It's weird how the WiiU and 3DS versions stripped out what were basically the main gimmicks and somehow made it way uglier. Feels like it would've been easier to make the WiiU version effectively the same and cludge some stick/gyro controls to have it play "by default" while heavily recommending using the remote.

I found it odd that it took until 3 years after the Wii was shelved before a third party game was released that truly harassed the power and synergy of the Wii remote motion controls and gryo into traditional gameplay, but better late than never.

People will call this sacrilege, but XCX is the game BotW wished it was.

Whole lotta bad opinions ITT.

XCX is the worst of the XC games though it's still like arguing which SNES Final Fantasy is the worst of the three (it's FF4. The 3D remake in particular) because all 3 of them are good. XCX just suffers from a lack of gameplay refinement and the existence of Tatsu. The healing system in XCX is awful and if they actually do remake the game for Switch they need to just have regular healing options instead of loving around with soul voice stuff and praying the game lets you heal when you need it.

I think we can all agree that Pandora's Tower, The Last Story and XBC could all use switch ports. Operation Rainfall II.

I need to go back and finish both of the non-XC rainfall games.

The Last Story was great. The central town felt like a living, breathing city in a way most JRPGs don't pull off well.

So it's going to be 19 days until Xenoblade 2: Torna comes out.

Should I play through Breath of the Wild and try to beat it before then (playing an average of 3 hours a day), or should I play Super Maro Odyessy and then beat what's ever on my backlog?


The last genuinely good Wii game came out in 2015.



Has it already been three years? I got it when it released and it doesn't feel like it's been that long.

What's so bad about tatsu? He doesn't really do anything objectionable at all, it's the other characters who are like "Hey tatsu you're a carrot I'm gonna kill and eat you!" 24/7 and he's just all "oh nooooooo"

For Captain Toad, is there anything you get for: the Pixel Toads, bonus objectives, or record times?

I like the game well enough but not enough to be a completionist about it. If those unlock extra levels or something though

I didn't hate Tatsu with the burning of a thousand suns like some people did, but his schtick of being arrogant despite being useless was pretty annoying. Like most mascot characters, you could have just removed him from the game and have next to nothing change

Bonus objectives and diamonds are the only things that unlock stuff. Everything else is just for fun and to make your book shiny.

There are several different tiers of quality from main chars to important sub story chars to less important ones to just uninteractable bystandards in most games, mr explainypants

Yes there are, and what you supposedly get shown there would fall under the category of important sub-story characters, so, again, they'd all potentially look that terrible. Not to mention that it isn't unknown for voice actors to take the roles of several sidequest characters apiece in open-world games so it looks bad across the board.

IS made Days of Ruins for Western audiences because Advance Wars: Dual Strike did disproportionately well overseas. Days of Ruin had a gritty war aesthetic and focused on addressing balance issues. It's likely that Dual Strike benefited from Nintendo's big Summer 2005 push (Nintendogs, new DS colors, etc) but ultimately failed to create a lasting audience.

I know people are mentioning it but I found out for the first time recently that none of the Advance Wars games came out in Japan at all until much later. Like, AW1, AW2, Days of Ruin. That's pretty insane.

Then they took this game that was popular in the west despite it's Japanese look and feel, and then changed that do be a Western look and feel, and then it stopped doing well.

Anyway I'm sure they're happy enough with the performance of Fire Emblem to never make another of those again but it's a shame. Wargroove looks great though!

Advance Wars 1 didn't come out in Japan because right around the same time Game Boy Wars 3(developed by Hudson as basically a replacement for the cancelled "64 wars") was releasing and they didn't want to cannibalize their own sales. Advance Wars 2 was a direct sequel so it didn't come out either. Only later they got released as a double pack.
