Re: Takaya Imamura's Comment On Super Mario Odyssey's 8th Anniversary Makes Us Feel Very Old

This game is a masterpiece. I got my son his Switch, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2 and ARMS for Christmas 2017. It was just magnificent, we took our children to Disneyland Paris the following Febrand it was wonderful watching him play a game of that quality on a handheld device while travelling, then playing it myself in the evenings. Got my own Switch the following May… good times ☺️ We’re both still rocking our OG Switch by the way

@Beny9877 kind of hilarious how these so called ‘poor sales’ would be out of reach for the vast majority of games in their lifetime, never mind opening couple of weeks. My nephew has borrowed my son’s copy of Arceus in recent weeks and LOVED it, he was all set to get ZA and when I asked him yesterday, he said nah, apparently it’s awful. I think that’s awful. He would definitely enjoy it, I know he would, but he’s gonna deny himself it because of online discourse and ranting YouTubers.

@Supadav03 happy birthday for tomorrow! I have a Switch2 and MK World tucked away for my son for Christmas. He’s been playing a lot of Splatoon 3 and Pokemon recently, but what he’s really excited for is the new Hyrule Warriors game, so I’ll probably get that too before December 25th. I’m saving for my own Switch2, but I want my son to enjoy having it first so I don’t mind waiting till next year ☺️

Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me

There’s a gulf between these two franchises in general. They’re rivals, I guess, but… not really 🤷‍♂️ Mario and his games, in general, are on another level, quite possibly a level all of their own. It’s like, every now again, we have a new Michael Jackson… Chris Brown, the Weeknd, Usher, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, etc etc etc. It gets said every now and again, and it’s great click bait, but everyone knows, in their heart, there’s simply no comparison. Mario is leagues ahead, in every way, genre and popularity and he always will be.

Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?

AmplifyMJ

No… not yet. I have 3D All-Stars, so I have 100% Galaxy fairly recently. I have both on Wii, but firing up the Wii is not realistically something I’m gonna do. As excited as I am to play both again, especially 2, I’m also currently saving for a Switch2, so I will see if I can wait for a bit and experience it there. No guarantee I will wait though 😆
