Re: Nintendo Music Updated To Version 1.0.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

boxyguy

and the drip feed continues. decade old games is one thing but when a music app has to span practically EVERY generation of nintendo hardware its gonna hit harder i feel

i enjoy the curated playlists for walking and sleeping tho. helpful when i dont wanna worry about songs or lyrics getting to the "good part" when the playlist is essentially bg noise

Re: Come On, Where Are The Composer Credits in 'Nintendo Music'?

boxyguy

i know the general public dont really care about credits but is that really a reason not to have them? even the smash bros music player has the courtesy of displaying names

chalk it up to NSO deals always being unfinished/bad at first, or sakurai having OCD levels of detail in his games, but a song app that doesnt display composers is just bizarre

Re: Random: 'Nintendo Music' Has Fans Reminiscing About Smash Ultimate's Grooviest Feature

boxyguy

smash ult/3ds were genuinely the only music players in a game to do it right. cause yes i want the songs to play on loop and shuffle, make playlists, play them with the screen off, ect. not the perfect way to listen to music, but just enough for a kid like me to use on the go with my 3ds

that said with the excitement calming down, a nintendo music app is more of a novelty than full replacement. all the more stingy we have to wait for them to add songs, have it be available in our countries, keep a yearly subscription, ect

Re: So, Will You Be Listening To The New Mobile App Nintendo Music?

boxyguy

still waiting for it in my country, but ill definitely use it on occasion. i want to listen to nintendo music with other types of songs shuffled in, so youtube will still be my main option

as cool as it it to have a new app, still lame its locked behind paywall when putting them all on youtube was the option we hoped for

Re: 'Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete' Arrives On Mobile This December

boxyguy

honestly? i think its a good deal. ignoring the construct that we expect mobile games to either be ftp or $2 this is a great value. far more than the $25 dlc NH got

ftps are packed with so much content cause its meant to be spread out with microtractions and subscriptions. i was jealous as a NH player seeing all the events and cool items PC got, and now i can practically have it all as a one time purchase spinoff game?

switch owners would totally eat this up. it may only be on phones but this game got the best case scenario ending. now if only it released in my COUNTRY

Re: Video: Super Mario Party Jamboree - Every Minigame Included

boxyguy

@Not_Soos i looked at the SMP wiki and they have a similar number of minigames between 4p/2v2/1v3 (im avoiding comparison with MPS since that games whole gimmick is being packed with past content), so if you didnt have an issue with repetitive minigames in SMP maybe it shouldnt be an issue here?

if anything im worried about kaboom squad and koopathon getting repetitive, those are the "faster" modes ive been playing more and the repeat minigames can get annoying

Re: PSA: Don't Be Alarmed, Nintendo's New Clock Isn't A "Limited-Time" Product

boxyguy

@GarlicGuzzler i feel this. as someone who actually did buy and use the mario clock on dsi i set my alarm to the invincible star theme. years after i stopped using it i heard the theme again and felt a light sense of panic and a headache lol

the motion sensor to encourage getting up is interesting, but be wary of turning songs you enjoy into your everyday alarm

Re: Capcom Says It Will Continue To Grow The Ace Attorney Series

boxyguy

@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

Re: Capcom Says It Will Continue To Grow The Ace Attorney Series

boxyguy

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

Re: Nintendo To Go In 'Different Direction' To Current AI Trends, Says Miyamoto

boxyguy

@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

Re: Nintendo To Go In 'Different Direction' To Current AI Trends, Says Miyamoto

boxyguy

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

Re: Random: Someone 3D Printed The Rumoured 'Switch 2' Design

boxyguy

@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

Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp To End Online Service In November

boxyguy

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

Re: Hands On: 'Ace Attorney Investigations Collection' Devs Discuss California Rolls, Chibi Sprites & Puns

boxyguy

@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

Re: Sega Shows Off Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble 2024 Roadmap

boxyguy

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

Re: Nintendo Live Threat Culprit Sentenced To One Year In Prison

boxyguy

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
