GNamer Major Writes Site

Super Mario Galaxy did perfect camera controls for a 3d platforming game though, so I'm not worried about SMO one bit.

I actually disagree. I remember times when the camera got stuck behind a planet I was on the other side of, or when I couldn't tell what direction I'd move in. Such things made me think that camera movement had gone downhill for the series. I was at least partly wrong, of course.

Hmm..maybe you just got some real bad luck there? As I don't remember anything like that happening for me.

Balla... I also secretly prefer Super Mario 64 to Mario Galaxy.
I hope I said that at some point previously, as it feels like sticking up for the underdog. I basically like any game that gives me nooks and crannies and goes "hey, find 500 things in this place". But don't get me wrong - like the centrist appeasing loser I apparently am - Mario Galaxy / Mario Galaxy 2 is the second best thing ever. There's so much imagination in Mario Galaxy that I feel ashamed I can't recollect it all.

Yes. That exactly. It's just that, being the joyless automaton I am, I value freedom and exploration over imagination.

I've broke the 6 Switch game review streak with a Senran Kagura game

Here's my review of King Oddball, the cheap'n'cheerful Switch physics-based puzzler. Think Angry Birds with a giant malevolent boulder swinging rocks around with his tongue.

My review of Rime is now up and is certainly worth a look for all of you on Switch.

Double Post as I did a we thing on Xbox.

The second of my pieces on SMO, SM64, and SMG.  Relatively spoiler-free, with the exception of one clearly-marked section.

I've pretty majorly rejigged the front page of www.gintendo.co.uk

I think it looks better, I think it lets people get at our content better and I think it will lessen the blow when someone uploads something right after someone else.

Looks way better, on my phone at least.

Epic approve.

You know how the average person's first reaction to change is, 'It was fine how it was, now I don't understand it, it's automatically bad'?

I'm not doing that. Massive improvement. Well done sir.

DoPo OhNo: I wrote a pretty spoiler-free piece about Xenoblade 2's controllable sex weapons female characters.

Maybe a "your mum is fat" joke was a poor choice in an article about the objectification of women?

I'd hoped it was poking fun at the type of joke rather than the women featured in the type of joke... but I see your point and will make the edit.  Would welcome your other thoughts!

For the most part I was on board, though there were a few that I felt you were too harsh on. Specifically the "elegant dress" designs, which I like the look of and don't feel are so much of an issue where magical sword beings are concerned. I presume physically armour is meaningless to them, so why wouldn't they dress pretty?

Pyra's look is dumb though.

I'm guessing that means Brighid and Pandy?  With Brighid, I feel that a bit of décolletage would suit, and indeed provide elegance... but that a dress transparent the whole way down goes beyond elegance a tad.  Pandy's less of an open (dress) and shut case, though, and I can see defences for both of them.

Cheers for the feedback! Didn't know if anyone would read a SJW piece on a game they hadn't finished, so I am grateful.

I've been a busy bee!

Been posting some travel writings/ adventure stories/ general musings about my trip under my A Luke At Japan subheading. I'm just writing the post which will go up tomorrow, about Game Party Japan 2018, which I attended on Saturday.

On that subject, I wrote a more general thing about Nintendo and Esports.

I'll probably do a video about specifically the Splatoon parts of my time at GPJ2018, but I already did a little vid collating all the Splatoon stuff I spotted my first week in Japan. Although there's not much point putting that stuff on youtube, I do way better on the Splatoon facebook groups

Is there a easier way to find your a luke at japan as up till now, I've had to check your twitter to see if you've done anything as it's totally invisible on the site.

Just go to www.gintendo.co.uk/a-luke-at-japan

Are you planning to keep it as your pinned tweet while you're in Japan, Drunka? It's where I've been accessing it up till now.

Yeah, can't imagine anything usurping it as my pinned tweet any time soon.
