Between this and my recently acquired copies of Wario Land 1 and Kid Icarus Uprising, I'm finally stepping out of my comfort zone this year when it comes to Nintendo. Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary box, here I come!
I'm not worried at all. All of this will subsidize in due time, and we will all be better for it. Besides, Nintendo needs incentive to make better quality products.
@NintendoArchive you're telling me. MK64 has a higher ranking than MK7, Kirby Star Allies is the lowest mainline Kirby (it should not be below Pinball Land, Canvas Curse, or even Dream Land 1 and 2, let alone under half the Kirby list), and Fire Emblem Fates has a score of 8.3. I think nostalgia is getting the better of some people (though I have no explanation for Fates other than good gameplay).
I'm actually playing through the first game, but I think it might be over praised. It's definitely good, and I can see why many still cherish it, but man, some of those secrets are Dream Land 2 levels of maddening, and unless I'm using the jetpack or constantly dashing, Wario moves at a snails pace. I unironically still like it more than SMB3 and Yoshi's Island, and I do also think it's a little better than Mario Land 2, but chances are high that this will be my least favorite Wario Land (still very good, though).
@Neckcrane funny thing, something similar happened to me when I got Lego Star Wars III: the Clone Wars instead of the Complete Saga, yet to this day, I've always preferred Clone Wars over Complete Saga (which is actually how I feel about the actual show in comparison to the original trilogy, even though those movies are still top notch).
@tweaknmod I've seen some playthroughs on it and understand the gist of what it offers. I'm saying a run through of the N64 original with all 24 masks (which is what I'm going to attempt for both versions) is a good idea to do once in your life.
@PepperMintRex what you on about? Magoland is insanely fun for multiplayer, and it actually gave me a reason to play the sub games more than once. Not to mention the picks were incredible (Checkerboard Chase HD. Aw yeah.).
Without a doubt, one of the worst in the series, down there with Pinball Land and Drum Dash Deluxe. The fact that this was the only Kirby game on Wii U shows that HAL saw the writing on the wall for the console before anyone else did.
@GamerJunkie 10 years later, no one likes this game. I'm a Nintendo fan until the end, but that doesn't mean I won't be brutally critical of games that deserve far lower scores.
@cvrator I understand that. I love gaming history, and I give credit where credit is due, but that doesn't mean I have to unwillingly love and cherish every game I play, old or new. I know the importance of LTTP, and it may have been a 10/10 game in 1992, but when weighed against the rest of the franchise, it's not one of my favorites to go back to. Keep in mind, this is from someone who still has Super Mario World in their top 30 games of all time (which is a high bar, given how many I've played).

Re: Hands On: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - A Decade On, Mira's Still Got It
@RadioHedgeFund technically Forza DOES do that, since rewinding cuts your pay each time you use it in a race.

Re: Not Even Squaresoft Could Convince Nintendo To Use Discs For The N64
Cartridges/cards age better, anyway.
Re: Nintendo Music's Latest Update Adds 3DS 'SteetPass Mii Plaza' Soundtrack
@Zeebor15 no, that would be Tomodachi Collection DS. Since then, we have also gotten Wind Waker, Nintendogs, and Wii Sports.
Re: Nintendo Music's Latest Update Adds 3DS 'SteetPass Mii Plaza' Soundtrack
@Dev-N Smash 4 had some crappy remixes, but Save the World, Heroes and Dark Lord were among the best.
Re: Nintendo Music's Latest Update Adds 3DS 'SteetPass Mii Plaza' Soundtrack
WHAT THE--
Listen. To. The. Find. Mii. Tracks. NOW.

