[wary loom]

After 20 days we just get bug fixes and update which makes game worse

[hollow dove]

Yeah

[ornate zinc]

They could’ve just not updated the game at all, cough cough mario party

So getting updates for bug fixes and online stuff early on is still a good sign

[wary loom]

It is rather normal for any game with important online part to receive bug fixes and updates often, so Nintendo is just doing bare minimum and not sharing with playerbase their plans

[ornate zinc]

Eh kinda, bug fixes to fix bugs that cause crashes
Tho they usually don’t touch online ingame, mainly just server stuff

If they do touch the ingame online 2 or 3 weeks later it usually a good sign for a game that the game will receive updates

[wary loom]

I think even pokemon scarlet/violet had better contact with community about future updates and content

[ornate zinc]

That different

Pokemon scarlet and violet was a complete mess

[wary loom]

But still received a lot of content

[ornate zinc]

Plus pokemon is usually in contact with the community mainly in the competitive side

[ornate zinc]

Content that was already planned before release

[wary loom]

They were adding new pokemons, raids etc

[ornate zinc]

Splatoon 3 did the same

[wary loom]

It isnt different with mario kart world.

The question is, WHY they dont want to share anything

If they would say that 200cc and race track mode is on its way then people would be happy

Instead people are just joking that those 2 features will be in paid dlc for 20-30 dollars

[ornate zinc]

I think they’re waiting on feedback, and sales before confirming updates, as saying dlc is coming soon for a game that just came out on a new console with people disliking both the price for the console and games.

It best not to say much, as people got mad at animal crossing and splatoon 3 for feeling like a uncompleted gsme after they finished updates

[wary loom]

The best example for game support in my opinion is probably smash ultimate

Game was receiving content updates and bug fixes plus dlc already had roadmap

[earnest hill]

Mario Kart World is such a let down for me. Mostly just went into it with way more expectations for open world mode

[ornate zinc]

I think open world was overhyped for a lot of people

[earnest hill]

I don’t like the character select screen, and honestly like 90% of the characters just feel exactly the same to me

Compared to double dash where everyone had a unique power up and drove (mostly) differently

[wary loom]

Well done open world gives a lot of fun like Tears of the Kingdom or Forza Horizon 4 and 5

[ornate zinc]

I still hate the stage selection for smash ultimate with the dlcs

It feel like they planned to release 3 additional stages and it really bugs me with the UI

[earnest hill]

They should have done the alternate costumes more akin to how it works in street fighter or basically every other game

[wary loom]

Menu is huge mess atm

[earnest hill]

Pick Mario, pick Mario costume. Not scroll thru 8 pages of Mario

[wary loom]

It looks like they did it intentionally to make impression of huge character roster in presentations

[earnest hill]

Yeah, was just thinking exactly the same thing

I’m honestly not deep enough in the Mario lore to even understand who half the random characters are. Like cow is funny, but is cow like a significant character in the game?

[wary loom]

Also 1 costume for donkey kong is hilarious. Toads have more costume than one of the most iconic character who is getting his own game next month

[earnest hill]

The tracks themselves are interesting, although I think I still prefer the more traditional lap style

[ornate zinc]

It really does bugs me

[earnest hill]

The powerups suck, especially in multiplayer

[wary loom]

Now golden mushroom is op in online

[earnest hill]

Mushroom is general is the best power up with how many corners you can cut in these maps

[wild shale]

the intermissions would be more interesting if the big vehicles werent so rare

plus if the weather events happened more often

like and randomation system for hazards and stuff would be way better

[earnest hill]

Maybe I’m just too old and jaded to enjoy Mario kart at this point. Gonna yell at the clouds about how much better 64 and Double Dash were

[wary loom]

Instead of fighting with bagging and promoting interesting shortcuts which require skills they pushed update which makes bagging the main way of winning

[ornate zinc]

I’m a Wii person

[earnest hill]

Wii was also good, although I never cared for motion controls

Double Dash was definitely my favorite. My kid sister was the gunner and I was the driver and she would fire when I told her too. Lots of happy memories with that

[ornate zinc]

The characters selection was good until like MK7

Also return my man rob, he deserves to be in MKW

[earnest hill]

MKW kinda feels like those later Mortal Kombat games where you have 10 recolors of Sub Zero and they all play basically the same.

[wild shale]

bro got turned into a bike

[ornate zinc]

I’ll take it over MK8 characters selection

They at least have the audacity to call them by skins and not separated characters

[hollow dove]

Indeed. That game had babies, metal characters power up characters

[earnest hill]

A lot of the power ups feel worthless too. Like the feather is way too common, plus garbage like the coin and coin block

And none of it even matters cause you are going to get spammed with a lighting/blue shell either way

[wild shale]

i feel like the problem is the distribution of items

[ornate zinc]

The babies early on was just representing yoshi island, they over did it with baby rosalina, since you couldn’t pick the same character in local wii, so baby daisy made some sense

[wild shale]

items that hit alot of people should only be around 12-16th, people behind that should never get hit by lightning

red shells should only be in like the top 8 or so

like there are so many changes that feel kinda obvious

[hollow dove]

Erm actually you could with a glitch 🤓 👆

[ornate zinc]

Glitches don’t count

[earnest hill]

I miss the earlier red shells that tracked you but you could at least dodge or outrun, not these heat seeking things that will hit you midair

[hollow dove]

They indeed do because idk funny

[wild shale]

the problem would be that people all the way in the lead would just dodge every red shell making their lead even longer

[earnest hill]

If you have the skill to get in the lead and dodge stuff so be it

[ornate zinc]

Who knew the red shell was the thing needed to destroy mario
Maybe bowser should become a red shell

[wild shale]

tbh i dont really know what they can do to properly balance 24 players

[earnest hill]

I haven’t played a ton, but I’ve watched a ton on twitch and multiplayer honestly feels pretty rng

[wild shale]

a bit

i feel like the items should be more positional

cause getting a single mushroom in like 12th

what am i supposed to do with this

[ornate zinc]

Btw, i never liked overworld games cause some of them make 100% a pain to complete

[limpid reef]

tbf getting a single mushroom in a really low placing sometimes just happens even in like. wii

[wild shale]

most open worlds are fine cause they have a proper checklist and dont have random collectables (looking at nintendo)

koroks

[earnest hill]

Every garbage Ubisoft collectathon game

Looking at you Assassins Creed series

[wild shale]

ive never really played an AC game

[earnest hill]

The first couple games were amazing but then it really nose dived in my opinion

[wary loom]

Death stranding open world is fun

[wild shale]

i prefer open zone style of games tbh, seperate large areas, it feels more digestible

[earnest hill]

I’m not doing great financially but I’m looking forward to getting Death Stranding 2 at some point

[wary loom]

No much extra content. It is just you vs open world

[wild shale]

i havent played the first 1

im not super interested in the gameplay

[wary loom]

