Topic | Nintendo series most ready to be a launch game, but hasn't before? |
UF8 04/27/24 1:29:56 AM #47 | let's go was pretty much an anti-experiment, they were hedging their bets by maximising the casual appeal (from go players and anime fans) so that feels like a pretty bad example compared to "x and y sequel for legends arceus players" anyway i was caught out, i was rewriting the narrative of the topic to suggest that the choice would be THE launch title, the flagship |

UF8 04/26/24 5:56:13 PM #43 | while that is not wrong, can you really imagine nintendo deciding to rely on a... sequel? prequel? to do the business for them on a new unproven console i'm even doubting that mp4 would manage to leave enough of a dent if it doesn't at least also come with 1-3 hd the possibility that switch 2 could be another wii u case isn't impossible |

UF8 04/26/24 5:32:11 PM #41 | MacArrowny posted... Pokemon Z-A itself seems like it might be coming out around the same time as the Switch 2.to elaborate, while it wouldn't surprise me if z-a could be a launch title for switch 2, i think it'd only really be a key system seller if it was gen 10 (and also far less rushed than swsh/sv which is impossible given the circumstances) |

UF8 04/26/24 2:57:57 PM #29 | if the metroid launch game in question is prime 4 (and trilogy hd at the same time) then yeah it would be the big one, anything less and it's debatable paper mario would not be unless it's literally a ttyd hd direct sequel lol pokemon would be a good one if they were solely focusing on it rn and not busy making z-a lol animal crossing would be if the switch 2 launch coincided with a new epide-too soon? dkc is a solid shout but it'd need to be something on a level beyond anything the series has had before to be a STRONG launch title compared to what came before. i wouldn't rule that out though, they've had time to quietly plan something like that if pikmin 4 had been a switch 2 launch title then it'd have been pretty good for one, but since it's not... KI would be a bold launch title tbh, i think it'd only work if it's specifically an uprising hd release and the switch 2 is prioritising all the same things that the 3ds had, 3d included (and that's never happening) star fox could've made for a good launch title but zero's reception killed any hope it'd have at being treated as a flagship now mario sports games are not system sellers lol smash and mk are the obvious answers still i think it's a less than good sign when a followup to nintendo land feels like a better system seller than most of them (in all fairness i think that could comfortably rival the peaks of the wii series on a console with a far higher potential install base) |

UF8 04/25/24 4:38:23 AM #11 | LightningStrikes posted... There are more New 3DS exclusives than PS5 exclusives lol. But yes, lets combine them together. I still dont think its Xenoblade because its kind of a messy port.i agree, it was a victory to get it on the 3ds but quite a pyrrhic one given the extreme limitations even as an exclusive to the enhanced hardware. still it was an easy meme vote though lol i might change my vote by the end, i haven't decided on what to yet though... i'd had stuff like the aforementioned sonic all stars transformed, mk7 and also ace combat 3d on my mind (sonic transformed runs like absolute hot garbage on 3ds though, and i'm not fully convinced that either of the others is a good pick really) |

Topic | Anime & Manga Discussion Topic 298: Anime is Saved |
UF8 04/24/24 6:30:55 PM #23 | i was skim checking the comments after my last post on the prior topic and i noticed some talk about 2014's anime, and since that was one of the years i watched a decent amount(https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/bb581ae9.png) i figured i might as well say what my favourites that year were i get it wasn't for everyone by then but liked the conclusion to initial d a lot and still consider it a ways better than mf ghost s1 at a minimum yama no susume s2 is a top 10 anime season for me of anything so that alone definitely carries the year for me madoka clones as they may have been, yuuki yuuna and selector infected+spread wixoss were both amazing imo kawai complex was legit tbh mekakucity was also a strong showing and underappreciated given it was still in the middle of peak monogatari years (and nisekoi was there too i guess) wake up girls is still one of the most uniquely worthwhile idol anime and it deserved a lot better at the time (even if it fell off in quality hard past s2) a lot of anticipated shows of the time fell off in due course, such as aldnoah, terror in resonance, trinity seven, mahouka, black bullet, tokyo ghoul, glasslip, (maybe) m3, and chaika... but some were still at least solid even while underperforming, which is why i'm not putting akame ga kill, shingeki no bahamut or noragami in the same category personally (i get others definitely would disagree though) besides yamasusu s2, while 2014 did lack the presence of stuff like kiniro mosaic or non non biyori on the cgdct/iyashikei front, it did also have gochiusa and somewhat unique productions like hanayamata and sora no method to make up for it and short anime had arguably their peak year then, with ai mai mii s2, both seasons of strange+, hacka doll and tesagure s2 all among my favourites in that niche, even if one DOESN'T of course count yamasusu s2 lol (and they're unlikely to ever leave that upper eschelon given the state of modern short anime...) on the ova side, the japan animator expo series brought about a lot of great pilots, and the young animator training project then known as anime mirai also had a strong year then too (even if the projects then never got the recognition little witch academia or death billiards did). it was a bit of a nothing year for feature length films though, outside of marnie and expelled from paradise if you want to be exceedingly generous (i wouldn't even be putting it in the discussion as a key film release if not for the sequel tbh) |

