One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

The true arena in Kirby might be pretty difficult. The stone ability doesn’t seem to be in Forgotten Land. Can’t cheese the arena by being a invincible stone all the time.

The bonus challenges for Captain Toad is where it gets tricky, and if you're a real glutton for punishment they have the time trials too which require a perfect run to meet.

It's not, there are only 12 abilities and Stone wasn't in the roster. Likely because Cone Mouth effectively operates the same way.

Again a very likpatous story
I got back into the second Voice of Cards game and the story is way more interesting than in the first game. Some of the plot points were pretty predictable (the maidens have to sacrifice themselves to protect the islands) but some of them I'm still not completely sure what's going on (the people of Omega Village seem to want the island be destroyed, but even with that being the case, Greith flying into a rage at seeing Laty is still something I'm not sure of the reason for, even if there's some reason to want the island destroyed that wouldn't explain why he seems to hate her).

It's also much more difficult than the first game. It's not hard or anything, but the first game was so ridiculously easy that even bosses took no real effort or thought to beat. This game, I'm having to make good use of items and buffs/heals, and even came close to a party wipe on an optional boss, something that never happened in the first game (outside of the post-game bonus boss).

I sank, I’m not even close to joking, thousands of hours into Mario golf 64 in college.

My roommates were big golf nerds and weren’t into video games and I was a big video game nerd and not into golf so it was the perfect intersection of our Venn diagrams

It's getting good. Like I could get this now, just to futz around in these games. Still, I have a lot on my plate, and I can wait. They'll get me with Smash 64. That'll be the one. I wanna play Break the Targets and Board the Platforms.

It's like 2mm wider so stuff that's extremely tight like a grip might not be compatible but the docks have enough leeway that they're interchangeable.

Hopefully you speak Japanese, because Yggdra Union already got a Switch port, but it didn't get an English release, so I'm honestly not optimistic about any of the other Sting games.

Yep, the dimensions are very similar. I kept using my OG Switch carrying case with my OLED without missing a beat.

I am supremely bummed out about Re-Boot Camp, was really looking forward to that.

Yggdra Union has a confusing plot, because it jumps backwards and forwards in time a bunch without ever stopping to explain what's going on, but I don't think there were any issues with the english translation.

Knights in the nightmare has really weird game mechanics and a really tenuous plot in the first place. Ygdra and riviera were more straightforward and didn't strive for like proto dark souls plot obscurity

It absolutely does, it's hilarious. Its like a GTA game but with a bunch of movie references, puns, over the heads of kids jokes. My favourite Lego game next to Lego LOTR.
