looking back its still a shame how butchered the online got in ult. i wish they expanded the for fun/for glory model instead of consolidating every mode you do into GSP, its a very vague metric where the high number doesnt feel like anything
Calling it Type 1 and Type 2 is kinda on the nose, but I like nintendos approach in games like acnh and splatoon 3 saying to just "pick your style". It's a subtle way for avatars stay open to interpretation, enough that their style mean what you want it to mean
@PipeGuy64Bit thats completely fair, even if all 6 games are still connected, 4-6 felt more like disconnected stories that didnt affect or reference each other, not to mention bloated mechanics since there we so many main characters to follow. but my theory is that theyre already kinda planning a soft reboot?
AA6 ending spoilers with apollo choosing to stay in khura'in i think theyre intentionally trying to reduce the amount of lawyers per game, so both apollo and phoenix can exclusively have their own AA games again and not have complex stories that have to merge with each other. but i could also be entirely wrong since they hinted at thalassa returning lol
if mixed media opens up the possibilities of spin offs id be interested. AA always has to have these grand, high stakes stories for every entry, part of me worries about the potential story creep of always raising the bar. given how AA6 ended id still love to see where we go from here
@Tendogamerxxx i more so think about generative AI and how poorly it gets used in games, and like a tool it can make or break something. i want it to reduce the labor in making games not replace the unique vision people have when creating them
AI has been helping us for years but ill still remain skeptical on devs that enter a field as creative as games and decide they dont want their artist/writer to create, cause generative AI can make the safe and trendy game for them
Even when it looks "good" I've never seen it used in a good name. Yes it can make development faster but it should only improve the technical side not replace the creative one (generative ai)
when it replaces real voice acting, writing, or art it just sounds like the devs don't have an actual vision for the game, why should I care about a game when the devs dont even wanna bother making it themselves
@MSaturn if the 3ds > new 3ds transition is anything to go by, maybe the buttons or general colors will be diff? something the 3d model and this 3d print couldnt consider
its hard to tell most nintendo sequel consoles apart tbh, especially with obnoxious titles like NEW 3ds and wii U
@bleeflooflah tbh i think the 2nd usb c port is so you can charge the switch while playing in tabletop mode. i remember doing that all the time with my wii u and being bugged when i couldnt do that with my switch haha
excited! i wonder how the splatfest theme will tie into the sequel since they never use the same idea twice for it. my prediction is the salmonoids will play a bigger part now that lil judd is taking over, and the splatfest theme will tie into them somehow
and team present, mainly for off the hook supremacy
its great to be at the point where MPs games seem to get better and better again, especially happy this is the most solo/online-friendly one too. its been hard to fully gather friends to play this locally
i knew updates slowed down on this game but it never crossed my mind itd eventually shut down, especially how successful it seemed. shame it never came to the philippines
an offline version does sound interesting, i think a lot of FTPs can have loads of content value under a one time purchase. probably the most graceful way this game could end
i wonder if that means they focused on NA advertising, or if the gameplay itself was influenced into what a NA audience likes? maybe that explains the battle royal style modes
wont lie that the battle mode is what keeps me coming back, still wish all the outfits were available for everyone, not just the main monkeys
i still dont forgive you guys for giving battle league a 9/10. i dont care how fun its one game mode is, for full price this is nintendos worst case of "online competitiveness" being its excuse for a lack of everything else. if you played the demo you played the whole game
@Samalik i get where youre coming from, staying true to the source material is exactly what people like about anime dubs/subs, and why dubs like 4kids pokemon get ridiculed (these jellyfilled donuts are amazing)
unfortunately the localization differences have been baked into the game since the beginning and i doubt they can change it now. GAA could get away with it as a spinoff that literally has to wear its culture on its sleeve
but its not all bad, ive come to embrace the silly japanifornia world theyve come up with and the team still does a great job on the translation. and at this point names like phoenix wright hold so much more weight to me than ryuichi naruhodo
@Tyranexx not necessary at all! AAI takes place during the original trilogy era, but even then AAI intentionally avoids mentioning events from it
you may see some returning side characters but you can still enjoy the game not knowing them, we dont even hear anyone say the name phoenix wright at all haha
i commend the fact they intentionally avoided the fan translation so they could keep to their own influence, i imagine any AA fan would be curious to see it especially the devs
tho in my heart it still hurts to loose sebasitian debeste, that name sounds so loud and grand for a dork like him i love it
funny how this game already has so many fail safes for glitches too. i personally think half the fun of watching speedruns is pushing the boundaries of beyond what the game thinks is possible, but i dont blame nintendo for discouraging that in their official speedrun game. theres a reason categories are already separated from glitchless and glitched runs
didnt cross my mind this game would even get a roadmap, the game felt complete enough as is. but battle mode could use all the help it needs given i dont think its that popular
ill look forward to it. ive actually been playing more battles lately since those are less stressful. but ill never be convinced to buy those characters at those prices
im never proud of my gamer rage moments but as someone who occasionally gets mad at splatoon, never underestimate the power of pulling back and just telling yourself its just a game
it sounds shallow but its important to remember how little is actually at stake. a rank grade doesnt matter, we're not professional players with anything to lose
i really want nintendo to be more open to its competitive community cause people who dedicate that much time to your game and its competition is worth supporting, but i also hate how theyve been proving themselves right in distancing itself from them
Cool if you keep multiple joycon around for use i guess? Would've preferred if they kept the grips just for the sake of comfort if you wanna play em while its charging, this feels niche enough as is
@-wc- so glad to hear someone say this, these kinda games already focus so much beating bite sized challenges in seconds. its would fit so well in the warioware format. heck mix it in with online and you could have youre own NES version of warioware 99
ngl theres just a pinch of disappointment this isnt a flat out new horror game with a nintendo-spin i was expecting. did anyone else thing the game was gonna be in 3d given the teaser? made me think it'd go any other direction than a VN
that said i do love me a good VN, hard to say it ill check it out but i hope it sells well for fans
I'm really loving this game, even with the battle mode issues I still love playing them as a way to wind down from the fun, stressful adventure challenges
One minor thing I still want is fully customizing the unlockable characters. So lame we can't change them in any way I want the lamb to wear a hat
These are, a lot of good changes? The fact they're acknowledging brellas canopy issue and explained it with this much care is something I thought I'd never see
They even addressed little issues I thought were too silly to fix, like sending the wrong signals after you get splatted/revived lol
its just unfair how great off the hook are, having the best arc and stories of the whole franchise. tbh i was hoping 3's dlc would flesh out deep cut the same way octo expansion did for off the hook, but it just made me love the latter idol group even more lol
ive had my rough patches with this game but ive still really enjoyed it. having online is such a powerful value even if its just the 8 sports now, the perfect awkward middle child of the franchise
im still surprised by this tbh, normally nintendos a lot more transparent about post launch dlc. this mustve started development well after launch
"fans can still make stuff just dont share it online" do people not realize how ridiculous that statement is? like have you ever spent any time in any community? should all gaming creators/streamers just stop? what
fine enough value with the retro games, but i buy NSO for the online. it still stings knowing theres no actual improvements to the online from what we can tell, and it makes me wish there was an even cheaper tier that was just the online strictly
or idk keep the online free and have the game subscription be a separate thing, but that would drastically lower its value for a lot of people
i think it'd be a fun idea, it already sounds like a non intrusive way of adding a new gimmick to a controller. i can imagine L/R being replaced with with clickable scroll wheels, and ZL/ZR possiblyyyy with analog now?
its such a cynical take to say you just skip to only doing original art, coming from people that arent even creatives. as if they dont wanna talk about how undertales creator started off with an earthbound mod, or how any creator in general starts off with fan creations
this wasnt some devious ploy that was even earning money. it was created by fans for fans, people who have supported RH in the past because why else would you want a RH maker. and i have no reason to be happy its gone while people who didnt even know it existed shame fans for it. its a fantastic project
exciting knowing he could be starting work on his next game soon, other than sequels its honestly a wildcard what new IPs he could try next. ultimate deluxe is a safe choice for the next gen switch, it feels too valuable of a game to start from scratch rn
@Not_Soos i would love that! but would wonder how more AC fighters would play, given villager and isabelle already cover a lot of items and tools used in the game
realistically i can imagine they go with the bower jr route and have the isabelle alts be diff NPCs from the game, heck digby is already her twin and could work as an easy reskin too
amiibo was one of the best ways they took advantage of the toys-to-life boom. im glad we're at the balance where theyre just quality figures with insignificant game bonuses, otherwise it'd just be dlc thats obnoxious to obtain
tho is this something i respect more from a distance, only having less than 10 amiibos overall but dozens of AC cards. would love to see more just for the appeal of supporting a series more beyond just the games
ill always be excited for more cotl, but just a lil bummed the coop is local only. i just dont have people around to play this with, will still look forward for the new set of content! i lose hours whenever i play this
more options the better, but i feel 1st party games can get away with doing this less? since their games are made for the hardware specifically, chances are theyre running the best they can already
but given the 30fps ttyd controversy, im sure some people would appreciate it. im more conscious toggling quality options on pc games since you gotta make it fit your hardware
its weird, nintendo is kinda like the iphone of consoles. they have less options to tinker with cause they already cater the experience in a way thats easy to understand. more options probably wouldnt upset people cause they wouldnt be touching it in the first place
i still dream of the day streepass comes back. it could debatably be easier than ever with people bringing their switches around. heck make so all you need to carry is one joycon to get streepass hits
tho i do love is more as this forbidden fruit, the most streetpasses i got in one day was 3, playing the games mainly through playcoins. i miss the 3ds era where owning the device itself was enough of its own game
