@mariomaster96 it looks like it sold 2K more than Mario vs DK and 50K less than Paper Mario TTYD in their opening weeks. Can't find Mario RPGs numbers but I'm inclined to agree with you. Not sure what the sales expectations were but doesn't seem out of this world

Just bought a couple new games (including FF pixel collection) so will probably hold off on this. Idk, I paid msrp for Tactics Ogre reborn and was so worth it to me having never played it. But $60 for an older jrpg (albeit remade) makes me hesitant, will likely get on sale whenever

I need to watch more Pikmin 4 playthrus to see if i'd get it. The demo didn't click w me simply because of the frequent cut scenes but now would be the time i suppose

Continuing Luigis Mansion 2, really hits the spot for my pace and mood lately

@-wc- not a reason why/why not just different perspective. If there was no BC I doubt I'd get it. I skipped out on owning a couple generations worth of hardware. Basically recouped what I previously owned and then some by a large margin, and I still don't own everything I'd like on Switch. I don't get bent out of shape about certain specs, tons of my games are already old and doubt I'd notice/care anyway. BC or not it'd take a lot (whether by system and/or new+unreleased games) for me to upgrade.

After getting my fill of online play from multiple games (which was a lot), nothing really hooked me to stay. I did enjoy checking titles I'd never played before plus all the classics are great but not enough for me to re-up

@Dpullam that's how I feel for the series. Definitely one I can admire and respect, but not really one I see myself enjoying when behind the controller. Happy for everyone who gets a chance for these though

I know ppl will love the 40 hr playtime but not so sure myself

@ViewtifulCool I think the writer knows that this review is his opinion? I'm not sure what the big reveal was besides saying he's bias

Picked up Luigis Mansion 2 HD last nite so time to get spookyyyy! Plus randomly played Mario Land 2 throughout the week and wrapping that up. Have a good one everyone

@Anti-Matter understood and thanks for the response. It's a shame Echoes didn't appeal to you, seemed like it might given your tastes but so be it.

I recently gave up on Skyward Sword out of disinterest so I get ya

@Anti-Matter I hear your point and see what you mean - as a 3rd party machine the ps5 sales aren't bad. Whats a little confusing is your no interest in 1st party games but you continue to review them on here in your Games section - like Zelda Echoes got a 5/10, is there a reason you do that? Not attacking at all, just curious

@Miss_Moon yes, i rewatched the launch and they had.

In the end im sure i prefer seeing the sprites. But having played earthbound in the past year or so I'm kinda down for something hybrid and this isn't a bother to me. Really looking fwd to it

@johnedwin you're not wrong and they show them here. I think they're just not visible when you do an action, but you see them while you're choosing what to do? Not sure why the changes in perspective

@Banjo- I'm the same and it's kind of a shame. I can't tell if this 'con' is a playful one not to be taken too seriously, but if not it's just kinda...stupid? There are other good reviews that I disagree with and make valid points in their assessment (pros+cons list). But stuff like this? Yeah hard to take seriously and hints at entitlement

@JohnnyMind if it means anything, the days in Stardew elapse pretty quickly. Completing a single day or two in a sitting still feels like small accomplishment even if you spent the day fishing. Just my two cents and fyi as you consider sneaking it in between other titles

A hill I'll die on is that Dracula X is not middling. In the grand scheme of how the Castlevanias were progressing and it being inferior to Rondo, sure, I get it's a letdown. But as a regular 2d scrolling Whip em up Castlevania it's very fun and short, plus easier than CV1

This looks fantastic, coming from someone with little to no MS experience and little tactics-games experience. Will keep an eye out for the physical

@Daniel36 yes that's the one! Wow in box, what a treat for everyone

@Don i can't remember if it was in box or maybe could mail something in but there was a poster as well, hung on my brother's wall for years. Doubt we'd go out of our way to get it at that age but my memory is fuzzy

@SillyG new GB games tend to be released digitally too, so could likely play this one on PC. I usually use my Everdrive gba because sorry, $50 isn't in my budget for them. But i agree with you overall

Having skipped out on the Mario Rpg remake (played it a million times) this looks promising. Just that DQ3 remake comes out around same time and this will have to wait. Hope everyone enjoys regardless

Didn't renew my NSO so my online glory days seem to be over. Glad they're doing this though! Had plenty of fun with S3 splatfests

@Milk_ i recommend reading thr Torrent freak link in the article, it says N accused of him providing pirated games

If I had more time for games I would unironically consider the Patrick Star game (at a discount). Seemed like a half decent time-killer

This is really good to know. I've taken a T.O. on gaming and figured I'll be in the mood come holidays so this is perfect

