@Scapetti different kingdoms then, but the point is still the same. It wouldn't be spoonfeeding, it would be just a bit of (necessary in my opinion) context.
@Scapetti the question is how did he get a crush on her? They live in differeny worlds, how does he even know her? Did they meet at some intergalactic summit?
@AstroTheGamosian "I felt like the animation and music were unmatched, but the plot and character development were incredibly lacking, and the pacing was way too fast. And there was very little motivation from Bowser as to why he wanted to marry Princess Peach."
I just wanted to quote this, as it's exactly my opinion. Actually I'm not even bothered about the plot, it could still have been a great film, but there is not depth in the characters, dialogue is boring 90% of the time, everything keeps moving too quickly from one place/character to another etc..
Having said that, the soundtrack is brilliant and I still listen to it every single day.
@Anti-Matter when they released the first Dual Shock, to me it felt really inferior to the N64 controller as the analog sticks were more difficult to reach and use properly. They also occasionally got in the way while trying to press other buttons. 4 generations later, I still consider Dual Sense the worst (official) controller of the current generation.
I totally agree about Wizpig. It was so frustrating that I just stopped trying and never saw the rest of the game, which is a shame because I was loving it.
Also the final boss in DK64, annoying, frustrating and too long. Never finished that either.
@datamonkey it was from Very, £329 with Pokemon Scarlet & Violet which I sold to Cex for £80 cash, and 20% discount for new customers. I constantly check hotukdeals, the best offers are always there.
I don't like the art style of this, looks too cutesy and washed out. Also it's missing the shotting machine. Co-op should be fun but this game really needs to be online!
Unrelated to this, but I would love to see a 2D Mario game using the art style of the old game covers/booklets etc. just like the one above! it would look brilliant in HD.
Would love to see this on NSO at some point, and the SNES ones too! but my expectations are extremely low, especially with Super Bomberman R 2 coming soon.
I completely disagree on Mario Circuit 3. It's a proper racing track where driving actually matters, and it has the most iconic Mario Kart music. It's graphically disappointing even by Booster Pack standards but the track itself is great.
@BusterMove totally agree. It's one of the few, if not the only Mario Kart that is actually a proper racing game. The others are more like party games built around racing.
Just to put things into context, F-Zero was the 15th best-selling game on SNES, which isn't bad. X and GX sold less but N64 and GC had a smaller install base.
I think a new F-Zero, if properly made and well advertised would easily sell a few million copies.

Great interview. Now we want more of those!
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 5 Arrives Next Week
The Rome track is pretty good, I was hoping to see it here... fingers crossed for the last wave.
Re: Feature: From Bon Jovi To Banjo - Grant Kirkhope On The "Complete Fluke" Of His Rare Musical Journey
@Uncle_Franklin agreed. Also this was only posted last night and it's already buried under lots of uninteresting news.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Sonic Superstars Are In
My only concern is about the music, I've read from someone who tried the demo that the music is the only disappointing part.

Re: Horizon Chase Turbo Dev Aquiris Joins Epic Games To Work On Fortnite
Very sad news.
Re: Super Bomberman R 2 Explodes Onto Switch This September
@dazzleshell the problem is that it would show how much better the old games were, compared to the recent ones. I don't expect it any time soon.

Re: Nintendo Switch Successor Chip Rumours Are Doing The Rounds Again
@Jalex__64 that sounds great in theory, but would it be economically viable? Would they have to increase the price to PS5/XSX levels?
Re: Hands On: Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! - A Warm, Cuddly Return (Except For The Space Invaders)
I have to say I really dislike the flat and washed out colouring style that is so trendy these days.

Re: SEGA Mega Drive Control Pad For Switch Is Back In Stock On My Nintendo Store (UK)
£40 for this feels like daylight robbery.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 Launches Next Week
quite happy about Singapore and Bangkok! but overall it feels like a relatively weak wave compared to the others.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe And Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Cross Major Sales Milestones
At this rate we will never get Mario Kart 9...

