Pikmin 4 is better than Pikmin 1

4 is comfortably second place but 1 is just so tightly put together in every regard

Pikmin 4 would be better if the day timer was more strict and if creatures respawned eventually

Ask me about my XCOM and controller collection

word.

I think pikmin 1 was the first time a game made me feel sad. Both for the dying pikmin and for the little monsters. My buddy had a GameCube which I had written off originally but when I saw pikmin I was like whoa, this is impressive. Bought my own cube the next payday. I still have it. And like 9 other GameCubes.

are translations something a translator/programmer could independently work on during off hours? Sounds like a good way to brown nose at Nintendo

Most translators are external contractors these days and translations take a lot longer than most people think. Also you then need to plug it into the actual game which would require corporate approval and testing at a company like Nintendo. I’m reminded of Dave Lang of Iron Galaxy telling a story once about someone who basically made a patch for the Xbox Live Arcade version of Street Fighter 3 in their own time. He said that’s great that you fixed this issue, but if we release it we’re then on the hook for certification and testing costs because our contract with Capcom has expired so we don’t have their money to use any more.

Translation on early consoles is further complicated because English words require far more storage space than kanji

Nintendo wouldn't have called it the Gamecube if it wasn't a cube. That's obviously just some wikipedia vandal, or AI written nonsense, or something.

That’s all well and fine, but if we’re going to be semantic dickwads here, I didn’t get a boy with my Game Boy, nor did I get you with my Wii U, where were you? :(

The Switch Lite isn’t all that light.

I didn’t get boobs with my D’s.

Oh, I’m sure one of us are going to get probed, I just thought it was a pedantic thing to argue about and bring up. Good thing they didn’t come out with GameTriangle that came with a free Triforce emoji and we can all be mad that it’s an isosceles triangle as opposed to a right angled one.

(which sucks because I have purchases going on in SA-Mart and likely need to communicate :v: )

It'd probably be better to talk about the Switch and associated Switch games in the Switch thread and take the GameShape talk to whatever the nostalgia gaming systems thread is.

e: oh holy poo poo. I just got the joke. Yes, otter mods in a fleshcube or whatever. Well this took a turn :golfclap:

Can we just talk about games now, and the Nintendo Switch 3 that will come out before the Switch 2?

Back to breakout games! My favorite is Gunbarich. It is available on Switch, even if it is a kinda funky emulated port looking thing.

Non breakout games, I hear Animal Well is swell.

Ugh, I have the biggest backlog, so a 2 year old game is going to be a breakout game for me :negative:

I have noticed a lot of my friends have been playing Animal Well, but between Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, I'm going to wait.

Plus I think I'm like 5% short of finishing Doom 3 - I don't understand what I'm missing. Oh well.
Also, I'm still on the TotK train and even though I could probably beat it right now, I still want to finish/find more quests :suicide:
