I think the point of it is to let you know the path differences without spoiling the plot. You could be right but the first line I saw was related to plot stuff, so I didn't check anything else. Speaking of the game, I'm stuck on the hardest Fire Emblem level I've ever played. It's like the Casino Royale scene where they bludgeon Bond's balls, that's what it feels like.

Holko 9,530 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Ori is a wonder. Will be a breeze after Hollow Knight but it's so goddamn gorgeous! I 100%ed it 3 times on Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all stopped talking about Mario Maker after a week and I could not care less about any of the Nintendo games and news since then. Yeah I wonder about that...

You go back to the original games and all three of those are vastly different in terms of how Mario feels to control. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Is there a game that can produce more nostalgia? Although for the last decade whenever I tried to play the game I always lose interest after Iggy and I don't know why. Maybe I just don't like Donut Plains. Also, a certain friend told me: Luigi's Mansion 3 is gonna be totally worth it. He's a fan of the first one and not the second, so that was cool to hear.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It still really bothers me that neither Nintendo nor an indie developer has really picked up where Super Mario World left off for straightforward platforming games. The interplay between discrete levels and the connected overworld map is the main reason why it's my favorite game of all time. Opening up the paths of that map is still satisfying after nearly 30 years and countless play-throughs for me. The first 3 Wario Land games sort of picked up on ideas here, and Nintendo sort of did something similar in NSMBU, but in the latter it was so systematic and lacking in imagination I ultimately would've rather they didn't dredge up those SMW associations.

Jay 37,373 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 At the airport yesterday I went to install the SNES games app on my switch, only to find Nintendo STILL hasn't made it so the Switch can connect to a Wifi network that requires a login screen, so I had to turn my phone into a hotspot and then download through that. Get your shit together, Nintendo! That being said, holy hell the SNES app is awesome. SO MANY of the best games of all time dropping at once is amazing, and I'm excited to get to play some shit in here I've never played before - and if they keep adding new games every month, this is gonna be really special. So happy to have this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
