I hope the t-shirts are 100% plastics without any cotton.

@The_Nintendo_Expat
That's what it is. Thanks for putting it in words. I've never played it, but I've looked at it multiple times and it always seemed uncanny.

The pickup truck at 0:15 straight up says Hyundai. One of the DLCs was Godzilla the movie? There's an above average amount of product placement in this video game.

I really like the feature where it tells you the wrong time as a prank.

@andykara2003 Gold/silver is a good pick. The games of that era are timeless.

But it is fascinating to see how Nintendo understands they make great music, and they understand people like to hear it, but they cannot for the life of them figure out how to sell it. I remember Mario Kart 8 had a jukebox update and the commercial showed a woman plugging in her headphones and listening on the train. Nintendo music as an online service is also weird. Now this. It's weird, but I think they're getting warmer. Sort of.

ngl I kind of like it

Besides some poor writing, this game is a masterpiece. But mods are invaluable to fix the little things that drive me nuts otherwise. Speech options at the top of the list.

Pokemon "Give me $20" edition. The nostalgia bait in that trailer is insane lol.

@McGregor Bethesda's texture files are bloated. Vivid Fallout is a must have mod for performance, and looks sharper than vanilla, too. The Insignificant Object Remover also helps a lot.

@Scollurio That's a vote for Wario.

Gen 5 was so good.

My favourite gen 4 pokemon is the friends we made along the way.

It might be boring, but Rayquaza is objectively the best.

@Alpha008 I'm sure it makes sense, I just do not find it the least bit interesting.

Bugs Bunny turns to the camera, takes a half-chewed carrot out of his mouth, and says, "Boy, the modern world sure has a lot of problems, don't it? In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United, dramatically changing the criteria for campaign finance laws and allowing corporations ... "
He assumes you are American, because he is as well.

Definitely not for me. The 'I hate corporations' aspect is an immediate turn-off. It's just uninspired. Same with the cost of healthcare joke and quirky reddit Cthulu appearance. Are you going to build a world, or aren't you? When we talk about immersion, it isn't about realism. It's about not feeling like the writer is in the room with you, showing you his notebook of cool ideas and epic references. Maybe it's not so egregious, but since that's what the review shows I have to assume it is.

None of these AI ventures are profitable, and none have demonstrated potential to break even. They are all propped up by American tax dollars.

@Dee123 Some countries even have their own languages. Isn't that crazy?

It's just greedy to require an online subscription to play Clu Clu Land. I'll stick to the e-Reader, thank you.

night and day difference, no doubt. I feel sick just looking at the old graphics.

@axelhander Perhaps. Perhaps not. They are already a huge burden on energy prices in northern Virginia where most of them are being built. These are population dense areas already, and they aren't equipped to handle the projected strain.
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/east-coast-blackouts-ai-data-centers-b2899669.html
"PJM, the organization that services nearly 70 million people in a 13-state corridor stretching from Kentucky to New Jersey, may be forced to trigger power outages during high demand periods, such as summer heat waves or winter freezes, The Wall Street Journal reported."
"PJM has projected that power demand will increase by an average of 4.8 percent annually for the next 10 years — an unprecedented pace of growth. And ICF, a consulting firm, forecasts that demand in 2030 will surge 25 percent above 2023 levels, largely as a result of data centers."

I think using AI is a symptom of creative bankruptcy, but the real problem is that its primary use is really mass surveillance. The normalization of technology for quirky fun art composites is essentially PR for an industry propped up entirely by military spending. Those data centers aren't for asking google how to get to the store.

Has anyone missed Roiland for even a second?

If I had a thumb like that, I'd go pro.

Mama said talking legos is the devil.

@Pirate1
I agree with you in spirit, but Lego has always experimented with electronic pieces in different ways. I remember the train sets, a UFO kit with a fiber optic light, a mechanized dinosaur with a touch sensor connected to a voice box.

Isn't that basically what the Mario lego does? It's obviously for the kids who still play with legos instead of displaying them on top of a bookcase.

@obijuankanoobie I've played them all, and I think he's right. The mechanics are a tiny bit different in each game, but 3 is finely crafted and stays true to the original spirit of Pikmin. Pikmin 4 is good in many ways, but it takes out some of the difficulty and feels a lot less... challenging.

A strong argument for video games not being art.

Not that Nintendo should have been copying Marvel movies 10 years ago, either.

I love Pikmin.

Wow. That sucks.

Fate of the Old Republic looks cool. Can't wait for them to cancel it.

I've got a game award for you: The Bible. Ever heard of it??

video game movies

I really appreciate the amount of finishing they've done on this game after release. I played the previous version and it seemed like most complaints had already been addressed, although there were some areas where adjustments were still needed. Overall, it was a very strong first attempt in the genre, and I'm hoping to see a sequel with the lessons they learn.

Blast from the past. I forgot all about the envelope art, but as soon as I saw the first picture it came rushing back. That's awesome. A real lost art.

The meta gaming killed the experience for me. Can I beat the same two deck builds over and over? I guess. Is it fun? No.

@3VET You know what's crazy? This is actually something Nintendo would do.

Some kind of haunted baby game.

Electroplankton 2. Next question.

But how do they taste?

Good review. It's pretty much how I feel about the game, playing it now. They made some tweaks to address common complaints like checkpoints. I'm having fun, so what more can you ask?

I've got my copy on Switch 1. I'm into it. The game is fun. It's not free from criticism, but it looks like a lot of original complaints like lack of checkpoints have been fixed. It runs perfectly on handheld. Docked, there is infrequently minor stuttering at some loading points, but not at all game breaking. I wish I could take advantage of the S2 resolution upgrade.

@Gamecuber Respectfully, if you already own both on Wii, why do you feel obligated to buy it again on a new system?

@RemyMartin lol

@anoyonmus Keep in mind these games are 15 and 18 years old.
