Cancel culture has gotten out of hand!

Arby’s and Cuphead toys...how...random!

@Bizzyb your comment has made me consider playing a BotW after Okami. I just didn’t want to get burned out on these types of games. What you said about getting lost in the world and discovering new things has me reconsidering my decision!

One thing that I always tell people about Okami, I love how I get lost in the world and I rarely play it in docked mode! 😂 I love wondering around figuring out what’s next. That feeling you get when you finally figure it out. How satisfying it feels to use the celestial brush in combat. Being ok with grinding because of the rewards for doing so. The feeling that I’m witnessing magic when I see a level blossom with life. Throwing in a new enemy when you start to long for change. Surprising new or changes to familiar environments. I could go on and on. OH, and the score!!!!! 😍

It’s just a brilliant game that has shown me why I’ve seen people say, “I envy anybody who gets to experience Okami for the first time!”

I wish US numbers were still released. It makes these kinds of articles more fun to read.

Looks like Nintendo has a GTA 4 on their hands with BotW. I’ve never played BotW, but I’m currently 10 hours into Okami (INCREDIBLE!) and it’s made me thirsty for these types of games! I plan on playing BotW once I beat Okami and another game.

For those against this game, what about Dream and Little Big Planet. Heck, Roller Coaster Tycoon!

@Cool_Squirtle While I’ve liked quite a bit of his work over the years, what your saying makes total sense.

@Kev_Morrison Sounds like you have a dislike for him beyond his work. Why such strong words? Just asking out of curiosity.

@muscpt Ok. I see that you don’t care for him, too! Why? I’m asking because I’ve heard people say that they don’t care for his work, but I don’t recall people saying that they dislike him as a person.

Sunshine. I didn’t care for it back in the day. Never finished it. At some point in the game, the high wire balancing acts and the camera effectively killed my joy. The only Mario game I haven’t finished.

@CasNicks I forgot about the controls. It’s part of what made the high wire platforming so frustrating! Having to start aaaaallllllll the way back at the bottom was so frustrating! I remember being particularly annoyed with the theme park section, too.

I’d settle for part 2. This game broke my heart back in the day. I played part 1 for three days straight! My anticipation was high! The bugs hurt. I loved this series prior to part 3. A theme park management game and NOBODY rides the rides?! 🤨

Happy to see that Mario 3D World is getting another chance with a bigger audience. For many, I bet that game was a nice surprise, seeing how many didn’t even know that the WiiU existed!

I remember when the direct dropped. I saw that it wasn’t trending. 🤔 I later on saw that it was #1. That made more sense! 😂

My take from this article... It seems that Nintendo peaked from launch, going into 2019. What I wonder, is it the world that has made me not realize this? Things moving so fast. Or, has Nintendo created a great setup with the Switch and its third party and indie content, that the lean months aren’t as bad compared to the N64 days? 🤷🏾‍♂️

@luxoricious Co-sign! Was my favorite game until I played Odyssey. Now Starfox 64 on the other hand... 😞

Lots of merch and third party indie games being announced these days. 😴 All of the stuff Nintendo has done with places like this or Vans has been awful. I don’t get how large meetings are held and the merch they come up with is considered ok. 🤷🏾‍♂️

To be honest, none of the games announced in recent times have piqued my interest. I hate to be one of those Nintendo system owners but, with Nintendo staying so silent, the third party announcements aren’t doing it for me at the moment. I need some Nintendo goodness thrown into the mix for me to care. I only feel that way about Nintendo. Sony can stay silent, and, although they make great first party titles, I would be ok with that. The strength and appeal to Nintendo’s systems are their games. Even though I’m thoroughly enjoying the third party games. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I still wonder if, had this pandemic never hit, would this have been a slow year for Nintendo. If E3 happened, would we have gotten a lot of, “for 2021” announcements, with a couple of things for us this year. That would include the Mario 3D remastered collection.

That thumbnail pic is playing dirty, Nintendolife! I come to the site and it’s the first thing I see, only to realize it’s a POLL!!! 😞😂

Journey made me cry a few times.

I remember this being on a list of bad decisions made during the GameCube era. People were SO hurt and disappointed! At this point, I never thought I’d see the day when a full Final Fantasy game would be on a Nintendo system again.

