@MoldyPasta they won't cast Jack Black in another Nintendo film whilst he's still doing the voice of Bowser. Plus he's not tall enough for Ganondorf. They need someone tall and imposing.

@Sylamp The great thing about Tomadachi Life is you can play it for like 15-30 minutes at a time and still get enjoyment out of it (Although for me, those 15 minutes have a way of turning into several hours).

That's my hope anyways, since Tomadachi Life and Pragmata have both been games I've been really looking forward to and I want to experience them both as soon as possible.

@Chlocean I actually prefer ni no kuni 2 to the first one in just about every way but missing the little creatures.

I'm not talking about that tho. There was a mobile game that was called cross world or something similar.

Yikes low-key feels like a scam at this point. Would rather they have just waited and release thr game on Switch 2 instead of waste resources on the original Switch.

I personally would give it a 7 myself. It was serviceable but to be fair, it was mainly designed for kids in mind. All of the cool Easter Eggs were nice, but the plot was very basic for me, and many of the characters didn't really have any depth. That being said, it isn't like Super Mario characters are known for incredible depth in the first place.

Yikes. I had considered getting the Switch version with the announcement of Jam.

Switch 2 version would be ideal but that feels like a ban-aid to the general Switch situation. This version already took forever to get the DLC characters after Dizzy.

Gimme the Switch 2 version pleeeeease

The North American/European variant is so much more balanced color-wise in my opinion, and for that reason they get my vote.

Pretty simple attire which I don't mind from time to time.

Well, as far as I am concerned, the music was one of the main redeeming things about the film. Knowing he scored much of the music while in the hospital is even more impressive.

After having finally seen the first Mario movie, the main thing I would want from this is a good writer. 80% of my issues with the Mario movie is its a comedy movie that isn't very funny or has lines worth remembering. Mario has some well written games, but the average quality is obviously better for Zelda, so this needs better writing even more.

I don't want to come out of this and be annoyed that the Hollywood movie has worse writing than the original Gameboy Zelda game. (since it will almost certainly be less charming than the Gameboy Zelda, because most things are less charming than Link's Awakening tbh)

Honestly, I am super excited for this movie. I doubt it will have the sales reach that reach that the Super Mario movies has, but I personally like The Legend of Zelda a little more than Super Mario. I am looking forward to the eventual first trailer.

Does this mean you can use mouse mode with the joy cons? Or only regular mouse support?

I really think Wes is gonna pull this off. The last Apes film not only had a great story, but was visually amazing. Also helps he’s a dedicated Zelda fan. Paesanos work on the Spider-Man games are phenomenal. I’m honestly more at ease than I was with the Mario Movie when it got announced.

I don’t think this film will be as financially successful as Mario, but I can still see it hitting that 700 million mark.

Very cool. Absolum is fantastic, even as someone who's not a rougelite fan. Especially in multiplayer.

@AccessibleDaydream hey hey! Happy SpringFest!

Genuinely don’t think this will do well commercially or critically. Mario is Mario, everyone knows Mario. Zelda is inherently more nerdy, it’s more niche. And it being live action means it won’t grab the parents who just want to take their kids to anything animated and kid-friendly. I just don’t really see an audience for it outside of nerds with low standards.

I'll keep my expectations in check, but I'd love to see (or play) something more substantial than social media art and collectible knickknacks. I love Okami and do need to revisit it sometime. Same with the not quite as great but still fun Okamiden, which I kinda forgot I had until I was going through my handheld games last weekend.

I really appreciate 11bit studios a lot, especially what they did with 'This war of mine' (It's cheap on the eShop and definitely worth checking out if you haven't).

I do wonder if this is not a bit too little too late. Switch gets the old version while the new and shiny Unreal 5 remake has already been announced a year ago. In the same video they announce a massive 90% discount for the original game on Steam. I'll buy it if the port is decent, but I feel some years ago it could have been a far more impactful release.

If indies with low budgets can release proper physical games on NS2, why can't the big publishers?

Because they are greedy anti-consumer companies that's why.

Switch 1 gave me my lifetime fill of roguelikes.

@Joeynator3000 I enjoy Run, but man oh man, would I drop it in a heartbeat if that brought SMB 35 back.

This game also got switch 2 bundle! Get it now!!!!

I've never clicked faster....

Well that was great update, just bought a brand new integral 1tb micro sd express card and now my switch is showing it doesn't exist..shows up in my laptop but nothing on the switch 2.. Any ideas or fixes?

Cool. I was hoping this would get a Switch 2 version.