Specific game but personally i love it

[earnest hill]

My favorite parts of the first were just how miserable the game made you feel delivering packages in awful conditions

[limpid reef]

it looks super obnoxious to play lmao

[wary loom]

Its different and require some planning

[earnest hill]

Could have done without all the combat and even story tbh

[wild shale]

if i find the game super cheap ill probably try the first one

[wary loom]

The best feel is when you pick few orders and you sit and plan the best way to complete them in time. Also planning structures, which veichle to chose

[wild shale]

its 60% off on steam atm, ill wait till around 75%

i do have a backlog of like 100 games first tho

[wary loom]

I loves making all those connections and then building structures to make everything easy and fast

First time blizzard was the peak

[earnest hill]

I remember this one point where you are making a delivery in the snow in the mountains and are freezing and thinking they really really captured the feeling of being miserable

There isn’t another game even similar to it

I finished Claire Obscure (GOTY, in my top 3 games ever) and am slowly making my way thru the Lies of P DLC and playing Balatro on the side

[wary loom]

I started playing persona 5 x and trying to platinum crash team racing

[earnest hill]

That game is really hard to plat IIRC

[wild shale]

im really excited for persona 4 r (in like 3 years)

[wary loom]

Also i picked tears of the kingdom on switch2 and it is great

[wary loom]

I plat crash 4 so i can plat also this

[wild shale]

the n sane trilogy is so cheap on steam rn if only ctr was on pc

[wary loom]

I picked ctr for 10 dollars on ps store

[earnest hill]

I think CTR is considered to be like a 9/10 difficulty platinum, right?

[wary loom]

Yeah. Time trials are hard

[earnest hill]

Yeah the dev time trials are basically TAS runs

[gloomy shuttle]

It made a billion dollars, of course they'd announce one already. -_-

[wary loom]

But i have done dragon mine so the worst is behind me

[wary loom]

You need to beat oxide times only but it is still not easy

Sometimes you need to keep flame all of the time

[gloomy shuttle]

Also, I bought the Take On Me emote.

[tall forge]

I wasn’t too big of a fan of it

[normal eagle]

dude i hate shy guy bazaar, it has such a sharp turn twoards the start

[wild shale]

it can be a doosy

[normal eagle]

its the only couse in the flower cup i struggle with

i could move onto another cup but i wanna try 3 starring them in order

[charred axle]

I just go on the Rail on the Right since that Leads to a Different Path

[charred axle]

Make sure to Only Do 150cc since that Automatically 3 Stars 50cc and 100cc

[hollow dove]

Wait really?

[normal eagle]

3 stars requires first every race right?

[charred axle]

Yep

[charred axle]

Yes

[hollow dove]

Actually, that’s peak. No more playing 50cc for no reason

[ornate zinc]

Alpha, don’t 100% the game, it not worth it

[charred axle]

Mario Kart 8/Deluxe had that too

[hollow dove]

Huh? It did?

[charred axle]

Yep

[normal eagle]

I FINALLY DID IT

[charred axle]

I think 200cc and Mirror were the Exceptions tho

[normal eagle]

lowkey been walled at shy guy bazaar for like 2 hours 💀

[hollow dove]

Oh, I see

Makes sense because of gold kart and gold Mario

[charred axle]

But yeah, I tested MKW GP on Another Account (since I already Beat GP on my Main at the Time), and 1 Starred Mushroom Cup on 150cc, and it Automatically 1 Starred the other cc's

I Tested it with Knockout Tour too, and it Works there as well

[hollow dove]

I see

[normal eagle]

cant wait to get NSO so i can do online knockout tour

i can finally do other cups i 3 starred flower cup

[charred axle]

I've just been Playing Online Race Mode since I've Done Everything Offline

[normal eagle]

my first two kamek characters ive unlocked were coin coffer and pianta

im praying i dont have to suffer RNG's wrath to get cataquack

[ornate zinc]

If we can have characters ride their karts/ride that look like them

If we can have a rob bike, then we can get rob again

[normal eagle]

The AI can use feathers to jump gaps 😭

[unreal ibex]

The hardest unlock was fishbone I used 2 controllers and played with no CPU on race versus mode to get it

[hollow dove]

I’ve heard that cataquack is the hardest one to get

[charred axle]

Yeah, Cataquack and Fish Bone are Hard to get due to the Small Amounts of Locations you can Get them in

[hollow dove]

Tbh, I think fish bone is easier to get because of the hot spring section with the fish bones where as cataquack is only around peach beach and you could get cheep cheep, pianta and dolphin as well

[charred axle]

I think you can also get Cataquack in one of the Intermissions

[hollow dove]

Yeah. Actually, fish bone might be harder

[unreal ibex]

I used my joycons and my gc controller on multiplayer to get fishbone took me awhile to get

[charred axle]

Yeah, I Used Vs Mode for Fish Bone and Cataquack iirc

[hollow dove]

Honestly, what ncp character is the easiest to unlock?

I would say maybe charging chuck and nabbit

[lapis arch]

"Nice one!"😭

[normal eagle]

[long marten]

you could say that gravity clearly wasn't on your side after all

[unreal ibex]

I love the ladybug, parabiddy bud is one of my mains

[wild shale]

peak...

[ornate zinc]

Y’all know about The Backyardigans, well they found the pilot

[charred axle]

I saw!

[ornate zinc]

I actually never saw the show much before, or i don’t have much memory left watching it

But i know the pilot been lost for a long time

[charred axle]

Yeah, Same

[normal eagle]

omg the leaf cup is actually so bad 💀

the only good track is (absolute) boo cinema

been stuck on that cup for about 2 hours becuase of cheep cheep falls and dandelion depths

[ornate zinc]

They count local multiplayer as 3 stars now

So if you have like a local family member that wanna play, you can invite them and they can also get a 3 star on the cup

[normal eagle]

i made it this far, ill keep brute forcing it

but my lord cheep cheep falls is bad

[gloomy shuttle]

My favorite maps in this game have definitely been:

• Dino Dino Jungle
• Boo Cinema
• Dry Bones Burnout
• Rainbow Road

I have not played magic the gathering since like middle school lol

That said, are these cards even valid in tournaments play

[wild shale]

i have no idea i dont play magic

i just think these look neat

[tall forge]

I saw that the new Mario kart has rolling starts? Instead of being completely stopped

[charred axle]

Yeah, when you get Hit, you don't Lose your Momentum entitely

[wild shale]

on the intermission tracks you do yeah

you still press on the 2 for a boost tho

[charred axle]

Oh that's what You Meant

I thought You were Referring to Rolling Around when getting Hit

[normal eagle]

he was kind enough to let me get hatch for the achievement

[charred axle]

Yeah I'm Done with Race for Now

(For Context, you Start with 3,000 VR)

[wild axle]

Hi, I'm a newcomer who just joined the server, hello everyone

[normal eagle]

a mario circuit track in the special cup is beyond cursed though lmao

[wild shale]

my favourite cup is the last cup before special

where it starts with moo moo meadows and ends with bowsers castle

[wary loom]

Hi Newcomer

[wild shale]

tonal whiplash

[normal eagle]

think my favorite courses so far are DK spaceport, starview peak and (absolute) boo cinema

[gloomy shuttle]

For me:

• Dino Dino Jungle
• Boo Cinema
• Dry Dry Burnout
• DK Spaceport
• Rainbow Road

[normal eagle]

starview peak is gorgeous

[hollow dove]

Okay I just found out that there’s 269 intermissions in the mkw (yes, including ones that can go both way

[ornate zinc]

Oh this goes even deeper lol

So apparently one of the mod for the backyardigans wiki had the pilot copy, and somehow pressured anyone they know to not release the pilot, they lead the lost media team off the trail in 2022.

