Re: Preview: 'Yoshi And The Mysterious Book' Is More Than Just A Pretty Face

Nintendo completely dropped the ball with this licence it seems.

At least this one looks like it has some potential and it could be some kind of curiosity. But yeah, gone are the days of Yoshi's Island and it's marketing campaign where Nintendo said things like "the best game ever is not on 32 bits". No Yoshi game has had this kind of ambition behind it ever since.

Re: "A Big Miscalculation On My Part" – Hideki Kamiya On Leaving Bayonetta 3 Up To Interpretation

I'm pretty sure Bayo4 was about Viola going to save Bayo. I hope the series will get a proper follow up.

Also I thought Bayo was dead but knew in this multiverse context it didn't mean much and it would have been really easy to reintroduce another Bayo in the next game anyway.

I would have been fine with Viola taking the lead though. I kind of hoped this was a bold move and Bayo was really dead and they were going to go with an older more mature and "bayonified" Viola in the next game both in terms of personality and design. That would have been the perfect way to deal with this situation imo.

I played it with friends and yes it was really good fun. Giving players different arenas to play around with, with different classic modes like dogfight, team or simple death match, capture the flag, different types of objectives etc, air/air and air/ground arenas... and there you go you've got a winner.

Plus the solo in Assault was also nice and at least tried something new with its story. Honestly I think they have a really good basis to expand upon.

Re: Best Animal Crossing Games Of All Time

I really thought Welcome to Animal Crossing would be ranked lower. I'm really glad it's not!

That being said, I can get behind any ranking for the main four. GC/DS/3DS/NS1 can all be ranked in any order depending on a mix between nostalgia and personal preferences and that's fine.

I'm back and forth on that one. They're both really good games. I replayed DKC3 recently and it was a real redemption arc for that game as far as I'm concerned. It's not as good overall as the others but it's such a unique and special game in a lot of different ways. It was some sort of proto collectathon that prefigured what was to come for Rare.

Yeah if Fortune's Weave has Engage gameplay with Three Houses flair, that is if it DOESN'T have the enormous focus on social sim form TH and the ridiculous design and lackluster story from Engage, then we're in for a good one.
