Agreed that the Bananzas are a little weird. Personally I find myself toggling it on and off (you can drumbeat again to transform back), which causes it to use so little meter that it’s recovered almost instantly, if not already recovered by the coins I earned doing the thing.

I’m definitely not using it as a transformation as much as I am just using it as a move in the kit though, so I’m not feeling like I’m using it as intended either.

I do really think they fumbled the bag here with “Welcome Tour”. Could’ve been a cool pack in, would’ve been reminiscent of Wii Sports, and apparently it’s a decent quality package that probably would’ve been well received, and helped build hype for the console.

Instead, they charged a pittance for it. No way are they getting many sales, and they gave us an easy narrative that they’re greedy and have lost their way since Reggie and the Wii, just as they launch a hella expensive console with big price increases and don’t need that kind of PR.

They turned an easy PR win that might have helped move units into a PR disaster in a touchy time, for chump change next to their profit margins on the console + games like Mario Kart World. Also lost a chance to advertise and show off what the new hardware can really do, the whole thing looks like a big advertisement anyways. Hell, it even looks pretty neat, but there’s not a snowballs chance in hell of me paying for it.

Exactly what I’ve done. Set my settings to hide NSFW, blocked most of the “soft” communities like hot girls and moe anime girls and whatever else (blocking the lemmynsfw.com instance is a great place to start), and I use All frequently. That’s how I’ve found all the communities I’ve subscribed to, but frankly, my /all feed is small enough that I usually see all my subscribed communities anyway.
