Fallen Rib

I occasionally see "Subaseka" for The World Ends With You (Subarashiki kono Sekai) because the game's full title is a mouthful and a half, and TWEWY, while easier to type, is awful to pronounce. Also everyone who plays it is a weeb. And I know how something is pronounced should have no impact on how its typed but I always say posts put loud in my head while I type them so awkward acronyms remain awkward to me even in a non-verbal medium.

If I want to hunt a monster, is Rise or Generations the one to get? Do either of those have fun split screen multiplayer? I will never play online.

Generations has more Game but Rise is a lot more fun, imo.

Plus the QOL improvements in Rise are so good I'll never go back to an older game.

Again a very likpatous story


I got Generations because it was on sale for less than 20 bucks, without it being on sale there's probably no real reason to get it over Rise.

I've noticed there's a Draknek bundle available . Is A Monster Expedition easier than Stephen Sausage Roll? I Love that game but it fried my brain before the end.
And how are the other? Sokobond triggers my zachtronics itch even if it's nothing like it and A good Snowman seems a nice and brutal sokoban.
Cosmic express seems totally different than the others.

It has to do with how Japan shortens game names. See pokemon instead of pocket monsters.

MonHun both with and without space are considered acceptable shortening like saying d2 for Diablo 2 or WoW for World of Warcraft

I'm pretty sure that 9-Volt literally can not beat stages that involve spinning something. You can't throw the yo-yo fast enough.

vv I want to know their thought process for 9-Volt. It feels like he was the last character they decided on abilities for and they ran out of the good ones.

I'd guess they wanted a technical playstyle. Whatever the case, obtuse characters are a choice handicap for multiplayer

Is there no way to just play all the minigames in the new warioware as some kind of infinite mode or did I waste my money

I believe what you're looking for is called All Mixed Up. You're welcome OP.

Not a huge fan of the multiplayer games in Wario Ware. Never really saw it as a party game or anything but i was hoping they would be a little better with the whole "Get It Together" focus.

Eager to see what some of the future Wario Cup challenges are like. The tutorial says some will let you pick the character and get difficulty bonuses based on your choice so that seems neat.

Did anyone pick up Lost in Random? I was wondering how the Switch version performed. It's an easy sale for me since it's written my Ryan North, but I'd rather get it on Switch if the difference between PC/Switch isn't a big deal.

So far it seems to be performing pretty well but it looks like everything is smeared with Vaseline. It's not unplayable but I kind of wish I'd bought the PC version instead.
