Mario Kart 8 Deluxe League 2018 (Final results now in)
RedShell replied to Glen-i's topic in Nintendo Gaming
IN! -
Some of my (probably quite easy) balloon codes: This mode definitely seems like it'll replace the need to farm for coins at least.
-
Yeah, fair play to anyone that enjoys that stuff. But to me it looks like the video game equivalent of watching paint dry. Mind you, I remember enjoying Nintendo Pocket Football Club which is basically Chibi-Football Manager. But I guess the much simpler nature of that game, combined with the cute presentation made all the difference.
-
True. I'd still like to have the option of both though.
-
I've never even "played" it.
-
Great vid on the entire series:
-
I believe so, yeah. But that kind of thing is inevitable anyway (Switch has already been hacked ) so if it's still the whole reason behind not offering any form of save backup option, then they need to come up with a better reason, or just get with the program already.
-
Pretty awful episode last night as the choice of games was just terrible. A point and click game and Football Manager?... Seriously? Sure, they got to take the piss out of the fact they were playing incredibly dull games to spectate, but it didn’t change the fact they were playing incredibly dull games to spectate. The people running this show should really restrict the guest game choices to stuff that’ll make for more entertaining gameplay/viewing.

It doesn’t even have to be cloud saves, just give us the option to manually backup save data via the micro SD card or a USB stick! If they do introduce cloud saves as part of the paid online service, but don’t enable an offline alternative for those that aren’t subscribed, that’s also going to be really shitty. I mean, I obviously lost access to cloud storage on PS4 recently when my PS+ subscription expired, but at least all of my save data on USB is still useable as an alternative.

I'd forgotten about the Pokémon Bank thing. Yeah, they'd have a hard time keeping that and the online subscription fee going at the same time. We could definitely do with some more info on the upcoming online setup at this point, I suppose they really want to reveal the details alongside game announcements though. And while Smash Bros. is still the game we're all expecting as the big title to launch the paid service, I'm starting to think it could actually be Animal Crossing instead. Some of the stuff they're currently doing with the mobile version, not to mention the multiplayer aspect of Tortimer Island in New Leaf, gives the impression that Animal Crossing on Switch will be the most online featured game in the series. When you also take into consideration how popular AC is with female players (56% of the user base on New Leaf and over 75% for Pocket Camp!) it makes sense for Nintendo to use it as a way of selling the online service on Switch.

Crazy! Looking forward to a new Digital Foundry vid if those screens are for real. And I still need to play this at some point too. Damn you Sony for making it a PS+ title on the same month as my subscription expired.

L.A. Noire - PS4 - XONE - Switch - November 14th
RedShell replied to Aneres11's topic in Other Consoles
Started playing this on the weekend, it's yet another game that I never got around to playing back when it first came out (despite really liking the look of it) but it's all good because I'm getting to enjoy it now, and boy am I enjoying it! They absolutely nailed the 40's vibe with this one, so good. And you can always count on Rockstar to deliver the goods when it comes to a licensed soundtrack: Gonna have that stuck in my head for a while. It's a shame about what happened with Team Bondi though, never realised quite how troubled the development of this game was. Guess the chances of something similar to L.A. Noire being produced in the future are pretty much zero, but if there ever was a game made just like it but set in the 70's it would instantly become one of my all-time faves I reckon. -
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp ( Mobile Game. Out Late Nov )
RedShell replied to Hero-of-Time's topic in Nintendo Gaming
@VsPhoenix, thanks for all the cross-pollination you've been doing at my garden! Have been able to play some Brake Tapper every day (since completely running out of friend powder) as a result. Have been trying to return the favour as much as possible, but I never really got into the gardening aspect (other than when the special events were on) so am a little behind. I think they should probably add some extra ways to earn, or increase the amount of friend powder you get for doing stuff like watering people's plants though, it should be 1 for each plant not 1 for the entire garden! -
I see. Watched this yesterday: It's got me even more excited to get the game and start some hammer time. I never really messed with those sliding charge moves in the beta, but they look absolutely awesome!
-
I’d say go for affinity, as LS still has pretty fast attack rate. That or attack power, healing ability would be pointless for you.

Hehehe! Nope, not guilty that time. Will send you the results later on today. -
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe League 2018 (Final results now in)
RedShell replied to Glen-i's topic in Nintendo Gaming
I got it. BTW, doesn’t look like MKTV displays smart steering for other players, as I’ve just been checking some replays and it only shows up on my Wario. Anyway, fun session tonight. Looking forward to doing some highlights. -

That's one way of describing it, yeah. @Dcubed summed it up very well when we did the first "Smart Steering" GP last year, by posting this: -
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp ( Mobile Game. Out Late Nov )
RedShell replied to Hero-of-Time's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Loving the new content in this. Some of the animal outfit combinations are hilarious, and I like how they do a little fashion show after you dress them. I noticed the addition of missing item quests now too, which is a cool nod to the mainline games. And the new Brake Tapper mini-game is pretty addictive, although the amount of caps needed to trade for the furniture items is slightly insane! 15,000? That said, I'm already approaching 4,000 (yep... addictive ) but am also starting to run very low on the currency needed to play it. -
Base.com is currently the cheapest as far as I can tell, they have the variety pack for £53.85.

Amazing! Had no idea the camera in the right Joy-Con could be used for stuff like that.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe League 2018 (Final results now in)
RedShell replied to Glen-i's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Cheers. Mushroom only/no item races make for pretty boring MKTV highlights though, so figured I’d try something to make it slightly more entertaining. Almost cut out the last GP entirely, but in the end settled for running it at “400cc”. -
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe League 2018 (Final results now in)
RedShell replied to Glen-i's topic in Nintendo Gaming
IN! Last week's highlights: -
Nice. de Blob is amazing! (legendary soundtrack as well, that I still listen to regularly) The sequel, however... not so much.
-
Finished this last night. The ending was absolutely bonkers, didn’t see any of that coming. But yeah, very glad I finally got to check out the game, it’s certainly a pretty unique experience. I enjoyed the slight puzzle element of figuring out exactly how to tackle each colossi (a few of them actually took me a while to work out ) and the gameplay was for the most part very good, although at times it did feel like I was also fighting the camera a bit. Looking forward to doing another playthrough at some point, quite tempted to have a go at the hard mode speedrun trophy too.
