I finally got around to beating Kirby Triple Deluxe despite owning it since shortly after it came out

Not much to say, Kirby games still own, and so do their finales.

I need to play through that again, I got the the last world when it came out and then my kids deleted my save file so I never bothered playing it again.

I forgot where I read this but Ubisoft has anti-high fantasy development culture, that's why Assassin's Creed continues its simulation meta-narrative framework

The framing narrative is such loving trash though. Surely they have to be aware of that, right?

Considering Ubisoft and Nintendo just worked together to actually good effect, you'd think they'd avoid stepping on each others toes so blatantly by releasing their AAA titles on the same day.

It's not like their games are even being released on the same consoles, literally nobody is going to be saying "well I COULD buy the new rear end creed but I'm gonna get Mario instead" and certainly not vice versa

Its espcially rough in ranked because of how far away a death puts you from the objective. Which is fine in concept but coupled with how the middle of that map is designed...woof!

Akuma is deceitful and a liar. His name would have you believe he is some kind of a bear but clearly he's just a guy.

Fortunately Tekken 7 lets you match him up against Kuma to set the record straight

hyphz posted:

I think Akuma is only called that because they called him that on Usenet.

Dunno if it originated with Usenet but they definitely called him that in the game magazines at the time.
If you used the code to play as him in the console versions of SSF2T, the versus mode score listings had him labeled as Gouki though.
Dunno why they didn't just stick with that for the English translations, maybe they thought people would pronounce it "gooky" or something.

Breath of the Wild made me revisit Zelda 2 and my opinion of its core design was much more positive than when I was a kid, but the dungeons are absolute trash. They're just as long as a 2D Zelda game with nothing in them. Just long hallways, dead ends, and optional enemies as you hunt for the hidden key to the next section.

I had the opposite experience, I had memories of enjoying Zelda 2 as a kid, but then I replayed it a few years back and I don't want to play that lovely game again as long as I live.
It's not even the nintendo-hardness of it, it's just a badly designed game.

If I buy a game on the nintendo store with the WiiU do I have it for all future platforms(like the switch) or is it platform specific?

I ask mainly because the account/purchases from my Wii didn't transfer over

The switch is not backwards compatible, so no your Wii U purchases will not carry over.
Your Wii purchases should have been accessible on the Wii U through the vWii side though, and stuff like VC that's available on both they give you the privilege of re-buying for the Wii U side for like $2.

I got as far as the fourth world and it took me dozens or even hundreds of runs just to get that far and then something killed me instantly and I had no idea what happened. I realized then that it would take me dozens or even hundreds more runs just to consistently get to the fourth world to actually learn and get a feel for it. I also realized that while I had fun with the hours I put into the game, I did not want to put more time into it and I knew I would have less fun if I kept trying at that point.

The above paragraph also describes word-for-word my experiences with Spelunky, Rogue Legacy, and Crypt of the Necrodancer

Rogue Legacy at least you can make progressively easier between runs.

Funny, I also beat Spelunky, Rogue Legacy and NecroDancer exactly once but never did anything extra after that in those either.

I usually play games only once, not even games I liked unless I really, really liked them.
I almost got to the City of Gold once in Spelunky, but then some bullshit killed me literally right in front of the door and I realized the process to get there was not fun at all and never bothered to try it again.

I liked the idea of trophies / achievements when they were basically some out-of-the-way extra challenges you could do after finishing a game that you wouldn't normally try to do in the regular course of gameplay, but after a while they seemed to all just become progress trackers and tedious "find all the bear butts" completionist crap.
