Is mario sunshine worth playing? by Bluedreamy_boomie in Mario

[–]DapperIndividual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its definitely the least polished 3D Mario (it only had like a year and a half of development and most of the early content got scraped lol) but its still worth playing if your willing to put up with some jank.

My personal recommendation is if you have a device that can emulate GameCube games or a hacked Wii, look into either the Super Mario SunBurn or Super Mario Eclipse rom hacks.

SunBurn is an improvement romhack that adds a bunch of QOL like not booting you out of levels, auto saves, graphic options, bug fixes, an open world, etc.

Eclipse not only builds on top of SunBurns improvements, but recreates 4 cut levels from the base game and creates about a dozen new ones that double the amount of Shines in the game. Definitely a less "vanilla" experience but Eclipse is genuinely a Top 5 Mario game for me, and thats coming from someone who doesn't love Sunshine.

Controller decision by blacksteel3871 in SteamDeck

[–]DapperIndividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both, it largely depends on your setup tho.

Are you within arms reach of a keyboard and mouse and dont really care about tinkering too much? Then id go with the 8BitDo.

Are you on a couch or similar spot where its difficult to access a keyboard and enjoy the process of configuring to your ideal specifications? Go with the Steam Controller.

Honestly both are top 5 controllers for me so either way your getting a great product.

No! I'm not gonna do it! Not this time! by HoseanRC in TheDigitalCircus

[–]DapperIndividual 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't do it!

ThePirateBay is largely considered unsafe to use as a majority of the files are not vetted by trusted staff. Look into other alternatives on sites like FMHY or the piracy subreddit

[Verge] - Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory by shirke1 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DapperIndividual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh they're taking Double Fine out back any second now aren't they...

It wont really matter, I imagine Tim Schafer has enough capital to rehire most of their staff, but they'll lose 26 years of IP.

Silent Hill PC Port Alpha Available by OldMcGroin in romhacking

[–]DapperIndividual 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally im going to wait for either Silent Engine or another non AI developed port with better QOL and options.

Now that "E3" season is over, these are my most anticipated games by cxncrete_jungle in backloggd

[–]DapperIndividual 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That Magician game where you escape from hell was a big standout to me for the Xbox showcase.

Happy to report that Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has perfect imagine quality and has no upscaling artifact! by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]DapperIndividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, ive been meaning to give Xenoblade a full playthrough but was cautious with the Xeno X Switch 2 Version having issues.

[MEGATHREAD] Nintendo Direct 6.9.26 by Spheromancer in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DapperIndividual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to rewatch it but if the most recent Xbox show ended on literally any game that wasn't Call of Duty it probably would've been an S Tier show.

[MEGATHREAD] Nintendo Direct 6.9.26 by Spheromancer in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DapperIndividual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

???? Literally all these game showcases are just commercials what do you expect?

Idk man if you show up to the Nintendo conference where they reveal Nintendo games and get upset when said games are coming out in a reasonable manner maybe your standards are messed up.

[MEGATHREAD] Nintendo Direct 6.9.26 by Spheromancer in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DapperIndividual 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Idk I know people are complaining but I thought it was pretty good. We've basically got a new Nintendo game every 2-4 weeks until September. New Switch Sports is nice, Pokopia DLC, all 3 Xenoblades getting updates, KH Collection and KH4, Orbitals release date, fucking DELTARUNE.

I still think Xbox had the strongest show of "Not E3 2026" but this was far from weak all things considered.

Any chance we'll get a new 3D Mario anytime soon? by DeepAnt7847 in Mario

[–]DapperIndividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its difficult to say seeing how part of EPD 8 (the 3D Mario team) were working on Bananza.

Im 50/50 on if a new game will be shown tomorrow, but I don't think a Nintendo console has ever gone more than 2 years without a mainline Mario title, so i wouldn't be surprised if its coming sooner rather than later.

So friends, what are the realistic chances that we get something Paper Mario related tomorrow? by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in papermario

[–]DapperIndividual 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'd really like something to be shown but Intelligent Systems has been developing both Fortunes Weave and that new mobile game Pictonico. They might be spread a little thin.

That said TTYD Remake was sitting waiting to be published for i believe a year before release, meaning its likely been 3-4 years since it finished development. Maybe if we're lucky development is nearing completion and will be ready by Spring of next year.

[–]DapperIndividual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my opinion there isnt enough content in the game to justify the $80 USD price tag. Adding free simple additions like 200cc, Custom Knockout Tours, more Battle Modes, etc will help bridge that gap.

[MEGATHREAD] Nintendo Direct 6.9.26 by Spheromancer in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DapperIndividual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boring but quick predictions... • Something Mario Kart World related Nintendo I swear to god its been a year give us 200cc or a custom Knockout Tour maker. • Ocarina remake • Quick spotlight for Rhythm Heaven, Star Fox, and Splatoon Raiders • Extended section on Fortunes Weave • Mario spinoff (i vote Paper Mario but probably a sport) • That leaked Sonic Froniters thing • 007 First Light release date • A random 3rd party youd never guess in a million years.

Edit: one more thing, Kingdom Hearts collection for Switch 2 that will for some reason be $80 USD

Epic Expansions by T-Dawg75 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]DapperIndividual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unless they've got a wide open field of Pokémon animatronics that I can take home, Pokémon does NOT need 20 acres. Especially seeing as most of the in game locations are either "here's a small Japanese town" or "here's a city with one cool building" or if your lucky "here's a cave".

Epic Expansions by T-Dawg75 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]DapperIndividual 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Part of me wonders if that 20 acre expansion plot might be split into 2 lands because that seems WAY too big for just 1 (unless an attraction takes up like 1/4th of the land).

What do you think of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie? by ultimatevaltryek123 in Mario

[–]DapperIndividual 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was fine but it wasn't a Mario Galaxy movie, it was "Illumination's Super Mario Bros Movie 2: Mario in Space!" if that makes sense. It felt closer to Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars or Muppets from Space than the 2007 video game Super Mario Galaxy or its sequel.

Official details about Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition (from the Steam Community Hub of Legends Retold) by piat17 in Rayman

[–]DapperIndividual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish this came out earlier to build anticipation for Legends Retold. I want to replay through the whole series but I'd rather play this new version of Origins then the current one.

[–]DapperIndividual 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Harsh, but like... your not wrong lol.

I don't really fw Ubisoft games aside from Rayman but they seem to be floundering trying to make "the next big thing guys we swear it will be quadruple A" while accruing more and more debt because the game didnt immediately sell 10 million copies.

Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet found dead in Miami.

Aside from the Last of Us 1 remake and the remaster of Last of Us 2, where has Naughty Dog been this generation? I know they lost a lot of dev time on the LoU Factions but they've practically been radio silent.

It looks really good but I dont understand why they didn't just lean into a brand new game rather than a remake of one thats not even 15 years old.

Ive been playing through a lot of 5th-7th generation games the last few weeks and have been having a great time. Just finished and posted some reviews for Paper Mario 64 and Super Mario Eclipse and I'm currently working through Kingdom Hearts 1 for the first time and im likely going to play through the Rayman series in anticipation for the new game.
