My partner is gone this weekend and I'm getting pumped about being able to just play Tetris BR if it ever shows up in the shop.

That very reason is what makes me inches close to buying and binging FFIX, which I've never played. Is it best to go in blind or something someone should know before hand or should I get a 100% guide?

And then I'm thinking that if I'm going to put Starlink aside to wait for the new characters then maybe I should just start and beak Okami in the meantime since I actually own it already.

Too many options.

getting a guide seems dumb because it's just going to say to go to playonline.com on every other page

FF9 is a game with a bunch of hidden little fiddly mechanics that let you do things like min-max your stat growth or deal 9999 damage with a level 1 character and absolutely none of them matter because the game is pretty easy the whole way through. In other words, you should probably just go in blind.

I guess the only thing is that equipment is f important in that it teaches your characters skills and stuff so you should stockpile it

But that's pretty obvious when you pi k it up

I'll probably be buying it at that price. But I've decided to be responsible and beat Okami first. So that it's out of the way. Starlink is going to have to wait for the DLC. Thanks for the advice. I'll steal the first chance I get and then just enjoy a classic JRPG.

Pity I got to get up early tomorrow.

Square generally does half-off sales for the FF games two or three times a year on other services, so give it a few months and we might eventually get such a sale for the Switch.

Or buy it now because FF9 is worth every drat penny.

Hopefully yeah. I'm hoping any mario maker 1 level tied to your wii u linked nintendo account would be available to reupload. They'll probably let you import/convert them and then reupload them.

But I'm okay with nintendo making a clean break for Super Mario Maker 2.

When SMM2 rolls out - I actually want to spend a lot of time making and improving on levels with goons. I'd love it if we could do some kind of collaborative 'world' design, especially if there's a course overworld editor this time.

Sakurai and Miyamoto told the Prime Minister of Japan that Nintendo won't participate in any of the 2020 Olympic festivities unless he forced the Dragon Quest composer to let the orchestrated music run free.

Edit: Considering the Gaming Insiders have said that Mario Maker 2 has been cooking for a while and that the development team was trying to find a way to get levels to transfer from the first title to 2 but were having trouble I'd say it's a big maybe. Like this info is over two-years old and may be outdated but at least you'll know that they tried if it turns out you have to start all over again in MM2.

I am so stoked for Link's Awakening although the art style is not really fitting and from the video it looks like it moves slow and clunky. One of the things I loved about the GB version was that Link felt fast and agile unlike most of the other Zelda games.

A couple tips for FF9: Don't sell your old gear, and always steal from bosses, as many bosses give you new gear early. Don't go crazy trying to steal the rare slots though (each foe has up to four items, and the last item can take a long-rear end time since it's like a 1/256 chance of landing without some specific abilities), but that really only applies to the green giant boss you fight after recruiting Eiko anyway.

I think the speed in tile/seconds is the same, but the screen size is increased, which makes it look like link covers less ground. And I couldn't disagree more about the artstyle, I think it looks gorgeous.

How much is it on PSN Store? Maybe it's a console specific reaso-no wait I just checked the PSN Store it's 21 dollars there as well it's just Square-Enix I guess.

Just more about seeing it in action, the dissonance between the animated characters and the 3D backgrounds. It's not as bad as Mighty No. 9, but it's still not great
