@Snatcher mmhm, but dont feel bad about lose streaks cause theres honestly so much rng that goes into solo queue some loses are just out of your hands. if you need catalogue points play turf, if you wanna have fun then play however you want!

for real, idk where their sudden edge came from to hop into a game article and be like "i dont care i have a life" lol

@Snatcher mmhm its for sure playing turf. ranks "technically" give more points but only when you win, so thats not always reliable. turf is more consistent at rolling out points even when you lose so youre better off grinding that for the catalogue

this was an especially interesting yet very niche thing to talk about. cant say i disagree, i think its the right call for remixes to follow similar beats to the original, or at least have the original song as an option

theyre bringing back the day/night cycle from mp6 that nintendo is too scared to

but this actually looks nice, im so used to these kinda anime only getting fighting games

with both the mobile game and switch game getting new content together, mario kart fans have been eating good.

wild when you think about how pocket camp still gets regularly updated. im still salty it hasnt come to my country, and that NH and PC couldnt have a cool update cycle together like mario kart did

more PvE content. i was really hoping salmon run would get more love now that its not timegated, but anything new its gotten has been super grindy and also timegated again (big run, eggstra work)? its forced into a supplement mode with the lack of meaningful content and rewarding progress

next year they'll be proud to announce the switch u

from movies to theme parks this was a long time coming, tho i do like how theyve come full circle in a way. from the very beginning theyve always been willing to experiment with diff business ventures, now that they've found their footing with games its like theyre willing to go back to that again

ive always seen nintendo as the disney of video games. fun for all ages, well thought out entertainment, accessible, ect. tho given disneys recent track record, not sure how much of a compliment that is

guess their main priority was making one complete game first which payed off. its very rare nintendo games get surprise dlc long after the original release passes, only cases i can think of are mk8d and acnl

looks nice. with the ac photoshoot at nintendo live, new commercials, rumored lego set, and now switch lite editions, i wonder why the sudden resurgence.

it could easily mean nothing, but i can still dream of a welcome amiibo size update like new leaf got. id be more than happy with a deluxe style rerelease, NH does a lot of things right but can still do more

It's almost cartoonish how he was moved to a role that apparently has no meaning yet

To me it sounds like he'll keep advertising mario? Hyping him up? Strange title indeed

Interesting, the fact there's no fanfare makes me wonder if they're still trying to find the perfect replacement

Or they really don't wanna make a big deal out of it the same way Charles also just landed in the role of mario

fine by me. this is an especially new era for 2d mario, and mario platformers have always felt like "it'll be done when its done" kinda games

also something something pokemon wishes it could do this

call me copium, but i think nintendo realized after mario maker 2 online thats online coop is a lost cause, and i think having a live shadow of all the randoms your playing with is much more manageable and pleasant to play through

wish online with friends had the option for physical interactions tho, lag is unpredictable but with friends its at least in a more controlled environment

what an, odd easter egg. just show something in the front of the dock to let people my switch is a special edition i swear

with so many more items being added i really wish we could save multiple locker set ups. my locker is already filled up and has been "finished" for months now, but i dont wanna change it cause you cant undo any edits and its just such a process to redo each time

Brella buffs.. someone on the dev team finally remembered them... not the damage buffs I was hoping for but buffing their core gimmick is a good step forward

maybe deep down we're all just pikmin collecting stuff

@sanderev the convenience of playing this on my (potential) next gen switch is very tempting yes haha. tho the fact that the xbox version is delayed because the series s is having trouble running bg3, could mean nintendo will still have their own up hill battle bringing it over

i think the fact that devs are coming out and saying "pls dont expect us to make an rpg this big" shows how well crafted and content packed the game it. this should not be seen as an attack on totk, but a celebration on how the devs pushed the boundaries on what a game can deliver

i know this game is outside the nintendo bubble, but bg3 honestly did to RPGs what zelda did for open world games. theyre masterclasses of their genre even if their audiences dont completely overlap

sure business is business, but putting a patent on a loading screen is and will always be dumb

i like how a lot of the improvements take ques from smash, which isnt a bad thing at all. smash has always been good at the "easy to learn, hard to master" mindset

the slime meter is such a cool idea. clouds limit gauge has always been one of the more simple yet effective gimmicks in smash, and having it also influence your combos is very interesting

id love to see nintendos "gamified" take on AC legos. not sure how the barcode scans can be used but i can imagine diff sets being their own acres you combine to build up your own lego town