I'm going standard Portrait of Ruin. Haven't played any of these so waiting a few months on LRG is fine for me

@LadyCharlie I'm not dunking on Botw, but when ppl say like "I'm 400 hrs in and still exploring" it's too daunting for me. I know you can cater your own playthrough, but just the thought of it is really not my style. Agree about repeating shorties being good for my lifestyle

Never played a DQ but I'm excited for the holidays with this one. Sad I passed on dq11 at Walmart for like 15 bucks a while back

He's an idiot but it's the equivalent of telling a kid "hey even Michael Jordan had some bad b-ball games." I didn't think he was doing a hard comparison to the Beatles, idk, the replies seem to be beside his (idiotic) point

@TheBigK banana Mania was my first entry and it didn't grab me like I'd hoped. I can't comment what was better in the GC versions although I got the impression ppl weren't impressed with mechanics. Even personal tastes, idk how much I liked it. There were fun levels but incredibly short and some were beyond frustrating to nail. Overall never wanted to play more than maybe an hour at a time. Just my impression! Might pick up Rumble on a sale so still picques the interest in some way

@Pillowpants I see, definitely a gray area and interesting points. I'd probably get abstract or need to look at copyright jargon to express my point, but I'll save us both the headache interesting topic overall though, for many reasons

@Pillowpants I don't disagree with you on listening on YT but "owning the game means owning the music" sounds a little off. Does the same go for movies as well? OK to just pirate any indie band whose music was featured in a film? I agree Nintendo is behind the times in providing a convenient way to listen to OSTs, go pirate as much as needed, but feeling entitled that you own the OST since you own the game doesn't sit right

@trcsf I agree it's not the same. I enjoy a lot of online play myself, but for a game like this where the online scene isnt robust and the AI bosses are dirt cheap (apparently, I haven't played), it doesn't give me a lot of reason to snag it, at least at full price

@LikelySatan I played not long after launch and during the final boss, it looked like a tack hammer smashed my screen, plus slo-mo etc. It was a wreck but I'm open to playing again (after this update's done)

Nah after 4+ years I'm finally settling in with mine, it's a keeper. But down to get an upgrade. I have a wishlist I'm still trying to get through more than an actual backlog

I don't have a problem with LRG in practice but waiting that long might take away from some of the online matches happening (maybe not?). Still undecided

@Roibeard64 good call on the separate players. I already have a modest blu ray collection of some essentials, randomly have a free player from a friend, and would probably get a new player if that one goes kerplunk. But as years go on I imagine the market will widdle down moreso, maybe not attracting as many starting a new collection and yeah, taking players out of the consoles would only make collecting more 'niche' or whatever

@Roibeard64 I don't have data or figures so dont even consider this an educated guess. I assume numbers aren't what they used to be, but part of me thinks (hopes) Bluray/dvd might survive the long haul. This is based solely on the amount of niche and re-released (including new cuts of) movies that publishing companies continue to roll out but may not be able to put out on major streaming services. All just a guess. I do understand ppl don't buy dvds casually like they used to

Tried Streets of Rage for the 1st time (idk how I've put it off for this many decades). Super awesome, got to Round 6 before getting my butt wooped. Will play more SoR's from the Genesis collection, see if anything of interest on NSO, and pick away at Skyward Sword

I should give Pikmin 4 another chance. The demo of the intro just seemed bloated with cuts or dialogue or something and I couldn't get into it.

@AccessibleDaydream that's peculiar. I didn't do any Tri colors myself, but i also think I didn't have (m)any mirror matches. It was comical at some point playing against Theme Parks that many times in a row. Ah well, hope you had fun anyway, I def did

@Jack_Goetz I was team beach, played for about 4 hrs on Friday and didn't play a single Palace team. Not once. Not sure what that means but was incredibly odd

@Vyacheslav333 doesn't seem like common knowledge for non-Japanese speakers to get that right every single time it occurs. Doesn't really detract from the article either

Mother 3. It really hit me on the initial playthrough and I'd like to preserve that. I think after a few years when most details have vanished from my memory is when I'd be good to give it another go

@LadyCharlie also if you're blind buying a game for 60 bucks that you have no clue about because maybe the box looked cool and didn't research then yeah my sympathy is absent there

@LadyCharlie average consumers can do their research, still their fault. And/or they just don't care and will pay 60 bucks anyway, maybe they have kids.

Illusion of Gaia for me, just think it'd be perfect on the Switch and I would love to revisit

@SillyG Nick Jr is just for you, too?

All i know is its gonna be a great holiday season for gaming for me
