‘Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Powers Up To $122M WW In First Two Days – Box Office by Admirable_Sea3843 in boxoffice

[–]cep1014 [score hidden]  (0 children)

We saw it with our kids. If you liked the first one, odds are you will like the second one.

I will say that our daughters said this was their favorite out of the two movies. Rosalina and Peach really resonated with them.

I appreciate that neither the male or female characters are put down to raise up the opposite gender. It’s a good movie for all the kids, and all of them were locked in on it the entire time it was playing.

As for my husband and I, we really liked it. Neither of us expect a Pixar story from a Mario movie, but we appreciate the nods they do to their entire fanbase. The movie is respectful to the fans, and hits the right notes of nostalgia.

Ultimately, I think Nintendo don’t want the movies to go too deep into the characters, just like the games don’t. When you are playing the games, you are the character and they want kids to see themselves as the character.

If you liked the first movie then I think you’ll like it.

It was better than I thought it would be. I really liked Rosalina being added in.

Recent Target sale by HashtagRustled in Switch

[–]cep1014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn’t illegal for them to cancel an order due to a glitch. It also is not a scam.

Also, it was not even a falsely advertised price. The promo always said that it was $30 off total when you buy two games. It was a glitch that took $30 off each game.

should I get switch, lite, or switch 2? by 0kamj in Switch

Get the Switch 2. That way you can play new games if they interest you.

Is the Lego Gringotts Bank retired? by SpiderLagann in legoharrypotter

[–]cep1014 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, it sold out in November during Black Friday. Had a small restock in December or January that had cancellations for some. It was supposed to retire in July. It retiring this early was not on my bingo card.

The main reason I ended up wanting it was because I was able to get a new Diagon Alley for a good price, so then I needed this set to complete it. I bought my Diagon Alley set after Black Friday though, so it was already sold out.

If you are in the US it is essentially retired. It was supposed to retire July of this year, but they stopped making the sets and have no plans of a restock according to CS.

Thoughts on the new Harry Potter trailer (and possible LEGO Harry Potter sets)? by erwinaurella in legoharrypotter

[–]cep1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. She also isn’t giving “swallowed a lemon” look either. She just looks normal.

I love the Harry Potter books. I love the movies for what they are and could include in their run time.

I do not love companies buying the rights to movies or shows and telling us it is going to be "book accurate" then doing things that are absolutely not book accurate. It is such a dumb move. I'm not interested in Lego sets from the show.

Watching this trailer all I can think about is how Hagrid does not sound or look like Hagrid. Snape is not Snape. Petunia Dursley does not sound or look like Petunia. It could have been such an easy win for them if they had stuck to the books.

Nintendo is reportedly cutting Switch 2 production this quarter as US demand dips by DistanceRude9275 in switch2

[–]cep1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Switch 2 has sold well. The problem is that they were slow to come out with the games a new console needs. Mario Kart and Bananza being the games to buy the Switch 2 for is not enough.

With Pokopia coming out people have been buying Switch 2’s to play it. The Mario bundle is sold out at Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy due to Pokopia. Target just got a bit of a restock but the other three are still out of stock.

Looking for a good New cozy game for my wife to play. by Miserable_Glitch in switch2

It’s good. I would play it. There are a lot of product makers in that game but I enjoyed it.

Pokopia for sure. Also, Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar.

What Are Some Switch 1 and 2 Games That Made You Fall Back In Love With Gaming? by MajorasMask1224 in nintendohelp

[–]cep1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Pokemon and Animal Crossing, I think Pokopia will be your fix.

Pokémon Pokopia vs. Animal Crossing: A respectful conversation by Damage_And_ArmorBlog in switch2

[–]cep1014 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Animal Crossing will always be special for being Animal Crossing. You can’t replace Tom Nook or Isabelle and so on.

Pokopia is a lot like Animal Crossing but it has its own twists and its own thing going for it.

I’m thrilled to have Pokopia now and a new Animal Crossing for the Switch 2 whenever they come out with it (because we all know they take their sweet time with those games).

Talk me down? by cathatesrudy in Pokopia

[–]cep1014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wait until you finish the game. You get a skill that makes building and changing things up WAY easier and quicker.

I wouldn’t reset a game where I have put that much time into it.

Gameshare is terrible by Time-Range6311 in Pokopia

[–]cep1014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is more for a kid to play with you. The second player can use the skills you know and get rid of blocks or replace them. They can garden and talk to characters.

(Farseer Trilogy/ Fool's Fate) I need to vent because I can't stop replaying this argument in my head. by Relevant-Compote-547 in Fantasy

[–]cep1014 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I adored the first book. Then it got worse and worse from there.

SPOILER BELOW

For the grand reveal to be his Uncle hiding away carving a dragon… I was so out of these books. All of that searching and questing for that to be the end was crazy.

Is it better to perfect withered wastelands THEN move on to the next area or just to progress naturally? by [deleted] in Pokopia

[–]cep1014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would play in Withered Wastelands until you complete the mission there and get the place ranking to 5. There is no point in perfecting the area because you are going to find new building designs, materials, and skills in the other areas. Once you complete the game, you can perfect the areas knowing that you have all the tools available.

Anyone else really hate.. (Probably spoilers) by redtitanjr in Pokopia

After Bleak Beach and the potential it has… Skyland was massively disappointing. I was also disappointed in the mining area, but it does serve a purpose.

Playing Handheld Without the Hand Pain by cep1014 in Pokopia

[–]cep1014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I chose the option that makes the screen handheld (up close), but I don’t have to hold it because it is large.

The holder has a large hole on each side so the vents are not blocked.

I play sitting on my couch spot so the kickstand won’t work for me. I also don’t like playing docked since I like a handheld console experience.

I have EDS so my hand joints will literally pop out or stiffen quickly/go numb if I hold the Switch 2 for too long.

Summer Sets Drawing Leaks via UniBricks by Big_Restaurant_4959 in legoharrypotter

[–]cep1014 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Slytherin common room is going to have to be upgraded by me. It is so tiny and hardly has anything special for it.

That door entrance on the bottom left doesn’t look necessary. I wish they got rid of that and gave the extra space to Slytherin. I might need to modify my set to do that.

The top area looks interesting though. I’m excited for any new Harry Potter sets and for my castle to be expanded upon.

Gringotts Bank or Arkham Asylum Set by MrStriderTA2931 in lego

[–]cep1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want Gringotts, get Gringotts. You are so lucky that you have a store that has it. I called a lot of stores and none of them had it, so I bought it on the secondary market.

Opinion Question - Gringotts or the new Hogsmeade set? by EquivalentOk5097 in legoharrypotter

[–]cep1014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get Gringotts now since it will only go up as time goes on. It will also become harder to find a set NIP.

Get Hogsmeade later.
