@Lxlxrxzx you know the first one I could only get a few hours in but I'd recommend trying out impossible lair again. Tight platforming and an awesome soundtrack, with plenty of goofy characters.
I really don't want to tweak anything, I don't like thinking about it while I'm playing. Like if I run into a performance issue I just think that's how it is! If I had options I think I'd be upset everytime I ran into a performance issue and have to go in and fix it.
Please keep it simple for the novis, not hardcore crowd.
@Not_Soos ya the pay for shipping part always stops me dead in my tracks, it's hardly ever worth the price of what you're getting.
I don't understand how they'll print these and not the 1000 year door GC sleeve, feels like I'd care more about the quality of that then some post cards.
I love shovel knight!! So much fun. I would love a Mina release date and confirmation is coming to switch announced then. Or another Shovel knight co op game like sonic and tails. That would be sweet.
It feels like Temple of time is inevitable. But clock town would be so cool. I'd love to see them make sense of whatever happens on day 3. Also the like "light house" that it has.
Well these details are super cool. Am I glad it exists yes! Do I wish I was a kid and had time to appreciate something like this, yes. Just like the sonic sets, I'll admire them online and that's about it for the time being.
Why is this such a common occurrence? I also played like 15 or so hours a few years ago and got lost or bored and or it down and haven't touched it since. This article makes me feel encouraged, is like to try it but I have so little time to play I like to play tried and true typically.
I got a sister in law that loves the TCG, or at least likes the cards. I used to love them growing up but Im glad I no longer fascinate over them since I can't afford my current hobbies.
@Ade117 I agreed, sometimes when I start replaying a 2D Mario game I see very clearly everything missing from Mario Maker, which is nuts since there's already a ton of stuff.
HYDROCITY!!! I don't have a list of my favorite sonic zones but has to be in the top like 3 or 5. It's so good. Especially from 3 but Manias is also good.
I do want to watch it all but want to just pay for one month of paramount plus. I know the reviews were for the entire show, but can anyone confirm that the general public can watch the entire series right away? Or are they released weekly?
K I'm a little late to the party but I've never played a single final fantasy game. My wife had played like fourteen or fifteen before we got married and said she enjoyed them but said the stories were odd.
From my fellow Nintendo friends. Any recommendations for a 1st one? I'm more keen to play a 2D rather than a 3D, just cuz I like me pixels over polygons.
That was a really fun article! Inspiring as a collector to actually collect. Married and a father of 2 I get a little fun money each month that I've been saving for months now. Maybe it's time to start pulling some triggers? Thanks again for the read!
@Freek I just looked into video game plus I'll have to keep it in mind for the future!
My only problem, and maybe I'm just bitter more than anything, but I only learned about The Messenger last year and LOVED it. So I wanted to get a physical cart and limited run games had it like 5 years ago and now it's hundreds on eBay.
So like games that I'm looking forward to, like if Plucky Squire has a physical release through them I'll get it and I'm sure it'll be just fine. It's just games I learns bout years later that I get burned through them.
I've literally only played with joycon my entire time owning a switch. I mostly play Platformers and other retro like games, not really a smash bros pro. Rather spend my money on software but if I did have infinite money, this one looks pretty sweet.
My back log is pretty grande so I'm not hopping to buy any games right off the shelf especially a digital one. I got the biggest hunch this will have a physical release it's not even funny. But Mania is definitely in my top 5 favorite games of all time so I know I need to try it. Grateful for a demo!
All I ask is that I get what I paid for. For example Mario Wonder, I got what I paid for. Sonic Superstars, I should have been given a wire transfer for playing.
In all seriousness, especially Nintendo, I trust them to treat me right. Even though Satori isn't there anymore his legacy still echos from the 3DS days. I feel like I'm well taken care of a customer. Maybe make sure all remakes/remasters are all like $40, but other than that i cant complain.
I've had 4 on my wish list for a while I grew up on 1 & 2 on GC. I remember really enjoying them both. I've literally never heard or played the 3rd one but considering the story of the first two I don't think I'll be lost jumping to the 4th. Its definitely made me more interested now that it's got a physical release coming.
I had no idea this existed and probably wouldn't have used it but it sure feels right, have Pokemon available to watch just on the switch. Would have loved that for my kids, when they are old enough.
I feel like a vacuum is forming, GameStop hasn't been hardly anyone's first pick for years. My hope is that a new chain, or a smaller existing chain, that's kind of everything we love about our smaller retro stores, steps up. Better environment, deals, employees. I know it would hurt a lot of people in GameStop fell that like work there, but for the industry, I think it would make things better.
Or GameStop takes a 180 I'd be happy with that too. It's happened before, like subway stepping up their game like a decade ago.
I think the ugly weapons in ToTK really pull me out of it, and alot of enemies just look worse because their Horns need to be used for weapons. Also not addressing where the Shieka tech went still leaves me feeling weird. I like ToTK story a lot more but over all BOTW is where it's like to be, Even if it is "smaller."
@LUIGE I agree both were great but I definitely find myself going to Wonder more than Zelda. I spent like 400+ hours over a few playthrough of BOTW so ToTK sometimes feels a little too samie. Or at least doesn't draw me back quite like a "new" place to explore like Mario wonder has.
I've been playing Earthbound beginnings which as described in the review here is a bit "Grindy" but I feel like I've spent much more time grinding in a Pokemon game before. Plus with the rewind function I'm able to save my skin a lot more and waste less time than if I just let my team mates die. So far it's a good, would recommend. It is a long one so far. I don't even think I'm halfway done and my NSO says I've sunk something 400+ minutes into the game so like 6+ hours already.
I don't think I'll be too broken up. As a guy like not on social media aside from here and YouTube, I miss the weird miiverse bottles from Wind Waker HD. Hope they do something weird like that again in a re release.
So funny what they choose to bring over there's a ton of people screaming from a lot of other 3DS games making it clear we'd pay $60 but this lil guy I will not pick up, unfortunately I want them to bring over more 3DS titles but not this one.

Re: 'Yooka-Replaylee' Brings Back Playtonic's Love Letter To Banjo In Remastered Form
@RupeeClock why do you think they'd take out shovel knight? Like the deal ran out like Mike Tyson and Punch out? Or is there something I don't know.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?
When you can really only buy second hand, I say it's retro. No new retail releases, unless you're a crazy cool indie dev that does that sort of thing.

A Link Between Worlds
Sonic Mania
Can play those two games about endlessly. If I were on a desert island and could pick two games it'd be those.

Re: Strayed Lights Is Getting A Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Open Soon
It sure looks neat! It's a little hard committing to a limit run games purchase with a game I don't know well.
Probably my famous last words, darn limited run games. Making me regret my decisions because I'm poor.

I'd say it's pretty similar to Luigi's mansion in that it's just like odd action adventure?

Re: Nintendo Places In "Top 10" Of Metacritic's 14th Annual Game Publisher Rankings

Re: Random: Pokémon Fans Reckon They've Spotted A Legends: Z-A Teaser In Scarlet & Violet
Ya pretty sure this is just a sad case of modern game freak just being lazy and recycling fake text. Unless it does translate to something.
I doubt they are trying to hint at future games when they can't finish a game before it's released as is.
