interesting that invasions made up such a small percent, but left the biggest impact in terms of ruining my friends’ and I’s time.

I think you have the wrong impression of One Piece. Sure, the anime is full of filler, but not the source material (but this is true of most weekly manga to anime adaptations). There are continuous set ups and pay offs to mysteries throughout the series. But, like any good story, the ending hasn’t been revealed yet…

I would still love to see Final Fantasy 7 get a remake.

I snapped them in two before. Wasn’t proud of it. Found it may have stemmed from self esteem/self worth issues. The idea of “if I can’t even play a game competently, then what good am I?”. Walked away from competitive style games and I’ve felt a lot better.

i think the best way to get into a monster hunter game is to have a guide. a friend who plays and can help explain things and show some of the more cryptic stuff. cause from all the monster hunter games i’ve played, NONE are good for beginners. capcom puts in tons of tutorial things, but none of them are very helpful…

I remember jumping right from Secret of Mana to this one and being really impressed with the visuals and design, but SUPER bummed how the battle system locked the screen in place. I loved the free exploration of Secret of Mana’s battle system. It made the game feel so slow and tedious.

looking rough “at the moment”, huh?

I can see them releasing more iterative versions that are more like the ps3/360 days: versions with more storage space. Encouraging users to upgrade, especially those who got the digital-only editions. 

For those with pretty powerful gaming PCs, what do the Xbox Serieses offer that the gaming PC cannot?

yeeeeah kind of a bummer, but dude! he’s got smash representation! that’s more than a lot of big gaming icons get. not ideal, but still neat. shows grasshopper is in good graces with Nintendo and that can’t be bad either.. right?

Yeah I played a minute of NMH1 in handheld mode and they map the motion prompts to the joysticks. I thought that’d not be as engaging, but the little bit I played so far was kinda fun. Think I’ll still dock it and go with the joycons for extended play though.

yeah that stood out to me too. the NMH announcements and first look at gameplay was the biggest deals in this direct, but it feels like it’s just given a passing mention with the least interesting looking and non-nmh-distinct image possible. Wonder what the deal is there?

Yeah, I get the want to standardize this, but why not make it the other way around? I mean, the O and X symbols in Japan literally mean success and failure. In the west we don’t really have an association with those symbols. “X marks the spot” I think is specific to like treasure hunting and stuff, which even then “X…

I don’t quite understand your reply here, I was saying you may be able to get this 3D all stars thing in a couple years for cheaper based on prior business practices with the last anniversary Mario release. Not sure what that last anniversary Mario release not being the version that included SMW has to do with…

I’d have to assume the original line is “So long-a Bowser” just like Mario says others lines such as “Let’s go” sounding like “Let’s-a go” or “Thank you so much for to playing my game” sounding like “Thank you so much-a for to playing my game-a.”.

hey, they did re-release the last limited Mario anniversary celebration title, the Wii disk with Super Mario All-Stars on it, as a budget title down the line. So you may be in luck just yet.

i dunno. or Dark Edge. Which that’s cool and all, but it seems a lot of these Sega collections have a couple of games left out or added here, making Sega fans in a hotspot to keep buying their collections for one or two games.

meh, not real interested in yet another way to play the same games Sega’s been porting forever. but if they’ll release a trackball version that includes Sega Sonic, then they’ll pique my interest. be nice to play that game the way it was intended. emulating that is rough.

I’d have agreed with your sentiments, but then I remembered they have that soccer game. They’ll definitely put that out at least.

I believe those “more classic maid outfits” are Promised Neverland characters?
