My first Zelda was Link's Awakening were you had to open the inventory for literally EVERYTHING! So, yeah trudging through the Water Temple was a little slow, but overall, not my worst experience.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who misses Wario Colosseum (GCN). It's always been one of my favorites, and I've been praying for it with every Booster pack release.
I grew up with the PC versions, and the keyboard DEFINITELY worked better than controllers. That being said, I'm still nostalgic for the originals, especially the expansions which STILL have not come to Steam.
@johnedwin "SHOULD" run well. But remembering how bad the GTA "Definitive" release was, we weren't expecting much. Thankfully, RS went with a different dev group this time.
Saw a barrel in an old shop. Reached for my sword... WHERE'S MY SWORD?! Oh wait... Same thing happened after playing RE4. Forgot I didn't have a dagger.
Personally, I don't like using them, but there have been times when I'm just tired of farming monster parts (or waiting on the Blood moon), using the glitch for a moment does help.
If they fixed the dupe glitch, then they need to make quest items more available. When I take out 2 dozen Lizalfos, and not one of them drops a tail, something’s wrong.
I am truly convinced TOTK is an attempt at a soft reboot. It looks like it has a wraparound story from latest, back-in-time to the earliest. After this, we could literally start all over again.
Makes me worry. The gap between admin and the devs. Atari had the same problem in the late 70's and early 80's and we all know what happened. Wouldn't credit the devs, wouldn't visit the departments, gave more credit to ports rather than originals.
Company crashed (along with the industry). I don't want to see the same thing happen to Nintendo.
Honestly don't remember all of them. I remember the original, and I now have the New XL. Don't remember if I got the original XL. Got the 2DS for my daughter, but now it's just collecting dust.
Dusk was originally released on other consoles in 2018 and made it to the Switch, I think, back in 2020 (correct me if I'm wrong). I finally checked it out, and I can't stop! It's retro FPS style (Grampa's 286 graphics!) polygonal madness, and B-E-A-U-TIFUL gory horror story takes me back!
@Tyranexx I concur. However, in our society where women are encouraged to be “strong and independent” to a fault, many see any sign of basic kindness or helpfulness as a comment about weakness. Plus, since chivalry is traditional, it’s also PC to break many so-called “patriarchal” norms.
This definitely needs to be looked into. These are serious allegations. While anything from Kotaku needs to be taken with a grain of salt, sexual harassment is no joke.
On the other hand, the wokeness in the US is out of control. We've had multiple allegations at many establiments (even my own work place) of sexual harassment that have been debunked, mostly from women (and even men) accusing other people of "looking at them funny", misgendering, or using "toxic masculinity." One woman cried foul because a man dared to open a door for her.
Anything goes when people are just looking for attention.
Dude, that's like having a SE Spider-Man comic signed by Stan Lee and saying his signature means nothing. Shame on you!
If you're a collector, you do it not just because you have respect for the art, but for the artist as well. If the creator means nothing, the creation means nothing.
Aside from the last few lessons on Game Builder Garage, I figure I'll go a few rounds on Mario Golf: Super Rush. It's also time to try out a new quest in Legends of Mana! Other than that, I'll just hit the arcade to fill in the gaps.
Let's address the elephant in the room: What can Nintendo do to fix this? They Catch-22'd themselves with this one. Another firmware update isn't going to do it, because WE CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT!
Handful of classics. Aside from my daily AC dosage, I’m making my way through Bioshock (eventually the entire trilogy). With the RE sale, I picked up RE4 for the umpteenth time, and of course, my third installment of Xenoblade. Gonna get 100% this time.

Re: Random: Mario's Speed Golf Would Look Absolutely Ridiculous In Real Life
