Re: Talking Point: In 2023, Do You Still Care About amiibo?

I think they’re awesome, but would like to see new ones. Like, it doesn’t seem like any of the splatoon ones are really different, besides the squid and inkling.
I’d like to see like a new Star Fox game, and amiibos for the team.
Or maybe a new F-Zero, with a bunch of those characters.
Or even just odd ball characters getting one. Make a Pushmo amiibo with collection release for Switch. Or Dillon the armadillo!

Re: Poll: What Was The Best Wii U Launch Game?

mattesdude

I forgot how strong of a launch lineup the WiiU had. If only they could’ve kept up the momentum!

My top pick is ZombiU. Though NintendoLand deserves a mention as well. That is pretty much my only reason to return to the system anymore.

Re: WarioWare-Inspired 'Atari Mania' Will Be Gracing Your Switch Next Month

@dimi There are much worse licensed games, imho. ET isn’t that bad…there are a couple poor design choices (the constant falling into pits), but you gotta remember when this came out. The game is actually quite deep (as deep as those pits!) for a 2600 game! Also, if you read the manual, the game made more sense.

Short story: ET gets too much hate.

Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The September 2022 Nintendo Direct?

Pretty good, I must say! Zelda will be cool, though The mastered ports would’ve been a real treat. Some nice surprises, like Tales and TheTheatrhythm.

A Mario sequel would’ve blown this out of the sky, but going on 6 years into the Switch’s life, I’d expect that is being made for Switch2.

Excellent output from Square though, I must say! I haven’t liked Square so much since the’90s!

Re: Best Mario Kart Games Of All Time

Like others said, this isn’ta bad list. I would also make changes for my own, notably increasing snes and gba entries, while lowering n64 and Wii. And then probably swap ds and 3ds.

Re: Feature: Every Pokémon Game Narrative, Ranked From Best To Worst

mattesdude

I loved Gen 1, but skipped 2. I couldn’t get into 3 when I tried. I thought my Pokémon days were over. Eventually, I bought Pokemon White on a whim. I loved it! It’s reignited my love for the games which lasts to this day!

While I agree it does have the best story of all the gens, I think the thing that helped me get into it, was that it was a totally brand new set of Pokémon. It was amazing. Then you beat the game, and bam, a ton of older Pokémon were available!
