Re: Best Rune Factory Games Of All Time

I'm surprised guardians of azuma is number one. Might just be recency bias, as I would rate 3 and 4 above it comfortably. They are all very good games, but guardians of azuma just had so much tutorialisation and bordered on style over substance in areas. Honestly, after 20 hours, I feel completely done with it even with the story only 1/2 finished.
Interesting to see what is popular though

Re: Talking Point: How Can The Next Animal Crossing Improve Crafting?

tanaka2687

Might be controversial, but I'm against QOL and mass-creating features in Animal Crossing. Yes, it would make it easier, but it would also sort of dilute the fun of the game itself. Slowly working your way through the game is the point, and it's the way I have fun with it. If I could grind myself through the game in one go by mass crafting things, buying everything from shops or even through microtransactions, I wouldn't enjoy AC nearly as much. I understand the desire, but I think it works so well for this sort of slow-paced game.

Re: Best Nintendo 64 Platformers - Every N64 3D Platformer, Ranked By You

As someone who never played Banjo Kazooie (or any N64 game) as a child, going back and playing games like Mario 64, DK 64, Goemon (especially Goemon), and Conker are a real treat. But playing Banjo Kazooie just wasn't enjoyable in any way. I won't try and tell anybody they're wrong but it's interesting that Banjo is above Mario?
Won't try and argue that there is big fun to be had here, however. :L

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Direct To Take Place Later This Month

tanaka2687

Whenever I hear a '''''leak''''''' like this, I begin hoping that they are wrong with all my being. Leaking and rumour-mongering will always happen but I yearn for a future where these people are ignored and we can all just wait patiently for actual news.
But I am a dreamer.

Re: Watch A Full Match Of Mario Strikers: Battle League From Nintendo France

I mean... Is it just me that is struggling to see anything new about this one in comparison to the old ones. I'm doubting there is much single player stuff to do and considering how disappointed I was with golf and aces, I can't justify picking this up regardless of how much I enjoyed the previous entries. Underwhelming to me but I'm sure other people will find something to enjoy, especially if you haven't played a GameCube or a Wii.

Re: MotoGP 22 Confirmed For Switch Release This April

@Fairburne prior entries are fine but much better on other systems.

Splitscreen isn't coming to he switch version, according to their website anyway. Great series but just isn't viable on switch without adaptive triggers for throttle and braking

Re: Talking Point: Who Is Nintendo Going To Buy? Don't Be Shocked If The Answer Is "Nobody"

tanaka2687

I'm not a massive fan of huge corporations (because of course) but I understand why buying a game studio can be both good and bad. Honestly, just for the potential positives that come with it, I would like to see a closer relationship between Sega and Nintendo but people willing a company to buy out another one is bizarre. Maybe instead of buying a company, an exclusivity contract could be struck or something. I dunno. It's a weird world now, man.
