I rate it above mid. 6.5 There's some good stuff
Goldeneye
Merry mountain and Peach gardens (3rd fav.)
Radiant silver gun
Pikmin 4..finally
Front mission 1,2 and 3. (2nd favorite if it's good.) Please be good.
Tunic and Sifu
N64 announcements (my favorite of this direct)
Kirby
And tales
But
Advance wars is MIA
So is Prime 4
Third party sizzle reel is short
and so much farming. they want me to pick up a tractor and go farming. No thanks, I'm Captain toad not Farmer toad.
I think it was more of a leak than a reveal. And I'm worried how it's going to fare as it's "announcement" is being so close to October, Whichever the case, Nick kart 2 made a marked improvement over the abysmal 1st one. So let's see how it fares. And with voice acting out ta gate, This'll fly off of selves.
@Sahnec Voice acting has been patched in Nick All Star Brawl a while ago.
I just couldn't handle the first game as the fast 2d repeating up down and all around graphics me dizzy after a while. So the 3d graphics in the second game could help.
Yep, this score sounds about right from what I've played and completed, though I would've ticked it to a .5 if it exists. Though nothing amazing, they've done a well done job with this remake of world 1. Also since you restored Krome Keeper concept boss, can you do the same and restore the blimp enemy as a boss in world 2. I don't wanna fight 3 ghost machine bosses in a row.
Yes, the changes here are incremental. But by golly, these changes make all of the difference.
No more waiting for Salmon run. The sisters announcements can be in the background. More freedom on spawn points. And save data transfer, that got me to pre-order the game.
OK, Splatoon 3. You've twisted my arm. Having not only a save data bonuses but also transfer your level more or less to the game into higher ranked players.
3rd. Sydney Sprint. 2nd lap marathon.
2nd: Kalahari Desert. Music with the wild west horns and going inside the tunnel with the train in the second and last lap.
1st. Snow Land. Music, penguins, no more Camera shake, penguins, tricky course to handle but with the right handling you'll have fun. And of course, the toads are dressed for the occasion! Took the worst course to the best course.
Sky-High Sundae: Just as anxiety inducing as the preview suggests. The roads are narrow, curve, and bounce all over the place with this guardrail-less place. That's without accounting the antigravity or the other racers.
Mario Circuit: Getting over the track choice, The asthetic is the only lame part. Why is it set in the middle of nowhere?
Snow Land: Simply Love this course. The favorite of the bunch. Don't fall to the water and get good tires.
New York minute: The cars do look awkward standing in a two way street but a course doesn't always need obstacles to have fun. Wish it was a bit longer...
Sydney Sprint: Love this course.
Mushroom gourge: Tricky mushrooms is tricky. Course looks nice.
Kalahari Desert: More horns and different lap paths. Please Nintendo-Sempai?
Waluigu pinball: The colors, Duke! The Colors!
Overall 7 out of 10 at least.
Minuses
The crowd is still doing that waving thing back from the default game. Dress em up at least. I guess that can't be helped....
Waluigi pinball sound effects haven't been given as prominent as the DS original.
Mario Circuit 3 is set in the middle of nowhere with the NES SMB set they're going for on the outside the course underutilized. Put a castle in here.
Untextured thing here and the but not bad graphics overall.
I feel if they added new characters/alternate costumes (you already got em ready on tour) or brought in more battle courses this would've turned an A rank to an S rank but never the less. Each new race track is welcome and I'll be awaiting each new wave with bated breath.
@Paraka Is it the one where you train a fuzz ball monster by eating cereal and doing platforming challenges for a final battle against the monster where he growls and doesn't speak from the commercial.
@pikmin_4 The 2 Nick kart racers (yes, that also means the first one!) has been constantly on the upper(or -ish at least) tiers of the great sales eshop page so I can assume that these made bank.
@Not_Soos If anything, the flutter jump looks to be more helpful in the hopefully to be re pac sequel for the hard to reach platforms (volcano island) and hard to reach collectibles (snow mountain).
I haven't played Pac-Man World since I was 7?-10? The pirate world (probaly since I havent gotten far past that world and was playing from another house), Feeling the rumble of the pac-rev (Namco, please get the rumble in this.), seeing pac man in 3d was a scary yet magical experience.
I would've liked the UI to be a bit more minimalistic like the high score, PACMAN letters (KONG from DK Country), and the health icon only appear when it happens. Nethertheless, I will be happily playing this.
On another note. If they're going to remake world 3, please have Ms Pac Man legal mumbo jumbo dealt with and the original dialog back since the writing they did for Pac Man was wonderful.
Anyway in case you're wondering. I've played Mission Vinleaf and it's good. It reminds you of the early-mid 2000's licensed 3d platformers (the good kind) mixed with Super Mario Sunshine. Play it if you're the fan of the Smurfs.

Re: Brace Yourselves, A Pac-Man Live-Action Movie Is Currently In Development
@pikmin_4 That. It could come back as a comic or take a few pieces of the area for levels in a future pac man world game like the computer chip level.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Heh, the dumb henchmen, smart leader (Tocman?) trope. At least Blinky showed initiative.

I wonder if Pac man will say "It's Pac'in time." and pac all over the place?

If only they kept pac man screaming it would've been a ten.
Nevertheless, I like the new cutscene.

Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 2 - Harmless Fun, But More "B-Side Filler"
I simply disagree with this review.
Sky-High Sundae: Just as anxiety inducing as the preview suggests. The roads are narrow, curve, and bounce all over the place with this guardrail-less place. That's without accounting the antigravity or the other racers.

With a new track along with the retro courses, basically anything goes now.
