@CrazedCavalier I think this comment is a good explanation as to why Fates was, is, and always will be the worst Fire Emblem game. It doesn't matter that Conquest has phenomenal gameplay if the game went out of its way to make the cast insufferable.
Also, I already saw your comments on Echoes, but unless you're a map geek, I can safely say that game was a solid remake.
@valharian on the contrary, Fire Emblem Heroes made me glad Tour got rid of the gacha. It's so hard trying to get anyone you even remotely like in that game, even if you're a die-hard fan.
Honestly, at this point, the only titles I want them to localized are FE4 and Mother 3. I've heard way too many negative comments on FE3/12 (the existence of Kris and the FE1/11 slander), FE5 (the jank), and FE6 (Roy being awful and the story being wack), and no other Japanese title interests me--not even the Frog game, despite the impact it had on Links Awakening.
So I put down WL4, but I've finished with that now and am now considering whether I should blaze through Zero Mission, Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion in that order, or finally beat Majora's Mask.
I honestly find it insulting that this list has Mother 3 but not Fire Emblem: the Binding Blade. If you're gonna include Japanese-only releases, go all the way; otherwise, don't bother.
Played this on Rare Replay, and it's probably the weakest Killer Instinct. Still good, mind you, but the N64 was not built for fighting games, and it shows.
I honestly don't care. To me, Animal Crossing is on the weaker end of Nintendo franchises, and even if I did care, Wild World and New Leaf are far more appealing than New Horizons will ever be.
@Tasuki 8 Deluxe allows for custom items, so you have the option to make it more skill based with mushrooms and bananas only, or. . .y'know. . .Blue Shell only on Baby Park.
Crazy how these games sell tens of millions, yet still go for outrageous prices on the used market. The Pokemon fanbase is disgusting, and nostalgia is a drug.
I mean, I guess the app now has a version of the WSR theme, but. . .outside of Wario Shipyard (for now) and 3DS Rainbow Road, most of the songs in the game are either mid or have better versions in 8 Deluxe.
Fact: if you've played a Fire Emblem on Switch or selected the series as your preference, this app will give you a day to day history of the series, including the Japan-only games.
I was wondering what I would do once I finished Shadow Dragon DS, since I'm not getting my next FE (Shadows of Valentia) until I've saved for the Switch 2. Turns out Nintendo had my back.

@shoeses this exactly. The Switch 2 will prove its worth in time.

@Teksette oh, boy, I can't wait for the definitive remake, Splatoon Echoes: Shadows of Splatsville.

Re: Opinion: Splatoon Brought Me Back To Online Multiplayer, But Octo Valley Shines Brightest
This one thing is something most F2P shooters will never have.
Re: Feature: Donkey Kong Country 'Mine Cart Madness' Helped Me Face My Fear Of Roller Coasters
Dude, that looks insane. I wish they had worked on this earlier so we could've gone last year.
Also, quick question: does Cranky insult you while you're waiting for the ride?
Re: Review: SoulCalibur II (GameCube) - One Of The Best Fighters Ever, Playable Oh-So-Soon On Switch 2
@awp69 it's not artificial. The Switch 1's CPU click speed is too low. There's a reason every GCN game on Switch 1 is a port or remake.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th May)
Bit of an odd combo of Super Princess Peach and Super Metroid.
Re: Feature: Universal Won't Say Anything About A Zelda Theme Park, But They Don't Have To
Everyone else: where's the Zelda park?
Me: where's my real-life Garreg Mach Monestary?

Re: Random: Marilyn Before Mario? That Time Nintendo Went A Bit Playboy
Not quite as scandalous as the love hotel story, though. . .

@valharian on the contrary, Fire Emblem Heroes made me glad Tour got rid of the gacha. It's so hard trying to get anyone you even remotely like in that game, even if you're a die-hard fan.
Re: "This Is It!" - Nintendo On Why It Added 'Cow' Into Mario Kart World
@Joeynator3000 it's possible that the RPG characters require licensing from Squeenix, Int Sys, or Acquire.
Re: Random: Do You Recognise This Obscure Nintendo Console From The Switch Online Icons?
Even as someone who is constantly trying to learn the history of videogames, even I didn't know this existed.

Dale, Jr., instead of Danica Patrick?
Re: Random: Unluckiest Gaming Moment Of The Year? Smash Bros. Final Ends With A Tree Glitch
And that why Ultimate is better.
In all seriousness, though, that's actually unfortunate. This is what happens when you try to develop a game in a mere 13 months.

Re: Fight Fans Rejoice, 8BitDo Is Launching A New Arcade Controller For The Switch
BET. Can't wait to binge Street Fighter and Fatal Fury/King of Fighters with this.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game
Played this on Rare Replay, and it's probably the weakest Killer Instinct. Still good, mind you, but the N64 was not built for fighting games, and it shows.
And this is coming from someone who loves SSB64.
Re: Talking Point: How Can The Next Animal Crossing Improve Crafting?
I honestly don't care. To me, Animal Crossing is on the weaker end of Nintendo franchises, and even if I did care, Wild World and New Leaf are far more appealing than New Horizons will ever be.
Re: Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter 6 Collaboration Announced
@Tasuki ah.
Even more proof as to why it was the way it was, honestly.

@kkslider5552000 I always wondered why V was the only Street Fighter that never came to a Nintendo platform. . .until I saw its reception.
Re: Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation
@NintendoSux none of this changes the fact that piracy is wrong and illegal. It doesn't matter if you can get away with it; it's still wrong.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Is Now The Second-Best Selling Game In The Series

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd May)
Gonna try and finish FE11, then fully move on to FE8.
Re: Louvre Says Au Revoir To Nintendo 3DS Audio Guides
Get ready for those insane collector prices on eBay.
Re: PSA: You Can Still Play One Game Across Two Switches, But Not Online Anymore
I wasn't able to do that with Splatoon 2 BEFORE the update. Besides, this is why used physical games and split screen exist.
Re: Mario Kart's 3DS Album Races Onto Nintendo Music, Here's Every Song Included
. . .wut?
I mean, I guess the app now has a version of the WSR theme, but. . .outside of Wario Shipyard (for now) and 3DS Rainbow Road, most of the songs in the game are either mid or have better versions in 8 Deluxe.
Re: UK Charts: Surprise! It's Another Sleepy Week For Nintendo
I actually heard E33 was really good, like, GOTY good.
Re: Feature: Fire Emblem Narratives, Ranked – Which Fire Emblem Has The Best Story?
Lol Shadow Dragon had a better story than Fates. Even Heroes had a better story.
Re: Poll: After One Month, How Often Are You Actually Using 'Nintendo Today'?
Fact: if you've played a Fire Emblem on Switch or selected the series as your preference, this app will give you a day to day history of the series, including the Japan-only games.
That alone made me revisit this app.

This is great, but I'm not spoiling myself on this until I've played all the others.
Pray for my soul 😰.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With A Classic Fire Emblem
@Rooty no joke, I recently played an Arena match in Heroes where three of my opponent's picks were variants of L'Arachel.
