Latex case is a little disappointing. It’s on as a pencil bag I guess, but I love the cloth Kirby one way more. Was hoping for another of those, but maybe on the next one.
The way ratings are affected by casino games is really silly. Playing poker is not a problem. It’s just a game. There are far worse things on the eshop right now than a poker game lol
Picked it up today and I’m liking it. The original was one of my favorite GBA games and so far the remake is great. I enjoy these “simpler” Mario games, honestly.
Not surprised. I love Ace Attorney, but it has always been pretty niche. The fact it’s just a collection doesn’t help as well. So I’d say those numbers are fine all things considered.
Considering the big deal they made about Bank being free to use after the eshop closed, this was the right thing to do. Not sure how long it’ll last, though.
End of an era, for sure, but I haven’t touched online stuff in years. Unfortunately, outside of Mario Kart and maybe Smash or Pokemon, most online games have been a ghost town.
I admit, I’m surprised this got so popular as well. This isn’t the first Pokemon inspired/ripoff game to come out. I guess it just hit the right notes to go viral?
Regardless, I wonder how long it will last in the spotlight. I guess some are enjoying it and hey, glad they’re having fun, but it’s definitely not my cup of tea or what I want out of Pokemon.
Literally never lol. I still have all my old Game Boy, DS, GameCube, and Wii games too.
I just don’t think the payoff for selling any of it is worth it. Any of the valuable ones I own I want to keep and the rest wouldn’t be worth the trouble of trading in lol
@Solomon_Rambling I agree. Best case scenario is to have both. We kind of already do with stuff like Gamepass or PS+. Even Nintendo Switch Online lets people access certain dlc or buy it to own if they wish.
I think a lot of us here like owning stuff, but there are plenty of gamers who are content with only playing a game for a week and moving on. I mean back in the day, renting games was really popular. So I think having both options, streaming and buying to own, is the best. That’s how it is with movies and music right now anyway.
I think people are misinterpreting what he’s saying. I also don’t think what he’s saying is something new. We already have Gamepass, PS+ and Nintendo Switch Online. Those are all services where we don’t own the games. It’s no different than video streaming or music streaming. Now, is that the future of gaming? Who knows. It’ll probably be like movies and music where both coexist. That’s my guess.
I’m interested in the Felix games, but this just isn’t worth physical LRG prices. Two old games isn’t much of a collection. Definitely going to look for this one digitally.
Saw that update download today and figured it was nothing major lol. I’m hoping we’ll get something added eventually they had the free Christmas Sonic skin in December.

I’ve regretted missing out on Pikmin the first time around. Glad I got a chance to snag one!
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Mario vs. Donkey Kong
A 7/10 game isn’t bad. Just means there isn’t anything mind blowing to it, but Mario vs Donkey Kong is still a good time.
Re: Review: Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Switch) - An Easygoing, Kid-Friendly Remake That's Just Fine
Picked it up today and I’m liking it. The original was one of my favorite GBA games and so far the remake is great. I enjoy these “simpler” Mario games, honestly.

This is actually the funniest version they could’ve done

Can’t wait to see what they do next!

Another article about the game that you can’t play on a Nintendo system. This is getting real old.
Re: Jim Carrey Returns As Dr. Robotnik In Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Movie
This makes me very happy. It wouldn’t be right without Eggman!
Re: Japanese Charts: PS5 Newbies Dampen Apollo Justice's Opening Statement
Not surprised. I love Ace Attorney, but it has always been pretty niche. The fact it’s just a collection doesn’t help as well. So I’d say those numbers are fine all things considered.
Re: Sonic Superstars Celebrates 'Sonic X Shadow Generations' With Free Shadow Costume
Oh, wow. This game is never getting DLC then, huh?
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Is Speeding Onto Switch Autumn 2024
Oh I am definitely picking this up!
Re: Palworld Modder Returns With 'Legally-Distinct Pocket Creatures'
“It’s totally not Pokemon” and yet the Nintendo news website keeps publishing articles about it.
Can’t play this on the Switch. It’s not by Nintendo. But it’s relevant content for this site because….?
Re: Surprise! Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Now Has Even More New Spirits
A Zagreus spirit!?!?!?!?!?
I need to get back into Smash lol
Re: Microsoft Lays Off 1,900 Xbox, Bethesda And Activision Blizzard Employees

