I last wrote about the Achievement situation over 8 years ago and while I’d love to say I’m surprised it’s still as bad as it is, I’m unfortunately not. Just disappointed. The short version of this is that Gameplay shouldn’t be locked by Achievement progress. If you have a mode that is unattainable or near… Read More
In general, I went in expecting nothing so I expected to either be pleasantly surprised or okay with whatever was shown–maybe some things would excite me, but I wouldn’t end up upset or frustrated or disappointed. AND YET SOMEHOW THAT HAPPENED ANYWAY… Before I get to that though, you can check out the Nintendo Direct… Read More
This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately between things like competitive Pokemon, Fire Emblem Heroes Stat/IV Calculators, and a lot of debate on things as simple as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I’ve always been a bit odd in the sense that I am constantly kind of at both sides of a place.… Read More
As per usual with these, I will mostly be talking about things that caught my own attention and my opinions on that versus reporting everything :) If you haven’t watched the presentation yet, I highly recommend doing so. I already made sure to preorder the Nintendo Switch myself (though, I am still hoping the colored… Read More
As a completionist, most people assume I generally do not have a problem with how achievements tend to work in gaming, but that’s not entirely true. I think when it comes down to it, I had a lot more fun when games were “simpler” and didn’t feature all these excessive requirements to get certain things.… Read More
To start, I will say I like this DLC more than the first set. The first set wasn’t bad at all, but I just didn’t enjoy it as much. Wario’s Gold Mine being remade is nice and I think Dragon Driftway is really cool, but the only course I really loved was Hyrule Circuit. I… Read More
Mario Kart 8 is the newest (and 8th if you couldn’t guess, minus the Arcade versions) installment of the Mario Kart series. It brings quite a bit of new stuff while still retaining many old features. While the courses are fun to race on, I feel that’s the main thing the game has going for… Read More
So, Mario Kart 8 came out in North America today! I’ve been enjoying the courses a lot, though, my index finger hurts from how much drifting is required (how much I suck at said drifting doesn’t help). I won’t talk too much about issues though as I do plan to write a review sometime soon… Read More
So, I will admit I wasn’t too hyped up about Mario Kart 8. I had been disappointed with 7 and hadn’t truly enjoyed a Mario Kart in a while (My favorite things with Mario Kart for the Wii were the special downloaded course tournaments each week–I do hope those make a comeback in this game),… Read More
Recently, a new Mario Kart 8 trailer came out which shows some of the new courses and items. The items seem interesting enough, but I am mostly really excited about the courses. I love seeing the remakes (MOO MOO FARM–I have the theme for that course on my playlist) and it’s actually gotten me a… Read More
