Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July

We need more eshop titles like this. This looks like a blast, and might get me to purchase those NSO NES controllers if I get sucked into this, which I think I will. That deluxe edition is gonna be scalped so hard. Also multiplayer is an awesome feature that everyone seems to be overlooking.

Also I love how competitive the UI feels, even showing the inputs and the timer every where like a streamer speed running.

EDIT: After reading some comments I don't think people realize how bad the emulation quality was in NES Remix. Also how really 85% of challenges like "stomp on 3 goombas" or "grab the sword" instead of the remixes, which those in itself only had a small handful that were actually cool and not just crummy photoshop filters slapped on a bad rom of the game. This looks much more fleshed out.

Re: Video: Satisfye's New Switch Grip Should Satisfy Handheld Fans

Don't understand why people just keep getting these grips for faulty controllers. If you want an honest to god AMAZING joy con replacement, the Mobapad HD 60S is the way to go. Easily the best feeling replacements out there and are made with higher quality materials then the joy cons themselves.

Re: The First Review For Princess Peach: Showtime! Is In

@Clammy I have 100 percented it and can confidently say it was absolutely worth the full price I paid for it. Loved that game to bits from start to end and I wish I could experience it for the first time again. I would honest to god rate it as good as those games.

Also your reasoning is based purely off speculation when I can bet that Wonder cost a lot more to produce then you think it does.

Re: The Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Box Art Has Been Revealed

coolioam

If it aint broke don't fix it I guess. I have always loved this render of Luigi and it still looks good to this day. Sadly cant say the same about the game itself, easily the worst out of the 3 in my opinion and I don't have much interest replaying it. Yes im still salty about the first one not getting the remake on Switch but instead 3DS.

Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Is Returning To Cinemas This Year

@somnambulance Story wise that’s a given because they have so much more to work with, but they made so many changes to the story and characters that ruined a lot of it for me. The “villains” especially. Both movies are two very different cases writing wise. Personally I’d rather have a a story flawed by pacing rather than inaccurate portrayals of established characters.

Re: Super Nintendo World Is Coming To Universal Florida In 2025

coolioam

This was already confirmed but I cannot wait. Been following this project for a while and this one is actually a bit bigger than the Japan one, and more than double the size of the tiny LA one. The shop outside of the land however hasn't been confirmed, and that itself looks beautiful and is rumored to be an overall Nintendo store, similar to Nintendo NY or Osaka. Seems to be themed to the main hub area of the park rather than SNW which makes sense.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library Next Week With Fire Emblem

coolioam

I don't care what people say about this service, I would much rather pay the yearly cost to play a decent size of classics and games I wouldn't have paid for anyway, than to spend 5-8 bucks each on them. Plus with the DLC and some NSO exclusive games and features, I think the service is worth it imo. I would have never tried this game out or a lot of other ones if it weren't for this.

Re: LEGO Expands Its Retro Gaming Collection With A $270 PAC-MAN Arcade Set

coolioam

If you want the real deal game experience, then yeah buy an Arcade 1-UP counter cab. But the people buying this know that this isn't what it is. Like with any Lego set, it's a lengthy experience building these larger sets, and the end result is a nice display that you built yourself over a long period of time. I think its so dumb when people compare the prices of these products to the real thing, you aren't paying for the real thing, you are paying for a premium product/experience that gives you a nice display model.

Re: Nintendo Switch Is Not "Technically Capable" Of Running Call Of Duty Games, Says CMA

coolioam

They are wrong and anyone who thinks they are right are wrong. You can optimize the hell out of these titles and they still look decent, even the newer ones, and they run solid. If they can get COD Mobile looking and running well, they can easily do it with the main line games. Maybe no open world campaigns and just strictly multiplayer/zombies (which is what the true big draws are). I see the Switch getting the rumored remasters of past entries (which I will remind you, those games launched on the Xbox 360/PS3), and then future entries getting multiplayer only releases for a lower price. The only concern would be storage, but Microsoft has truly talented developers and teams under their books for optimization. Look at how well they handled Ori (I get that's a platformer, but still that's a beautiful game that runs beautifully as well).

Re: Mario Movie Improves On Characters Who Didn't Have "Much Of A Personality", Says Director

coolioam

These comments ain't it so here's an essay for yall:

The people in these comments are so blindly filled with hatred for a film that isn't even out yet. What the director is saying is absolutely correct, these characters are not known for MAINLINE story at all (be real, the common audience doesn't know Paper Mario's story). The Mario series characters are very blank canvas, and yes you can argue that's what makes them relatable/enjoyable, blank canvas characters don't work for a 90 minute film.

While yes it is always nice to see lesser known voices get the spotlight, we have to be realistic. You can see it with the new TMNT movie, people aren't saying anything about the main turtles VA, who are lesser known actors, but instead are BLOWING UP about the rest of the cast, and the same people excited over that are the same people ***** on this film for celebrity casting. Celebrity casting gets people excited and adds to the films hype, simple as that. They are known actors for a reason, they get these roles because audiences enjoy them and their work. They wouldn't get hired otherwise. For this origin story of Mario, a blue collar worker from real world Brooklyn, Pratt and Day fit the role. As much as I love Martinet, there is a limit with that voice with how natural and emotionally backed you can get with it, and it would be tough for most audiences to listen to for extended periods of time. Not saying at all he isn't a valid VA, because he absolutely is, it's just a character issue. Also thinking its a jab at Martinet in anyway, cmon, get over yourselves.
