I think 3rd parties should be prioritized, with a few caveats and complicated situations and exceptions, based on how directly associated with Nintendo they are - Banjo is, for all intents and purposes, culturally, a Nintendo character. Same goes for Mega Man & Simon, with their series being...

Only have one idea to toss in: Arle: Return of the Magic Girl

I'm at Satorl Marsh - and I mean, I hope you're right. I don't feel like any of my criticisms are unreasonable even if worded harshly at times, but I never want to dislike a video game. Hopefully it clicks and I have 3 sequels ready to play.

I'm gonna keep playing just because I bought the game. "Easily amused" is such a light jab but y'all are right, I shouldn't have said that. I want to like it but eh. The world itself barring the weak characters is interesting enough in concept that I have slight interest in seeing how the...

Always hoping for trophies but always thought the idea of doing collectible Hanafuda cards with unique 2D art inspired by Nintendo stuff throughout the ages would be super cool. If we stretched the idea of cards (whether Hanafuda or just trading card style cards) to an unrealistic extreme...

I get you - I'm not talking legal stuff, I'm moreso just saying it could be slightly odd - maybe it varies culturally, but where I'm from "Dracula" is borderline used colloquially to just refer to any vampire character - most people who don't even know Bram Stoker would just think of Dracula...

Leave it to Nintendo to find a way to confuse the casual audience and take the wind out of the sails of the Switch 2 reveal with confusing moves. I wish I could say I'd be shocked.

I played 10 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles (DE) and I'm baffled that anyone considers it anything beyond...deeply okay, at best. The combat ranges from braindead in 90% of encounters (literally being able to put the controller down and still win most fights with random mobs) to sudden spikes of...

I think it's going to be somewhere between Regular Sequel and Reboot - I don't think an Ultimate Deluxe or FP3 would generate the same attention (or profit) that an entirely new entry would, or move people to buy Switch 2s in the same numbers. Everyone is Here 2 would be fun but at a certain...

:rolleyes: That wasn't the question though.

Toeing the line way too hard as far as fourth-party concerns go, imo. I know he's technically an original character but...it's Dracula.

This is a tough question - It does feel like the obvious picks for a neutral, crowd-pleasing starting reveal are running thin. I have been wondering the same thing and can't come up with a satisfying answer. Probably largely depends on what overall direction the game is taking. Are we...

Animal cruelty for the Trainer at the very least.

You joke, but unironically - would prefer this over bloat. I know I'm on an island with that one, though.

🫡🫶 Agreed, honestly. Beyond the roster - Assists being more meaningful, stages casting a wider net, a return of trophies, more single-player bosses - there's definitely a ton that can be done across the board. As much as Lark from Pilotwings 64 has been feverishly requested, probably an...
