Re: Nintendo President Says "Most" North American Switch Online Users Have Upgraded To The Expansion Pack

The_Blue_Mage

@KryptoniteKrunch Most of the comments on this site are like that sadly. But its because its the most outspoken fans that come here and complain when something doesn't go their way, even though ultimately they are just wasting their energy. This is Nintendo saying that the expansion pass was a success for them and they are moving forward with it so complaining won't do anything, unless of course the majority complain and stop buying, which won't happen

Re: Feature: Will These 10 Classic JRPGs Ever Come To Switch?

Man, really hoping for a re-release or remake of Xenogears. Such an amazing game honestly. Chrono Trigger, really surprised that one still isn't on the switch. Makes me think they have some other plans for that game...But to add to this list, I'm still waiting for Super Mario RPG to make an appearance on the Switch.

I have it and played it, its fun for what it is but man this could have been so much more. This could have been Square's baby if they handled it right. They honestly should have just made it free to play from the get go then there wouldn't be so much backlash. And instead of just focusing on FF they could have used all of their IPs including DQ, Lara Croft, Live-A-Live, Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default, etc but oh well

Re: Feature: 6 Things We Pokémon Vets Want To See In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet

Here's a suggestion that I would love to see and haven't seen any one mention: They should implement a "fail forward" system in the game. For example, you can actually lose to your rival, but if you do instead of replaying until you do beat him/her, they just say something like "get stronger and face me again!" and it opens up another encounter a little later but it doesn't soft lock you at all or prevents you from actually moving forward in the game. Now I dont think this could be applied to every battle in the game but at least for the rival

Honestly, its not even the F2P or Zynga part that gets me (I mean, I think Pokemon Unite is great and its F2P and Tencent...). Its more the fact that these characters don't appeal to me at all. Woke Sith girl, robot Jedi, Jawas, Wookie go-SMASH, yawn. But if its your thing, more power to ya.

Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes Stay Top, And They're Selling Faster Than Sword And Shield

The_Blue_Mage

While I don't agree with the quality of these specific entries, Im sure there are plenty of people having a ton of fun with the game and Pokemon has been doing a good job of staying relevant throughout the years. I'm waiting for Legends Arceus before I pick up another entry though, decided to pass on this one as Gen 4 never really stood out to me personally

Re: Three Street Fighter Legends Are Now Playable In Brawlhalla

The_Blue_Mage

I tried this game but its just not my cup of tea. Its more slower pace than Smash and most abilities are tied to weapons instead of the characters. Wish we could get a proper Indie Smash-like game featuring popular indie characters...yes I know of Bounty Battle but I want something similar but 3D and well, much better than that game lol

Re: Sakurai Says He's Not Thinking About A New Smash Bros. Game, But Won't Rule It Out

They shouldn't rush into another one any time soon but there are tons of improvements they could make in the next installment. Ultimate is by no means a perfect game and there is a lot of room for improvement. Just to toss some ideas around for the next installment: No clones or echo fighters, costumes and DLC costumes for the characters, no Mii fighters, updated kits for all returning fighters (Luigi with more moves involving his vacuum from LM3, Young link that revolves around using various masks from MM, even giving Mario slightly different moves to match his current games, etc.), a smaller but more balanced roster than Ultimate.
