If you ask me, make an example out of Nate. It's not just frustrating for stockholders, but also fans who prefer that element of surprise. That announcement of the Ocarina of Time remake will lose a lot of impact now because of this guy. Nail him on the board of shame, Nintendo, and do it last week please.
I love the creativity, but personally I couldn't make a creature (like Totodile) that has a big snout, because it would bug me too much when they turn sideways and it's all flat.
I'll probably end up making a few as pets though! Or try to, at least.
So they just randomly drop a new battle mode on a random week day and nothing else (content wise) eh? I thought that update would bring more. Not complaining about Bob omb blast but it's not enough to pull me back in. I'll probably still just play 8 Deluxe if I want my Mario Kart fix. Or.. probably any other Mario Kart. I won't get many costumes, but I'll get more fun out of them.
The few amount of characters is a little bit of a bummer, but hopefully this game will be the turning point on quality for Avatar games that will bring further quality games from Avatar in the future. I'm personally not big on fighting games (Smash aside), but I'm pretty interested in this one.
Yes, I blamed you guys for not covering the art (or frankly, just not using a different piece of art that's not Fox), and I stand by that, because you're still shoving it down people's throats whether they want to see it or not. If Miyamoto jumps off a bridge, that does not mean you should do it too.
No, I don't think it's a big deal. At the end of the day it's still just a cameo appearance in a movie. But that does not mean you guys couldn't handle it better. And calling fans out for calling you out on it does not put you in the right.
With all due respect of course. I don't wish to stir up drama, I just wish everyone is able to approach this movie the way they want to: fully spoiled, or spoiler free while still able to browse a website like this. That's all.
@progx Did I say the world revolves around me? There are plenty of others who did not want to be spoiled but still got spoiled because websites like nintendolife decided to share the news like this. If I was the only one I would have sucked it up.
And again I do not see the issue with being more discreet and giving people the option. I truly thought options were a good thing. 🤷🏻♂️
@progx And Star Fox fans would have been able to find out about it by clicking the article.
I don't see what the issue is with being more discreet about these things. I thought y'all liked OPTIONS. How about the option on whether you want to be spoiled or not.
@Dr_Corndog It really doesn't matter who posted it on Twitter, not everyone has social media accounts, and some who do deliberately avoid social media to avoid spoilers exactly like this. It's really a simple matter of common decency, if you ask me. I see zero reason to not simply handle this more tactfully, outside of making people mad and getting them to click on the article because they know people will complain about it.
Like I said before, they could very easily have made the title and image spoiler free and put the actual spoilers inside the article, and everything would have been fine and dandy. Just because Nintendo themselves throw around spoilers because they don't care does not mean news websites need to do the same.
@MegaVel91 It's called a joke. Believe it or not I'm capable of making those sometimes.
...even if it apparently didn't hit the funny bone of the good people of Nintendolife since that comment got removed. They're the ones spoiling people but somehow I'm the bad guy lol.
Edit: wait I made a third post before but I forgot what it was and now I see the post I thought you were referring to is still up and I'm confused as heck now, I don't know what my third post said.
@Dr_Corndog Not everyone goes on social media, or even avoid social media altogether to avoid spoilers like this.
They could very easily have handled this more tactfully here start nintendolife. Use a different, non-Fox image, use the title "New Surprise Character Announced for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie", and presto, spoiler avoided, while those who don't care can look at it anyway.
But nintendolife knows this brings in the clicks and I guess they're due for rent. 🤷🏻♂️
I hope we get a Yoshi's Woolly World theme someday, though I'll happily take a Mysterious Book theme as well if that soundtrack ends up being oh similar cozy, good quality. Yoshi music is perfect for this honestly, even the games of lesser quality (New Island aside, I would not want to wake up to Yoshi Clan music).
You can most likely still find the game cheaper physically than you can buy it digitally. At least over here, I often find games for over 10 bucks less than the MSRP.
