Re: Sonic Mania 2 Prototype Artwork Revealed By Christian Whitehead

I've said here and there but Mania is my most played switch game. I play it every few weeks, with over 165 hours in it.

I love knowing this exists because it means they are still willing to work with Sega.

Superstars never did it for me. I tried a few okay throughs and it was always just super boring and unpolished. Like there's a level where Sonic gets shot out of a pipe at the begging, for the level transition and dude just sticks the landing.

Even in this concept art the enemies here have more life than super stars by giving them a glare. The lifeless eyes are lazy and dumb in superstars.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Is Laser-Targeting Your Toddlers With This New 'My Mario' Line

As a father my sons already have a few Mario and Zelda toys. They have a banana peel plush, a Korok their Aunt made, a knitted Link doll that someone else made.

If I have an issue with this line it's that Mario isn't like cute. It's a little creepy to me when I think bout too much haha. I love the character and love the games, pretty sure our boys will be getting those blocks from me or family, but anything plushy just seems weird.

Re: Yooka-Replaylee Is Now "Content Complete"

@neil9000 i feel that especially in today's age but something of to think about was Wind Waker was like 10 years old, and so was twilight princess. Probably most underwhelming is that it's hardly been a console generation and the graphical boost isn't anywhere near as mind bending as it was in the past.

Re: Toby Fox Wants To Celebrate 10 Years Of Undertale With Your Memories

@The_Nintend_Pedant haha same.

I did play the first two chapters of Deltarune and found the gameplay and what I understood of the story well written but they did say they are going to assume you know what's going on, which I didn't haha.

I don't see me playing undertale anytime soon but it is inspiring knowing all Toby did and apparently the code is terrible making my indie developer heart feel hopeful I can release something someday.

I have Warioland, Jack Bros, Mario Tennis and Red Alarm. All are very solid titles. Super fun system. I've had to build up the eye strain muscle or something to not get a major headache after like 10~15 mins.

Re: Talking Point: With Bigger GameCube File Sizes, Should Nintendo Let Us Download Individual NSO Games?

obijuankanoobie

I casted the "it would be nice" vote but I'm glad it isn't default. I remember one of my first plane rides I was worried that maybe the NSO games wouldn't work without Internet and when I learned they are all on my system I was so grateful. So not sure I'd like to "check" all the time, probably rather that I can un download games I don't care to have for the storage.

Also Doshin the Giant needs to be added, I need to know what Alex is raving about.

Re: Best Yoshi Games Of All Time

@Exerion76 I know those aren't hot takes but yo that list would be sick to see ported over.

I think I'd rather just have a sequel to Kid Icarus, but Sakuri has said he's not much for sequels.

I do have a soft spot for "console exclusives" with these puppies trapped on old hardware but the historian in me would be grateful if it were more easily available for future generations kinda like how steam works.

Re: Random: Using A GameCube Controller With The NSO App Yields Fun Surprises

@FlyingDunsparce well technically in wind waker GC they took account for that and didn't make it a requirement to have the tingle tuner to 100% the trophy collection, even though (spoiler free here) there is additional stuff with it.

In WWHD since there is no tingle tuner you can get the previously mentioned locked trophy without the tingle tuner and it even mentions in the description of said trophy that it was offended before not being required for completion.
