  1. First Best Buy, now Target... That's definitely it. And those spin-offs also sell too. Zelda's few tries with spin-offs generally did not take off, even if Tingle has a whole trilogy. Granted, we have the Hyrule Warriors but that's it's own tier.
  2. The animation here is exquisite. I can overlook the MCU-tier humor.
  3. Most of the Kirby spin-offs these days are free-to-play. Unrelated but one of the funniest things about the Michael Bay Transformers movies is that King Arthur teams up with a giant dragon Transformer to fight the Saxons. England still exists which means that Arthur had a giant dragon Transformer on his side and still lost.
  4. Also kickstarters aren't guaranteed *looks at Red Ash*. Free real estate for termites. Marx was honestly kinda a pushover compared to Maglor. I mean, one phase? Please. See I thought this was just multiplayer as the main gimmick. Didn't realize it actually was a Metroidvania. Thanks for the info on the other games. I would've parried this.
  5. Kirby Super Star Ultra review Kirby Super Star Ultra is pretty good. A unique approach with it's anthology-based structure and this allowed it to come up with some pretty creative modes in the form of Great Cave Offensive and Milky Way Wishes and both modes kinda make me wonder how a Kirby Metroidvania would work. There's some foundations here for that. Then there's Meta Knight's Revenge, which was an enjoyable high-speed mode. I actually came quite close to running out of time in some parts. Speaking of high-speed, Gourmet Race is a classic. I did play that one in the original and i feel it controls better here? Spring Breeze and Dyna Blade are fairly standard Kirby adventures. The former is just a remake of Kirby's Dream Land. So fun but nothing to write home about. Ultra did add some new modes, mainly Revenge of the King and Meta Knight Ultra. While Revenge of the King is a good "hard mode" version of Spring Breeze (and even introduced Masked Dedede, this whole time i was being gaslit to think that was a Triple Deluxe thing), Meta Knight Ultra is fun at first but it's just redoing the original modes (minus Gourmet Race and Great Cave) as Meta Knight. The only difference is you fight Galacta Knight at the end but honestly i would've preferred it if it was more original. As a whole, Super Star Ultra is very fun and i wouldn't mind if they did something like this again. Maybe now that the series has fully gone 3D, they could do a "3D Super Star" or something. 8/10
  6. There's always talk about how car-centralized American cities are and how to fix them. Boston, at least, got a redemption arc and Rochester We can do it guys. Who knows, maybe we can bring back Cincinnati to it's original glory Ok maybe that's asking for too much. The Boston redemption arc took 16 years and that's one of America's smaller cities tho, imagine doing this to uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Huston. They are apparently opening (or should have by now) a location in Toronto, which suggests shipping across Canada too.
  7. Uhhhhhh in like February I think. Edit: that might've been a Partner Showcase actually.
  8. These are the DS games i've installed so far. The DS Zelda games with the d-pad patch The DS Fire Emblem games with the full content/Eng patch because maybe playing them on real hardware will turn my opinion around Explorers of Sky to relive my childhood Super Star Ultra because i've never played it before (the whole thing as opposed to just parts of it) Portrait of Ruin cause i could use some Castlevania and it looked fun when @Saint Rubenio played it And then turns out there's a Rayman DSIware game you can get from hshop So is the cat supposed to be god or something, i thought it was a joke.
  9. Spring Breeze 🤝FE3 Book 1 Remakes with less content
  10. If i had a nickel for every SNES game that was the third installment of a series that began in the 90s and that SNES game included a remake of the first game, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, it's just weird it's happened twice. Kirby Super Star 🤝 Mystery of the Emblem. (For the record, I'm playing Ultra). The patch just makes it so that you can move with the d-pad. Touch controls aren't gone.
  11. Fellas, there is a d-pad patch of both Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. I've installed these roms on my 3DS so I can play them in native hardware. We are so back. Me when I play Xenogears Disc 2.
