@Hero of Time interested to hear your thoughts on Snake Pass. I picked it up at launch and enjoyed it. Has a very N64 Rare vibe to it and gets pretty challenging in the late game.
-
I felt exactly the same as you after the first few worlds. After seeing the credits and doing a fair amount of the post-game content, it definitely picks up! Some of the later moons are tricky to get and you begin to appreciate the variety on offer in world design and how tightly put together they all are. I'm still on the fence as to whether I agree with the universal 10/10 praise, but I can see more clearly now why many called it that way.

Third party AAA games on Switch - A lost cause?
Nicktendo replied to Hogge's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Rockstar just lost a sale. No dice. If they can't stump up for a bigger cart, I'm not gonna stump up for an old game at an inflated price. Bethesda get all my money. -
I'm gonna day one this for sure! Got it on Steam around Xmas, put in a decent amount of hours but once it was rumoured for the Switch I stopped playing. Such an incredible game, and N-E nights should really be great fun.

Rocket League dropping Nov 14th! $19.99 or region equivlent. That's what £15? Novemeber be stacked, baby. Double dipping on this.

We've always more or less retained the same core of members though, sure people come and go but the community still has its key members I'm sure GAF will stick around, will be interesting to see what becomes of it. But ResetEra is where its at now. Saw a couple of posts by the GameXplain crew, hopefully more of tge industry types have migrated with them and the better aspects of GAF will be retained over there in the long run.

Yep, I plan on raising my kids from the NES onwards. None of this iPad crap. It's a process. A process from which true appreciation grows

I don't think I've ever put this much time into gaming since I had an N64 and zero responsibility. I feel bad sometimes looking at how many hours I've sunk into my Switch, but then I realise it's ok, because a golden age is well and truly upon us and I'll look back fondly when Nintendo inevitibly balls-up their next console
-
That's the one! I'm loving this new direction Nintendo have been taking on this and with Splatoon. Long live lyrics in Nintendo music!
-
Just seen the credits roll... I also had some left Joy-Con issues with this. First time for me. I much preferred to play with the pro controller, and was actually able to pull of moves easier with it!
-
Yeah, that's why I didn't pick it up at launch. I only did so because I had an Amazon voucher. It's a shame, but they must've expected it putting them so close together. I just don't know if there's much point, from a financial standpoint, in continuing to support a game with a low player base. Unless of course the content is already largely ready to go.

Regarding ARMS, I think the Q2 sales are pretty disappointing. Seems it didn't have the... LEGS (sorry) one might have hoped. I remember the board being really into it on release, then it dropped off completely. I picked it up at the same time as Splatoon 2, and obviously largely ignored it. After getting burned out by Splatoon 2, I took it for a spin and it is a fantastic game. Easily one of the most unique and rewarding fighters I've played in a long time. I'm getting to grips with it now and trying out different characters (Twintelle is my main). I'm still surprised by the depth and how each fighter is drastically different from the rest. Yes, it's lacking in content a bit (still), even if the online is up there with Nintendo's best efforts. Here's what I'd do with the game: keep releasing content (maybe at a quicker pace), keep updating the roster, add a couple of new modes / stages / options, integrate the online app for stats and voice chat and that will keep the early adopters happy and the community playing. Then, on update 6 / 7, whatever we're on during a quiet patch next year, re-release the game with new packaging and a $10/£10 price drop, with the latest version on the cartridge. A little marketing campaign could push it further, and they could highlight the fact the game is packed with content, which was one of the main criticisms on launch. The game deserves to be played by more people and I am APPALLED that 1-2 Switch managed to out-sell it.

1-2 Switch doing 1.37 millions units must have made them an absolute killing when you consider it probably cost about a fiver to produce.

Put me down for WARM. Nothing beats a good fry up on a Sunday morning. I should be good to play Saturday evening and all day Sunday.
-
Judging by the speed things are moving and updating on ResetEra, I think it's safe to say GAF is probably dead.
-
Working again tonight.. Will be back next week!

The N-Europe top 10 Nintendo games of all time.
Nicktendo replied to Nicktendo's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Yeah, that one also puzzled me -
Yes, that level is the best from Splatoon on Wii U. Time to get back into this I think!

The N-Europe top 10 Nintendo games of all time.
Nicktendo replied to Nicktendo's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Higher and higher we go! Two games have 11 points and share joint 34th place, and both are classics that would go on to redefine their respective genres and spin series that are loved and respected by many, many gamers all over the world! -
Snake Pass is well worth it at that price.

The N-Europe top 10 Nintendo games of all time.
Nicktendo replied to Nicktendo's topic in Nintendo Gaming
More games? More games. Let's talk about games. About the TOP games. As voted for by our now ever more so appreciated community of gamers. I'm going to put my serious hat on now, because we are talking about some top games which amassed 10 points and are tied in 36th place. 10 points is a special number, because two of our members voted these games as their favourite, all time best Nintendo games of all time, ever. High praise. Unfortunately, they were alone in this high praise, but if someone on N-E says it's the best, it's a damn good game! Let's check them out.... -
I've already seen some people in my friends list playing this. Looks like the game is definitely out there already... I'm probably not going to get it until early November as games never seem to arrive in Russia on release day, it's usually 3-5 days after release that stores get them. I was considering getting it on Amazon digitally but you can't not get a new Mario game physically! I'll bear out the wait. I see some spoilers have already been doing the rounds... But it's a Mario game, can we really call them spoilers?? Either way I'd ask you guys to be considerate with talking about later in-game content even after Friday. The eye icon is you friend

I'll be genuinely sad if this is the end for GAF. Even though I never post there, I often lurk and find the majority of the discussion genuinely interesting. Outside of gaming, the posts especially during Brexit and the General Election were awesome, informative and genuinely amusing at times. Despite that though, there is a massive problem with toxicity, there are some truly awful posters, just the worst kind of people. Especially when it comes to discussion around journalism and the gaming media or personalities. The amount of people white knighting and shutting down any kind of discussion is awful. It's like twitter on drugs. If it is the end, I'll definitely miss the gifs and the memes. Espcially the "lock if..." OPs and the "first reply nailed it" ones. Plus, it really is one of the best places to find in depth and fast moving discussion. Reddit doesn't quite cut it for me in that regard.

Apologies for the lack of updates over the past few days, Nintendo fans. Been a bit busy with work. Time to continue the top 100 Nintendo games of all time! Next up we have the games tied in 42nd place with 9 points. Yes! Diddy Kong Racing IS officially confirmed better than Mario Kart 64.Well done, N-E. -
