    One suggestion I've heard that I really like for watching the Star Wars OG trilogy and prequel trilogy films as far as order goes is A New Hope and Empire Strikes back, then the prequels (almost as a three-movie extended flashback sequence) then Return of the Jedi - that way the whole reveal thing remains a reveal BUT you don't end on the downer that is Revenge of the Sith/you actually end at the conclusion of that storyline.

    • @Kahadi
      @Kahadi 3 дні тому +3

      They've always been more careful with Zelda games than the Mario franchise, plus the fact Mario is a far bigger franchise than Zelda. Mario has a lot of spin-offs and games that are completely different, like Mario Kart, Mario Sports games, the 3D Mario games like Sunshine and Odyssey, even the various Mario RPG games like Paper Mario, Super Mario RPG, and Mario & Luigi. Meanwhile, Zelda games were always the same style and type of gameplay. Even the top down and 3D games are the same kinds of games, not like the difference between Super Mario World and Super Mario Sunshine. It was only rather recently that they started actually making Zelda spin-offs and other kinds of Zelda games, starting with Link's Crossbow Training then really kicking off with the Hyrule Warriors games. But even now they're few and far between, even if you count BotW and TotK.
      So it really shouldn't be surprising that the series that's always been more open and free with trying new things swapped roles for characters before the series that's always been more formulaic.

Other movies would be optional, heck I'm even tempted to have the Ewok Adventures as the first movies I show them cause fun scifi fantasy shenanigans lol (yes I know I'm weird for having a soft spot for those)

      The kid who 'beat' Tetris, was playing the NES version. The game wasn't programmed with an ending, it just gets faster and faster. Glitches and bugs start to creep in, and eventually the game crashes altogether.
      His playing technique is really weird since he essentially has to trick the console into reading the controller inputs more often than it was programmed to. He induces tremors in the muscles of his hand so that his fingers vibrate on the d-pad at high speeds.

    Not that excited about the building stuff function......didn't like that bit in Tears of the Kingdom, so I hope they keep it optional and make it a less central mechanic

    Remember the Gameboy Color was backwards compatible with the original Gameboy so I imagine it will be like that.

    I almost can't wait for Echoes of Wisdom (super cute and not a 2D horror show) and Stray, the game I spent over seventy percent laughing and loving how Ellen lost her mind over a digitally rendered cat. On the fence about the NES collection but I'm glad everyone seems to be getting a bit of what they want this year.
    Fingers crossed Hades 2 is on a future list!!

      No one’s talking about it because it’s just not true. In fact, it’s as far from the truth as it could ever possibly be.
      Summons have a triangle hovering on top of them. Link doesn’t. In fact, he’s in the background with Gannon. Also look at the sizes. He’s literally a GIANT if he was real. This is just an art, an image. It’s not literally part of the game when Link and Ganon show up on the background like that.
      Lastly, by your logic, Ganon is a summon too. Can’t have it both ways.

      @@C41N4 Maybe she can summon Ganon too! Go all out! Zelda don't need no man to protect OR endanger her Kingdom. :p She's got a wand that can do it all.

    Nintendo is crushing just based on being the only major company not buying and closing studios or doing multiple waves of massive layoffs. Only one of the big three I can comfortably support with purchases.

    Best thing to do when you get super frustrated playing Mario Party or Mario Kart? Duke it out in Smash bros. I speak from experience.😅

    I won’t lie I really do miss Luke, since I have been following oxxtra since after high school graduation. But Mike has a sort of energy that is a perfect match for this channel. I know he is apart of the og channel. But I do like him here too. Hope you guys enjoy the games from Nintendo you’re excited for! I’ll eventually get a switch so I can join in everyone’s excitement as well!! Also glad to hear to a shout out to one of my favorite UA-camrs/twitch streamer max Dood.

    You know, the biggest problem with watching Star Wars in chronological order isn't the reveal that isn't surprising anymore (because to the character, it still is). The greatest difficulty is when you decide to also watch Clone Wars between episodes 2 and 3 and because you have to work (boooo!) it then takes weeks and months and then you realize that there's also Rebels and by the time you're close to the original trilogy, you're no longer in the mood for Star Wars and start watching LotR or whatever.

    So, both Perfect Dark and Metroid Prime have now had announcements, after they appeared in your "Games stuck in development hell" video 🤔
    Personally, I'm hoping for Silksong to be the next one to suddenly have a release date soon 😆
