Heck yeah. This game is honestly pretty fun. Definitely trying this out.

Well this is thoroughly unsurprising

Someone should ask Ubisoft if gigantic flops make the industry more fun.

The camera is unfortunately not worth it, so no.

I have literally never heard of this guy, so no idea how reliable he is.

Gee, I wonder if there could possibly be a direct soon announcing a release date.

Took it long enough lol. It's really good, if you like stuff like Portal, give this a try.

@nocdaes Tbf, handheld performance is a lot better than docked, and I'd imagine that's the way most wanted to play it.

I have no strong thoughts, but I'm guessing somebody who shows up in these comments will lol.

@Exerion76 Definitely a bizarre choice. My guess is it's leftover from when this was meant as a Switch 1 title, but they really should've scrapped it in favor of DLSS.

@Fizza Tbf, most of the Mario movie cast are legitimately talented actors. It was just that some of them were miscast.

@Zeebor15 Wait, there was a steel diver 3?

What an... odd controller review. Like, the drift complaint is especially strange imo, cause I've put in probably thousands of hours on my original pro controller without a sign of drifting. Assuming this one is the same,not should be completely fine. Just because a controller doesn't use hall effect sticks, doesn't mean it'll drift in like 5 minutes lol.

@harrystein Look, if you are actually interested in hearing an opinion on this, I'm not typing it all out. I don't have a time for that right now. The YouTuber shortcat made a pretty good video breaking down the many design issues of the intermission tracks. And no, I'm not basing my opinions off his video, I just find it to reflect mine pretty well. I'll link below if you're actually interested in the gripes I and others have

@harrystein Lol, I argue your point and you immediately get upset. Just an amusing observation, nothing more.

@harrystein Except neither of thos c things are usually faster. Straight drifting is an absolutely terrible strategy in this game.

This is delightful

Oh my goodness, it's an actual physical release. Shocking honestly

I have 50+ but probably won't play much more. The update really ruined it for me tbh.

I'm still kind of in shock the Xbox port is happening lol. I knew a lot of people wanted to but dang, never expected it to really happen.

Got to try the in-store demo today. It was delightful.

That's pretty sweet. Definitely looking forward to this one. Though it is annoying it comes out of the day after Bananza lol. Like give me some time to breathe darn it!

@N00BiSH In fairness, Galaxy was almost 20 years ago. I find it hard to believe that much of the team is the same as it was then.

Yeah, this one's gonna be good. I'm honestly fine with no 3d Mario for a while if this is as good as it looks.

The comment section on this article is absolutely embarrassing. People will really bend over backwards for billions dollar companies unfortunately.

@riggah Yeah no. A legitimate critique is not the same thing as racism lol.

I haven't really played much new on Switch or Switch 2 this year. Would've been Mario kart but we all know what happened there. So, fast fusion wins by default I guess? And then on terms of non-Switch games, I guess I would say Avowed. It was fun I guess. And if we remove the restriction of it releasing this year it would be God of War 2018. Can't believe I didn't play that game sooner.

Yeah screw that.

@TrogdorTheBurninator The sales numbers listed include physical copies and the bundle I'm pretty sure.

@SuperBro64 As someone who is very upset about the new update, there's two things I want to say. Firstly, don't let us ruin it for you. I'm glad you enjoy the game, even if I can't right now. But secondly, I'm going to keep complaining about it, because the only way this gets fixed is if Nintendo sees us being vocal about it. Trust me, I understand your sentiment, I felt the same way with Zelda totk when that released. But you just enjoy what you enjoy, don't let negativity ruin your fun

@datamonkey Not sure. It's unlikely any human literature survived into the post apocalypse we are in Splatoon, so it would be impossible for them to read any books we know.

@geiseldiesel The users on this site. It's based on average user score.

@Buizel I'm guessing it got a little review bombed over the 80 dollar price point.

It kills it for me at least. This destroys any interest I have to play online, which was most of what I was doing.

I would love to see a Splatoon game with ray reading. It would probably be insanely demanding, but it would be cool.

@Dr_Lugae Cause they're mostly straight lines? Same reason baby park is luck based (when you really think about it, most of that track is straight lines). I don't really find it takes much skill to take the obvious move and use your items to drive in straight lines through the off-road instead. Compare that to standard races where you have to manage sharp turns, item management is more important because bagging isn't as broken, and there are loads of shortcuts to learn and execute. And those shortcuts and alternate paths are the real difference maker. This is legitimately the first Mario kart where I have spent a significant amount of time doing time trials, because you need to learn how to execute all the wall riding and rail grinding to be at the top of the game. It's so cool, but now it doesn't matter, because you maybe get one lap if you're lucky.

Wooooo!!!! Tetris 99 yeah!!!!

@Dr_Lugae I've literally played them for hours, it's a crazy assumption to say I haven't given them a chance. And yes, they are mostly straight lines, you literally just have to look at the minimap to see it. I'm also not saying I completely hate them, but they're just not nearly as fun as standard three lap races. Additionally as I mentioned in a previous comment, they are way more lucky based due to the mostly straight driving, leading to them being frustrating to play in high VR rooms, where you can lose multiple races worth of progress due to unlucky item pulls.

@Dr_Lugae But the thing is that we tried "giving them a real chance", and they're worse. They're mostly just straight lines with little to no strategy or skill. Not to mention the nightmare that is bagging on the intermission tracks.

@Kilroy The intermission tracks aren't bad, but they suck in online play. They're just too luck-based to have any place in high VR online races imo.

I actually think the use case he's describing in this answer seems fairly reasonable, as they would serve to speed up development and not necessarily to replace people. Now if he's being truthful is another matter entirely.

@Joe11 The only real benefit I can think of is the ability to pre download the game, but I'm not sure that really matters with this game lol.

This game still looks really unfun if I'm being honest. Like others have said, a strong demo would do a lot. Only picking it up if it reviews well.

@Zeebor15 Um, it's not on the same day though? There's two weeks separating them. Also you can just get the Kirby dlc for 20, you don't need to pay the full price for the game again lol.

Stealing from a library is pathetic man

@Apebitmusic I suppose I am making some assumptions lol. But typically only their biggest games get dedicated directs, so seems like a safe guess.

Nintendo's compression continues to be absolute witchcraft lol. A game this big with a file size this small seems like it should be impossible.

"Fixed a bug where CPUs could be controlled by unused but connected controllers in certain minigames."

Wait that could happen?!?! That's delightful.

Still the same footage though. Definitely a direct coming with more info i'd have to imagine.

I'd give it a 9. It has my favorite controls in any Mario Kart game, an excellent track selection, knockout tour, and I actually enjoy the intermission sections (people calling them boring are whack, if anything they're too chaotic). But free roam is really undercooked, and it's a decent launch title, but BoTW it is not.