They’re taking this kid show lost media seriously… yikes

[tall forge]

Well another shoe brand joins the ring for Fortnite

[wary loom]

Gratz. What you think about patch which lowers chance of getting normal race track to around 30%?

[charred axle]

I feel like they should've Waited to Fix the Exploit until a Proper Alternative was Released

Although with my time on Online, getting a 3 Lap Track hasn't really been Rare at all, and I Don't Really Mind the Road Trips, so it hasn't Impacted my Experience with the Game

Though I do Understand why People are Upset of course

[spice obsidian]

||MKT||

[hollow dove]

Funny question but what is your favourite tour city track, favourite tour original track, favourite RMX track and favourite retro track that was made for tour?

[spice obsidian]

Too many tracks 😅 So can't think of any atm that I like or dislike. And I wouldn't know the names anyway since there are so many versions of them.

[hollow dove]

Okay

[spice obsidian]

RMX tracks are often good tho

[hollow dove]

Indeed (not the choco island ones they are bad)

[spice obsidian]

Yesh those are a bit weird. But can be good to grind tokens in certain tours! I'm usually not a fan of the Tokyo Blur ones. Or the ninja ones.

[hollow dove]

I dislike DK mountain a lot on tour because it’s so janky to drive on

[spice obsidian]

Yes that one was a big fail. Just doesn't work for Tour in the last 1/3 of the track. And would've been better if they made jumps of the bumps in the grey rock area.

[hollow dove]

Indeed. Also, while bowser’s castle 4 is a great track, it kind of doesn’t really work in tour plus it doesn’t have any t variants at all

[spice obsidian]

Has R and T tho, right? Probably RT as well. Are other tracks that only have regular, R, T & RT. Mostly the city tracks that have more than that

[hollow dove]

Only R, not T and RT

[normal eagle]

ngl, getting real sick of being tunneled out in the event queue for dbd

[spice obsidian]

Ah that one! Yeah that one is truly bad

(had to check YT 😂)

[hollow dove]

It’s actually a good remake since it’s actually unique and doesn’t blend in with the other gba bcs but tbh, it should have been added to mk8dx bcp instead

[spice obsidian]

No risk of it being different in every lap then either As they did with many other Tour tracks in 8DX.

[hollow dove]

Indeed. Also those tracks on mirror mode are a nightmare

[normal eagle]

"what game is he playing?" obviously the answer is not mario kart world so its probably a cat game

[charred axle]

I've Gotten Every Single Sticker, which Means that I've Now 100%'d Mario Kart World!

[wild shale]

[sand wraith]

This is Arbites setting his bodycam before "peaceful duty"

[plush moon]

Pluh

[lyric beacon]

i have been doing this all day and it's been so relaxing omg
though I forgot how many parts the bigger things will have, I fear the 3000 piece one (not really)

got The Great Wave as well and it's got 15 parts and some other stuff, but that's only a little over half of The Big One (Milky Way)

[ornate zinc]

I love these

[wild shale]

omg

da pretty flowers

[sand crater]

Guys, should i buy the Xbox game pass? And if tho, which one?

[wary loom]

Do you have xbox or pc? Also how many games you want to play there is?

[sand crater]

Xbox

And I don't know how much will I play but I want to play the war games if you know what I mean

Those with the soldiers and the Kingdoms

[wild shale]

apparently p5x story the first few chapters were not written by atlus, but then later on the team got help since people didnt like it that much so it improves drastically

which is funny to me, cause i always feel like persona games stories struggle later on rather than at the start

they usually have great starts, a good middle, then sorta falter in the 3rd quarter, then ramp up again really well in the last quarter

[turbid sun]

The Xbox Meta Quest 3S headset feels so misleading

It's just Xbox branded but the way they worded it and promoted it, it sounded like it was gonna be similar to the PS VR and have its own exclusive Xbox VR games but it just doesn't

I mean it has a cool color palette with a cool Xbox controller with 3 months of Xbox game pass and an elite strap, but other than that, it's just a normal meta quest 3S, there's nothing else special about it inside the headset

[wild shale]

wait

i assumed its a quest 3s but it runs windows somehow

that isnt trueb

[wary loom]

In my opinion the story is not bad, but the problem is that it is called Persona 5 and 1st palace in P5X is heavly inspired by Castle of Lust from P5 and Kamoshida is just far superior antagonist.

Even Alice from P5 Strikers is very good

Although I must say that in terms of Palace build and puzzles they did great job

Beside founder packs

Everything about this blog was a mistake

[wild shale]

yeah i have been really surprised by so far by that

im enjoying my time and i havent spent a dime

[sand crater]

Guys, I bought the game pass standard, hope it'll goes well

[hollow dove]

That # is so funny to me
I didn’t know the world needed to double saving.

[ornate zinc]

Boreeeeeddddd

So uhhh
Hot Take

I still think Sonic Unleashed should’ve been remade with shadow than sonic generation

Since Shadow Generation really only reintroduced shadow’s Backstory, which was split between SA2, Shadow The Hedgehog, and Sonic Battle

[plush moon]

if a remastered were to happen, I'd love to hear how the songs revisited are gonna sound like

[ornate zinc]

Nah leave the songs the same

Sonic unleashed ost is already peak

[plush moon]

Tbh yeah it's also a great idea

[normal eagle]

hi offtopic

[plush moon]

To make it feel like buying the game back then

[tall forge]

Bored and sun burnt

[ornate zinc]

That normal

Well the sunburnt

[tall forge]

I went to the beach yesterday and did pretty much nothing but talk to some family and my sisters friends

She wanted todo a beach day cause it was my nieces first time going to the beach

It wasn’t hot at all but instead actually cold later in the day cause it got very windy

[ornate zinc]

Is it a bad sunburn

[tall forge]

My leg not so much

Face yes

[ornate zinc]

Cold bath

[tall forge]

Which sucks cause I put more on my face than body

[ornate zinc]

