What exactly do you mean by "older players" ? I'm 39 and don't particularly enjoy games like Doom and Wolfenstein as I primarily find 1st person shooters boring. I reckon I'm not alone and many from the 70's/80's generation like other challenges which perhaps resonate in what we were given in our childhood, just now with better graphics. I believe the "adult" genre like 1st person shooters are aiming at the teen market. Thus it is quite ridiculous to label Nintendo as a kids console. The teen kids I know of, all prefer the "adult" consoles, where they sit 12 hours a day and play the same boring "adult" games. Meanwhile the friends of mine around the same 40's enjoy Nintendo and those games you can't really get on "adult" consoles. Now what does that tell you?
@TG16_IS_BAE
I don't think it has anything to do with culture. Just like pointing arrows to show that this is what's common for all of them.
Well, except Alex, Shantae and Chun Li... and maybe Zelda. Why be consistent when you can choose not to be?
The screenshots gives no clue as to what the playable sections actually look like. This would mean I would have to read the article and use my imagination. Ohh lord
Some of the above excuses as to why you have not won yet is just ridiculous You do have options to direct yourselves towards certain courses, which is actually part of the strategy. Could it be that the everyday person just isn't good enough at playing Mario? It is a skilled platformer, so nothing to feel beaten up about.
I get that it's cool being able to design your own track 'n' all, but I bet the game itself will get boring after a very short time as it's basically going to be a poor man's Mario Kart. - And by poor I mean content-wise, the meat of the actual gameplay. Obviously not cost-related
Well that makes no sense. I was obviously referring to the fact that show wrestling as a form of theatrical entertainment should not be labeled as a sport, since it's not as opposed to greco roman wrestling. Yes, my statement was uncalled for and rude. It merely served as a mean to see if we still live in an era where we absorb every chance we get to feel offended. Thus my quest has been completed. And I never apologize. I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am 😉
It would be amazing. Mass Effect is THE greatest trilogy in gaming history.
It was as close to perfection games has ever come. Sure games grow prettier year by year and new things gets technological possible. But writing a great story in video games is a lost art. The only other franchise I can think of was Legacy of Kain. It's a shame the story is not the most important focus point in games now a days.
Can someone provide pictures/link to the sheets of available character sprites? I would like to know before buying, if the non human characters available are interesting enough for my project.
Those who claim Mario Maker 1 was not a great game has totally lost it. Just because something better comes out, does not maker the former less creditable.
So not only do you need to buy this twice to play multiplayer, but you also need two Switch consoles? That is ridiculous. Will definitely affect sales negatively.
During the Wii U era, Nintendo had to focus on quantity over quality. That is no longer the case, since plenty of 3rd party support for the Switch. I'm glad Nintendo almost always makes the right decision.
There is no doubt they will continue with a hybrid console next generation. The interesting thing to be seen is whether they can make sure not to fall too far behind technology and performance wise compared to the dedicated consoles.
It is actually quite remarkable that the Switch has pulled of such success, when it's no better performance wise than the now 15 year old Xbox 360.
Thank you for your detailed explanation. I had no idea that was the case. That does indeed make Xbox an interesting choice. To be able to play Morrowind again would entice me. Now think about an Xbox BC with Nintendo games as well. That would be the tits.
@ThanosReXXX I have to say that all this "backwards compatible" really sounds much better than it really is. The 360 was backwards compatible, but only very few original Xbox games actually played and performed like they should. A lot of great games didn't even start up, like Silent Hill 2 and Legacy of Kain. What I'm trying to say is, that never again will I fall for "backwards compatible" as a reason to choose one console over another. Neither should any one else. I bet all my dimes on history to repeat itself on that front.
The first one for Wii U blew me away. That game was so fresh that I couldn't believe it. I played so many hours and I got really good at it. Almost every stage was perfect and the variety was great. For some reason I didn't feel the same way about the 2nd game for Switch. Nonetheless my memories of the first game will serve as some of the best in my 30 years of console gaming experience.

Not much rock'n roll in there... as in nothing.

Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For Microsoft And Nintendo To Get Comfier With One Another
To be honest... I would not have purchased a Nintendo console if it wasn't for their 1st and 2nd party franchises.
The latest Nintendo console which was good enough for it's time for the 3rd party games alone was the Super Nintendo.
