I still can't get over that I'm an actual ****ing lamp.

That's hilarious.

Lol same. I’m half expecting that underneath that power armor you’re probably wearing like… a FF uniform or Dragon Quest cloths.

Nah, in the comic Noi just posted I was outside the armour and I was just wearing a normal dress which is cool.

Wouldn't mind a Dragon Quest reference, but if I see anything about the Fantastic Four or Marvel in general It better be a really small thing and not what this site wrongly thinks is my whole personality.

The second best joke on the whole thing is centered around this.

You’ll have to wait and see what it is.

I'm also currently saving all of this in my phone's gallery, in its own section.

for big fans of Rise of the TMNT like Wademan94 …movie has likely been delayed to next year

[BlondeLombax]

I'm watching the TRG Colosseum Sticker Star bonus stream, and it's got me thinking; did Nintendo ever deliver a statement in regards to the hostile fan reception to the changes made from that game going onward? Considering how hated it was (plus the tanking of Color Splash, especially for a Wii U game), I feel like some sort of PR statement would be necessary.

Edit; you wanna watch, here you go.

SS was the best selling PM game at the time iirc, so there was no need to release a statement. The closest we got was that they didn't find out that people hated Sticker Star until Color Splash was nearly done, and they promised to do something different.


Don't let the propaganda fool you btw, Color Splash bombed mainly because it was a 2016 Wii U game

Yeah, iirc Colour Splash was the last main Nintendo Wii U game for a while at least until BotW (could be wrong doh).

So yes, It wasn't gonna sell that well no matter the outcome.

Probably was.


It was the last Mario game on the Wii U.

 

[BlondeLombax]

This stream is showcasing to me just ow much is just borderline fundamentally wrong Sticker Star is, despite having never played it myself;

1. An all-item battle system that barely provides any worthwhile rewards
2. Boss fights with a heavier reliance of the dungeon/chapter items than Zelda
3. Enemies respawn every time you change screens. Stickers don't.
4. Adding onto 1, severely limited inventory space that only expands with every boss cleared
5. And even then, the stickers and their sizes eat up your inventory, so you're out of luck if you want a lot of specific kinds of stickers
6. A lot of the puzzles are convoluted; you'd likely never know about them without a guide (a bit like Chulip, but not nearly as interesting)

 

[SneakyLink]

Boss fights with a heavier reliance of the dungeon/chapter items than Zelda

I once beat the first boss of Sticker Star without using the thing to make it easier and the game said something along the lines of "that was a tough battle, you should have found the thing to make it easier".

To this day I have yet to beat Sticker Star.

 

[Shroob]

Sticker Star has one saving grace.


The music slaps.

 

[Deleted member]

My first Paper Mario game was The Origami King.

People seem to be really mixed on that one, I personally found it neat and enjoyable.

And for that matter, probably one of, like 3 Jack-O crouch images that's suitable for good boys and girls.

Man I'm feeling weird. Got the vaccine 9 hours ago and my head kinda feels like it's full of floating cotton balls.

Spoiler: Nintendo DMCAing stuff there’s bad words in it.

Nintendo's legal team has stepped in to end development on fanmade Metroid project Prime 2D

To the surprise of few, Nintendo has caused the death of another fan game based on one of its properties. Prime 2D, a reimagining of Metroid Prime, but...

Look! LOOK! What the f*** is this? Completely unsurprising.

Alright, WARNING: GONNA TALK ABOUT DREAD TRAILERS, SO SPOILERS AHEAD.

Spoiler

For everyone that saw the latest trailer, I think we're all good on the point that this big bird is no good.

However, This could be the second Chozo that we have seen this far, 'cuz if you remember the little teaser Nintendo put out a while ago, you might remember this fella.

While it's possible those two are the same Chozo, considering how different they look and the fact he bow to Samus (or at least show respect to her) & the flashback show them apart, I think this Chozo is gonna be a ally or at least be less evil than big bad bird with a canon shotgun over here.

But yeah, what do you guys think? (here's the teaser for whose who ask for it)

Spoiler

Based on the teaser we got back in Samus Returns with the 100% chozo memory, I feel that the armed Chozos are gonna be part of a community or group which go for violent methods while the non-armed ones are defenderse of peaceful manners and attitudes.

And it is possible that Dread is gonna give us an in-depth look at both sides of this Chozo social conflict of sorts.

 

[osby]

I'm gonna be honest. Hearing how Crash and Master Chief are the only good ways to end Ultimate, again and again, is making me actively not want them in the game.

Reminds me of that one Discord server I used to be in where everyone was claiming Dante was a lock and never shut up about It.

I feel bad for ya, as I can imagine how repetitive It must feel.

Spoiler

Yeah, lots of peoples are saying a civil war between The Peaceful & Warrior Chozo is gonna happen in Dread. (after it already happened once in the past)

Which you know, as someone who was cool with the Chozo being those mysterious beings that we didn't know much but truly wanted to help the galaxy & Samus in her quests, it is a really nice change of pace that could make the Chozo much more interesting as a species overall.

That and it make up for the fact Other M basically ignored their existence in all way, not even a Torizo cameo'd.

Spoiler

Yeah, I honestly feel that Dread finally bringing up deeper stuff about the Chozo was a proper way to continue the lore after so long.

The whole thing about Chozo culture has been a constant question mark throught the games, as we just know they were great at building and creating both life and technology, but never truly got to know about all the purposes they had.

I could even see Dread finally answering stuff such as why do the Torizo statues tend to attack Samus and such.

Spoiler

If they do a good job with the Chozo in this game, I be pretty cool with the Evil Chozo becoming the new BIG bad of Metroid, instead of the Space Pirates.

Don't get me wrong, I love the SP, Ridley is and always be my man, but Metroid can't rely forever on the same couple of baddies if it want to evolve it's story & not fall into the "Green Hill Zone Effect" AKA easy nostalgia that contribute not much at best, or at worst, detract from the game itself. (Which Other M already showed side effect of this effect)

Other exemple would be the Mega Man X series, which try to be serious in it's storytelling compared ot the Classic, but Sigma somehow always come back with little to no reasons, which end up being more of a joke after a while. (that and the space pirate have been apparantly completely wiped out, with Ridley being more dead than dead at this point)

Again, it all depend at how Big Bad Chozo live up to the hype, but if he does, I could see a bright future ahead for game post-Dread. Especially since Dread is like the "final" of Samus Arc and the beginning of a new one.

Honestly, I completely agree.

It would be a great way to finish the Metroid Saga as Sakamoto called it, and maybe if Dread sells well enough the beginning of a series of games about Samus handling the problem of the Evil Chozo.

Honestly I can't stop thinking about Dread, looks absolutely perfect as MercurySteam not only decided to adress issues with Samus Returns, namely it's slow pacing, do interesting story **** that everyone's happy with, managing to make crazy ass abilities and most importantly, take notes from every MetroidVania that came out in the last 20 years to make sure it's got a good feel, I really hope this somehow manages to sell 3 million

I feel confident that It is probably gonna sell quite better than the most recent Metroid titles.

The Switch install-base is really strong (even comparable to the Wii), the marketing Nintendo is giving to the game is the strongest they have given to the series in these past years and the game is getting preordered from left to right in all kinds of stores.
So yeah, feeling really positive about the sales of this title.
