Despite not really being sure about supporting a bare-bones port, my brother pre-ordered me Mario for my birthday so it’ll be good to play those games again regardless. I really hope they have a control scheme for the Gamecube controller, it is officially supported by the console after all.
My copy of Super Mario 3D All Stars will be here tomorrow. I also got lucky and was able to pre-order a Playstation 5 (disc version) from Gamestop yesterday so I'm good for the week 😃.
I plan on picking up 3D All Stars at some point, but not this month.
@nessisonett While I was going to get it regardless, but I understand how you feel toward the direction Nintendo went with this release. I'm looking forward to it, especially for Galaxy without the required motion controls and playing Sunshine again.
Hope you enjoy and happy birthday!
I pre-purchased my copy of Mario 3D All-Stars.
But I live in Argentina, so I'll be receiving it on the 30th, if I'm lucky, the stars align, the economy blooms, Peronists and anti-Peronists hold hands, and Messi wins something with the Argentine jersey.
Fingers crossed!
Super Mario 3D All-Stars...what else.
Already got my 3D All Stars copy, man I really wish they improved the cameras, they are really weird after playing Odyssey for over 150h
I was all kinds of excited when I saw Hades in last week’s new releases. But Hades never showed. A couple of people mentioned it was coming out on the 16th of September and I blindly believed it. Still nothing. I was really, really hoping it’d be out today, but nothing. Cruel to tinker with one’s heart like this.
I'm getting the biggest game on the list: 2K Battlegrounds!
I wonder if most people pre-order these days as opposed to buying in the first month.
Not downloading, but did order the physical version of Mario 3D. Enough good games in that set that it's worth having the physical game.
Man, I wonder when Nintendo is gonna announce the 3d Collection...
Super Mario 3D All Stars has been dispatched. Spending money on anything else this week would be a complete waste of money, as nothing else is getting played while I'm going at these three classics again.
ORI AND THE WILL O' THE WISPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!
I already have Twin Breaker on PS4 and Vita, so I doubt I’m gonna buy it again....but I will highly recommend it to everyone on here.
Castle Storm II
@BaronMunchausen I bet you liked the Direct. Hades is out today!
@imgrowinglegs What?!?! Please don’t play with me...
@BaronMunchausen
Yup!
One of the shadow drops, along with Ori.
Thanks for the heads up, guys!
just got Super Mario 3D All Stars delivered
Wasn't AVGN Adventures 1+2 supposed to come out or was it next week?
Just Mario for me.
But I might grab Moero Crystal H on a discount.
Missed ori and hades on that list
Does anyone know for sure 100% when Super Mario 3D Allstars is playable tonight if downloaded on the eShop?
I’m in Chicago so Central Time Zone. I’ve seen online past releases are available at 12pm Eastern. So can I play mine at 11pm CST tonight?
Will be getting the 3D All Stars. Wouldn't mind a physical but didn't want to deal with all the drama with physical copies.
My copy for 3d all stars will be here tomorrow cant wait.
Since the poll in this article is for games you will "download", I wonder how many people selected Mario 3D All-Stars above bought physical, not digital. 🤔
I ALMOST checked off 3D All-Stars, but realized the poll is for digital purchases. Only the most reckless NL users would make that mistake
Tracking says my best buy 3D all-stars was scanned 30 miles away, to be delivered tomorrow. So, it's gonna sit somewhere locally for almost 24 hours. This, my friends, is the tragedy of package tracking, knowing it's sitting somewhere nearby for a day before they deliver it.
Guys, Hades is glorious. Supergiant is legendary. I can’t believe I have to stop to go to work.
Picking up my copies of Super Mario 3d All Stars and Wwe 2K Battlegrounds!
It cracks me up that the Sacred Symbols game is coming out on a non-Sony console. With that being said, I'm glad Twin Breaker isn't locked only into one ecosystem.
@DTfeartheBEARD @Beaucine @Snatcher
I pre-ordered mine from GameStop. They just shipped it today and it should arrive on the 23rd. Still, I have started Paper Mario, so I can wait.
@Tandy255 Oh did it have first day shipping?
@Snatcher I thought so, but I guess not. They said it would ship when it was available. If I were to pick it up, it would be there. However, with Covid, that wasn’t an option for my local GameStop.
I just decided to go with someone besides Amazon. Not today, Bezos!
@Tandy255 Nice! I finished Paper Mario a few weeks ago and enjoyed it more and more over time. I hope you like it. Have fun and happy gaming!
