Seems to me he and Gearbox have been in lots of shit for a while now (the infamous USB drive, serious plagiarism accusations when Borderlands did an artistic 180 during development, Alien : Colonial Marines released broken as hell after funneling its funding to make BL2, Duke Nukem Forever…)
And every time Pitchford’s (mostly unnecesary) public answer has been terrible.
Switch still have them. Of course now some publishers on Switch 2 are shitting on the very concept of cartridges by making empty carts that are just keys to download the game.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 became my favourite entry in the series because of how it still has light, silly moments, improbable vistas and absurd world building, but when it tries for dark, it hits hard (and to be honest it’s generally a good deal darker than the other games even from the beginning).
Previous episodes had their emotional moments, but nothing comes close to one particular scene in 3.
Amiibos are a bit expensive. There are a few DK amiibos, they should all work with Smash because amiibos have a character identifier that’s recognized between games and amiibo series.
The ones from smash bros and super mario series should be around the “normal” price (for me it’s about 13-15 euros). Maybe you can find a second hand one for cheaper.
There’s a new one with DK and Pauline for Bananza, like other new amiibos it costs a bit more (around 18€ for me). It unlocks a costume in Bananza as an extra.
There’s also an old Skylander DK figure that doubles as an amiibo if I remember correctly. It’s kinda ugly and cheap-looking, and probably not easy to find, but who knows.
“Another fighting game character”, take your pick. Just with non-nintendo IPs at this point it could be Ryu, Ken, Terry Bogard or Kazuya Mishima.
And then you can throw Solid Snake, Pac-Man, Sonic, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, fucking Minecraft Steve and a Mii disguised as Sans from Undertale into the mix.
My problem with Smash is I just can’t commit to one character and I’m just kind of bad at all of them. If anything, the most decent I get might be with the Links and Belmonts. I guess projectile jank is kind of my thing.
Oh fuck, Hard DK has found his way to you too then :)
Streamer Alpharad got a “Hard DK” bit running since they got their ass handed over to them by a crazy Mario Party CPU DK that was just gambling like mad and winning everything.
They trained an incredibly good amiibo CPU DK in Smash they called Hard DK in reference to this.
Yeah, completely. Pauline’s got her time in the limelight right now, between Odyssey and DK Bananza, but Rosalina was just relegated to “bonus Peach clone that can do a swirl attack” in 3D World, and that’s basically it.
