Sinnoh Gang is undefeated like LaVar (except against Cynthia.)

 

 

Legends looks insane, BDSP might legit be as good as Platinum, if not even better. Sinnoh saved the franchise.

[RegH81]

Pokemon Legends looking super lit. And Pokemon are gonna attack us? 

 

 

Greak: Memories of Azur looks dope. I downloaded the demo and I'm gonna give it a go after some Pokemon Unite. Greak got a physical release that dropped the same day as the digital version and it's only $40 so I may end up grabbing that.

 

Darius EX+ and Cotton Reboot! are arriving today.

WarioWare got that demo up

 

 

[BornWinner]

As you may know, the new WarioWare game is a bit different with each character having different move sets that change how the games are played. There is already a tier list for it.

 

 

Even though it’s early, I can agree with everything on this list. Wario is pretty much perfect.

[locoghoul]

I would get this but already own Doom 64 and 2016 plus this would probably be like 40 Gb lol

I got in my copy of the Scott Pilgrim Classic edition yesterday from Limited Run. Neat little package, also includes the soundtrack from Anamanaguchi.

Been playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX. Man I haven’t played a mystery dungeon game in a hot minute. I forgot how fun they can be. 
 

im only about 5 hours into the story and I’ve mainly been doing side quests. I can’t even recruit new Pokémon to my rescue team yet but as long as they keep giving me side quests I’m not going to progress in the story. 
 

Also, there’s a shit ton of what they call “wonder gift” codes that give you a lot of helpful items Like permanent stat buff items and items that teach new moves. I haven’t really used any of them yet though.

I've been playing Shiren 3 on PSP and it's really good. Feels like a good balance between the random rng and difficulty. Have yet to feel like the games just fucking with me which Mystery Dungeon games are want to do imo.

I’ve been tempted to get them as I’ve been seeing them everywhere lately but I genuinely have no need for them. I have the neon pink/green joy-cons and I’m more than happy with those. 

[RSG3]

I hear the drift in the Skyward Sword joycons is fixed. Just a rumor tho. 

[DarkSakul]

Why I am feeling that joycon drift is going to plague the Switch till it's end. 
Or they give up on the joycons and go with something else.

Cause unless Nintendo somehow gets brought down in court or some other avenue, them riding the current Switch generation to the end makes the most business sense. Also there may not be a solid fix with the current hardware or prices within the margin they can make money off it.

If you were ever on the fence about getting Bravely Default II it’s 50% off right now on Amazon.

Finally got my Skyward Sword Joycons ... but ended up getting them from Target. GameStop took too damn long to deliver them. Also at the same Target, I found these, and it was an instacop:

I’ve thought about grabbing the Sanrio collaboration amiibo cards simply because I’m a huge fan of Sanrio as a brand and the pack comes with all 6 cards. But I just don’t care enough to go to target to get them. 
 

my sister got her pack though.

Got my first hole-in-one in Mario Golf: Super Rush  a few nights ago. Did it as Bowser Jr., a character I've never been a big fan of in the Mario universe but is surprisingly fun to use in this game.

 

Using Pauline more makes me realize that girl is STACKED!!!

I started Katana Zero yesterday and I really enjoying it so far. It's like a puzzle game with a story more than anything else, at least so far, and I like how what you say affects parts of the game. That was one of the things I liked about Vampyr too.

I told you months ago that Mario made a mistake. Now you know why Donkey Kong kidnapped her.

Yeah it was a cool game and I loved the style of it, but I also felt like it was just missing something when it was all said and done.  I couldn't pinpoint it but I left feeling a bit unsatisfied about something.

It's kind of a mashup of action, puzzle, and visual novel, at least from what I can tell thus far. I like it, but I can see how if you went in expecting something that it doesn't really go all the way with, you'd be disappointed by it.

I think it was just how often it pulled you out of the gameplay.  And the levels were short.  It was like the pacing was just off and I wanted less cutscenes I couldn't control and more gameplay.  It's been a while since I got it at launch though but I believe that is what kind of bothered me about it.

They’re amiibo cards. They were mainly made for animal crossing (406 out of roughly 520 were specifically for animal crossing). You scan them like you would regular amiibo. They do an assortment of things from brining that villager on the card to your village, to give you building materials, outfits, etc. 

 

the hello kitty/Sanrio ones were only available in Japan for the longest time (about 4 years I think? Maybe longer) but were finally released in the west back in March. Which is good cause before the western release the entire set of 6 cards sold for over $200 usd. The reason being is because they came in blind packs of 2 cards. So getting a full set wasn’t guaranteed plus they were limited in printing because Nintendo. 
 

probably more of an answer than you were expecting but here we are.

I got third party Sanrio amiibo cards because the minute it was announced those suckers were coming to the West I was like, "Yeeeeaaaaah, those suckers are SO gonna get scalped." So I was able to get my Sanrio stuff, hassle free.

I'm well aware, my wife's on my ass too about cleaning it. Since this new rise in cases has happened, outside of traveling to Florida last month; we simply do not use our car very often.

That being said, I need to stop slacking and start doing errands in the mornings again, including cleaning the car.

He only ever showed up in Zebes lol. (ZM/1 and SM)

Besides, there was apparently a plan for Meta Kraid in Prime 1 and it's not too far-fetched that the X cloned him just like Ridley.

 

Bro, the movement in this game is so clean. Lawd have mercy.

Aka me. I'm tired of seeing Kraid and Ridley to for that matter. Lore wise it's kind of silly both of these dudes been planet nuked and somehow are still around. 

 

From a gameplay perspective it's just boring now. 

[MillionX]

that new trailer for Metroid is even better than the last one.  This is definitely a day one buy for me.

 

too much to keep up with... I kept thinking No More Heroes 3 would not be out 'til much later but here we are.
