Luncheon Kingdom?
(Edit: I thought it said The Don't-EAT-Too-Much-Into-It Kingdom.)

The Don't-Read-Too-Much-Into-It Kingdom.

This basically describes everything Nintendo as a whole.

Agreed. Some people are just asking to set themselves up for disappointment. We can't let those expectations run TOO wild, now.

Deserves a like.

After they've done Odyssey, they really should do HD ports of the Galaxy games.

I was emulating Galaxy 2 the other day cos I finally got a decent PC. Running it at 1080p, it genuinely looks like it could've been made in 2017.

@Dezzy If Nintendo were to do a remaster of the Galaxy games, it wouldn't be for at least one year after the release of Mario Odyssey to ensure it doesn't impact on sales.

@Nicolai I think it all works in Pauline's character except for the last verse, which is more of a call to action to buy the video game. It's a very smart song. As a 3D game supremacist, I took "as you move, side to side, They're just different points of view" to mean the side-scrolling parts of Odyssey. Even after Nintendo drew my ire by announcing two more untitled 2D platformers, hearing that verse was the least resentful I've ever felt about the company's insistence on holding onto the second dimension.

And to get into wilder speculation, "You could say my hat is off to you / Oh, we can zoom all the way to the moon," sounds like the game's prologue. As in Pauline is the Rosalina character of Odyssey, she sends Mario Cappy, and Mario finds her (the hat was a lady hat, right?) on the black and white moon level probably right after Peach gets abducted. Again, maybe reading too much into it, but the whole song has that kind of vibe to it.

@Dezzy Just release them as Wii downloads, and maybe add the option to display them in a higher resolution. Last thing I want is paying €60 again for a quick uprez. Unless they're planning to build the games from the ground up, but I don't see why they would be doing that, the games don't look that bad apart from their resolution.

I'm more interested in a Mario 64 (or Sunshine) remaster that looks like Odyssey in terms of visual fidelity.

@FragRed
I doubt a port of a Wii game would impact sales. They could give it a year between though.

Except "just release as Wii downloads" isn't one of their options with the Switch is it? It's a completely different architecture. They'd have to be fully software emulated as far as I can tell. Might not even be possible on the Switch. If it is possible, it'd be quite a lot of work for Nintendo. So I'd guess they'd probably just do official ports instead.

An official 1080p dual pack of the games would be the best Switch game ever released assuming they don't do Galaxy 3

And thus, the next 5 pages will be spent discussing whether or not Galaxy 1/2 is the best game ever.

Hasn't any new info on Odyssey been released recently?

Nope! But man those galaxy games are the best games ever

@Operative2-0 Sunshine > 64 > Galaxy >>> Galaxy 2

@Octane I'm so triggered

I'm also incredibly triggered. You forgot to place 3D Land > 3D World in front of it. Those games are clearly on another level right??

Also

Paper Mario: Sticker Star > Paper Mario: Color Splash > Super Paper Mario > Paper Mario 64 > Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

@Operative2-0 #can'thandlethetruth

Galaxy 1 > Galaxy 2 > Mario 64 > SM3DW > Sunshine (a distant 5th)

Since we're all doing this now:

Mario 64 > Galaxy 2 > Galaxy 1 > 3D World > Sunshine (also a distant 5th).

You may have noticed 3D Land isn't on here.

...

It's not on your list because it's clearly the best one, so there's no point in listing it.

It's also the only one I've played, so....
3D Land >>>>