I’m hoping they do a demo for the galaxy games at some point, though I’m not holding my breath. I’ve never played either of them, and looking at the videos I’m put off by that cursor thing on screen. It just looks awkward to control, especially as someone that normally turns any gyro controls off.

I’m sorry, but of those trailers were not very good “get me interested” trailers. I’m sure the developers loved the tone and imagery, but I watched both and still didn’t see gameplay. Why is there such a disconnect between developers and players when it comes to marketing?

@Pillowpants I also wondered from the end of the movie that their maybe another one.

The fact that Barony isn’t on this list is criminal. Amazing game

Played the demo on Xbox. Fantastic game! Had a lot of fun with it. Plays just like DuckTales, Shovel knight and Metroid all mushed up into one glorious ball of goo... good gaming.

Nice to see Mario Galaxy 1+ 2 getting a sales boost (thanks to the movie) right after everyone chanting on the internet that they are going to boycott it with "it should've been $19 instead of $40 each!" and other crap. It goes to show that people will complain about anything .

@JohnnyMind We are not seeing the same current sales because sales in different regions on the eShop seem to happen at different times (and regional prices differ as well), however, for comparison, let me point out the local prices I can see based on price history for the multi-platform games you mentioned, so that you hopefully understand the point I'm trying to make (prices in USD):

Laika: Aged Through Blood (MSRP: $19.99)

• previous eShop historic low: $4.99
• previous Steam historic low: $4.99
• lowest current price I could find on any site for PC: $2.19

Enter the Gungeon (MSRP: $14.99)

• previous eShop historic low price: $2.99
• previous Steam historic low: $1.49
• lowest current price I could find on any site for PC: $2.99

Spiritfarer (MSRP: $29.99)

• previous eShop historic low: $4.49
• previous Steam historic low: $2.99
• lowest current price I could find on any site for PC: $2.97

CARRION (MSRP: $19.99)

• previous eShop historic low: $4.99
• previous Steam historic low: $3.99
• lowest current price I could find on any site for PC: $3.99

Darkest Dungeon (MSRP: $24.99)

• previous eShop historic low: $3.74
• previous Steam historic low: $1.99
• lowest current price I could find on any site for PC: $2.79

(eShop historic lows as listed on dekudeals, Steam historic lows as listed on isthereanydeal)

PC consistently has sales that match or beat console sales. PC gamers save more on every single purchase (if they bother to comparison shop) Also, the games you listed were all indies. These price comparisons extend to AA and AAA titles.

@Pillowpants I think it's more about fitting Rosalina into the film canon without changing too much about her.

Most of the events of Rosalina's Storybook will still have to have happened even in movie otherwise she wouldn't be on the Observatory looking after Lumas.

@Pillowpants I was legitimately coming here just to say that, I'm so glad people agree

I love this soap opera so much. Please Nintendo, keep releasing these after the game comes out.

An IMDB leak, really? Not too long ago, Toy Story 5's IMDB page had Toby Fox casted as Gaster.

I really ought to finish Ōkami... I like the game, I just didn't expect it to keep going after the stuff with Orochi.

@gcunit I'm trying to figure out /confirm whether the platform split is based on lifetime sales or whether it is based on the sales for that week. It makes more sense for it to be the latter but it's equally possible for it to be the former.

@Pillowpants apparently that was Nintendo’s original plan in the early development of Super Mario Galaxy - to make them related to each other.

@jsty3105
Gotcha. Cuz yea, that was a weird conversation lol

@Peach64 Odd. Mario Odyssey gets discounted about 2 times a year. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the same. I know there are a handful of games that are about once every couple of years rather than annually - like Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild (this had like an annual discount for a few years but seems irregular now)

I was absolutely gripped when I played this on PC several years ago. Fascinating game. Nerve wracking decision making. Incredibly satisfying when somehow we survived.

It's about time! I've been waiting for this since the app came out with Splatoon 3's OST...

Anyway, now do Xenoblade.

And give the app a widget to control playback from the home screen.

I was late to the party. I remember the original release. Never piqued my interest. When it came out on the Switch, I decided to give it a try. I LOVED the game! The only thing, I never beat it! 😩 It's a long game! After the big reveal, I played for a while longer. Eventually, I lost interest. I didn't think it was boring, I had enough. Spending time trying to figure out what to do added a lot to my play time.

I was always in awe of how beautiful it looked. I can't wait to see what they do with today's hardware. I bet the transformation of lands will be stunning!

@Pillowpants I wonder if that will be game canon from now on? Kinda hope not.
Probably not, but they have made other minor adjustments in games to align, like changing the box art for Princess Peach Showtime before release so Peach more closely resembles her movie appearance.
