mstrox 6,651 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Dropping in to say that I put tons and tons and tons of time into Breath of the Wild, beat the big DLC mission to get the motorcycle, and finally beat Calamity Ganon. As I predicted to myself, I lost a lot of interest in mopping the other stuff after that and haven't touched it in over a week, but it was good fun and satisfying up to that point.

The primary gameplay is the same, just with the third character added. It’s a fantastic game either way, for what it’s worth. Personally in my Top 10 on the PS3.

I don’t consider it a new game, just a remaster, so it’s a PS3 game to me. I haven’t completed a full play through of Full Body. I think I played the first few nightmares and then moved on to other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,352 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Obviously this could be complete fake / April Fool's joke / whatever, but SUPPOSEDLY this is a leak of what Nintendo's e3 lineup was going to be before e3 was canceled That's Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime, Pikmin, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Pokemon, and Giftpia Source: https://twitter.com/GarnetSunset/status/1244712232585437186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,352 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Skyward Sword - could be a not-that-different-looking upgrade to HD, like Twilight Princess HD Metroid Prime - could just be the Trilogy collection in HD, Prime 4 still seems years off Pikmin - Supposedly Pikmin 4 was finished years ago, could also just be a Pikmin 3 port Paper Mario - yesterday's leaks already said a Paper Mario game was coming Pokemon - could just be Gen 2 remake in the style of Let's Go gen 1 remake Giftpia - could just be a fairly straight port, or a sequel that's been in the works for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 While I'd love to assume that the new versions of the Galaxies will be without motion controls, Yoshi in Super Mario Galaxy 2 is giving me pause. It's one of the few aspects I can think of where not just motion, but *pointer* controls are truly built in to the game design. I wonder....

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Of course Sunshine comes with its own problem, since the original supported the analog shoulder buttons, a feature they've (sadly) not used since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,352 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Has anyone besides @Disco Stu here played Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle? I am LOVING this game!! I guess I'm just about halfway through it; I ended my session last night after two attempts at the boss of World 2, and I believe there are 4 worlds. The game has a very satisfying learning curb, awesome skill tree and weapon upgrade system, fun exploration, fun battles... I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,352 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 I beat world 2 last night, the desert and ice world. Final boss who had stumped me the first two tries was much easier when i swapped on character for another. It's such an interesting game where on some maps healing is everything and on others healing doesn't matter at all. Went back through world 2 with the new beepo ability and found tons of secrets including the secret world which I beat. Not sure if I want to do a bunch of challenges or just start world 3 next. World 3 looks like a haunted world so you were probably about 3/4 through the game when you lost it Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always loved it back in the day, and when I recently had my hooked up to play through Link's Awakening via my physical GB cart through the GC's GBA add-on, I loved hearing it again every session.

mstrox 6,651 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The first system I had after NES was the N64, so I never had the nostalgia connection to SMW or any other SNES games. I've played it since on Game Boy Advance, and agree it's pretty good, but I'll never quite connect to it the way I did to SMB1/2/3 and SM64, or even Mario Land 2 and Wario Land. It's a mirror of my connection to Zelda, where I've never been all in on ALTTP, favoring Link's Awakening and OOT/MM, since I never played it until adulthood.

Jay 37,352 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yea the amount of new features is truly incredible, it's like they stealth-dropped Mario Maker 3 practically All those powerups are so versatile, all the Mario Bros 2 stuff and mechanics make me wonder why they didn't just have an entire SMB2 theme, the world map builder people have been asking for forever... this is so cool, there's going to be so many amazing new levels to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I mean, obviously the World Maker is what I'm most excited about.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Animal Crossing was the #1 selling game in North America for March, even not including digital eShop sales.

An origami themed Paper Mario is so obvious and brilliant! I always preferred the Mario & Luigi series, but I'll play every Paper Mario that comes out.
