@UpsideDownRowlet It was better than I had expected, had that real sense of wonder playing it! If you're a bit into the series or played 7 I'd say it's worth it!
@Kategray knowing your general taste I think you'll really love the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It makes that new shiny Switch2 finally feel like a real powerhouse with gorgeous graphics! 🙌🤎
I'm playing Pikmin 4 and maybe finally getting back into Octopath traveller 2!
Never played more than a few hours Maple story or whatever that was called and an hour of that really famous free one no one talks about nowadays. So I consider myself to be a total MMORPG noob. I don't like the concept of having to find other players to do stuff real time, I hate that they made these numbered titles so now I always think 14 is the one with Lightning.
But we'll see, I mean it apparently has a story so now I gotta see it! ☺️😄
I feel people forgot that a quest storyline is perfectly fine. They have a final destination, meet wacky things along the way, Bowser has a massive yes maybe no character development... It's fine guys! Like this is essentially what a book like The Hobbit was too, and I see that as great literature.
Could they have done more, absolutely! Is it a masterpiece, heck no! Would it have helped if they hadn't spoiled literally everything except 1 thing in the last 15 minutes...also a big yes!
Oh when this starts up you'll definitely be feeling like Bond!! This just increased my hype levels from: "wait for a sale" to... Maybe just pre-order now! 😂🤎
I just love the world and characters and want more. How they give me that is up to them..but like people have said: a game with small planets and Interstellar missions sounds awesome!
Oh this is better then nothing! Still so weird they locked such a fun little build set behind a paywall everyone who would have wanted it would have paid already!
@Nao120 Oh yhea, if you're looking for a Faithfull adaption this will not do! The musical itself was salvaged from an awfull book that basically slapped on the Oz paint on his fantasy world to sell books.
The musical does adhere to the original Judy Garland movie at least pretty 1:1 in it's second half. It's a great companion piece of that in my eyes, giving every character and it's actions a new look.
Dominic Noble has a whole trilogy about what they changed from each itteration to the next including from OG Oz to the movie with Judy. He calls the series "Lost in Translation" Maybe worth a watch if Oz is a special interest to you!
@Nao120 Oh Wicked is pretty impressive in my eyes! From a technical standpoint it's amazing for it's use of practical effects. From a music standpoint the songs are just so catchy and song by two of the greatest female vocalists of this time.
I mean I totally get why this wouldn't be your thing. But the praise was pretty justified I think?
@8bit-Man But that is exactly WHY this one is so different! You can just go back to 8 and it's 92 tracks for the OG experience! (Although I feel this one controls way better.. But that's why people complain probably, because this once plays like a dream! )
@MirrorFate2 still my problem too!!! Donut playing plane and the ice with the chomp are there. But they're both Ocala and so big that we just drove around each other!
@TrogdorTheBurninator I'm a Poison trainer, and this baby just whacked it's way through the Elite four in Violet! So proud of the little guy!!
He had the same route as Corviknight the game before it. Punching bag and barely useable during the game and turning into the MVP as soon as I hit Victory dirtpath!
There's really no surprise left in this movie is there?! They had Wart and Star fox and Pikmin....all ready to blow our minds and now what?!
Hate that I can't see it in it's first week because every second of this movie will be spoiled rotten because no one uses a spoiler warning! Including Nintendolife!!!
I saw people complaining about the randomness, and with good measure! There's so much that hinges on you getting that room. And perma upgrades do slightly make it easier every time, but I've got a life!
Like the review said I started obsessing over getting into that damn room. But after knowing what to do, having all the pieces laid out and ready to go.... Five hours later I'm still resetting because it didn't give me the room, or I got the room but not the item...
Finally stopped and watched the ending on YouTube. Not proud, but after about 20 hours and a lot still to cover I'm cutting my losses!
@TripleJump Oh that would be amazing! Thea, browsing through these comments I can see how many QOL improvements there could be made. Starting with sliders for music and SFX 😂
Still really love what's there, I feel there's a lot of love and polish in there already but really glad they keep working on it!
@Dman10 Worse is the people plastering those spoilers everywhere that's connected to internet so I REALLY can't escape them! Not to mention Nintendo themselves that insist that I see every surprise and then go for the....plot? Or something. Which will be written on a post it because Miyamoto is still sticking his thumb in there somewhere!
@Smackosynthesis Honestly, yes! You can now track a lot of the collectibles and search when waiting in the lobby I believe.
But no, for you it will probably never be good enough. No matter that you got this alongside 3 speeds, a mirror mode and 2 different ways of playing through the GP and one through Knockout tour. Can you stop now? We get it, it will never be good enough for you because the price is too steep and you don't like their core design choice. Perfectly fair, but can you just say that instead of these snarky one liners I've been hearing for 6 months every single time this game is discussed?
@squiddu-real When they don't in February they always have in March. The only exception is 2017 Where we had to wait for april. But this was also the Switch from Wiiu to Switch1.
Rules are there to be broken but I've been expecting a late March direct all this time!

Re: Nintendo's GameCube App Has Received A Small Update Today (Version 1.6.1)
@ScottBp33 REALLY hope they'll do, it would be the first time europeans get to play them....or at least where I'm from it was never in stores.

Re: Nintendo Will Be "Absolutely Furious" About Latest Leaks, Says Former PR Manager
It takes the "didn't see it coming" away. Which then makes everyone say: Yhea but there were no surprises, this was a bad direct etc.
Re: So, Will you Be Watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
@Datasun_7 Eh, so it's working too!
(I posted below you that all these announcements make me uninterested to go! xD )
Re: So, Will you Be Watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
I'm a bit bummed out about the constant "announcement", really took the joy and surprises away so now i'm not so hyped to see it actually!
