Re: WarioWare: Move It! Wiggles Its Way Onto Switch In November

boxyguy

now this is interesting, a sequel not only happening soon after the last game, but also being the "smooth moves" game style we all expected the first time

hoping for a more complete package. GiT was great but slacked on a few highlights of past games (VAing, cinematics, toys/collectables)

Re: Random: Mario Movie Illegal Upload Watched By Millions On Social Media

boxyguy

when this comes in conjunction of the movie recently making 1B in the box office theres only so much "woe is nintendo" to go around. popular movies have been pirated for years, this movie has already been online for weeks. the fact that movies can be successful despite that shows how well off they are

pirating will never truly take over cause the general public would honestly rather pay for the convenience of receiving a product right then and there, than go through hoops of steps and sketchy links to maybe get a good quality pull of a movie

Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?

boxyguy

@TheBigBlue @Mauzuri battle league is a bad example tbh. i bought both games and switch sports is the far better deal. BL is not a big enough evolution to warrant all they cut from previous games. literally, its just one mode. its a fine game that should not be $60, and this being the only mario sport that nintendo offers a free demo to months after it came out tells me nobodys been playing it

i can argue switch sports is a complete $40 game after its updates. less modes, but still far more variety and replayability. the game didnt need to be wii sports resort + more, all the side mode wouldve bloated the online aspect tbh. and the game already shines in its simplicity and ease of use

thats harder to get away with in mario sports, theres needs to be a bigger hook than "main mode and online mode". it failed in ultra smash, and failed again in battle league

Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?

boxyguy

this is such a weird game to talk about. theres a lot to be said about its lack of modes and sports, but i still got so much value from the game and its online is FAR better than wii sports club.

with how successful that game was they shouldve supported it longer. nintendo this generation has been bloated with "less modes and content but you can play online now" games and this couldve been so much more

Re: Anniversary: Five Years Ago, Nintendo Unboxed Its Most Joyful, Harebrained Experiment

boxyguy

the games ended up more disposable than the cardboard. im still oddly on board for them to make more kits, the idea of DIY accessories and games is still really cool to me, its the best use of joycons by far. they just need more fleshed out gameplay and ways to share labo garage creations

half the fun of games like this is easily sharing and creating ideas. but sharing video recordings of labo vr was hard enough, they never fully taught you how to use the garage, and the games are so focused on local play it could never really build a bigger community. as cool as it was to construct your peripheral everything else after that was too shallow

Re: Video: Is 3DS StreetPass Dead?

boxyguy

i area was small and made getting 2 streetpasses in a day a miracle

as the nostalgia for this system grows i hope we'll see more people make dedicated streetpass hotspots at cons or something

Re: Poll: How Many 3DS Consoles Have You Owned?

boxyguy

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

Re: Random: Smash Bros. Melee HD Unlikely To Happen, According To Former Nintendo Employees

boxyguy

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

Re: Video: Looking Back On Animal Crossing: New Horizons Three Years Later

boxyguy

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

Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch

boxyguy

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

Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Colors! 3D

boxyguy

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

Re: Soapbox: 3DS' Boundless Creativity Got Me, And Nintendo, Through Some Tough Times

boxyguy

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

Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Dillon's Rolling Western

boxyguy

@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

Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Dillon's Rolling Western

boxyguy

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
