Very interesting. Would be cool to dock the screen with all the power in it and use the second screen to play DS games and asymmetric games like Nintendo Land on the TV. Who knows though.

@mattitudemf Good to hear and thanks for the info. If it’s good lasting material it’s worth the price!

Really cool. I’d consider the Eagles one if they weren’t $32-$38 a shirt. I’m guessing that doesn’t account for shipping, either lol.

Mario Wonder should arrive in the mail tomorrow but I won’t be playing it until next Tuesday as I’ll be on vacation. Looking forward to playing it next week, tho!

@RasandeRose 💀

Kinda hate the new one but it’s not something that I care much about lol

Edit: I do like the new kung-fu face, that’s a lot more expressive.

Yeah, about what I was expecting. Not bad but nothing particularly that good, either. There are way more deserving Pokémon spin-offs they could’ve tasked the devs to make but here we are with this lol

@Not_Soos Yeah, the hype and marketing around Mario Wonder and Mario RPG makes me forget about WarioWare sometimes. Plus other big games on other platforms, like Forza and Spider-Man, are taking attention as well.

But I agree, Smooth Moves is one of (if not) the best games in the series. And after the good, but underwhelming, Get it Together… this should end up being a nice return to form and one of the best in the series. Here’s hoping haha.

I’ll watch to video later when I have time but judging from the article, it looks like a great time. I love WarioWare. However, Get it Together, while still a great game, felt too repetitive to me.

That game had limited controls since you were stuck to a handful of character move-sets. Plus some micro-games just didn’t feel built around a lot of the character’s controls, making it feel like you were fighting against the game rather than playing along with it.

With Move It, they’re going back to the classic structure of every micro-game controlling differently and I’m pumped for it!

Plus, I love the tropical island theme. Anything that reminds me of Hawaii gets bonus points haha.

Mario Wonder I’ve got pre-ordered through Best Buy’s buy 2 get 1 deal. Sonic SuperStars I’ll pick up once it gets a bit cheaper.

Fall Guys has been feeling more and more barren recently. They removed seasons, player counts per game, and they rarely have events anymore.

This news of layoffs didn't help... but I'll remain hopeful. I think if they lower the scale of the game and focus on the basics, the game can swing back. The core gameplay is still fun but they kinda shot themselves in the foot by focusing so much on Fall Guys creative and vaulting rounds.

If they focus on bringing back more rounds, having regular events, and having some cool fame passes (which are reasonably priced now)... I think the game still has a solid future. The upcoming Halloween fame pass looks great.

Maybe I'm just optimistic cause I like the game haha but here's hoping.

I liked the main game but I was hoping they’d address the visuals, bugs, and performance issues. As it is, it’s a great game that is plagued by a ton of technical issues.

However, I’ve heard nothing but bad to mediocre things about the DLC, both online and from friends. The DLC is a hard pass for me, and this “physical” edition not including all of it on the cart is a joke.

I get they want a holiday release, and this makes sense financially. But it’s a slap in the face to series fans and collectors.

I’ve only played 2 online rounds so far but I got around 30-something then 20-something. I’ll give it some more time soon, it’s a lot of fun if a bit chaotic.

@YoshiFR2 sorry lol it’s been like 15 years since I played it on my friends gba

Great game. I played it on my friend's GBA back in the day and remember it being fun but confusing since I didn't realize it was open-world haha.

I wish they weren't drip-feeding us with the releases but I'm excited to play this one.

Visually looks great. It’s not enough for me to pay $50 for a GBA game that isn’t terribly long, though. I have the original and even with the bonus worlds, I think I managed to beat this game within 7 hours or so. Plus the gameplay is pretty basic. It’s good but I’m waiting for it to go to $30ish… if it ever does haha.

100% Getting: Princess Peach Showtime, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, and Paper Mario TTYD

I’ll get Mario vs DK too but I’ll wait for a discount. I think the $50 price is a little steep.

• Insane microtransactions that are shoved down your throat and are almost necessary for MyCareer without insane grinding
• Introduction of paid season passes
• Removal of a story in MyCareer
• Basically nothing new game mode or gameplay-wise aside from Mamba Moments (which seem worse than last years Jordan Challenges)

Not only is it not worth upgrading from 2K23, but 2K24 is actually somehow WORSE than that game. You’re best off getting a cheap copy of 2K23 and updating the roster using the community feature.

It was a decent showing. Paper Mario really saved it at the end. Without it, I think people would’ve been really upset.

But I’m happy. I’ve been asking for a return to form for Paper Mario since Sticker Star came out in 2012. It’s been over a decade since I’ve been dreaming of either a new game in the old style or a remake of either of the original titles. Now, we have the n64 version through NSO and an HD remake of TTYD releasing… it’s kind of surreal for me!

The other thing that surprised me was how good Peach’s Showtime looked. It looks kinda like Yoshi’s Crafted World and Luigi’s Mansion 3 had a baby. Lots of creativity and I love the theming. I was intrigued before but now I’m hyped!

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD (dropping the Dark Moon subtitle here in the states now) looked great too. I mean, it’s nothing crazy. Just an upressed version of the game. But it’s one of my favorite 3DS games so I’m stoked to play it on the big screen in HD. The 3DS feels cumbersome nowadays. I just might wait for a sale unless they really pump up the visuals between now and release.

