What amazes me is that people are still being cheated with Mario Party "Demo" being charged as full price.

I really want to see this happen. Hence my disappointment when the EDP DK rumours suggested the game would be 2D.
If it's true, I'm sure it would be great but Nintendo doesn't do enough fully 3D platformers considering how good they are at making them.
The game gets some unnecessary hate at times but it's genuinely fun, despite how derivative it is. Going to dive back into the PS5 version myself when I'm done with Hyrule Warriors.
Not sure how far you are but the combat becomes surprisingly good as you unlock more abilities. Lots of room for neat combos.
Yea, I have enough open world games in the backlog so I skipped out on this for now. I will probably get it next Black Friday.
It still amazes me that they stopped at 2 DLC packs. Hopefully whatever the next Mario Kart is will come very heavy with content.
I wasn't aware that SMT games all have a Godslaying moment at some point. Persona 5 was my first SMT ever so yeah :). But good to know! Looking forward to SMT V.
No I was aware Yaldaboth was also in the original. I just liked it better with Shido being the bad guy haha. I felt it was sort of random. That said the scenes that joined it with Satanael are definitly awesome.

After almost 30 million copies sold. The time is probably spent better elsewhere even if it would be potentially easy money.
plus could be a thing of not wanting to waste creating new things since theirs going to be a sequel eventually and just wait it out till then.
yea the ship sailed on that years ago. Any hope of new DLC died at the end of 2017. That's ok. I'm just excited for the next one which is (hopefully) a launch window title on the next system
The amount of work that would have to go into making it a TTYD style game would be significant enough on its own that calling it a port at that point would be kind of silly.
no the base game would be the same, there would just be a TTYD-like expansion. Like 3DW+BF
So pay $60 for a game that wasn't good and maybe a 5 hour tops DLC expansion? Nah. Just port the first two games in the series.
Weighing in on the discussion of "risk" when it comes to 3D World vs. Odyssey, here's how I see it:
I agree that compared to the wider video game industry, 3D World was riskier because of how it opposed the open-world paradigm that games at the time had been, and largely still are following. However, within the Nintendo bubble, it was a very familiar experience, as it had clear foundation to build off from in the form of 3D Land, and it drew from many of the mechanics we recognized from the Galaxy and NSMB games.
Odyssey on the other hand definitely skews closer to the open-world zeitgeist, but I would say that it was more of a risk relative to the Mario series' history and Nintendo's history as a developer. It's closest cousins are 64 and Sunshine, but it deviates much more from those games than 3D World did with Land. Another aspect of Odyssey that is also worth mentioning is its presentation. 3D World stuck pretty close to how we would "expect" Mario games to look and feel, but Odyssey pushed the envelope a bit more with the normal sized people and photo-realistic dinosaurs and what not.
So I guess how risky the games are really just comes down to what you're comparing them to. I'm rambling at this point lol but its an interesting discussion and I wanted to add my 2 cents.

Ah, I see. I think that would piss more people off than it would please, though.
That game was close to perfect. Sadly the battle system is not fun in random encounters so I skip them. Boss fights are great with it tho. If the games was quicker with its battles if would have been a 10/10 for me.
No. I personally wouldn't.
I'll buy a soundtrack release if Nintendo would do those on ITunes!
Probably not even though TTYD is my favorite game. I enjoyed TOK well enough but I have pretty much emotionally detached myself from the franchise. I hope turn based Mario RPGs come back in some form but I have made peace with the fact that it won't be from the PM or M&L series any more.
The boards are some of, if not the, smallest in the series.
What...there was no "open-world paradigm" when it came to platformers. There are only a handful of 3D platformers as is and, if anything, they're usually defined by Mario games
For sure. I wasn't talking about platformers though, I was talking action-adventure games as a whole.
This is the problem...
Yoshi
DK
Wario
Kirby
Give me at least ONE of these in 3D please.
the boards are small in size and in number but it has some really good side content and only a few of the minigames are poor which is more than can be said of the other couple of games in the series I've played. So it's still really enjoyable.

It's on the higher end in terms of mini games, lower end as far as boards go. Although this has been an issue with the series for a while.
Idk how a 3D DK would be. I'd be interested but there's just no telling what it would be like.
I think a 3D Yoshi could be cool, especially if they dropped the egg throwing mechanic

Agreed, until the last sentence. I think Xenoblade X port on a new hardware makes more sense, if we're expecting the successor to the Switch in 2023 or 2024. Nintendo and MS are aware there is a lot of demand for an X port. And with how the game ended, they can use that to their advantage to make a sequel on the same hardware.
Alternatively, if Monolith decide they don't want to/aren't going to make a XBX sequel, a port could allow them to do a sort of "future connected" bit that adds on a fair amount of new content (maybe a new continent?) and gives some closure to the story, too.
Your conclusion is correct. 🙂
In the comments section of the latest Podcast, Nate said there will be a Monolith Soft game shown off this year. In the 2021 software podcast video, Nate predicted a new Xenoblade game either this year or next.
They should release Amiibo Festival as a free game to sell amiibo figures.
I thought someone hinted that a group of young talented people from Nintendo's in-house teams will be making DK. They're supposedly fans of the DKC trilogy.
Was that Spawncast 158 or Nate the Hate?
On a sidenote, i've managed to catch up with all the latest ones. Good stuff
I've played 65 hours, done the epilogue and there is still stuff to do.
And yeah just so much fun it is a really special game.
I would buy a Color Splash port full stop, even without extras. I know it has a bad reputation but I honestly loved that game.
That's possible, but sure would be very disappointing if it's anything like FC. It needs a Torna sized continuation at the very least. A full-on sequel would be ideal.
I'll keep that in mind, thank you! Doing any other physical activity right now beyond dog walking seems unlikely, but once the weather warms up and I can realistically get back to riding my bike, I think that will also help too.
Just need to now find healthy snacks for when I enjoy the occasional jazz cigarette and the munchies hit haha
Probably not. I got the game super cheap and the main mode was just REALLY boring.
This could work though.
I mean, maybe this is an unpopular opinion but the best part of Paper Mario has always been the charm and the writing. If TTYD didn't have the charm and writing of Paper Mario it probably would have been like a 7.5/10 game. Color Splash still had great writing even if it had problems and was like a 6/10 in other areas.
It also has the co-op rafting mode which is great and got a ton of play in my house. Team work makes the dream work!
I'd be surprised. That game was super Rare so if Nintendo was internally doing it, it would turn out much, much, much differently.