Can usually heal within a week

[tall forge]

And I even was sitting in the shade for most of the day

[tall forge]

I did that and I have aloe Vera

[ornate zinc]

Since it mostly your face that got affected

I recommend drinking/eating soft and/or liquidly

[tall forge]

Like I didn’t realize how bad it was until I got home and looked at the mirror and saw my face really really red

[ornate zinc]

Oof

[plush moon]

Hope you'll be okay Link

[ornate zinc]

If it a sunburnt he’ll be fine

[plush moon]

Oh

[ornate zinc]

The face is usually one of the areas that sunburn easily

[tall forge]

I have like some weird streaks on my right arm and spots on my leg that the sun screen I guess didn’t get but it doesn’t bother me really

[normal eagle]

i cant remember the last time ive been to the beach

[ornate zinc]

I have a hate love relationship with the beach

[normal eagle]

i mostly just go on the boardwalks but its the vibes that i love

[tall forge]

I liked the beach a lot when I was younger but hated the fact I would always leave getting sun burnt

[ornate zinc]

The Sunburnt ain’t worth it nowadays

[tall forge]

Yeah

I mainly went thought cause it was my nieces first time at the beach

[plush moon]

Oh I guess the healing will be alr then

[ornate zinc]

Hate feeling pain from trip, i also don’t like rollercoaster as well

[plush moon]

Yeah

[tall forge]

My brother in law buried her in sand where her head was sticking out which that was funny

[ornate zinc]

4 rides are not worth the back pain

[tall forge]

She had a fun time

But was also cranky

[normal eagle]

the beach 'near' me has a few arcades that i would play at

[tall forge]

Later in the day cause she had no nap

[tall forge]

The specific beach I went to was just beach

But I mean I live close to the coast

[ornate zinc]

I have weirdly only been at the arcade once in my life if we don’t include chunk e cheese

[normal eagle]

back when i was a kid there was this mall that had an arcade that my dad would take me and my brother to

[tall forge]

There’s several arcades near me

Best one in my opinion is round 1

It isn’t just an arcade it’s also a bowling alley with pool tables ping pong and karaoke

[normal eagle]

would dave & buster's really be considered an arcade? if not then i dont think there is one thats within an hours drive

[tall forge]

Yeah that counts

As long as there’s a lot of games it counts in my opinion

I haven’t played in a Dave n busters

I wanna go to an arcade to play guitar hero arcade

[normal eagle]

my brother went to dave & busters last year and they had a halo arcade game, it was pretty fun

[ornate zinc]

I went to one, they had a minecraft dungeon arcade

[tall forge]

Shops about to change hopefully it’s good

[tall forge]

Yeah when I went to Vegas the hotel had one

Didn’t play it but it seemed cool

[ornate zinc]

Which had collectible cards for some reasons

[normal eagle]

yea mine did too

[tall forge]

There’s coin pushers that have collectible cards that you can trade in for more tickets and if you complete the set you can get a lot

New soccer skins meh

Also noticed so many of like content creator lockers has the magic wings

Glider

Oooh 2 missions

[graceful surge]

Who's joining Artfight this year?

[ornate zinc]

Pretty sure some people back out from doing it this year due to the drama surrounding Art fights a year or two ago

That said, this year’s colors is WLW, while last year colors were MLM, which is a nice color pick.
Though in my opinion fossils are better than crystals in a lot of ways beside like smell

classic x-com muton to break the art block. been tough lately but I got it out

[gloomy shuttle]

This week's Nintendo Music soundtrack is..

"New Super Mario Bros. U™ Deluxe"

The original NSMBU is also an option too, but it takes to the Deluxe page anyway. lol

[ornate zinc]

It a boring pick tbh

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, I don't really care too much for it either.

Would've kinda preferred NSMB for the DS

[ornate zinc]

All the New series sound similar 💀

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah.

[ornate zinc]

That said DS and 3Ds have a bit more of their own identity

[gloomy shuttle]

That's why I was saying the DS version would've been fine and preferable

But whatevs.

[ornate zinc]

Btw, what your favorite powerup, knuckles

In the mario series

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh, I got plenty.

• Cape Feather (World)
• Blue Shell Mario (NSMB)
• Frog Suit (SMB3)
• Penguin Suit (NSMB Wii)
• Boo Mushroom (Galaxy)

[ornate zinc]

Good picks

Btw any favorite in the mario makers series

[gloomy shuttle]

Well, I loved the Mystery Amiibo mushroom from 1.

Even if it mostly acts as a mushroom, it's just fun with all the various Nintendo and third party sprites made for it

[limpid reef]

wouldve preferred wii

[gloomy shuttle]

I guess the Link Power-Up from 2 as well I guess

Because it is a relatively unique move pool comparing to Mario I guess.

[ornate zinc]

Would’ve love if they did metroid or kirby

[limpid reef]

smm2 has the interesting design choice of making half of its power ups feel terrible

(i dont like the link item)

[gloomy shuttle]

A Samus Power-Up would be neat.

Kirby too.

[ornate zinc]

I like the thin mushroom

[gloomy shuttle]

The thin mushroom is funny.

[gloomy shuttle]

Kinda like with the Mini Mushroom to me, though not really useful at all.

[ornate zinc]

3D world felt kinda shoved in there

I wish they did more with the other modes than just classic and 3D world

[ornate zinc]

I love the floatiness of the mini mushroom, and it felt like playing on hard mode
It also unlocked the secret worlds in ds

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah true.

[limpid reef]

AGHAHA IT WAS SO BAD genuinely painful

any level in 3d world style just automatically sucks 💔

[gloomy shuttle]

I've dabbled a bit with the 3D World thing, but I mostly made short race rally maps. lol

[ornate zinc]

It never really made senses

[limpid reef]

which is weird because 3d world itself feels fine outside of depth perception issues

[gloomy shuttle]

4 players in 4 cars, racing to the finish first

[limpid reef]

also most of the items in the 3d world style are terrible??? hammer might be the worst mario item just in general

[ornate zinc]

They should’ve made SMB2 the extra mode than a powerup tbh

[gloomy shuttle]

Same

It should've

[limpid reef]

smb2 item is such a neat idea until you realize you can lose it

and then the level just sort of breaks

[gloomy shuttle]

Though I genuinely wonder how they would even do a new Maker at that point.

[ornate zinc]

Easy, make a switch 2 version, and do updates again

[gloomy shuttle]

They probably could

But if they did, they'd do a Wonder Expansion

[limpid reef]

smm2 is so awful that it cant be salvaged, i dont.. think they should do that

[gloomy shuttle]

It would likely be a "Super Mario Bros. Wonder" style with some notable power-ups added in.

[ornate zinc]

But it would have mouse controls now

[polar sundial]

ah yes lanky mario

[gloomy shuttle]

Personally, I would like to see a true Mario Paint/Artist type of game again.

