I mean, the expansion pak was an absolutely trivial bit of RAM. It shouldn't be hard to emulate. Then again, they emulated Zelda just fine on the Gamecube and Wii so that shouldn't have been hard to emulate either.

Majora's a more graphically intensive game than Ocarina, and we all saw how poorly that game got emulated for the Switch.

Maybe they can surprise us and show that they've learned from that debacle, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't know why everyone is making such a big deal of the Mario movie. For adults its going to be another shitty not-Pixar film (and even Pixar's stuff these days...) and for kids just another animated film. There's also already lots of Mario games for the Switch that Nintendo can push with this. And most shittily of all, this is a "for everyone" film and thus only the crappiest, most generic of NSMBses are going to come out of any film/game tie-in. So thats my prediction, you get a new NSMB out of it, one either entirely devoid of gimmicks or who's gimmick is that its a movie tie-in. Expect that one film guy on the Nintendo steering committee to be claiming credit for it. Oh, and expect this to be why EPD 10 hasn't made a lot of Mario Maker 2 DLC, too busy with this and might have even banked it a year ago during the pandemic.

I know it probably will be shitty but it's probably the best chance to get physical collections of a ton of stuff. Because cash grab movies always have boatloads of product tie-ins.

Getting an official physical release of Wrecking Crew '98 in the west would be nice. But granted the older mario games don't mesh stylistically with the cleaner sanitized mario style that all the modern games post N64 took.
 
Your glasses are way past rose tinted if you think thats whats coming out because of the movie. It will be SMB and only SMB for twenty dollars and consoomers will buy it up.
 
All what's happening is Nintendo is trying to ride the wave from the next Sonic movie. It's not like that the corresponding game will be as great as Oddesy was.
 
The cycle is reversed. The game doesn't come out based on the movie. The movie comes out based on the game.

Did you see the Mario LEGO sets? FUGGG

Yeah the lego mario sets are ugly because they're not made like traditional lego tie-in sets and have weird gimmick shit.

The question mark cube is probably the best overall set but they inflated the parts count due to all the hundreds of flat fucking pieces because retarded people are afraid of seeing lego studs on things and reminding them what these sets really are.

Wrong as usual.

I mean, he's half-right. Those flat pieces have been around singe the 80s/90s but Lego does really inflate the piece counts on their adult sets because just building four lego walls out of 4x2s is considered boring by Lego maniacs. Thats a plus, though, its so the builds are interesting for the builders. Same reason they include a different build of Christmas tree in all of their many, many holiday sets.
 
So, those of you who remember my review of Fenyx Rising might also remember that I brought Assassin's Cred III, Lego City: Undercover and SMT V at the same time. And I've spent the past two months playing one of them on and off. So here it is my review of dun, dunn, dunnnnn Lego City!

Pitched nearly a decade ago as babby's first GTA, Lego City takes the popular, though somewhat disliked by myself, TT Lego game formula and messily lays it over an open world, switching between camera and gameplay styles with all the grace of a Lego man in a gorilla suit (which you can choose to be if you so desire.) So the game has about fifteen to twenty missions, and you unlock powers/costumes over the course of them, which you can switch between at any time in order to complete challenges like puttting out fires as a fireman or riding pigs as a farmer. There is some marginally funny humor to be found in the game's missions, including one particular joke about a horse and an apple that had me laughing out loud in real life, but the lack of things like an in-game radio or more pedestrian banter leave more to be desired.

Thats all well and good but whereas GTA unlocks almost everything in the first island, Lego City unlocks all three islands within the first three missions while you don't get all of your powers until the very last mission. As an open world game you should be mixing "just fucking around" with doing missions but the unlock structure makes going for completion harder because you'll complete a challenge only to find that the reward is something that you can't do yet or a character you can't unlock yet. And its an artificial restriction too, since almost all powers are just a contextual button press of A- a bad form of gating. You can cheese some of those though, and pretty much owe it to yourself to engage in such emergent gameplay/sequence breaking. Nonetheless, the gating makes clearing areas on the map of objectives very obnoxious. Almost as obnoxious as the game's many bugs and crashes. And its loading screens, damn those minute long loading screens. Why does a ten year old game from a previous gen console that doesn't even look all that nice need a minute to load up? Beats me, apparently it was even worse on Wii U though.

Despite the frustrations and the at times amateurish presentation of the world (is it just me or are half the NPCs you see on the street are cops in certain places or the same one dude C/Ped over and over again in others) I did play it to the end and easily got my dollar per hour in and then some. I would definitely be up for a sequel too to learn what TT Fusion have learned from making it, but 9 years later that just doesn't seem to be in the cards, instead they're doing Star Wars again.

I rate the game a 1 out of 2 (buy it if you want to.)
 
I had Lego City on Wii U and it was great. Picked it up on Steam for five bucks and it was just as fun but with better load times.

But enough about that! How bad is Majora's Mask?? I will start it and find out.
 
I played Majora's Mask up until I got the Bomber's Notebook and saved. Seems fine so far. But then again I'm not a picky faggot that complains about autistic emulation shit.
