I got a hotter take... I have never played the Prime series.I've tried to play Metroid Prime at least three separate times and could never finish a single playthrough
How's that for a hot take

I've been playing Halo, and it's rare I adore a multiplayer game this much... which made me want to return to Splatoon 2.
Here's how it went.
Launches Game
Checks hours played, how is it only 35?!
Checks release date, this game is almost 5 years old?
Damn, this still looks so good. I have to play it more.
Salmon run is up, my fave mode, and with a new equipment piece I don't have!
Joins match, team is wonderful, we kick ass
Completes match – ah I love this game
Maps and modes have changed!
Nervous laugh
Yep, salmon run is offline
riiiiiight, this is what pissed me off
It's pretty funny though, because Halo's matchmaking is also shit lol
I'm locked to one map per session (if it's even open)
Difficulty curve is very weird since it's randomly generated and locked to three waves
Specials and team comp of weapons are randomly assigned
Me too. For some reason I thought you had to use a Master Ball for Mewtwo. I didn't even try to catch it normally, I threw the Master Ball immediately.Today I realized I have used a Master Ball exactly once in my entire life: to catch Mewtwo in Pokemon Red back in 1998.
While I'm not sure about the usage of "take" here, know that you are not alone.I got a hotter take... I have never played the Prime series.
yeah, I too have never played the Prime gamesWhile I'm not sure about the usage of "take" here, know that you are not alone.
Kirby ATFL file size is 5.8 GB. In comparison, Star Allies is 2.8 GB. A little bit more than double could mean that the game is packed with loads of content.
Wow, you never played Nintendo's best game?I got a hotter take... I have never played the Prime series.
but he hasn't even mentioned Pikmin 3Wow, you never played Nintendo's best game?
I knew I was gonna like youTake hotter than hellfire: super Mario sunshine is better than galaxy
I decided to help out my favorite honorary member of Team January and fixed that for you buddy.but he hasn't even mentioned Hey! Pikmin for the Nintendo 3DS, the Nintendo 3DS XL, the iQue 3DS XL, the Nintendo 2DS, the New Nintendo 3DS, the New Nintendo 3DS XL, AND the New Nintendo 2DS XL.
ah yes, I meant to say Pikmin 3DS, my mistakeI decided to help out my favorite honorary member of Team January and fixed that for you buddy.
Mentioning the 8/10 thing reminded me of a story. Back in the day, when I was [AGE REDACTED], I was so angry about GameSpot's 8.8/10 review of Twilight Princess. I hadn't even played the game yet as it wasn't out, but I was furious. How DARE they!?!?!? Then I played the game, and I gotta say, it's definitely in my top six 3D Zelda games...My Nintendo opinions are for the most part pretty standard and boring, there's popular IPs I don't like but within the context of a certain series I don't have many real "Ocarina Of Time is hot trash and the best Zelda game is Phantom Hourglass" tier takes I can think of
Like I think BOTW is a solid 8 and not some lifechanging game but I don't think that's enough to put me in Nintendo jail
8.8 is really fascinating as a microcosm of both hype culture and all the problems with how game journalism is approached. The hype for Twilight Princess was obscene and off the charts after so many years of delays, probably one of the most hyped games of the decade, and it was perceived as the game that would "right the ship" for 3D Zelda since both Majora's Mask and Wind Waker had mixed reception among the fanbase at the time (both would be retroactively recognized as classics in their own right down the road, but that's another topic). A game scoring below a 9 was seen as an insult to what was supposed to be the true successor to Ocarina Of Time. People still get ornery over review scores but I don't think anything will ever match 8.8's reaction.Mentioning the 8/10 thing reminded me of a story.

What is your favorite Zelda out of curiosity? And if it's not 3D, then also what's your favorite 3D one?My Nintendo opinions are for the most part pretty standard and boring, there's popular IPs I don't like but within the context of a certain series I don't have many real "Ocarina Of Time is hot trash and the best Zelda game is Phantom Hourglass" tier takes I can think of

Majora’s Mask is my favorite Zelda, so to answer both of your questions, Majora’s Mask lolWhat is your favorite Zelda out of curiosity? And if it's not 3D, then also what's your favorite 3D one?
That's not a hot take, it's just trueTake hotter than hellfire: super Mario sunshine is better than galaxy
Just because you're a moderator doesn't mean you get to spread liesThat's not a hot take, it's just true
I feel like for me I am so picky about the media I consume it's very rare I am going to play/watch an outright disaster. Even most professionally made shows/movies/games have something of merit even if I strongly dislike almost every creative choice they make.Review scores are such a weird thing and part of why I don't like doing them myself is because of how differently people treat them. I like Edge's old scale which probably most closely resembles my own:
Sunshine and Twilight Princess are, to me, solid 7s but if I had to grade them within the context of how most review outlets rate their games I'd have to raise my scores by one or two points.
- disastrous
- appalling
- severely flawed
- disappointing
- average
- competent
- distinguished
- excellent
- astounding
- revolutionary

I kinda like a 3 scale. Just keep it simple: 3 = love, 2 = like, 1 = meh. With "meh" kinda being like, it's not an awful trainwreck, but ultimately I just come out kind of indifferent to it. There are games and shows I've put a lot of hours in where I definitely end up feeling "meh" at the end.
And like, there are degrees of love, but in terms of "how much do I recommend this product," to me an 8.5 and a 10 are basically the same. Genuine, honest to god 10s are so rare, I feel.
Nintendo proving they still hate Europe by not allowing this outside North America.Go play Captain Toad, it's free for NSO members. End.
Yeah i know, and am from Europe myself. They also did this Captain Toad trial 2 years ago for Japan only. So what i did i claimed 7 day NSO trial on my US account and just playing it there, it works.Nintendo proving they still hate Europe by not allowing this outside North America.
In all seriousness though I think expansion pack subscribers should get a wider and more frequent selection of game trials. Have a 2 week game trial every month with 2 or 3 games available; just start doing something to add value to the subscription so that when the price is hiked again, at least there's more all round value to it.
This is very cool. I managed to get the right answer in six guesses.
Honestly, I expect Splatoon 3 to be a much larger jump than 1>2 was given the wait, and I hope they overhaul these systems. They've got a hit on their hands– not just a Nintendo hit, but an industry hit, if they can do it right.
I can't wait to see how they evolve Salmon Run and the Single player!!!
thatsbait.gifTake hotter than hellfire: super Mario sunshine is better than galaxy
we love all of the old Nintendo teams in different waysLet me drop a real hot take on you all: R&D1 was better than EAD
I don't actually believe this but R&D1 was pretty good, and I have a certain fondness for being the experimentational arm of the company
Yeah I just hope it’s done a bit differentlyLimited availability of maps and modes at any given time isn't going to go anywhere, so certainly don't set your hopes on that happening.
