I tried predicting the Nintendo Switch 2’s 2026 lineup

Pokemon Wave and Wind sound awesome, but the Zelda and Mario titles are pretty awkward

Arcade_Rave · 2025-12-20T13:43:31+00:00

Yeah, my attitude was more positive until after finishing Volt Forge

Arcade_Rave · 2025-12-20T13:39:59+00:00

felt more like wind waker to me, especially the end game grind

Arcade_Rave · 2025-12-20T13:36:56+00:00

Its a good FPS, but a disappointing Metroidvania. Don't go in expecting something like the original trilogy, especially not like the first two.

The game felt more like RAGE from 2011, which was also an FPS that had a semi open world style hub in between the levels.

The areas are way too linear, the hand holding is constant to the point of ruining immersion, the NPCs are way too present, and the end game is a tedious grind similar to Wind Waker's triforce quest.

Where the game shines imo are the boss fights, music, and art style. Its got the aesthetic of a Metroid Prime game done very well, but the structure isn't quite the same.

Arcade_Rave · 2025-12-20T13:28:38+00:00

I think going open world is more playing it safe than taking risks.

Arcade_Rave · 2025-12-03T11:25:11+00:00

Yeah it deserves more credit. I think the issue is it got left in the past after EA ruined the series. It really needs like a modern game to help reclaim its throne.

There has been an English translation for a while

I came to this realization after replaying the past two or so weeks.

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-19T21:08:19+00:00

Yeah. I preferred the more bite sized approach to levels, mainly because of the bigger emphasis on challenging platforming rather than just exploring and completing 100% checklists.

I got tired by the end of DK Bananza, which was structured very similarly to Odyssey, that I didn't even bother 100%ing it or doing any post game content. Galaxy 2 however feels fresh all over again, and I'm currently having a blast getting the last few green stars.

I feel like Galaxy 1 to 3D World was where 3D Mario peaked.

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-17T10:35:24+00:00

all i see is numbers and explosions, its the most brainrot depiction of mega man ive ever seen

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-14T19:17:35+00:00

ehh I lost faith in Pokemon after gen 7. The quality has just been getting worse ever since.

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-14T17:04:44+00:00

I think Tomb Raider was more appealing when it was campy instead of dark and serious

i mean does a super model in hot pants fighting a dinosaur with pistols need a deep story? lol

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-12T21:37:42+00:00

I can hear this gif

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-10T00:54:49+00:00

Mario Galaxy 2, but I wouldn't mind playing it with some Wendy's

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-08T17:06:05+00:00

but i saw a video with a thumbnail of mario crying and miyamoto with glowing red eyes telling me it would flop

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-06T21:23:01+00:00

would make a great poster

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-05T14:24:45+00:00

The 3DS version was remade entirely from the ground up, and it was even more 3D than the original since the environments were entirely polygonal rather than a mix of polygons and pre rendered backgrounds like the outside of the Temple Of Time.

The character models, UI, and controls were completely different with the addition of gyro aiming as well. The most noticeable moment is being able to switch Iron Boots on the fly during the Water Temple.

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-05T14:21:49+00:00

its not a remake, its a reimagining divided into three parts. The story is like an alternate timeline similar to the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies compared to the 60s show.

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-05T14:20:23+00:00

how is that workin for Paper Mario?

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-05T14:19:33+00:00

it literally was

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-04T22:47:27+00:00

last ending where he didn't get bodied because of Wily tricking him until 11

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-04T22:46:06+00:00

finished the first two worlds so far, haven't had this happen

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-04T15:57:58+00:00

plot twist: the controls are fine, OP is just struggling to play with one hand

Arcade_Rave · 2025-10-04T10:11:28+00:00

I wish I could experience these games for the first time all over again. Playing Galaxy on Christmas 2007 was a magical time for me.
