I've recently played Mario Kart Tour for a bit, and to be honest, I didn't like it. I thought the controls were awful...I kept missing coins left and right. It was just not fun playing like this. I ain't spending money on this, that's for sure...I'd rather play the other games, thank you.
With that said, I like the multiple costumes for each character, and the remixed retro tracks are pretty all right. It's a shame that the game turned out pretty bad for me though.
Looks more like the indigo used for the GameCube/GBA back in the day. It still looks cool though...and quite nostalgic for me too!
@SigourneyBeaver Yeah I think it is, I once asked a question in the Switch thread if it's possible to keep the same friend code on both systems. You just need to be connected online on your non-primary system to play your games. You can make it so that your save data is synced on both the Switch and Switch Lite, as well.
Since the PS3 shop is gonna nuke in July, I got some games from there. I started playing Mega Man Legends yesterday night so I'll likely play that. (I got MML2, Klonoa, and Tomba, as well.) I do want to play more Pac-Man 99 as well though. It's been a while since I played Animal Crossing: New Horizons so I kinda wanna get back into it! Hopefully I'll find some new DIYs for my friends if I learned them already.
Cool to see that you can get the Switch Lite, though I'd love to decorate my house with more Nintendo consoles, like the SNES. And yes, I would LOVE a version of Panel de Pon for New Horizons as well. Make it happen Big N.
Happy Mario Day, everyone! Since I just finished both Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury, I'm having a bit of a hard time what to play today, lol. I was thinking of starting a Mario drawing today, though!
10 years??? It doesn't feel like that long ago since it launched.
Anyway, the 3DS is an awesome handheld and I still play mine from time to time. And yeah, I was one of those guys who bought it at launch too, so I'm lucky to have those NES and GBA games. It may have had a bit of a rocky start, but it managed to have a plethora of awesome games! I had the aqua blue 3DS, then the red and black 3DS XL, and finally, the red New 3DS XL which is what I have now. As often as I play my Switch these days, I ain't getting rid of my 3DS (or any of my Nintendo consoles, for that matter), that's for sure.
Me and my brother used to play Paper Mario: TTYD. A ton. We always looked forward to what events the next chapter would bring. So that was my favorite Paper Mario memory. Still my favorite Paper Mario game too, with the N64 original not too far behind. I do like Origami King as well - that was a MASSIVE step up over the train wreck known as Sticker Star.
It's not my favorite Mario adventure, but it's definitely a nice, chill one. This video's making me want to revisit the game, lol. I still have the Tanooki Mario keychain that came with my preorder.
16 out of 20 here. I seriously thought that was the control pad for a Wii Remote, not the Wii U GamePad. And how was I supposed to know what that thing was in question 19?
I have a nostalgic soft spot for the indigo GameCube so I voted for that. Me and my brother got that for Christmas back in 2001, after all - we played it a ton!
I'll likely head back to Animal Crossing: New Horizons this weekend. Oh, and tomorrow is my birthday! So I'll likely play some Mario games with my family to celebrate. Was thinking of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Maker 2, or one of the Mario Party games. Maybe some Nintendo Land, as well.
@PBNightmare I was recently thinking of getting OR/AS from the eShop soon. Heard great things about HG/SS, but sadly they're like $100 at least. So OR/AS it is, lol
I picked Team Star, since I've always liked stars. Not just the ones that make you invincible, but the Power Stars you collect in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy, as well.
Looks cool, but I kinda wish they went for the Mario red color they had for the SMO bundle, instead of neon red. I have the Mario red joy-cons, as well.
Happy New Year to all you guys! Just remember to stay healthy, wash your hands, wear your masks while you're out, do social distancing, all that stuff to defeat COVID. Here's hoping 2021 will be an even better year.
More Animal Crossing of course. I'm also currently playing Ocarina of Time (3DS). I got Persona 4 Golden from Steam not too long ago so I'll be playing that too! I'm liking P4G so far.
Probably my favorite console of all time, but the Switch is right up there too. I have a ton of nostalgia for the SNES and it has some of the best games ever made. But like a lot of people, I SO prefer the Super Famicom design. The NA design is pretty bland in comparison, honestly.
Can't believe it's been 30 years since it came out in Japan. I feel old...lol

Re: Poll: What's The Best Mega Man Game?
@ZeldaFanboy78 Yeah, Sigma is really, really tough. Even with all four full Sub Tanks it's still a challenging fight.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Mega Man Game?
Mega Man X is totally my favorite one. I also like MM2, 9, 11, X4, Zero 3, and even ZX.

