Re: Mario-Inspired 2D Platformer Secures A Switch 2 Release On Kickstarter

ancientlii

@RupeeClock thanks for the answer though I initially thought I heard of switch releases of games doing well and it probably paying off.

About the game. Comparing it to Mario confused me at first but I see animations and poses like Mario and Luigi series, and kind of sped up moves from 3d Mario. Are there rpg elements? I thought they were comparing it to super paper mario, I see it. Really got to see this game in motion.

Re: Rumour: New Leak May Explain Why So Many Switch 2 Physicals Are Game Key Cards

ancientlii

Is that why they price hiked? Btw did welcome tour have a physical.

You know as a late response to the switch eShop having a price floor of 2usd I noticed some bundles being sold to somewhat get around that. Hard to imagine that happening much for these switch 2 games though besides maybe sonic/sega since they've them before. I'm just thinking would they do a package deal of ff7r and bravely for a real physical release and charge more?

Re: GameStop Apparently Investigating New York Store Over Sus Switch 2 Bundle Sales

ancientlii

Come to think of it they might have done this to me with the first switch and I got mine a couple of months late. Said I couldn't order just the system and gave the choice of a mk bundle or 1 with botw, a season pass for it, and a carrying case and told me I could return what I didn't want to keep, which I didn't bother with. The case was nice enough. The stuff wasn't packaged in a way where they couldn't have just sold me the switch.

Side thing ain't it funky there was a season pass for botw so soon? Think Nintendo said it's cause they had a lot of ideas they couldn't get in in time but it ended up a pretty pricey expansion for essentially 1 dungeon and they made the extra expensive totk instead, I enjoyed them, but doesn't sound right.

Re: Exclusive: Mega Man X-Style Roguelite 'Elsie' Gets A Digital Soundtrack With Bonus Tracks

ancientlii

Was fun but when it bugs out or crashes I've lost multiple runs of progress, weird thing to bother me in a roguelite. It's not hard either, I rarely actually died, I'd say the power curve is in your favor, but bosses layer multiple attacks and I more try to erase them than anything. I haven't had much of a chance to play the other weapons, they don't seem good and don't get to use them outside of the initial unlock. It's fun it's fun, I don't want to discourage someone from playing it, but It needs a patch though.

Re: Random: Pokémon-Shaped Cheeto Auction Proves The World Has Gone Mad

ancientlii

It's forged! Take a bite to verify it's not homemade! Then again I suppose you could blend and remold 1.

Anyway I like the idea of the case but was thinking it's just dragon shaped, zard has a belly, twig arms, and a long neck right? There's also the wings, but i guess the tail is alright. Just mentioning cause I wonder how much the pokemon specific branding boosted it. Ptcgp has been popular too. Or cheetozard is a little funny.

Re: Don't Worry, Dragon Quest XII Is Still In Development

ancientlii

Currently enjoying 11s after finally getting over my fear of continuing my demo save file from 2019(I might be overleveled despite being able to avoid many encounters?). It's loooong but the story is wonderful, or atleast it has plenty of truly joyous moments. Get on it.

Re: Celeste Dev Makes "Difficult Decision" To Cancel New Game Earthblade

ancientlii

Really didn't like Celeste... Part of that could be cause I beat it in 1 sitting the day before smash came out, also I played slime-san a while before it which I enjoyed more and paid less for, but I did recently wonder if Celeste's super success was just lucky. I remembered cursing when I got a upgrade in the game because of how precisely they wanted me to do everything, there's 13 kind of spikes but enemies were nothing, I had to go ahead and kill myself after saving myself from dying a few times, I don't think it being cutesy and the main message work with all the death, a crow stops time and tells you you can air dash before you even reach the mountain, game tells you the strawberries are unimportant then ***** on you at the end for not getting enough. Guess the animated character portraits during dialog were cute.

Re: Inti Creates Plans To Announce "Several Titles" In 2025

ancientlii

I'm never satisfied with their games except for curse of the moon. Feel like they've always just been pumping them out. Hoping for a longer gunvolt burst or something that uses the weapon configuration system, and just a game with the empress in it cause it's such a cool design.

Re: Cult RPG Hit 'OFF' Makes Its Way To The Switch In 2025

ancientlii

Heard of it before, I'm surprised. Almost thought it was too old or niche. Looks like it came out in 2008.

Speaking of undertale I've been enjoying last command which has similar gameplay to it and just shapes and beats, kind of nier automata vibes. I think it's made by the same guy as rabiribi.

Re: 3D Print Of Rumoured 'Switch 2' Design Gives Us A Closer Look At OLED Size Comparison

ancientlii

Doubt, would be a odd lesson from people being confused by the Wii u for the switch 2 to look the same without looking closely.

That aside, less portable is kind of a bummer, dashes hopes of more vr experimentation, but I guess that'll give it more room for what it needs to play certain beefier games, even 1st and 2nd party ones since I hear and saw first hand that performance hasn't been perfect lately.

Bigger bummer! No bringing back Wii pointer controls.

Re: 'Gal Guardians: Servants Of The Dark' Brings More Castlevania Vibes To Switch In March 2025

ancientlii

@Serpenterror I recently played the original, you don't really explore and it sort of like a easy Megaman zero like and similar to their retro style bloodstained games. It was alright. I was aware of a sequel being made and was more interested in it before seeing this trailer cause the characters look they'd play the same. Edit: 1st trailer might have been better.

How do you do spoilers here?

Re: 'Nintendo Music' Is A New Mobile App Exclusive To Switch Online Members

ancientlii

Idk how to feel about this to be honest. Don't want it to be the exciting news about nso... Guess it kills my hopes that they won't paywall online play on the next system too. Decouple these services! Think it compromises the experience for some.

As for the music itself, yea, it's good to acknowledge their worth(edit: apparently without credit to the composer?) but now they're in this walled garden where it'll only be easy to listen to Nintendo video game music back to back instead of mixed with other songs, and they might be more aggressive about it going forward.
