Donkey Kong Bananza must be what crack feels like

Square Enix: So you see, the lore we introduced in this discontinued mobile game and handheld prequel is integral to the overarching story. Atlus: Fuck you. We're never acknowledging anything that happens in the spin-offs.

Has anyone tried ripping off the Nemesis system to see if Warner Bros would care?

Fuse from Tears of the Kingdom almost makes Breath of the Wild feel like an imcomplete game. Like what was even the use for all those monster parts and item drops in that game?

The yellow heart emoji ⟨💛⟩ is mistakenly displayed as a pink "hairy heart" ⟨a pink heart symbol with marks representing short hair.⟩ in Google's Android 4.4 mobile operating system (released 2013) because Google's emoji art team misinterpreted the dots in Unicode's black-and-white reference images ⟨Heart symbol with dots.⟩ as being hair stubble. In reality, the dotted pattern is simply used as a colorless way to represent the color yellow (in accordance with heraldic hatching).

I have to wonder if the final boss of Persona 3 Portable is actually hard if they didn't grind up to level 90 to be able to fuse Messiah

We don't really know what the gameplay proposed was like. But Davide Soliani did do a good job with Mario+ Rabbids

There's inevitably going to be controversy if Nintendo remakes the Oracle duology as 2 games you need to buy separately.

I wonder if the Switch 2 will get an original 2D or open air Zelda first. Could go either way depending on the development timelines.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Some remakes are definitely replacements to the original. Not in terms of availability because game preservation and choice is important. But if you've played the new version, there's not much of a reasom to go back to the old one unless you're really curious.

Healthy mindset to acknowledge when a series is doing well even if it's not appealing to you personally

Nintendo fans act like Miyamoto is in charge of game development and not Shinya Takahashi and Yoshiaki Koizumi.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Why was it called Definitive Edition, anyway? I thought we reserved that term for releases of games that included the DLC.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I can see why some people say Persona fans "LARP" the series since I see some tweets complaining about stuff like like fanservice and hot springs scenes. It's an anime game aimed at teenage boys, what did they expect? The first scene of P4 is Rise in a bikini.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
There's really no pleasing every party with game remakes because if it's a faithful recreation, people will complain that it's trying to replace the original and nitpick the smallest details. If they do their own thing, another group will say they just wanted the old game with updated presentation.

Ocarina of Time remake is gonna be capped at a 9/10 at best unless they add significant new content like the Light Temple.

idk why but I'm a big fan of Nintendo's "+" box art format

Sometimes it's better to enjoy things without caring about what the "fanbase" thinks

In hindsight, they should've just called this game Xenoblade Chronicles Remastered so we don't get this stupid title on Switch 2. Or even Xenoblade Chronicles + Future Connected, like 3D World + Bowser's Fury.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Big fan of Xenoblade Kart because it showed that Monolith didn't purposely make it so slow to go around the world. It's literally a matter of not having the horsepower for mounts.

Somebody needs to go an playest these control schemes. These are things that can be fixed with a basic update. Just have horse whistling replace the unnecessary amiibo icon on the ability wheel.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Tears of the Kingdom is one of the greatest games I've ever played but has some weirdly basic design oversights. Like why is there a button dedicated to calling a horse you barely use instead of a radial menu to activate sage abilities?

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I'm about 70% sure Monolith Soft is developing the Ocarina of Time remake. Tantalus if they come back will do Twilight Princess or A Link Between Worlds.

Like a couple times I've seen the comment about the P5 cast "not feeling like friends" and that only makes sense if the only other game they've played is P4, where half the game is slice of life. Have they played Persona 3 or any other RPG. In most of them, the party barely interacts by comparison.

Sometimes you see opinions that make you question whether the person actually believes that or they just copied it from someone else online.

I just realised the best route for a Majora's Mask remake is to include a Master mode with the original saving mechanics for people who want a tougher challenge.

Xenoblade had the perfect balance between teams working on new games, DLC and remasters

Why did they spend resources on a dozen spin-offs and two remakes before Persona 6

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I remember some people being weirdly upset that Metaphor ReFantazio was being compared to Persona. That's like being mad Elden Ring is being compared to Dark Souls, or that Donkey Kong Bananza is being compared to Mario Odyssey.

I like how Nintendo doesn't care for corporate synergy and decided to bring Star Fox back with two completely different designs.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Unrelated but I love how Nintendo can't just say "Complete Edition". It's gotta be "Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and the Mega Dimension".

Torna is like the polished version of Xenoblade 2's gameplay, outside the elephant in the room.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
If the Zelda movie is successful enough. The sequel is either going to have to recast everyone if they want to use Ganondorf again (since he returns when everyone is long dead) or have Link go on an adventure outside Hyrule so it's a new set of characters anyway.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
It's funny how some Western gamers treat remaking older games as some sacrilege when a lot of the early Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games had a dozen different versions spanning multiple console generations. They were doing remakes for the classics ever since the SNES.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Honestly the biggest thing that Nintendo did that pissed me off as of late is the pricing for the Switch 2 editions. Since the base game didn't go down in price, so the Switch 2 versions add the upgrade price on top of the Switch 1 price.

Yiran @kroketrendang.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
It barely makes the cut-off point but Geoff would be ignoring the elephant in the room if they leave it out. It's the biggest media event since Avengers Endgame and he knows better to not take advantage of the hype.

I'd rather have GTA VI sweep all the game awards this year so 2027 is a competitive field between Xenoblade Genesis, FF7 Revelation, Kingdom Hearts 4, Persona 6, Metroid Ravenous, etc.

Affinity in Future Redeemed is one of my favourite mechanics in any game. Having every activity and quest contribute to filling out the skill tree is brilliant.

Ubisoft is the anti-Nintendo in how cheap their games are on sale.

Echoes of Wisdom essentially fixes all the structural issues that BOTW had. Since it's an open world game but the main quest can't just be skipped for you to get right to the final boss. You still have conventional dungeon design and splitting the game into two parts with a mid-game interlude;

If Wind Waker is ever remade, a lot of people are going to be disappointed when they don't add the two cut dungeons from the original game. Reportedly, they were reused in other Zelda titles. But if you're going to rebuild the game from scratch, there's no stopping them from also designing new ones.

Extra points if we get a proper sword fight against Ganondorf in the remake. Him pulling out the one from the Space World demo or the sword of Demise.

Massive fumble if upgrading the Master Sword isn't the reward for collecting all the Gold Skulltula in the Ocarina of Time remake.

Tapping into fandom drama of things I don't care for is fascinating. People were mad the Halo remake was $50. That sounds like a reasonable price if anything.

They should redub Advent Children with the Remake voice cast because it's crazy how much the performances improved since then.

I'm in the belief that all Zelda games needs at least 1 dungeon that makes you bang your head against the wall and look up a guide.

For game remakes, I'm more willing to listen to the opinions of someone who hasn't played the original. To see if the game actually holds up once you've removed the nostalgia factor. Or at least, someone who has only played the old one recently rather than grew up with it.
