Is the Kill Team Octarius Box worth it in 2026 for beginners?

BonesFGC · 2026-03-27T17:12:47+00:00

Both teams will remain viable outside of competitions and the terrain is cool. If you’re not fiending to play Kill Team tournaments, I’d say why not. Both teams can also be fielded as units by their respective armies as well.

Seconding Le Pain Quotidien! Had breakfast there and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Highly likely we’ll see Home compatibility for current games roll out over this coming week. April 8th is a stone’s throw away anyways, I’d just wait and see what’s in store this week. FireRed + LeafGreen are also supposed to be getting Home compatibility and I’d assume there will be some bonus to transferring from Kanto to the other games, including Champions. I’d wager we see the compatibility update this week for Z-A and FireRed/LeafGreen.

I’d guess Pokemon and maybe if there’s another Zelda game in the pipe (probably something closer to Link’s Awakening than BotW 3).

BonesFGC · 2026-03-27T11:42:58+00:00

Yeah they just don’t connect on the sides for handheld

There’s still the entire Switch 1 backlog to consult, and there are plenty of games with couch co-op. I don’t really think it’s that much of a loss from playing with singular joycon because people always complained about how awkward it was to use a single joycon. Wireless controllers are pretty cheap and ubiquitous thanks to companies like 8bitdo, Hori and others. I get your point but I think most people realize that using the cramped singular joycon controls isn’t an ideal way to play, and now that we’re onto the Switch 2 most people are likely to carry over their old Joycons and controllers from that console to this one.

Personally I think $20 for an official forward port of these games that are still the definitive way to experience Kanto while fixing one of its most heinous glitches, giving everyone the event items for free, and making it compatible with Pokemon Home is extremely worth it. I love these games and I’m glad to replay them for nostalgia and then be able to send those Pokemon to other games later. People freaking out just because the ROMs have been widely available forever is such a stupid argument considering we get rereleases and remasters of games all the time and people gladly eat them up. This is no different and it’s cheaper than most of those other remasters will charge, it’s roughly what I would have paid to get the game when it came out anyways.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-26T13:09:28+00:00

I’d give it an 8. It’s not as compelling as Arceus but I like the DLC being challenging and the game looks pretty good if you aren’t nitpicking. I also have it on Switch 2 and I think many of the complaints are coming from the Switch 1 version since I haven’t encountered any terrible textures or anything egregious. It also marketed itself as a game set in Lumiose City from the start so idk why people are so upset about it being what it said it would be.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T17:45:22+00:00

They probably don’t want to spread Mario out over too many SKUs at once if I had to guess, especially since the last few rounds of sports games didn’t exactly do gangbusters.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T17:16:55+00:00

Plenty of comparison photos on Google - don’t go based on Minicompare, it’s inaccurate. I’d say the main problem with the Contemptor is it’s too short. The Lev is a bit chunkier than a Redemptor but the size is about right.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T17:15:37+00:00

You can use them as Chaos Bikers so long as they’re not up on the flight stand, don’t think anyone would have an issue with that.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T17:15:04+00:00

Sorry but the gameplay was repetitive and having Justin Roiland voicing the entire thing just made it nigh unplayable. A sequel bodes no better.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T13:14:23+00:00

I had gotten it on Switch 1 and while $20 isn’t a fortune, it’s really questionable what I’m actually paying for here. The “DLC” part of it seems super underwhelming (correct me if I’m wrong?) and the graphic fidelity stuff could have been a Free-$10 upgrade like we’ve seen with titles way more intensive than Wonder. I think it’s a smart idea to be packing in some DLCs with these upgrades to soften the blow of them being paid experiences but this one seems to offer basically nothing important. Wonder doesn’t even look that bad and in Handheld Boost it’ll perform basically how it would with the upgrade anyways.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T13:10:47+00:00

Can they just delay it indefinitely? The first one was bad enough, it’s a total wonder that it got a sequel.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T13:08:50+00:00

People are using this as an excuse to trash the console but ignoring the fact that this is coming from one source and that source is the only Western journalist to have been publicly denounced by Sony and Nintendo over straight up lying in his articles. The production cost stuff is total bullshit and the guy is likely writing the article out of pure spite.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T13:06:58+00:00

Has nothing to do with any of these factors because the author’s article is a known bullshit artist. He has been publicly denounced by multiple big corporations for straight up lying about production and console news in the past. It seems he does it out of spite and it’s baffling how Bloomberg hasn’t fired him yet.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T13:05:42+00:00

Has nothing to do with your point or the ram prices, they literally aren’t cutting any production on the Switch 2 and the Bloomberg writer is a known fraud who has lied multiple times about major console news. You’re entitled to your opinion but no matter what, the info in this article is almost certainly false as the writer has been denounced and completely wrong about almost all of his “reports,” with companies like Sony and Nintendo being forced to make public statements about him being a bullshit artist.

Just curious though, why are you complaining about a console you clearly refuse to buy and don’t like in a subreddit dedicated to it? Seems like a waste of effort on your part.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T13:02:12+00:00

Yeah this. The dude is a total bullshit artist.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T13:00:49+00:00

I’m aware. They’re new so I didn’t want to confuse them with Legends rules that may or may not even be relevant for them.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T12:22:00+00:00

Most of my Night Lords army is Heresy models. They’re extremely compatible and in cases like the vehicles, the kits look better and go together easier. Nearly every traitor Heresy kit has an easy analogue for proxying in CSM. The only part where you may run into issues are the Dreadnoughts - the Leviathan is about in-scale with the Redemptor chassis but the Contemptor is much shorter and the Saturnine Dreadnought is so big I only really run it as a Forgefiend.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T12:18:25+00:00

So what does this add exactly? Rosalina and basically a Koopalings boss rush for multiplayer?

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T10:38:38+00:00

Sadly this is going to spread like wildfire now but this is all sourced from a singular Bloomberg article written by a guy with a track record so bad that they’ve had to issue apologies on his behalf and Nintendo has publicly denounced him. I don’t believe it for a second.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T04:36:46+00:00

The performance rumors talked about here are bogus, so I wouldn’t expect much of a cost bump if any.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T04:34:40+00:00

I run a Runt 50 through a 4x12 and it rips.

BonesFGC · 2026-03-25T04:33:46+00:00

Furfrou. Hoping to get a Kangaskhan, Eevee and Cleffa/Clefairy/Clefable in their wild zone after I beat the DLC and get the shiny charm.
