I'm interested in that Tomb Raider collection. But I'm kind of wary as to whether it'll use the PS versions with save crystals or the PC versions where you can save anywhere any time. I was very well practiced at saves scumming even before it had a name.
American Peach is hardcore.

I really don't think changes like this are necessary, anymore. And they make her look a little more like the Movie version, to boot. But, I guess it doesn't look bad. So...*shrugs*
Nintendo has changed the Princess Peach Showtime artwork to make Peach look angrier | VGC
Peach now looks less permanently delighted in the revised artwork…

I was all set to play Mario Wonder…except FedEx apparently has wonky routes. Seriously, from where my Best Buy shipment started, it actually went STRAIGHT PASS ME to a distribution center FARTHER FROM ME THAN FROM WHERE IT STARTED. I won’t be getting the game until later today (Saturday) and won’t be able to play until Monday because of my overnight weekend work schedule.
But I got the frickin’ art print on time, though….
But reviews have been glowing. Basically saying that, unlike the increasingly regurgitative New Super Mario Bros series, Wonder is a breath of fresh air and possibly the best 2D showing in years.

I do not understand why any company that has "deadlines" uses fedex.. fedex should collapse.
I hate FedEx. Particularly the part where they deliver a package and then bill the recipient -- i.e. me, because I never use them to send, but it seems like everyone I order from or get gifts from does -- for it later.
They shouldn't be billing you?! Also.. FedEx needs to burn in the fires of Unicrons anus after a super spicy Taco night.
And yet, they do, waiting just long enough for you to forget about the delivery before springing it on you without any warning.
Unless it's different in Canada.. I'd just refuse the bill.
I thought about it (and other things), but as I said, it seems like nearly everyone uses them to send, which means if I want to receive, it would probably be wise to pay.
Are you paying Shipping from the places your ordering from? If so.. you're getting taken for a ride. Either demand your money back from the stores, or refuse to pay FedEx or call your equivalent of FTC. Sounds like your being charged twice.
It's not usually stuff I order, but if someone sends me a review sample or a gift or something.
Ahh.. Got ya.
So, Mario Wonder...I'm loving it so far. But then, I've always preferred the 2D games. I mean, if you prefer the 3D games, I doubt this will change your mind.
You're still running, jumping and platforming. But something about this just feels different from other Mario games. I mean, obviously no timer, new power ups. But every Mario game usually adds some kind of new power up. So I don't know. Something I can't really point to. But this definitely feels fresh compared to the New Super Mario games we've had previously.

I’ve always been open to both styles. Each has their own “identity angle” when it comes to Mario. But I REALLY lost love for the New Super Mario games. The newest iteration actively frustrated me on controls. NSMB just feels so…floaty. Jumping felt off, and I never seemed to have full control on my forward momentum.
Mario Wonder? It feels “snappy” in ways I haven’t seen since the pre-rendered era. I also think a big thing about the “feel” you mentioned, Caldwin, is the new presentation. NSMB had gotten a bit…sterile. Wonder is bursting with personality. From the animation of the characters to the style of the worlds, even the flowers add a sense of “community” that many earlier Mario games lacked. Even when playing alone, you never felt alone because those flowers would add comments and exclamations that positively reinforced my experience.
I KNOW my experience with an early bonus stage would have been different if I didn’t have that crew of Flowers cheering me “GO, GO, GO” as I bolted across musical blocks.
By this point, NSMB (and to an extent, the 3D World/Land games) have started to feel sterile and lonely. Odyssey and Wonder? Even playing alone, you have vibrant worlds filled with characters and dynamic environment details.

I just think it's funny how doggedly committed Nintendo remains to never letting their main characters speak out loud besides the standard contractually-obligated bing-bing-wahoos, yet they'll fill the same game with flowers that talk in half a dozen languages and each have their own unique lines.