Even though Maker technically is that in a sense.

[ornate zinc]

I would say SMM2 take away the original game identity
But NSMBU never really had much of a identity to begin with 💀

[polar sundial]

imo 3D world didn't really capture the same vibe 3D land had. both are good tho

I hope they add separate slope tiles and background tiles in smm3 if they ever make that exist

also perhaps the ability to disable the backdrop shadows

[gloomy shuttle]

I get the feeling they'll probably do a "Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Switch 2 Edition". If anything.

[ornate zinc]

3D world did give us peak bowsers

[polar sundial]

fury bowser is way better

imo

[gloomy shuttle]

Like a new story expansion or mode.

Ala, New Super Luigi U.

[tall forge]

Furry bowser and fury bowser

[ornate zinc]

Cat Bowser is actually good cause it actually turn him into a cat than a Guy wearing a cat costume

[limpid reef]

the menu wasnt really.. built for that, it wouldnt fix a lot. would be nice in a void, though

[gloomy shuttle]

Imagine DK with the Cat Power-Up. lol

[ornate zinc]

Tbf the new game kinda have animal transformation

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah. lol

[ornate zinc]

So we might see something like that

[gloomy shuttle]

I definitely expect more Bananza Power ups.

[tall forge]

I forgot what’s in the shop today I think it was more or less meh

[polar sundial]

they could add more level challenge mission things like from smm2 story mode 👀 also they have plenty more nintendo characters to reference in the mission requester nicknames

[gloomy shuttle]

I can't see it just be the three.

Since they also allow a feature to tag around them quickly.

[gloomy shuttle]

We likely won't get that til July 15th at this rate.

[ornate zinc]

My vbucks is slowly stacking up

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm waiting to start getting The Crew again later this week.

[tall forge]

I still want that cowboy raccoon

[ornate zinc]

I’m gonna have like 5,000 or 6,000 vbucks when the next update come

[gloomy shuttle]

Before the 6th-7th.

I currently got like 5,100.

[ornate zinc]

I’m at 3,000

[tall forge]

Same

[ornate zinc]

Then crew which is 4,000

[gloomy shuttle]

I'll have like 6,300 at least when I get it.

[ornate zinc]

15 days means i would have at least 5,300

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm hoping the Cowboy Bebop Collab re-runs again so I can get Faye Valentine.

[tall forge]

Face doesn’t feel as burnt now at least

[ornate zinc]

That good

[ornate zinc]

I wonder if they’re doing part 2 for some of the collabs in season 2

[gloomy shuttle]

Adventure Time & Cowboy Bebop definitely are ones that will get a Wave 2.

[ornate zinc]

Gunter backbling

[gloomy shuttle]

Cowboy Bebop still has Jet missing and he wasn't referenced in the first Wave

Not even in the backbling that has Ed & Ein showing up there.

[gloomy shuttle]

I predict we'll see Fionna & Cake as one of the characters.

Maybe Simon too.

[ornate zinc]

Depends who the third character in fionna and cake

In season 2

[gloomy shuttle]

True

[ornate zinc]

I don’t think simone will be it, cause his story is kinda basically over now with betty

[gloomy shuttle]

But yeah, they'll likely do more with Adventure Time since there are a couple noteworthy characters in that series.

In before they add the Banana Guard as a Fortnite skin. lol

[ornate zinc]

Peak

[gloomy shuttle]

If they can in Multiversus, they probably wouldn't be an issue in Fortnite. lol

Since they still work with a human-like anatomy.

[ornate zinc]

Kinda hate how all the passes end at the same time

Cause it leave nothing to grind for

[gloomy shuttle]

All but Music

I kinda don't mind if it means I can take a break on the game for a bit.

I'm genuinely curious about Season 4 though.

Even though rumors are saying it's an Space/Invasion type of season again. I would like to see what potential collabs might show up.

[ornate zinc]

I just want fnaf

[tall forge]

Nah not the festival one

[gloomy shuttle]

Steven Universe could maybe happen if we get another WB Collab and it's space related.

[tall forge]

I would drop money on a fnaf collab

[gloomy shuttle]

Then again, when did Adventure Time have to do with a Bank Heist. XD

[tall forge]

That Vegas money

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, if it happens then cool I guess?

I am also curious on how this year's Fortnitemares will go too.

[ornate zinc]

Technically Jake is the only character that fits

[gloomy shuttle]

Technically yeah.

[ornate zinc]

no

The Fortnite community is not ready for garnet 😭

Also the rest of the characters are either too small or too skinny

The only one that could probably fit is steven

[tall forge]

Yeah shops lame today

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, it also hasn't stopped characters like Chun Li & Ms. Incredible either. 😭

People are just weird.

[gloomy shuttle]

Amethyst could "technically" shapeshift her body at anytime like this. It's not what she is normally most of the time, but there's been cases.

[ornate zinc]

true

[gloomy shuttle]

While Pearl isn't too impossible per say as she has human-like proportions. Because then again.. we had cases like Cleveland Brown.

Who normally isn't that tall from show and into Fortnite. lol

[ornate zinc]

True but the problem with pearl is that she basically a free headshot

[gloomy shuttle]

Because she has a big head? ._.

[ornate zinc]

Yep

And she cled shaded

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, so is Jake.

And Finn

And Princess Bubblegum

[ornate zinc]

Kinda, his head is actually a bit lower than the head hitbox

[gloomy shuttle]

And Marceline

[ornate zinc]

True true

I guess pearl can fit

Btw favorite Rebecca Sugar song

[gloomy shuttle]

Here Comes a Thought is one of them I loved

I love a lot of the songs from Steven Universe.

[ornate zinc]

She also made a lot of songs for Adventure Time

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah like Everything Stays

I know she was involved on Adventure Time prior to SU.

But yeah, that's always been the catch with cel-shaded type characters for a game like Fortnite.

[ornate zinc]

Love Rebecca Songs in SU

[gloomy shuttle]

Same

[ornate zinc]

But my favorite Rebecca song in Adventure Time song is Time Adventure or Everything Stays in the Garden

SU it hard for me to pick, stronger than you is Nostalgia for me, but not for SU

Uhhhhhh i think Love like you is my favorite, but peace and love on the planet earth, and don’t be so blue is behind

[turbid sun]

Also tbf multiversus was never truly limited to specific and fair hitboxes in the same way that Fortnite is

Multiversus can add giant characters like iron giant and small characters like the gremlin from that one movie with no problem

Fortnite on the other hand, is limited to humanoid hitboxes at a decent and fair height which is unfortunately very limiting

[gloomy shuttle]

I just meant in the sense where they just randomly put them as a character.