Re: Reminder: The 3DS Pokémon Bank & Transporter Services Are Still Online
Considering the big deal they made about Bank being free to use after the eshop closed, this was the right thing to do. Not sure how long it’ll last, though.
Re: Online Play For Steel Diver: Sub Wars On 3DS Has Been Discontinued Early
This is one that I just never got into. Always seemed like a cool idea and something I’d play eventually. Guess that “eventually” never came lol
Re: It's Official, 3DS And Wii U Online Play Ends 8th April 2024
End of an era, for sure, but I haven’t touched online stuff in years. Unfortunately, outside of Mario Kart and maybe Smash or Pokemon, most online games have been a ghost town.

Hard to believe this game is actually a year old, tbh

Re: The Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Has Officially Wrapped Filming
@Tempestryke I agree. It was pretty baffling to make a new main character when Liu Kang is right there lol
Re: The Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Has Officially Wrapped Filming
I hadn’t heard Karl Urban was cast as Johnny. Don’t get me wrong, I love Karl, but him as Cage is an odd choice. He just doesn’t have the look, imo
Re: LEGO Zelda 'Deku Tree' Set Rumours Resurface Online
That’ll be expensive as heck lol

@johnedwin Still? I thought they fixed it by now
Re: UK Charts: Mortal Kombat 1 Kicks Mario Wonder Out Of The Top Three
I did get MK1 on PS5 instead of Switch, but I gotta say, I’ve been enjoying it.
I had MK11 on Switch though and it was pretty nice to have on the go. Might have to double dip in a sale lol
Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?
Literally never lol. I still have all my old Game Boy, DS, GameCube, and Wii games too.
I just don’t think the payoff for selling any of it is worth it. Any of the valuable ones I own I want to keep and the rest wouldn’t be worth the trouble of trading in lol
Re: Players Need To Start "Feeling Comfortable" With Not Owning Games, Says Ubisoft Subs Boss

I’m interested in the Felix games, but this just isn’t worth physical LRG prices. Two old games isn’t much of a collection. Definitely going to look for this one digitally.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Free Epilogue Lands On Switch Today, Will You Be Playing It?
I do agree with others that this isn’t “free” lol. It’s just part of the DLC. Not sure why they delayed releasing it, though.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Free Epilogue Lands On Switch Today, Will You Be Playing It?
Just finished the epilogue. It was a nice little event. Fun to see the DLC characters interact with the friends from the main game.
Overall, pretty short. Just a few battles and then a fight with the mythical. But still, I enjoyed it as a wrap-up to the DLC.
And for anyone wondering, once you complete the epilogue, Arven, Penny, and Nemona are available as coaches you can call to the blueberry club room.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Free Epilogue Lands On Switch Today, Will You Be Playing It?
Will this also add the other coaches to the club room in the dlc? Curious what kind of Pokemon you can get from Arven, Penny, and Nemona.
Re: Sonic Superstars Receives Small Update On Switch

Re: Surgeon Simulator Dev Bossa Studios Confirms One Third Of Its Staff Have Been Let Go
Just seems like it’s harder for these smaller companies to stay afloat. A bummer to see.
Re: 'Switch 2' Will Be An Iterative Evolution And Will Cost $400, Predicts Analyst
Never thought I’d say this, but at $400 I may hold off until a major game releases exclusively for it. We’ll see, though.
Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Ago, The Action Replay Ruined Pokémon For Me
Honestly, I agree. Cheats in games are fun and all, but it really does make the whole thing boring. I only ever use that kind of stuff in postgame.
Re: Super Mario Run Scores A Super Mario Bros. Wonder Event Update
Last thing I expected to see today when I logged into Mario Run for my daily platinum points. Wonderful!
