@NintendoWife Right, spot on. And they've made many updates to Run, even adding new events to this day. So there was a lot of mileage in the $10 or whatever I paid.
As we all know, just making more of something always works out well. Oh wait, I'm a Nintendo fan. I suppose it depends on what they do with the series.
..... okay, I looked. Great news for Rhythm Heaven. Though let's be honest, I don't think it sells that well historically either. Mostly a niche franchise, yeah? My point is that it may not be a RH vs. Star Fox thing. There could be any number of reasons. Hopefully they both do well, because I'd like to see both series continue!
@NintendoWife Oh, all right. I agree about Run. You could try it out first, and that was enough for me to feel comfortable with spending a relatively small amount on a Mario game. I'm satisfied with my purchase. I remember a lot of backlash - I hope you're sitting down - at the time about Nintendo charging that much for a mobile game, and how it wasn't worth the price, and blah blah blah. So it COULD be the reason they explored other strategies after that, but it is a shame. The games may have suffered for it, too. I'm not sure I've played any others that I enjoyed. Conversely, I was curious about the Pictonico game. But that demo was very limited, and I wasn't sure that the asking price was fair for the rest of the game. I've seen mixed opinions, so I'm still on the fence.
@NintendoWife Are you talking about Mario Kart Tour? I meant Dr. Mario. But I did try MKT, and it didn't click with me. I did enjoy Run though! I thought that was a fun little game. I liked the alternate style after all.
Play The Crew Motorfest anywhere*, when it launches on October 8 for the Nintendo Switch 2.
*An online connection is required to play the game.
Literally on top of each other. I just found it funny. I was going to say, I wonder if they'll do some alternate mode or whatever for Switch 2. But it appears not. Let's all remember that it is still a home console that you can take on the go. In that order. So, we get a few games where you can't go very far. Ah well. This sounds like it's a pretty great game! I just wish there weren't dozens of others that I'd like to play and have to pay for. Switch 2 "Game Pass" when?
Also, I have a thought for these comments sections. Any way you can make a filter so we can hide all the incessant complaining, particularly about GKCs, NSO, pricing, online, timed events, DLC, subscriptions, graphics, frame rates, Directs, article topics of choice, rumors, good-natured fun... Hm, I guess you'll need to filter every single comments section. But what a relief it would be! It is so grating.
@HammerGalladeBro I think so? But it's been a while for both that and Dr. Mario on mobile. I just remember thinking that the mobile game missed the whole point.
If they were completely shuttering companies, that might be one thing. But to be fired because you've been deemed a "redundancy", that's terrible. They're maintaining the value of the brands they own, while eliminating the people that built it up. "We'll just find other people who can do it, and most likely at a lower cost to us." This is just one example of what companies do all the time, and seemingly now with more frequency and reckless abandon.
@Rainz Yeah, that's good... And how their greed keeps us from getting any worthwhile games on their service or on S2. They've still YET to justify the price point.
@Potimarron Oh yeah, did you not know that? I mean, depending on the software, I think, but many of the GameShare titles work with S1. S2 streams to the other consoles. It's an amazing feature. One that I have yet to try.
Sweet! None of those really mean anything to me, but I'm glad they're staying busy. And hopefully it means that they are talented and good at their jobs. Looking forward to this!
Thanks for this preview! Even more excited now that you say it is everything we hope it will be. This game just looks SO COOL. And fun, to boot! Can't wait!
Wait, 24fps???! No buy for me. I can't believe you all are just willing to accept this level of laziness from the developers. With those visuals, Switch 2 should be able to do 60. This game isn't complex at all. Thanks, but I'll be getting this on my PS5. And no GKC, either!
WOW, what a make-good! I'd be happy to support them, but these kinds of games just aren't really my thing. I hope this has a positive effect for the game and the studio!
@neogyo Maybe. Yeah, at the very least, it has to be highly regulated with lots of oversight. I have to think we'll hit a course correction, at some point. The annoying thing is how we just wait and let things happen.

This was unexpected. 99 is so great. And I'm not really an F-Zero or racing fan. It's really well done.

Re: 1000xRESIST Switch 2 Rating Appears Online
So much high praise for this game. If it comes to S2, I may not be able to... RESIST it.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Re: Indulge In Some Pooh With Disney Dreamlight Valley's New Expansion
@rjejr I don't even know what Honeyglow is? From one of the Disney Junior shows?
Yeah, the ongoing package is pretty pricey. Does the gold pass or whatever include all of these?
Re: Indulge In Some Pooh With Disney Dreamlight Valley's New Expansion
Eeyore gross. You've now Roo-ined my appetite. Owl be going now.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Service Officially Ends This September
@BASEDSAKRI Wow, I don't hear that much. Happy for you and sorry for your loss.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Service Officially Ends This September
@NintendoWife Sorry, didn't mean that to come off aggressively towards you. I just remember feeling frustrated by the game. Glad you enjoyed though!

Re: The Crew Motorfest Arriving On Switch 2 This October
A game on Nintendo Switch 2. That's gonna be a "no buy" for me.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Service Officially Ends This September
@Cronodoug This is a weird analysis. The game's been out for 7 years. Aaaaaand everything you spend money on has a limit.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Service Officially Ends This September
See, this is why I only buy physical copies of mobile games.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Service Officially Ends This September
@NintendoWife That "Dr. Mario" game was the worst thing. It wasn't even how you play Dr. Mario!

Wow, awesome!! I think I've heard the Tomato game is good too? But yeah, thanks for the cool stuff, Nintendo!
Re: Crimson Desert Dev Working On Getting Switch 2 Version Up And Running
I'd be interested to see this work. Especially after the PS5 version comments.

Re: Two More Retro Arcade Collections Are On The Way To Switch
@HammerGalladeBro Appreciate that! I've gotta work my way through more games on those services.
Re: Bethesda Will Reportedly Shift Focus Over To Its Biggest Franchises
@neogyo Likewise. Yeah, people being vocal is always important.
I think so, too. Particularly if we just "let nature take its course."
Re: Preview: Orbitals' Cosmic Anime Co-op Made Me Feel Like A Kid Again
Thanks for this preview! Even more excited now that you say it is everything we hope it will be. This game just looks SO COOL. And fun, to boot! Can't wait!
Re: Preview: Orbitals' Cosmic Anime Co-op Made Me Feel Like A Kid Again
@TerribleTerabytes Fair, to a point. I just wish we could also play a game this fun solo, if we have no other choice.
Re: Preview: Orbitals' Cosmic Anime Co-op Made Me Feel Like A Kid Again
@Zeebor15 I hear you on that. Maybe I could finally convince a family member this time...
