Glow is kind of a useless effect because you're usually more interested in lighting up the area in front of you, not immediately around you

It's taking forever because the movie did so well. Mario keeps demanding to renegotiate his whole contract now that he "famous" and all.

I'm pretty sure that whenever the next Direct is, probably 2-3 weeks after Pikmin 4 releases, they'll announce the next Mario Kart 8 wave and it'll drop within a week from there.

I also hate the depths, running around in the dark is not my idea of fun and I go through seeds like a motherfucker.

Even dropping into them sucks sometimes because the walls of the chasm are lined with angry glowy poo poo and sometimes that’s also under you and so you’re completely disoriented with no idea how high up you might be and which direction you need to glide in to avoid landing in the angry glowy poo poo.

My only regret in ToTK is I didn't really understand how big the Zoanite grind for batteries was when the item dupe was alive. I absolutely would have cheesed full batteries rather than taking a break every few hours to grind one out while I can stand it. Like everything, I'm sure I'll be done with the game before I max out anything, though I'm positive the game is 100% beatable on just the first one they give you (and probably beatable without ever actually realizing there even IS an underworld).

yeah i got the zoanite armor and have a shitload of charges so i've been chowing down on those on the occasions where i want to go on a long ride, it'd still be more efficient though

There is a great Zonaite grinding spot west of the Gerudo Mine, through a big the hole in the walls where the hoversled dock is pointed. There's a small Moblin camp, and along the low ridge by the wall north of opening on the camp side

You get enough zonaite from the mines to get your base 8 full batteries then if you hit the camps and boss relights you can easily overcharge most of them without having to grind anything.

There’s A LOT of mines down there and at least 3-4 relights per boss. the bosses alone give you 100 energy each.

Using zoanite for charges is kind of early/mid game. Once you're able to take on things like taloses and lynels in the underdark you really don't need to trade in zoanite for charge power.

Hell, you can get a poo poo ton of charges by re-fighting the temple bosses in the underdark. The first kill of each one gives you 100 charges, which is an entire battery segment. And there are multiple copies.

3D World Re-Release + Bowser's Fury was 2021.

Tough how you want to categorize that one. I'm waiting with baited breath for Odyssey 2, but it does feel kind of surprising not to get something new for this long, or at least, it felt like they put out NSMB entries out at a quicker pace when they were doing those.

Oh yeah, Bowser’s Fury was technically a new game. I still want something else though (hell, I’d take another NSMB style entry or a 3D Land/World sequel at this point)

The second half of the year is looking pretty empty so far for Nintendo. A new mainline Mario would definitely fill that void.

Nintendo could do the most Nintendo thing possible & release Odyssey DLC 6 years after the game released.

I never said it was in botw, I'm comparing it to something that was. Each guardian clear in botw added a new weapon augment type.
In totk, I didn't see stronger enemies in old zones until i started clearing temples.

I saw black enemies before clearing a single temple and it's entirely possible to fight silver enemies in a freshly started game, though collecting enough weapons to be able to kill said enemies is another matter.

Hell, I killed a Skellox before I had the glider because some enemies are static and I immediately explored the caves under Hyrule castle after going there to look for Zelda.

You can drop a seed while falling and it'll light the floor, giving you a good idea of what's around. Finding any pieces of the mining set helps a bunch but you also collect a lot of seeds as you explore the land/sky. I think I have around 500 small and 130 large seeds currently and yeah I used a ton of them when exploring the gloom too. Probably 100 or so small seeds the first time I went down there.

Put a seed on your vehicle and/or attach a light. I did a bunch of exploring by flying around on a glider+2x fan+control stick with a large glowseed on the front and it helped a lot because the big glowseeds on a flying vehicle is a lot of light.

The completely weird and alien nature of the wildlife helps combined with your and the Pikmin's general helplessness. The fact they get eaten doesn't help because that's just straight up one of the worst ways to die.

In so many games you just get killed/shot but in Pikmin you get digested.
