Nintendo Gaming / Re: Xenoblade chronicles 3 music is sick

Is this forum being infected by AI accounts?

Definitely some kind of update on the spambot programming. They're now taking other posts in a topic and rewording them a bit to try and sound like an actual response and on topic. That said, there have been other spambots with on-topic posts before just not as wordy as these latest. I have to admire the chutzpah of the one spambot I banned yesterday. It made four posts but on the fourth one, it started off with "As someone who has been a regular poster here on Nintendo World Report". Although maybe four posts in one day does make someone a regular poster now...

Movies & TV / Re: I cast myself as Batman Characters
« on: May 01, 2023, 10:53:06 AM »
I like it. Some work better than others. Bane and Clayface, for instance, don't really show much for the face to make them recognizable. Likewise, while I can see your face a bit in Poison Ivy and Batgirl, Catwoman and Vicky Vale (I presume) seem like completely different faces / people. You've got a blend of Batman:TAS and 60's Batman going on with a bit of the movies and some of your own or comics inspiration like ManBat.

Is the older fellow by ManBat supposed to be Thomas Wayne? Also, in the group with Ra's and Talia, is that another Bruce Wayne? I take it the young girl in the last set of four could be Baby Doll from TAS but I might be wrong. I can place everything else but just wasn't sure about those three.

Miyamoto is the greatest videogame creator ever and after one movie he's easily on his way to being the greatest film producer ever as well!!! Hideo Kojima must be rolling over in his grave office! His cinematic endeavors can't compete with this.

I don't know why SE waited to release these on Switch instead of doing so at the same time they put them on mobile but maybe they had to put in a bit more work to make them look nicer for a TV screen vs a phone screen. I expected these to eventually come to Switch but it sure took longer than I thought. What's it been? Two years?

Now the Switch has FF 1 - 10 plus 12 and the chibi version of FF15. Thinking back 20 years ago in the middle of the GameCube era when it was frustrating that the main FF games were sticking to PS, a collection of FF games for a Nintendo system like this seemed like an impossible dream unless Nintendo brought some sacks of cash to SE. Well, Nintendo kept the sacks of cash and they got the games after all. Patience pays off again! Good things (and also some lackluster FF games) come to those who wait. :smug:

TalkBack / Re: E3 2023 Officially Cancelled

I did enjoy the hype and memes that could come from E3 but, without it around, I've realized that what I really appreciated about E3 was just that it was reliable date for gaming news announcements. It was a date you could mark on the calendar and know the industry was going to showcase a bunch of stuff. Now you have people begging for a Nintendo Direct every week because no one knows when the next one will be.

Whelp. Another month of waiting for DK64 to be announced....

I think it is great the ... SNES NSO apps are still getting some new games added.

Well, I know Nintendo is still holding back a really big SNES game that still has yet to hit the service.

Yoshi's Cookie.

Oh, and Super Mario RPG but no one seems to remember that old game.

9
I remember saying "wow" when entering Skytown and Valhalla for the first time.

Mission Accomplished!

I'm here for Kirby and Burger Time Deluxe. Way back when I did my thread on Best of the 3DS Shop: Game Boy VC, Burger Time got a couple recommendations. It's been on my 3DS wishlist for a few years and now I don't need to purchase it before the 3DS eShop closes. What a time to be alive!

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What's Next For The N64 Expansion Pack?
« on: March 07, 2023, 05:44:24 PM »
Aw phooey, there wasn't one in February either! I guess since they added the GBA section, they figured that was enough for the month. Seeing as they're adding a GBA game in early March, hopefully there will be an N64 release later this month.

I'm wondering if Nintendo realized they were soon going to run out of N64 releases on their end so they added the GB/GBA stuff to give them some games they can keep announcing to the online services rather than have it seem like the well had run dry on the service.

14
Man, this is terrible! WarioWare, Minish Cap, Super Circuit and Metroid Fusion will be on this app and Nintendo showed F:Zero Maximum Velocity as a game soon to be released on it as well. That's half the Ambassador games for the 3DS now available on the Switch Advance app! All the NES ambassador games have been available for a long time now as well. At this point, I'm really beginning to question why I bought a 3DS at launch....

For the first time, a PS5 game finally takes the number one spot on the Media Crate sales chart.

