I've never done the target b2g1 deal but strongly considering it now since it also lets you include preorders like DBFZ and MonHun World.

That is why Kirby is the best series.

You will never see a person go into a destructive rage over a Kirby game.

Unless they choke during the last part of the last boss during an Arena run.

Ironically the most adjacent game series to kirby is known for the massive pissbabies

Yoshi?

Because Yoshi is 1-part trying to recapture a 22 year old game's magic and 1-part ideas too boring for Kirby a pink blank slate.

we had various opportunities to go see oakland play home games in college but we never did because if you go to a game where the raiders are playing, their fans are only there to fight. the other team's fans, other raiders fans, brah just throw down

pretty sure if she's the kind of person who can put her foot down about his babby tantrums and tell him to clean up his mess before he's allowed to play more games, she's also the kind of person who isn't afraid to actually just bail

I really wish Nintendo would bring Virtual Console to Switch and actually do it properly this time. I want to see all of the big titles from NES, SNES, and N64 on the system. I know this is a dream that is never ever going to come true, but it would be awesome to see.

This doesn’t seem to happen with Mario games too often, if anything they get more praise retroactively like Sunshine did. At worst, everyone forgets it exists like NSMB.

I think the only issue I have with Odyssey is that the music isn't as stellar overall as past entries, but it has individual tracks that really stand out so I can just listen to them if I want. Not every game can have SMG caliber musical accompaniment

I have a bunch of tiny issues with SMO but most of them are just nitpicks that are only noticable because everything else is so perfect. Like the controls are so smooth and I have to think about what I'm doing so little that anytime that hitches at all, it's glaring. The biggest complaint I really have is that some of the rarely used moves aren't that intuitive or are on motion controls and while that's not a big deal because you rarely, if ever, need them, it's still not a good thing.

Overall I think I still prefer Galaxy because I just like it's style of levels more but it's a pretty close call. Probably at least my second favorite in the series from what I've played thus far. In a strong year this is easily GotY

Same. I have some tiny issues but it's just so loving fun that I don't care.

Right now I'm a bit annoyed that the game doesn't have any way to point me to the 1-3 purple coins I'm missing in a level unless I buy a bowser amiibo.