[turbid sun]

oh fair

[tall forge]

Barely escaped

[tall forge]

Well now my face is starting to peel

[ornate zinc]

ewwwwww

but it is a good sign

leave it alone tho

[tall forge]

Dang festival 2 weeks in a row only got 1 song

Guess good thing I started getting into rock band

Only issue is it’s guitar controller only or drum controller. And I sometimes like to play on regular controller

literally no surprises there, it 100% looked like donkey kongs odyssey

Can we call it Mario Odyssey 2 or nah

[wild shale]

unusual for nintendo to announce that, but everyone knew

[wary loom]

my fingers are highly against it

[sand wraith]

What a creature

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, visually it's clearly from some of the EPD8 team going by both Mario Odyssey & Bowser's Fury. lol

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, they typically like to not speak on that often.

[tall forge]

I doubt anyone here plays fallout 76 but like the last 2 updates have been balance updates and this next one coming up whenever is yet another combat balance update. Which is slightly annoying since every combat update I have to redo my builds with weapons. However at the same time allegedly this next one that’s coming up will make my main weapon I use a whole lot stronger

[long marten]

logged into party animals just now to claim the fox and it was definitely worth it at the end

https://tenor.com/view/fox-eepy-fox-gif-6546267490486860812

[hollow dove]

I didn’t know /j

[orchid tree]

since fall guys is in the same universe as fortnite, Does the zero point explodding affect fall guys?

[polar sundial]

probably not bc the entire fall guys planet is covered by a giant dome

[orchid tree]

exact same thing as fortnite tho

But on the current fortnite island it was created because of a zero point shard hitting the map which made the reality bubble, the reality bubble is protecting the island and the shard from threats such as the last reality.

[tall forge]

Another lame shop

[gloomy shuttle]

I got the money for The Crew, though gonna give it a couple more days to fully renew it

[tall forge]

I didn’t realize how good epic rewards was so now me is moving my crew over to epic instead of PS especially since ps stars is ending

[ornate zinc]

Tbf, you’re really only gonna use epic rewards for like 2 games mostly

[tall forge]

Yup

But still

20% is kinda a lot form purchases

And it will add up overtime

[ornate zinc]

True

Not much use for this month tbh

[tall forge]

Like knowing that I’ll get 20% back might as well buy v bucks and show bucks on there now since I can get like a lot of cash back

Well not directly but you know what I mean

[ornate zinc]

stw vbucks are gonna stack up this month so we should be good for like the next two months

Saves v bucks

[tall forge]

FC the solo but i missed 1 note at the start of the song

[ornate zinc]

been awhile since i heard ocean man and plano man

[tall forge]

Ocean man is a custom song I have piano man isn’t

Meaning all the visuals during the solo in ocean man was custom made by someone who wasn’t a dev

Gonna stop playing since me is getting tired

[ornate zinc]

sleep

[tall forge]

Nah not sleep

But take a break

Or just stop playing for today

Like tried physically with my hands

[orchid tree]

if your wondering if you should buy fortnite crew i have it AND ITS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT

The new guitar emote is also very nice

[ornate zinc]

I’ll be honest this is the most nothing shop, like 4th of july stuff during Christmas

Epic should be ashamed

Yeah

Not as bad

Skin isn’t peeling much anymore either

Nose is the only issue

[ornate zinc]

That good to hear, give it like at least another week for it to heal

[gloomy shuttle]

I bought the new original emote

I kinda like the way it vibes.

[tall forge]

The guitar one?

[gloomy shuttle]

Yes

[tall forge]

Yeah I like it a lot

[gloomy shuttle]

One of the first new original emotes I've bought in a little while

So I cooked up a loop, what do you think?

I forgot the Switch app can finally post videos you clipped into it

Here's another

[long marten]

and yet it's way faster to download stuff rather than scanning a qr code 2 times

[charred axle]

I Haven't really had a Chance to Play GC NC Yet, although I Think I'll Wait until the Library Expands a bit more before I Give it a Go

[ornate zinc]

Honestly I’m curious if they’re planning to put Paper Mario thousand year door on it

[gloomy shuttle]

Not anytime soon probably.

Same for games like Pikmin 1 & 2.

[ornate zinc]

Thing is, link awakening original GB got emulated and a remake

Also mario sunshine should also be coming

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it'll be coming soon.

Mario VS. Donkey had a remake

Where's the original GBA version then?

[ornate zinc]

I guess

Can’t wait to play melee

[gloomy shuttle]

Not saying it won't happen tho.

[ornate zinc]

Wii emulator when

[gloomy shuttle]

SAME, but it won't be for a long while probably too.

I expect at least a semi-monthly slate of GameCube games until like 2027-2028 where then it just slowly adds over other games.

[ornate zinc]

I wonder if they’re planning to release kirby air ride on it

To like hype up the new game

[gloomy shuttle]

It's certainly possible they will, BUT I don't think it'll be near Air Riders release.

It's the same why we probably aren't getting Double Dash til next year or so at the very least

[ornate zinc]

I wonder with the pokemon direct if they’ll reveal info about the switch 2 edition having exclusive features

[gloomy shuttle]

Maybe? Though I think we'll probably see something like a new Mega form maybe

[ornate zinc]

Nah they wouldn’t lock that behind a exclusive feature

[gloomy shuttle]

No, not as an exclusive feature!

I just meant generally.

I doubt there's much new content to the Switch 2 Edition besides just performance boost.

[ornate zinc]

Then why encourage people to get the new switch 2 versions

[gloomy shuttle]

In the same way Metroid Prime 4's Switch 2 Edition is doing.

Nintendo is just being greedy. :/

[ornate zinc]

Better be like deltarune where both versions are free

[gloomy shuttle]

Nah, it's reported to be a $10 upgrade.

[ornate zinc]

Better than 20 bucks i guess

[gloomy shuttle]

Kirby & Mario Party are the $20 upgrades.

[ornate zinc]

Kirby has exclusive content
Which knowing the team, it worth getting

[gloomy shuttle]

Forgotten Land is honestly the only Switch 2 Edition I care about.

[ornate zinc]

Idk, but kirby has never really had a bad game, just a meh game at worst

[gloomy shuttle]

Same, I love Kirby.

[ornate zinc]

It quite impressive for a series that like 30 years old

[gloomy shuttle]

I'll be honest, I just don't get nor care with Jamboree TV.

[ornate zinc]

Same

[gloomy shuttle]

The BOTW & TOTK upgrades are fine enough, though without the Expansion Packs are $10 separately for some reason.

[ornate zinc]

BOTW fans are gonna eat it cause it has better framerate

God i hate them

They’re the main reason why we got 80 dollars

[gloomy shuttle]

I think the idea of Switch 2 Editions are cool on paper, but it needs to feel somewhat justified especially with them being paid upgrades.

Kirby is just the one out of the many that's selling me to one.

[ornate zinc]

Need more content to justify the extra money

[gloomy shuttle]

Exactly

Besides the big story mode expansion, I also am curious to see how it runs on Switch 2 now within the original game.

