  1. Geez, that is categorically not news I wanted to wake up to. R.I.P to an absolutely legendary artist. The kind of art style that's immediately recognisable. I suddenly have the urge to play through Chrono Trigger again.
  2. N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together

    You absolute swine! That was you!?
  3. I don't call Bravely Default "New Final Fantasy" for nothing, you know? Seems Japan agrees with me.

    Wheel of Fortune worked! On Gros Michel... Which then deleted itself the next round... I hate this game!
  5. Princess Peach Showtime (March 22 2024)

    Probably a bit late to mention this now, but if you put the frosting in the right place, it immediately transforms into much better decoration. Basically, the game's way of telling you that you got it right. Even if you splatter it all over the place, it will trigger the decoration if you put enough in the right place. Barely scraped through that with a perfect score. Only 8 seconds left!
  6. Princess Peach Showtime (March 22 2024)

    The actual gameplay runs smoothly, it's just cutscenes and the lobby area takes a noticeable dip. So, just played the demo. Easy breezy, but presentation values up the wazzoo! (Peach has different running animations for each costume, for example). Also has some pretty devious hidden collectables for the first two levels. So, in other words, it's another Good Feel game with a Nintendo IP. I'm not keen on her voice though. Peach sounds really bored. Which doesn't really gel with everything around her being so glamorous and magical.
  7. N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together

    OK, all fixed. I should be good to go then. Don't have time to whip up a theme image though, so that will be next week.
  8. N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together

    Well, I guess no-one is interested (or able) in playing Mario Kart 7, so I'm calling that off. Normal Mario Kart 8 shenanigans tonight. That said, @Dcubed's place is currently without electricity, so we might not be able to join in tonight. So until I say otherwise, @BowserBasher will have to host.
  9. Probably the best advice you'll ever see on this thread.

    Sorta breezed through Red Stake with Red Deck. Got that 11th deck now, and it's very good. Quickly got a win on that one. I see what @drahkon means by needing a decent multiplier for the early game when the ante rises faster. It is rough going!
  11. Obviously, the DS could never pull it off, but Scarlet/Violet have Pokémon to scale, so they're working on it. Probably why Wailord isn't in that game.
  12. Actually, they do. The Pokédex mentions it a few times. This is the entry from Platinum.
  13. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Online Thread

    Less quick thinking, more paranoia when it comes to your clever manipulation of custom stages. I knew something was up, because who the hell would aim that down!? It was the precise moment I attacked you afterwards where I thought, "Cheeky bugger's put a bomb block there!" Cue the desperate break for the ladder!
  14. Balatro (PS, Xbox, Switch, Steam)

    I imagine that their tiff with PEGI isn't helping matters. Not much incentive, patching a console version if the biggest platform for it doesn't have it available for download. Glad I snapped it up when I did.
  15. Wow, did not expect the Figure Player feature from Smash to show up in this thread! That's fascinating!
  16. Balatro (PS, Xbox, Switch, Steam)

    Naturally, I complained on the internet, so I pulled it off shortly after. Checkered Deck is very much a worthwhile reward! But that will have to wait, because that's the 10th deck and after a relatively straightforward time with Magic Deck, Nebula Deck is the next big barrier. I didn't think 1 less consumable item space would be so bad, but yeah... It's pretty bad. Still easier then Black Deck, mind. I'll get through it eventually.
  17. Balatro (PS, Xbox, Switch, Steam)

    But, what if it works!? Black Deck is very much a step above in difficulty. The lack of hands is utterly painful! Don't last long enough to take advantage of the extra Joker slot...
  18. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Online Thread

