I collected the 120th star in Galaxy yesterday, then realized the special challenge world is gated behind collecting all the stars as Luigi, and promptly closed the game. Part of me wants to do it because Galaxy is lots of fun and part of me wants to play something else and there's too much vying for my attention.

Maybe I'll read a book.

the “special challenge world” isn’t actually a challenge world, it’s just a short little victory lap through the area from the opening

Im playing Odyssey again and it still rules maybe play that instead of doing the Luigi stars

Yeah I just started replaying Odyssey after Wonder, I haven't touched it since 2017 and it's still amazing. It feels so polished and complete, the whole presentation from the worlds to the costumes to the little moon objectives. Even little details like the maps in each world that have descriptions in the margins. And it doesn't waste your time at all. Just an absolutely fantastic game.

Beat Wonder, got 6 medals. Great game, but my plan to use one character per castle was ruined by there not being a castle in every world.

As I was putting the game back in its case I saw my copy Pikmin 4 and figured out what I'm gonna (re)play until Mario RPG comes out.

In the PS1 version, you eventually hit a point where you have to do the thing. I didn't know about the punch the statue method at all though. But you'll be required to do that at least once to finish the last hit point. He'll just teleport away from every punch you throw from that point on. And I think bullets stop landing way before he gets that low. So one method or the other is required.

I was really thinking about getting the MGS collection on the Switch but if they really removed all mention of Hideo Kojima's name from the games that's just incredibly hosed up. I'm sure people will barge in with examples, but I can't imagine that happening in any other big creative industry, like a movie studio re-releasing a major motion picture from a big name director like Spielberg or whatever and removing his name from the credits.

How movie studios credit people who work on their movies is pretty strictly regulated by union contracts. Those contracts would prevent a studio from removing names when issuing a re-release or remaster or whatever.

The video games industry, not as much unionised.

The games themselves keep his name everywhere they were in the original. Its in the extra materials where they do their best not to mention him.

Hes still in all the credits and Kojima Productions logos are still in

Good news - while Galaxy does have a final two stars to get as Mario and Luigi, bringing the final count to 242, it is not in a special challenge level. It's literally just a couple minutes long and consists of collecting purple coins in the area in front of Peach's castle from the opening of the game. It's absolutely not worth it and you're missing nothing by moving on.

They didn't start doing actual final challenges until Galaxy 2.

That's not really quite as bad then I guess, just have been hearing comments about it on the Internet but didn't understand it very well and from the way people talk about it thought it was a case of actually retroactively removing the text from the games themselves. Which I first thought was a joke but heard from several sources and thought it would be pretty hosed up if true.

Yeah I guess that makes more sense than foolishly just thinking that as an older and more established industry it has higher standards of artistic integrity or whatever.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

Just an update to my voucher mishap: I'm getting a refund for the erroneously-purchased second voucher set.

:toot:

While talking to the rep (she called me! I expected an email) I asked her if she saw the timestamps as I only had date stamps, and she said that the purchases were made within 3 minutes of each other. That led her and the review team to thinking that it might've been more of a system/eshop/input issue more than me just doing it twice and regretting the second time.

Anyway, I hope this is the last time I have to deal with any of this.

The irony of this whole thing is that there's about a 85-90% chance that I'll be yet again getting a voucher pack for two other games.

If Metroid Prime 4 and F-Zero Whatever is released on this switch, then yes plz.

Lots of sales in the eshop right now. Picked up Super Meat Boy Forever expecting it to be a platformer but it's a runner game. Jump and punch are also the same button so if you're one pixel off the ground you dash into death instead of jumping again... I gave up on the second level in frustration.

Grim Fandango looks cool so I'll grab that next.

Yeah as soon as the first trailer came out for it I think reactions were universally negative. But they stayed the course even though it didn't come out until like two years later

Devil World's neat. Miyamoto's take on the Pac-Man maze genre, and his first console-centric game. Released in Europe, but never got a US release due to all the religious iconography. I think this might actually be its first official release in the US? I don't think the Virtual Console version appeared out there.

Murasame Castle is also cool. An action game with a medieval-Japan setting, using the Zelda 1 game engine. FDS and Japan-exclusive, but it got an international release on the 3DS Virtual Console. Well worth a spin, IMHO.

The Game Boy Castlevanias generally don't seem very well-liked.

EDIT: The Japanese apps are getting the same games this time around, with one addition - a "SP" savestate for Ninja JaJaMaru-kun that starts you at Stage 19.
