Nintendo Gaming / Re: Will you be willing to buy Virtual Game Cards, or would go all digital instead?

« on: May 27, 2025, 03:34:50 AM »

I began migrating to digital a few years into the Switch life and honestly, I'm happy with it. I adore physical media but these new ones just don't feel the same as this nice old bulky carts. And digital is way more convenient for me these days. I have also decided I don't give a crap about the "ownership" and availability because there are some wonderful fans who make a job out of "archiving" old games so I really believe I'll be able to find nearly anything I would want by sailing the high seas and modifying my older consoles. I've already done it on Wii and 3DS, so that is always an option for me to find the older stuff.

So yeah, I registered to buy the Mario Kart Digital Switch 2 system and expect to get everything digitally.

Any chance you could just copy my 2024 list since I said I may as well do that and then promptly forgot to post a new list?

Half tempted to copy most of my 2024 since a lot of it was tied to Switch 2...

What in the world do you mean by the Minecraft and Harry Potter creator? Is that some sort of inside joke for Hatsune Miku fans?

I had no idea they were splitting the season and was shocked it stopped after episode 3. Granted its another week or two for the next set to come, but come on. It was very intense, but also could feel it either teasing things those more involved with the game lore would get excited over or teasing future spinoffs already.

Probably for the best. I know the cast in the game is quite large and diverse so allowing us to get stories focused on more heroes would be great so long as they maintain the level of storytelling in this first run.

Its the Core theme a lot of the die hard members used. Guess its bugged.

Go to this link, if it is blank ass ;wap2 at the end of the url. Select the default theme and when the next page loads blank add ;wap2 again and it should work. Its why I'm back here **** posting once again finally.

I mean Mahershala is out as Blade now apparently so seems even more possible that Snipes could come back in some capacity again.

Well I finally learned how to fix it.

There's an issue with the core theme.
There's a fix but I have to dig it up.
See if this works. https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?action=theme;sa=pick;u=5670;a3580c711b49=da43dec706272d1e4b44c456e2bf691a

Just use it to change your theme to the default theme.
You may have to add ;wap2 at the end of the url if you get a blank page when you select the default theme to force the site to display its shitty mobile site, otherwise once you pick it click the option to change your profile options.

After adding that ";wap2" to each page I finally got it to load for the first time in months.

I was blown away by how good Arcane was. I've dabbled in the game with some college friends years ago but understood very little outside of the basic gameplay. So all the lore was new to me. Season 2 is coming in a few weeks and its going to be the last one. While these shorter series can be nice, I do wish a few would last longer than 2-3 seasons. But then again the few that do last longer tend to fall apart before the end if they even do end so I guess I should be happy to get something fantastic and short over 5-10 seasons of mediocre slop that overstays its welcome.

I'll definitely write it up later when I have time and the site feels more stable. It erased everything when I was forced to refresh to next time I'll have to write it in Word or something.

Doesn't have to be based off a previous post here. The AIs powering all this stuff has whole libraries of information and user comments that it could still be a bot. I work with AIs often now and sometimes I forget I'm chatting with a bot in the middle of working on solutions.

I ran their comments through some AI detection tools and they think it is 100% human generated, but those tools can be wildly inaccurate.

I found them to be manageable so long as you only played on smaller maps. Medium and up all made the poor little console struggle to keep up.

I'm still balking a bit at RDJ as Doom. I don't doubt he can do a great job and will be phenomenal in the role on its own, but its the baggage about him being a variant or something else that worries me more. There is enough going on I had kind of hoped the forced pivot away from Kang would inject some freshness into the MCU that didn't have the sag of pretty much everything from Phase 4.

Which was it? This is the spoiler thread so its all fair game.

Finally got around to watching Deadpool 2 and knowing how 3 starts it kind of took the wind out of a lot of it. Was still neat but just rings a bit different when taken with 3.

Damn, I entered this thread and read the old messages from 2010 not realizing they were old and thought that they prices had bottomed out on adapters based off Mop it up's prices.

I've heard the used/retro games market has bottomed out a bit as folks that caught the fever during the pandemic (or trying to make a quick buck) have started cashing out so maybe these could drop a bit in the future?

Would love to hear your thoughts on the other SW ports, by Aspyr and others. May be worth a dedicated article to give a rundown with links to the various reviews already written? I've nabbed a few of them but truthfully I never played much of them individually. I was more grabbing them for the nostalgia and a vague hope it would encourage more titles from the past LucasArts era or even new games in a similar vein.

I knew about the issues surrounding KOTOR 2, but thought the others seemed decent enough for what they were. I played the re-released Outcast, Academy, and Podracer to my recollection. Are they all really viewed that poorly?

« on: March 22, 2024, 06:50:10 PM »

Oh boy! I had a lot of fun ideas as a kid about horror versions of Childrens shows. One of my best I thought was a Gritty "reboot" game for Dragon Tales, where the original children, now grown up, return to their childhood home to clean up after their elderly parents pass away. They find the old dragon scale and laugh about their imaginative world as kids and repeat the phase and get transported back to Dragon Land, which was real it turns out. Only its this dark barren wasteland because it turns out they were key to keeping the place happy as kids. They go on a journey to try and restore the world and run into rabid and insane versions of their old dragon friends. You could choose to spare and restore your dragon friends or slay them, and along the way you faced challenges that were metaphors for various traumas and experiences they faced growing up in real life and it would be revealed the land became a channel for them to store their trauma and that was why the land was poisoned. So it would have been like a dark and twisted version of Links Awakening and American McGhee's Alice mixed together.

I might check this out if reviews are favorable. Like you I can be a sucker for good corny B horror flicks.

I mean Engage was developed in tandem with 3 Houses and was intentionally following a different path. People think Engage was supposed to release a few years back but Covid really did a number on Nintendo with their backwards processes involving security and working in person.

Willing to bet the next original game will be quite different from Engage. Maybe even the next remake (please give us more, I really want 4, 5, & 6 in a console-level Echoes style).

Dare I ask how expensive they are now? I still hope to buy some down the road. Kicking myself for not buying even one of the 4 that were sitting in a Frys years ago. Even when there was one left for $40 I had just gotten 4 complete Wavebirds and thought for sure I could get the broadband adapters later for a reasonable price.

I'm also thankful that I snagged a Gamecube player during the pandemic. It was Japanese, but I realized that I could buy a whole new Japan Gamecube, controller, and full Gameboy player for the cost of the US disc alone.
