Don't they know the job of being a pink character who swaps between a bunch of different jobs belongs to a man like Kirby? calling Kirby a man feels incredibly, almost cosmically perverse

The new Peach game is just a subtle retelling of events from the manga to catch up new players. Peach can do martial arts. And Bowser and Luigi are married.

How is Fire Emblem Engage? I really liked Three Houses although was disappointed that its story was rushed through in the end. Someone at work told me Engage sucks and that's all I know.

They don't want anyone thinking about the actor.  that's exactly why they keep the same actors around for a long time with mascot roles like mario. if the character's voice is changing all the time people will notice it, if Mario's voice is the same for 20+ years then that's just what Mario sounds like

Hmm in that case, what's the better of FE:E and the Advance Wars Reboot? Never played Advance Wars so whether it's a retread won't matter. Edit: And Tactics Ogre! snoremac fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Oct 14, 2023 |

A Fire Emblem game with Three House's world building and Engage's gameplay would probably be perfect. That being said, Engage is better in almost every way.

never played a fire emblem game. just going over the wikipedia page now, and it appears there are a ton of entries. is there an overarching story? is one game a better entry point than others? does the story even matter for this series or any of its games? wouldn't even know where to begin.

I think Engage is probably the only FE game where it's a good idea to have played several of the previous entries since there are a lot of past heroes from those games. I've only started since path of radiance and awakening but I still really enjoyed Engage far more than 3 houses despite not knowing a lot of the heroes. Awakening is the first where they introduce some social mechanics. Previous entries focus more on story and battles. Honestly if you like social sims, 3 houses is pretty great. But starting with Engage wouldn't be bad, and you can go back and play the previous games to learn more about those heroes. The stories are typically pretty meh. But the other aspects like min/maxing and battling are so loving good and the permadeath actually makes you pay more attention. But newer entries have that as optional if you don't like it!

abelwingnut posted:never played a fire emblem game. just going over the wikipedia page now, and it appears there are a ton of entries. If you have the Expansion Pack, just play Fire Emblem GBA on the Virtual Console and go from there. Some of the Fire Emblem games are direct sequels/prequels for another entry but this is the exception, not the rule. In fact, most of the Fire Emblem games that are connected are difficult to get a hold of without emulation, so in your case I especially wouldn't worry about it. Assuming you only have a Switch, your other options are Three Houses and Engage, which are good games in their own right but Fire Emblem GBA is the most representative of the series as a whole and designed for newcomers as well. You'll find out if you like it quickly.

It doesn't exactly fix Bayo 3's massive plot problems but at least it like... provides context to why things are the way they are instead of SUDDENLY FAIRY KING. To be honest it really feels like it was the game they wanted to make and Bayo 3 was the game they were obligated to make.

Nintendo Power comics never got better than those Zelda and Mario comics, imo. I still wonder how they got Shotaro "I made Kamen Rider" Ishinomori for the Zelda one. That said, Star Fox was real good and Super Metroid was alright except for the end where the last metroid gets shot in the back by the Odious Comic Relief Character

The Star Fox comic also kind of gave us a proto Krystal in the form of Fara Phoenix (I seem to remember the latter being a better character though). Who drew that and the Metroid comic out of curiosity? And yeah, are any of these legally available online anywhere?

I coincidentally dug out my copy of the Zelda comic a few days ago. I'm surprised it survived in such good condition. When I bought it, they only had that and the Mario one listed. But I really regret not getting the Mario comic instead. I only saw one issue of it in Nintendo Power at someone's house. The one with the wedding. The Zelda one is missing all the  the Mario comic seemed to have.

Who drew that and the Metroid comic out of curiosity? I suppose for the sake of completeness it can be noted that the Link to the Past comic was done by Shotaro Ishinomori, who's probably got the highest profile of the bunch - he did Cyborg 009 and Kamen Rider.

He's also done a handful of Pokemon works and an Earthbound comic, but outside those he's probably known for his video game work - he was character designer for Earthbound (and Earthbound 64), was 3D modeling director for the Pokemon Stadiums, did graphic design for Kirby's Air Ride, and just a lot of supervisory and director roles for various Nintendo franchises from the SNES-DS years. Oh I knew that last one already (also it was mentioned on this page). Didn’t know there was an Earthbound comic though, is it good?

Tall Tale Teller posted:There's some really great mistranslations and engrish that are charming and cool AS HELL but what is going on in the plot? Nobody knows. I think plot misunderstandings are more just because Yasumi Matsuno's stories tend to be dense, politics-heavy, and rather dry. I loved Vagrant Story but I couldn't begin to recall what the plot was about at this point. Brilliant game designer though.