They were supposed to become the new Rare :/
Re: Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! Will Get Popping On Switch This May
Hmm online multiplayer might convince me to buy it.
Re: Talking Point: What Is The Most Frustrated You've Ever Been With A Video Game?

Also the final boss in DK64, annoying, frustrating and too long. Never finished that either.
Re: Back Page: How Many Eyes Does Sonic Really Have?
on a separate note, does Eggman's name count as body shaming?

Re: The Nintendo Switch Was One Of The Top Black Friday Purchases This Year
@datamonkey it was from Very, £329 with Pokemon Scarlet & Violet which I sold to Cex for £80 cash, and 20% discount for new customers. I constantly check hotukdeals, the best offers are always there.
Re: The Nintendo Switch Was One Of The Top Black Friday Purchases This Year
I don't like the principle of black Friday, but I couldn't ignore the opportunity to get a Switch OLED for £187
Re: Feature: "We Received Many Requests To Bring Back The Puzzle Bobble Series"
I don't like the art style of this, looks too cutesy and washed out. Also it's missing the shotting machine. Co-op should be fun but this game really needs to be online!
Re: Video: The Wii Is Now Old Enough To Drive
This makes me really sad. I remember the hype and trepidation for the Revolution as if it was yesterday 😕
Re: This Upcoming Super Mario Bros. 3 Mod Adds New Playable Characters, Wall Jumps And More
Unrelated to this, but I would love to see a 2D Mario game using the art style of the old game covers/booklets etc. just like the one above! it would look brilliant in HD.
Re: Sega Wants To Know What Mini Console Fans Would Like To See Next
a wheel that can be connected directly to the tv and includes Virtua Racing, Daytona, Sega Rally, Scud Race and their other arcade racing games.

@mereel finally! Maybe it's time to get into it again.

Kalimari Desert by far. I also love all the ways people misspell it 😂
Re: Video: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Wave 2 DLC Reveal - Here's What We Thought

Re: Random: This Fan's Enormous Nintendo Collection Makes All Others Look Tiny
@peachflavored I was about to post the exact same comment!
Re: Best Mario Kart Games Of All Time
@BusterMove totally agree. It's one of the few, if not the only Mario Kart that is actually a proper racing game. The others are more like party games built around racing.
Re: Random: "Die-Hard Nintendo Fan" Reportedly Forked Out Over $40K To Ask For A New F-Zero
Just to put things into context, F-Zero was the 15th best-selling game on SNES, which isn't bad. X and GX sold less but N64 and GC had a smaller install base.
I think a new F-Zero, if properly made and well advertised would easily sell a few million copies.
Re: Monkey Island's Creator Seemingly Shuts Down Blog After Personal Attacks
I also dislike the art style, but I would never insult him or attack him personally. These people have some serious mental problems.
Re: Super Bomberman R 2 Coming To Switch In 2023
I was really hoping for a 90s collection :/
Still better than nothing I guess...
Re: Switch Online's N64 Update Is Live (Version 2.4.0), Here's What's Included
@YoshiAngemon I think that would be good enough!
Re: Switch Online's N64 Update Is Live (Version 2.4.0), Here's What's Included
does this fix F-Zero X? Haven't had a chance to check yet.
Re: Here's How Sonic 3's New Music In Sonic Origins Stacks Up To The Classics

Re: "Next-Gen" Anti-Grav Racer Redout 2 Delayed For Nintendo Switch (Again)
presumably the Switch version will be disappointing and overpriced like the first one anyway...
Re: New N64 Emulator Plugin Adds Ray Tracing, Widescreen, 60FPS (And More) To Classics Like Zelda & Paper Mario
Looks incredible. I would love to see Wave Race at 60 fps and in 16:9
Re: Rumour: Could We Be Getting New NES And SNES Games For Switch Online?
I would love to see Super Bomberman 1 or 2 but I guess Konami wouldn't want to cannibalise Super Bomberman R with a better game
Re: Switch Online's N64 Update Is Live (Version 2.3.0), Here's What's Included
No frame rate fix for F-zero X?
