@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.

Holy cow, how this list has changed in two years. It needs a republish.

sees Silksong fans putting on their clown makeup

Oh, this'll be good.

Funny how this update came in the middle of me trying out the game for the first time (I love it, BTW).

Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed

Rex is the ultimate gigachad.

I'll believe it when I see it. Save Gatling Pea's return in PVZ2, I've been disappointed by the handling of this franchise since BFN's release. The series peaked with 1 (console version), 2, and GW2.

Yeah, after just finishing Xenoblade 3 (with, you know, THAT photo), this statement ain't gonna cut it.

First off, Bananza in first is insane, and I'm genuinely intrigued by it now.

Second, DK'94 and DKC2 should be lower and DKC3 and DKJB should be higher. I found the former two heavily overrated by nostalgia (though both still have their merits) while I found the latter two actually quite fun.

@9_10DOH64 not counting DK'94, DK has ELEVEN 2D platformers in comparison to two 3D platformers. I think this is a fair trade-off.

9.1 currently. Wow. Just. . .wow.

I heard someone else returned. Someone VERY special.

I'll say no more.

Nintendo DID get their freak on. It's called Xenoblade 2 and 3.

"HANDLING A MAN'S TUR--"

You think you could've told us that earlier?

. . .that didn't take long.

@Anachronism to each their own, I guess.