It's game over for Nintendo now. Switch is doomed just like everyone said.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What will Nintendo release in 2023?
« on: February 08, 2023, 09:12:48 PM »
All in all, an alright Direct. It really did focus on things we already knew though so there wasn't much surprise on the Nintendo side. All the new stuff really seemed to come from third parties. My quick review. For Nintendo:

Pikmin 4 looks like... more pikmin. Obviously, there's a few new wrinkles to mix things up a bit but overall it just seemed to be the usual knocking down walls and navigating terrain and overwhelming enemies to acquire treasures. I'm not sure it will win over any new fans from those who may have tried a Pikmin game before but not really cared for it but it should be comfort food for those who've enjoyed the previous games.

Xenoblade Expansion - Not sure if the ties to XC1 were spoiler-y for XC3 or only just related to this expansion wave but it got me to remember XC3 exists and become a bit more interested in working towards playing this title.

Splatoon 3 - Was this DLC news? I don't follow Splatoon enough closely to know or remember. I guess it would have made sense to guess this considering Splatoon 2 had DLC but then that got added to the Expansion Pak which made me think that maybe the Splatoon 2 DLC just hadn't been that popular and sold much when it came out so Nintendo lumped into give the Expansion the impression of more value. If it didn't sell well, makes me surprised there was DLC for Splat3.

FE Engage DLC - Then again, it seems like games never end. They just keep getting DLC added to them. By this point, I was longing for the SNES - GC days when games were released and that was it. The whole thing in one package. No trying to continuously add small bits of things to games to keep gamers playing the same title for so long instead of letting them move on to other things.

Cereza - Had no plans to get this so and the trailer didn't do anything to change my mind. To me, the idea of not being able to attack an enemy but only bind them in order to let the CPU character attack them does not sound that fun to me. Like co-op but you're not the main character. You're the one holding the bucket in Crystal Chronicles. (I've never played FF:CC so I'm just talking out my butt on that reference.)

Advance Wars - Still wasn't sure if this would come out with the Russia/Ukraine war still happening and now China/Taiwan tensions increasing. People happily going at war just gives off a weird vibe so I left it off my guesses since it seemed like a coin flip as to its release. That said, I really do love the animation and job done by Wayforward in the clips for it. Almost tempts me to double dip. But having finally completed the story of the first game a couple years ago, I know the story ain't great unless this version completely redoes it and the battles lose appeal after awhile, at least they seem to for me. Last battle was a long slog in the first one. Still, I'd watch an animated series or movie for Advance Wars based on the animation for this game.

Kirby Return to Dreamland Deluxe - It's nice that HAL showed how they are making the game Deluxe by highlighting the additional content being added. But nothing that would make me feel like double dipping on this title as I still have easy access to my Wii original copy. Unless the price is right at low cost like $15 - 20 then I'm probably not going to bother.

Metroid Prime Remastered - Same sentiment for this game. While MP1 is a big favorite of mine in the series, I'm still good with my GC copy. I played it through to completion on both normal and hard mode about 7 years ago and haven't had any hankering to replay it since then. While I suppose the updated graphics may be nice for some, the game looked wrong to me in the trailer because of them. ;D It felt almost a bit more cartoony now.

Mario Kart DLC - Definitely eager to try out the Yoshi's Island course. I guess I just like courses that use the theme of an actual game than an abstract original like Water Park or Mushroom Gorge. Sorry Mop it up. I never realized Birdo was missing as a playable character in the game until this announcement. Just thought she was already included.  :-[

Tears of the Kingdom - Really hoped there would be a bigger showing for this game to finally get the hype meter charging for this game but the bits they showed just left more confused as to how they worked or still in the dark about how this thing may end up playing. I guess I'm just coming to accept that this sequel probably isn't going to wow me like the original BotW. In the end, this is still the most wanted game I'm wanting from Nintendo based on what they've been showing so far. I just wish it didn't feel like it was this way by default.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What will Nintendo release in 2023?
« on: February 08, 2023, 08:34:31 PM »
Well, I'm glad Nintendo announced the Game Boy libraries coming to Switch. I was getting ready to take the chance to buy a bunch of those games off the 3DS and Wii U VC since I just wasn't sure if they were going to made available or not. Surprised that Link's Awakening DX is included with the Remaster of the game on Switch but I guess Nintendo figures it's not going to hurt sales of that game now. Still, might be some third party releases I should scoop up just in case. Never know how much third parties will go along with having their stuff added to these Apps.

Arghhh! At one point, in my list of predictions, I had Professor Layton returns from the dead. But then I thought, no, Layton's daughter was supposed to be the protagonist for a new game and frankly Level-5 seemed like it's been hurting financially and might not have the ability to invest in making a new game for the series so I passed on the idea and took it off my list. Oh, I wish I kept it. Madness Khushrenada would be laughing it up right now. Instead I've got Terranigma. What a dumb choice!

