@Fighting_Game_Loser By spending more than that stuff makes.

Since I'll seemingly never win a race, I don't think I have to worry about coming across White Land II.

Final boss?! lmao I need to play this more apparently

@JagGentlemann It's a $5 game, I'm not really expecting anything deep!

@HarmanSmith The amount of times during the beta phase that I was near 100%, took a couple weeks off, and came back to find massive updates was a weird mix of frustrating and exciting. This game seems uniquely easy to develop additional content for, which is definitely a good thing.

what lol just play the game or don't, it doesn't have to be bigger than that

also the fire temple was my favorite one because of how open and sequence-breakable it was but maybe that's just me

@abbyhitter Same, I'm pumped up enough already.

So nothing new was showed in the overview trailer? Saved me six minutes.

@RainbowGazelle I'm the opposite, wasn't interested until I saw the word "roguelike"

@MedusaMadman77 I don't give a damn about F-Zero, this is the first one I've ever played. Good speedrun, though.

You're just making wild speculation based on extremely flimsy "evidence" and won't even explain your main point. I'm done with this until you do.

@MedusaMadman77 Yes, those are all very negative and real things about games with microtransactions and gacha mechanics, which F-Zero 99 does not have. FZ99 doesn't have "fomo tactics", it doesn't even have events to miss out on so far, aside from this grand prix thing which is going every half hour. And you haven't explained how it's more addictive than any other games, you just keep pointing at it and saying it's addictive. And again, whether people play it or not Nintendo is not making extra money on it! It's not a monetized product! So what on earth are you on about?

@NomDragon Because it ends after four laps. The survival mode games figure to go until the last man standing. 20 laps if it's still five eliminations per lap, and who knows if that'll still be the mechanic

@MedusaMadman77 Dude what?? The 99 model is hardly a plague on gaming. How is it inherently any more "addictive" than any other game? It's not as if it has microtransactions or gacha mechanics. At worst F-Zero 99 is just an attempt to get more people to sign up for a Nintendo Online account, which is $20 a year and gets you actual games and, you know, the ability to play games online. There's absolutely nothing darker going on here.

@OrtadragoonX I've won more than a handful, but my best in Invictus was barely top 20, iirc. I don't know the T-spin meta and still just go for Tetrises, so modern competitive Tetris has unfortunately left me behind.

@MedusaMadman77 who hurt you

I really hope this game updates with remappable controls soon. The B button on the joycon is the last face button I would've chosen for acceleration. A would be better, but ZR would be best. I know that there's a spin move on ZR, but that'd be better suited for a face button. Holding down a trigger for racing games just feels better than a face button. I'm not super hopeful as MK8D still forces the A button for acceleration, but... I can still whine, damn it.

(and don't tell me about global remaps, that's a non-solution. you shouldn't have to dive into the main menu every time you want to play a different game in a way other than the default control scheme)

A fair chunk of these aren't really "announcements" as they already have been in previous Directs, but I voted for Warioware regardless because my GOODNESS that game is important to me. I am so ready to act like a moron with all my friends like back on the Wii.

Why a remake? Couldn't they have thought up a few new stages? Or, as they're going the remake route, go for broke and put a couple more games from the series on here alongside the original? This is tough to swallow at $50.

@fenlix For motion controls.

I'm not a huge F-Zero buff or anything but this looks great and I can't wait to play. The fans, though... They've been starving for decades and Nintendo finally serves them a single baked bean on a fancy platter. It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic. Still, that's one tasty-looking bean.

@LilyGoMEOW I'll always stand by my opinion that it's not an "incompetence issue", it's an issue with Nintendo constantly pushing GF/TPC to release a game every holiday season. If they were allowed enough time to finish their games, they'd be finished.

Toadette. She's pink, you see.

@Diowine I don't think Game Freak had any direct involvement with the development of the game. The developer is Creatures, though I'm not sure how closely they and Game Freak are linked. Creatures makes the 3D Pokemon models and animations in the mainline games.

@TheBigK Yup, this was my thought. They're protecting the new actor from crazy folks online making threats for daring to take a job that was offered to him.

@Spider-Kev Those actors aren't exactly accepting new work...

@Gofixmeaplate the last option on the poll.

The badges got me excited, and then immediately my hopes were dashed by limiting them to one per stage. Oh well, at least it'll introduce some variety.