Re: Best Wario Games Of All Time
Also, pretty sure Wario Land II should be one entry.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th February)
I'm actually playing the first Wario Land, which I bought before the WL4 announcement but didn't come until this week.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Wants Nintendo To Reboot Virtual Console For Switch 2
On one hand, NSO enabled me to play through many of Nintendo's finest games in a way Virtual Console probably wouldn't have.
On the other, though, you know you have a problem with your service when a higher up wants something back.
Re: Poll: 10 Years On, Which Version Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Best?
@tweaknmod I've seen some playthroughs on it and understand the gist of what it offers. I'm saying a run through of the N64 original with all 24 masks (which is what I'm going to attempt for both versions) is a good idea to do once in your life.
Re: Poll: 10 Years On, Which Version Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Best?
@internauta I find it funny that the most faithful Nintendo remake of all time is of their most praised game of all time.
Don't fix what ain't broke, I guess.
Re: Poll: 10 Years On, Which Version Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Best?
Haven't played much of either, but here's my takeaway:
N64 version is worth 100%ing at least once in your life.
3DS version is what you play afterward when you want some Majora but don't want the extreme frustration.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Adds Characters From "SEGA Universes"
@Mz3player they should at least include "Super Sonic Racing" as an available song.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Adds Characters From "SEGA Universes"
Screw you for making me want this as a Transformed fan, SEGA.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Trailer Released During Sony's 'State Of Play'
@N00BiSH oh, I'm well aware of that, but I did enjoy Transformed a lot, so I'll be looking out for this.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Trailer Released During Sony's 'State Of Play'
Seems like Nintendo needs to up their ante with the next Mariokart. . .and perhaps a new Fzero.
Re: Best Mario Sports Games Of All Time
Only ones I've played are the ones on Switch Online and Battle League, and I did not care about ANY of them.
Also, pretty sure Hoops 3 on 3 should be #1.
Sigh, why even bother with any of the others when Wii Sports Resort exists.
Re: Rumour: Kirby: Planet Robobot Will Indeed Come To Switch, It's Claimed
@andyg1412 Forgotten Land sold more than Metroid Dread, dude. This game in particular far exceeded the 1 million mark in its runtime.
Re: Rumour: Kirby: Planet Robobot Will Indeed Come To Switch, It's Claimed
@PepperMintRex what you on about? Magoland is insanely fun for multiplayer, and it actually gave me a reason to play the sub games more than once. Not to mention the picks were incredible (Checkerboard Chase HD. Aw yeah.).
Re: Rumour: Kirby: Planet Robobot Will Indeed Come To Switch, It's Claimed
By the proclamation of the Haltmann Works Company, I command you to pick this game up.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds Golden Sun Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
That's a deep cut. . .
. . .and a reminder that I really need to catch up so I can play these (currently on stupid Yoshis Story).
Re: Talking Point: Where Should 'Luigi's Mansion 4' Take Place?
@spacely_sprockets one can only dream. . .
Re: Review: Paper Mario: Color Splash (Wii U)
9 years and a TTYD remake later, I don't think we will ever see this game again.
Re: Talking Point: Where Should 'Luigi's Mansion 4' Take Place?
@Ironcore LM3 isn't THAT crusty, dude.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th February)
Taking a break from Zelda and beating some games I started months ago (or over a year ago, on Superstar Saga's case).
Re: Opinion: Miiverse Was Fine, But Does Anybody Really Want It Back In 2025?

Re: Review: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (Wii U)
Without a doubt, one of the worst in the series, down there with Pinball Land and Drum Dash Deluxe. The fact that this was the only Kirby game on Wii U shows that HAL saw the writing on the wall for the console before anyone else did.
Re: Review: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (Wii U)
@GamerJunkie 10 years later, no one likes this game. I'm a Nintendo fan until the end, but that doesn't mean I won't be brutally critical of games that deserve far lower scores.
Re: Review: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (Wii U)
@RainbowGazelle 10 years later, that's how the entire fanbase views this game. Mass Attack was an infinitely better use of the touchscreen.
Re: Zelda Dev "Wasn't Too Pleased" About Working On 'A Link To The Past'

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Digital File Size Seemingly Reduced
@the_beaver so basically just like Splatoon.
Re: Switch Is Getting A New Manga Reader This March
"CoroCoro"
CoroCoro Splat Roller for S3 confirmed?
Re: Review: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (Wii U eShop / DS)
That fact that people called this their least favorite is enough to tell me that this came out before Fates, Heroes, the original, and Engage.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (DS)
All those complaints about not including the Gaiden chapters, only for Echoes of Valentia to be released 8 years later.
Re: Zelda Dev "Wasn't Too Pleased" About Working On 'A Link To The Past'
If I'm being honest, Links Awakening and A Link Between Worlds were better, anyway.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds Classic Super Mario SNES Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
@Weeze86 nah, they should just straight up put all versions of Masked Dedede on there.
Re: Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games - Every First-Party Title To Pass One Million Sales

Better than Mario 3. Just like the game itself.

Re: Mysterious Patent Hints At "Predictive Input" For Nintendo Switch 2
They took those complaints personally.
Re: Nintendo's Punch-Out!! Series May Be Dead And Buried For Good
@Turbo857 I agreed until you said P Diddy. After what happened, putting him in anything would result in more backlash than Concord.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss On Switch 2's Name: Nintendo Created So Much "Brand Value"
@Coalescence I think they'll still be an outlier in the crowd. It was always about the games, anyway.
