Re: Police Confirm That YouTuber Desmond "Etika" Amofah Has Died

I'm in shock right now. When the Switch was first announced, I loved watching his reaction videos for how fun and over-the-top they were. As he got more erratic, I stopped watching, but I never thought something like this could happen.

Anyone, if you're struggling, please please please get help. I promise you have no idea how many people love you. RIP.

2017 was by far my favorite year.

It was the best combination of oddball picks (BotW shield surfing! Homerun Contest!), without the gimmicky team challenges like Blast Ball in 2015. Plus the Underground is SOOO hype with actual speedruns of games. Yes it was over 4 hrs long, but it was worth every minute. 2015 was still a lot of fun too.

Ranking: 2017 > 2015 >>>> 2019 (never watched the original 1990)

Re: Get A One-Year Nintendo Switch Online Sub With Your Twitch Prime Membership

wariofart

Yooo. That's basically a free $20 for people who already have Prime. Thanks Amazon!

EDIT: Okay, now that I redeemed the code, I found a few caveats that might explain why they're doing such a generous promo:

  • You have to sign up for auto-renewal to redeem this.
    If someone misses the 30 day window they have to get the 9 months once it's active 60 days in, Nintendo gets a paid sub.
  • This can bump up Nintendo's lagging numbers.
    Not sure, but Nintendo might be using this as a last ditch effort to increase their NSO subscription numbers before their fiscal year earnings report in a month (Apr 28th). It's been hinted subs haven't been what Nintendo was expecting, so what better way than to give it away for free?

Re: Feature: Every Nintendo Console Ranked From Worst To Best

wariofart

Here's my pitchfork:

  • DS is ranked WAY too low. It probably has the best library of any Nintendo handheld; the amount of 1st and 3rd party exclusives is just STAGGERING.
  • SNES is 100% deserving of the #1 spot, and putting anything else is almost sacrilegious as a Nintendo fan. You could make a case the top 3-5 games of all time are from that system
  • Switch as #1? Recency bias delusion. The console's in 2018 with barely functioning paid online, no Virtual Console, badly organized eShop, etc. Check in 5 years from now and we'll see if it deserves the top spot.

Re: Video: Super Mario Party's Online Mode Is A Real Party Pooper

I really was excited to buy this game, but the more little things like this I learn about it, the less excited I am. At first, it was enough to have me hold off on a pre-order, now I'm even questioning if I should buy at all.

Give us OPTIONS Nintendo. Sakurai's mindset should be standard for all Ninty games

Re: Soapbox: Playing Super Mario Sunshine Today Painfully Illustrates Nintendo's 3D Evolution

wariofart

Unpopular opinion, but I agree with the author. Super Mario is my favorite series, and Sunshine is the ONLY installment I couldn't get into.

The camera and controls are just far too frustrating to try and devote the time. I remember this one stage where you had to climb up it vertically, and after one too many times falling all the way down because I couldn't see, I just stopped playing the game.

I still hope that Nintendo does a remake of this game though, as I think if they spent the time to fix the camera and tighten the controls, I would love this game.

Thank you Nintendo gods!! I've been meaning to buy Shovel Knight for a long time, but kept waiting for a sale. Today I finally gave up, thinking I need to buy it before the price rises for Treasure Trove. And lo and behold when I booted up the eShop, it was on sale!
