Re: Ex-Nintendo Duo Unsure Mario Kart 9 Will Be An Instant "Slam Dunk" For Switch 2

dkxcalibur

I think they make great points. The fact that sooooo many people are getting triggered over 2 people talking about their opinions is crazy since most of these same people are also discussing their opinions.

Just to be clear, they're not saying the game isn't going to be great, they're saying that they don't think it will sell as well as 8.

I personally think that this series will always be a "must own" for most Nintendo system owners. But I will be shocked if it hits the numbers that 8 did. I just don't think the Switch 2 will sell as well as the Switch did so there will be a smaller amount of potential buyers.

Re: Pocketpair Recalls "Depressing Day" Nintendo Announced Its Palworld Lawsuit

For me it's a bit complex. On one side I feel that the mechanics of collecting pets can't and shouldn't be controlled by one developer. Could you imagine if this worked like this for other games? There would be only one 1st person shooter. Only one JRPG. Only one platformer. On the other side, the designs clearly look like Pokemon. Come On! If they would have just had a different style for them, we wouldn't even be talking about this, but that's what they were going for! They wanted this. No publicity is bad publicity.

Re: Niantic Sells Pokémon GO And Entire Gaming Division For $3.5 Billion

I'll be honest, I grow bored playing any of the Niantic games. When I first discovered their game Ingress (Before Pokemon Go) I at first thought it was unique and fresh. I dove into the game, spending hours walking, driving, checking into the game; in what amounted to lots and lots of wasted time. Ultimately it just felt like a chore.

As for Pokemon Go, my first impression was "this is Ingress re-skinned in Pokemon" and I was fairly close on that assessment.

Re: Random: Takaya Imamura's Holding Out Hope For A Star Fox Movie

I'm actually on board with this idea. I feel like this could be one of the Nintendo games that could actually be adapted to film. Now will this happen? Probably not. Would it gather enough support and would enough people pay to watch it? Probably not. Would I? Yes!

I would prefer it to not be animated or live action. Just do it with the puppet or stop animation. I always loved those original puppet characters from the SNES title.

Re: "I Felt Totally Overwhelmed" - Balatro Dev Releases Development Timeline

dkxcalibur

I'm finally playing the game now that it's on Xbox Gamepass.

I do find it crazy that so many people don't like or understand the game over on PureXbox. Blows my mind! I know it's maybe not for everyone, but the thought process that it's just video poker is insane.

This game is fantastic. I think I've finished a run only twice in a two week span. I keep wanting to play it more and more.

Go Gunnar Henderson!!!

Something magic happens, every time you go
You make the magic happen, the magic of Orioles’ Baseball!

When the game is close, and the O’s are hot
There’s a thundering roar from 34 to give it all they’ve got
And you never know who’s gonna hear the call
Every game there’s a different star
That’s the magic of Orioles’ Baseball!

Orioles Magic! Feel it happen!
Orioles Magic! Feel it happen!
O – R – I – O – L – E – S !
Magic! Magic! Magic! Magic!

Something magic happens, every time you go
You make the magic happen, the magic of Orioles’ Baseball!

Re: 'Switch 2' Is Projected To Be The "Clear Winner" In The Next Console Generation

dkxcalibur

@Zeebor15 Yep! They cut some cartoons to hit that 6 billion!

I'm not arguing their business ethics. I'm arguing that they make money, lots of money.

Just to circle back, I was comparing what Xbox wants to do with their Game Pass to what Netflix has done for streaming media.

If any argument is dragged out and tired, it's the console war argument. Who cares who's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd?

Also, I wouldn't call what Xbox has done a monopoly. I would say the company has definitely made some big purchases, it's not even close to cornering the market.

Re: Two New Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Switch Bundles Announced (North America)

dkxcalibur

@bleeflooflah I'm happy you'll be able to take advantage of the bundle.

Personally I would prefer the base system and buy whatever game you want. I highly doubt you're going to get the game and pass for the basic system price. Nintendo will charge you for the game at least. You may get the pass for free or at a discount though.

Re: Two New Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Switch Bundles Announced (North America)

dkxcalibur

Why not? Seems like a "no-brainer" to bundle one of the best selling games of all time with the Switch before the holiday season kicks in. This might be the best casual game as an entry point into the Switch.

Although, I highly doubt this is the type of product that will sell a second Switch to someone who already has one. If they wanted to reach that market too, all they would have needed to do is make the system look cool. Like, racing stickers from the game on the back, and the actual system in checkered black & white.

Re: Upcoming Tactics Game 'Warside' Sure Looks Familiar

dkxcalibur

I hope it plays well because I love me some Advance Wars.

....but at the same time, I can't believe this got okayed by Nintendo to be for sale on the eShop. The only differance I can see is the characters are more realistic looking cartoon and less anime style.
