As someone who literally just played Sonic Adventure DX for GameCube, it was TRASH. Terrible game.I
sonic adventure 2????
was trash
so was sonic adventure
nostalgia would make u think otherwise
but in hindsight so damn trash
having to play as big the cat
Sunshine > Galaxy 1 > Galaxy 2 > M64
I'm disappointed Nintendo didn't make a major Mario game for the Wii U, but probably because the U's sales numbers weren't too great. Should've made Odyssey for the Wii U like Breath of the Wild.

Mario 3D World was the Wi U's Mario Game. It was amazing. Solid gameplay and great level design. Graphics were solid as well. Low key slept on IMO.

I'm wondering if I should get it because it's not like Sunshine/Galaxy with a story mode/open world. It seems too much like New Super Mario Bros.

Finally got around to beating BOTW. It was my first Zelda game.
Spoilers just in case
Spoilers just in case
I def over prepared for Ganon 
I had all my best weapons and shields saved for the final showdown. I wound up getting into the castle without having to draw a single weapon, then only needed the master sword and one shield against him.
I think without a replay, it's hard to really fathom and fully appreciate how big the game really was, and how long of a way you come from the moment you awaken in the shrine of resurrection without clothing or a weapon, a sheikah sensor for shrines, or a paraglider -- to when you make light work of Ganon. I have no plans on playing it over within the next few years to garner that appreciation though.
I loved the scaling of difficulty on the shrines. There were a few I wanted to give up on, but I was always eventually able to solve each one I came across (aside from some quest ones.) I think the game was ultimately more of a puzzle game than an action-adventure, at least the way I played it. The breaking weapons basically forced me to flee when possible rather than fight. I also didn't find out what Korok seeds did until near the end of my playthrough (-_-) which might have made me flee more than other players. I basically wound up doing mostly puzzling with shrines/divine beasts, and a few Ganon fights and "tests of strength" sprinkled in between. My encounters with enemies in the open world are among my least fond memories of my playthrough. I often got stuck having to alternate between remote bombs for kills, in order to preserve my better weapons. I definitely plan on giving some Lynels fades now though since I don't need to conserve weapons anymore.
Random side notes, my favorite approach to boss battles was increasing my speed. I also emphasized stamina over health later in the game and maxed it out. I felt like battousai out there with speed as my best defense
. I also don't know if this is common, but my armor set of choice strangely was the climbing gear. It was fully upgraded and I loved using it to get around. I barely used horses, which might not have been the best idea.
I know Link doesn't speak, but if I'm being honest, the trade off in feeling like the player is the protagonist, isn't worth the additional story, depth, and emotion that can be gained from giving the silent knight a voice. It felt like something was missing, and not just because of what I'm used to.

Finally got a Switch from the Nintendo store. I didn't even think they sold them there. Who knew?
Anyway I already got BoTW and I think I'll grab MK8 next, but are there any solid games I'm missing?

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn out this fall, NBA Playgrounds players on Switch can get it for free
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn finally has a release window, with Saber Interactive announcing today that the game is launching this fall. Better yet, Switch owners have an opportunity to pick up a free copy if they purchase NBA Playgrounds.
Saber Interactive is putting the newly-announced offer in place as a way of showing its appreciation to the community. Anyone who buys NBA Playgrounds on Switch before the game’s online patch drops will be entitled to Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn at no extra cost. This promotion will only be available on Nintendo’s platform.
Saber CEO Matthew Karch said in a statement:
“We had every intention of launching online play for NBA Playgrounds on Nintendo Switch within days of release, but, despite our best efforts, it didn’t play out that way. We sincerely apologize for the delay and want to let everyone know the fix will be coming very soon. But words are cheap, and games are not. So we’re giving everyone that bought NBA Playgrounds on Nintendo Switch before the online play patch hits a free copy of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn on Switch this fall to express our gratitude.”
NBA Playgrounds is starting to be updated on other platforms, which includes fifteen new players along with the ability to play as Shaq with the various teams from his career. Challenge Mode (challenge players to online matches) and a new connection manager (monitors the connection of players during ranked matches and penalizes disconnections from games that are made to avoid losing) have also been added. The entire shooting system has been updated as well with reworking timing, a meter, and clarified UI.
Going forward, Saber “will be giving players new ways to compete with online tournament functionality, and dozens of new players will be released shortly.”

Where is my free Shaq-Fu?! I can already see it has a better soundtrack and more in-depth story than BOTW. My body is ready.

Yea this game is severely underrated (by gamers, not critics)
Getting 100% completion was the most frustrating yet most rewarding gaming experience I ever had.

If you're into racing games aside from MK8, Fast RMX is a thrilling game. Game looks really good, especially in portable mode.

$20 a year..............****, I'm sold.
Granted, it's not like there are many co-op games that will utilize Nintendo's online services. Nintendo don't do "da COD tings"

Kotaku spike with Nintendo and their plans on the classic games changed. If y'all remember, when they announced the online stuff, Nintendo said that monthly, one could download a classic game and keep if for a month and then have the option to buy it and of course, people were upset cause there are things like ps plus that let you download and KEEP your game.
Nintendo apparently read and heard the outcry and changed their format to more of a Netflix type of style.
