@Debo626 Definitely. I'm also sure it'll be there for the Switch 2 ...It's just been so long and expectations are high. Can't wait for whenever it'll come out.
@AmplifyMJ It's great fun with an amazing art style and a very interesting development history. Makes me really wish Nintendo would finally bring back the Wario Land series, be it a remaster of this one or a new game. Shame it sold so poorly.
I think Game Freak is just a mediocre game developer in general and have been for years and years ...Monolith should be allowed to have a go at a mainline entry, or Intelligent Systems, or literally anyone else. In any case, they are in desperate need of help or a delay. I've said this since the reveal ...They're rushing it, like always, but sure, because of all the anime stuff, trading cards, merchandise and existing agreements they have to push it out anyway I guess, but why do so many hardcore fans put up with these full priced beta tests? You deserve so much more, right? Maybe? Am I wrong? I mean, just look at all other Nintendo IP's recently ...They sell a fraction of these games yet are absolutely amazing and you can really tell the developers are competent and are giving it their all. This is literally the biggest franchise on Earth ...When will we get a Pokémon game that has even a crumb of actual polish and time behind it?
...Or maybe I'm just being a huge prick right now and these games are perfect just the way they are. You can like what you like, I really don't want to judge anyone. Just my opinion.
I mean, the water wraith is straight out of Silent Hill already, so that doesn't surprise me at all.
It is still the most terrifying thing in all of gaming ...Well, at least while you're without any purple Pikmin. The Submerged Castle, man ...Absolute nightmare fuel.
Swiss is so awesome, man. Highly recommend everyone try it out. The Xeno mod chip is great too, makes things way easier. The GameCube modding scene in general is probably one of the absolute best I've seen.
And I would very much like to see GBA games on Switch Online. Thank you for asking. Also, original Game Boy and GBC, of course. Why it hasn't happened already is truly a mystery to everyone but Nintendo in my eyes.
The Switch Online N64 emulator doesn't win any awards, but it works just well enough to be worth it for the mere convenience of not having to do it through other, more legally murky emulators or dig out a dusty old cartridge or, god forbid, spend a fortune on some decades- old games you just wanted to check out for fun ...Well, that's my opinion of it, anyway. It's just barely cheap enough for me who is a big fan of the good ol' 64- bit console.
Could do without the painfully slow drip feeding, though. Nostalgia or not and despite them still being timeless classics and very fun today, these are still very old, very crusty games, Nintendo ...It's not the second coming of Christ every time a single one drops each month. Again, though, just my own thoughts.
This is just the wholesome thing I needed today. It definitely washed away some of my stress and anxiety. Thank you, and what a wonderful man Charles is.
Glad to see some 5200 games on there ...Would have liked a few more, though. The quirky 5200 version of Pac- Man in particular absolutely slaps, though I totally get why that wouldn't be on there.
Insane that they managed to get this running so well on the Switch ...Very impressive. I've played it on PS5 myself and was blown away that it runs so well on there, and now it's on Switch. Quite the achievement. What a journey this game has been on, truly a legendary redemption story IMO.
Well, at least it IS free to play and not €80 ...unlike every single modern annual sports game ever that is barely about sports and more like a gambling addict's fever dream with a required €80 entry ticket.
The French and Italian Mario dubs are fantastic ...They are certainly leagues closer to classic Mario than Chris Pratt doing Chris Pratt with a slight Brooklyn accent. Of course, I still like Chris Pratt as an actor ...Just an observation.
If his voice will be unbearable in the final product, though, I can happily watch the French dub. I've done so for plenty of other movies, the Asterix ones in particular ...and since Illumination's animation studio actually making the thing is in fact located in Paris, it doesn't surprise me that the French dub is this good.
I think it looks absolutely phenomenal. I'd like to see a bit more, but for this first little teaser, I think they NAILED it. I'm bursting with excitement and will definitely be there for the premiere at my local cinema with overpriced popcorn in hand and everything.
Wish Monolith Soft would be allowed to make a Pokémon mainline game instead of these guys ...I really don't like Game Freak as a developer. Monolith is truly squeezing some absolute magic out of that little X1, with every game they make and help out on looking spectacular for the hardware.
Sure, it's another cool mini SNES, but ...man, I'd kill for an official GameCube Mini. I don't even care how much it'd cost. This just reminds me of that.
Edit: Actually, I'm kind of warming up to the look ...It's no original Sonic Movie, that's for sure. I think it's the angle that made this one look weird at first, but it's not bad at all.
May not be relevant, but I swear, every single time I see a 6/10 review on here, all I think about is this ...
I mean, this meme is a literal fossil at this point, but I just can't let it go. I always quote it for every single 6/10 review that pops up on all these sites. It's just so funny to me for some reason.

Re: Random: You Can Now Buy A Real-Life Mario Kart And We Want One
@Debo626 Well aware of that. Just a wish. Chill out, we're all friends here. I agree it came across as a bit too whiny, though, so I've changed it.
Also, I know more than most just how bad it can get with those comments, but I assure you I'm not one of them.
Re: Random: You Can Now Buy A Real-Life Mario Kart And We Want One
Eh ...I'd rather just have Mario Kart 9.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Service With Two More Titles
Both of them?! Nice! Just waiting for 3 now and I'm all set.
Also, this could perhaps mean GoldenEye is set for December.

Mario Party 6. Period.
3 and DS are up there as well, though.

Oh no, here we go again ...Quick, brace yourselves!
On a more serious note, though ...That's pretty rad.

Re: Retailer Leak May Have Revealed Full List Of Games In Atari's Anniversary Collection

Re: Rumour: Possible First Look At Mario's Movie Face Appears Online
...Oh God. I hate it. Hope it's better in motion.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Worst Game That You Still Love For Some Reason?
Definitely the worst of the Mario Party series (except Advance, that one is beyond saving) ...and a fair few older movie license games.
Also, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash on the Wii U (Yes, I'm dead serious. I played a ton of it).