2 hour play windows for challenges is egregious. i know its for fomo but ill never get why it has to be this harsh

really cool art direction, its almost weird that the cat looks more realistically textured than the rest of the game

always up for more characters but ive made peace knowing theyre done with this game (unless they wanna pull a mk8d with a remaster)

if anything id want them to bring back some old modes. break the targets, master orders, smash run and tour (needs to be revamped but mario party x smash bros is such a cool idea)

obviously smash can continue without sakurai, 2d crossover fighters arent a patented. but it's been his vision for the past 2 decades so things WOULD be different, for better or worse whose to say

im still more on the negative side. games with new directors and devs can improve the existing formula, but those are the exception not the rule. he honestly set the standard so high id be worried for who else wants to try making the next smash

its not like he's even making bad games, he still overly delivers on this series. the most complaints come from a technical aspect cause playing a game competitively will never be perfect

Cheat the system and use money to invest in both fame and love. But props to big man for finally getting an appealing team side lol

i havent picked up the game yet but i was disappointed to see the difficulty toggle was removed from 3, but i think the upgrade system was meant to be an indirect replacement for that. i wonder how difficult runs will be if you refuse to upgrade as much as you feasibly can

since lemmy will literally never appear in an article header ever again ill also take this chance to say he's best koopaling. he's really cute in the mario bros show where him and iggy were twins named hip and hop. lil mohawk koopa guy who likes to be a clown bless him

theres something bitter sweet about them still willing to make products for a dead franchise but not an actual game. i love conker but for better or worse the series lives of nostalgia now with the occasional expensive figure to buy

i also like to throw kids in the general direction of a task i want them to do

ah the good ol nx days

nah just play the way you want. why worry about playing a game "wrong" when theres no actual online rank or way to affect other players

my early joycons have been a drift nightmare, each cleaning guide control stick replacement led to them all drifting a few months later. my oled model joycons havent drifted at all since i got them so im just gonna keep praying it stays that way

cant lick the cartridges, cant blow on the slot. whats the point anymore

i agree the function over flashiness is preferred for switch menus, but ill still miss the way 3ds and wii u sorted game icons. it was the best feature they didnt bring back for some reason

im a simple man, i like winged cause theyre small and cute. fly my little things

part of me also believes its comes with the pride of attempting to be a successful 1st party nintendo game. mk8d is the exception, but i think its hard to sell yourself as a $60 arcade-y party game youre meant to replay for high scores or rank mode, the content has to speak for itself. unless they wanna admit this is a b-grade series to be sold at $40-$50

their best bet would be to just remake or port over gx with online and test if theres still a market for it

theyve already shown theyre willing to re-release gamecube games as remasters or bundles for $60. pretty sure nso isnt getting anything past the n64 anymore. possibly virtual boy if theyre daring enough?

great, not only do we have to have large gatherings to get the most out of this game, i gotta worry about them snapping genitalia icons. and worst of all we're playing everybody 1-2 switch

this games legacy will be the fact it exists, but it does keep the joycons "party" functions alive. joycon hide and seek sounds fun to me, makes me wish it was in a better game

part of me likes how.. weird the avatar options look. theres nothing conventionally attractive about them, they dont even have natural hair colors. with a game as weird as pikmin i think thats something you gotta embrace

i do wish the face/hair options werent limited to body types tho, id like more options to mix and match

for nintendo specifically they NEED to rely on exclusives since their priority is solely in the game market, pushing consoles is important.

but other than the pride of owning X console to play Y game i really cant complain about games being more accessible in other places, but we still need a lil bit of both if not for the sake of companies trying to 1-up each and make better quality games

he's not entirely wrong, especially when i grew up hearing fans preach "gameplay over graphics" and "all cod games are the same" . there was a point where it was cool to hate cod and better to play "real" games

that said, still incredibly petty to dismiss the games all together. he's trying so hard to convince us cod on switch is a bad idea when its just to cover sonys backend

this just makes me wish it was a NSO perk like the devs originally suggested, but like tetris 99. battle royal microgames sound so fun and justifies the 100 player idea

i get the minigames are designed for local play, but it baffles me even more they thought nearly 100 players would gather in the same room to play this

@steely_pete tbh im still confused at what he directly wants. does he not want the "boy" hair styles to put hands on their hips? not wink or do peace signs? its such a generalized complaint that just limits options

idk how this takes away options when you can still choose your characters style in the beginning. whats being taken away? emotes are a brand new thing so theres no basis on whats been removed yet

isnt it part of the canon that the squids can morph their hair into whatever they want? whose to say which player is a boy or girl at this point. i never even noticed it as an issue cause options arent limited between boy or girl characters anymore

the poses dont even look that feminine to me? unless they mean striking any kind of pose doesnt look masculine. maybe they expect something more blatant like flexing muscles or something

I was worried a smooth moves sequel with just an extra controller would be too redundant, but seeing how it ties into new assymentrical movement has me really excited! Just like GiT I can't wait to play this