Meanwhile, the Metroid Prime 1 remasters and Baten Kaitos remasters did come true after all. Safe Khushrenada may end up kicking himself over not going with those choices and choosing a new MonolithSoft game reveal and Nintendo IP adaptation in other media as choices instead. I just began to doubt the legitimacy of the MP1 HD rumors after so long. Sort of like the DK game by EAD rumors that have never panned out into anything so far.

Madness Khushrenada (He’s making the predictions that no other “insiders” are making or talking about. He’s out on the edge all alone!!)

1. SNES Remix (a sequel to the NES Remix games) is released.

2. A Star Fox Mobile game is announced.

3. Fortune Street gets a new entry for the Switch.

4. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is re-released.

5. The Switch successor has a second screen on the controllers

6. Animal Crossing: Style Savvy (a mash-up). You work with the Mabel Sisters in helping create fashion for villagers and become the best boutique in town.

7. More third party talk. A Call of Duty game is revealed for the Switch (or its successor) as Microsoft tries to gain more leverage in acquiring Blizzard/Activision.

8. Even more Square madness. Square brings Terranigma to the Switch.

9. Even more third party talk. Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City get ports to the Switch (or its successor).

10. F-Zero shocks the world with a new game.

11. Everyone else’s predictions go to 10. Not Madness Khushrenada. His picks go to 11. They’re the maddest picks around. That madness also infects Square Enix and they shock the world by announcing Final Fantasy 17 will also be coming to a Nintendo system.

Bold Khushrenada (A little more spicy with a bit more detailed predictions)

1. Game Freak reveals a non-Pokemon IP game. It will release either this year or early next year.

2. Two new Nintendo IP’s are revealed with one released this year.

3. Ring Fit Adventure gets some additional content.

4. Another Game Console’s (i.e. Game Boy, Game Gear, Neo Geo, etc) games are added to the Expansion + subscription.

5. Yoshi’s Woolly World gets a Switch port.

6. A new Donkey Kong game is revealed. It will be scheduled to release in 2023 or 2024.

7. A Mario RPG is revealed. It will be scheduled to release in 2023 or 2024.

8. A Pushmo game is revealed and released.

You know what? It’s getting boring predicting the same Nintendo franchises over and over since we all know is going to continuously cycle through their IP. So screw Nintendo! Let’s talk third party!

9. Square ports over more Dragon Quest games (such as 4, 5, 6) to the Switch and announces Dragon Quest 12.

10. More Third Party talk. The Mass Effect Trilogy gets ported to the Switch. EA needs some cash!

Alright. The moment you've all been waiting for. The man who just can't stop correctly predicting things. I mean, just check out this gem from last year:

So, I guess it’s time to lay down the law once and for all over who’s the best prognosticator. I’ll show you how to be claim victory with Safe predictions … In the end, some form of Khushrenada will be victorious.

I correctly predicted the outcome of that thread even though I didn't seem to get credit for that prediction of winning.  >:(


Hmmm, this thread feels quieter than years past. Perhaps its because this time around people really don’t know what Nintendo might do as the long life of the Switch has made it harder to know whether they will keep riding this train or bring it to an end. Or perhaps it is because everyone was waiting for the master prognosticator, your pal, Big K, to put his cards on the table so that everyone can than copy and crib from them to try and scrounge a few correct predictions for their own gain.

So after posting this I realize that this thread is ostensibly for Khushrenada to post lists of movies.  :-[  Khush, feel free to move this post to another topic.

It's fine. I only said that since I felt I was likely the only one to do the most future posting in this thread and might as well use it like a sort of movie blog of my own or something. Nothing wrong with other users joining the discussion with films they've watched.

For a little bit smaller total of 123 films watched in 2022 compared to last year's total but higher than 2020's 114. Honestly still kind of shocked at learning about 2021's total of 141. Nearly had an average of a new movie every two days. I think that may be a record for me. It's weird because I also spent time in 2021 playing stuff like XCX for a large portion of time and Clubhouse Games. How did I find the time? I guess lockdowns were still keeping me to myself indoors more than I realized.

Imagine if I made a post for each of these in the Rate the Last Movie You Saw Thread. *shudders at the though of all that extra typing* Anyways, if anyone does want feedback or a quick review of a movie listed, make a post and I'll answer you on that.