Either way, even if not, I'd still opt for physical, especially for this game. That box art looks TOO GOOD not to grab.
The biggest thing that could have sold me on this would be making the Yoshis unlocked from easy mode and possible to use power ups that aren't Wonder forms. This review, along with that omission, means I will not be diving into this one. They have yet to sell me on a Switch 2 edition of a game that I've played before or that isn't free.
Definitely getting this one. It's funny to me how a game about Miis is one of my most wanted games right now since I typically don't care about them much, but I loved the 3DS entry quite a bit too.
I really don't like time exclusive events with rewards exclusive to those events. For me, it feels like I'll be getting an incomplete game when you get it after even just one event.
I don't know if these pokémon are exclusive to these events, but if so, I probably just won't bother with Pokopia even if it ever does get a discount on the eShop in the future. I don't want an incomplete experience.
I voted for Wesker, Salazar, and just because you told me not to (but also because he did make me laugh a bit because he's just stupid), Irving.
Also agreed with @Vyacheslav333 in saying that Morgan Lansdale, Jack Norman, and Rachel should be part of the group, but I guess the Revelations games don't count as mainline games.
NA and it's really not that close. I don't like the close-up of the EU cover, and the Japanese one has too many text boxes cluttering it. If it wasn't for all that text, Japan would've taken it.
I do want these, at least the Yoshi one, but the price iiiis a little high. Still not TOO bad though when you consider the typical price for an amiibo today.
@JamieDodger9016 Very much agreed, but they can include them both really. Keeping the new streamlined features, but also include the shops that used to handle things like the haircuts and dream stuff. If they want extra incentive, they can make it so that if you use these shops, you can unlock more things every time you do use those shops (maybe limiting that to once a day).
I really don't care much if it's like TotK, I just want it to be fun. Mainline Pokémon games have struggled to be very fun for me, to say the least. But these entries, so far, look like they could turn things around big time. Really hoping for it.
Loved to watch these as a kid. Wonder how many new watchers will wonder why Princess Toadstool has red hair. Or why she's called Toadstool to begin with. Or who Toadstool even is and where the heck Peach is.
I'll pass. Even if I did wasn't these things, I don't want to buy anything from a company that dabbled into AI. And they definitely did with their Christmas commercial.
Maybe I'll buy the figures second hand sometime. That way I won't be giving money to this company.
I've been seeing a lot of Pokopia on my timeline. I still won't get it on key card but I might dip digitally sometime down the line when (or if) it gets a big enough discount on the eShop.
You know what, it's rare to get a system update that adds anything anymore beyond stability, so I'll take it, even if most if not all of the update isn't really significant.
I've tried one of the Meat Boy games on Switch and I can say it's not really for me.
I enjoy a good platformer, and Celeste in particular is one of my favorite games of all time. But that's because it's more than just a platformer; or has beautiful pixel art, wonderful music, and a really nice story. I didn't really get any of that from my time with Super Meat Boy. I'm not a big fan of games with meme-y kind of visuals to begin with (for a lack of a better term, but sure how you'd call it). This game and Binding of Isaac in particular come to mind on that front. Nothing wrong with it; just not my cup of tea.
Good for the fans though of course, hope you all enjoy. 👏
Probably the next game I'm looking forward to buying. I quite enjoyed the 3DS entry. Coming from someone who otherwise never cares about Miis, but they're great in this one.
One of the best box arts ever already in my opinion- and I don't think that purely because Yoshi is front and center. I just genuinely love the art style and the way the box art looks in general. The only thing ruining it is the thing that plagues any and all Switch 2 physical games, the big red border on top. Outside of that, this is almost perfect.
I think the art itself could have been just a notch better if it included the book in the art itself somewhere, though I understand why they wouldn't. Having it in the game's logo would have been a good compromise though.
In any case, looking forward to adding this one on my shelf and popping the cart into my system! I hope this game sells well enough for them to keep making Yoshi games too.
