Ugh...tranny I super respect your Metroid opinions and this is worrying. But...I'm not opposed to new things in the series and AM2R was amazing already so...it's less worrying in that sense. We'll see how I feel! The controls criticism is what has me most concerned here.

Nope, never owned a Wii U, so I never played that one.


It did everything right and felt largely like a SMW throwback in the NSMB art style. Can't recommend enough if you ever get the chance to check it out, especially if you were also extremely disappointed with the others (though I did find Wii to be at least a tiny step in the right direction).

Sonic 2006 is a weird case for me because I was used to 3-D Sonic games getting bad reviews and I figured it was just all overblown and it couldn't possibly be THAT bad...and then it was.

New Super Mario Bros. as a whole probably fits for me, too. Mario is one of my favorite series, and man, those games just feel so uninspired.


Did you play U, Leon? I found it so good I couldn't believe it was part of the NSMB series.

Super Mario Galaxy. God I don't think I've ever had so little fun playing a video game.


Jesus I can understand everything said in this topic, even Breath of the Wild, but this just seems...humanly impossible.

Possibly Twilight Princess for me if we're going solely by first playthroughs. But I love that game now and the remake fixed quite a few of my biggest issues with it, especially the difficulty.

e: But my actual answers are Halo 3 and ALttP. The latter might have been different if I played it in its heyday but people still think it's a great game somehow. (Minish Cap better in every way, yo)

Thanks for the fact check. I'm lazy today.

I'm pretty sure this is the smallest victory margin among multiple swing states in history then? I know there was some margin record this election broke.

given their policies it was more "the people need help and I will help certain subsets of them while actively not helping others".


that's what obama's policies turned out to be, yes, but he did run on an "i'm going to help the poor" platform. trump, however, ran on a "screw poor people" platform.

it's my belief that that's ultimately the reason why he won, too. people just found the things he was saying far more appealing than what hillary was saying. i think that's a far more important reason for his victory than the "he's such a master persuader" s*** scott adams was spouting.

that's also why i think bernie wouldn't have beaten trump, btw. the US population would never, ever have let a socialist become president. (he probably would have done better than hillary, though.)

I'm guessing you don't live in the United States, Lasa?

Hillary lost by the smallest margin in U.S. electoral history. I believe it was something like 100,000 people across a few states that would have swung the outcome in her favor. Pretty nuts. Not to mention she won the actual vote by an insane number of nearly 3 million people.

Trump didn't run on a screw poor people platform -- that's only come after he won the election. He ran pretending he was for working class people and that's what likely won him the presidency in the first place, since many states that were hurting the most from neo-liberal policies switched from Obama to him.

And the main point I want to make here is this: all evidence suggests Bernie would have mopped the floor with Donald. Screw the "socialist" rhetoric. Americans don't care anywhere near as much about that kind of thing as media pundits like to believe. They care more about who's going to really look out for them, rather than the labels with which people identify themselves. Trump and Sanders had an incredibly similar populist appeal -- it's just that Bernie wasn't a con man. Not only did Bernie beat Trump by a ridiculous average of 10 points on one-on-one match-ups with Trump in the polls, but if you go issue for issue, the American people align with Bernie on every. single. thing. This isn't my own biases talking here and I'm not exaggerating -- look up the polling data. Healthcare as a right? Check. Higher taxes on the rich? Check. Higher minimum wage like most every other modern nation? Yep. Free higher education? That too. A majority of Americans agree with all these. Probably because they're, you know, pretty common sense things.

Sure, there's an unreachable far-right crowd out there who the word socialist will never be un-demonized for, but Bernie's vast appeal among many of the people who eventually voted Trump shows how little people care about labels at this point in our history. Bernie winning Fox News polls on favorite presidential candidate proves this. And as someone who personally has a father who only watches Fox News and repeats all their talking points yet still says he would have voted for Bernie, I've witnessed this firsthand.

This was a change election, and I'd wager that Bernie had about a 98% chance of beating Trump if the Democrats didn't do everything they could to run their establishment candidate. I actually think Bernie would have struggled significantly more against someone like Ted Cruz (as appalling as that is), since he could have appealed to the traditional conservative base for a different kind of change -- that of small government -- which Trump didn't even try to do.

Yeah I agree it mostly died after that. I definitely can't see anything with Switch as a suffix ever happening beyond 1-2 Switch (if that even counts).