    Time matches tonight at 7:30pm.
  19. If you haven't died already, yeah, it's worth going for. Just make sure you're always carrying a potion, just in case. If you have already died, it's not worth starting again at this point.
  20. So @Dcubed suggested that I make a seperate thread for this, so I have. Every Friday, at 8pm BST, I'm hoping to get together three other people to play one round of Mario Party. I'm thinking that it'd be great if over time we end up playing every N64 board by the end of this. Every game will be 20 turns, which usually takes a bit over an hour, so plan accordingly. You'll need an NSO Expansion Pack subscription to take part in the N64 titles. In the case of less then 4 people joining, the CPU's will be set to Normal, and one of them will be Luigi, because I said so. If more than 4 people want to play, then a queue will be formed, with the person who has played the most games so far being swapped out for the person in waiting. In the case that more than 1 person has played the same amount of games, then the person who placed the lowest in the previous game will be swapped out. So with that, the first week will be on... Mario's Rainbow Castle A relatively simple board, this. Use the junctions well to time your arrival at the center platform so you can buy a star from Toad! But don't make the mistake of getting there when Bowser is present, or else you'll lose... hang on. *checks notes* FORTY COINS!? What the hell!? This is supposed to be the easiest board! Why is it so harsh!? Current Players Glen-i - Yoshi DCubed - Wario BowserBasher - Mario Yes, I'm claiming Yoshi before anyone gets a chance. I'm hosting the damn thing! So there! And it totally matters! Shut up! Fair Warning. Mario Party 1 is notorious for having mini games that involve rotating the control stick as fast as possible. This will ruin your Joycon, and I can't remove them from the pool of games. I highly recommmend using a more durable controller (Such as the N64 controller) if you plan on playing.
  21. N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together

    Seeing as 8 players are the max, 4 would be a good amount. We're at 3 now.
  22. OK, so here we are. Our journey through all the N64 games are at an end. We laughed, we cried, we made boneheaded decisions out of stupid spite. But it's time to figure out how good we all are. Now, S.C.G joined near the end of Mario Party 1, so the scoring's going to be a little weird. Before S.C.G joins, here's how it goes. 1st Place - 3 points 2nd Place - 2 points 3rd Place - 1 Point For the sake of giving S.C.G a fighting chance, he also gets 2 points for each board he didn't play on. CPU Luigi has no bearing on the placings. Once he joins, here's how the scoring goes 1st Place - 4 points 2nd Place - 3 points 3rd Place - 2 points 4th Place - 1 point With that in mind... Mario Party 1 1st Place: @Dcubed and @Glen-i - 23 points 3rd Place: @S.C.G - 16 points 4th Place: @BowserBasher - 14 points Mario Party 2 1st Place: @Glen-i - 21 points 2nd Place: @Dcubed - 19 points 3rd Place: @BowserBasher - 18 points 4th Place: @S.C.G - 12 points For the Duel Boards in MP3, the winner gets 1 point, the loser gets nothing. Mario Party 3 1st Place: @Glen-i - 25 points 2nd Place: @BowserBasher 19 points 3rd Place: @S.C.G - 16 points 4th Place: @Dcubed - 12 points Grand Total 1st Place: @Glen-i - 69 points 2nd Place: @Dcubed - 54 points 3rd Place: @BowserBasher - 51 points 4th Place: @S.C.G - 44 points The Mario Party 1 BowserBasher hate train was too much for him to overcome, even with his solid performance on the other games. So Dcubed clings on to 2nd place. So even though all the boards are done, doesn't mean we have to stop playing Mario Party forever, we can always have a friendly now and again.
  23. We told you it was a good board! The cruel thing here is that @Dcubed lost because he stole a star off of me when it was probably wiser to go for @BowserBasher instead, and then it all went wrong. If he won two more coins in mini-games, he would have secured third place. Ironic that the last Game Guy of this whole affair would make absolutely no difference, considering how devastating it's been everywhere else.
  24. We're on in less then 10 minutes, @S.C.G. and @BowserBasher. I'll open a room momentarily.
  25. Balatro (PS, Xbox, Switch, Steam)

    Man, you don't mess around! I just had my third successful run. I don't like the Yellow Deck, very little benefit for a perk that fizzles out after the second ante. Green should be interesting, basically been living off the interest, gonna have to change tact.
