After doing a bit of thinking, the first one that comes to mind is the title screen theme from Mega Man 3. It's very rare that I really love a title screen theme as soon as I hear it but this is one of those cases. The slow intro, and then the buildup into the main theme... it's just great and...
ok, i must admit, i quite like the idea of strolling down memory lane and looking back at each of the avatars ive used over the years... so get ready for over 8 years worth of avatars, with some commentary along the way
Whew, it took me a while, but I've finally made it through. I even picked...
well, i dont want to look like a bandwagonner, but since its clear my pick this month isn't gonna get picked anyway, i might as well add some fuel to the fire
retracting my vote for the bird-themed superhero who last month was mistaken for captain falcon, even though on closer inspection they...
chucking in a vote for the bird-themed superhero who last month was mistaken for captain falcon, even though on closer inspection they actually look almost nothing alike
Two Mr. Edgeworths?! And they're arguin' with each other...
What a scoop! "Man Argues With Himself About Clowns and Children While Votes Remain The Same!" Wait'll I get this to my editor, I'll get published for sure!
Maybe then they'll consider accepting my think piece on Captain Falcon and...
i don't watch any specifically mario-focused channels, but i figure since other people are shouting out tangenially related gaming channels, i'll put in a plug for one of my favourite youtubers, Game Maker's Toolkit.
GMTK is a really great channel that makes video essays exploring various...
i also just finished pikuniku after buying it on the eshop, where it's on sale for a dollar
its a fun, cute little game. reminds me of wandersong, where its more about the journey and people you meet rather than any challenging gameplay
also the style of dialogue in the game reminds me of myself...
animal crossing
played for an hour or two... cleaned up the island, made (and subsequently broke) a few tools, caught a bunch of bugs and fish and am currently "displaying" them around the island cause i can't donate them to the museum yet and they're taking up inventory space, paid off my...
just to play devil's advocate, there's a lot of historical precedent for an indie presentation occurring at this time of month to align with GDC, which has happened the past two years (similar to how they always have one in august, which i believe is to line up with one of the PAXes), so it's a...
i don't really play anything these days which i would consider a 'guilty' pleasure, but certain sonic games (shadow the hedgehog, sonic r, a few others too probably) would probably fit the bill, even though i haven't really actively played them in a long while
a recent favourite of mine that i've really been enjoying that most people have likely overlooked is Picross 3D: Round 2 for the 3DS. It's really just a collection of puzzles, taking picross/nonograms and adding another dimension to it, but the design of the game (graphics, sounds and music)...
this is a hard question... theres just too many characters that i like!
off the top of my head, i'll go with rosalina, waluigi, funky kong. i think theres something universally likable and appealing about characters in the mario series, so those are the ones that i think about first (also helps...
My first video game that I can remember would be Super Mario Advance, which my older brother got with a GBA for his birthday when we were kids
It's definitely the first 'console' game I ever had, but that said I might have played some stuff on an old windows 98 pc around the same time period...
So it's pretty clear that, despite how many times Doug Bowser might say they're still supporting it, the 3DS has pretty much wrapped up it's lifetime, since they've basically stopped releasing games now after two years of support post-Switch release. A lot of people seem to be talking focusing...
yeah, i will agree that there are some other series that also have that issue, although i'd still argue its not as severe as in fire emblem. say what you will about individual pokemon losing popularity, but at the very least they've traditionally always still been appearing in new games...
i don't mind byleth. when i woke up and saw the video i was like "oh, of course its another fire emblem character" but after that i got over it
the character trailer is probably my least favourite of the bunch, it felt a little disjointed, jumping between anime cutscenes, FE:3H in-game models/UI...
if we're talking a new 'mainline' platformer, i'd like to see something that's generally more creative. you can keep the minimal story, but have some fun with new ideas, locations and a fresh coat of paint/new artstyle. maybe a new premise as well to help bring it all together
i also think it'd...
they're well made games with appealing characters and worlds, plus they're just some of the best platformers you can find. even the ones that are majorly considered to be duds (like the nsmb series), while bland and a bit too liberal with the recycling, aren't really bad. they still play fine...
you know its not an actual nintendo direct lol. its another "livestream" where sakurai shows off the character, its just that in this case the character is being revealed during the stream instead of beforehand. the announcement tweet itself makes that very clear, and also has absolutely no...
a year and a half, and 27 games later... (new additions in bold)
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (fun fact: this is my third copy of the game lol)
Super Mario Odyssey
Voez
Crypt of the Necrodancer
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Super Smash Bros...
the first time i played mario 3d world, i thought it was good, but not amazing. it twas fun but it doesnt measure up to the galaxy games (which were my introduction to 3d mario and what got me into nintendo on a bigger level). about a year or two after odyssey came out, i decided to replay it...
ok i'm going to steer a bit off topic here but you need to stop telling yourself these sorts of things. i know i've said this to you before but as a human being you were made to be inherently valuable. you're not worthless, and you're also not really worth less than anyone here. anything that...
Mega Man 11
this was a really fun time. its exactly what i would expect for a "modern-day" mega man game. keeps the core gameplay that makes the series good, while adding new features, moves and items to make it a good experience that feels like it belongs in the current decade and not the 80s...
sports story is the best announcement of the indie direct and im very excited and happy that its being made, and its also a good reminder that i still havent finished the first one yet
and on a similar note, axiom verge 2 is probably pretty cool, but it mostly served as a reminder that i own the...
there's no way it could (or should) happen. smash is just for video game characters
the only non-video game original character i can see making it in is goku, only because there are a lot of popular dragon ball video games, dating waaay back even into the NES era (dragon balls history in the...
i stopped playing mario maker 2 pretty early on mainly because joycon drift turned level-making into a much more tedious process than it should be, but i just got some new joycons so this update is perfectly timed
the new items look pretty good, although some of them made me think "it wasnt in...
i don't think theres any cinemas near me that are showing it
maybe if it gets put on crunchyroll or something i will, but i havent watched any anime in a while tbh
ive never watched pulp fiction and have no idea who this guy is but dang its still out there. like the comment he left on that tweet is something i'd expect from a celebrity parody account but no its the real deal lol
"Easily one of the best experiences in a cinema I’ve ever had. I would go as...
so i went to pax aus today and i actually got to play this! its pretty good
the segment i played involved a little bit of light puzzle solving before having a boss fight against the knight ghost. gameplay wise, its very similar to dark moon with a few extra bells and whistles. i havent played dm...
im super basic so i like anything that involves chocolate or vanilla
chocopolitan is good because it has chocolate and vanilla, and it swaps out strawberry for choc chip which is also great (although i dont mind strawberry ice cream either)
played through the first set of stages
it plays ok for a mobile mario kart... i actually had more fun than i was expecting, considering i never play mobile games. probably the game ive enjoyed the most from a pure gameplay standpoint when it comes to nintendo's mobile offerings (although the...
I'm really sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my mother, and my heart goes out to you. I can't do a lot but I did donate and I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers if that means anything to you