I’ve always wondered if this virus had not happened, would 2020 have looked a lot different for Nintendo? Yes, the world has been turned upside down, but their lack of content and communication with the public had been interesting. I wonder if E3 would have happened, would it have been a disappointment? Lots of, “for 2021” announcements.

Wasn’t Sega suppose to be announcing Sonic news every month? Have they been doing that? Or has that time passed?

There has been a lot of announcements about Nintendo merch in recent times. Three months left and still no game announcements. I’m wondering what will the 2021 lineup will look like, given the drought during 2020. I wonder, had this virus not happened, would 2020 have looked like this. It feels a bit like the 64 era these days,

I saw the thumbnail pic and thought Switch had its own Everwild! 😂

The fact that people look down on Super Paper Mario makes me want to checkout the latest entry. I loved that game and had no idea people felt a ways about it until Origami King came out. I wonder had I not known about how people felt about OK, would I have been so reluctant to play it.

@Bon_Kurei 😂 Right!

As usual, Nintendo innovates. A few years down the line here comes, “LOOK, US TOO!”

@StephenYap3 Did you get around to playing Origami King? If so, thoughts?

@Coach_A my first thought after reading the first paragraph. How could they start the article that way. 🤷🏾‍♂️

My eyes literally went 😳 when I scrolled down and saw the hardware sales! 😂

@VegasKeith CO-SIGN!!!! I was even considering getting Star Valley.

I literally was playing Dr. Mario last night on my Switch. It was the first time in YEARS! I had no idea. Funny how I got cocky and thought, so easy. It turned into a game of Tetris. 😂

I LOVED Super Paper Mario! It was in the comments section of some story, I got the impression that it’s not well like. Surprising to me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@Crockin Right! It’s always tripped me out to read about it.

@jump Maybe that’s just it. They’ve discovered a new way to communicate with the public. Like a lot of things, Nintendo related, the competition is catching on to something Nintendo has popularized, while they are ready to move on. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@Bunkerneath there’s a 3D Picross game.

Double down and social distancing. Two buzzwords that I can’t wait to go, oh yea, I remember when everybody was saying that! 😞

@jarvismp Since the PS3/360 era, I’ve been wondering why people go nuts over the yearly EA games. I’m thinking, am I missing something since I’m on the outside looking in? I haven’t played Madden since the Sega Genesis, so...🤷🏾‍♂️😂

I always forget about this part of their business. My sister recently asked me if I play games on my phone. I was like, I have no interesting in playing Fruit Ninja type games when I can play Mario and Zelda on the go! 🤨

Looking at the first screenshot, I have a question for you guys. Would you like that level of realism in a Mario game, in terms of graphics?

And Switch owners lose their collective minds! 😂

So they got this game on track? Didn’t it start off strong, only for EA to drop the ball and alienate the audience at one point? Or was that another game like this? I know Fortnite is still going strong.

@TG16_IS_BAE I appreciate the info. I no longer have knowledge of the emulation world. It’s been years since I’ve downloaded and emulator. Wouldn’t know where to go. I think companies rereleasing their back catalogs played a role in that.

@Shiryu Sorry! I jumped the gun and commented before reading the review! Obviously, right?! 😂 Seeing the review brought back memories and sent me straight to the comment section! 😂 🤷🏾‍♂️

@nilcam YES! Thank you!

I wonder if it’s aged well.

Loved these games, but I was never good at them.

I used to love these games. The last one I played, before I lost interest in this genre, was a game developed by, I think, Square. I came out during the PSone or PS2 era. It began with an E, I think. It was a big deal back in the day. It was a lot of fun.

OMG!!! Seeing this brought back Might Max memories!!!

I literally just stopped playing Tetris 99, outside on the patio, during the wee hours of the morning!!! I downloaded the game a couple of months ago. I decided to play it because I just wanted to chill and listen to the latest Joe Rogan podcast. HOLY COW!! I didn’t think it would be so addicting! I listened to the whole three hour podcast while playing! I wonder what it’s like for children raised on this game, who decide to go back and play the original. It’s like me and the original Sonic and Sonic 2. Both of those games are from my childhood, but it’s always been hard for me to play the original after playing Sonic 2.

@mesome713 Now THAT’S something I rarely see. Especially on a Nintendo dedicated website! 😂

Love the thumbnail pic for this story!
