  1. Big ooof! ...Ep. 1 hasn't even released yet! Hopefully this doesn't mean bad things for a season 2, which they apparently have plans for. Since he wiped all his socials, he really must be in some serious shit, which is a shame, since he's a big fan of the original series and because I heard X '97 is supposedly really good.
  2. It's kind of hard to want to go back and play the monochrome version of Dr. Mario on Game Boy when we already have the NES version on Switch. I wished we would have gotten Yoshi's Cookie (specifically the NES version) instead. I know it's more considered a Yoshi game and they want Mario games for MAR10 Day, though Mario is in it. Plus, need I mention the whole SMB universe? IDK why Nintendo hasn't re-released this since the Wii VC. I wonder if it's do to some weird licensing issue, especially since we never got the SNES version on the WIi VC? While the NES and GB versions were published by Nintendo (developed by Tose), the SNES version was published and developed by Bullet Proof Software (a predecessor to the now Blue Planet Software. Both which, were founded by Henk Rogers, of the "Tetris rights" fame). Both the GB and NES versions say licensed from Bullet Proof Software on the title screen, so... Yoshi's Cookie is such a great little puzzle game (I think the NES version is the best)... and that music!
  3. Since we played TETRIS 99 last week (along with F-ZERO 99)... I just want to mention that if we ever play Tetris again, TETRIS EFFECT has a really cool co-op mode, where 3 people work together to take down a boss (4 if one player is the boss. Though, I haven't fully grasped how to play as the boss) *See video below* This game goes on sale quite a bit on all platforms (Switch/PS/Xbox/PC/VR), and with cross-platform multiplayer, it might be worth picking up when it is. If you're into Tetris, I highly recommend TE. It's truly an EXPERIENCE! Also, it's very accommodating to all skill levels, with modes where you won't game over when tetriminos reach the top of the matrix. TE is truly my dream puzzle game. I'm a huge fan of Nintendo's bit Generations (JPN only GBA) / Art Style games (DSiware/WiiWare) and I've always thought it would be cool if someone made a puzzle game that had over-the-top trippy/chill/relaxing music and atmosphere, and was just Tetris, because why not? The closest that came to this I felt was LUMINES and I've always thought it'd be cool if they took this concept and made it Tetris. I still can't believe my dream puzzle game got made. Of course, it's from the guy behind LUMINES. Now don't get me started on the music in this game, but damn, it's so good (My fav. has to be "You and I" A.K.A. the Dolphin Surf stage)! *Full OTS Here* Oh...Sorry for gushing so much about TE. ...But yeah... If you're into Tetris (regardless of your skill level), I'd highly recommend picking up TETRIS EFFECT when it's on sale.

  5. Damn, this was unexpected. He was responsible for a lot of our childhoods. R.I.P. to a legend. *I know it's not one of his works, but it's fitting (anime wise)*
  6. I picked this up the other day at my local bookstore... *see tweet (X post) below* I noticed this at the front counter and picked it up just to take a quick look. When I did, the lady at the counter told me it was the last copy they had left. Since it was the last one they had in stock and since it just so happened to be the cover with my favorite PKMN on it (See all 4 covers HERE), I had to get it. This was put out to celebrate 25yrs since Pokémon hit NA. It's a huge nostalgia rush reliving the PKMN craze of the 90's. If you were one of these PokéCrazed 90's kids and/or a PokéFan you might want to pick up a copy (it's a good lengthy read), especially since it would make a great coffee table book, or I guess I should say, "magazine". Hopefully scalpers aren't having a field day with these. *I didn't even realize the tile of this month's chat thread when tying this. I'd consider myself more of a casual Pokémon fan nowadays. I was super into the whole PKMN craze of the 90's and and fell out of it after G & S on GBC. It wasn't until the whole 25th Anniversary and the release of Pokémon GO (I still play regularly) that stared to get me interested in PKMN again. I still haven't bought or really played a mainline game since G & S released back in the day (Not including getting Blue Version on the 3DS VC).
  7. So... What are we playing exactly? Oh, I actually just cut out the number from your thumbnail, since I was mainly just using it to get the size for the thumbnail. *BTW, dId you save the thumbnail as a PNG? Just wondering if this is a YT compression thing with thumbnails or not, because the glow makes the text in the Party Game Night logo look soft (a little blurry in Ninfora). It's not a big deal though. I was just curious.
  8. New Splatfest announced... OK... I think it's obvious what team I have to go with, since... <- Not me, BTW... But, yes, I can do the stick spin thing, if you're wondering. LOL! *I started playing drums in band in the 5th grade. I continued playing in middle school, and in high school I was in concert band (your standard band class) / marching band (was on the drumline). I can also play piano, though only one handed (This is from learning mallet instruments as a percussionist in band in MS & HS) First I get to rep aliens in a Splatfest and now I get to rep drummers?!!! 🤯 I see what you're doing, Nintendo.
  9. @TKrazyO Now that I see the Party Game Night logo used in a thumbnail, I'm not sure if it works that well (maybe it just needs some drop shadow?). 🤔 I thought maybe a template (similar to the MK8D TNT one) might work better, so I came up with this... Feel free to use it... Or not. Template: Examples:
  10. Well, that was pretty much what I expected... Mainly just content updates for their mobile games. That TCG Pocket app looks cool, but I IDK how I feel about spending $ to just digitally collect PKMN cards (you get 2 free packs a day, which is nice). Sure you can battle, but it's supper watered down. I assume that's because of their other TGC app they have were you can fully battle people online and get cards from physical booster packs you buy in-game at no extra cost. Speaking of that, I wonder if they will also do this with physical booster packs for PKMN TGC Pocket EDIT: Rewatching the TGC Pocket trailer, it looks like you can battle and trade online...? It could be really fun collecting cards and trading with everyone on N4A.
