From a mechanics standpoint, yeah. The rest of the draw of Twewy was the present day street fashion style that is now hilariously dated and the story.

Basically what im saying is dont spend 60 bucks on a phone port

What if the phone port is one of two games I care about this year

Downloaded TWEWY and it's fun, feels a little slow to start but that's probably because I'm getting used to the new interface, co-oping with both joysticks is hard but fun.

Amazing that Breath of the Wild’s weapon system had it’s humble origins in one Nintendo programmer being very disgruntled he couldn’t keep Phantom Ganon’s sword

Blizzard were previously rather dubious to a Switch version of Overwatch, but opinions have changed lately. The question is: Has it changed enough?

Paladins at least has proved it's doable, but how Blizzard is going to fit a game the size of around 25 GB into a Nintendo Switch is another question entirely.

By compressing it properly?

Lol Xenoblade one is the most By the books JRPG out there. I never got where the idea is curbed a lot of tropes came from when it plays it so extremely by the book.

It had well executed voice acting and a great villain for the first half in Metal Face

The deejay/Diddy combo definitely raised my eyebrows. Why didn't they use Ryu or Ken lmao. At least with Mr sandman, you actually fight donkey Kong in the new punch out, I'm leaning towards innocent intent there

Maybe there's a reference I'm missing or something with deejay

Diddy mostly fights with kicks

Also in the original Japanese version Deejay had a special where he clamped to the enemy fighter’s face like a facehugger and

I'm entering day two of being sick. I decided Paper Mario TTYD would be a good use of my day after buying it years ago and never playing it. It's pretty fun and chill so far, I'm looking around in the sets below Rogueport. My only gripe with the game is Mario's black, beady, soulless eyes. They are unsettling.

A great purchase, please enjoy it!

Nintendo Direct, 2019: "Look at all dem anime titties."

Who knows, though, maybe in between their exhaustive explanations about jiggle physics they will announce a date for Animal Crossing or something.

I think there will be markedly less anime titty in this new fire emblem compared to Fates.

There’ll almost certainly be one goth gf tittywitch but I expect they’re going to reel it back a bit

Three Houses palette is definitely a bit on the muted side and theres some Tellius game feel to the models but I've been a fan of the few character designs they've shown so far, and the armies of units seem to be a way to try and evoke a 3kingdoms kind of feel that should be neat imo

The designs seem middling to me (I like the yellow kingdom guy) but the artstyle is dreadfully boring

Not being able to practice with a character and learn how they play puts players at an unfair disadvantage when they have to fight against them.

There are over 70 characters in this game.

You’re not practicing with them all to the level where you’ll actually understand the minutia of what makes them good you insane person

It's so weird being part of the last generation to grow up partly before the internet consumed everything. I got a computer in my room when I was... 13 I think? I pretty much immediately ran into some hosed up poo poo, but I was for sure better equipped to deal with it than a kid who's half that age.

My parents were actively trying to encourage me to use the Internet when I was 8 in 2000. Like I didn’t really care about using it and they were basically showing me “hey look you can use this for fun things!”

Then 9/11 happened, I stumbled upon a Kill Osama flash game through a news website and oh look I guess I’m on Newgrounds now.

Oct 9, 2012
I finally realized what it is about the new Link's Awakening's soundtrack that bugs me so much, the live instruments sound so out of place and a lot of the new soundtrack just sounds so subdued relative to the original soundtrack, and I wish the whole game leaned more into the electronic sound

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C_GTxMsKlk like this is great and evokes a ton of the original game's feel, but it would be a lot better without the oboe coming in

thats why its good imo. but also they leaned on the digital sounds the most for that track which i think was also an effective choice

It's 100% a personal preference thing and I know it's super heavily rooted in nostalgia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYjpQ0Z-vfs They replicated the dreamy "pop" to this track really well with the live instruments too, whoever's doing the music definitely gets it, it's just something that bugs me (I think the Mabe Village remix is bad though, the music box was not a great take IMO)

I was told that by a couple people I complained to. Here's the thing: Ganon is also vulnerable to Silver Arrows and that's how I beat him. I've only beaten LttP once. I played it right before Link Between Worlds. There was no loving way I would know to use a spin attack

I was also told you can ram him with the Pegasus Boots but I swear to god I tried that and it didn't work. Maybe I didn't actually hit him? Either way, I'm calling bullshit on that form. None of the other forms gave me trouble. Just beat the game. Got tedious at the end but meh. I liked it overall.

I also didn't notice any frame rate problems.

If you don’t have the Golden Sword in LttP Spin Attacks are the only way to damage Ganon.

I think I had the Golden Sword... In any case, it's kinda bullshit that the game relies on knowledge from a different game for that one bit, and doesn't give you any other hints about it. The game expects me to remember how to beat the final boss of a game I beat... what? 6 years ago?! I can't even remember what I did a week ago, much less 6 years!

The game doesn’t tell you in LttP either!

Did the game actually explicitly tell you how to deal with the slime boss?

There's a lot of negative hype surrounding the new pokemon games. Is it all because of how they compare to recent other pokemon releases? I havnt played a pokemon game sine the original Red, is it a good enough game in its own right?

If your last experience with the games is Red and Blue and you enjoyed them then it’s likely to be a massive step up and worth looking at.
