It depends on what it is, really. The Animal Crossing Direct didn't really do much for me, Indie Worls are fun but nothing worth losing sleep over, and Pokemon Directs leave my contemplating life itself. But when a General or Smash Direct hits just right...
As much as I want Geno, this direct is so much more to me. If it's this week, that gives a huge amount of extra credibility behind Zippo (having perfectly nailed the AC direct's date of 2/20), and they've leaked a ton of stuff I really, really pray is true (like Paper Mario 3 and Metroid 5). Of course the DLC reveal is a big part of it too, but to just be given another (PROPER) PM... Eeeeeee I want that damn announcement already! DX
Maybe,but I kind of doubt it will happen any time soon.
Yeah, it's almost like ruining two well-beloved series with awful decisions will upset people and not nearly as many people will buy bad games over good ones... You can bet your butt that Color Splash suffered greatly due to Sticker Star, and even worse because it too is a terrible game. Dream Team was also pretty bad and Paper Jam was very mixed.
Was Dream Team that bad? I played it and thought it was very good, though maybe I got lost in a few levels and one was annoying for a bit (in that bright, cloud-city(?) level, whatever it was, including its bosses)...still, I think I enjoyed it almost as much as PiT and BIS. Didn’t play the original Superstar Saga, though I did enjoy the remake.
The story and characters were just nonsense. "Pillow people"? Luigi constantly having random narcolepsy? Also the tiny mini-areas to explore really quick got extremely tedious and, dare I say it, tiresome. If you like it, that's totally fine, but it's not for everyone like the first 3 before it were.
Hey, your opinion is your own and no one can take that from you, but I'm definitely going to disagree as I finished 3 games and didn't finish the last out of being so bored with it. BIS was amazing for me. PiT not quite as good as SSS/BIS but still a solid game.
It was bad, so very bad. Especially after having Super PM not being an RPG before it, many of us were expecting a solid RPG entry, especially after being delayed quite a lot because it was "too much like Thousand Year Door". This is what we got instead. Hilarious that the man who says a delayed game is better than a bad one ended up ruining this one with its delays. Sticker Star falsely advertises itself as an RPG, except battles are POINTLESS and the optimal way to play it is to skip literally every optional fight since there's no benefit to fighting as you actively lose your attacks and items. Most idiotic system ever.
Lord help you. I hope you corrected that mistake...
Okay good, you did, but man what an awful introduction to Paper Mario to have Sticker Star be your first. For the record, PM64 is exactly like TTYD, but not *quite* as good. But both are still extremely enjoyable games I will continuously go back to every so often, just like SMRPG (which I actually played a randomized run of literally today, haha).
I think SPM is a good game if you just ignore that "Paper" part in the title. It's a bad Paper Mario game, but still solid overall. No plans to ever return to it though; I one-and-done'd it and that was more than enough for me.
They predicted the future, that an insider one day would reveal to us that Geno is coming..
The world of #AnimalCrossing: New Horizons comes to #PAXEast in Boston from 2/27 - 3/1! Attendees will have the chance to try the first-ever hands-on demo of #ACNH before launch on 3/20, and can experience a full-scale immersive booth experience inspired by the game. pic.twitter.com/JpMVAVSan2

They're waiting until e3 to get the gex costume just right.
That’s true. We also have this afternoon as well if we take the AC direct announcement into consideration.
10 AM PST? What makes you say that?
I agree with all of the things said about Sticker Star, but Super Paper Mario is a great entry in Paper Mario and switching over to action RPG isn't anywhere near as much of a crime as people made it out to be at the time and still make it out to be at this day. It's a shame to think that if it hadn't been a Paper Mario title, people probably would have probably gone ape**** for it. Sticker Star and Color Splash, however, would have been bad no matter who was on the cover or what the title was. I don't know what they were thinking, but it wasn't anything good.
Been feeling this way since Terry, if not shortly before - I've proven on multiple occasions that I have a poor grasp on time. The only thing any of us can hope for is that Sakurai is a man of his word, and when he says he doesn't like to string people along, he means it. I know there's a lot of folks who'd say "you're stringing yourself along, believing in crackpot theories", and if this were a case of paying too much attention to the set design in a direct again, I'd agree, but we're looking at pretty hard evidence. Geno's costume is missing despite having one really obvious chance to show up and six chances otherwise (I'm counting the bonus Mii costumes for pass purchase as a chance as well). He's missing alongside fellow fan favorite Lloyd Irving - it's not like Geno fans are even ignoring that fact. Something weird is going on with one or both of those costumes and if they come back as costumes, we got strung along, full stop.
As pointed out in PapaGenos video Nintendo has the biggest event space out of all the companies at PAX East. It seems really unlikely that all that space is going to be taken up by only New Horizons even with the full-scale display.
They need that space for the line that they project will have at least 90% of the convention goers standing in it.
That may be true but considering AC is a huge game, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the only demo there.
Let this be a public service announcement to all the Geno detractors out there - it's never too late to change your ways. Don't forget what Papa John said - the day of reckoning is coming.
You used to say that? Oh, that is interesting.
My journey went from:
Well. it may be too late for those at GameFAQs, anyway, if you know what I mean.
Yeah, there is no changing those losers.
Most will probably claim to love Geno after he's revealed, many will probably still hold on to their resentment because they're GameFaqs users. If Geno ends up being B tier or higher, they'll all hate him again because he's "broken" and "low IQ".
I guess you could say they already lost in a lot of things in life, even if Geno somehow doesn't get in this game. If that happens, those GameFAQs guys won't have won anything, while still looking like losers.
Too late. By the time they claim to love Geno upon him being revealed, they will be known for bashing him from before already, and they will be hunted, tracked down and finally captured.
Wait, what exactly did PapaGenos say this morning?
I remember (around the same age) I was watching some video about most wanteds for the 4th Smash (This was well before Smash for Wii U and 3DS were announced) and Geno was brought up and I had basically the same reaction you did to Smash Kingdom lol. I payed little to no attention to him for a while as I really only cared about getting Mewtwo back for most of Smash 4 lol.
He said because they have such a huge booth that they're about to show something off real soon, potentially something big. He sounds like he's making guesses, but he does have a handful of 1st and 2nd hand insider sources so I wouldn't be surprised if he knows more than he's letting in in the video.
And honestly? I really don't have much sympathy for Nintendo right now with their issues with leakers. Yea, it really sucks to have things leaked, but they have been so pointlessly secretive for the last few months that ironically leakers have been the only source reassuring fans that things exist for the Switch this year. I can't take their leaker outrage seriously when they have been dragging their feet so badly on releasing news. They retweet the VGAs, only to have 3 games shown, none of them first party. Then they go silent for almost two months after that before finally giving an AC direct less than a month before the game releases. And I bet PAX will also have barely anything. Basically, Nintendo has shown potential for big news and hints, and then defying expectations by having nothing.
