@mariomaster96 old fan here and i agree map design is the one thing that feels more archaic compared to TOK. it really makes me dream for a sequel and mixes both TTYD and TOK best qualities

i still regularly play RFA, its the only way i can justify sitting for a majority of my day lol. makes me wish it got more updates or DLC, this series is such a heavy hitter id love to see more of what it can do

one thing i can always count on with these Random articles is a handful of passive aggressive comments talking about how they dont care

Really puts into perspective the priorities of smash. I think it's still obvious certain fighters are competitively stronger than others, but you're not playing against esport level players online

The balance still isn't perfect imo but given the compromise between millions of fans and 80+ characters I think we got it about as good as we could get. Bowser jr/lemmy for life

I'm ready. I'm just so ready at this point

thats concerning, out of all games to seemingly not have preorders its the one that has the most stakes on making the series feel whole again

just the fact this game is releasing so late into the switches life too, i hope it sells well

i always have passive excitement for deltarune, not always on my mind but pleased to hear more news on it. theres something nice about knowing the devs are quietly working on the game, its going well, and i just go "cool "

theres something funny about mario kart 7 lobby purgatory. godspeed to all 4 of them

on the topic of keeping cases, has anyone ever done the middleground route of keeping the cases on a shelf, but also moving the discs into its own binder? i only had a dozen or so games at a time, so i have the convenience of keeping all my games in a binder but also the aesthetic of displaying my cases on a shelf haha

They really don't want people to say nice things about them huh

they really wanna glace over the API pricing huh. but ugh, regardless of your thoughts on twitter this is a shame, it really was a convenient way to upload and share game highlights. i used it a lot doing the switches early years

gosh even nintendos spounting switch rumors now. cant trust anyone these days

i get conflicted between digital and physical. on one hand id love to always have physical for my fav games. but sometimes i get SO excited to play id rather download it and have it ready the second its available. its a dilemma lol

Pls bring back pushmo, I need this 3ds game era kept alive. I still hope for a new dillon game despite the company closure

i want to eat this game it looks so tasty

im sorry i cant be her

my eyes for the life of me cannot tell the diff on the lower frame rate, tho i imagine veteran players needing to readjust their muscle memory on superguards

i dont doubt that the game will run as beautifully as it looks. id only get annoyed if frames drop hard in the middle of gameplay, but i have no reason to believe would happen in a game like ttyd (besides the dry bones room lol)

whats scary is how plausible it is for the switch 2 to not be compatible with old switch games at all. i was under the assumption that of COURSE it'd be backwards compatible, almost every nintendo console and handheld was too. how can these tiny switch chips not be?

but this switch era where nintendos back on top and at their greediest? idk man i feel theres a lot more they'll try and get away with. hoping for the best

a music player and concept art is the minimum i could hope for from a remake lol, but the latter is surprising. it really feels like theyre want to respect the legacy of this game in a way theyve ignored for so long

i can only hope this game sells well enough this late into the switches life, its a beast of a title

i love how skrunkled they made the x-naut lol

@Uncle_Franklin yeah! its divisive but i really like the paper craft aesthetic the newer games have, its very pretty and they managed to make these worlds feel alive and lived in by TOK.

i think what ruined it was when the game mechanics and characters had to rely on paper jokes and gimmicks too, it should stay as a visual aesthetic and not overtake the games identity

kinda off topic but id love if a new PM game looked as good as the sticker star boxart, seeing the felt material and shadows overcasting the layered paper looks so cool. it was a shame this was when they started the choppy animations and removed the layered look of characters, up until the remake anyway

I know NH finished it's 2 year update cycle years ago and we should move on, but it still stings knowing they regularly promote new products without any actual game news

With how mainstream its become I feel they could toss us a (good) spinoff or something, it lends itself perfect with its hundreds of characters and thousands of items

I'm just a desperate fan and want them to revisit their RPG idea AC was originally conceived as

"a delayed park is cool. a rushed park sucks forever" - miyamoto

I like their out of the box thinking even if it sometimes to their detriment

Paper mario TOK's ring battles are undoubtedly unique and peaked my interest, but they grew stale and its easy to see its flaws after playing through the game. New gimmicks are fun but it stole Pape Mario's identity for the past decade. I like nintendos weird side in moderation

props to jack black, he has the opposite chris pratt effect lol

Games have already gotten sneaky with $60 games having paid dlc. The questions is how blatant do they want be about it, cause I've bought all of nintendos dlc without feeling ripped off I spent $85 on one game technically

this is something ive thought about recently, its such a funny and odd addition it makes me wonder the reason why some nintendo games have it. wariowares unhinged, peach showtime wants to excite, 12 switch wants to cause pain

i really hope something comes from this, i remember when they sent out warioware surveys before GiT was announced too. they fact theyre even acknowledging that people might like the older mechanics, mario rpgs feel hopeful again

on another note i think we all lost our chance to publicly give our two cents after they realized everyone cheesed their club nintendo surveys lol

i think im too dumb to ever make it that far in the game, but im happy to see how successful its been. the game is a sight to behold

i agree having an auto steering function really kills the sense of online competition, i hope it doesnt unbalance the rankings that much.

