I can give you all of them.

Sweet, I'll PM you my friend code. Just give me a shout whenever your on or got some time if that's cool.

Picked up the NEOGEO Golf game on a whim. Turns out it’s really good fun. Well worth sick squid.

Neo Turf Masters is one of my favorite arcade games ever. An absolute classic. That said, I destroyed a steel arcade stick with a hammer over that game, so your mileage may vary.

I want Dragon Quest Anthology and the Galaxy 2 DLC to be real.

 

[TheSadRanger]

I was talking to Evangelion Unit-01 in Animal Crossing and we both mentioned how New Horizons desperately needs more shops.

Give us back the coffee shop, re-tail, club LOL, and the post office.

Re-tail is such and obvious choice.

 

[TheSadRanger]

If Dragon Quest Anthology is real, then I'm speculating that it's either a compilation package of the DS/iOS version of IV,V, and VI. Or a duo package with the 3DS versions of VII, and VIII.

Big mistake. “On the green!” is going to be looping repeatedly in your head for weeks.

Dragon Quest Anthology? Does that mean all DQ games, I - X?

Hi guys,

Quick update. Jooxed and I went on that date.

I wanted to take him somewhere classy, so we went to Outback Steakhouse. He didn't waste any time before the flirting started, and he ordered me a blooming onion as an appetizer. He took a wedge and drew a 69 on my chest, leaving a trail of grease running down my hairy navel. The waiter came back for our entree. I ordered the rump roast, but he placed a confident hand on my shoulder and told me that's what I was having for dessert.

Later, he came back to my house and pegged me with a Yoshi-shaped strap-on. I must've sounded like I was trying to flutter jump. I rode up and down his flagpole while he pounded the coins out of my box. He was the toad to my stool.

But he said "no homo" so it's fine.

I'm not into erotic fan fiction but this surprisingly well written.

That 4chan shit? Almost 0 chance of any of it being true. They post that sort of Direct stuff very regularly on there and I've yet to see one being accurate. And for this one "Breath of Evil" should be a dead giveaway it's fake. That said, who knows about Galaxy 2, we still might see that somewhere down the line.

 

[Shaqazooloo]

Why post this? We already know when Crown Tundra is releasing (and it's not that date) and Steve was already revealed to be challenger pack 7.

It's obviously fake.

Edit: Honestly surprised you guys didn't notice...

 

[Shaqazooloo]

Also since when are we expecting a regular direct? Nintendo already said that they have more Partner Showcases planned for the year. We'll likely just get one of those each month until the end of the year.

Yeah, that figures. I just think it's a bummer Nintendo left out Galaxy 2. If they patch it in as DLC it would be great. Haven't played it so it's kinda the one I wanted in the collection, even though I'm happy with the 3 we got.

 

[-Arcadia-]

I’ve been around them long enough to know that Nintendo is Nintendo, and could potentially be perfectly content never rereleasing Galaxy 2, especially with their upcoming focus on 3D World and probably not wanting to saturate Mario.

At this point, I’m looking at emulation, or finding an appropriate older TV, so I can just make it happen myself.

 

[Cutty Flam]

The only thing that matters at Nintendo headquarters now, is turning these dreams to a reality:

-N64 Online
-Nintendo Gamecube Online
-Gameboy Online
-Gameboy Color Online
-Gameboy Advance Online
-Nintendo DS + 3DS Online
-Mario Party Collection all games playable Online (minigames + boards)

If anyone’s uncle working at Nintendo has more prestige within the company than mine, please get the message across

Got my Pro controller. I like that a lot better than the joycons.

Playing BotW regularly, at least an hour a day, usually more.

I've got my paraglider now and a couple of horses. Getting better at cooking. All the early shrines were incredibly easy, but I came across one that kicked my ass repeatedly. It's called "a minor test of strength," so I'm guessing it's not really all that difficult; I'm just under-equipped. I guess I need to gear up and use more potions or something. I'll come back later.

I like to wander around in RPGs and explore, rather than head directly for the main quest, so that's what I'm doing. I'm a little overwhelmed at how big the unexplored land mass is. But the game makes exploration interesting and rewarding.

All of this is intentional and 20 to 30 hours from now you’ll see the progression that has happened all without a leveling system. Really well done by Nintendo to lead players through an open world game like this without any artificial barriers.

Again, while 4chan's credibility is less than impeccable, I know for a fact that some of the things on that list are true. It's not entirely bullshit.


