Me and a buddy used to play MK Wii almost ritualistically while getting drunk with Wii wheels. I cannot count how many times we whacked ourselves in the mouth jerking the wheel up to trick.
For some reason had the urge to reinstall Darksiders 2 and I'm loving it despite some jankyness. I only played for 3 hours before moving on before, no idea why.
Also Fortnite and Overwatch as usual. Getting pretty good at Widowmaker in handheld mode. Most satisfying way to hear the Dink sounds for a headshot kill.
I had a lot of fun with Black Ops on the Wii. Sure it was garbage compared to other versions but it did hold up well and definitely was unique using the gimmick controls.
Plus those were the golden age of internet so you could play online with a modded Wii without bans.
@nomither6 I mean good for you? Personally I could never go back sitting there glued to a computer to play Overwatch now I can play it on the s***er.
Was much better than I expected it to be. Couldn't finish either Sonic movies but this was at least enough of a visual feast that it made up for the lack of any story.
I thought Pratt did a pretty good job, I didn't even notice it was him after I stopped trying to listen for it. Seth Rogan was absolutely ass, as expected. Big names over actual talent is a dumb way to cast, but that's Hollyweird. Same with Anya Joyless. She made Peach unbearable due to not remembering this is an animated film and to make her voice also...animated. It didn't help that I found her facial animations much weirder looking than the others.
Jack Black was clearly the star of the show (besides the song, wtf that was horrible and I'm a HUGE Tenacious D fan, so I'm used to his style of singing and usually love it) though. Wish my man Charlie got a bit more of actual speaking lines since he fits Luigi well. The Lumalee was probably my favorite even if it was voiced by the co-directors daughter (that nepotism is rampant), she did a better job than some of the "big names".
Overall I'd say it was a 7.5 due to it being so easy on the eyes despite the bad casting and bare minimum of all plots. Pleasantly surprised it wasn't pushing the woke agenda at all either, which is rare these days.
Was expecting the obvious 10 but guess that's limited to Nintendo game reviews only? Guess it must be really bad to still get a 6 even with the big N bonus points since they seem to like Sonic movies and those were utter trash.
Will pick this up someday. Usually I go digital but will have to wait for a physical sale on this one since it has to be a massive file, even before all these updates...$37 is a bit too high though for such an old game.
I remember Best Buy having a crazy big set up with multiple consoles and displays and all sorts of huge promotional items when this game came out. I decided it wasn't for me right there though, I need some exploring to go with my monster enslavement.
So stupid to act like these are sales anymore. Just make the 5 year old games permanently 33% off and stop acting like this is some sort of actual good deal Nintendough.
Thought it was pretty cheesey. I'd had already listened to the Ultimate Video Game History (or something like that) audiobook so I was already familiar with the actual story, so made this a bit more interesting seeing how laughable some of the 'drama' aspects were.
Was better than I expected for a movie about Tetris though, which isn't saying too much.
Lol are people going to buy these to stick in their closet hoping for the offchance that in 20 years (if we still have things like electricity and a non-radioactive planet) they can make a whole $100?
So they got the most useless "comedian" to..not even bother to work at the job he's getting millions of dollars to do?
Only actual talent they got is Charlie Day and Jack Black. The rest they just hired whoever was popular at the moment. Disgusting way to go about "art".
Weird that they haven't noticed that basically every other game that tries to be live service yet charges full retail for the base game has failed horribly.
Pick a lane (haha racing pun) and go f2p with paid passes or be a normal retail game.
Ah yes BUY an image animator to use on a 3DS or just use the Pixelart site where everything is instantly backed up with more options on another handheld device I'm sure people own..
Is that game world not going to be a vast expanse of nothing-to-do-ness again?
They better do quite a bit to make the world feel alive and not a generic place with random Hyrule stuff slapped in again. Hell, for a $70 expansion pack, they better do A LOT.

Re: Super Mario Movie Secures Most Successful Opening Weekend For Any Animated Film, Ever
I'm sure they'll sequel it out to death now since that's all entertainment can do these days.
Wish they'd do one based on Galaxy with Rosalina as she's the best Mario girl.

Definitely Lumalee and it's accurate description of the state of the world and how one should feel about taking part in it's day to day activities.
Re: Video: Jack Black Performs Bowser's Mario Movie Song 'Peaches'
Huge JB and Tenacious D fan but God that was an awful attempt at a song just to have JB sing in his signature style. Didn't fit at all.
Re: New Advance Wars Switch Overview Trailer Introduces The Basics Of Battle
Nintendo, maybe you missed the notice but the war you delayed this game for is still going on...do you no longer care about offending people??

Re: Soapbox: Nobody Does 'More Of The Same' Better Than Nintendo

Re: Eiji Aonuma On Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom: Expect New Gameplay That Will Change The Game World
