They throw or plant the bombs in the correct contexts, near an enemy or a destroyable wall.
In the gamecube version, they dropped the bombs when you whistled them, but not in this version thankfully.

Shocked I tell you
Just got rid of the Cutscene lag in Raincode. Just changed the Switches TV settings to 720p instead of 1080. Game still looks more or less the same and runs better.

Yeah, but c'mon. Don't you wanna hear Soken do another one with bits of Mario-inspired sections? Sure, the original Super Mario RPG didn't have that going, but let's get crazy.

If you’re talking about inserting Mario leitmotifs in the way that Soken works in the FF prelude into everything, I totally agree that would be dope af.

Ugggh, I'm really disappointed to read that the co-op in the campaign of Pikmin 4 is just some lame Mario Galaxy type thing where player 2 is just a cursor that throws rocks or something. Like at that point why even bother with it, just play single player.
Having the same style of co-op as 3 was the #1 thing me and my wife and also my sisters in law who have put like 8 billion hours into the co-op in 3 were looking forward to. Was even going to buy another controller for it. I guess having only played the Switch version of 3 I only really think of Pikmin as a 2 player game, I'm not even sure if I ever played it single player. 3 was very good co-op like splitting up to work on different objectives and I guess I should have expected as much since they didn't show off co-op in any of the Nintendo directs but it was always listed as 1-2 players on Dekudeals and the eShop so I thought it must work similarly to 3.
I preordered it already with the voucher back when I got TotK but my excitement for it basically just fell through the floor after finding out it's more or less single player only.

I just picked up Pikmin 1, and was the option to reset to a specific day present in the Wii port? That was by far my favorite QoL upgrade in 3.

Uh, not complaining about the fact that it is there, but that it's a really big step backwards from the previous game in the series. (the Switch version of it anyway)

Just finished Pikmin 4. It is...completely different than any other Pikmin game before it.

I still don't know how to feel about it.

I imagine having a custom protagonist is a serious change to a series that until now has been heavily defined by the protagonists being distinct characters with their own personalities, roles and arcs.

‘Pom’ seems to be the canon/default design for this character, which I’m happy with and will probably use in the main game. She’s got a great ‘new employee’ face.

Is this for real? The co-op is "you get to use a cursor"?

Wtf? I'd understand this if it was a mode added to the port of Pikmin 1, but to do that after Pikmin 3 is :psyduck:

You want to allow the 2nd player to help out in that way, fine, make it a mode or option. But jfc, put in actual co-op gameplay, Nintendo.

I sincerely hope that this is just some demo limitation and Nintendo is horrible with PR and there's the option to have both players controlling their own character in the full game.

It'll be just as feature deep as the co-op in Bowser's Fury!

Cassette Beasts just got a patch on switch that drastically improves the performance, if anyone was waiting for that. I was very negative on the port when it first came out, but after playing for a half hour or so post patch I’d say it’s totally fine now.

Neat! I wonder if that was a Switch-only patch or if it was across the board performance improvements.

I've been really gettin' into it on the Steam Dreck recently.

The patch itself was was for version 1.2 and added some new content (there’s a news post in the switch feed about it), so I assume all the platforms got that, at least.

Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
Reminds me of the bullshit flashbacks that got real popular in ace attorney 2 and onwards. The game literally replays what just happened maybe MINUTES AGO except it's in grayscale now so you know it's a memory/reflection

Nope it's not sped up at all they're literally re-using content as padding or I have no fuckin clue what their goal is. Thankfully I haven't seen much of this in the great ace attorney duology

But yeah this is just making me reflect on the fact that the second AA trilogy kinda sucks compared to the rest of the franchise. The guitar scene in Apollo Justice is just the worst lol

This is most likely bullshit, but the same person leaked Metroid Dread before it was revealed.

It's also not rocket science to figure that Mercury Stream has a dev kit for the Switch successor.

The Switch’s successor is far enough along that Nintendo’s confirmed they’ll be using Switch Online accounts for the transition to “the new hardware” so it’s not really that out there to assume dev kits exist for it, but :lol: at thinking they’ll announce it the month after announcing a shitload of new Switch games stretching into the end of this year. My guess is we’ll get a fall announcement for a spring ‘24 launch, at the earliest
