I can’t believe Mr Resetti is loving dead, and also gay.

If you actually read it the director of Animal Crossing said that Mr. Ressiti isn't going away. He wasn't fired t the director said look for him somewhere else. He is not going away. He is being relocated elsewhere. He is probably getting a new role in a new position where he can still charm the player on occasion. Not sure why people are saying Mr. Ressiti is gone forever when he has been a staple of this game from the start. Stop jumping to conclusions.

This release schedule is loving me up.
Between now and March, I have no reason to put down my Switch. It's incredible.

I mean, the Mana collection is like 100 hours minimum (although I'm blowing through SOM on muscle memory).

It does seem probable though. I couldn't imagine Microsoft going through the motions of negotiating Banjo in Smash without also sliding a port collection under the door, at minimum.

I'm assuming that at least Banjo-Kazooie will be on the inevitable N64 Classic.

It wasn't made to run on a Wii U. That in itself should help for many things I'd imagine.

Blows my mind that they’d say yes to a new Contra and not try to make another 2D one like this. Contra 4 was good.


A lot of other characters have changed jobs like this as well. I like that Animal Crossing has a continuity with its special NPCs.

Lyle is the best character, from lovely insurance salesman to honest worker who came to love his job because of his niece.

Contra is seeing a resurgence in China because of a free-to-play mobile game released there, there's also a live-action movie being made over there. That's probably why.

Also the budget PS2 Contra games fuckin' ruled and look way better than this garbage.

Are you talking about Mechstermination Force? If so, that came out back in April. I never played it but it looked like more of a Contra-like boss rush game. If it was more like Contra with actual horizontal scrolling and vertically scrolling levels, I think I would've bought it.

It's Shadow of the Colossus with giant mechs, it's pretty cool. I still need to go back to it.

BotW has a ton of enemy types, a lot are just really rare for whatever dumb reason. Discounting the elemental variants and tiers of Bokoblins/Moblins theres still like 30+ distinct base enemy typea.

Just get some heart pieces and a decent weapon and the game mostly falls over.

There are like ~15 including over-world "bosses". I'm not complaining, but I don't think there are anywhere near 30.

Yeah looking at the wiki it's 10-15 depending on what you classify as unique (eg I didn't count every skeleton separately).

The issue is that you fight four of them for 95% of the game and the different biomes have very little in terms of unique enemies.

Pretty hard to find it much cheaper. You could spend a month combing for deals and maybe get it for 47 bucks. Not worth doing that.

I think I got mine when it was 53 or something.

Yeah, one poster here said to get the spear and they were right. Almost none of the enemies have an attack range that's more than one square, so the spear just trivializes everything.

Of course, even without the spear you've got arrows, the boomerang, etc. Anything that gives you a little range will work.
