@Wewewi a Quick Look at Amazon UK, and just from that platform MK8D has sold two thousand+ units in the last month. A quick juke on Argos, and it was last ordered 33 minutes ago. Still shifting respectable number, and again that’s just a quick look at two retailers.
@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 ☺️
@LofiPie27 as a presence on the chart it is. I don’t care either way, I’m more amused that MK8D, a comparatively ancient, single platform game that has sold tens of millions, is higher than a new, multiplatform release.
@OorWullie he denied it! Aw mate that’s so funny. Sorry for your loss, I love that you can now have a chance to play it, I’m sure it would tickle your pal ❤️
@benmalsky198 hey, I like both my friend, and both are very popular, certainly, but Nintendo and Mario are operating in a different league. No big shame or disgrace, it is what it is.
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.
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 😆
Imagine that in the days, DAYS leading up to release, the reports were all copy and paste negative nonsense about how rough this was… and a lot of people just believed it. ‘Just because you read it in the magazine or see it on the TV screen don’t make it factual…’ those lyrics are dated because the medium has changed, but other than that, still sadly accurate.
@Suketoudara I’m delighted you loved Yoshi’s Island, I absolutely adored it back on the SNES, again on GameBoy Advance, and more recently through Nintendo Switch Online. One of my all time favourites, as are the Galaxy games!
@Yoshi3 my profile pic is me in New York earlier this year, I neither act nor feel 40-ish 😆 well, sometimes I do feel like it, went running last night and this morning I feel 60-ish 🤪
@The_Nintendo_Pedant glad you don’t think I was being rude, I just… worry about you 😅 you seem very jaded and it’s a shame, I don’t know what could rejuvenate your love and passion, but it currently ain’t happening and it’s a bit sad, really.
@The_Nintendo_Pedant well obviously it is justified, why would you know or see why? It is what it is, it’s no big deal and I don’t mean to be rude, but again, why would you know or be privy to the reason? This is modern gaming, if it was an option in the past when you and I were first gaming, it would have been the norm long ago.
@BrewsterTea I believe there is a soundtrack feature? ‘Listen to the soundtrack of each game from the main menu – 154 tracks in total!’ From Nintendo’s website
They’re riding high on the eShop prior to release, and honestly… deservedly so. I’d take cheaper, certainly, but these are, quite simply, two of the finest games ever made.
@Matt-e-r I don’t have a Switch2 yet! Well I do, but it’s for my son and it’s currently safely hidden away till Christmas 😆 Mario Kart World bundle. I’m saving up for my own, but I will wait till next year and let my son enjoy having the only S2 in the house for a while. Well done! Hope you enjoyed it
Nice to see, again, so many people play Mario Kart World, despite the negative narrative around it. That European Online Event is tonight, feel like @NintendoLife should have had at least a little reminder article about that, no?
My fortnightly 5K Parkrun done, (I work every other Saturday), 5th place, 22 minutes 30 seconds. My son has bought Silksong and is currently enjoying that, after an entire Summer of more or less nothing but Splatoon 3. I’m playing Pikmin Bloom and may get back to Super Mario RPG before the weekend is out.

Re: Japanese Charts: Little Nightmares III Makes A Respectable Debut
@Anti-Matter the Switch OLED alone outsold the PS5 family of systems. I hate to tell you, but that IS bad.
Re: Japanese Charts: Little Nightmares III Makes A Respectable Debut
Switch OLED alone is outselling the PS5 family of systems… all three SKUs combined. Incredible.
Re: Reminder: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Switch 2 Hardware Bundle Now Available
@SwitchplayerJohn what are you having a go at me for? I’m defending Nintendo here
Re: Reminder: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Switch 2 Hardware Bundle Now Available
@SpaceboyScreams not saying they’re above criticism, but it’s definitely fashionable to batter them for everything at the minute.
Re: Reminder: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Switch 2 Hardware Bundle Now Available
@SwitchplayerJohn it seems to be fashionable to knock Nintendo at this moment in time

Re: UK Charts: Mario Galaxy Loses Steam As Battlefield Blasts Onto The Scene
@WheresWaveRace Minecraft is also the Nintendo version 👍
Re: UK Charts: Mario Galaxy Loses Steam As Battlefield Blasts Onto The Scene
MK8D back in the Top10 😆 it’ll never die. Sonic Crossworlds, on the other hand, most certainly will.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sucker Punch Stops Mario Galaxy Soaring Too High
As much as I love to see NintenDOMINATION, it’s good to see a quality game like Yotei see success
Re: Sorry, Nintendo's Recent Pikmin Videos Aren't Hinting At Something More
It was really cute, I enjoyed it, especially when the Pikmin were added. My son actually said, ‘Dad why are you watching it again!’ 😆

Working today, but I will make some more progress in Super Mario RPG on Switch, and Pikmin Bloom as usual.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World

@BrewsterTea 👍
Re: Poll: Will You Play Resident Evil Requiem In First-Person Or Third-Person?
I’ll try both, and this game, barring it being a disaster, will be mine when I get myself a Switch2 next year. Buzzing that it’s coming.

Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Has Been Delayed On All Consoles

@TrogdorTheBurninator has to be @Anti-Matter!
Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Will Run At A "Fixed" 30fps On Switch 2
Stability is definitely more important, 30fps fixed over a fluctuating, uncapped 60. Stability, or better yet, options for the player.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th September)
