I talked to Kaze himself about the possibility of Princess Daisy.
The good news is that he has built an API for adding new characters, so he said with enough time, it would work out. He said that if Daisy was to be unique she would have to feel zippier than the other two princesses, who are slower than Mario.
The bad news is that the N64's 8MB of RAM means that additional characters cannot be added.
@Damo I think there will be enhancements on Switch because it's a newer version of the RAGE engine. Plus it's 64bit. Think about how LEGO City and Skyrim benefited.
Another game that released around the same era was Sonic Heroes for Gamecube....and I looked at the reviews for that game and they criticised the camera + controls just like you did here. In fact, two levels were dedicated to "pachinko" in a way.
But I like it because it took some 2D Sonic design elements and adapted them to 3D. Sonic had speed and momentum, Tails was for precise flying, and Knuckles was for slower powerful, and light combat. There were plenty of bottomless pits and branching paths/shortcuts that took skill.
But alas, people complained because of the controls being a bit loose, and SEGA responded by making more linear and restrictive games. Unleashed was the last Sonic game to allow for free camera movement...
@Damo It's probably the digital version that's on sale. Physical version doesn't release until next month. Hope they opt for a 32GB cartridge and save consumers the headache.
If they DON'T opt for a 32GB cart, I suggest you all boycott the game.
The digital version will require an SD card because it's 25GB. The physical version will either have a smaller 10GB download, or no download at all if 2K Games opts to use a 32GB cartridge. I hope they don't cheap out.
@daveh30 Yes they have, and I hope this is a wake up call to Camelot and the rest of the team who works on Mario spinoffs. A phoned-in half hearted game will not do well at all in today's landscape!
@gatorboi352 I think this is true for amiibo though. So many one time amiibo are releasing nowadays. Do you think the Poochy amiibo will get a use outside Woolly World? What about that squishy Metroid? Shovel Knight?
Heck, my favourite amiibo, Princess Daisy, has no games that she can use her read/write functionality for, because all of them refuse. It's really sad when you think about it.
To add to that, Mario Sports Superstars Cards were intentionally designed to only work with that game and that game only, as was Shadow Mewtwo. What could have been a great way to collect cards of Mario characters and use them in multiple games got squandered. Badly.
I will still cling on to my dear Daisy amiibo. Here's what it unlocks when you beat an amiibo level in Hey Pikmin.
I am disappointed that Nintendo didn't prepare earlier games for new amiibo, as I had to try and patch the functionality in myself with Yoshi Wii U and Mario Maker.
Working on Mario Tennis next, that one is actually going to be quite challenging...
@Kayfios Errr.....the Japanses site actually says that the content is unlocked by scanning the amiibo AFTER you beat the game. These things are amiibo exclusive.
And I like it! Make amiibo have more usage Nintendo! Can't wait to see what the Princess Daisy amiibo does in Super Mario Odyssey!

Which amiibo will work Capcom? That is the question.
Re: Review: Pokkén Tournament DX (Switch)
@Damo The scaling and sawtooth artifacts present in the Wii U version of the game are still present on Switch.
Even when taking screenshots in docked mode it doesn't look as crisp as 720p games do when I take screens of them.
Re: Review: Pokkén Tournament DX (Switch)
The game is 960x720 in both handheld AND docked mode.

Re: Scan amiibo In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga And Stamp Some Sheets
amiibo that work are Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Toad, Bowser Jr, Boo, Goomba and Koopa Troopa
The stamp is a one time use thing and gives you non character-specific items. But Boo Goomba and Koopa have more functionality in Bowser's Minions.
Re: Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition Arrives on the eShop, Packaged Version To Launch At A Later Date
It's based on an older version of Pocket Edition. 0.15.4 to be exact. Runs at 30fps too. Has no online multiplayer or Mario Mashup.

Re: Update For Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition Enables 1080p Display When Docked
I'm talking about handheld mode's DRAW DISTANCE. It's lower than the Wii U version and docked mode by quite a bit.

I sure hope this means that handheld mode will get improvements.
