Roughly what percentage of games use B for jump vs A?

I decided to take a break from totk to play some Splatoon and it's obvious I need to stick with the same jump button whenever possible but tbh idk which button it is.

Nintendo should expand the newest Mario Party the same way they've done with Kart.

I want to get it because it's always a fun treat to play but five boards kinda stings tbh, especially since its so much better than the prior game.

:hmmyes:

I would gladly pay like $10-$15 bucks every few months for a new board and like 10-15 new minigames

It’s flabbergasting that they aren’t capitalizing on this

That's a difficult question to answer because it even changes from country to country. Plus there days you have to include shoulder buttons and Y and even the dreaded X.

I like Daisy's Cruiser and all, but Wario Colosseum is the all-time best track.

And with Dino Dino Jungle and DK Mountain in the game Daisy Cruiser isn't even Top 5 for me. But excited to see what they do with it here.

It isn't just declining, it is past the point of sustainable population, while the population itself continues to get older and older. Eventually you reach a point when the population is too old to work and there aren't enough young people to maintain everything that needs to be maintained.

It's genuinely hard to picture but imagine if half of everyone under the age of 40 disappeared but nothing else changed. Even if you still have a large population that would be catastrophic.

Still holds up. It's one of two N64 games that my son plays consistently, Wave Race being the other

I remember liking San Francisco Rush a lot. It was fun how you were able to find short-cuts on your own back then, because everything instantly became common knowledge via the internet.

IIRC there was this one tricks arena thing where you could make your car flip out. I actually may have played that game more than any other N64 game; I didn't really game much in general until around 1999 or so.

Rush 1 had a secret stunt area hidden in a cave on one of the tracks, but there was still no way to turn off the checkpoint timer so you couldn’t really enjoy it. Rush 2 had a dedicated stunt mode with a big neon arena with dozens of every kind of ramp you could dream up and a scoreboard that tracked your wildest flips.

2 must be the one I played then.

I remember the secret paths in that game just being really fun and cool. The sort of thing where you're just really excited when you stumble across one of them. Which I guess is why I still remember it, despite having very little memory of the other N64 games I played, like Banjo Kazooie.

Edit: I googled this and watched the stunt area and I'm getting one of those downright disassociative nostalgia bouts, where everything about this arena and the music, way the car handles, etc is coming back to me
