Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th October)

garfreek

I feel bad for not finishing Echoes of wisdom, so I'm jumping in tonight. I'm craving Mario party 5, but can't reach my console and the other Switch ones have to compensate! Hope I can get a game of 4P going when we're playing games this Sunday.

And maybe finally picking Octopath traveler 2 back up. I don't like those opening chapters and Instill have 4 to go! Just gotta power through probably! (Really love every second I play, but combing those towns for resources gets tiring!)

Re: 65 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In Nintendo's 'Screaming Deals' Sale (North America)

My horror game of last year was a Nintendo life hidden gem recommendation: Killer Frequency. It may not be on sale right now, but it's usually pretty cheap.

A 5 to 6 hour game where you lead people who are terrorized by a serial killer to safety...over the phone in your radio show. It feels like you're in a Scream movie and the outside could penetrate your little safe space any moment. I loved it to bits!

Re: Nintendo Has Now Shut Down Mario Kart Tour

I really had a blast with this one, the combo mechanic was fun and made you play in a completely differen way! You also got so many variations on tracks that I wish would've carried over!

Just a great little time waster that was always really fair! (And the controls were so tight I could put someone where I wanted them down to the pixel most of the time....so maybe that just took some getting used to? )

Re: Feature: Okay, Let's Talk About The New Resident Evil Movie

garfreek

The only reason you guys say it isn't "faithfull" is because it didn't feature the main cast like Leon.

But everything else from locations, inventory management, campy humor and jumpsscares, to how the movie is shot, is all very Resident Evil 4,7,8 and 9!

They used a lot of angles the game use, that's why the second photo in this article looks straight out of a new game! There's even a transition from "cutscene" to main "playable main character" in the beginning! πŸ˜‚

It was a great, gross, hilarious, terrifying, amazing time filmed by someone who clearly knows what they're doing.

Re: Opinion: I Played Mario Kart Tour Every Day For Seven Years, And What Am I Left With?

garfreek

Played it from the first day, till we didn't get anything new. The signs were there that it wouldn't last much longer after that announcement, so three years is honestly very cool!

What nobody talks about is how ingenious it's systems were created. The feeling when you round the corner in a boost and just nab that coin in time to keep the combo going, and then going ham as you hit a frenzy: Absolute magic! And busines wise having every glider, kart and character have favourite tracks was devious, but really smart! Everytime you got a new piece of kit you would retry that course and see your high score inch a bit higher!

Fun times! πŸ₯°

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The Level-5 Vision 2026 II Showcase

garfreek

@JohnnyMind Yhea they've been struggling so badly I think if we boycott them now there won't be a level 5 anymore... So I'm in a bit of a split here.

Really psyched for the new Layton though! They've been working on it for so long I can't wait to see what they've come up with! It feels new and weird and I love it's finally a proper sequel to the first three and not some daughter, uncle or nephew! πŸ˜‚

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Directs September 2026 Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?

garfreek

I'm hoping Capcom finally makes good on that "It's a main franchise we swear!!" Statements and shows us something new and Ace attorney! We've technically been waiting since August 2017!!

And Ocarina of time. If it's anywhere near as big of a change as Starfox I can't wait to play it again!

I keep thinking Bananza WAS the 3D Mario. So unless we get a Mario 3D land situation I don't think we'll see anything yet.

And I also really would like a new Mario Party, I'm sick of Jamborees 4 player mini games and could use a new one!

(And a Golden sun remake with Quality of life upgrades, but that's asking for the moon....)

Re: Paper Mario's Nintendo 64 Soundtrack Joins Nintendo Music Today

@UpsideDownRowlet
I feel they are 2 sides of the same coin in the best way possible. TTYD is what adventures can we think of that can't take place in the mushroom kingdom?

And Paper Mario is that idea "at home." In Japan it's called Mario RPG and it really lives up to that name here. What kind of town would goombas have, what kind of myths and legends would there be in the mushroom kingdom? Stuffing it full of original characters and fun partners to play with.

I'd say this one, the Rareware games, Mario golf and Mario party and the Mario kart 64 battle mode are all still amazing games and worth the 20 extra bucks !

Re: Toby Fox Shares Another Deltarune Chapter 6 Development Update

garfreek

@asdfghjklz This comment is on every post about Deltarune. PLAY THE FREE CHAPTER(S).

If you play chapter 1 you'll see that it's a complete Undertale length story and game with mysteries set up for the future. Like a TV show.

These games basically get to be even more fun because of it's fandom. All the theories, fanart etc. Really add a lot of fun and community to all this. So that's why you see so many people be happy. And he's delivered with every chapter so far, the game is like 25 bucks that you pay once..which is so little for the content you get I still wonder how they make money of this thing!

Re: Two Cancelled Virtual Boy Games Join 'Nintendo Classics' Today

garfreek

Glad that's done! They almost never post anything and the it's also cluttered up with this thing.

I do think it's really cool we got the option to play it for like 20 to 80 bucks! Hope we get the full screen sometime because holding that screen so close to my face doesn't seem like a good time to me! πŸ˜‚
