Re: Feature: A Look Back At Every Game Nintendo Life Scored 10/10 Over 20 Years

@swoose my personal favorites were Radiant Dawn and Shadows of Valentia, though Sacred Stones had some good stuff in there. I think the only actually bad release we've gotten in the West (key word being "West") is Fates.

And yeah, no Paper Mario or Advance Wars on this list is bizarre. I haven't played AW, and I've only played the first Paper Mario (yeah, I'm behind), but I've heard too many good things about both (outside of Sticker Star and Reboot Camp).

Re: Rhythm Heaven Groove's Price Is A Welcome Surprise

@Krisi this was back when game reviewers were starting to lose their credibility (they blindly gave Skyward Sword a 10/10 the previous year, and I say that as someone who has SSHD as my second favorite Zelda game). This is on top of the game selling late in the Wii's lifespan and getting lost in a sea of motion-controlled minigame compilations.

Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Would You Most Like To See Remade?

batmanbud2

Realistically, only the Oracle and DS games need remakes. The Oracle games would greatly benefit from LA 2019's enhancements, as well as less cryptic puzzles (I know the series is kinda like this, but those two took things way too far imo). As for the DS Zeldas. . .I think it's obvious. They need button/mouse controls and graphics closer to Wind Waker. Every other game is either fine as is, already has a remake. . .or is Adventure of Link, which will always belong in the trash.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

@N00BiSH @Vyacheslav333 ever hear of "so bad it's good" movies? The Bee Movie has one of the dumbest plots I've ever seen in anything, but no one who talk about the movie cares because of how off-the-walls bonkers the movie is. Is it so wrong to enjoy a movie for being fun and entertaining, regardless of what story is present?

Re: Anniversary: The Legend Of Zelda Turns 40 Today - How Did You First Play It?

batmanbud2

I never broke out of my Mario shell until I asked for the 2019 Link's Awakening remake for Christmas 2020. That game (which is still my 2nd favorite game of all time, btw) convinced me to not only try Zelda, but also Nintendo's other offerings.

As for the first game, it was alright. Maybe I'm just a filthy zoomer, but I definitely found more joy in almost every entry that came after.

Almost.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?

batmanbud2

Golf is by far the worst. No worth there at all.
I couldn't get into the mansion game. It just doesn't feel right.
3D Tetris and Teleroboxer were fine.
Pinball is pinball (plus, I actually liked the effects and the music, probably the best VB soundtrack).
Unsurprisingly, Wario is the best one. I might even like it more than the first Wario Land (which, by default, also means I like it WAY more than 2, 3, and MoD). Still not quite as good as 4 or Shake It, but it did help pave the way, so I'll give it a pass.

Re: 'Can You Use Labo VR Goggles For Virtual Boy Games On Switch?' & Other Nintendo Classics VB Questions Answered

batmanbud2

I've kept my Labo kits since I got them in 2020, since I didn't want get rid of a future piece of history. It did force me to take my old (non-OLED) Switch model out to use, but it works.

Another thing to add: if you got the cardboard VB headset, you can use that for VR games on Switch 2, such as the game that came with the original Labo VR headset, as well as Mario Odyssey, Captain Toad, BOTW, and Smash Ultimate, among a few third-party games.

Re: Review: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Wii)

@Slionr nowadays, I don't know a single person who feels this way. It's pretty much agreed on that the Tellius games have some of the best characters and music in the series, and a FAR better story than anything the GBA did.