Another article, another ridiculous Anti-Matter take.

@HotGoomba He's not joking. I don't think he's capable of joking.

Just in time for the 15th anniversary of the game's release on 360!

That's actually... Not as long ago as I expected.

@FatWormBlowsASparky I hope it somehow gets the Star Fox 2 treatment and gets released anyway, but as Mother 3 still hasn't achieved that, I know it's not a realistic hope.

@Joeynator3000 The only reason I am still bothering is I don't know how to quit. But having not taken competitive seriously since gen 5, the loss of all traces of engaging postgame content is nearly pushing me to that point. I'm really only still hanging around to do nuzlocke challenges.

Love this game. Wonderful soundtrack, and perfect for challenge runs. The game got points docked for being "too easy", but there's no reason you can't do a run where you build decks specifically to be evenly matched with your opponent, or even put yourself at a disadvantage. Monotype challenges and even single evolution lines are capable of taking this game on. Paraspectre on Youtube has done a ton of challenge runs, from using the Paras line only to an Easter special using only lines having to do with eggs. You can easily make your own difficulty here, same as any Pokemon game.

@HammerGalladeBro What influencers are doing with a game should have zero impact on whether you enjoy it.

TCG rules. One of my favorite gameboy soundtracks alongside, of all things, Tamagotchi.

@Joeynator3000 If we even get that!! S/V doesn't have a damn thing!

@EaglyPurahfan What you're missing here is that it doesn't look like a friggin' gamecube game! Go back and turn on your gamecube and put literally any game in it, then go back to S/V. Make sure your eyes are open for both. It's night and day. Seriously. I'm tired of people rewriting history. I'm not saying that S/V look good. I'm saying that you have no idea what a gamecube game actually looks like.

Put a Battle Frontier in the DLC and you have my purchase day one. Otherwise I've gotta hold off.

So... I'll be holding off until I see the reactions to it.

@EaglyPurahfan The goalpost of "looking like a gamecube game".

@EaglyPurahfan keep on moving those goalposts

@EaglyPurahfan You literally posted an image with draw distance the Gamecube couldn't even dream of.

Gen 10 announcement - NO THANKS. I really hope that Nintendo realizes that faith in Pokemon dwindled with the release of S/V. Next game needs to spend more time in the oven. I'm certain that Game Freak would rather have more time, but Nintendo wants that money wheel to keep turning. I just don't know if I can take another product that was rushed out the door early.

S/V DLC - If we don't get a release date for DLC 1 then what is this Presents even for? 100% chance this gets announced. I expect a large chunk of this Presents to be focused on both DLCs.

New games - I honestly don't expect one. The year after Sw/Sh came out, we only got DLC. I assume the same for this year. Barring Gen 10, there's also Legends and remakes. Of those, Legends would surprise me less, but I'd still be pretty damn surprised.

Detective Pikachu Returns - Never played the original, but I'll probably play this. This'll be another big chunk of the Presents.

NSO - Come on. Put the old games on it.

Mobile games - These sure will get updates and coverage. Yup. Good for them.

Left field - Pokemon Conquest 2 or remake. Please. I'll give you whatever you want.

@EaglyPurahfan You have zero memory of what Gamecube games actually looked like.

I adore it. Building stuff is so damn fun, traversal is way better with Tulin, and the final boss fight is a MASSIVE improvement over BOTW. It's probably my favorite final boss in Zelda, up above the Demon Train from Spirit Tracks. I'm honestly pretty surprised by the amount of huge, long complaints here.

@shaneoh Your avatar is fun, what's it from?

Don't tell that one guy who wants all accessibility options destroyed for all games because a game read the menu selections to him ONCE before he turned off the option.

This is like dim sum night at Wallace Shawn's house!

@Ooccoo_Jr Getting around a rupee grind made my experience better, not worse. Doesn't affect you if I cheat in a single player game. I already showed my appreciation to the devs by buying their game.

@DwaynesGames I'm working with Chrome on a desktop.

Absolutely off topic but this wouldn't be on topic anywhere - does anyone else have problems with their top left burger menu on NL? Normally this is where I click to see my notifications but for the past week the only option under the menu is Manage Topics.

@NinjaNicky I don't know what he said as I'm blocked, but I guarantee it's not sarcastic.
