Really excited to give this a go at some point down the road @olliemar28! Although, I still have the GC RE Remake on my backlog (I'm not proud of it, okay!) that maybe I should tackle first haha
With Castlevania being in the spotlight thanks to the anime, I have high hopes we'll see more of the series soon! Hopefully it just doesn't take the form of more slot machines though...
@garfreek Thanks for pointing that out! I replayed the Switch remake a few weeks ago and didn't realize you could equip clothing to your other party member! π Appreciate the kind words about the review too! I really hope everyone loves this game!
@link3710 I seriously did! I haven't stopped thinking about it since I put it down, but I'll be going back to wrap up my leftover side quests soon! π
@kkslider5552000 You're absolutely right, it does feel like a missed opportunity to not release both of these as a physical pack here in the west. Especially given the fact both games release at the same time.
Maybe we'll get a physical edition down the road like we did for Cadence Hyrule Crypt of the I'm not writing out this game's full title...
Maybe times have changed, but a physical manual was a way you could continue to learn about a game's world when you weren't play the game. I have many fond memories of reading about Golden Sun and Pokemon during study hall in middle school! Some artwork was exclusively found in manuals too!
Digital Manuals are great for the environment, but it feels like so few companies put in the effort to make them anything special. I find myself every so often wishing I had a manual to glance at for newer games, but I suppose we do have the internet I can ask for help too...
@sonicbooming I've been switching between handheld mode playing with standard Joy Con and between docked mode with the Pro Controller and I can't honestly say which is a better experience for combat! Once you get used to one or the other, it's smooth sailing, kinda haha!
I really hope Ghost Trick gets a rerelease someday @KateGray! I played it briefly back in the day and have been kicking myself for never picking it up when it was cheap
@BoFis @drewber2635 The way the package was taped together should have been a telling sign for me, but the excitement I had finding this out in the wild overrode my brain and I just really should have known better.
Plus, the seller could have genuinely been honest, maybe they were the ones who were had! But thankfully now that it's been opened, no one has to be swindled again by this Game Boys tricks.
@GrailUK @cf5 @Rohanrocks88 Appreciate it! It's really quite alright though. I've been bracing myself to be disappointed by it for a while, but still had a shard of hope left in me that it'd be brand spanking new inside! Sadly that wasn't the case but I'm glad I was able to share the experience with you all!
Even though this never came to be, it's great to hear Bryan share these little bits of history for all of us rabbid (thanks Ubisoft) Scott Pilgrim fans!
Part of the reason I was excited to pre-order and pick up Super Mario 3D All-Stars was for the pin set, but then they ran out before I had the chance to get them. Now they're bringing out another set for a different game? I feel bamboozled.
@Tourtus From the chat we had with Jon, it seemed the partnership gave them more insight into how they could modify their existing chairs for the gamer π Thanks for pointing out that error too!
For anyone curious, our original preview was hands-off, (which we stated in the preview) we only sat in on a live-streamed demo and a chat with the developers. At the time, I was optimistic, and the fact that I'm not a 7-12 year old kid meant I had to try to relax my expectations a bit.
So for the preview, I gave my honest thoughts, hopes, and explained the gameplay to the best of my ability. It's a real shame the game turned out as it did, but understand our preview was purely that, a preview.

Re: Video: Join Us As We Celebrate 'The MOTHER We Share: Our EarthBound Story'
@Domino It's only really fair to say as it isn't the best introduction to the series. A fun game to play afterwards I'd say, but I feel your pain!
Thank you all so much for giving the video a watch! Your kind words truly give us energy <3
