@VoidofLight the added content won’t do much to change your opinion - it’s 90% “guest star mode” where you get to replay the main levels as other characters from throughout the series
And planning to start one of the following on the GBA SP (I’m open to votes): Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge Dr Mario & Puzzle League Final Fantasy 1+2 Mickey’s Magical Quest
Given the concept art for BOTW included UFOs, and Link in jeans with a Flying V guitar, riding a “realistic” motorbike, it’s quite possible the new art book contains designs that aren’t exactly spoilers either
Interesting article, but it’d be cool to hear what exactly changes as a result of the extra options? Does the game change the colours of the beams or does it notify you of the bosses’ switch some other way? Does the game ask which specific colours you can’t distinguish?
If the final results are anything like the last half hour, this is gonna be White Choc by a landslide. I’m Team Milk, played 5/7 matches Vs White, and 5/7 losses…. I’m out of practice
I swear there used to be an Action Replay code that added the extra Bonds to the multiplayer cast. They may have all had the Brosnan body though, and replaced whoever the last 4 unlocked characters were, but still, I’m sure I got that working once.
Even with the recharge, the Master Sword just made all the breakable weapons redundant. Opening chests just to find another Knight’s Halberd, that I can’t fit into my limited storage, and only ever used if the MS ran out mid-fight, got tiresome. Not game-breaking, but I don’t think it encouraged me to explore or experiment any more - before getting the Master I was too scared to get in a fight and have my chosen weapon break, so I’d just snipe bokoblins with unlimited bombs from a safe overhang.
Worth remembering that Xenoblade 3, FE Engage and Kirby & the Forgotten Land all support series-specific amiibo, even if they didn’t receive new figures for them, so there is some support still.
The Zelda figures are getting restocked, so TotK will certainly support them, though I’m doubting we’ll get any new figures, unless it is Ganon(dorf).
Kazuya’s jumping the queue? I expected him after Pyra/Mythra, if they were following the DLC release order. Guess they’re limiting them to 2 per wave now, makes more sense to keep the 2 girls together, and the 2 third party devilmen together.

Re: Splatoon 3's Next Splatfest Is A Monster Mashup
Hmmm…. Harry & the Hendersons v. X-Files v. the Family Ness…
Tricky, though if it was a vote based on theme tune, Family Ness wins it every time.
You can knock it, you can rock it, you can go to Timbuktu…

@Ade117 you can get the DLC in 4U straight away. I’ve not got 3U but assume it’s the same.

Re: Where To Buy Metroid Prime Remastered On Switch
Or…
£17.99 for Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii U eshop for another 6 weeks.
Yeah, I know that version’s not remastered in HD, and it’s not portable.
But it’s half the price of MPR for all 3 games…

Re: Random: Unused Bond Face Textures Finally Erased From Switch Online's Goldeneye 007 Code
@KingMike I’m 99% certain the code let you use all the Bonds in multiplayer, albeit a little misshapen and barely recognisable.
Re: Rumour: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Will Reportedly Add New Epilogue
I’d like to echo the Requests for the Dream Collection bonus challenges, since that compilation skipped PAL territories.
And fingers crossed this Epilogue is both legit and lengthy. I assume it’s just Play The Main Game As Magolor, but we’ll see.
I liked the Wii game, but need more to justify double-dipping.

My AR has since inexplicably died though.
