Re: Soapbox: Labo Could Help Nintendo Finally Crack The World Of Education

ThatGirlFinley

I agree, this could definitely be a good entry point to the education sector for Nintendo.

A lot of people also might not realise that these Toy-Con could easily be integrated into other games from Nintendo or different developers too. They could be used to create a variety of interactive scenarios or different control styles. They're not just limited to a quick mini game.

Re: Hands On: The Future Of Gaming Is Cardboard, Thanks To Nintendo Labo

Oh my god, this is genius. Only Nintendo could surprise me in such a positive way. I was upset before the direct because I thought they were just going to announce some £500 VR headset or something like that. The same as all the rest of the companies. Boring. But then I saw THIS. LABO. It looks amazingly fun and it has so much potential to expand beyond the confines of cardboard. At it's core it's using sensory data to interact with the digital and physical worlds in sync with your actions. I think I may have a reason to use my coding skills now if I can get off my butt 😂

Re: ESA Attacks World Health Organisation's Decision To Classify Gaming Addition As A Mental Disorder

ThatGirlFinley

I personally have joked about being addicted to video games and I've spent countless hours playing them. The number of hours spent playing them equates to actual years of my life. However in saying that, no I don't believe they are actually an addiction. They're just a hobby for me. I enjoy playing them and immersing myself in something outside of reality for a while. I don't believe I NEED them and I could easily stop and never play a game again if I wanted. I think this is a bit of an overreaction by the WHO and honestly it reminds me a little of moms on fox news complaining about video games being evil and making their kids violent; ridiculous but funny.

Re: Poll: Surprise! A New Zelda Is In Development, But What Do You Want From It?

Being able to go underwater would be great in my opinion. And using classic items from the series instead of the runes would be another positive step. Add in proper, Zelda style dungeons and it would be a masterpiece. Though I really see so much potential to expand upon the open world concepts with Zelda that it's hard to focus my imagination. More and better sailing like in Windwaker perhaps? What about masks and the excellent area designs of Majora's Mask?

Re: Here’s Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon’s First Global Mission

I wish they would have gotten rid of the plaza and just went with something similar to omega ruby and alpha sapphire where everything was much more streamlined and easy to access. They could easily have just made small adjustments to the system they had there and it would have been perfect.

Edit: As far as the mission goes though I suppose it's possible. I usually catch around 10 Pokémon in the first few days so if there are many more people with similar habits it will be a cake walk. On another note though...what are the festival coins for?

Re: Nintendo's Updated Switch and 3DS Infographic Shows Off Winter Line-Up

ThatGirlFinley

I've put thousands of hours into Skyrim for the PC with and without mods and can say I'm still excited to get it for the Switch. Even though it doesn't support mods. I'm also looking forward to getting Pokémon Ultra Moon (with the Pokéball themed New 2DS XL), Mario & Rabbids, still need to get Splatoon 2 and Arms too, Shovel Knight: King of Cards and the new Mario and Luigi game.

Re: Soapbox: Breath Of The Wild Is Amazing, But Is It The 3D Zelda That Enthusiasts Expected?

ThatGirlFinley

I think the soundtrack is beautiful. I was just sitting listening to it on its own earlier and I was impressed that it still sounded so great without the game playing alongside it.

EDIT:
Though I do have to admit that as far as the game goes I was slightly disappointed with the dungeons and bosses. I got used to not having all the cool, permanent weapons and items from previous Zelda games but it would have been nice to see a couple again. I miss the ball and chain from Twilight Princess, lol

Re: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Starter Trainer's Pack Confirmed for North America

ThatGirlFinley

I'm getting the game regardless (I have it pre-ordered) but I do feel that Nintendo should have given us more details about the game at this point. The trailers don't tell us enough. I'm having the same problem with Skyrim for the Switch where there just aren't nearly enough details about the game. I wonder if there will be another Direct in the near future? Wishful thinking I suppose. 😧

Re: Video: Check Out the First Footage of The Mummy: Demastered

ThatGirlFinley

I think there are a lot of new developers and designers popping up these days too that were inspired by the retro gaming era and want to make games based on the styles that were present at the time. Just as on the flip side there are those who want to continue to expand the scene and develop new and interesting graphics and technologies for their games. It's pretty evident with the list of games releasing lately.

Personally I think this looks awesome graphically but I'm not sure if the gameplay is something I'm interested in or not at the moment.

Edit: Not to say that all that are interested in producing retro graphics are new to the scene. I'm sure there are some hardened veterans out there who want to revisit and revitalize the retro look and feel too.

Re: Editorial: Farewell to the Flawed Miiverse, But Thanks for the Memories

ThatGirlFinley

I miss Miiverse. The only reason I hardly ever used it was because I didn't play my Wii U very much and (in my opinion) it felt clunky on the 3DS. But I still loved it and thought it was an amazing platform for social interaction among gamers. I'm usually more of a recluse and an introvert but I enjoyed posting on Miiverse. And getting likes from people on my drawings was a good confidence booster. XD

Re: Digital Foundry Comes Away Very Impressed With Skyrim On Switch

ThatGirlFinley

All I want to know is if this version will include mod support. I really don't understand how we STILL don't have any details regarding that. We still don't have clarification that it's the Special Edition either (other than some fans swearing to Talos that it is).

But I am pretty excited regardless of those details. I put a lot of effort into getting a portable version of Skyrim running back in the day so this is like a dream come true.
