@Anachronism Those things that you mentioned somehow make the game feel indie, but not in a good way. I feel like most indie games I tried tend to try to be really funny and casual, but it ends up being slightly off-putting to me.
That's awesome. I'm a firm believer in options. More games should have difficulty options ranging from "the game plays itself" to "this is literally unbeatable".
This event was probably the most fun anyone will ever have with the game lol.
Also, if it sells really bad, it could end up being a rare and sought after game in 30 years.
And that's why I skipped as many fights as possible and gave up on the game after finishing the last temple. I'm not interested in stressful boss fights, so I'll wait with finishing Zelda games until they add easy difficulty modes (so probably never).
Fonts can make or break a game for me, lol. I much preferred Pokémon Emerald to Pokémon Ruby not because of any postgame content but mostly because it used a much nicer font. Same reason I never wanted a Nokia phone—the font they used in their old phones just didn't sit right with me. This new pixelated font in the Final Fantasy remastered games looks sweet!
@nkarafo You're not alone. I literally don't understand what most people here are talking about lol. To me this looks like a more stressful Breath of the Wild. I wish Nintendo added accessibility features (aka easy and story difficulty modes) to Zelda games, for those that just want to relax while pressing random buttons on their controllers.
3DS was a magical console. So many great games. The console reveal with Kid Icarus still gives me goosebumps. I was blown away by the graphics and so excited to play such good looking games on the go, and in stereoscopic 3D at that.
@JohnnyMind In Poland they were airing a bunch of animes with Italian dubbing in the 90s and they were the best things ever. I still have a sweet spot for the theme songs to this day. Yattaman, Calendar Men, L'Uomo Tigre – these are the jams! 😁
I got several "foreign" Pokémon via Surprise Trade, but only two of them registered in another language in the Pokédex—one in French and one in German. None of the Japanese Pokémon I received got registered. Seems to be a bug?
It would be cool if you could download the patch before getting hold of the physical game. It used to be possible to download updates for games you didn't own on the 3DS.
It would be nice if it meant official Nintendo support in Central Europe, but I very much doubt it. At least you can buy Nintendo games in the stores now, so I guess it's an improvement to what we had 10 years ago, but still. No Nintendo Clubs or anything like that for poor "Eastern" Europe.
Does anyone know how to mute keywords for YouTube recommendations? I'm really scared I'm going to see leaked Pokémon designs thanks to jerk YouTubers putting them in their thumbnails…
I think the difficulty level is just fine. You can always make the game harder (don't use Sparks, skip most side quests until you're done with the story, play while holding the controller upside down if you have to), but you can't necessarily always make it easier. So I'm glad to see you can choose to become invincible, perhaps for only a mission or two that annoy you, and move on.
I realized today that Mario Kart 8 (the Wii U original) is older than even the first Splatoon game. And during MK8's lifespan we got three whole Splatoons. Yeah, no, I'm not buying the same experience for the third time. I don't care for minor tweaks. If Splatoon was a smartphone then everyone would advise you to wait at least 2–3 generations before buying a new version lol.
Whatever. I've played for 7–8 hours and so far I'm really enjoying the game. Haven't been in touch with Digimon since the early 2000s, so this is quite nostalgic for me. I guess this is what casual Pokémon enjoyers must feel when they try a Pokémon video game for the first time in two decades lol.
I'm afraid we actually do know most of what there is to know about Splatoon 3. I loved the first game, liked the second one but I do not plan on buying the third one.

10/10? I started playing it twice on the DS, but never got far as I got bored pretty quickly. I guess this wouldn't change in the Switch port.

Re: Poll: Which Was Your First 'Final Fantasy'?
The first one I finished: FF7 Remake. I dabbled into FF3 on the DS and FF15, but got bored pretty quickly.

Re: Random: "Walupeach" Was Almost A Thing, But Miyamoto Vetoed Before Seeing The Designs
@JohnnyMind I guess Poland couldn't afford dubbing back then lol, so we had one guy reading the Polish lines over the Italian audio track.
Re: Random: "Walupeach" Was Almost A Thing, But Miyamoto Vetoed Before Seeing The Designs
@JohnnyMind In Poland they were airing a bunch of animes with Italian dubbing in the 90s and they were the best things ever. I still have a sweet spot for the theme songs to this day. Yattaman, Calendar Men, L'Uomo Tigre – these are the jams! 😁

Whoa, I didn't expect to see Yatterman being mentioned on Nintendo Life. Shoutout to fellow Poles and Italians who grew up with this awesome cartoon.
