For the 8th anniversary? Huh?

That aside, I loved this game, and I don't care who disagrees.

@DoomGuyBFG that's usually the case with most of the mainline games and a few of the spinoffs. Sometimes, though, the extras (or, in some cases, the entire game itself) can be pretty tough. Be prepared for tense muscles whenever you see something that says "True Arena".

As a resident Kirby fan, I usually don't care about difficulty unless it hurts the game design or actively feels unfair, which, for me, is uncommon.

What I do care about is when I could be rid of Miles McKenzie.

Also, I think it would be appropriate to include the Super Famicom version of Star Stacker, since that is available in the West thanks to NS. . .I mean Nintendo Classics.

Once again, I must ask why the absolutely terrible pinball game is ahead of Star Allies.

Also, Return to Dreamland Deluxe and Air Riders higher, please.

@SalvorHardin do they need it, though? They're 8-bit games. They'd look like this in 240p.

Pretty legendary pull right here.

Also, Of Myths And Monsters apparently never initially released in Japan, which is why it never gets referenced in anything.

I bought a copy on eBay less than 2 months ago, and. . .it really feels lackluster in comparison to New Leaf. It's still good, and better than New Horizons, but. . .eh. I think I'd even play Happy Home Designer over it.

I've never clicked on day one physical faster. This game will ensure that I keep my Switch 2 for the foreseeable future, even if everything else is lackluster, and I'm ok with that.

My personal picks:
Rhythm Boxing (though I prefer the sped-up Smash Bros rip)
Yoga
Hula Hoop (referred to as Super Hoop in Smash Bros and Hoop Dance in this app)
Step Plus/Advanced Step (one of my all-time favorite Nintendo songs. I am not even joking)
Skateboard Arena (Free Mode) (by far the most underrated of the bunch)

obviously, all of these are in Smash Bros, but that's just because Sakurai knew the good picks.

I've already expressed my opinions on this franchise multiple times on this site, but I do have a couple things to add:

1. I finally got the Wii version of Twilight Princess, so that and Majora's Mask 3D are all that stand between me and BOTW (I've decided to save FSA for a random later date).

2. Phantom Hourglass does not deserve a 7.9. Even with the Temple of the Ocean King, it was still a really solid entry with epic characters like Linebeck.

@Ralek85 oh, please, do not remind me. Even the old hats who saw the OT in theaters are annoying beyond belief.

Why would Samus say "the baby"? This takes place before Samus Returns.

Also, was Corruption really that annoying?

Yet another reason why I am glad I never bought a Wii U.

@PeterTomlan86 Polar Express also had some cringe-worthy motion capture and the annoying know-it-all kid. I'm obviously not knocking the movie down, as it is still one of my personal favorite Christmas films, but let's not pretend it was perfect, either.

@N00BiSH yeah, I can see that. Still, girl's got PIPES. I'm still in awe after that end credit song.

@JumpingJackson way to stomp all over our sense of joy and dopamine whenever this move is shown on screen.

@N00BiSH I want to disagree with this, but the more I think about it, you're kinda right. I think the biggest standouts for me were Kid Icarus Uprising, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I don't mind, though as long as they get the point across, especially when it produces epic memes like "I'm your mama?", "Haya Papaya", and "handling a man's turtle".

Also, Jenny Kidd as young Pauline was fine for me.

I'd rather see a remake of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

finally, a good Animal Crossing soundtrack.

Actually, its the best Animal Crossing soundtrack (yes, I've listened to all of them, even Happy Home Designer).

HA. GOT 'EM.

(Filler)

Cool.

So. . .can you do this for previous entries? Wild World 2 AM and New Leaf 7 PM would hot hard with this feature.

This isn't a franchise where framerate matters that much, but why are AC GCN and City Folk the only mainline entries that run at 60?

Never saw the point to this. When I got AC GCN last year, I didn't really care, and I didn't miss it in Wild World or New Leaf. It's a cool feature, but it's not practical in the slightest.

As someone who never grew up with Pokemon and whose only experience was that garbage 3DS F2P Rumble game, every new thing I hear about it makes me glad I made the decision to just completely write it out of my collecting habits (especially with those obscene prices).

I'm all for ownership and copyright (and I don't care if I get hate for that), but if this is what comes out of Steamboat Willie entering public domain, then give me more.

But seriously, where is Xenoblade?

ah, the first videogame I ever played.

I can still hear the bahs.

Playing the original Kirby Air Ride in preparation.

Also Get It Together, because I just got that.

Close enough. Welcome back, Machine Passage.

FYI, Mario and Wario does not have an entry in your database, NL. the link above takes you to the original Wario Land instead.

@nessisonett they did change the soundtrack. . .and in the style of Origami King, no less (that's a positive change, imo).

as someone who has yet to play this game, this is a sign.

@UndockedActionFemme dude, I'm still salty about that. I used to like Cracker Barrel.

@depwnz you should listen to Kid Icarus Uprising. Most of that game was Sakuraba's work.

Found Sparks of Hope Gold Edition for $15 on the eShop, so back to Kingdom Battle it is.

Ummm. . .interesting tagline. 🤨

@Dalamar that's ironic, considering Canvas Curse (and Rainbow Curse, by extension) is widely considered by the Kirby community to be one of the worst games in the franchise (a sentiment I myself share).

After doing everything except 10 of the Vol. 2 gacha figures, I can safely say that there was no low point in the DLC. It was completely fun from start to finish. The problem is that it could've been $15. I normally don't criticize cost, since that's subjective, but Kirby Fighters 2, which was its own game, released 5 years earlier for $20 and had more to offer. Again, I don't regret my purchase, especially after the crazy lore drops (which I won't spoil). I just think I could've saved some cash if the price was a bit more reasonable.

Gonna be honest, that headline is a little sus.

FORTY-FIVE MINUTES?!?!?

takes a second to recover

Too little, too late.

This game, in fact, does not blow.

Hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby

Too bad the game controls like molasses. I'm all for atmosphere, but only if the gameplay is also good, i.e. Link's Awakening, which came out the following year.

I will admit that the remake lost some of that atmosphere, though (as opposed to the Link's Awakening remake, which, imo, did not).

Yeesh. I only got their screen protector.

Need I remind that the OG DK arcade game is canonically just a cabinet on DK Island a la DK64?

Close enough. Welcome back, Soul Melter EX.

YAAS

Go listen to Plane Mission 1 and Glider Mission 1 from Resort right now. This is a demand.

I expect nothing.

Not because I don't want a celebration of any kind, but because going in with expectations at all is unwise. I'll let them surprise me.
