@Specters pretty much what killed any hype for marios voice. he sounds fine and im sure we'll hear more "mario" sounds, but he just sounds like chris in the trailers so what was the point lol
i had the original aqua blue model and new 3ds (isabelle/happy home designer) edition. i had to be selective with my upgrades and im very happy with the both i got
the first model still felt the most premium despite coming first, and the new 3ds was just a solid upgrade to definitively have the tech
still seems like such a bizarre request. this mainly caters to hardcore melee fans, cause any other fan would just play the newest game
but if you want melee hd with widescreen and online play, why would you want it to be under nintendo's awful online service? the one game with the strictest competitive gameplay? the reason people still play melee at all?
chances are if you want online melee youre already playing it under perfect PC conditions, with greater service than nintendo could ever offer
i love the rabbit mascot, i wish he could live on past nintendos early attempt at free to play. he's cameo'd in other games and is so expressive and charming as a nintendo fanboy, it'd be a shame for this to be his only main appearance
@Koda1000 wave 1 of the dlc is definitely only a nostalgia bonus not meant for pull in newcomers. so unless your curious about wii u era splatoon your best bet is waiting on wave 2 info to see if that pulls you in, which seems to be an actual new story side mode
if the game has taken 6 years to make while STILL using botws existing engine and assets, i can only imagine how fine tuned theyre attempting the make the gameplay and mechanics
i still believe it's a great game that's a bad sequel. If NH if your first entry it's content is more than enough to service you, but coming out from NL it's easier to see how much content they cut from NPCs, buildings, events, minigames and side modes, ect.
Didn't help how awful the update pacing was done too, it opened up the possibility for more seasonal updates that never came after the bare minimum
At the end of it's update life cycle the game finally felt complete, and for this feeling like an AC reboot this was still a fantastic one that felt like it was stopped too soon
a paper mario ttyd remake would be amazing. it would look gorgeous with the series new art direction, and they could refine the gameplay and balance even more cause this format never really got another chance after that
tbh in hindsight it is weird that the main character didnt get a talking animal partner but the villain side characters did. seems like a standard we're used to in media
im not opposed to $70 if the games content can back it up. theres countless games should be priced under the standard $60, so on the flipside whose to say a games quality cant be worth more than that?
not EVERY game should be $70 but i dont doubt TOTK could be a contender for that price. ill throw eggs once they start pricing mario tennis at $70
this came out at the right time for me before i had any other device to draw on. you'd be surprised the little community this game had with an online gallery. it really helped cultivate my love for drawing and is still a major factor in my life.
granted me and even kids have better devices and software for drawing now, and i supported with switch kickstarter out of respect. but there will always be a simplistic charm to this. also i wish this music was used outside the trailer its so catchy lol
man this game blows. mario sports on switch already do that thing where they add one new gimmick + online to justify cutting modes and content. this game gimmick is having less of everything
On the topic of miiverse I loved being able to draw posts as well as type them. They live on in splatoon and mario maker and it makes me wish more social media had a doodle feature, it's such a simple and novel idea
it was the system i grew up with as a kid and even without games it was the perfect toy for me to tinker with. i got hours just out of the camera and sound app. making my own stop motion videos and using it to play music
ar games and face raiders being fun distractions to show off the tech, streetpass just making passing by another 3ds owner fun, ambience and personality in every app. it was the most definitely handheld ive ever seen, i dont think nintendo will ever go as hard with it again
@ReaperMelia id say 2, its more of the same from 1 but with tightened up gameplay and new mechanics
as for 3's case it could be worth it? its got a bigger production and scope, easiest game in the franchise too but getting 5 stars is still a grind. you should probably check if you like 1 or 2 first before considering 3
love this series, glad it did well enough for a bigger scope retail pretense in 2018. id also love the series to come back on switch
tho i will say the first 2 games are especially hard to get high scores in, and missions can last so long the game can be hard to jump in and out of. not the most digestible game for everyone but still a standout title
@123akis id say yes! dual destinies is like a soft reboot more digestible for newcomers. you can get by without previous AA knowledge, tho i do recommend still playing the past games so returning characters and references have more impact. plus theyre still great games haha
