There’s also a Fire Emblem Fates-themed 3DS XL hitting February 19 for $200, though it’ll come without the game. Read more

The ‘You have to beat it to upload’ it is pure genus and basic common sense. Thank you Nintendo for not overlooking this before the game shipped. Now do better for Mario Maker 2 for the NX.

In the world of reviews and youtube playthroughs 40$ is not that much money if the game is good. A lot goes into these games and if a person is going to get value out of it, whatever they personally deem that value, then its fine. Read more

Even if they are legit in being after a child molester, hacking a site, making a shady/cryptic message, and then threatening to steal all user info and such, bashing/blackmailing the CAG site runners, asking for payment, is not going to get people to believe you nor win support. Read more

The only thing that made this game boring was the crappy inventory system. I really loved everything else it brought to the table - gorgeous art, cool initial setting (though once you’re off the train it loses a lot of its appeal), really nice new monsters, some fun characters. Read more

Gonna have to check my stages and see if any of them have been taken down. Question though, how does one define popular? My most popular stage has like 150 stars where I have other stages ranging from 10-80 stars. Is 150 popular enough? Also, what if we slightly edit the stage and upload it again? Read more

Dragon’s dogma is the best action combat as you said. Read more

It’s basically become sports at that point. It’s not about ‘play’ as it is more about physically conditioning yourself to perform very specific motions and tasks. All of which is not attainable from just casual play.

Do we have to reference shadow of the colossus for any game that has big ass bosses? Read more

It sucks. I have been fortunate enough that I’ve lost few people in my life. 2 years ago it was my mother-side grandma. It was relatively sudden and it was awful. And I “got over” it relatively fast, a couple of months after, but now and then since those days, there’s times where I kinda forget that she doesn’t exist Read more
