They should sell other karts, so you could get Yoshi or Peach, etc...maybe even have some way to buy a second kart to play split screen multiplayer on ONE console...
FINALLY, all games need proper button mapping or camera inversion options to allow for inverting BOTH X/Y axis independently, I'm so tired of games that don't bother. Though equally, it's frustrating when a game doesn't have good sound settings, like Star Wars Racer where you cannot adjust the sound fx volume vs. music volume
Lately 100% docked, but back when I commuted on the subway, it was more split, but certainly the main selling point is the dual nature of the console, that it is great on the go AND in the living room.
Hmm, I enjoyed playing this one on WiiU back when that was the one and final EA release on WiiU before they abandoned the platform. I'd imagine this is a pretty straight port, of a decent game that I actually prefer over Burnout Paradise since at least it gives you an arrow and path to follow for each race instead of letting you just get lost like in Paradise. Still not sure about wanting to play a 10-year-old racer when they should instead just bring us the new NFS...
Considering it's literally 3 old game ROMs repackaged in an emulator that can run properly in 16:9 1080p (or just 720p for Mario 64) and then they want to charge $60 again, no thanks. It being a weird time-limited thing is also annoying and Disney-like of them.
Very excited for this, LOVED Horizon Chase Turbo and been enjoying their Playground events after having finished the World Tour with all Gold cups. Preordered after your positive review and hoping to jump in later
Now that there's Tetris 99 on here I'm not sure I care, I certainly barely play the original, and if so, it's to play Tetris vs. Tetris with my wife, never really got into the Puyo aspect as much
NO ONE SHOULD SUPPORT THIS RELEASE, or anything else that will profit Javier Chavez, a Nazi who crowdfunded the funds to buy the rights to Keen Dreams so that he could profit off ports to modern systems. Instead you should just download all the games for free online and play in DOS Box.
@techdude I have childhood memories of playing Circus Charlie too, but only emulated on a Super Joy we got from the mall and would take on vacations to plug into the TV...of course there were dozens of copies of it there, starting you on each stage to increase number of games.
They really should patch in the missing episodes later, also would be nice if you could swip the sticks in the control settings, but maybe I should try out motion aiming
@Priceless_Spork Okay, I looked through the PDF of the manual that Nintendo scanned/uploaded for the NES Classics and it makes no mention of this, though I do remember doing it as a kid, so word spread then too anyway.
I feel like I totally knew this from the start, was it in the manual even? Either way, no way my brothers and I could have made it through World 8 most of the times we tried without continuing from that world rather than starting fully over.
Wait, this is possible, that's awesome! Why doesn't Mario Kart or any other game do this? In fact, why can't you even msg ppl on the Switch itself in the least besides seeing when they're online?
Only way I'd play this game again on Switch is if they added a way to show the route above my head with an arrow or path so I know where in the world to go in each race.
Oh nice, I missed this on 3DS, though now I am thinking of charging it up and trying it out...or waiting for Switch, if only there was cross-buy, I'd buy it on 3DS today knowing I'd get to also play on Switch next month.
Tengen Tetris is superior mostly for the coop mode that has rarely ever appeared in any future Tetris versions other than the boxed retail copy of Tetris Party on Wii
No cloud saves is already a deal-breaker imo, but they must allow you to transfer it to another system...maybe it's okay I gave up Animal Crossing games for New Years many years back after being addicted to the DS version.
As many people have mentioned, anyone who just plays more matches will accumulate more points even if they're maybe not doing as well as someone who can't play ALL weekend, but did place well in the games they played in. I guess it would almost be more fair to set a point goal and then just randomly pick 999 players from those who reach that point level.
@XiaoShao That would be amazing, but first you'd have to resurrect Spectrum HoloByte, or hope Hasbro kept anything, and get the license. At least we have Star Trek pinball in Pinball Arcade (and Stern)
