Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time

@Lizardkingy being the first to do something shouldn't automatically give it bonus points, especially if other games did it better. I respect Mario 64, more than Mario 3, even, and I enjoy it a lot, but admittedly, Wonder is a better game for me.

@AshleyGamer64
1. Galaxy
2. 3D World + Bowsers Fury
3. Wonder
4. New DS (this is probably heavy bias, though)
5. World

It's also worth mentioning that the top two are in my top 5 Nintendo games of all time, currently, while the bottom 3 are still top 25 at least.

In what world is Mario Wii better than Mario 3D Land? Wii us one of the most boring platformers I've ever played. As for 3D Land, I would even put it above Sunshine. Sunshine really wasn't that great for me, either.

@DonutPie Climax is basically GP Legend with different (though still good) controls, different tracks, a better OST (with actual percussion and bass), and a track editor. It's on par with GP Legend.

You're not missing much with Maximum Velocity, though, outside a few of the songs.

@Steel76 the minis were fine, at least in the first Mario Vs. DK. I can't vouch for the following entries, but those levels in the GBA game (and its remake) were fine.

Tbh, though, I don't want another one of these. Nintendo has enough 2D platforming franchises as is, and I'd rather they put effort into a 6th Wario Land than something the community is just gonna bounce off of.

@DTFaux oh, I'm aware of that. Problem is, I don't we would've been much better off with Kamala. People voted for Trump because they were tired of the mess that was the Biden administration. This isn't even the first time this has happened in our country (look up the presidencies of Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan).

@Bluerangervegeta obviously I didn't do my research, but saying Game Pass still far exceed NSO is laughable. It's far more pricey, and the only reason I would get it is for Halo and Rare. Nothing else Game Pass has to offer ever appealed to me when I had it, not to mention it took up so much space (in comparison to the NSO apps, which are mere specks on a 256 GB SD card). What's worse is that any game on Game Pass is at far more risk of being removed than anything on NSO.

Re: Anniversary: HAL Laboratory Is 45 Years Old Today

And yet diehards treat their games like dirt.

Yes, Kirby is easy. Yes, Earthbound is extremely simplistic. And yes, Smash Bros was never that great for single player. But in each game this studio pumps out, I see a vision, a charming, cozy world, and a magical adventure so distinctly Nintendo, yet so different from their other outings. Out of all of Nintendos subdivisions, HAL has always been the most consistent, and they have my respect for that.

Re: Video: Let's Compare Xenoblade Chronicles X On Wii U And Switch

@Coalescence which would you rather have? Weather effects? Or all the changes made in the 3DS version, plus all content from both previous versions on one card?

Xenoblade 3D had stereoscopic 3D, a music player, and support for the Shulk Amiibo. Does that mean the Switch version, with remastered music, improved visuals, and an extra story, isn't definitive? Is Kirby RTDLD not definitive without Scope Shot?
