The negatives don't feel like it would be a real problem for me. (I like a more focused narrative for once, and simplistic job system is good because I'm playing FF8 and in the mood for something simpler!!! π)
@TrogdorTheBurninator This is just utter nonsense. It's an easy 20 hours or more to finish every knockout and Grand Prix cup, and that's if you don't touch the overworld goals. Which now have signs so you can see how many you have and sometimes need.
I'm disappointed, but let's not go overboard here! π
Ohhhhh boy! They all sound like annoying, stereotypical buzzkills in their own unique ways! π€£π€£π€£
But they'll probably have a mission to save them, give you some stuff and hangout at a base where you meet them every once in a while. So it'll be fine!
I missed both showcases and really needed to play that demo because the games controls and steering look like a "get gud" nightmare experience.
But Yhea, I'm getting this because the showcases let us see how much love and thought went in every single pixel. So you can't get a bad game, mediocre at worst!
@the_beaver Since it's a warriors game they could say it is too repetitive and lacks depth ... they're missing the point of defending bases and time management.... But they could say that.
@Moonvalley2006 This is drip feed Nintendo! We are now giving you a GameCube game once per season, and 1 game per month if we feel like it and you've been very very very good! π€£
@MarcusIsCool
The NSO expansion has A LOT of games at the moment. Especially N64 has a few gems I never thought I'd play again! (Banjo Tooie, Paper Mario, Mario party 3! π€)
They're taking their sweet time, but slowly releasing GameCube games too...granted you play through Switch 2. Chibi robo is on there right now with F Zero GX.... It's awesome!
@Dylan69 I have mine because not ALL games play better on Switch 2. Some are glitchy or aren't playable at all. Also, The 2 is bigger, so you could argue you have the SW1 as a portable, and the 2 for at home...
If it's a money issue maybe set up a goal so you can save and buy it without help? If it's an issue with space, maybe keep the old one in your room?
They love drip feeding us! Just that bit of news or attention once or twice a week without having to do too much.
Nintendo famously doesn't want you to. They have this weird idea that listening to the music makes you not want to play the game. Want the music? -> PLAY THE GAME!!
It takes time to program all this, and there's also someone taking all these screenshots which must take time!
This was considered a big hidden gem at the time, it released basically at the end of the console lifetimes so it was a bit overshadowed by new and shiny things.
You're constantly on a timer to get you next "fix" of... I think it's energy pellets released by enemies. It's not a Metroidvania, but an action game. But it really gives that Metroid vibe in everything else!
There's a lot of games, I don't need to pay 60+ bucks for one I already played! π
But yhea, if you've never played 2, you're in for a treat guys! It's my favourite Wii era game and it's not close...okay maybe Sports resort too....but for the others, not even close! ππ€
It sounded nice and the transformations all looked really different! They at least put a lot of work in it....maybe I'll try it one day when I just want a no brain all sparkle game to relax to!
New Adventures await! Thank you for your chill and thoughtful approach in videos, your love for rpg's and game preservation and your subtle (and sometimes not so subtle...thinking of those Christmas vids!) humor that gave your vids such a cozy feeling!
I'll definitely keep an eye out for your next step, good luck and have fun! βΊοΈ

@UpsideDownRowlet Really! Especially on the music!
I always watch through my favourite streamer. (Super butter buns) I'm basically only giving her money that way, and having a really fun night!

Re: Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Has Been Updated, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@BlackenedHalo No they are the fourth most spoken language in the world! Second if you're counting native speakers, behind only China.
Beaver is bringing his points a bit...pointy. But he is right, it's weird how they ignore such a huge market of people.
Re: Octopath Traveler 0 Demo Now Available For Switch And Switch 2, Save Data Carries Over
Ohhh, psyched! Love the Octopath battle engine, so this looks like fun!
Re: Pikmin 4's Free Content Update Is Out Now, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Re: 48 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The eShop 'Halloween Sale' (Europe)
I picked up Killer frequency because of this list (It's not on sale anymore probably, but wait a month and it is.)
Can't recommend that one high enough for a spooky treat. Absolute 9.5/10 for me! Just awesome!
Re: Surprise! Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Arrives Next Year
@user0 That's what I was thinking! Wouldn't it have been better just to make a new one and sell that bugger for 80 bucks?!

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment?
@Friendly Yhea....seeing how the first Fire emblem Warriors rolled into a bargain bin for 15 euros (or less!)
I feel that asking 80 because we slapped some Zelda sauce on this one! Is a bit of a stretch! ππ€£
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment?
If I do it, it will be physical.
But I'm just not that interested in the TOTK lore. It was fun gameplay wise, but TOTK just didn't grab me in any other way.
Hyrule warriors was really fun though...π€π

Re: Samus' Game Boy Outing Metroid II Returns In Latest Nintendo Music Update
