I don't know where else to say this and it was a Nintendo exclusive game so  Golden Sun is just okay at best and my irl friend group needs to get that poo poo off a pedestal because it isn't even the best jrpg on GBA It also isn't better than any Dragon Quest

RCarr posted:So my wife who’s never really been into video games besides playing for 10 minutes once every couple months before losing interest, is absolutely in love with Animal Crossing, New Horizons. You do have a few options, but she might want to start over from scratch, and might want to take advantage of having two islands.

Wow, Great Faerie might be the worst playable character I've seen in a Warriors game lol Do the different versions of weapons in AoC have any purpose other than cosmetic? Apart from Link's obviously.

"Golden Sun isn't that great" isn't an especially hot take, it was interesting for the time but the characterization and writing aren't super great looking back. I wanted to pick up the 3rd game for a while after I was finally able to find a copy of the 2nd and beat it but apparently it was so bad it killed the series.

Sakurazuka posted:Wow, Great Faerie might be the worst playable character I've seen in a Warriors game lol Great Fairy is actually really good in AoC, especially in postgame when she gets a stackable defense debuff that completely breaks the game. (She’s good without it too, the debuff just brings her from solid mid-tier to god-tier). It’s a great change from the original Hyrule Warriors, where she was the worst character by a wide margin. Different weapon models have different stats and innate skills once you level them up enough, but it’s just a progression thing where higher tier weapons are strictly better so you never need to think about it beyond picking the weapon with the highest level 1 stats and leveling it up. They muddy it a bit by making the champions start with special copies of the tier 3 weapons that have stats similar to a tier 1 weapon, but you’ll end up replacing those before long.

The graphics and music are nice but holy poo poo is it boring in retrospect. Like I have a bit of nostalgia for it and I appreciate the introduction to the genre I guess? But I'm never gonna play it again when I could play a good game instead

Len posted:It has more customization than any Dragon Quest i have been assured The class system in Golden Sun is slightly interesting but it would be more so if the game actually made you engage with it. As it is you can beat the game and every optional boss by just using the "give djinn to characters with matching element" so there's little reason to experiment and play around with it aside from speed/challenge runs, and that one part in the first game where you have to make a vine grow to get a chest.

They took the same levels but put faster moving characters can move in all directions. It's still doable, but a step back from the original. You kinda have to have played both to understand.

Not properly a Switch question (Wii U), but seems best place to ask: In Windwaker HD, I'm at the very last step on this page https://www.zeldadungeon.net/the-wind-waker-walkthrough/dragon-roost-island/ However, jump and throw are both the same button, so I can't seem to jump across to the fallen statue without chucking the bomb flower first. Is there a way to re-bind it or something?

I played one level of Mario 3D World, and about 15 minutes of Link's Awakening, and when I took my Switch out to go to sleep it felt like I'd pulled it out of an oven. Is this normal?

I have a switch I just bought two weeks ago and I played BOTW for a couple hours just now and took it out of the dock to see if it was super hot. It was actually fairly cool to the touch.

I've never played any Dragon Quests but I have seen exactly one (1) video of the music being terrible oompah band poo poo so I feel completely confident in arbitrarily deciding Golden Sun was always better.

You kinda have to have played both to understand. they did take away dpad controls but only weird people played with that. the stick still locks you into one of the eight directions with very generous angles. the original game also had "free" movement exactly like this.

I'm interested to see how the Bowser's Fury routing turns out too. Lots of ridiculous movement stuff you can probably pull off with plessie + your choice of powerup + the propellor block. I just let Bowser Jr follow me around but I wonder if you can direct him to stuff and bounce off of him in unique ways too.