Aaaanyway, Metal Gear Solid 1 came out on GOG last week, and I was like "oh, I haven't played the PC version in a long time." I remember it being good, despite the visual effects that it loses. Anyway, I fire it up, and it turns out that you can't move diagonally if you're playing the game using a d-pad. God, I fucking hate old PC ports. I mean, I could just play the game on PS1, but I just lost interest altogether after that.

So anyway, I bought Xenoblade, but I dunno if I wanna play that or Persona 5 Royal. I played the original versions of both. I'm kinda feeling P5's downbeat vibe today, but Xenoblade is fuckin' Xenoblade. Maybe I'll just play Xenoblade and buy some Neo Geo MVS carts.

Do you have a Wii U? Or would you consider using a scaler on a Wii? There are some great options out there if you choose to go down either of these routes.


I am (very slowly) working on a retro game OT that focuses on video signals.

I think a good counter argument as to why Mario Galaxy 2 DLC won't happen is why would they do DLC for a game that's supposedly a limited time release.

That being said your right in that Nintendo is Nintendo and who knows wtf they're gonna do sometimes.

I still want DQ Anthology to be real.

Joking aside, they were kind of fun for a while. I used them to decorate the gaming spaces and add a bit of flash to them. For a while, they even had really cool little in-game gifts, like an exclusive weapon for Hyrule Warriors, or that character’s Mii costume in Mario Kart (very cool with Mega Man and Sonic) that felt perfect for a $12 figure.

Sadly, brainlets cried, while gladly purchasing DLC and online fees from other companies, and those bonuses got really cut back.

Today, they’re more like really neat collector’s figures with a low price, and surprising quality.

It's this



But if you get one like the Zelda ones and use them in BotW you get neat extras.

 

[hariseldon]

So effectively physical DLC with a doll. Odd, but I guess Nintendo do things in their own peculiar way and that’s why I love them so much.

 

[UsualNoise]

The only reason I'm hopeful on Mario Galaxy 2 as DLC is the 3D All-Stars main menu. There are arrows on both sides for 6 non-scrolling items. If they weren't planning on adding anything WHY THE ARROWS?!?

Green Stars

in Super Mario Galaxy 2

Was I wrong to criticize SMG2 as hard as I had in the past? I thought the majority of the stars were always a bore-fest. Just going through the motions basically the entire game through. I yearned for a great challenge, and it seldom came within the collecting of the main stars imo. Did I miss anything substantial by stopping after completing the game?

I truly did wait, and wait, and wait for the game to pick up at least a little bit in difficulty or in some area though. It remained lacking though, tbh. The stars were not very stimulating at all to me. Very rarely were they anything more than a video game chore to me, 100% serious when I say that Super Mario Galaxy is a much better game than its successor, Super Mario Galaxy 2

Want to know others’ opinions. What was it it about this game that felt so blank in comparison to the other Super Mario games? It honestly felt lifeless a lot of times I had played and to me, the bulk of the main stars didn’t leave a great impression. Trying to figure out exactly what it was even after all these years. But could it have just been the simple fact that

Spoiler

the Green Stars are the real challenge for hardcore fans and the regular Stars are more or less the warm up / more dedicated to casual gamers?

Felt like the game didn’t test your skills even close to enough. Although, on a technical level, the game is magnificent and looks incredible, I’m a bit surprised that so many are distraught over it not being included in the Super Mario 3D All Stars. It would have been amazing to have an extra game to play. And it would have felt complete. But I think Super Mario Galaxy is the superior game. These are my thoughts, what do you think?

Sincerely,
Pimpmasta Shy Guy

Square needs to get their entire back catalog on modern systems. Let me download each game individually like I can FF 7-12. No more collections.

Hmm. I don’t know what he likes, but speaking for what I’d like, handing a valuable videogame system to a six year old, lol, I think the Lite’s unibody design is possibly more suited to taking typical abuse, drops, accidents, tempers, etc., from children.

I don’t know though. Does he seem like he’d like to play more on the TV and such? Or does he have siblings to play with, or friends that he likes to game with? Because the TV and single-system multiplayer capability of the regular Switch would be a much better choice in that case.

My brother-in-law just bought his kids Switches over the summer. One regular and one Lite. Only the Lite doesn’t have any issues. I think -Arcadia- is right, the Lite is more durable. The Joycons are temperamental, and the sliding mechanism seems to have latching issues once kids start dropping the Switch.

I've been lurking in that Genshin Impact OT, and I'm a bit envious. Apparently it's coming to the Switch at some point, but no time soon. If anyone in this thread is playing, let me know how it is.
