Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2

I got it through the Walmart website just randomly later in the day. But, they cancelled the Zelda special edition BOTW back in the day from me way after the fact.

So I still don't trust Walmart that they'll actually deliver.

Re: New Mario Kart 9 Teased For Switch 2

coolaggro

Based on the starting lines shown before the goal line, Famitsu and Japanese twitter are wondering if it means this Mario Kart will support 24 players at a time. Seems a bit of a stretch since we only saw ~11 characters in each scene but would be a cool change!

Re: Mini Review: Conduct Together! (Switch) - An Endearing Puzzler That's Fun In Multiplayer

While it starts off easy enough, it quickly gets very difficult on the normal speed (difficulty). It is very satisfying when you are able to beat the harder levels and especially near the end it has some really fun final levels. Overall, there are lots of clever level designs. I've put tons of hours into this simple game and really cannot recommend it enough if you're remotely interested. I beat it both on Switch and tablet for my son (since he always liked to unlock more trains) but the switch version is the better way to go IMO-- more difficulties and more precision with being able to hit buttons instead of just touch (although you can use a touch screen).

Re: Final Fantasy Uniqlo Range Accidentally Revealed Early

I still get excited to see new Uniqlo collabs but I feel they've been very lackluster as time has gone on. Like many of these, even FFVI, they're just slapping sprites on there. FFVIII is just a picture from the game.

The Demon Slayer ones felt similar. Later pokemon ones have been overall a bit lackluster. Kingdom had some good ones but still felt they could have done more. The Nintendo ones back in the day were really good. They were still clean but had some interesting and fun designs.

Re: Soapbox: Music Just Don't Come Spookier And Sadder Than Zelda: Majora's Mask

It might be well known, but Materia collective put out a Majora's mask remix album a few years ago that has several great tracks. https://www.materiacollective.com/music/fate-a-tribute-to-majoras-mask

The game has some of the most haunting tracks but it also has some of the most beautiful, which makes the contrast between them have the haunting ones stand out all the more. The song of healing going back and forth with minor and major tones is fantastic

Re: Deck-Building Card Battler 'Monster Train First Class' Is Out Now On Switch

coolaggro

I love this game so much. $30USD does seem high but I'll still likely double dip and get this on switch as well.
I like slay the spire as well, but I would recommend this one over slay the spire even. Not saying fans of the genre will like it more, they're pretty close in my mind. But people who don't have experience with the genre will likely find this a better starting point as well as more fun and accessible. Slay the spire can be brutal at first

Re: Rumour: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Reportedly In The Works For Nintendo Switch

coolaggro

My only worry is that Pikmin 3 had some difficult parts where you would need the Wiimote to play with-- running away from a boss one way while simultaneously throwing pikmin the other way which you could not do with one control stick. Maybe they'll have different control options so I can control where I throw Pikmin with the right stick? But then I don't know what I would do with the camera. Old school N64 with rotating the camera left and right with buttons? I dunno

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger 5?

coolaggro

If Byleth came out as a fighter earlier on in the fighter pass, it wouldn't have gotten near the negative attention. Order matters in marketing and such. But it's fine and we all knew three houses was a bit inevitable. It's a great game too so cool that it can be represented I guess. Just not terribly exciting and doesn't seem very interesting as a character. I would have rather they had an equipping mechanism or something, and more interesting things from the bow like an arching projectile or something

Re: Ninja Thinks Pro Players And Streamers Who Cheat Should Be Treated Differently

coolaggro

It would be one thing to say you’re cheating ahead of time- although probably you won’t get any followers or become pro because you don’t have skills. But to lie about it is fraud- people might “follow” you because they think you’re so good at the game when in reality you’re not.

Bottom line- be a “content creator” by being good or interesting and not relying on cheating, you idiots
