The fact we are still forced to do 3 laps  or does no one like doing more than 3

Crazy how MK8 has been out for 10 years and there is still no way to select the amount of laps you want, mission mode or even the 2 rider mode option for DD

 

 but at least they finally  added a sound test, again after ten years

 

 

[Katamari]

Still really good tho

Loved SMRPG from beginning to end. Can't believe I never finished it when I was a kid.

Amazing game and storyline, cute and adorable too ugh  so worthy

I got myself Super Mario RPG and Ive been having lots of fun, never finished the game completely as a kid.

My only concern is that I'm already at 4 stars on my way to the 5th and I dont want the game to end so quickly  if it feels kind of short i might have to play it again

I feel the same way, I'm loving it so far but don't want it to end so soon

Playing Mario kart while listen to the sonic riders OST  

 

so nostalgic  

[Vroom Vroom]

Just completed the new Mario RPG. I played the original on the Wii virtual console as a kid. The original is a classic, but it is far from a perfect game. Many improvements could be made to it

 

This remake is a glorified port. The only slight changes to the battle system make the game laughably easy, any challenge from the original has been removed and there is no harder difficulty. Just Breezy and Normal. Nintendo is making the game more “accessible” but why are they so against adding a hard/challenge mode?

 

It is a frame by frame remake. Which at times comes off as lazy. They knew that the game needed more original content, that’s why they added a few cheap cutscenes and a post game (which is just boss rematches). These additions do not warrant a $60 price tag. 
 

The platforming sections are just as janky and unfun as the original. But no changes are made because they are so focused on recreating the original. 
 

There were many areas that they could have made improvements. Every boss in the late game do the same 4-5 moves. Why does a fire dragon in a volcano use the attack Water Blast? They couldn’t animate new attacks? Just copy and paste everything from the original and call it a day 

 

They have SNES games on switch online. They could have easily ported the original on there and it would be pretty much the same experience as this remake. This remake comes off as a lazy cash grab. I’m worried about the Thousand Year Old Door remake now. Hopefully that remake offers more than a direct port with fresh paint

Well then I'm glad I didn't get SMRPG since I just played the OG a few years ago and it looks like I'm not really missing out on anything new 

 

In other news, I'm playing Hades right now and oh, Supergiant ATE on this one

It’s probably a remaster with remade assets and not a full-blown remake

Considering the state of the Paper Mario series, I actually hope they stick to the original as closely as possible and don't try to "improve" anything.

I know—it's part of what inspired me to finally check out the first! I've been meaning to for a while, but wasn't sure if I'd like the roguelite structure, but I'm having a great time with it so far.

[Flocon]

What about the new Professor Layton game ?

I did ONE run with the bow so far and hated it  I used the sword my first few runs, bow once, then have been on spear ever since then. I JUST got to the final boss after 16 runs and thought I ate but then I died in phase two

 the Chiron Bow specifically, I can't aim & like to fight from a distance so the bow was perfect for me.

 

Athena's Divine Dash & Hermes' triple Dash are a must for me too  basically fire bow, dash away.

 

Chiron gets really fun when u pull stuff like this

I don't know what any of this means, but I'm happy you found a weapon that works for you.

 

 

(I'm already dreading having to escape using every weapon  I just want to be a spear main.)

Use Ares’ boon (attack/special causes doom) if you can. It melts hp so fast if you spam it

I don't know the differences between all status effects yet, but I know they're really good and I usually try to get one on my dash.

 

I think the best status boon I had so far (if it counts) is the Poseidon one that makes you push enemies back. The way no one was touching me that run  Made it to the Styx boss with all of my death defiances intact.

Hermes has a Boon that allows u to Dash 1 extra time

Athena has a Boon that allows u Reflect attacks while Dashing

 

Those 2 are pretty much something i always try to have for most my runs, u should try them out 

 

Also since u like Poseidon, iirc he pairs very well with Zeus when u get their Duo Boon: whenever u push enemies away they get struck by lightning.

There was also that boon that would make you place laser beams that self turn towards enemies. I would always win final boss with them easily

Demeter’s crystal beam  I used to win against the final boss with it as well especially when I’m feeling lazy

Damn I guess I’m playing Hades again  Hogwarts can wait
