I think playing SMRPG for the first time with the remake will be a treat. It's kind of an in-between of the Final Fantasy games Square made at the time and the more reflex-focused combat of Paper Mario and M&L. Really, the game's biggest success was being the first Mario game to really give Bowser a personality, and also being the first real game where Mario and Bowser team up. Likewise, it's nice to actually have Peach as a playable character and be actively involved in the plot. Mallow and Geno are also fine characters, though I think Geno is overrated and Mallow a bit underrated. There's enough cool moments that if you haven't played it before, I'd recommend checking it out, whether the original or the remake.

Yeah, it's kind of weird to think of just how much of what is Bowser's personality now comes from SMRPG. It's like how Shy Guys and Birdo came from SMB2 which wasn't even a Mario game in Japan.

What's the grinding situation like? Say if I grind for new weapons in every town, will that be enough?

John Wick of Dogs posted:There's no grinding to speak of, enemies appear on the overworld instead of random encounters Someone mentioned a difficulty spike at some point. Random battles isn't grinding, grinding is when you're forced to fight battles to get stronger to get through content since the game doesn't scale well-enough on its own. Presumably then if I were to fight every monster on a screen as advance that'd do it, or is that unnecessary and overkill?

100YrsofAttitude posted:Hm, not my favorite that. There's a pretty nice mechanic where the overworld map random encounters show up as regular enemies, and if you get a star you can rush through them, and as you touch the enemies you just kill them, get the EXP without entering a battle. Once the star runs out, you go through all the level ups. There's a few places where you can do this, save, reload, and the star and enemies come back so you can quickly level up a bunch. In general the game is easy, and will help you by giving you free items (there's some consumables that deal mega damage), when you use them you'll "get a freebie" and it won't deplete your inventory.

Which maybe sounds like grinding but that's how I play normal Mario games anyway. Speedruns exist of the game where they don't really fight any enemies at all and just use strategic power stars at certain locations for all the levels they need. This is very difficult, but if you can beat the game skipping combat, then you don't need to find to beat it comfortably

i kinda skipped most of the direct but its neat that pikmin 1 & 2 are getting switch releases. I'm really bad at those games but I honestly prefer them to pikmin 3 because the writing and tone are better. I like that pikmin 1 has an explicit fail condition, it makes the game more tense. I also like that pikmin 2 is just like "lol gently caress you here's an unkillable water monster who can and will massacre your forces." It's good!! More games should be actively spiteful, it makes winning more satisfying!

Yeah I don't remember a difficulty spike in super Mario RPG it's fairly forgiving as long as you get into the occasional random encounter Pretty sure at the end I was mostly just hitting attack on every single random encounter or my strongest spells + sp recovery items as needed when fighting bosses bored out of my mind. Presentation is top notch and the music is incredible though

I wish this put an end to the "Nintendo will abandon their largest user base next year" circlejerk that keeps happening. I mean we'll 100% get some sort of 4 k Switch but there's no loving way they burn their entire audience for no discernible reason. They're rolling in cash, and first party exclusives from a half decade ago are still on sales charts.

I think Mario RPG also had a level cap of like, 30 max. Which no one on earth should ever hit, because level 16 or so is already way more than enough. There's never ever a reason to grind. It is literally the Mario of RPGs.

With nintendo it's usually a case of their userbase abandoning them when the appeal of the latest gimmick wears off and/or they put out a piece of crap

So hyped for wario ware move it. Hope it can reach the heights of twisted, the trailer suggests that it's hitting the mark in all regards Every previous console Wario ware game always had some compromise or was in a very different format compared to the portable ones. Haven't played the latest one on switch partially because it deviated from the formula, does that hit the same highs as twisted, touched or the og? November is quite a ways out I'm craving some Wario KingSlime fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Jun 21, 2023 |

It's entirely coming from fail journalists, which in turn is history repeating itself as the same exact thing happened with the Wii / Wii HD. They get this wrong idea in their head and refuse to let it go, even twisting contradictory news to fit their narrative I saw this headline today from a website I generally like that essentially said "well, this Direct was pretty soft, so that must mean they're scraping the bottom of the barrel and Switch 2 is any day now". jesus christ they're so dumb!

Does anyone play Neverwinter? My kid has started a game on the xbox and I know there's a way to link an account to that so your purchases can follow you, but is there a way to do that on the Switch version? He spent $4 to be a dragonborn and seems to think this is the be-all, end-all of the game. he spent 2 days basically sitting on the couch playing and i'd like to be able to send him to his room to play instead.

I said come in! posted:It helps that the original artist on the soundtrack is back for this! Yes indeed! Yoko Shimomura is a genius. Her soundtrack for the game is so inspired and filled with such good vibes and joy. Really curious to hear Barrel Volcano as it's such a mixup in the OST, incorporating that phat synth bassline.