Because it did ran really well despite a few bits and pieces like the draw distance.

[ornate zinc]

Btw, knuckles what your favorite kirby game
Mine is amazing mirror

[gloomy shuttle]

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

[ornate zinc]

Super Star Ultra and Planet are a close second for me

[ornate zinc]

Very valid

The game still look good to this day

[hollow dove]

Na, greed more like it

[gloomy shuttle]

My Top 5 mainline Kirby's are essentially:

1. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
2. Forgotten Land
3. Planet Robobot
4. Return to Dreamland
5. Kirby Super Star (haven't played Ultra)

[ornate zinc]

Ultra is basically a remake of super star, with a new code of paint, and quality of life stuff
With more features

[gloomy shuttle]

I never fully played the Ultra remake. ;-;

I kinda wished I did.

[ornate zinc]

You know how in every kirby game you can unequal a ability and a star pop out
But the original super star forced you to make a partner or make a item to get rid of a ability, ultra allow you to unequal by the bouncing star ways

[gloomy shuttle]

Nice

[ornate zinc]

It also make the original not really worth playing

Ultra is a type of remake that basically beat the original by a long shot

To counter rising development costs, Nintendo is going to explore making games with shorter development cycles.

They are also making investments in their development teams to preserve the way they've always made games. https://t.co/8BZqmmfg4p

[wild shale]

interesting

so smaller sized titles id assume, closer to a AA game

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah potentially, which makes sense and maybe could eye for some smaller-scale games to appear.

[wild shale]

honestly id love for nintendo to reuse more assets for a smaller title

cause nintendo really doesnt do that at all

[gloomy shuttle]

Nintendogs is one I think would probably be that.

As an assumption.

[wild shale]

[gloomy shuttle]

Maybe more spin-off projects?

[wild shale]

yeah

i was thinking something like

you take wonders engine and design and do a large expansion style side game

[gloomy shuttle]

New IP's in akin to Drag X Drive? Which are relatively small in scale.

[wild shale]

theres no chance that DxD is being developed by a nintendo team we have ever seen before

[gloomy shuttle]

It's likely EPD4.

[wild shale]

what do EPD4 do?

[gloomy shuttle]

Switch Sports

[wild shale]

i could see that

hey theres an idea, a sequel to switch sports or ring fit, using alot of assets from the first one

[gloomy shuttle]

I could definitely see a Ring Fit sequel happening

[wild shale]

wait

epd4 could be doing tomodachi, since they did miitopia

[gloomy shuttle]

Probably yeah.

[wild shale]

i mean both isnt unreasonable tbh

considering how small of a game DxD looks like

[gloomy shuttle]

They also did Welcome Tour apparently. lol

[wild shale]

oh lol

EPD7 did tomodachi life and rhythm heaven

i wonder which one they are doing now

[charred axle]

Nintendo Cube Helped with Development of Welcome Tour too

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, I just checked on it.

[gloomy shuttle]

Likely Tomodachi Life, but they could technically have done both

[wild shale]

im really curious as to what 2026's big hitters will be from nintendo

[gloomy shuttle]

Nintendo Cube is basically the guys that do the Mario Party games for those unaware

They used to be "ND Cube" back then

[wild shale]

oh yeah

ofc thats them lmao

[gloomy shuttle]

They renamed them to that now.

[charred axle]

Explains the Mini-Games in Welcome Tour

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah.

They mostly have been the "new" Mario Party team when Hudson Soft wasn't there to make them anymore after 8 I believe.

[wild shale]

yeah

i mean theyve been busy making a new mario party every two years

but those are a great example of reused assets

[gloomy shuttle]

Three years

[wild shale]

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, for almost every three years. They do a new Mario Party.

Expect the new one to happen in like.. 2027/2028.

[wild shale]

and now they are doing an expansion

[charred axle]

Same. I'm having Trouble thinking of what they could do, Especially since they Brought a lot of Franchises to the Switch 1

[wild shale]

i have a couple ideas

f-zero and animal crossing

[gloomy shuttle]

I am "confident" that we're getting a new Next Level Games project in 2026.

[wild shale]

oh splatoon spin off yeah

[gloomy shuttle]

And it's Weegee's Spooky House #4

I mean- Luigi's Mansion 4.

[wild shale]

that or a new sports game

finally... mario and sonic 2026 olympics

[charred axle]

no way
boo! haunted house! 4

[wild shale]

oh we might see nintendos mmo next year

[gloomy shuttle]

My current prediction is this right now:

• Fire Emblem (Spring)
• new Mario Tennis (Summer)
• Animal Crossing (Summer/Fall?)
• Luigi's Mansion 4 (Fall)
• Pokemon - Generation 10 (Holiday)

[wild shale]

now

i wonder of what ports we might get

marvel rivals is like 100% gonna happen

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh and Pokemon Gen 10.

[wild shale]

i dont think we will get a new pokemon gen yet

[gloomy shuttle]

Nah, it's gonna happen.

[charred axle]

Camelot would probably make the Sports Title

[wild shale]

they broke their cycle now and are taking their time a bit more

[gloomy shuttle]

They can still put out a new Pokemon game a year later.

It's no unusual for them.

[wild shale]

i think we are more likely to get a switch 2 sequel / 3rd version of scarlet and violet

[charred axle]

Praying that Bandai Namco Helps Make another Baseball Game, Now that Sakurai's Making Kirby Air Riders

[gloomy shuttle]

Apparently Legends Z-A was almost gonna be in 2024.

[wild shale]

yeah

they delayed it thank god

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah they did thankfully.

[charred axle]

I feel that RDR2 and GTA is Possible

[wild shale]

maybe a pokemon spin off next year

[gloomy shuttle]

I personally am not that concerned on Mario spin-offs nowadays.

[wild shale]

or a remake

[charred axle]

Feel like a Xenoblade 4 is Possible too tbh

[wild shale]

oh

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't think next year tho.

[wild shale]

yeah ofc i forgor about that series

i think we will find out about it next year

[gloomy shuttle]

2027 for Xenoblade or new IP would be likely

[wild shale]

pokemon champions is probably next year also

[long marten]

isn't pokemon champions that one free to play battler again

[wild shale]

it aint free but yes

[long marten]

ah

[charred axle]

I feel like we're definitely gonna get more Switch 2 Editions Down the Line, Considering they want to make them One of Three Main Game Types

[wild shale]

please... smash bros ultimate switch 2 version

[gloomy shuttle]

Because so far, MonolithSoft with their own games have consistently been this:

2017: Xenoblade 2
2018: XB2 - Tornado
2019: N/A
2020: Xenoblade Chronicles - Definitive Edition
2021: N/A
2022: Xenoblade Chronicles 3
2023: DLC
2024: N/A
2025: Xenoblade X

[wild shale]

then we can put off a new smash for a few years

[gloomy shuttle]

So I think 2027-2028 is likely for a new MonolithSoft title.