this is admittedly one of the easier and weaker entries in the series but i still have a soft spot for it. it was the first entry i got to follow the news and excitement for. the pursuit theme is great idc what anyone says
oh we're finally at the reissue wave, the games cosmetics must be winding down now
ive enjoyed my time with the game but i do wish it came with more surprises. its massive popularity had me hoping for more sports and side modes, shame those datamines for dodgeball and jogging never led anywhere
@sixrings them doing a great job in the last dlc IS the one reason to someone takes a chance on the next, but im speaking as someone who's already a core fan. completely fair to hold off and wait on reviews if youre not that invested to begin with
@sixrings they knocked octo expansion out of the park so unless they suddenly drop the ball their 2nd expansion attempt ill hold out hope they know what their doing lol
its such a bizarre yet welcoming addition for both nostalgia, and preserving such an iconic location that not many people got to experience
for me this being paid isnt that big a deal to me when 2's dlc was priced similar and only had the new story, so i dont think this inkopolis skin inflated that price that much
3d mario has always had a premium standard, apart of them usually only have 1 per console the production keeps getting higher. ive just come to expect mario to take all the time it needs
discovering i was colorblind myself made me so happy to see color toggles becoming more common as time went on. puyo puyo was the only game where i really struggled to play but it never hampered my enjoyment of a game.
drawing on the other hand can be a struggle lol, i gotta rely on color wheels to know what certain colors are, and just trust that the colors i pick look good
honestly yeah, why DID tenta missiles come back when a seemingly healthier version of the special was otw? they couldve just had this special at launch instead
even kraken had the courtesy of being tweaked returning for 3, while tenta stayed its same unbalanced self
this sounds lovely, as amazing as NH is there was a sense of magic lost from the earlier games. transitioning from moving in to a preexisting community, to more decorating-focused gameplay. still great but diff enough to have reasons to replay NL
at least their honest about how bad their service is lol. whats so hard about committing to a rom upload schedule, they dont even want to tell us when they'll drip feed anymore
being able to relive Inkopolis Plaza is amazing, its such bizarre fan service but i love it
Im getting Team Order vibes from Side order too, so cool they reused an idea from the losing team. and taking place in Inkopolis Square, the devs are absolutely nailing the DLC and fan service
might be worth the extra charge? it still under the same engine so i can only imagine its even MORE content-packed than BOTW. we're already use to paying +$20 dlc for $60 games, if this extra $10 goes into a more meaty game it could be fine
the botw series proved itself worthy of the $70 price range for me personally, but should still be the exception and not the standard for nintendos case. not all their games are made equal, botw and odyssey are whole diff beasts
happy they can expand this concept to other consoles. granted MK Live pushed its concept as hard as it could so i dont think this follow up will do anything new to interest me, but im glad the PS market can have their own version of it
sumia originally, the extra screen time she got in the beginning pushed me more towards her
on another marriage, i really like henry and oliva. total opposite bonding to nurse a dog back to health, olivia wanting him to express his true emotions, and henry taking "frowning classes" just to spend time with her. henry later saying she taught him what a real smile was, good stuff from my fav characters
this franchise is such an enigma, i feel like it pops in and out of the news just to say how somethings in development and then disappears for a couple years again
dang i didnt expect it to be gone so fast. granted i deleted the game out of spite (losing) but it did have style and fun, and a learning curve i didnt stick around for
@Would_you_kindly oh thought it was at least making money back, musk is certainly trying too lol. I'm just surprised at how quickly he's made things worse
how do you bring a site down so bad, all he had to do was own it and make money. he tried to impress people so hard it ended up showing his incompetence
Sadly great gameplay wasn't enough to make this game soar, which get to an extent. FE has lately built the series on its characters and stories. To have such an engaging aspect toned down mustve been a turn off, especially to people who already had their fill on 3H
this game absolutely dropped the ball. its not even inherently bad gameplay, but it didnt evolve the series big enough to warrant so many cuts in content. it just expected online to keep it alive
its not like switch sports that have quick games that are easy to jump into. it tried to market itself competitively with none of the incentive to keep playing, or content to back it up
