    Which Zelda game(s) do you like to 100%?

    Same. It feels a little embarrassing, having played Zelda games my whole life but rarely ever 100%ing them. But it never really feels worth it and the extra things I skip generally aren't that exciting. I 100%'d OoT 3D, and I'm pretty sure I got all of the extra stuff in the original LoZ. But...

    Do You Ever Find It Predictable?

    Oh yeah, except that Bed of Chaos. That one sucks lol.

    Do You Ever Find It Predictable?

    Lol that was the entire philosophy behind BotW. It's the first Zelda to not follow the same formula since OoT, which didn't really overhaul the formula but just adapted it to 3D. Souls plays pretty similar to Monster Hunter. I think you would like it if you like MH. And yeah, you can damage...

    Majora's Mask vs Wind Waker: What was your preferred sequel?

    Wind Waker. Majora's Mask was too short and the dungeons were worse. Plus Wind Waker has more interesting combat.

    Title Predictions

    Are you implying that "The Legend of Zelda: Link Kills Ganon, Zelda Dies, and Tingle Marries Impa" wouldn't have the best story in the series?

    Breath of the Wild why is tingle not in botw?

    Now that I think about it, that really was a complete missed opportunity for the character. I would have much preferred finding Tingle at the top of the towers and having him fill in a region. I've never been a fan of modern technology being in fantasy worlds and having "lol its just magic, I...

    Which Videogame Delay Were You Most Upset By?

    Probably when they delayed Brawl the second time. That was a sad day for the internet.

    The Metaverse

    I just got an Oculus Quest 2 As it's the cheapest option. It's standalone, but I got an offbrand link cable to hook it up to my pc which works pretty well. Resident Evil 4 is really cool in VR. The only downside is having to make a Facebook account to use it.

    Elden Ring

    I've seen some people complain that it looks too similar to DS3, but you know what else was really similar to DS3? Every Fromsoft game since Demon's Souls. :P I don't know why people were expecting that Elden Ring wouldn't stick to the formula. I don't really have much more to contribute to the...

    Recent games that are nostalgic for you

    Hard to be nostalgic for anything so recent. Maybe Monster Hunter 3U and the Wii U in general. Moreso just nostalgia for my life at the time than for the games themselves. Although the time around Mario Maker's release was pretty cool, because there was such a craze for that game that the second...

    New Nintendo Switch Online

    Not really because you lose it once the subscription runs out meaning after one year you've paid for the DLC twice instead of just once.

    What is your history with Metroid as a franchise, if any at all?

    My first exposure to Metroid was Samus in the original Super Smash Bros. N64 is the first console I remember, so I didn't know who she was. I probably didn't even know she was a "she." My first Metroid game was Prime followed shortly by Fusion. I have vague memories playing Prime with my...

    Which of these Mario games is a "3D Mario"?

    It's just categorization. It's sort of interesting to think about what a proper term would be. For a long time, if you said "3D Mario" it was universally understood that you meant Mario 64, Sunshine, and/or the Galaxies. No one took that as dismissing Double Dash even though that game is a 3D...

    [Wind Waker] How was I supposed to do the second picture quest on Windfall??!!

    So did you figure it out on your own or look it up?

    Which of these Mario games is a "3D Mario"?

    All of those except NSMB are 3D Marios. I would say that SM64, Sunshine, Galaxy & 2, and Oddysey are "mainline" 3D Mario games whereas 3D Land/World + Bowser's Fury sort of stand on their own.

    Mario Movie

    Agreed. An insult not only to Martinet, but to fans.
  19. Ten Thousand Needles

    Mario Movie

    Same. I get that Martinet isn't an actor, but come on man, it's Mario! Mario's voice has to be one of the most iconic voices on the planet especially when it comes to animated characters. It's like if all the Mickey Mouse shows and shorts had his normal, jolly, high pitched voice but then they...

    Mario Movie

    Really? He seemed like the most sensible one IMO. In a weird way, I can sort of see Charlie Day fitting as Luigi. Chris Pratt is definitely the oddest pick.

    Mario Movie

    I think that's the right attitude to have. I'm hoping this will deliver what everyone expected from the Sonic movie and end up being a "so bad it's good" type movie.

    Mario Movie

    As I'm sure many of you saw last night, the cast of the Mario movie has been revealed and it's...Well, you can form your own opinion. Personally, I think it's shaping up to make the live action movie look like a masterpiece. It's difficult to imagine worse casting if you try. Thoughts?

    What genres would you like to explore more of

    Fighting games. Every time I get a new fighting game, I tell myself "This is the one! I'm gonna get really into this one and actually get good at a fighter!" but then after 10 hours of playtime I just kind of lose interest.

    What Wii game would you play first?

    Anyone here play Little King's Story? It's easily one of the best games on the Wii.

    Have you ever opened up your game hardware?

    I've never opened up a game cartridge, although I've been meaning to change the battery in my old Pokemon carts for ages. I've opened up several consoles, though. I took apart an N64 and NES to paint them (found an action figure hiding in the N64), I replaced the case on my Wii, and I opened my...

    Steam + Family Sharing = Wipe

    You're positive it erased it all? I turned on family sharing once to replay certain Hitman missions, and I have a few friends that use it to share games, but I've never had that issue. If you're still having the issue then maybe I can help. To be clear: when you sign into your original account...

