The single level gimmick thing has been around in most 2D Mario games at least since World. It’s part of the series identity at this point to slowly introduce new ideas at the start of the stage and ramp up the difficulty as it goes.
The light switch in World isn't that, though. It's just something stuck at the end of Bowser's Castle that really barely affects gameplay at all.

Another week, another Weekly Question! And boy, what a week we got coming up! Super Mario Bros. Wonder comes out in just a few days! But it's one game in a stacked month. Spider-Man 2 comes out the same day, we got a new 2D Sonic releasing on Tuesday, and lots more before and after them. What's your most anticipated game of the month?

If you have to ask me what my answer to that question is, you clearly don't know me well enough.
Obviously the same game as you. Can’t believe we’ll be able to play a brand new 2D Mario game in just five days. I feel like the week will be long. I think I may buy Spider-Man 2 in the future, but only when I can find it at like 20.- because it seems like the same game for a third (two and a half?) time.
 
Actually, hold the fucking press! You're telling me they have easy mode for platforming noobs like me?

Looking this over...would there be a reason to use Nabbit over Yoshi unless you prefer Nabbit as a character? It looks like Yoshi is simply better in terms of abilities. I haven't read/watched much about Super Mario Bros. Wonder since the Direct, so I could be forgetting or missing something.
 
I’m playing assassins creed mirage right now and I’m starting to realize I hate it’s combat system. I just think the game isn’t good. Do I feel bad for dropping a game I paid full price for?

what people don't understand about the general thread is that most of the time it is our twitter

hardware thread = "The switch 2 is going to use the T184 chip guys its going to be so powerful"
switch 2 thread = "The Next smash bros will have 50 new characters its going to be epic"
general thread = "hey guys look what I got from subway its so good"
 
Still not sure about Mario Wonder
so what you're saying is you wonder about Mario Wonder

what people don't understand about the general thread is that most of the time it is our twitter
how is that even remotely accurate when bigots actually get banned here
that's not a genuine argument against you, I'm shit-talking twitter (which actually would get me banned on twitter)

This is actually why I like it so much, lol. It’s basically like if Twitter were well-moderated, full of good and cool people, and a fun place to hang out and have a mix of news, shitposts, fun stuff, animals, and life updates (and in general leans heavily into video games and Nintendo in particular).

…so I guess almost nothing like Twitter, actually.

It's just like twitter except exactly the opposite :ROFLMAO:

Unless I miss something too (which wouldn’t surprise me at this point), I guess Nabbit is easy and Yoshi is even easier.
 
So I initially wanted to wait for the (hopefully) inevitable single player modes in F-Zero 99, since my NSO had run out a long time ago and I wasn't keen on resubbing.

But I am weak, and Nintendo knew it. So here we are.

I admit, i'm still confused about Yoshi in Wonder. Is he a "power-up" like in World? Or a character? And if he's a character, why can other players ride him, and does that literally mean to carry someone through a level?

Anyway, currently playing Sea of Stars ... and it's pretty fucking good.

Highly recommended.
 
I feel like I'm gonna get the most use out of Yoshi when I'm replaying levels for stuff I missed on the first time through. I do wish he had a "normal" mode though.

Is he easy in the Nabbit sense (actual easy character that cant get hurt) or more in the Toadette sense (character that has more mobility options/powerups and this makes them "better" and easier)?

I feel that if it's the first then it kinda sucks but if it's the second then you'd have to redesign levels around Yoshi's flutter and that's just not happening

The answer is "Yes." The Yoshis only take knockback from enemies/attacks, and they have the flutter jump plus the ability to eat and spit out enemies.

Almost done with RE 4 Remake. But here’s some thoughts so far.

They really streamlined the game. Cut sections or combined them. Very fascinating stuff when you’ve played the original as much as I have.

-The game feels smaller but in a way to make it use all of its space. Which is cool and makes sense, Original RE 4 is a big game to have had to remade.

- Ada voice acting performance is bad. It’s noticeable when she’s talking to anyone in the game. Can’t tell if it was recording circumstances or the voice actor. But she’s sticks out among the whole cast.

-Salazar is just a generic enemy in this. I mean he wasn’t much in the original game, but had more character then here. No goofy comebacks from Leon as well since Ramon is so Generic. His re-design is something I’m not a fan of either

-no two paths, something I thought they would cut. And I’m glad to say they pick the one that’s more interesting.

-the game is surprisingly less scary then the original. But I think for me it’s just cause I can move and shoot lol. Tank controls unintentional added more horror I feel. But also some scenes are played more actiony then the original horror aspect.

-they really streamlined the castle lol. So many parts cut out. Gatling gun, dragon head, Ramon statue (well kinda), broken butterfly. Fascinating stuff.

-Ashley part is better here I feel than the original. But that’s just me disliking Quick Time Event honestly.

- the Knife fight looked stupid lol.

-I didn’t like the new Cart section. But fascinating way to see how it changed from the original.

-I like the side quests added. Fun little things to add to the game. Risk vs reward.

-Leon still cool

Will add Final thoughts once completed.
 
Come on Nintendo, it's that time of the year. Where are the Nintendo Switch My Way ads? I need to be reminded that I don't have a family to play games with or a real house with a big kitchen to put my system in.

Still not sure if I’m grabbing wonder. Have an extra voucher due to planning to get Mario rpg but I’m not sure if I should use it on that or something else. Like I haven’t gotten pikmin 4 yet(cause I want to grab 1/2 first).

My Hobonichi One Piece order came in today!

Ordered a One Piece Techo, some Hobonichi papers and two One Piece notepads:


I also ordered with that the first manga season of One Piece in a beautiful boxset (I have no idea why I expected a manga, bought from a Japanese store, would be in English though lmao!):


And also in todat my Laban pen, a few bottles of ink and my leather pen holder came in:

Wonder. I want it to sell so well that we get people coming out with the hot takes that switch 2 will be delayed indefinitely because the sales momentum boost…and because 2D Mario is always amazing.
 
Nothing like stepping out of the gym in your workout clothes on a cool, fall day.
I know that feeling, earlier this morning I went out for a walk and it was a beautiful clear, cool day with a light breeze. Hard to believe that barely a month ago the temps were in the 110s.
