I am. I doubt there'll be an award for completing the single player GP's for these anyway.

@Serebii suspects that GWS was ready for the update three weeks ago, but they held off to make sure the cloning glitches were properly fixed and the implemented block that prevents people from trading cloned Pokémon worked. Considering how incredibly widespread that was when the game came out, I can believe that. If he's right, this probably means that Home support should be coming soon.

The only time a Pokémon remake would look almost exactly the same as the original. HD photographs, baby!

Actually, that beginner equipment has been out for a while already. I don't see it being good enough to get you to HR7. It's more for getting you to high rank.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The save file gets you the Azure Flute and the event plays out as you expect.

Not too surprising, seeing as Oak's Letter was there in the game. No, it says complete the main missions. Not finished it myself, so I'm not certain what that consists of. But it doesn't sound like needing to complete the Pokédex.

Update for this drops tomorrow. Darkrai's event item, the Member's Card, will be distributed by Mystery Gift from April 1st. Arceus, however, is not gotten in the same way as the DS games. You'll need a save file of Legends: Arceus that has completed the main story.

You see, any other time, and Bad Box Art Mega Man would've been seen as the silly joke that it was meant to be. Poor timing all round.

If you want, I can give you a mention on Friday.

Or Charles Martinet. It's gonna be so weird now that Mario has had an established voice for over 25 years. See, as much as I don't care for the casting choice for the Mario movie, there's no denying that it will be far more tonally accurate then the live action one. Whether it's any good is a different matter, but I don't see it flopping as hard. I mean, it's safe to say that at least Bowser will, you know, look like Bowser.

Hasn't Bob Hopkins come out and said that he regrets acting in that movie? Says it all, really.

It didn't start off well, but then that happened and I immediately starting folding into myself out of pure cringe. That's real bad! This is one of two reasons why I can't deal with Persona, despite being an RPG fan. Because of that, you kinda develop a tolerance for this kind of stuff and roll with it. But somewhere, there is a line, and Persona constantly crosses it by contradicting the messages it tries to put forward for cheap fanservice. And it's really blatant. And I just know it would impact my enjoyment. A good comparison is the Persona and Fire Emblem spin off, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, which is not without it's problems, but is so much more restrained, especially the western version. My theory is that Nintendo may have been reining in the fanservice that the Persona influence might have had. Remember, the western version edits some costumes to be less revealing and flat out replaces the typical swimsuit outfits with something far more tasteful and better looking really. Boy, a lot of guys really outed their misogynistic views when they started complaining about that! Meanwhile, I immediately chose that outfit for Tsubasa and Ellie and never looked back! So yeah, I think Atlus really needs a third party to give them a heads up whenever things get a bit too much.

You're thinking of Fight Night Round 2, which did happen. That doesn't look quite so bad, as EA attempted to make Little Mac fit the visual style and it makes sense for him to show up in a boxing game. But NBA Street V3 just clashes horribly with Mario-style characters. They look so ridiculously out of place. Like, if you thought New Donk City in Odyssey was a weird clash, then NBA Street V3 takes the cake! It was definitely a desperation move on Nintendo's part thanks to the GC's poor reception. EA definitely got the better end of that deal, mind. No-one bought a GameCube to play those versions, let's face it. You joke about Smash, but Snake became the landmark moment that showed that third parties were on the table. It helps that Smash was already a massive crossover game in the first place, but Smash Brawl is a good contender for MGS's highest highs. I mean, they used him for the reveal of "Everyone is Here" that Ultimate had. So he did it twice! @Cube, that's a good shout on Mass Effect there. Even I, a person who is completely disinterested in the franchise, knew about that scene. It was everywhere, and doomed Andromeda almost immediately.

I read that description before watching the video, and thought "That can't be official" But yep, there's a Ninty trademark in the bottom right! That's definitely a new one for me!