Topic | What's the most technically impressive Wii game? (Day 19) + Xbox 360 final |
UF8 04/24/24 4:11:32 PM #22 | i do think that wii spearheading motion controls did give a valid reason to consider games that put said tech to actually impressive use (especially given the advantages wiimotes still hold in several areas over the likes of joycons), the one real issue is not much of that is really at the top of the pile here past that, as many of the more experimental stuff was just remarkably limited on the control front because of it (often only playable in one control style, or else practically only) of course, considering that most of the real technological advantages the wii had over the gamecube were the larger disc sizes, it's not really super fair to say its games should've been any looking better than they did lol. it was a low budget shovelware library system for reasons beyond just its successfully marketed gimmicks, there was just that little reason to push it given how blatantly far behind it was for its time |

UF8 04/24/24 2:22:26 PM #20 | figured i'd mention i was contemplating other alternative options like smg 1/2, sonic colors, dkc returns, skyward sword, and also the last story, but due to their largely linear design they didn't really justify being taken over xenoblade imo (it's probably not a big surprise but colors had the overall edge among them slightly for me). i also thought a bit about ones like brawl (for how much content it had), mkwii (for having much better netcode), certain gamecube ports such as new play control pikmin 1 or 2 and re4 (for the quality of their controls), and i also thought about prime 3 and also prime trilogy, and if not for the fact that i realised that dqx beat it out handily in size and scope i probably would've gone with trilogy |

UF8 04/22/24 11:41:04 PM #415 | oh i decided to do a runthrough of all the bad isekais a couple of days ago just to see if there's any worth continuing Re:Monster was certainly something, having made it to the end of the third episode. I thought it was interesting to see a series do the same thing as that farming isekai and basically just have the protagonist describe what they'd done in effectively diary form, and even in this presumably relatively sanitised adaptation, one could still tell that this couldn't have been much further from that one in terms of tone lol Archdemon's Dilemma was a standard master-servant fantasy romance series, it's fine i guess? So far it seems like it's teetering on the edge of deciding whether or not it wants to be a harem series or not, with the most noteworthy aspect being that virtually every relevant harem candidate shares the same backstory of being somebody the protag previously saved in pretty much the same way lol the Lv2 Cheat Powers anime was exactly standard fare bad, but i guess it had monaca-esque op/eds so it wasn't a complete waste to check it. Side note, this got me wondering what hidekazu tanaka had gotten up to as of late and i guess he's in jail now. "oops" Banished Former Hero may be in the running for worst anime adaptation of the year tbh. in a way it actually managed to get to the point of being so bad it's enjoyable though. or maybe the shouta aoi voices just got to me, who knows. i love how immediately everyone just knows he's the strongest character in the show, despite having provided all of the obligatory "yeah he's totally the weakest guy ever with 0 abilities" backstory the mage one (Reincarnated as the 7th Prince or whatever) was cool... well, it's not really a very interesting series, but the protag is fun and carries it on some level i didn't get on sequels or i think one other one yet i did also start on Loser Ranger though, not sure how i feel about it yet but at the very least its OP and ED look cool also i undropped highspeed etoile and it's not my least favourite show of the season any more lol (i bumped it up from a 1/5 to a 2/5 by the end of episode 3) |
