It's 79.

And is it just cause I don't follow Nintendo news, or did this game flop? Feels dead after less than a month.


Was a huge flop in Japan it seems.

define your criteria for flop?  sales or reception?

sales were on par for a metriod release.   terrible compared to most nintendo releases but i think the estimate i saw last was already north of a million.  for a franchise where the best selling game ever is in the ballpark of 3 million it did fine enough.

reception has been horrible though.   for like a week half of era was trying to will this game into being a good game.   ..but then it seems like they must of finished playing the game and realized how bad it is.    spoiler free statement: from what i read the worst part of the game just before the ending.  

Spoiler for Hidden:

to get to the final section you need to have collected enough green energy crystals to unlock a door or whatever.   even players knowing how important these are to the final game are only getting like half way there via normal gameplay meaning players have to spend time farming them which requires hours of backtracking

Wow what a book. I seem to have a pretty good idea on the ring space, ring builders and protomolecule and another threat that I won't really speak about given it's mostly only talked about in the final trilogy of books and not the show of at all

I will not watch it, so spoil away!

Spoiler for Hidden:

<br>A major part of the plot is that the main character is a taxi driver who is really good at recognizing people, and remembering them.<br><br>There&#39;s a masked singer who gets killed, and someone is taking their place.&nbsp; No one else notices. <br><br>Somehow the taxi driver doesn&#39;t recognize them. <br><br><img src="https://static0.moviewebimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/odd-taxi-1274042.webp" alt="" class="bbc_img" loading="lazy"><br><br>The show looks like this. Everyone looks like animals. <br><br><br>The big &quot;plot&quot; twist is that none of the imagery is real.&nbsp; <br><br>The reason why he&#39;s able to recognize people so well, Is because he has a condition so he literally sees <br>everyone as exaggerated animals. <br><br><br>The show ends with the delusion revealed. <br><br>

Watched an anime called Oddtaxi. It was really great.

It has the funkiest plot twist I've ever seen.

I will not watch it, so spoil away!
