tool that solves puzzles and opens up secrets to the overworld. I hope we will get classic Zelda’s for years to come but the recent departures have been good as well. This game in particular, I appreciate that we got Zelda to play as and the dungeons are nice. I just wish the wand wasn’t such a heavy influence, cycling thru recipes to cook up for a mob fight can be annoying and gives a bump to combat to the back. I’d liked to have gotten Zelda’s shieka outfit in the beginning as my gift from impa to disguise in and the combat would’ve been different enough from link but more exciting than what we got from the princess to.

Re: F-Zero 99 Update (Version 1.5.0) Adds Five New Tracks, Satellaview Content And Much More

TYRANACLES

Ok so the machine decals, will they actually change the body style of each as well? The satellaview machines look very different from the base game but I hope we are getting those to race as well. I would absolutely love to have a physical version of this game, like splatoon tho, I do hope this game will give us a bots offline option so we can play this long after the servers shut down.

Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online

TYRANACLES

If this is legit my concerns would be the lack of a proper d-pad, it seems too skinny(I’d be afraid it’d overheat easily, and that’d it’d be easy to drop), and hopefully this thing will have a docked option (I’m rarely ever a handheld player). I love my switch but I sure hope we’re not confined to using only joy cons as that was the switches Achilles heel.

Re: Poll: What Is Your Favourite Game In The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection?

TYRANACLES

@JohnnyMind I’m not very good at fighters either but casually enjoyed street fighter, mortal Kombat, smash bros, and soul caliber. Smash and soul caliber are probably my favorites but both of those games were kindve like big sumo matches for me where I relied on ring outs. If it had been included like it was in the mvc arcade 1 up cabinet, X-men mutant apocalypse would have been my most played no doubt about it. It was an excellent beat em up and featured some button combo moves like Ryus uppercut for wolverine and his fireball for cyclops optic blast. Marvel war of the gems would have also been cool as it’s much the same game but with other marvel characters.

Re: Soapbox: Splatoon 3's 'Grand Festival' Was The Perfect Goodbye

TYRANACLES

I just had a random thought for splatoon going forward. What if we get the inclusion of sting rays and manta rays as character types. Big man being featured as an all new species of host could spell something new for splatoon. I could see them fitting right in; swimming seamlessly in the ink much like the squid/octo tribes we got. The big difference I guess is that big man doesn’t change his form from manta to human-like form but I guess it’s ok if they just went to an upright position, much bigger hit box to.

Re: The Last Ninja Collection Brings Seven Retro Games To Switch In 2025

TYRANACLES

@Toastmaster ok yeah that Central Park theme is the one I remember, and as far as I could get. But it was very nice to just put the controller down to listen to that. All the bad taste from playing the game left my mouth once I gave that a listen. That game has no business sounding that good, it’s one of the best for sure.
