I already have the game preloaded, but after my sister and I play some co-op I will be loaning it to my friend in exchange for his copy of Expedition 33. I have a Switch 2 and DKB, he has a PS5 and E33, so it all works out nicely, and we are both super excited!!
I expected a negative review of the controller or something based on the title only to learn that it is a bad controller because you can't tear it to shreds easily? I am a tad confuzzled....
Calling it now, at least 47 people will call for boycotts "because this $70 game wasn't even made for Switch 2! If you buy it you are a Nintendo fanboy who will anything to please your corporate overlords!" But hey, just like with MKWorld, I am excited anyway! And hopefully like that game, it will be super fun!!
Used a pair on TotK and Mario Wonder a while back, but Im not too upset about this. It was inevitable, and honestly most of the time you can wait for a sale/buy used for equal or better deals!
@N00BiSH is it what I would pick to get a remake? Not even in the top 10. But... Id buy it if it happened (I know, I am part of the problem lol). Seriously, imagine this game in 4k!
@sketchturner Fair enough, but considering that I actively find myself groaning every time I move the camera, can't stand how slow the dialogue is, do not like the jumping, I'd say it's a pretty bad "menu" haha. I will continue it for a bit, but like I said, I just don't want to commit to 5 hours of it if the whole thing is going to be like this.
@OrtadragoonX That's good to know! @Picola-Wicola Yeah, honestly that is one of my biggest gripes haha! I changed the camera controls via the app settings but they are still a pain.... @sketchturner Right now I am still on Outset Island; I really am not getting into it enough to make much progress before playing something else haha.
I dont mind either way, but on the topic of GCN games, I began Wind Waker the other day and need to know: does it pick up after the intro? Thus far I am having zero fun, if Im being honest, and I do not want to spend more time with the game if the whole thing is like this....
I understand why comments were disabled on the Canada NSO article, but I feel the need to mention that the title was very clibkbaity. 'Canadian NSO Prices to Rise' would have been more appropriate and less obviously trying to force readers to click on the full article.
I just hope these people don't expect a metacritic review to be what convinces Nintendo to change lol. I love the game so far, but apparently a vocal group doesn't. (Saying "group" because I really can't tell if it is the majority or the minority lol, they're just really loud)
@Solomon_Rambling never played it but from what I have seen, Cult of the Lamb might fit the bill for a cosy Roguelike so Id say your guess about a cosy horror game is possible--going back to my analogy, just like animation doesnt have to be for kids, cosy games arent exclusively "cute" either! I must say, this discussion has been a lovely online interaction, which is sadly becoming a rarity... Thank you!
@ozwally @Solomon_Rambling @dugan also true! I suppose “cosy game” is like “animation” in that ppl try to use it as a genre, when really it’s a style. For example, Into the Spiderverse is an animated Action movie, Tangled is an animated RomCom, etc; meanwhile, Animal Crossing is a cosy Life Sim, and there are also cosy Rhythm games, cosy Platformers… They’re all different, but are seen a certain way!
@dugan @Solomon_Rambling good question! I was obsessed with ACNL as a 13yo but when I bought ACNH at 16 I was bored instantly; I havent touched it in ages. Meanwhile, I cant put Palia down! That could really be an interesting Talking Point or evem a Feature--at the very least, a Poll!
@JohnnyMind I've gotta say, I always enjoy reading your comments. I know it's unrelated to the game/article, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate that you always articulate your thoughts and even when you disagree with/dislike something, you are respectful and fairly positive about it!
This generation of games has produced some of the most disappointing sequels to some of favorite games:
Sports Story
Mario + Rabbids 2
Switch Sports
Blossom Tales 2
Tears of the Kingdom
That could be a great article start. Most disappointing sequels to great games.
Never played a Sports Story game, nor Blossom Tales, but by golly do I disagree with the rest. Sparks of Hope was a lovely game that I vastly preferred to the OG. TotK was just "better BotW" in my opinion: it didn't do much new, but was so much better that I can't go back. And while I love Wii Sports/Resort, Switch Sports is genuinely one of my favorite Switch games. I know people dislike the Sportsmates, but I loved their designs! And the gameplay was still super fun. I still hope for a Switch 2 Edition with Foosball, Pool, etc. added!!
Looks like I'll have to find time to upload a few shots for you lovely folks to peruse, but in the meantime, wonderful work to all of NLife (writers and readers) on the pics in this comment section! Bravo!!
As a (failed) MKWii speedrunner (wannabe) I love this so much lol! People are doing awesome stuff in World already, and I can't wait to see what everyone cooks up with Relap!
@Spider-Kev I can see your point about it not being worth $80, but it is well worth $50 to me!! Super fun and Knockout Tour alone is one of the most enjoyable things ever! 😊
I did the same for a few minutes following the one that drags three coins behind it. They respawn quickly so it was not tough and might even be slower. Obviously it was super boring though so I will go ahead and just play normally!
As a Big Swig main since it dropped, another chance at a good kit is exhilarating! Shoutout to my Dread Wringer stans, too--y'all have been waiting for a good kit for a fair bit now, as well!
I was trying to pick three and thought, "Oh, I will just narrow it down...." Only to realize I don't even have a least favorite! I just love them all!!
@TownDarling As someone who adores the Deaf community and wants to learn ASL to begin interpreting, this wouldn't be coddling. Not only is this feature useful for many people who aren't Deaf, it isn't coddling to censor things.
Obviously the answer to the first question is that skin and muscle are just parasitic species that overtake the skeletal structure of Mario characters until their demise.

@Randomname19 yep, that's what I thought! I just couldn't be sure since it sounds like a Mon, too lol!
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Gets Short Clip Celebrating Three Days Until Launch
@spiderman0616 yes, i have heard it is good! If a Switch 2 port ever drops I will buy day 1, but for now this will have to do!

The author has been reading through the Next Nintendo Direct? Forum, it seems....
Re: Random: It's Civil War As One Pokémon Trading Card Store Robs Another
Is that tag a reference to Captain America: Civil War? Or a Pokemon? I dont really play the series haha
EDIT: got confirmation that it was a Marvel reference, as I thought. @olliemar28 well played, I guess that means I understood that reference

@Laurenzio I thought of Mario Sports Mix haha, but same idea!
@grumblevolcano Thanks for pointing this out!

@james_squared Good eye lol! I knew it was a long track, but boy it's longer than I thought...! XD
Re: Rainbow Road Master Is Back In Mario Kart World, And He's Already Setting Records
As a fan of Summoning Salt for years, this game will have quite a video for him to put out!
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
@N00BiSH totally valid, obviously in a best case scenario we also get more content tho ofc!

@N00BiSH is it what I would pick to get a remake? Not even in the top 10. But... Id buy it if it happened (I know, I am part of the problem lol). Seriously, imagine this game in 4k!
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
No complaints here--more versions of Gerudo Valley are always good.
also. is this teasing a remake??
Re: Talking Point: With Bigger GameCube File Sizes, Should Nintendo Let Us Download Individual NSO Games?

Re: Best Mario Sports Games Of All Time
Still waiting on Mario Sports Mix 2, Make it happen, Nintendo/Square Enix! I would buy two copies!
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Gets Smashing New Commercial
Was that corny as all get out?
Yes.
Did I love every moment of it?
Yes.
Am I actively dying because I have to wait for this game?
YES.
Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed
I just hope these people don't expect a metacritic review to be what convinces Nintendo to change lol. I love the game so far, but apparently a vocal group doesn't. (Saying "group" because I really can't tell if it is the majority or the minority lol, they're just really loud)
