@nessisonett idk man, it feels like cheating. I think the best thing to do is to give the player a special costume (for cosmetic purposes of course) that doesn't count toward 100% completion. All other uses feel cheap.
What a shame, I feel so bad for everyone who worked so incredibly hard on this. It was super imaginative and worth success. I think it’s partially due to the durability of it all. If you could construct something with plastic like lego, I think it could have had a better chance in the market.
It really is a shame that they couldn't keep it as relevant as the first game. I feel like they hurt themselves by removing all the energy and wackiness that the first game had. Perhaps the Wii U really was the perfect system for the game and it was just too difficult to replicate the experience on the switch.
Either way, it sucks to see this even though I didn't play many of the Ninji Speedruns, it just represents Nintendo letting go of what was a great game with a greater community.
Among us on the switch feels very clean compared to the other versions. Controlling the game with a controller feels so much more natural and smooth. I'm also pretty sure that the framerate is better than on mobile. The only downside to the switch version though is typing with randoms (which can be worked around via wireless keyboard). Otherwise, this is the definitive version for me.
So does anyone know if the time travel at the beginning of the game is creating a new timeline? If it ends where they defeat the calamity I feel like that would ruin it for me. My hope is that this is exactly what happened before BOtW. I'll probably wait for the game to go on sale if that isn't the case.
@Deltath yeah you're right, I should rephrase, it didn't do great relative to most mario games. It did well for a video game but idk that it lived up to Nintendo's expectations.
Never played a warriors game but this game keeps looking better and better! It would be kinda nice though if they made a pre-release demo so I can get a feel for the gameplay. That's probably the only thing that has kept me from pre-ordering it yet.
@Snatcher if you decide to pick up the game don't give up in the first few hours. I remember putting the game down because it wasn't clear what my goal was but a year later I picked it back up and once I got things rolling, the game was fantastic. Definitely recommend.

$40 for an 8-hour game seems a bit too much for me, eBay can help me with that one though.
Re: Splatoon 3 Was Just Announced, But Splatoon 2 Isn't Done Just Yet
It's hard to believe that they simultaneously developed Splatoon 3 AND kept frequent updates coming at a constant rate in Splatoon 2. Very impressive.
Re: Talking Point: So, What Are The Chances We'll See A 'New' Nintendo Switch In 2021?

Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying The Cloud Version Of Hitman 3 On Nintendo Switch?
Cloud gaming on switch, to me, sounds pretty neat. But I wouldn't get this game anyway, even if I had a good PC.

Re: Hands On: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Makes You Wish You Didn't Know How It Ends
So does anyone know if the time travel at the beginning of the game is creating a new timeline? If it ends where they defeat the calamity I feel like that would ruin it for me. My hope is that this is exactly what happened before BOtW. I'll probably wait for the game to go on sale if that isn't the case.
Re: The Origami King Is Now The Fastest-Selling Paper Mario Game Ever
