1UP-HUSKY

@Znake thank for this reply as well. I did enjoy the game though and finished it. But because of the controls I haven't played it after, that's what I meant with unplayable for me. Should have added that in my first post.

@Znake maybe read the comment instead of throwing a tandrem and call everyone a lazy gamer because they don't agree with your vision. I played games since the NES days and are used to difficult controls you need to learn.

Nowhere did I say this was a bad game. I think it's a good game, I just said that the controls killed the game for most, Wich is a fact and unfortunately the game sold less because of it.

It's too bad Star Fox zero pretty much doomed the series. It are the controls that killed the game for most. I still own the game but I just find it unplayable because of it. Hopefully the series will make a return on Switch 2.

Never played this one back in the day, as it was way more expensive then the PSone games. Definitely going to try this version.

@Jayenkai I still remember that space world 2000 tech demo, and after that the showed the wind waker design. There were a lot of angry fans. Funny thing, they pulled the same thing with Wii U. Amazing tech demo and after that wind waker. They have a cruel sense of humor sometimes.

So he looks less angry 24/7. Seems like they are going back to the NES/GB/SNES style with Mario. Unexpected to be honest, really thought they would go with the movie style. Looking forward to the next 3D Mario to see if that changes style to

Crazy, $1400 for a paper card is insane. How can a card be worth so much.

Nintendo always had these kind of characters in it's games, but in the West they were mostly changed or removed, this is finally changing. I don't think they are actively pursuing to add these characters in.

Always sad to hear a project is cancelled because of these reasons.

I hope the all the devs that experience this can bounce back and start enjoying making games again. Not every game needs to be bigger and better then the previous one. Somehow that has become the golden standard, but I'm positive that most gamers don't share that believe.

To be honest it outdid 3D world and Oddesy, the older ones not. Still think Galaxy is one of the best platformers out there.

I'm happy astrobot did this well, it means Nintendo will get competition on the platformer genre again, Wich only means good things for us gamers

I don't know what's more stupid, asking people for money to make a movie of an IP you do not have the rights for and market that. Or the people who give them money for a fan movie.

No why, who wants games on a console. What a ridiculous question.

He looks like Donkey Kong Jr from the SNES Mario kart.

I'm a early adopter junkie. I can't resist a new Nintendo or PlayStation console, I blame my childhood. There's nothing quite like opening up that box at launch, hooking it up to your tv and start it up for the very first time. It's a moment you really need to take your sweet time for, to cherish that moment.

It feels like yesterday I got this game and plugging it in my 64. Being amazed by the art of the title screen, and debating with friends Wich one is better, Mario Kart 64 or Diddy Kong Racing.

I voted Japan, I like the Mario art just a little more

@GrailUK could be, of the trailers are good they will. I always watch the great trailers countless times, and I'm sure others to. I for one can't wait to see what they show next.

@WheresWaveRace both Sony and Nintendo need each other as competition. That way they bring the best out of each other. So I hope both of them do well.

The PS5 also had seperate trailers for their PS5 games, so unless you count them to, the comparison fails. switch 2 only has one trailer. Don't really see the relevance in this newspost other then starting flaming discussion between fans of one and the other.

Anyway, great for Nintendo that the trailer is doing great. But isn't saying much. I must have watched that Zelda Wii U tech demo a thousand times.

Pure chaos. You will be bombarded with blue shells in the front. Can't wait for all the YouTube videos of people smashing the controllers.

Looks fine to me. Most likely matches the style they are aiming for more then the otginal. They wouldn't just change a iconic style so easily, If not with a good reason.

@Dazman Nintendo never sells at a lost, they always make sure they get a profit of their products. 450 sounds like a good price, don't really have a limit. I bought a PS3 for 600 so everything under that is great. As long as the launch games are great.

The storage space should be more then 256 GB. Especially for third party games. Nintendo always fits everything on the game cards but those need to be bigger to this time. Those leaked prices for 70-80€ games might not be so far-fetched.

Hopefully there is more then enough stock available to get one. It would also help if stores only sell one per person the first months to try and combat the scalpers.

They should have waited imo and go full reveal with amazing games along with it. But I guess the leaks forced them to reveal something. This felt like a rushed reveal, especially with 3 months waiting time for the rest.

I don't know, my head says I should be excited, but my feeling says no. Mario kart doesn't look that impressive. I know it might be a older built but still.. with a console reveal you might think you need to shine.

@ozwally I don't think Nintendo will ever change their mindset or approach. They always lived in their own bubble, and that works for them. Sometimes they stumble because of that like the N64 and Wii U, sometimes they manage like the GameCube and sometimes they hit high like the Wii and Switch (Even though the switches succes was partly thanks to the pandemic). Let's hope for them Switch 2 will also be a hit.

