I don't think anyone's seriously considering it for an Oscar, just pointing out that it's technically eligible. Like I'm technically eligible to become president of the US, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna do it.

@Mario_maniac I agree with you entirely, but we're working within the lanes of reality here. I can almost guarantee that any subsequent movies will have the same approach to voice acting. I'd love to see actual voice actors elevating these roles instead of merely filling them (Bowser aside, Jack Black was great), but that's not the Hollywood way.

@HammerGalladeBro Peter Woodward voiced Dick Dastardly in the 2017 Wacky Races, which I just now learned exists.

@Shmorpmeistercorn Mike Patton has mainly only voiced monsters, which is kind of surprising considering his insane vocal range.

I do not need to revive my wallscroll era hahahaha

@HalBailman But... you re-run Rogue until you reach the end.

Risk of Rain 1 is getting remade and enhanced as Risk of Rain Returns, and as a 2D game is much better for controllers than Risk of Rain 2 is. I'm really looking forward to it! And Hades 2 is probably my most anticipated game of the year. They'll both make some very nice additions to this list.

@HalBailman Isn't the only real difference between modern and traditional roguelikes the presence of progression systems? I don't buy the claim there's "nothing" Rogue-like about roguelikes. The bones seem the same to me - you start with nothing (aside from the gradual upgrades/unlocks present in modern roguelikes), you die, you try again. I'd call them roguelites before "re-run". Rerun has a negative connotation.

- More speedruns of Mario are uploaded on YouTube than any other game series
- Over two million YouTube channels have uploaded Mario videos
- A new Mario video is uploaded on YouTube every 20 seconds
- Sixty percent of all Mario Maker views on YouTube come from Japan

Mhm, yep, that all seems pretty reasonable

- There are over two thousand channels dedicated to the Mario universe

Now that seems... weirdly low.

@Luigi420 Nintendo owns the music Koji Kondo composed for all the Mario games and he's credited, and also Kirkhope was credited for the DK Rap in all the Smash games, so this argument is a lot of nonsense. Watch the soundtrack credits for a movie sometime. They'll be near the end. The writers of the songs are always credited, as well as who licensed the use of the music, typically a record company for contemporary songs, but in this case the proper credits would've been Grant Kirkhope, Nintendo, and probably Rareware.

Okay, I won't. Where's the bad news?

@Snatcher But he DID try to play it off like it was unique.

@Horace You can't stereotype one person, stereotyping is a group thing. This would be judgment. 😛

@smoreon Through Steam, online is probably going to be even easier, and I look forward to that.

It's Minecraft, the box is covered in squares!

@stevep except it does magically connect, that's literally Link's new ability. He's magically connecting stuff.

I feel like Fuse and Ultrahand on their own are going to give me countless hours of entertainment. First example I thought of - strap a bomb barrel to a javelin, hurl it into a crowd of enemies, and laugh maniacally.

I definitely didn't notice the coordinates! That's huge for sharing secrets!

Shame to hear (though not surprised to hear) about RTTS continuing to be ignored in favor of the monetized mode, as RTTS is definitely the mode I play most. I love playing through the minor leagues.

@sixrings lol you haven't been reading many comments on TotK articles. though to be fair some of them get deleted

I'm getting really tired of people declaring this "BotW DLC" over and over while only knowing the most surface level things about the game. Today we saw four new abilities, two new enemies, and essentially one new location, and people assume "welp, guess that's all they're adding, what a disappointment"? It's ridiculous.

@SalvorHardin dude they showed ten minutes of gameplay with four enemies that had like 12 HP each

Just realized I'm going to be in a meeting when this trailer drops. Gonna have to silence my phone before excited friends blow it up

@Tempestryke I'm not really saying Zelda specifically, but sequels as a whole.

@Otoemetry I'm totally with you, but there's folks completely writing this game off because it's going to reuse some stuff from the first game, as if a new story, mechanics, and additional areas aren't more than enough to make up for the fact that they've seen these Bokoblin models before. It's wild.

@TheBigBlue Yeah, I sent that comment before realizing the troll's comments had been removed.

Have the people who keep crying over "reused assets" ever played a sequel before?