hopefully this will more so stop low level players from dying as early rather than cheese their way to high ranks, i imagine skilled players will keep this function off and take advantage of off road shortcuts and the general flexibility. i hate how limited MK feels with auto steering, i dont think any top player would have that on

aw marshal not being able to sit is lame. i love the squirrels and i get theyre shorter, but he doesnt even look that shorter compared to the other figures? makes me wish they just stayed the same size as everyone

this announcement still feels like a fever dream. all signs pointed to this game style never coming back, like they were SO insistent of it never happening. but here it is and it looks stunning, i can wait to experience this game again

ill never be convinced to give mario battle league a pass. it may have the most solid strikers gameplay, but literally having nothing else to offer at $60 really burns it for me

you can tell audiences believed that too, being the only mario sports game on switch to get a 2nd demo several months after launch

That ttyd crystal star remix was enough to put a smile on my face. Can't wait to play it

my one hope for stories is that they bring the navirou amiibo back in stock. i love you navi but youre being scalped so hard rn

i cant speak too much on this but i wonder if this is a case of the next gen bubble finally popping, games and graphics getting bigger and more expensive each year and still failing to deliver. so sad to see after last year being considered a great year for gaming

nintendos last gen approach could very well be the thing keeping them stable

pretty much agree on the cons. 3 boss types is pretty weak and tho ive heard theres 120(?) kind of floor builds, im already feeling some repeats. another con for me is despite how high-stakes the main story feels its pretty anti climactic to beat it in a few hours

but its not stopping me from a fun time, its satisfying gradually getting stronger with my upgrades. it arguably has even more play time than octo expansion in terms of replayability. tho nothing will ever top the story and satisfaction of beating octo expansions

who actually thinks the crime here is worth 14m? the whole thing is just ridiculous and sad

yknow i was one of the 2 people that wondered what that Coming Soon section was gonna be. i also hate everything. love warioware tho

Wii u and 3ds nailed their home menus I wished their organization format would come back. Even this looks just as simple yet sleek but still shows more games at a time

@Bret that rumor trains been bugging me, just something spread during the heat and panic of palworld discussion. and im oddly inclined to believe the CEO too cause why lie about something like that when we already know their stance on AI

beyond the pokemon influence its a fine game. a loop of collecting pals, resources, and base building. an addicting loop from what ive seen, tho people comment on its staying power after playing a dozen or so hours. its in early access so i do hope future updates make it better for people playing

props to palworld, no actual criticism on the gameplay or any bugs or performance. just a fun game that happens to pull in pokemon designs lol

my friend play hours of this last night and enjoyed himself, gonna give it a try later today

orbulon has personally grown on me a lot ever since they redesigned him to be a small guy, but yeah odd someone like jimmy didnt come first

happy theyre still trying to promote move it, i love the game but i wish there were more collectables and solo modes to pull me back. its so baked as a local party game first i cant enjoy a majority of the modes

devils advocate, but spirits are better than trophies for having actual gameplay value serving as mini challenges and character equipment

i miss the charm of 3d models and proper descriptions, but if thats all we could say was better about them, then after 4 games of rewriting the same trophy descriptions spirits are a more than fine substitute

must come with the territory of directing games but props to his work ethic. he's posted several times a week without delay for over a year with a clear cut off on when to stop

i havent watched all his videos but i appreciate how short and approachable he's kept his topics. they werent meant to be full classes but small insights on what he's learned over the years

@DiggleDog indeed. i loved the games as a kid, still havent beat mother 1 but i gotta respect how much they value its legacy. even if it doesnt mean any future games projects

theres something bittersweet about itoi being so upfront about how he's done with earthbound, and he told the story he wanted to tell and that its finished

its so wild how this essentially dead franchise lives on thanks to community love and occasional merch drops, its like this series is stuck in purgatory of being popular enough to celebrate but not enough for any kind of game

the most i could dream for is a trilogy port release, or a remake of one of the games they'd sell for $60 id immediately buy lol

@nimnio funny how the switch oled ended up being that $350 upgrade haha, but it does have my mind racing on what a NEW switch would be exactly. i feel theres a line between people expecting a minor hardware boost like 3ds to new 3ds, or a pure jump to next gen console like ps4 to ps5. id hope for the latter just for the sake of a better switch UI alone

@HalBailman thats true, the switch is a much more subtle yet impactful gimmick they can carry on to a sequel. it'll be quite a bold step, nintendo rarely makes a powerful console with no new gimmicks just for the sake of it. consoles like SNES and gamecube didnt sell that much better than their previous gen counterparts when all they could offer was being a simply more powerful version

that could be an apples vs oranges comparison tho, i just find it interesting. i can easily see the pendulum swinging to the other side and people wishing the switch took a more bold direction, arguing a switch pro only appeals to hardcore fans that want better framerate and more 3rd parties games to come to it natively

that said i desperately want them to continue the console/handheld hybrid, i play my switch 95% of the time portable