  12. They put Candace in FEH. Capturable units are now fair game.
  13. I like how both America and Canada have a "Columbia". Yeah Australians have had it good for too long. Unrelated but when I first played Star Fox 64 3D years ago, I had played Ratchet and Clank earlier so I was expecting to fly around to different planets and land on them. I didn't know it was a remake lol.
  14. Which is ultimately why the whole thing is so silly. I'm pretty sure "there are other countries in America besides America" was never an issue until the rise of social media or at least it wasn't widespread. If you say American, the average person anywhere in the world knows which country you're referring to. I wonder if the like seven endings stopped the series from going anywhere. That's it really. It was the first country so they called dibs on the America name. If the continent was called Terra Nova or some shit, then it'd be the United States of ___". Also back then, people of the country were citizens of the state first, country second. You were New Yorker or Texan before American. It wasn't until after the Civil War that the American identity really took hold. Hence, United States *of*.
  15. North American Union would go hard. Solves the border problem too (because of this, it will never happen). Of course, people have bad memories of NAFTA so this side of the world getting it's own Schengen Zone probably won't happen for a good while. Canadians would rather kill themselves before being referred to as Americans. Tbf other countries on the continent didn't exist yet. The Aztec and Incan Empires, the last great nations of Native Americans, fell way before the Revolution.
  16. No no, Super Star was always on the list. I just wasn't sure if Ultra was preferable. Thanks for the info. Yes. My point was moreso "United Statesean" could apply to Mexicans. Venezuela was also a "United States" like half a century ago. Star Fox is one of the most squandered franchises ever because there's 7 games, three are basically the same game, one of which has its own actual remake, one is a game that was never meant to be Star Fox in the first place while the remaining three games actually advance the series in some way. And they kinda have to too. Canada doesn't register as another country to the average American. And by that I mean, it feels too similar. Crossing into Canada as an American is incredibly easy to do, depending on which state you live, you don't even need a passport, just your driver's license. Likewise, Canada is the only country in the world that can enter America without a visa or ETAS. Then, most Canadians live near the border. Someone from Detroit can just walk the tunnel into Windsor and if it wasn't for the border agents, they may not even realize they just walked into a different country because they both speak the same language. America is bordered by two countries but only one of them will actually feel like a different one (Mexico).
  17. Me when I could've been the 13th Antartican citizen instead of American citizen #1893729+3920/293804828283992019+482902923702 That's actually true though. For those who don't know, Latin American education (Puerto Rico aside) doesn't distinguish between North America and South America, it's just "America". They figured out to make "Estadoudinese" work linguistically (I also butchered that, didn't I). English translation would be "USian" or "United Statsian" which doesn't really work. ......but also there's no other country with "America" in it's name while there's currently two countries that are "United States" so ultimately "American" still makes the most sense. But we could've been more...
  18. *The Canadians have gone after Ruben's family for this comment* Should I play Ultra or is the original fine?
  19. It's not a bad game but it is a game of all time. I feel like even by rail shooter standards, there's just kinda nothing. *Ruben was then beaten to death by Canadians for this comment*
  20. Star Fox 64 (3D) is a game of all time. Let it be a lesson in that not everything you liked in childhood holds up. Also i'm deleting Citra off my PC lmao. No need for it now that my 3DS is modded. I went and got Star Fox, Kirby Triple Deluxe and Project X Zone 2 cause i wanna replay that on real hardware. Is there a reason why things would be censored in a remake? Beyond like outright sex scenes (actually Baldur's Gate exists so nvm).
  21. Ahh gotcha. To be fair, it'd be strange to have a Latin American festival celebrating Latin America and not include the biggest country/strongest regional power in the region. Oh this was months ago, i just now got around to posting the last set of pics. Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 The actual Day 5 (i was there for eight days, not seven)
  22. Yeah i think that pic was from Madrid and it got mixed up with the Valenca ones.
