Re: Soapbox: The 'Recharged' Series Proves Atari Is No Longer A Spent Force

@Tempestryke they put out a new IP, Mr Run and Jump, which is a great precision platformer, and a rougelite Days of Doom, which I haven't tried yet. They rebooted Haunted House as a stealth rougelite which I really enjoyed, all three on Switch. They've got reboots of Food Fight, Sprint and Lunar Lander on the way too. There's also the micro-game style Atari Mania, and the goregous Tempest 4000 and Akka Arrh, all on Switch.

Re: Best Nintendo Pinball Games

I would love to see a super polished "Nintendo Pinball Museum" type game on Switch with original tables based on all the key franchises, a cool way to present Nintendo history. Throw in a Hanafuda pinball table for good measure.

Re: Countdown: Wii U eShop Spotlight - Year Walk

I am one of the oddballs who purchased a Wii U in January 2023, having grabbed it on impulse for cheap while I still had a few weeks to scoop up eShop games. I would have liked to grab this one, but it's sadly delisted.

Re: Gallery: Nintendo Uploads New Mario Movie Posters

@Serpenterror I would prefer the character depictions to be visually consistent with their past representations. As others have mentioned here, the visual aesthetic of CGI movie characters isn't as charming as how these characters have appeared in games.

Re: Soapbox: Paper Mario: Sticker Star Was When The Series Came Unstuck

I've only played Origami King. It began charmingly enough, but my enjoyment waned with the repetitive gameplay and dragging length. I was relieved when I finally completed it and I never wanted to play it again. The earlier entries are universally praised and I wonder how they differ from the newer ones.

Re: Poll: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Almost Here, So Have You Completed BOTW Yet?

I got my Switch in late 2019 and only began my first playthrough in February. I knew it was the system's standout game so I wanted to play some other titles first before digging in, which I don't regret.

I'm really taking my time with it. I've got around 175 hours and one more Divine Beast to go. I've got 400+ koroks, 100 shrines done, max stamina and many hearts. Absolutely love it. Best Switch game and one of the best-designed games ever.

I doubt I will 100% it by the time TOTK releases, but my goal is to have beaten the game and completed all shrines by then.

Re: Chris Pratt Has Seen The Super Mario Movie Teaser, Says He's "Blown Away"

Video game movies are not my cup of tea. Even if this one is well received, I would have personally preferred a new 3D Mario game instead of a movie.

That said, Nintendo will probably earn a lot of money from this movie. I hope that whatever changes occur to the Mario series via the movie do not spill over into the game universe. Charles Martinet will always be Mario to me.

Re: Nintendo Announces End Date For Dragalia Lost

I tried this out of curiosity. Definitely the most "mobile game" feeling of Nintendo's mobile outings. There's a generous amount of voiced story content and the combat loop is simplistic enough to play one with hand and fun enough. But the convoluted menus and currency systems were tedious and plainly not fun.

I'd rather just buy the game at a standard retail price and unlock gachas through progression rather than deal with the overly complicated free-to-play in-game economy. This is why I generally avoid mobile games. If Draglia Lost can be "consolized" I would give it another go.
