@Anti-Matter Haha yeah you being different is an understatement.. Putting Sticker Star as one of your favourites and the Galaxy ones as some of your least favourites is one hell of an opinion.
It's gorgeous, and I had it pre-ordered.. But I cancelled it last week. I figured I really did not need it, even though the coloration is beautiful. Got me Mario Party Jamboree, Astro Bot and it's special controller and DQ11 S instead for that same money
@deecas Yeah, being forced to do most if not all the side quests to advance is what drove me away from the DLC.. Oh well, the base game was mid at best too, so I wasn't really expecting much from the DLC anyway.
Mostly Animal Crossing New Horizons! I've been feeling down a bit lately, so I figured making a third and final island on my secondary Switch Lite would be the perfect cure. I name all my islands of games/places that I revist more than once a year. My first one's called Hyrule, secondary one Crossbell and this third and final one Hogwarts!
Also finishing up SM3D World and then starting Bowser's Fury!
@Orpheus79V Ohh yeah, you're right!! It's possible that the ''nose'' Eclipse Cannon isn't even visible at the angle that we've seen.. or that it's able to retract itself into the colony!
This is looking fantastic!! Oh yeah, this really is happening!! I have ONE concern though; we didn't see the ARK at all in the trailer. Is it even going to be in the movie? I really hope so, though what we've seen so far is already fantastic
Absolutely. Nintendo is the only one I still have faith in; Microsoft doesn't care about their console, Sony only releases generic open world games and live service games (With a few exceptions of course; Really happy with Astro Bot releasing in two weeks).. Nintendo's the only one that still has some soul and dignity left. I would happily even pay 600 or 700 or selling my PS5 if it means getting to play more Mario or Zelda.
Metal Overlord?! Damn, haven't seen this dude in over 20 years. This is shaping up to be one hell of a game... IF they can pull it off. I'm still highly sceptical.
Bah, Limited Run Games... Shame, it really does look like an excellent collector's edition; shame it's being done by such a shady and annoying company.
Yep, typical Level 5 release where it gets delayed again and again.. Yikes. Well, if it gets delayed AGAIN after this, then consider my interest gone
On the other hand, there's quite a few games releasing this October anyway.. the game would've been buried and forgotten if it did release then. Let's just hope we don't have to wait TOO long.
The Switch is one hell of a console. Imagine going back to 1990 and telling people there will be a Nintendo console in the future where you can play games that last for 80 hours.. or even more
Damn, seven years?? Still a fantastic game though, and probably the only decent Sonic game of the last ten years or so. I really hate how they just didn't make a Mania 2 and instead we got that trashy Superstars.. which is easily one of the worst 2D Sonic's, right up there with the Game gear titles
Oh wow, it's fantastic!! And, like Somnambulance said, DKC3 gets WAY too much hate; the game is just as good as the second one. The second game is still better, but the third easily comes second!
My word, what the heck is up with Dogi? I mean, I know this game takes place far before Monstrum Nox does but.. wow he looked so old in that game where here, he barely looks 15 or something haha!
Eh, I don't know. I WANT to be excited, but after being let down by the previous two 3D Zelda's, I'm not sure what to expect of this one. I hate not knowing where to go directly; I need directions. I really, really can't and won't make my own - which is probably why I struggled with BOTW/TOTK so much.
A 100 perfect score for SMW2 Yoshi's Island? Haha yeah, I don't flipping think so. Decent game, but that baby brings the score easily down to 90 - plus some of the level design is also quite horrid so.. a 8 at most, 7 worst.
I just finished Sonic Origins, so i'll be playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3; I need to finish this one - plus its DLC - so i'm starting it over.. and actually finishing it this time!
For the rest, I'm playing..
Shame. Tears of the Kingdom is better.. Not by much, mind you, but still better than Breath of the Wild.
Really do hope they go back to the old formula though. I finished OoT, TP and WW countless times whereas I can't even be bothered to finish BotW or TOTK once..
@KingdomTears "Genre defining" Uhu... if you call generic, run wherever you want with no clear goal and annoying weapon breaking mechanics, bad voice acting and a dull soundtrack ''genre defining''.
I still really don't understand what people see in BotW. I wish I could say it wasn't a bad game.. but I genuinly think it's one of the worst Zelda's out there.
Donkey Kong for me personally; I also loved the franchise - it's my favourite ever - and while I don't like the fact we've only been getting remakes.. at least the franchise isn't complete dead, unlike F-Zero or Starfox
Three Houses, very very easily. I absolutely loved it, which is why I bought Engage.. only to find cringe dialogue, atrocious character design, lame story.. and a really weird and small hub world. Like, what happend?! Engage is definitely my most disliked game of the last few years and my least favourite Switch title. It's horrendous... it's the Sticker Star of Fire Emblem haha
I'm really curious what Nintendo's next flagship console is going to be, but I can wait a little longer. Still having alot of fun with the Switch; probably put in twice as much time in this console in comparison to the PS5
@ShonenJump121 Or even part of the Paper Mario franchise.. at least, that's how I see it. Everything after Super is part of the ''False Paper Mario'' trilogy.. and that includes Origami King
@larryisaman Ah that's okay. Different strokes for different blokes (I think that's how the saying goes?) I personally don't care for the story in modern Zelda titles (Aside from Skyward Sword).
@link3710 Black Knight still has the best story of them all imo. Living in the limited time you have, with friends and family.. best lesson of all. But yes, the Adventure games follow very closely, and then lastly Unleashed.. before it all went kaput.
Aside from Mania and Generations, pretty much every mainline Sonic game after Black Knight sucked monkeyballs.
@fenlix Blame the writers for that one; Pontac and Graff have nearly ruined the franchise with their tomfoolery. Thank god they were fired a few years ago and we actually got a professional (Ian Flynn, same writer as the Sonic comics) to do the job
The series that brought me back to the JRPG's after Xenoblade 2, Dragon Quest 11 and Ni no Kuni 2 all failed miserably (I hate them all.. although I grown to like XC2 - like, not love. The other two are still garbage).
So yes, when this franchise ends it'll be sad indeed, but definitely better than to keep going endlessly.
And still the only company that still has love for their product. Easily the best system of the last fifteen years and also easily the best Nintendo system since the N64 (Wii was also great though)

Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree Will Include Pauline As A Playable Character
Good! Now I assume Diddy Kong is in it too? That's literally a make or break decision for me when even considering buying this game.

Don't really care for titles i'm not already familiar with
Re: Crash Team Rumble Was Reportedly In Development For Switch But Got Cancelled
Lol, yeah, obviously.
Actually glad this game flopped so hard. Turning singleplayer games into live service trash is a big no-no.

Weekend already, and almost September at that... time flies so fast! For me, I'm playing:
Happy weekend everyone!

Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?

Re: New Sonic X Shadow Generations Trailer Showcases Shadow's Doom Powers

Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Showcases Side-By-Side Of Old & New Stages

Oh I most definitely will. I'll buy what I want, whener I want. Ain't no snotty brat on the internet tell me otherwise.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Showcases Side-By-Side Of Old & New Stages
@Kingy Or.. nostalgia is one hell of a drug lmao
It looks infinitely better in the newer game - and I grew up with SA2. Don't let nostalgia win.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Showcases Side-By-Side Of Old & New Stages

Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Showcases Side-By-Side Of Old & New Stages
@larryisaman You'd be surprised how deep some of these Sonic stories are though - much, much more so than Mario or Pokémon.
... I am talking about the games released between 2001 and 2009 of course. Anything between 2010 and 2020 is just borderline horrible.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Showcases Side-By-Side Of Old & New Stages

Re: Trails Series Main Story "About 80-90%" Complete, According To Nihon Falcom

So yes, when this franchise ends it'll be sad indeed, but definitely better than to keep going endlessly.
