Re: Video: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Gets A Brand New Overview Trailer

I like to imagine Nintendo is holding out on releasing the first game until the new console releases. Because of its structure Nintendo was able to make it an absolute showcase of the GameCube hardware early on and I could see them wanting to do the same for the next console. Or they are just weird and want to sell the remaining 3ds copies šŸ˜‚

Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition - Deluxe Set?

@Teksetter I went ahead and did the same thing. Went with the deluxe edition just because these games and the NWC are very nostalgic to me. I still have fun playing most of these games on the app and my NES mini. I was younger when the classics rereleased on GBA and I loved them.
I would have liked an OG NWC mode or just a NWC tournament for new switch games but this is still nice. I’m just glad it’s being acknowledged by Nintendo 🄳

Re: Rumour: Switch Successor Might Not Be Launching Until 2025

@johnedwin I mentioned that they would have momentum going in 2025 if they had a decent lineup of games announced this year. Though the numbers are down, that doesn’t mean the steam ran out. Naturally sales decline year after year. But they are still pulling in decent numbers in its seventh year. Though they aren’t selling better than ever, they just still have a market for this product at the moment.

Switch sales are still going strong and with a lower price point, I can’t see a major gaming company pumping the brakes on that unless the new console will be a possible switch upgrade. So many kids are constantly approaching gaming age and the current switch has been a great way for them to start gaming in a safe environment. I can’t see us current switch owners keeping this momentum going for Nintendo the past few years. That being said, a 2025 release just makes sense. Besides we’re only a direct away from several games possibly releasing this year on switch that would keep momentum going thru 2025. It wouldn’t hurt them to release this year, but I can see the conservative approach in the current gaming industry.

Re: Poll: The Final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo Arrives This Week, Will You Be Getting It?

@the_beaver I finally bought the all in one package when it was on sale and my only regret is that I waited this long to play it. I was 10 I believe when it released and only had a GameCube at the time, so it got skipped. It really is a magical experience and is definitely in my top games list. Donald and Goofy are a trip šŸ˜‚
I heard from my buddy that 3 is a little much but 2 builds off the first one well so I’m excited to start that one. I’m also about to start my first playthrough of final fantasy 7 too. Too many great games I need to play!

@FishyS I recall a lot of ā€œlook at what someone made in animal crossingā€ articles a few years back but it was definitely spread out over a course of a few months. Then again this game is apparently breaking records elsewhere too šŸ˜‚
And just like anything popular in gaming nowadays, I’m sure it won’t be nearly as popular in a few months. But who knows šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
Elden Ring is a good example for me of a highly anticipated/acclaimed game that is now barely mentioned beyond its dlc.

@MarioBrickLayer ocarina of time is such an epic adventure. One of my all time favorites. Go out there and save hyrule! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it šŸ˜„
@Lizuka I played both n64/nso and the 3ds and though I played it on the original hardware more, the 3ds version has a slight edge. Like you stated, they fixed those boots which helped game flow and the 3d is implemented well. I’d just like a bigger screen. A little hand holding with hints but I’ll be the first to admit I read a walk through for the water temple back then šŸ˜‚ Again something the 3ds version fixed.

Re: PSA: PokƩmon Bank Is Now "Free To Use" On Nintendo 3DS

I feel dumb. Bought crystal last minute and downloaded PokĆ©mon bank and completely forgot about PokĆ© transporter. By the time I could get the PokĆ©dex, it was too late…my fault for procrastinating. I was also in mid purchasing 3D excitebike on my other 3ds when the shop went down 🄲