I definitely want to play the Mario vs Donkey Kong remake but $50 is just too much for it. I enjoyed the GBA original back in the day but given its simplicity, I’m waiting for it to drop to $30 or so unless I can get it in a Buy 2 Get 1 sale.

And that’s about all I cared about. The new Contra game looks interesting, I suppose. But yeah, that’s about all I got.

@NIN10DOXD Oh jeez, I thought this would be a budget game but I just checked Nintendo’s site… it’s $50. This should’ve been $40 max, and even then I still wouldn’t have purchased it til it dropped to $20-$30 territory. A basic remake of a small (but good) GBA game isn’t worth that much.

@FoxyDude Agreed. New hardware is imminent. The easier to develop remakes like Luigi’s Mansion, Mario vs DK, and Another Code show that.

At least Paper Mario is a big game that looks visually impressive. But it still didn’t need as much attention in terms of game design as a new game.

@Jigglypuff439 Yup. The Peach game looking great and the TTYD remake really saved it to me. Otherwise it was very meh.

@N00BiSH I don’t mind remakes, but remakes of games that can easily be thrown onto NSO is what bothers me. I love this game but I don’t think I’d pay more the $30 for this considering I have the GBA original still.

I’ve been waiting almost 20 years for another traditional Paper Mario game… FINALLY!!!

This announcement made a mediocre direct into a fantastic one. I’m unbelievably hyped for this!

I’m pretty sure it’ll just be smaller stuff until the new hardware is revealed next year.

• Mario vs DK
• F-Zero
• More info on Peach game and Luigi’s Mansion 2

I’m hoping for me more but I don’t see anything else major getting announced. I hope I’m wrong lol.

I'm gonna get it but only when I'm ready to play it. Kinda busy with some other games at the moment so maybe a couple weeks after launch. We'll see.

Just optimize 3 for the Switch 2, maybe even release a Splatoon 3 Deluxe, and focus on other game franchises for a bit. Splatoon 3 is a great game that should get multiple years of life.

I'm going to go back and forth between Mario and Toadette.

Woweee Zoweee!

I’m unable to add this to my game collection as the release date was never updated

Damn, if these had OLED displays I’d actually consider picking one up. Really don’t like the idea of them going back to LCD, or at least basic LCD panels after having my Neo QLED TV and using my brother’s OLED Switch.

Seems like it’s good stuff. The Treehouse gameplay looked fun too. This and Spider-Man 2 dropping on the same day is a little overwhelming, though lol

“they would always fight over who gets to play Peach”

Now they get to fight over Daisy lol

… or Toadette. I’m most excited to play as her without any Peachette or easy mode strings attached.

Given Sonic reviews well, I’ll pick it up in the future when it’s cheaper. Mario is day 1, easily.

Tbh I was expecting 720p-900p 30fps. Seems like a solid port… but just a port. Lol.

I probably won’t watch it live but I’ll check it out. I think the game looks fun and promising so far. This is going to be one packed holiday season for all platforms.

I haven't played Unite in a long time but maybe I'll fire it up again this week. I remember having fun with it for a while.

It would make total sense for the other game to be Metroid... which is why it might not be cause Nintendo is silly sometimes. I'm guessing it is tho lol.

I’d be shocked if it wasn’t backwards compatible, in fact I’m hoping some Switch games get optimized for the new hardware lol

@Axecon Same. I’m still holding on hope for a Mystery Dungeon Explorers DX to get announced. That or just a new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon entirely.

They coulda just dropped all this on twitter and had a couple YouTube videos drop along with it.

Also, they should have Pokémon Presents only when they have an ample amount of substantial content. This year we probably didn’t need any. However, some years, one or even two could be warranted depending on what’s coming out.

Just realized it took them just about 11 full months to finally drop Stadium 2 since the announcement: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/09/more-n64-games-are-coming-to-the-nintendo-switch-online-expansion-pack

Glad it’s finally here, though. Excited to play through the single-player modes and have some fun mini-game sessions with some friends.

My expeditions were insanely low. They were surpassed, I suppose. The DLC does look interesting. Nothing insane, but good. I’m also excited for Pokémon Stadium 2 finally showing up on NSO.

Presentation was way too long but hey, I’ll take what I can get given I went in expecting nothing lol.

If we’re gonna be drip fed spin-off titles, at least give us Pokémon Pinball.

@Waluigi451 I don’t either. Guess it’s a lot of simping but I don’t wanna dig into that rabbit hole.

I think it’ll launch with Metroid Prime 4, which will be a cross-gen game. A 3D Mario and/or Mario Kart 9 will launch for the holiday season.

I got this bookcase cabinet thing that has doors on it. So when it’s shut it just looks like a nice piece of furniture. Open it up, and it’s gaming galore. It’s a little cheap feeling but it does exactly what I need it to do.

Cool. I’m interested to see more of the DLC as I thought the main game was great (performance and visuals aside). I’m not expecting anything else from the Showcase, though.

It looks really good and reviews have say it’s great. I’m in no rush but I’ll snag it in the near future.

@Uncle_Franklin Same here. I can easily purchase them digitally or play them on Dolphin but I’d rather wait for the physical release so I can play them in HD on my living room TV… and I just prefer physical media when possible.

I have a lot of games in my backlog to play in the meantime but I find it really weird to release the physical remasters two months after 4.