  11. I got to try the Vision Pro today and it's a cool piece of tech (especially the eye tracking), but diffidently not worth the $3,500 starting price. Especially since the Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro can do most of what it can at a fraction of the price . Plus, need I mention it has actual controllers for VR gaming!? One thing I do really like about the AVP, is that knit head strap (so comfy, though it might could benefit from a top strap, mostly for longer sessions when using headset). While for me, the AVP did feel a tiny bit heavy, it still felt a bit lighter than my Quest 2 (better weight distribution and being thinner, I guess?). Most of the weight of the Quest 2 sat right on my cheekbones (OUCH!), which is why I had to ditch the stock fabric strap and get the official elite head strap (I wanted to get the one with a built-in battery pack, but it was a bit pricey). BTW, I saw a post on reddit where someone 3D print some adapters to use the APV knit strap on the Quest 3, which looked super comfy. Speaking of the Quest 3, I kind of want to get it since it has better lenses, a better screen, better FOV than the Quest 2 (it's also a bit slimmer), but IDK if it's worth the $500 upgrade just to mainly see things clearer + also get a slight comfort and FOV upgrade (I'm not really interested in the color passthrough/mixed reality stuff). Plus, I’d have to buy a new elite strap as well, since the one for the Quest 2 isn’t compatible. If you're wondering... Yes, I've tried the Quest 3.
  12. Just play it using your phone and Google Translate (via the camera translate feature).
  13. 👀 *obviously this doesn't mean a localization* So, we technically now have Rare Replay on Switch (Including other Rare games already on NSO)... That Killer Instinct theme! ❤
  14. Pretty good Direct. Some good stuff, but nothing super amazing announced. - I was hoping we'd get a release for that F2P Pac-Man game that's supposed to launch early this year (It will probably be just a PR, with a launch trailer). - Nice to see Game Freak's Pocket Card Jockey on Switch (glad this was just a timed exclusive on Apple Arcade). That game is surprisingly really fun! - Cool to see MH: Stories on Switch with voice acting. I wonder if it will support the amiibo they made for it and if they will do reprints of said amiibo? - New Monkey Ball looks cool, especially the 16 player online. Though, that Sonic-style spin dash looks kind of cheap/game breaking? Hopefully it's not. - Cool to see Epic Mickey being remastered. The first game is actually pretty good. I wonder if it will have Wii pointer controls? - New World of Goo looks great! Cool that it has co-op and that it's an exclusive for Switch (for now anyway). Nice to see it sill has Wii pointer controls (IIRC, isn't the first game on Switch with pointer controls?) - Nice to see a new Fantasy Life (why do I feel like we already knew about this? It's probably just me). I know people really like the first game on 3DS. - Nice to see Rare dropping so many games on NSO. I guess we technically now have Rare Replay on Switch (including other Rare games already on NSO). BTW, good choice with using the Killer Instinct theme for that reveal. Mmm... SOOO GOOD! - Interesting to see a new Endless Ocean game. Odd that they'd bring back this game, over of new entries in other series Nintendo fans have be constantly asking for (I assume any bing IPs in the works are for Switch 2). Yeah... I know it's not developed by Nintendo (only published), IIRC AKIRA, who Nintendo have worked with multiple times in the past on various first party IPs, mainly downloadable stuff. I totally get the appeal of super overly chill/relaxing games, but I never got in to any of the EO games on WIi.
  15. Hmmm... I'm not sure what they could announce for PKMN Day that would warrant a PKMN Presents, because usually they just announce their PKMN Day plans via a PR. 🤔 Though, WHAT IF?.... *Yeah.. It most likely won't happen, especially since we'll have just had a Nintendo DIrect*
  16. The trailer for X-Men '97 has dropped... This looks pretty cool! Though, IDK if it's just me, but some of the animation seems a bit off at certain spots. Anyway, the original 90's cartoon is great (I also like X-Men Evolution, but it's not as good) and I'd highly recommend watching that before this, because '97 picks up where it left off. I remember my Dad would always watch the 90's X-Men cartoon and the 90's Spider-Man cartoon on Saturday mornings, when I was a kid (he used to be into comics back then, like my uncle, who still is). *Bit of a SPOILER WARNING if you haven't see all of the 90's X-Men cartoon (mainly the ending)*
  17. This has been popping up quite a bit lately on my electronic station on Pandora (I have it set up by genres)... I feel like I'm one of the few that still use Pandora over Spotify, YT Music, etc. I like it, because I put it on and it just plays what I like without me having to thinking about it. Also, it's fantastic for discovering new music/artists. There are a few I would have never gotten into if it weren't for Pandora. *BTW, if anyone is into EDM, I'd highly recommend checking out Digitally Imported (DI.FM Radio). They have genres upon subgenres and you can listen for free on web/mobile app. Gotta love it when deadmau5 and Kaskade team up (Kx5).
  18. Damn this really sucks... F.U. SONY!!! TBH, I thought the Funi app as shutdown back when merged all of its library was with CR. With the website shutting down along with the app I assume Funimation the company is fully being absorbed in to Crunchyroll...? BTW, what's going to happen to Funi content on other streaming services (dub/sub)? Will it all eventually be removed and exclusive to CR? ...On top of all of this, Sony is jacking up the price of CR to $99.99 a year. Can't wait for all the mass CR sub cancellations and increase in pirating of anime. 🙃 I'm really dreading this all digital future that's looming, where you own nothing you paid for and it can all be taken away from you at any moment. *sigh* R.I.P Funi!