Edit: lol, looks like they got their comments deleted anyway

@FlaviusFire Huh, wish I'd gotten into it before its apparent death.

I'll be honest. I loved the 3DS since the day it came out until the Switch slowly took over, and recently after hacking it I've been playing it way more than the Switch.

I have no idea what Badge Arcade is.

@johnedwin Console sales, not game sales.

@TheBigBlue I wouldn't even say "almost" number 1. The three Switch models together are over 49,500 sales. PS5 at 40,400 between its two models ain't close.

Oof, less than 6500 copies? That's not going to make very many babies.

@Ulysses I would get over a small hub world. If there was like, a garage hub where racers would stand next to their customized vehicles? That's cool. I really just don't want another game in the Burnout Paradise style, where you drive through the open world to reach objectives which ask you to drive through the open world.

Hub worlds can be prone to bloat too - Fire Emblem Three Houses is a fine example. It had to implement fast travel for navigation of the hub world, which is just silly in my opinion. I am sure some find that immersive, but I find it annoying. Splatoon's hub worlds are a good size, and it's really nice that for folks like me who'd rather just scroll through a menu than walk to the menu, that option is there.

2K Games Is Looking To Take On Mario Kart With 'LEGO 2K Drive'
Oh? Interesti-
Includes 'open-world' elements
ZZZZZZzzzz

Arcade style racers are all I'm interested in. No need to drive to the driving game so you can drive. Just let us play the game. My favorite racing games all agree: Burnout 3 Takedown, Kirby Air Ride, and MK8D.

@sevex Yes, even had to play through some of the games to unlock the ability to purchase the DLC.

@lumothesinner @Max_the_German Did the 3DS suddenly become a sluggish, unusable console when themes were added? Of course not. I promise you, a 1920x1080 png in the background and a 128 kbps audio track are not going to turn your Switch into a TI-83.

And again, people (and not just you two, there's a ton of you on this thread that I'm addressing), themes are OPTIONAL. That means you don't have to use them if you don't want to. Why do so many of you celebrate the possibility being taken away? It's weird. Like, my phone has the option to be used as a mobile wifi hotspot. I've never turned it on and can't think of a reason I would. But you people in my position would get all pissed that the feature even exists. I don't get it.

@Max_the_German Nobody's forcing themes on you if you don't want to use them. Lots of people loved them on the 3DS, and now they're gone. The option to have them is obviously better than not having the option.

@a_brave_new_geek @Dom_31 you guys are stronger than me, I can't even get through the castle on BC1. Still absolutely love the game though!

@Bunkerneath We write 3/10/23 because we say "March 10th, 2023".

"Improved the performance of some characters and vehicle customizations."

Tell me more!! Come on, Nintendo!

@mcdreamer Honestly, my biggest disappointment with the service is the fact that Splatoon 3 and Pokemon DLC isn't included. I thought that was supposed to be the main selling point of this service, that more DLC would continue to be available for free.

I couldn't wait to play this... then my roommate got covid. We'll be waiting until she's better to take this one on, but I'm so excited to experience Yoshi's Island!

@Joeynator3000 You're right, someone should write an article about quality of life improvements.

@Fiskern I think more telling is the vast gaps between doing anything. His entire IMDB is:

Production Staff - Late Show with David Letterman, 2005
Writer - The Kings of Summer, 2013
ADR Script Consultant - Galveston, 2018

Not sure why this is the guy.

@Jamessmooth Oh, I'm buying it. 100%.

@JONOFTHEJONS Please don't flush condoms. Your plumber will cry.

What a cute pokemon, I wonder what the fanart is like!

@Kazman2007 They probably should've checked out Tenacious D before casting him then 😏

Yes. This rules, immediate purchase.

@gcunit You should get writer's credits on the game for this. Perfect.

Strongly recommend all three SteamWorld games, but they are notably also available on Switch. Depends how much you want to take advantage of a sale vs. how much you want to play on the current console.

@Kaoskillen I visited this site recently. It's pretty cool and surprisingly easy.

No dock design? Not even an OLED Switch? Why even make this?

@Sisilly_G $50 premium. Regular Switch is $300, OLED is $350.

I'm seeing 35,000 yen reported for this, so I'd expect to see around $300-$350 in the US for this.
