@Cry_Zero well, you’re entitled to yours even if most of the gaming world has forgotten about DK64. I mean, until Bananza was announced, I didn’t believe DK had a 3D outing before it. Same with Kirby 64.

Clearly Bananza will not be as forgettable since it has sold 4.25 million copies thus far. Since DK64 is on NSO, I’ll probably try it someday.

Also, I love Bananza, it has been loads of fun for me.

As usual, I'm waiting for BLUEY back to Top 40 again. 😟

I wonder if we’ll get this discount in the UK. The Mario games hardly ever go on sale, not even the once a year discounts the NA eshop does.

@axelhander 100% how I felt, sadly. The manual equipping thing is really annoying, the dialogue was endless and unskippable and I didn't find the level design, obstacles or enemy patterns to be well-designed either. They can fix a few of these things before or after launch, I guess. I did like the boss battle, and thought the game was one of the prettiest I'd ever seen.

yesssss, I need more info on Professor Layton and DECAPOLICE!!!

And there better not be an GenAI in either game!!

erm, yea, this looks really weird and off-putting to me. but, y'all enjoy!!

@Markatron84 Atleast the Nintendo Ninjas won't get me right?.... Right?!

Amazing that Mario Kart 8 is still charting. This game originally released 12 years ago!

Does Hogwarts Legacy have a Game Key Card option?

Who would have thought Nintendo knows how to capitalize on an IP?!

This movie is going to be awful and also a huge commercial success, lol.

@vio For a month, sure. Because many will go buy it BEFORE the increase, which is just what Sony wants. Long term? Nah, just wait and see. Sales will pick right back up, insane price or not. Just watch.

@LucasM3 It's easy to see, just look at any luxury good. They sell.

@Res462 Don't get me wrong, I love the game. I just find it funny that it keeps coming back to the top 10 no matter how much hate it got in the industry from people that never even tried playing the game.

@progx thats like, your opinion man. And i love dk64. Way more than bananza which was very forgettable to me🤷‍♂️

@PharoneTheGnome probably a combination of being on sale/discount, plus news about the HBO show.

I'm not surprised. Sitting in the theater yesterday, I thought, man, maybe I should replay these games.

How in the world is Hogwartz back in the top 10 and beating Pokopia LOL! Its like the game that keeps on kicking LOL

@rallydefault I'm sure pinball was referring to the Canadian price of the console

The movie is sentient. What will we do?!!

i was not expecting them to return to the yoomian island storyline! and fun to focus on crystal for this since she didnt do anything in the direct

My biggest gripe with the movie was the lore bit with Rosalina and Peach. I really don't understand why they had to make that change and why there's any reason for it. But I guess that's on Miyamoto san and not caring about lore consistency in the Mario verse in the first place.

Glad to see the games got a sales boost from it, too!

Also happy to see Resident Evil Requiem still soaring the list. I am almost done with my 3rd playthrough. I can't wait for the content updates in May!

Dang, Lego Star Wars really jumped up the charts. I know those games often go on sale, but that was enough for such a leap? Crazy.

Having last week's ranking in the first column and this week's ranking in the second column will never not break my brain.

I can understand the rise Super Mario Galaxy has experienced this week. I almost bought the game myself this weekend, and that's coming from someone who's already bought the 1&2 physical.

Hmm, will be interesting to see how well this runs on the Switch 1. I suspect it'll chug like late game Civ VI.

I really hope I’m wrong but I have a bad feeling about this movie. Something just isn’t sitting right with me and I can’t pinpoint it.

@anoyonmus

Per se!!

Music confirmed!

I think it bodes well that he has composed for both films and video games. Plus, he should have a good feel for Wes Ball's vision, having worked with him multiple times.

@Erigen Great minds think alike 😆

This is the best update yet! And I figure it must mean we'll get a Direct tomorrow.

@Skunkfish likely a sale price. It’s normally $29.99, does go on sale often. If you’re going to get it on PC, I’d recommend GOG since it’s DRM free.

However, the vast majority of Switch owners don’t have another platform where they play games. Frostpunk might be fun for them.

Pour It On/Missing Ink is my current track on repeat.

Amaterasu and Ammy confirmed for Smash!! No? Ugh. One can dream.

Ooh. He did the Daredevil intro music, so I'm sold.

It's giving Wario Land: Shake It! and A Boy and His Blob vibes, and I'm here for it. Forever live hand drawn animation.

"She's jest-a-friend"

Brutal, Hugh!

@PinballBuzzbro
The console is $450 dollars.

Are you ok?

@Folkloner Nate is 100% not a guesswork merchant. He has access to information from Nintendo employees.

The CPU would be the main limiting factor for a port.

I'm really looking forward to playing this but I'm gonna wait on starting it until I beat Pragmata, which comes out only a day after this and for me takes priority

My expectations are so low for this film. At least with the Mario films you can have the baseline expectation that they’re going to look gorgeous and just be fun to watch if nothing else. Live action and presumably serious for a series that is even at its darkest still better served by a cartoon style is just not the direction for me. Not to mention that the story has rarely been particularly deep in Zelda and that’s going to be something they need to get right in lieu of visual spectacle like the Mario films.

I’ll still watch it and who knows, it might be pleasantly surprising but I’m really finding it hard to get excited about it.

“Availubbuule” was funny.

Forget a Star Fox movie, we need Hugh Morris on the big screen NOW

Honestly, this game is alright. Have had some good fun with it 🤷‍♂️

Where I work (a large retailer in the UK on the game-planning performance side), the Switch 2 has really slowed on sales, even with the £10/£20 RRPs on the console and controllers. We have been receiving fewer shipment allocations recently as stock is piling up in our stores and warehouses. Pokémon Pokopia did shift the needle a little bit, but I think it will take the next mainline Mario/Zelda/Animal Crossing/Pokémon game before things really take off sales-wise. It seems like the sales in Asian markets are really doing the heavy lifting right now, and 20 million sold in a year would be a great achievement for Nintendo, considering the economic climate, RAM/SSD issues and lack of new consumer-demanding 1st party content.

A proper EU physical switch release please

No Deadzone: Rogue again? Such a great game. It's weird how this site is ignoring this game.

Would 100% get this on day 1 if I actually had the time to play it. My summer is looking more and more stacked

@PinballBuzzbro but that's exactly how a purchase incentive works.

You could position that as a complaint on literally any item that's priced at a point you disagree with and it would be a waste of energy.
