What a painful list to scroll through. So much garbage to sift through. The Wii certainly has its gems but it seems it requires a lot of digging to find them.

I guess no one has played Space Station Silicon Valley

If it's not Crash Bandicoot, I boycott.

The answer is Sonic Generations, the one you conspicuously left off :-/

Good ol' Nintendo...always biting the hands that feed them. I don't care that much about some pins that will sit in a drawer but these kinds of shady practices are getting out of hand. Nintendo makes great games, but their business sense comes off as manipulative and greedy sometimes. And here I thought they were one of the good ones. :shrug:

@Zuljaras Exactly my thoughts. Physical release, it's not surprising but it boggles my mind why they'd remove it digitally. Yet another prime example why digital is worse than physical. At least after the digital game is taken off the eShop, people can still buy secondhand physical copies (albeit at a premium price)

Nintendo: a scalper's best friend

I loved Hexen. Never played Heretic or Hexen 2 (didn't even know there was a Hexen 2...) though. This looks awesome so I'm sold!

Disappointing that no Switch port but I'm keeping my eye on this one because I LOVE Jet force Gemini!

Nothing of interest for me here. Oh well.

@Clammy that's what happens with successful consoles unfortunately 😕

Everyone who says they need to focus on MK8D or MK9 instead of this mobile junk is completely right. I 100% agree. However, the mobile game is made by an entirely different team than the core Nintendo team that normally makes the Mario Kart games. It's unfortunate but I too wish they'd add more characters and courses in the proper MK entries.

1. Paper Mario (N64)
2. Thousand Year Door
3. Origami King
4. Super Paper Mario
5. Paper Jam (technically not a PM game though)
6. Color Splash
7. Sticker Star

Honestly as much as people love to complain about the series I love them all... Except Sticker Star.

Wouldn't be surprised if true. How does one go from making an excellent unique and charming game of a new IP to slowly destroying the franchise with each iteration. Why? Chibi Robo never got the chance to shine. Zip Lash was not a very good game and it was an even worse Chibi Robo game. RIP Chibi Robo.

I see nothing wrong with the inclusion of hand holding easy modes. So what if people want them? Let them use them. I usually enjoy a challenge but sometimes I want to relax and play something easy.

@Muddy_4_Ever Cuphead does have an easy mode.

If I was 10 I'd probably be ecstatic but as an adult I'm not interested.

I said 1996 simply because of N64 and some of the best games on SNES. Runner ups are 1991 and 2017 though.

I voted 2016 because at that point it was painfully obvious how done Nintendo was with Wii U. They didn't even try. 2012 was pretty bad as well with the Wii being pretty much done and just waiting for Wii U at that point. 2006 again wasn't great, another transitional year. 2020 isn't over yet so I can't say it's been the worst but at least there's a legit reason why 2020 has been very slow. What was their excuse in 2012 and 2016? Many people would say "well new consoles coming soon in those years why make an effort to save them? Well SNES and NES were fantastic still the year the following console came out and even N64 had some really great hits the year it was discontinued.

@Snatcher Yes, I absolutely love the series. Probably only my 2nd favorite franchise to Donkey Kong Country. I recently 100%ed the N Sane Trilogy as well. The first game almost drove me insane with those bridge levels!

Japan's is logically the best but I had to go with North America's just on the iconic absurdity of it.

Yes Nintendo, creativity is always a bad thing.... 🙄

@Doktor-Mandrake Exactly. Don't fix what isn't broken. Crash of the Titans changed the formula and it wasn't good. People wonder why all the Mega Man's and all the 2D standard Mario games play the same... because the formulas work. Lots of Crash hate in this post. Oh well. Can't please em all.

Also don't let the presence of microtransactions bother you. It seems it's purely for cosmetics. I'm completely fine with that, it's optional stuff.

I'm getting it day 1 of course on PS4 but I'll double dip on Switch if it comes down to it. Can't get enough of Crash!

Yo! Noid feels left out.

8/8 easy quiz. I knew Larry was the youngest but I can't remember where I read it. I remember reading something about him being the favorite and the baby of the group, so Bowser gave him World 7 in Mario World, so he got to be closer to Bowser.

WayForward? More like WayBackward. I don't think I could be less interested if I tried. Still if there's one person out there who'll enjoy this, I hope they do.

Looks fun. Hopefully I don't forget about it by the time it comes out.

@mr12calvin Sadly there is no physical release.

@Ewaldus I'm with you! Ketchup is overrated.

One of my favorite franchises ever. I own em all on PS4 but I wouldn't say no to portable versions of 2 & 3. Playing through the first one for the third time right now actually.

A prime example of why I hate mobile games. It's super shallow and only designed to get people to spend, which I of course won't give them a dime. I don't necessarily have a problem with games being designed for phones but the freemium model is just disgusting especially since this and similar games offer so little even after you pay.

I dont know why anyone would be surprised about this. To anyone who has played and loved an Animal Crossing game before this game will be a dream come true! More customization, more stuff, more Animal Crossing, the series just keeps getting better and better and better! I cannot wait to play this!

@YinYangYoshi I'd buy that in a heartbeat. That and Samus's gunship.

This is not really what I had in mind when I heard Lego x Mario was happening. I'm sure kids will love it, but I won't be buying it.

I knew this day would come, as foretold by the Lego-like levels in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins!

God I can;t wait!

Then how do you explain the fact that I have go out stomping on turtles and mushrooms every time I play a Mario game?

Disappointing but honestly I still love the game. I know the Switch version has been rocky but it's the closest thing to a new Castlevania these days (it might as well be a Castlevania) and I really enjoy it.

@MasterGraveheart I still have my fingers crossed for that Afternoon Collection on Switch.

@FullbringIchigo I wish they would rerelease ReBirth. That one is so good. One of my favorites, honestly.

Nothing would please me more to see brand new NES, SNES and N64 consoles and games being sold in stores. Many people (myself included) already still retro consoles and games, and having brand new ones (at a reasonable price of course, not the ridiculously high prices some games go for) would be amazing. I know it would never happen so the most nostalgic thing I can do is walk into a retro game store while they still exist.

@Spoony_Tech Agreed and that's what Kickstarter is supposed to be. But I guess not anymore. :-/

@Spoony_Tech Yup. Could've just had people take a survey or sign a petition for free instead of making people speak with their money. I feel like that's pretty shady of them to do a kickstarter for a game that's already basically done and by a company that doesn't need the money. Glad I didn't back this.

Three Houses by far is my favorite. I was never really a big fan of the series but have played most of the games. Three Houses has made me appreciate the series more. Echoes is a distant 2nd place though.

I love how people assumed that we would be getting double the games since handheld and home console development are now combined. I'm sure Nintendo has SOMEthing up their sleeve but it would be nice to at least give us that reassurance and tell us. Right now it's looking like Animal Crossing is it until E3 which...wouldn't be good. They already had severe dry spells in the Wii U. Please don't repeat that.

Awesome games. Now we just need the Legends Collection and Battle Network Collection and we're all set!

Looks like Daytona USA. I'm in! We need more arcade racing games.
