    ATTENTION BELL TREE VETERANS !!!! Is The Bell Tree Forums dying????

    As someone who has been here for coming up on two decades (not a typo!), this is a pretty normal cycle post-AC game releases. And inevitably there is some discussion about TBT "dying" but it seems to be largely immune from the general trend of forum decline across the internet. My understanding...

    New Owner, New Exciting Business Model

    Damn, when I saw "New Owner" I got worried for a second, before I remembered the date... hah.

    A Re-Introduction

    Thank you! I would say Huggy (who has never reappeared after the GCN game!) and Punchy. Chief became a favorite also after the DS game. Thank you! I can hardly believe it myself, that the place is as active as it is now. Feels really good to know that our initial work laid such a strong...

    Favorite Nintendo RPG Game/Series?

    Had you played Paper Mario N64 and Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door before playing Super Paper Mario? I agree with you that SPM is fantastic, but the turn-based combat harkens back to Super Mario RPG, so there's definitely a strong precedent for this type of gameplay being associated with Mario...

    How Do You Feel About Games Adopting the Free-to-Play Model?

    Definitely not a fan. I realize this is going to have shades of "old man yells at cloud," but I tend to associate these games with a cluttered interface and a slew of pseudo-content that just seems to artificially inflate the actual substance of the game. I realize that's somewhat vague, but the...

    Which going to be your next purchase?

    Sonic Frontiers seems to be eliciting a better reaction than expected, at least from those who have actually played it. I hope it'll be a return to form for the series. Not necessarily my actual next purchase, but the one I'm (tentatively) most excited about right now.

    Your most recent gaming purchases

    I picked up the Sonic Colors remaster on Xbox Series X. Some technical imperfections aside, it was nice to go on a bit of a nostalgia trip as I played the original game when it released on the Wii (now more than a decade ago?... yikes). Great game, though it still feels like it could have used a...

    Love the new Pokemon design. Very unique!

    Do you play Luigi's Mansion 1?

    This was the first game I played on the Gamecube. I remember not really knowing that memory cards were a thing (only had an N64 up to that point) and not being able to save until I picked one up in the coming days, haha. The game evokes a mix of feelings in me -- on one hand, it was a huge...

    Splatoon SPLATOON 3

    I haven't had a chance to play the Splatfest demo, but I can't seem to muster much excitement for what seems like an iterative advancement. I guess it's not easy to come up with a way for the series to move forward in a significant way.

    Favorite Nintendo RPG Game/Series?

    This is a tough one. I know that it is more of a strategy game than pure RPG, but Fire Emblem will always have a special place in my heart. I vividly remember playing FE7 and Sacred Stones on the GBA, everything about those games was so memorable. I loved the story, the characters, the music...

    A Re-Introduction

    More of a gamer now than ever! I used to stick mainly to Nintendo, but since the Xbox 360 came out I’ve had pretty much every major home console from each manufacturer. The Switch has also been huge in getting me back into gaming — so many good games! As far as medicine, I was always pretty set...

    A Re-Introduction

    Hey all. Some of you have seen me now and again, but I wanted to re-introduce myself as it has been a very long time since I've been active here. I'm Daniel, one of the co-founders of TBT. After some time working on the forum and its website, including sections dedicated to gaming news...
