The man does the proposing dawg. LoL.
chain chomp also appears in A Link to the Past (also pokies). and Mario portraits on some walls
what do you think of the skyward sword joycons?
You can't recommend Burnout because it is cheaper on other platforms? That's great if you are RICH and own all of them. There is NOTHING comparable to the style and quality of that game on Switch right now, and as a Switch only player, the Xbox or Playstation versions are not $15. They are $215, because I need to buy another console to play them. Burnout has not been on a Nintendo platform since 2 on the GameCube. I wasn't MORE games like this. I preordered it at full price immediately. I don't know why more Nintendo Players are not begging for more games like this. Why does Nintendo not have their own Road and Track Franchise?
We need cloud saves.
It's "dumb down."
I can't criticize this post.... Because the comment section isn't the place for criticism. Kinda how IGN reviews aren't the place for that either...
I love the Pokemon talk, keep it up. I champion for a Pokemon segment 😁
Has anyone seen the wizard
Gonna miss Zach
Casey and this new chick not doing it for me.
Great cast for NVC. You can tell these guys are having fun.
Casey is the best NVC host yet.
Zach sayed a bad word
It's very interesting to hear that games like Xenoblade Chronicles: Torna The Golden Country are too difficult for these guys. I will just take it as "We play a lot of games so we couldn't dedicate enough time to learn all of the mechanics" instead.
I would just like everyone to recognize what an amazing game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is...
late upload this week?
what's with the zelda skyward sword hate? that game was amazing and the motion controls were great!!!
