@Herlock Sholmes Here I'll add picture for more of a feeling of completion

Don't really care because even with it being more predictable, that prices skyrocketed like this still isn't a positive. Plus I don't have Tour either and I'm not massive on most freemium games

Hi.

I can't speak on the behalf of the entire committee, however, I am a member of the committee, and this is simply my own opinion.

I realize that you have been on the committee in the past, and while I thank you for that, you are no longer a member of the committee, and posting the images when the head of the committee does not...it rubs me the wrong way, you know? Don't go around correcting a issue that does not exist. I am not trying to be rude, I'm simply saying that if the image is not included, there is probably a good reason for it.

Again, this is my own opinion, and I am not speaking on behalf of the committee in any way. Thank you.
 
Thank you LJS, and I'll elaborate on why I do not post the image.

The reason I do not include the images in my original posts is because frankly they are almost never relevant to the poll at hand and shouldn't really be something that influences your choice anyway. They're mostly there for aesthetic and to be honest I have found attempting to format the image alongside the poll in forum posts to be kind of ugly and distracting. I could very well post the images without issue, but I like to keep the poll posts looking relatively clean.

Notably as well, the previous committee sometimes would have a poll posted here without an image, and you never corrected that despite actually being on the committee. I've been taking what you've been doing in these threads so far in relative good faith as opposed to a snide attempt to diss the poll committee or a plea for membership, things that you've been warned by forum moderation about, but posting a huge blown up version of an already-shrunken poll picture after the poll goes up doesn't actually add anything meaningful to these threads.

Now, with that being said, while I may not personally think you carry any malice with these posts, I do need to remind you yet again that if your ultimate aim is to improve yourself to one day get back on the committee, continuing to hover around the poll committee in various venues and essentially roleplay as an unofficial member is absolutely not the way to do it.

That was because I started feeling more bugged by pictures not being included around August, when the 13th Committee started. I won't persist in said behavior since it was deemed not the way to go.

I can understand this instance being something I shouldn't do, but I don't consider myself to have "roleplayed as an unofficial Poll Committee member" anywhere else. There's not a "yet again" here.

Anyway to change the topic I'm surprised wholehearted support is the most popular option right now, considering the price criticisms are very valid.

Going with either options 1 or 2 for this poll. I haven't played Mario Kart Tour, but having played games with similar mechanics and considering MKT's target audience, it's better to pick and choose what you want to buy than burn your entire paycheck trying to pull your favorite character, even with a pity system for the latter.

The pricing for the rubies might need to be fixed tho.
 
Mario platformers typically feature many power-ups that grant Mario different abilities, often introducing new ones. How many new power-ups do you like to see in a game?
  • I prefer when a game's power-ups are all or mostly brand new to the franchise.
  • I prefer when a game has several new power-ups with some returning power-ups as well.
  • I prefer when a game has one new power-up with a lot of development put into it, with the rest of the power-ups being returning.
  • I prefer when a game has new power-ups, but I am okay with returning power-ups provided they work differently from before or are introduced to a new format (i.e. 2D power-ups in 3D Mario)
  • I prefer to see only returning power-ups in games.
  • I don't like power-ups and would prefer to see a game that doesn't have them at all.
  • I have no opinion.

Today's poll is from Waluigi Time and myself, regarding the various power-ups across the series and whether you prefer new power-ups in a game vs. existing ones or even a game completely devoid of them.

Personally I'm probably option 4. I don't care that much about power-ups on the whole but generally prefer a fresh experience to yet another game with all the same stuff. However, sometimes when the power-up is used in a new format, like the Racoon Leaf and Fire Flower in 3D Land, it feels unique enough to me that it may as well be new anyway.
 
I like seeing both returning power-ups and new power-ups; more variety is usually better. So Option 2, or even 4, but I voted for the former because I don't mind returning power-ups being the same sometimes as before if it doesn't feel like the game somehow goes overboard with this (i.e. making NONE of the returning power-ups different.)
 
Now that we are over a year in, what is your opinion of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack?
  • I pay for the Expansion Pack and enjoy it, as I feel like it provides enough retro games and DLC benefits to justify the cost.
  • I pay for the Expansion Pack and enjoy its DLC benefits and retro games, but feel as though it needs more content in either category to justify the cost.
