Engineers! Look out for that media only post buster!

The price of everything doesn't help. Not looking forward to potentially spending $520 just for a game that I don't even really gel with.

You could borrow someone else’s copy, they did announce in the previous direct digital copies could be lent out for 2 weeks and the save data will still be kept

OK so I'd only have to spend the $450. Assuming the price stays the same in the states.... I mean at least it will still play most of my switch 1 games and if they get the issues sorted out with the few I own on their "no go" list then maybe I can sell my original switch to make back at least some of my money... god this all sucks.

Well...

Spoiler: Bananza leak

I don't think the Odd Rock's story will be quite so cut and dry. I mean if that's really Pauline/Smalline/whoever she is, then I doubt it's just another "Your new friend is actually a part of/connected to the antagonistic force, and will disappear in a cloud of sparkles after sacrificing themselves to destroy the final boss." plot. There's gotta be something different going on here.

Spoiler

God I wish they did this from the start and hope the reveal happens pretty soon. I am immediately more interested in the little girl companion than the rock.

Ignore this. Wasn’t thinking when I posted

I don’t know why I try to offer consolation

I'm sorry. I appreciate the gesture. Thank you for trying to make me feel better about this whole thing.

No I’m sorry. That was rude of me to make that remark

GameCube NSO news got me going back to listening to Pokémon Colosseum soundtrack.

That's some good ****!

I don't really like that the Minecraft movie was directed or written to rarely take itself seriously, but if this becomes a new meme format for video games in general, I'll gladly accept that.

Banjo-Kazooie related opinion question: do you think more than 10 jiggies per world is a good idea? Tooie gets flack for being too big and even it only had 10 jiggies in each world. Tools-Laylee upped it to 20 pagies per world and other collectathons have numbers all over the place (I don’t think Mario has ever had the same number of collectibles per world). What do you think? Is 10 a good number to stick with in a new game, or should there be more?

If the level itself isn't too large to navigate and be boring, than it should be fine. 10's a cromulent amount.

As for Mario, Sunshine typically had 7 or 8 main Sprites, and then the 100 coin one. Same with 64.

Looks like the retailer I normally use for buying physical games lowered their price of Switch 2 games.

Ok the belmonts have that Nintendo history. The first smash castlevania character needed to be Simon.

I get that. It's just Alucard's cooler.

Also technically he does as well, he was in Castlevania 3

To be honest I’d rather have had Twelve Tales.

I was never crazy about Conker either. It’s funny, but it isn’t that funny. Most of its novelty comes from the meta angle of Rare’s last big game on the N64, which revolutionized the 3D platformer, being a piss take on the genre.

I’m glad the game is how it is though. I feel like the original version would’ve been forgettable in the grand scheme. At least Bad Fur Day has a place in history as one of the weirdest games to touch Nintendo hardware.

I’d rather have a more standard/forgettable game that I actually have fun with over a game that’s super memorable but isn’t actually that fun to play any day.

Like Bad Fur Day just doesn’t have a basic gameplay loop. The only reason I kept playing after a while was “everyone says this game is a masterpiece, I guess I gotta find it in here somewhere”. Maybe if they had still built a collect-a-thon platformer around the inappropriate jokes and movie parodies I’d feel differently but they didn’t so I don’t.

I see you fell victim to the “early 2010’s Nintendo YouTuber making every N64 game sound like a gift from the heavens” syndrome.

Very common, sadly.

Just found a fan comic online and now I ship Rosalina and Pauline.

And in “Nintendo why” news, the NSO Gamecube controllers will only work with the Gamecube app.

Despite the fact that the Gamecube controller adapters (even the ones from the Wii U) work across all games and that the other NSO controllers are also usable in all games.

I mean yeah. But I mean I did really like banjo-Kazooie and Battletoads and killer instinct so when I see this game get a lot of praise and it’s on the collection I own of all these games I’m gonna play it.

I think you kinda had to be of that era to think it’s a masterpiece though. Like now it feels more subversive when something made for adults isn’t full of bodily fluids and swears.

Apparently that message only appears in the UK video and it appeared previously with the SNES controllers.

I have yet to check myself so this is only what I've read.

I once saw someone saying Rare is the reason we have stylized indie games with mature themes.

N64 stans are something else.

Hollow Knight Silksong physical edition for Switch 2 has just hit one of the largest chain stores in Poland. This chain store also doesn't rely on rumors, and the date is set at 2025 just like in the Direct.

I'll be using my Switch 1 controller that's model after Gamecube's if that's the case.

I remember watching a review over Conker, and I remember one of the comments was like "Conker is a better experience than it is a game".

The reviewer also said that Live and Reloaded was the better game despite the censorship which imo is a scorching take given how N64 Rare fans are/were

“Separate the art from the artist” ahh take, the game is the experience.

The closest take to a modern Conker was probably High on Life, or maybe that one British game about that tiny British man that I forgot the name of.

Oh it is. The controls are better at the very least.

 

[cashregister9]

I saw people talk about Conker all the time, but very rarely did they ever talk about anything other than the fact that these cartoons are gasp saying swear words

Okay but don't you know cartoon characters doing mature stuff is actually much more poignant and meaningful than icky realistic humans doing the same?

 

[StormC]

Conker is very much a product of its time, but hell the amount of voice acting they put in it is extremely impressive for an N64 game.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Conker is excellent and a great product of its time. It would be interesting to see what they do with a sequel, as long as it’s not just a live service version of its multiplayer. But like… it would need to be handled thoughtfully and in the context of how it, the landscape of video games, and the landscape of adult oriented media has changed.

Or they could just take Chris Seavor’s development build of Twelve Tales, finish it, and release it and I’d probably be way happier but whatever.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

No other game has a pile of **** sing opera so as far as I'm concerned Conker's Bad Fur Day is a masterpiece

This is such a *ing scathing take holy * lmao.

Acting like I only mentioned one game smh

98% “That animal just swore!”

2% “Why am I feeling a certain way for this sunflower?”