This thread was inspired by a conversation I had with @Dcubed that went real bad, real fast. I'm still not entirely sure how it happened, but... We started talking about the "low points" of different series in the gaming business. The moments when it was pretty universal that "this is not a good look". For clarification's sake, I'm not talking about games you personally didn't enjoy. So, using myself as an example, I can't go out claiming Breath of the Wild is Zelda's low point, because that's just dumb. It's a crazy success! Here's an actual example that might come to mind for most people. Yeah... That's what I mean. When it was released, this movie was a commercial flop that barely resembled the source material, and at that time, I'd say it was Mario's lowest point, and it stayed that way for quite some time. It damn well discouraged Nintendo from trying another movie for decades, that's for sure! But I think there's been at least one lower point for the series, and here it is. If there was ever a screenshot that proved how desperate Nintendo got during the GameCube era? This was it. This is from NBA Street V3. Now, don't get me wrong. This isn't me dunking on the game, I heard it was perfectly OK. And it certainly isn't a low point for EA. But it's pretty obvious what happened here. EA weren't interested in releasing this on the GameCube because it was getting destroyed by the competition. So Ninty pulled out a power bargaining chip and offered the use of Mario, Luigi, and Peach here. So, you should have an idea of what I'm looking for now, but here are a couple of other great candidates. That's Bomberman: Act Zero. Yes, that Bomberman. No, I have no idea what drugs they were smoking when they thought a gritty reboot of all things was a good idea! And finally, one I had actually blocked from my brain until Dcubed bought it up. Because when he said "Young Conker" I thought he was referring to that Game Boy Colour game. Oh dear god! It all came flooding back once he clarified what he meant! I mean, I don't know what to say apart from, yes, that's meant to be Conker from Bad Fur Day. No, I have no clue what they were thinking. Young Conker was a platform game made for the Microsoft Hololens. The reception it got was swift and brutal. Even Banjo's Nuts N' Bolts redesign (Another great low point) would look at that and give it a big "oof!" Unlike Banjo, Conker hasn't quite recovered from this yet, time will tell, but it's not looking great. That said, while looking for some images, I came across this drawing. Yep, that's my head canon now. So that's enough from me, any examples that come to mind from you lot? Come on, really make me regret making this thread.

Yeah, I double checked, and it did have every stage available. Just got really unlucky, I guess.

Ah, I'm glad you mentioned that. I was gonna ask if you would be a secondary host, in case there are more then 12 people or I can't make it. I'll add your Friend Code to the first post.

Stamina matches tonight at 8pm.

Now, depending on how many people are interested, we may have to seperate everyone into 2 groups if there are more then 12 people taking part. So let me know if you're IN! or not by declaring yourself IN! Glen-i (Host) S.C.G Dcubed lostmario BowserBasher Dufniall Kounan RedShell Ike Tentative viceview51, Mokong The Booster Pass drops on Friday 18th March, so despite Thursday being the agreed upon day, the first night will be on that date, and will be a Theme Night that cycles through the 8 new tracks and then 4 other tracks voted on by everyone. I'll upload a graphic as soon as I'm able to.

Thanks to @Dcubed for this logo, and @RedShell for the original design! It's the N-Europe Mario Kart League Get Together! With the upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass dropping in less then a week, I'm sure those of us getting it would love an excuse to put it to use, and what better excuse then to play online with other N-Europe members? The idea is that once a week, we'll get together to have some good old fashioned races, and some battles now and again. Unlike the previous League, scores will not be kept track of, so you're free to take part without worrying about your performance. For obvious reasons, you will need a Nintendo Switch Online account to take part. However, you do not need the expansion pack. You also do not need the MK8DX Booster Pass to take part, as only one person in the room needs it (I have it). As of today, it's not certain whether people without the pass can vote for any of the new tracks it has. I will update the thread once we get that information. You also need to add me and BowserBasher as a friend on your Switch, if you haven't already. Friend Codes are as follows: Glen-i - 3034-9087-7910 Simon (BowserBasher) - 8313-9234-5620 A few general rules to keep in mind: Unless stated otherwise, each session will take place on Thursday at 8pm, GMT. Each session will consist of 12 seperate races/battles. This normally takes around 45-60 minutes, so take that into account. Players Choice Nights will allow everyone to vote for whatever track they want to race on. The format will be 150cc, Normal Items. For the sake of variety, avoid voting for a track that the group has already raced on that night. No-one wants to do Baby Park 12 times. Every 3-4 weeks, I will impose a "Theme Night", where everyone must stick to the tracks that have been pre-selected. The cc format and item pool may be changed as well. I will post a graphic showing this information before hand. Discord group for voice chatting purposes.

Game's not as tricky as I remember it being.

See, I'm wondering how much of that is actually true, or how much of that is confirmation bias. It's hard to tell unless you get a digital foundary style comparison.

Yeah, this is normal for F-Zero X.

Not tried it yet, but the general feel of it is that the N64 games run fine now. The C-Buttons are only used in F-Zero X to move the camera, so it'll play fine on a Pro Controller.

In other news, I have shooting stars tonight.
