The controls for Smooth Moves were honestly terrible at times such as getting the form baton Wii remote to work correctly but hopefully the motion controls are better on Switch since I’m excited to have a more traditional Warioware game back! Also I read other previews too and they all mention controlling the microgames with your a**… wow
@HeadPirate I can’t wait for SO either! I hope OtH will make more appearances in the future, would love to see all three idol groups together. And I just want to know how Pearl became a drone or what’s even happening with her (or Marina, where is she?!). But hopefully we’ll get more OtH songs in SO just like in OE!
@HeadPirate Makes sense as this article feels like bait. Nearly everyone wants backwards compatibility for Switch and articles like this one make people mad, but hey free clicks = free money! On the other hand, cool Pearl pfp
@Yalloo I haven’t found the other 11 artifacts yet, I accidentally found the first one while exploring. I’m thinking about getting all of the upgrades first then I’ll go back and find them. Also thanks! There’s so much cool content in game such as all of the lore from scanning stuff and the enemies, it’s insane how detailed Prime is. I’m planning on playing 2 and 3 eventually even if they haven’t been remastered yet, hope they’re just as good! Worried about playing 3 with the Wii controls though lol
I’m playing Metroid Prime Remastered! I was worried whether I’d like it or not when I bought it but I’m loving it so far. It doesn’t even look like a Gamecube game, if you told me this was a current gen game and I didn’t know anything about Metroid beforehand I would believe you. The gameplay also holds up really well. I’ve died in a lot of silly ways such as getting the morph ball stuck in lava but I’m getting better at it and the upgrades help too. I’m only about 5 hours in but I can’t wait to play more!
Splatoon 3 is my usual palette cleanser, whenever I’m not playing something different I usually play it everyday. Right now I’m currently occupied with Prime Remastered so it’ll be a bit before I go back to it. On my 3DS I like replaying Rhythm Heaven and Warioware from time to time
I don’t play Tetris 99 at all but I didn’t expect to see Xenoblade x Tetris today
@Axecon I also need to get around to doing a proper replay too (not NG+ since I’m worried about it getting stale) but I just started Metroid Prime and Splatoon 3 takes over my gaming schedule. I have to make time for my favorite game lol
Playing more Splatoon 3 as usual, I played a few rounds for the random rotation in Salmon Run last night and it was fun! Splatoon is overtaking my gaming schedule though lol. This article also reminded me to buy Prime Remastered so I need to get around to that, I haven’t been very invested in Metroid despite being the huge Nintendo fan I am
Some of the comments here are just the Squidward meme with “me and the bestie! 10 mins later can’t stand TotK’s a**!”. Anyway the worst temple for me was the Water one, the low gravity was fun but the actual temple was a pain to get through. I loved Tears and I still do but I definitely need a break from it for a while. Also the writer of this article could’ve just stated he didn’t like the Fire Temple, no need to put a code name for it when the game’s been out for over 4 months
I was planning on saving money but I think I may dip and preorder Zelda soon. With these, the Deep Cut and Noah & Mio amiibo I’m in amiibo heaven this year since they’re all part of my favorite franchises
Climax is the best out of the GBA games imo, it feels a lot more refined than GP Legend and has way more content with so many unlockables. GX is still my favorite though
Great to see we’re getting more support for the game! The new modes sound fun, hopefully survival’s going to be like death race in X. And more tracks are always good too! @solarwolf07 Probably due to Mute City and Big Blue being iconic tracks most people pick them
Splatoon 3 as usual and I’ll try to play a few races in F-Zero 99. Maybe I’ll play some GX too since I need that F-Zero itch. It’s so weird typing “F-Zero” into the games box and seeing a new entry there lol
I honestly wasn’t expecting to like this as much as I did but it’s great! Won’t be playing it often but I’ll make sure to do a few races every now and then, got kicked out of the Grand Prix last night though 😭 Also I smiled when I saw they brought back Mr. Zero (green haired guy). He’s relatively obscure so I’m glad they remembered him!
Holy crap they actually exist! Eagerly waiting a preorder announcement, I’m so excited! Glad to see they unlock the Consul armors too, if only the other 4 could get Consul outfits
Have to admit I’m still a little disappointed (still want that GX remaster 🥲) but I downloaded it and it looks like there’s a lot of love being put into the game. Since F-Zero is relatively niche I hope there’s enough people playing it to make it last a while, it would be a bad move for the franchise to die again. Besides it does look fun, I’m just glad Nintendo is finally acknowledging the series in some way!
Finally!! I wish it would release sooner but this looks amazing, the new upgrade things are an interesting mechanic too! Also wasn’t expecting to see Dedf1sh but what happened to Marina
Still debating on when I should buy this but the soundtrack for these games are great! First heard some of it in Smash when I had no idea what a Baten Kaitos was, I still need to get around to playing both games since I love Xenoblade.
I’m playing in the Splatfest for Splatoon 3! Hard to believe today marks one year since the game released, I remember launch day like it was yesterday…
@Porky When the game’s street date gets inevitably broken dataminers are probably going to go at the speed of light to look through the game’s text files to find the new VA’s name
I don’t think this deconfirms a September Direct as Nintendo holds them every year. We still need more footage of other things such as Side Order, Warioware Move It, SMRPG, etc. Nintendo always has something in store and it’s likely they’re doing this Direct on the last day of August so it doesn’t take up a majority of a general Direct. Speaking of this Direct, I’m thinking the video with Charles Nintendo mentioned will be here
Splatoon 3 as usual along with some Warioware Smooth Moves in order to prepare for Move It when it releases. It’s fun but the Wii remote controls can be frustrating to deal with
