Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Three Super Mario Games

TheBigBlue

Sure we have these games in their snes form already, but what I find seals the deal here is that Nintendo dropped all 3 at the same time from out of nowhere. We’re gonna get GB and GBA games that haven’t already been announced as well and I’m so pumped for that. Imagine if they make hell freeze over and add the Sonic Advance Trilogy. Good lord.

Re: Advance Wars Switch Director Would Love To Work On Kuru Kuru Kururin

TheBigBlue

Kuru Kuru Kururin? I tried that on the GBA switch thing and that game is bloody DIFFICULT. Still, I wouldn’t mind playing another one to kill time when my internet dies again. I don’t think many other people would be asked what franchise they want to work on and confidently say “kuru kuru Kururin, of course!” I swear fans will also break their bones for a new Chibi Robo at this point too.

Re: Random: 'Sonic 5' Is Trending, And No, It Doesn't Mean 'Sonic 5' Is Definitely A Thing

TheBigBlue

@DanijoEX A few internet “leakers” like Jeff Grubb a few weeks before the September Direct that Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD for the switch would be announced, and that Metroid Prime Trilogy HD would be announced for the switch in December. So Twitter got all of those games trending before the direct, and it got so much notoriety that even Nintendo Life had to cover the situation in an article. Twitter trends are so dumb and presumptuous.

Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?

TheBigBlue

Its also brutal how in the modern age we call games we don’t like or approve of things like “cash grabs” when people literally spent 15 years begging and fussing at Nintendo to make a new strikers, and 10 years for them to make a new Wii sports. When Nintendo finally bothers to make new entries for those presumed dead franchises, people spit on those games and say they are inferior to the older entries. Battle League and Switch sports aren’t even bad games. People will always play the “lack of content” card against them. Just because you hate the games for not having stupid amounts of content doesn’t mean the games are unplayable and bad. They are family tailored games and they can still be quite fun.

Re: Miyamoto Thinks Mario Movie's Critical Reception Contributed To The "Buzz"

TheBigBlue

Those reviews might have actually created some weird reverse effect. “The reviews for the new Mario movie that didn’t look half bad from the trailers were negative? Huh, well it can’t be that bad, I guess we’ll go see what the fuss is all about.” That’s how I assume most casual watchers of the movie thought of it, or maybe they just like Mario. Or maybe I’m wording this poorly.

Re: Japanese Charts: Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Cleans Up

TheBigBlue

Doesn’t really matter if the PS5 outsells the switch these days, because the switch is both 6+ years old and it’s been sold to everyone who has wanted one worldwide (135 million+ people). PS5s are selling now because after two years of scarcity and brutal scalping, you can finally find one in a store for purchase at its base price

Re: GameStop Fires Employee For Leaking Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch

TheBigBlue

What a stupid employee. Getting fired over stupid useless internet points. Mike and all of us know that Nintendo doesn’t mess around with leakers and is very protective of their products, yet he still posted those pictures. And Nintendo, we all would have predicted a special OLED for this occasion as well regardless. Splatoon 3 and Scarlet/Violet had their own dedicated OLED themes, so why would they not give a theme to the game that’s bigger than all three of the games I just mentioned? Anyway, Mike, I hope you didn’t ruin your career over being a Reddit spoiler. Safe travels, ok?

Re: Soapbox: Can We Stop Pretending Switch Can't Run Call Of Duty?

TheBigBlue

THANK YOU NINTENDO LIFE! These people are so annoying and think they are so intelligent. It’s not like they’re trying to make COD run on the damn NES, here. The switch is capable of running the older cod games like the ones from the Wii era for sure. Maybe not the newer Modern Warefare 2 or whatever it’s called. Thank you so much! These twitter warriors need to shut up and retreat to their basements already. Maybe I’m going overboard, but this has been such a long and painful topic. The switch can run the older games, and maybe even a newer one or two. Simple as that

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Bros. Movie, And They're All Over The Place

TheBigBlue

These reviews might be negative but they are absolutely unbelievably hilarious. Rolling Stone’s review made it sound like the reviewer was out of his mind instead of actually watching the movie.

And who’s the idiot that said it was nothing like playing the games? That moron must have showed up to the premiere with a damn video game controller, cause I don’t think he knew it was a ‘movie.’

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of The Super Mario Bros. Movie Are In

TheBigBlue

Judging by all the praise being aimed at the cameos, I am starting to feel that this is more of a celebration of the Mario franchise as a whole. And ‘boring plotline’? What were you expecting out of a formulatic Mario film? A five star classic? It’s just meant to be good simple fun, and I think that’s the best approach, it being an illumination film as well. That’s what they do best.

Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED?

TheBigBlue

Sorry, that's a no around the board. I will probably hold onto my basic model switch even through the future generations. No point in blowing precious money on a console I already own (yes, it's an OLED, but it's not that different to be a dealbreaker) No matter how many scratches or how broken my switch gets, I'll probably keep it for as long as I am able.

Re: Chris Pratt Defends "The Voices" In The Mario Movie

TheBigBlue

I mean, Chris has a tolerable voice. I could stand that voice for an hour and a half long movie. Charles Martinet is one of the best video game VAs of all time, but I couldn’t listen to “LETSA GO, WAHOOO” in his tone for that long. I think it’s better reserved for the video games where his lines are much shorter. Make him voice Wario or Waluigi in a cameo or something! His voice for both of them is top tier!
