No clue why they didn't add more DLC though, but then again it took them forever to add DLC to Mario Kart 8 DX so...

MK8DX is an unusual situation because it was already a "base game + DLC" release of MK8, so creating *even more* DLC nearly a decade after its very original release seems unprecedent. Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess Nintendo has always been a little weird with DLC and has experimented with a bunch of different models and ideas. They're not easy to predict

I really wish the Mario Kart "model" was used for mainline Mario game, though. A new Mario kingdom / world / whatever every few months... a true gamer's dream

They also probably looked around and wondered how to improve on the gameplay or advance it. And you can't. Because it's a perfect game. All you can do is release more tracks forever.

I'm going to have to "well, ackshually" this one. The opening of Peach's story of Mario Superstar Baseball has Lakitu appraising Peach's team, and saying something like "woah, is that your grandfather?!" when he gets to Toadsworth before recognizing that it is Toadsworth. Toadsworth has been Peach's nanny for a long time, as seen in Partners in Time, and progressed to being her butler when she got older (Sunshine), before dying after Mario Super Sluggers.

Yeah that was what I was thinking of. I remembered him saying "And... your father?!" if he said other stuff after that that indicated Toadsworth is not her father, I don't remember. :shrug: It's been years and years since I've touched that game.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
They can improve the gameplay by finally realizing that the Lightning Bolt item sucks rear end and should be removed from the game.

Metro 2033 Redux for under $4 is a really great deal. Haven't played one of these games before....but it looks great on the Switch. So far, so good.

Bowser's Fury was totally gonna be Odyssey DLC. The area it takes place in is even referred to as a Kingdom. Considering it's visual themes of being in the ocean polluted by paint-like black sludge, it could even have originally been related to Isle Delfino. My theory would be they changed plans and moved it to 3D world when they wanted to have their Wii U games get a second chance on the Switch.

It looked interesting, but I figured it wasn't going to have enough depth for me to want to mess with it like that one thing for playstation.

A joycon has developed drift. I take the joycon to an electronics repair store at the mall, they bring it to the backroom and the guy holding the repair kit takes one look at the joycon and shouts "I CAN'T OPERATE ON THIS JOYCON. HE'S MY SON!"

How is this possible?

Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
The music and voice acting in octopath 2 really are top tier and imo on a higher plane than the pixel art itself. Don't get me wrong the art style owns but they really nailed the delivery on the audio stuff and I'm engrossed in pretty much all the storylines (except for the dancer but at least she has some solid skills)

Only time the pixel art sort of matches the glory of the music and voice acting is when you're facing off against a boss with a ridiculously detailed sprite. Then again who doesn't love oversized boss sprites in their retro RPGs?

Get octopath 2 if you're looking for an SNES style classic square RPG with a ton of modern additions

I still haven't figured out the secondary job stuff and I don't want all my dudes looking like inventors so I'm gonna wait to unlock more of that before I play with it

I assume Octopath 2 does the thing where the first person you select is the one that you're forced to keep in your party for the rest of the game? If so, who's the best choice?

I picked the merchant in the first game, and while she was a fun character, after a few hours I realized I never really wanted her in my party and would've rather had a mainstay like the magic guy or thief for their abilities.

They're only locked to your party until you fully complete their story, then you're free to rotate them out

There's like six hundred conflicting articles and youtube videos telling you why XYZ is the best starting character, but Throne is by far the best to have around because like 85% of sidequests are steal this item from an NPC, and then there's a whole lot of "immovable NPC stands in front of door with good loot behind it"

Good thing her two actions are steal and knock out door bouncers???

You get a shitload of free gear, money and stat-boosting nuts from stealing too, so it's just shooting yourself in the foot by not starting from word one with the steal action that just scales off your level