[wild shale]

like, a new mode, a fighters pass worth of characters, and like some small additions, boom ez

[long marten]

I'd imagine that we'd get a new 3d mario in like 2028 mainly because we just got dk for this year

[wild shale]

its be a full $20 usd upgrade tho

[gloomy shuttle]

2029-2030 honestly

[wild shale]

i feel like its closer

if its any later than 2027 itll be a full decade

[gloomy shuttle]

I had to wait on an Air Ride sequel for 20 years

I got patience. lol

[wild shale]

thats different!

im gonna be 100% honest

now is a really dumb time to do kirby air riders

like... right after mario kart

why

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, that logic could've been the same if F-ZERO did it too tho.

[wild shale]

yeah

but like theres no chance it does that well

[gloomy shuttle]

It will do fine.

[wild shale]

especially if its a full $70 usd

[gloomy shuttle]

Not great than Forgotten Land, but no worse.

[wild shale]

people will 100% pick mario kart over it, and when there is like only 4 games for the system they probably wont pick 2 racing games

[gloomy shuttle]

I bought the Mario Kart World bundle, but even I still wanna get Kirby Air Riders.

[wild shale]

funny thing is, i think itll be the better game

[gloomy shuttle]

Because I LOVE the Kirby series. XD

[wild shale]

i like mario kart world, but its problems arent just minor problems, they legit bring the games rank down like a full 3 points

[gloomy shuttle]

I know people joke me as the "ARMS" guy.

[wild shale]

hey i mean arms got a patch didnt it?

[gloomy shuttle]

But Kirby is my true favorite Nintendo series.

[wild shale]

[gloomy shuttle]

It did.

[wild shale]

i love kirby games, ive owned 4 of them

never finished them

wait no thats a lie

[long marten]

and yet it kept appearing in the nintendo todays about the switch 2 before it launched

[wild shale]

i finished forgotten land, didnt 100% it tho

which i am gonna do with the expansion

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm definitely planning to get the Forgotten Land expansion.

[wild shale]

peak...

also that game seriously will benefit from better performance

looked amazing, but the framerate especially enemies

[gloomy shuttle]

I wasn't too keen with the draw distance in spots.

[wild shale]

just saw at the end of the RHG trailer it says "codeveloped" by TNX

[wary loom]

I wouldnt buy Mario kart world outside of bundle

Online is atm... Not doing great

Also knockout tour should have more tracks

https://youtu.be/FUw04a1kNwU?si=9dATgoHDNyutQBUT

[wild shale]

knockout tour only having 8 tracks is miserable

should be 20 minimum

item balancing is kinda annoying (bagging is still a thing)

online random change is so stupid

im ngl

the open world... is bad

like its fine to explore

but the world design isnt up to nintendos standard

lots of obtuse places, plus areas that should have something but are just empty

litterally zero rewards

[gloomy shuttle]

To be frank, I wasn't really that excited for the new Mario Kart

Because while I like the games fine, I've kinda been less with the Mario series a little.

Not that I don't enjoy them from time to time, but I've been wanting to explore my palette a little more.

[wild shale]

im the same with everything mario except 3d mario

[gloomy shuttle]

3D Mario I still enjoy a lot

[wild shale]

im in a minority that just thought mario wonder was "good"

[gloomy shuttle]

But I'm not worried about one tho cuz DK Bananza is coming! 👀

[wild shale]

i dont think i struggled with any of the mario wonder challenges stages

[gloomy shuttle]

A new 3D DK in years and it being by the EPD8 team. And they are cookin' so far.

[wild shale]

besides the litteral last one

i think ive played too many hard games

[gloomy shuttle]

I think Mario Wonder looks fine, it's definitely a step up from the part portions of the "New" entries

[wild shale]

visually i like it, gameplay it doesnt really feel like an evolution to me

just the next game

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, and I also felt the boss variety was eh in Wonder too.

[wild shale]

yeah

lots of platformers struggle with bosses

[gloomy shuttle]

I wish we had boss variety in akin to the original New Super Mario Bros. on the DS, man.

Wonder could've benefit this so well with the idea and maybe have a couple unique bosses especially with the Wonder Seed.

[wary loom]

Sonic frontiers had awesome bosses

And in dlc they were hard

[gloomy shuttle]

But yeah, for me with the Mario series. I do think visually nowadays, they look great and fun.

I dig the look with Wonder & MK World aesthetically.

[wary loom]

Kirby also has good bosses

[gloomy shuttle]

Ye, Kirby has had good bosses too.

They still manage to make Whispy Woods somewhat unique at times. lol

[wild shale]

im not sure id describe frontiers as a traditional platformer it has combat

if a game has combat is usually has better bosses

[wary loom]

Then we have shadow gen

[wild shale]

yeah true!

[limpid reef]

first 2d mario with good controls

i do wish the special world levels were harder though

they were sort of just there

[thick granite]

Dead space is a horrific game

[gloomy shuttle]

Currently playing Ridge Racer 64.

[normal eagle]

you mean to tell me a horror game is horrifying

[thick granite]

Sometimes some of the corpses reanimate as you walk past them and it gets me every time

[normal eagle]

that would freak me out too

[normal eagle]

i love that people are saying springtrap is a C tier killer now... he really isnt

people are just mad that you need to actually put in effort to get him to work

[sand wraith]

I have a friend who actively play and he has played lot of years and keeps telling how stupidly strong he is

[normal eagle]

yeah he can be strong, but people are acting how a few addons got nerfed (rightfully so) and now hes a mediocre or even outright terrible killer now

if you wanna see a weak killer, take a look at trapper... poor guy has been the same basically since launch 😭

or skull merchant, a killer that has a 0.57% pick rate and has been nerfed to such a degree that even players that love playing her say dont play her 💀

[unreal ibex]

I love some of the cosmetics for skull merchant but hate going against them

[normal eagle]

so uh... i just someone intentionally bodyblock me at the exit gate and cause me to lose

not the killer... the survivor

[ornate zinc]

I forgot to tell why i was nosy
So the other day or technically last week I saw someone I didn’t think i would meet in there

I guess i shouldn’t have been surprised since we were both furries, but this was a person I heard, and know about, but never actually meeting.

It actually took me awhile to realize who they were in the first place, So i was curious aka nosy, and wanted info, i guess put the puzzle back together.
I got the basic info like how one of their sona was adopt at some point etc etc.
But the rest of the info was uhhh questionable and a big red flag for me
It does put into question why anyone would want to have a relationship with a person like that

[normal eagle]

i hate how if i want to play killer in dbd i have to endure a almost 5 minute queue every match

[normal eagle]

i got accused of cheating in dead by daylight 😭

[hollow dove]

They should make a way to make your own knockout tours frfr

[ornate zinc]

@tall forge lmao the clyde’s skin still isn’t here