    BotW 2 E3 trailer

    Eh. I was hoping for a Majora's Mask style sequel. Obviously reusing a lot from the first game but in ways that deliver something new. From what little we've seen it just looks like BotW with floating platforms and caves. If the sky/underground portions are able to match the reused overworld in...

    Emulating or Playing Natively

    Mostly emulation these days, either on my pc or my wii. It's just too inconvenient to have all the real hardware handy. Plus it's nice to have access to the features emulators have such as fast forward.

    World Of Dark Souls

    Dark Souls 2 is the weakest of the trilogy, but it's great. I definitely had the most fun with multiplayer in that one. After 3 came out and was almost as gray as Bloodborne, I really came to appreciate how bright and colorful it is.

    How about the Ocarina of Time returns upgraded?

    That plus the glider would give him a pretty easy time. BotW Link would be too big to climb through holes in the wall though.

    Breath of the Wild What would you like Link to have.

    According to the people who have made Link the main character of every Zelda game. If you don't want to play as Link, play a game that isn't Zelda. There are plenty of those, so not sure why existing characters should get axed. Especially the most important one in the series who is also one of...

    Breath of the Wild What would you like Link to have.

    It is. If it doesn't affect that, then there's no reason to change it. If it does affect that, there's reason not to change it.

    Breath of the Wild What would you like Link to have.

    The entire series being about Link say it. Nothing says a gay female octopus can't rescue donuts by beating Nazi's at billiards, but making that and calling it Super Mario won't make it a Mario game.
  35. Ten Thousand Needles

    Breath of the Wild What would you like Link to have.

    Because he's Link. If there aren't some things that are consistent, then he won't be Link anymore. Without Link, it simply isn't Zelda.

    Smash Bros Do you like the joke characters?

    Minecraft has such a distinct artstyle that there was no way they could alter it for Smash and still have it be Minecraft. Snake and Joker aren't stylized 100% like their original games which makes them fit in visually with Smash while still being recognizable. I really don't think you could...

    Smash Bros Do you like the joke characters?

    Wasn't Jigglypuff one of the most popular pokemon in Japan at the time? The only real joke character in all of Smash has been Piranha Plant. Wii Fit was a successful IP and G&W, ROB, and Duck Hunt are all icons of Nintendo's History. Hell, Wii Fit came out almost 15 years ago so I guess Trainer...

    Did you ever have console arguments at school?

    Certainly not in this thread. Those things happen because programmers tie the gameplay to the framerate. That's considered really bad practice. The framerate isn't the problem in those situations. They do that because they assume the game will always be at a specific framerate. That doesn't...

    Breath of the Wild If SSHD fails again will this game get a brief resurgence before BOTW2 comes?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "resurgence" but I think reception to SSHD will be better than the original game. Seems like lately online I've been seeing a lot more "It wasn't as bad as people say"'s when people discuss it. The biggest complaints with the original had to do with motion controls...

    Did you ever have console arguments at school?

    List some games that are better at lower framerates than high ones. The only way that could even be arguable is with games where framerate is tied to physics, but that's just poor design and higher fps would still be better. Haven't played Xenosaga, but those are all great games.

    Canon so terrible you pretended it never happened

    Anything involving Final Fantasy X after the actual Final Fantasy X. X-2 is bad enough story wise, but holy hell the way they continued the story after the two games is horrendous. I can deal with pretending X-2 is a "real" part of the pretend story, but the audio drama from the remaster and the...

    What do you think will be announced next about BotW 2?

    Fun fact: The demos in Brawl were actually the full games with time limits on them. You could use a gecko (Game Shark equivalent) code to disable the timer and play the full games through Brawl. I don't know why you would want to play them that way, but it's kind of neat that you can do it.

    Did you ever have console arguments at school?

    I argued with a kid in my school because he said the Wii didn't have any hardcore games and PS3 was better. I had plenty of stupid arguments on forums and stuff, but none that were particularly interesting. I was a huge Nintendo fanboy when I was younger. Favorite PS2 games? I disagree. The...

    Do You Think Button Mashing is Cheating?

    No, it's not cheating at all. Losing to someone who just mashed buttons is annoying, even more so than losing to a cheater because losing to a button masher just means you yourself suck.

    Will you get Pokémon Snap?

    It looks cool, but I'll probably wait on it. I love the N64 game, but these days I rarely pay the full $60 for a game unless it's something I know I really want. I just don't know if it could be worth $60. That said, it is the best looking Pokemon game in a long time for me. At least it was...

    Which game had the best executed/your favorite DLC?

    I'd probably have to hand it to Undead Nightmare for RDR1. It felt more like a new game than an expansion of the base game. GTA IV had great dlc's as well. Shame Rockstar will probably never expand their single player games like that again because of GTA Online. The Souls games all had great...

    How do you feel about digital going into the 9th gen?

    PS2 is like the Wii, where it basically restarts as a PS1 when you play the old games and the PS1 can't talk with PS2 cards. I have a modded PS2, and you can't use the actual PS1 mode to play PS1 back ups. You can still play them, but it emulates them despite the hardware needed being in the...

    How often do you buy a Switch version for multiplats?

    Pretty much never. The only current gen system I have is Switch, but these days if it's multiplat it's probably on PC so I'll get it on that. The only advantage Switch has over anything else is handheld mode, but I never play games on the go so it's not an issue for me. I love Nintendo, but...
