Having made it up to beating Wattson with a Ditto and a Tentacool I found by accidentally walking through the boundaries of cycling road, I can confirm this hack may be the most Emerald hack of all time

Fossilized_Nerd's review of Mario & Luigi: Brothership | Backloggd

I've been playing this series since its inception, and nearly entirely by accident. I ended up trading away a copy of Pokémon Diamond to a friend in exchange for Crystal and M&L: Superstar Saga, a...

At last, I'm done Brothership. This game got shockingly hard compared to the rest of the series in its mandatory sections, usually they reserve the hard content for optional side modes with hefty rewards attached... but either way, a quite good game. It does overdue backtracking though lol

OOOOOKAY I was very wrong lmao I forgot the classic "collect x maguffins" quest these games always have... but my goodness what a shift

I've seen an enormous amount of takes on the OOT style and as a whole I don't really know if I dislike it or like it, but I'll definitely give the team that it is DISTINCT and hyper-detailed. I firmly agree with the person I reposted earlier that they're aiming for Rococo... for better AND worse lol

This isn't a controversy, it's a moral barrier to entry. Either you tell Sega it's ok to use GenAI by purchasing this even if they removed it following backlash, or you don't buy the game and Sega's shareholders somehow conclude CT is not a popular series anymore if they're able to ignore the outcry

On one hand, Professor Layton x Ace Attorney has been a shockingly enjoyable game for how much flack I see it get from the fans of both, and I've had a wonderful time engrossed in both series' elements. On the other, I just met 2 witnesses who simp over a third and enjoy her stepping on them...

Since I'm still on vacation for a few I had the time to start Mario and Luigi Brothership after it sat in my library for a while there... It's good so far! It feels, uh, floppy? at times. The load time and frame issues are noticeable which is sad but the charm is certainly here still
