I think 2nd place is my best so far.

quality > quantity.
human creativity > generative AI.

in the battle for the future of gaming, the people that know how to make games will win.

I only buy physical. In fact, I consider "digital purchase" kind of an oxymoron. If many of you are happy paying full or near-full prices for game license rentals, that's totally fine. But let the rest of us voice what we want too.

I'm definitely interested!!

The bigger story is that Square-Enix considers Kotaku a reputable news outlet to speak with -_-

NA this time. God I loved JSR.

I am LOVING MK World! The only thing I don't like is blending the tracks together within a cup. It's kind of clever, but it makes the tracks feel less distinct.

Possible hot take: assuming they will do DLC for the game, I hope they never include mirror mode nor 200CC. I never like either of those. I also hope we never get more than double the current courses. My only issue with MK8D was there were SO many courses I couldn't get good at them all without quitting my job. It was too much. I like the manageable 8 cups and I hope we never get more than 16.

Well deserved, in my opinion. All I needed was a more powerful and smoother Switch, and we have that for the next generation. I'm good.

Looks pretty decent!!

I'll be getting this game regardless, but I'm still hoping for Cyclops, Daredevil, Moon Knight.... maybe Julia Carpenter Spider-Woman... ... Darkhawk?? lol. Lots of other great choices I'd love to see!

Possibly stupid question: will every game run a tiny bit better on Switch 2? or only if it has a "Switch 2 update"?

Inspiring people to do what is right, and brings people together, instead of driving them apart in a way that merely feels good, is what we need more of today.

1. I'm sure 200cc will come in a later DLC.
2. I really did not like 200c. It was way too fast and that took the fun out of the game, imho.

as long as there is finally reasonable draw-distance/pop-in, this is my #1 reason for getting a Switch 2. I don't care if that's lame, it's the truth ^_^

OK, but the art on the left looks like a charming, endeering, and emotional journey. The art on the right looks like corporate board-room, shovelware crap.

Stick it in my veins!!!!!!

"You've just gotta, like, tippy-tap it in"

I hope this is a Happy Gilmore reference. If so, 10/10 article.

You can't call it Hot Girl Walk and then say its meaning is something entirely different. If I go for a "Giga Chad Alpha Bro That All the Ladies Want Walk" but I say it's about inner wellness or some ish, that's not gonna fly.

6/13. Where do I turn in my Nintendo Fanboy Membership Card? -_-

I'm playing through the game right now and, yea, most all of these are going to be very welcome changes!!!

Though I'll miss Monster Pile-On being so OP lol

It's very solid reasoning, I just can't stand anything that reminds me of Seth Rogen.

It makes me feel so good to see Seinfeld references are not only alive, but well received judging by these comments.

Great job, Ollie!

Do it!!! And don't forget Last Window!!!

"Nugglocke run"

I approve.

Innovate when things are stale/bad, iterate when they are still fresh/good. Switch 1 is still going strong. Iterating is the right move.

"We have had to make certain compromises"

The first thing you compromised was your integrity. None of the compromises after that matter.

I don't know what the overall sales numbers are for say, GTA5 and MK8D, but I'm guessing both games are among the most popular of the last 2 generations. So, like, is this really the fight he wants to pick??

I love the 2 Bubsy games that were on the Genesis and I don't care who knows it!! I'm buying this collection!!!

Physical media 4ever!!!

hooray!! my money shall be thyne!!

"Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance"

.... and so it shall fail twice. Simple as.

not sure which edition I'll get but, very interested in this game!!!

I mean, GTA5 just came out. Let it breathe, people!!

/s

Are we in the worst timeline??????

@Pigeon .... people don't buy pants?? O_o ^_^

Physical. media. for. LIFE!

They are trying to kill the physical market outright. Hopefully gamers won't stand for it. I will never support this practice.

If they won't sell me the game, I won't buy it. I might still play it though — your move, game industry.

physical = buy!!

Pocketpair should just make original character designs and let everyone move on with their lives. That's all this is really about.

LOVE IT. See you again in another 30 years or whatever it was, Paul!!

@TheColorRed

!!!!

thanks!!!

Localize it and takeMyMoney.gif

This was awesome! I love that they did it!!

Physical copies when??

Game looks bonkers good to me. My body is ready!!

Please stop running articles like this without emphasizing the context that much of this a top-down result.

The game industry wants all-digital for revenue reasons, but many consumers would still love to buy physical if GIVEN THE OPTION.

If more games were offered physically, more people would buy them physically. Yes, consumers are getting more and more comfortable with trading the convenience of digital for the ownership of physical. However, a lot of people would still buy physical IF they had the option. And that's important context to knowingly exclude from all these "the numbers are down" stories.

@RupeeClock woo! thank you!

I am super ultra excited for this game, but I hope it is either less difficult than the NES originals or has some kind of difficulty option. As an adult, I don't have time for eagles pushing me off cliffs and getting sent back multiple levels.

I'm sure many of you can relate.

Please share with us commoners, game journalist!!

put it on a disc or cartridge and I'll buy it