@VoidofLight if you skoop around YouTube all the so called experts are already making excuses for him. It's pretty hilarious and sad at the same time.

@sanderev I get your point, however just giving a game the same score as the original isn't fair to todays standards, especially when they ask full price of a new game with barely any difference to the original. That would mean they can release ocarina of time each generation with minor tweaks and get an instant 10/10 just because it got that score in 1998.

Those screenshots look terrible. I'm sure it looks better in motion but those screens.... They don't do the game justice.

All fun rumours, but this will definitely depend on how powerful the switch 2 really is.

If it's really only the hardware then that will be dissapointing to be honest. It's not going to look that different from the current Switch, leaks true or not.

I highly doubt that design was based on leaks and rumours. Why go to one of the biggest events to show new controllers based on rumours. You will never be taken serious as a company again.

Well what's done is done. Nintendo can't change this and they know the design is only a small thing of the reveal.

We don't know the deals Genki has with Nintendo, so maybe they were within their rights to do this. If this was against Nintendo restrictions, then I hope they enjoyed their five minutes of fame. Because then they showed they are not a reliable partner with this.

@Neckcrane the Wii U had a version of Tekken.

I'm interested in wich games SE has in store. Both tactics and FF IX remakes are rumoured.

Finally a controller worthy to go full Wolverine mode on then.

Let's all take a moment to appreciate this brilliant mind. He took the time to think about past console launches and just points out what happens every single time. This is something only a true analyst can do on social media.

@WiltonRoots wow, those comments are something else. Didn't really read this site much back then, I always thought the switch announcement and release was well received.

Well after each succesful console the big N drops the bomb on their next one for some odd reason. It's a tradition at this point.

I do think it's time for a true reveal soon, this and all the wishful rumours about the games for the system can't be good (except if all of is true) for it reception. It's weird seeing Nintendo so quiet with this situation, they always seem to be the most in control of what they show and release.

To be honest, all three are terrible. The Japanese one looks the most fun so voted for that.

@JohnnyMind congratulations on your birthday and your parents anniversary!

I'll be playing echoes of wisdom and some rounds of Mario kart with the kids.

Please no. This industry doesn't need to go to it's downfall like the film industry. It's not going to be great if every developer will start with a subscription service.

So it's exactly the same as the Switch. I highly doubt that Nintendo would do that.

Even if it only has a the power of a PS4 it will be a great leap from the current switch. As great as the switch was it wasn't that powerful compared to the Wii U, it might even be less at some points.

The greatest selling point for, and fir most the only, a Nintendo system is it's first party titles, it always has been since the N64. As long as that's the case they will be fine, might not sell as much as the switch but will be among the best selling Nintendo consoles. They should have take note of the PS5 and don't do cross gen games, it really decreases the value of a new console even if the games will look better.

Positive reactions of people who got paid to be there. Not sure these reactions can be trusted. If you enjoyed the first two and the Knuckles series this one will probably be good as well or better. Going to see this with my kids after Christmas.

I guess now we know why Metroid prime 4 was delayed. They couldn't get the shoulder pads right in HD.

I actually think the original GameBoy version looks better then the color. The original has a certain charm because of the yellow screen while the color version looks off to me.

Been playing fitness boxing 2 for a couple of months now and I'm enjoying the workouts.

However it seems that sometimes the joy con doesn't register the punches you make. @scully1888 is that still the case with FB3? And is it worth a upgrade if you have a previous game in the series?

Both parties tried screw each other over with this collaboration. Sony had some demands that wouldn't benefit Nintendo and so did Nintendo, this was the best outcome even in this harsh way.

And hey, we got the glorious Zelda CD-i games and Hotel Mario as a consolation prize.

I don't believe the joy con leaks are the real deal. I would assume Nintendo learned from the Wii U being seen as just a gadget for the Wii by the majority of casual non gamers.

Having the switch 2 looking nearly identical might have a downward effect as that same majority might just think it's an upgraded switch model with just a larger screen.

Might be prototypes for testing, but I'm not sure I believe they will go for the same design. Nintendo is known to switch things up with new console designs.

My initial response would be FF VII rebirth as it's carved in my memory as one of the greatest games and I really enjoyed rebirth. However imo they butchered one if the biggest moments in game history with that game. Haven't played the new Zelda yet.

My favourite this year is astrobot. It was just pure joy playing that game and it really took me back to the N64 and PSone days. Made me feel like a kid again.

If only they would make mega man 12 or X9.
