You're right, Naoto is pretending to be a boy to be taken seriously by sexists, not because she believes she is a boy

That said the game does send rly mixed messages about this with the boss at the end of her shadow dungeon with its surgical motiff and "the body alteration procedure", there's maybe supposed to be some kind of character conflict along those lines at least

I believe 2 is the one where you can become a porn star complete with reputation perk and the only thing that actually happens from it is that drug dealers charge you more for chems.

I can confirm Yoshi's Woolly World is very good and very cute, the aesthetic took a while to grow on me but it gets more charming and creative as the game goes on. Definitely the first Yoshi game to really match up to Yoshi's Island

I'm not watching this video, but the Metroid thing admittedly kind of sucks. Still lots of great Nintendo games coming out, though.

While I understand that it sucks that we aren't getting a new real Metroid game, it's been a decade since the last great one, so at this point I have no belief at all that a Metroid game would actually come out anyway. They can brand this stuff however they want but it doesn't really change anything.

prime was very good, though a lot of it did not age perfectly because motion controls, having played it for the first time this year.

Prime doesn't have motion controls, or are you saying the motion controls are a better control scheme?

prime triology collection, the only one playable on the wii u, has motion controls

it's completely serviceable, and the game is good. my complaints are narrowly aimed at the wii hardware, i do not like motion controls. it did not stop me from beating the game.

I actually really like the motion controls for the Trilogy. The only reason GC version gets an edge is because it still has the sequence breaking bugs and tricks intact that require the original control scheme to utilize.

yeah, motion controls are the most 'matter of preference' thing to have ever been conceived. i don't begrudge people who like them, and prime is able to be a great game in spite of having to use motion controls imho

yeah, I think there were so many exciting announcements this E3 that I let myself believe there was going to be a Metroid one. I'll take Star Fox, how fleshed out Mario Maker got, and the three player Zelda, though.

i heard on some podcast that starfox isn't actually developed by platinum but that they just did asset work for the overburdened nintendo studio. Anyone know if that's true? I was hype for a slippy kung fu sequence on the wing of great fox.

Three player zelda was the best thing from Nintendo's presentation this year. Pretty pumped.

There's hoookers everywhere which you can hire for yourself or anyone your party (causing your party to hoot and holler), you can gently caress a mob boss's wife AND clearly underage daughter (she gets pregnant in the ending if you do), female player characters can whore themselves out all over the place(I'm talking sex for money, not being flirty for speech challenges), there's a condom item you can use, and there's tons of characters you can have sex with Just Because.

It's a little much.

Fallout 2 was good. I'd put it on an even keel with 1, though it's been forever since I played them.

Besides the parts that feel like they were written by a horny teenager, the game's just fine. Could use a decrease in pop culture references, tho.

Idfk what this means still. It's confirmed that there are going to be Metroids in it.

I'll admit that the character designs in FF look incredibly, disappointingly bland to me but I don't mind the basic idea of a Metroid game without Samus. It'd be cool to see the Metroidverse from another perspective, if competently executed.

According to Wikipedia, Croshaw is reputable for his social anxiety and discomfort with unfamiliar fedoras. I'm guessing this led to trouble looking for artistic partners.
