It's a short little comedy game. Not much more than that, but you'll get your moneys worth if it interests you.

I haven't experienced it myself but I remember reading at the time that the problems can occur. This thread says drift issues should be fixed at no charge. My only concern would be if Nintendo forces people to do a wipe on their Lites, which would obviously be an issue if they have save data not backed up elsewhere like Pokemon and Animal Crossing.

If you are in Australia, nobody's getting joycons fixed because the Nintendo service centre is at ground zero for Melbourne's lockdowns :smith:

It looks like a hoot, esp with multiplayer, though it's not terribly long. Have been holding off on it (because I didn't have a Switch before, and didn't want an Epic games account) but plan on buying it soon. Didn't realise there was a physical version, might pick that up if it's not too much.

edit: lmao it costs twice as much as digital, NEVERMIND.

edit 2: if there was ever a game that would get even better with a Battle Royale mode...

That's true. The number wouldn't go up or down because no one cares enough about Fire Emblem for it to be a system seller. Which was the point of my post. The people who love Fire Emblem are going to get Nintendo systems anyway. And no one else knows what it is other than the weird horny game that has too many Smash characters.

Game is horny because you can get your anime soldiers to marry each other and have g-rated conversations is like the funniest imaginable take.

There are Disney movies that are hornier than Fire Emblem.

It's also a good spectator sport if you eat dinner with roommates.

Probably only for the one or two evenings it takes to complete it, but that's often worth a couple o' bucks. Especially if you mentally compare it to movie prices.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Imagine if you had Final Fantasy Tactics with Dark Souls gently caress each other and they gave birth to a bunch of blue-haired sword users that want to gently caress each other.

From what I understand, Fates is the only real horny game from the series, otherwise the character pairings (and it's not all romance since many characters can support for friendships or rivalries or other poo poo) are a minor part of the game at best other than the couple of games where you can play as your characters' kids, in which case who you pair up can determine the kids' stats and stuff. Three Houses is certainly not that bad, at any rate, and the pre-Awakenings games moreso.

Its just FFT or XCOM with preset characters and if you keep them next to each other you unlock fun dialogue between stages which sometimes leads to them getting married.

Tanooki Statue can kill a ton of poo poo. Try it on those rotating circles in the fortresses!

The very few things Tanooki Statue can't kill, Hammer Bros Suit probably can!

e: Mario Wiki has a good summary.

quote:

As a statue, Tanooki Mario cannot be hurt, and if he uses this ability in the air, he can slam down like a Thwomp. This can destroy many enemies, instantly destroying all Goombas and enemies with throwable shells (like Koopa Troopas, Buzzy Beetles, and Spinies). It can also stomp previously unstompable enemies like Piranha Plants, Piranhacus Giganticuses, Venus Fire Traps, Spiny Eggs, Thwomps, Podoboos, Firesnakes, and Chain Chomps.

The Statue form is also the only way to destroy Roto-discs and Rocket Engine flames. Statue Mario will sink rapidly underwater, and can even oppose some pipes' upward currents. This allows Mario to stomp Lava Lotuses, Bloobers and fish enemies underwater.
Boss Bass is the only fish that Mario cannot stomp on, and the only enemy that can defeat him in that form by eating him. In Super Mario All-Stars, the tornado can turn Statue Mario back into Tanooki Mario on contact. He can still turn into the statue while in the tornado, but it will not free him or have any desirable effect. Statue Mario will also automatically revert to Tanooki form in five seconds.

In the NES version's ending, a Koopa Troopa can be seen comically praying before Statue Mario as if he was a religious idol.

I thought the style and concept was really cool, but the gameplay wasn't that fun. It's some basic line-of-sight stealth and loving with random villagers. If you get a lot of enjoyment out of stealing the gardener's hat and throwing it in the water, go for it, but I never really enjoyed myself. But I acknowledge I'm in the minority.

In retrospect, the game is exactly what it promised, I just didn't love the experience.

I disagree. It's a raccoon suit with an immobile 5-second-max invincibility ability, and... that's it.

I guess it'd be completely fair if you couldn't fly, maybe?

Looks, man, the banana trade is serious business. Look at FFL2's Edo world, where people murder in the name of the banana trade. Just like in real life. :v:


Also the bananas in FFL2 are opium through the lens of dumb 90s censorship.

Awakening or Fates had some weird minigame where you could pet(???) your party members.

Three Houses has... tea time where you make small talk and can move the camera around? Romancing your student(s) is awful as well but I think Byleth is supposed to be around the same age as the students and him being a teacher is just a result of "oh you're the kid of a highly respected badass so you can probably teach these pampered shits how to be an actual soldier."

My roomie played it for eight hours straight the other day. There's palpable tension in the air now when I grab the switch before I go to bed so I can play Disgaea until I'm tired, because she's always up earlier than me and wants to play BOTW after waking up.

Besides Awakening and Fates being incredibly in your face, and while its otherwise an improvement to how Fates was in this regard, 3 Houses still has the whole 'dating your (ex)students who are hot for you because they're so impressed with your capacity to kill people' thing going on. Horny is a subtext, even it gets past the ratings board.

I'm currently on a play through of SoV and I can't stress how much of a breath of fresh air it is.

And also made the cool characters complete garbage while idiots like Peter easily solo the game.