Looks like this book is well worth it! Would love to get my hands on it soon. We all miss you, Iwata-san.
Re: Talking Point: Is The New Switch Lite Blue, Or Purple?
It's indigo. Case closed.

This looks super rad. Can't wait to try it out.

Yep. This game looks atrocious, all right. Good thing I have Mario Kart 8 and Crash Team Racing for my Switch! lol
Re: Poll: What Other Nintendo Franchise Would You Like To See Niantic Work On?
I'd rather see more games on Switch. I don't like mobile games too much.
Re: Gallery: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - A Year In Pictures
Didn't make it in, unfortunately.
Regardless, happy 1st anniversary to Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Such a wonderful game.

Re: Community: Send Us Your Screenshots To Celebrate One Year Of Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I have a lot of screenshots from playing the game. So I'll either find the best one or take one right on the 20th.
Re: Happy MAR10 Day, Everyone!

@CammyUnofficial I've played it for a bit on the Wii U.

Still not stable enough. 0/10

Ah well, at least I'm getting the 2nd set of the Mario pins.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 30th)
Will be playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the NA open tournament, as well as Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Mario Game?
Super Mario World is easily my favorite 2D Mario. Maybe even my favorite game of all time!
Super Mario Bros. 3 is a VERY close second though.
Re: Can You Name All This Nintendo Hardware?
16 out of 20 here. I seriously thought that was the control pad for a Wii Remote, not the Wii U GamePad. And how was I supposed to know what that thing was in question 19?
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite GameCube Console Variant?
I have a nostalgic soft spot for the indigo GameCube so I voted for that. Me and my brother got that for Christmas back in 2001, after all - we played it a ton!
Re: Super Nintendo World Becomes Even More Awesome Thanks To This Real-Life Mario Train
That's a really cool-looking train. Would love to climb aboard one day.
@Ghost_of_Hasashi Or the train in Kalimari Desert - either or would be cool to see. Maybe as an in-park ride or something!
Re: Video: 7 Legacy Sonic Games That Were Never Rereleased

@Sunsy I like Sonic Heroes as well, still have my GameCube copy.

Re: Team Super Mushroom Wins Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest
Aw man...I was kinda hoping that my side would win. Maybe next time.
Good game, Team Mushroom - enjoy your victory.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Kirby Game?
Kirby Super Star Ultra is my pick for the best Kirby game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 16th)
A Splatfest's going on now, so Splatoon 2 for me!
@Josh_Hickory89 Happy birthday! Hope you have a good one. Sorry to hear about your dad, my condolences.
Re: Reminder: Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest Takes Place This Weekend, Pick Your Power-Up
I picked Team Star, since I've always liked stars. Not just the ones that make you invincible, but the Power Stars you collect in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy, as well.
Let's rock, Team Mushroom!

Re: Super Mario 3D World Trailer Shows Off Two Minutes Of Bowser's Fury Gameplay
Looks awesome. Can't wait.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 9th)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Christmas Special)
More Animal Crossing, of course. Plus I just started Fire Emblem: Three Houses so I'll be playing that too!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Switch Game Of The Year 2020
Agreed with the #1 spot. It's by far my favorite game of 2020.
Re: Sephiroth From Final Fantasy VII Joins Super Smash Bros. Ultimate This Month
That was a pretty rad reveal. I certainly didn't see that coming, lol. I'm happy for all the Sephiroth fans!!!
...Thank goodness you're okay, Mario.
Re: My Nintendo Europe Is Offering This Cute 2021 Calendar - Just Pay Shipping
Looks cool, but judging by the dimensions they are rather small for my liking. And I'm in the US so I can't get it anyway. lol
Re: Tetris 99 Hosting Super Mario All-Stars Maximus Cup Later This Week
Can't wait to get my hands on that theme. Love SMAS
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #69 - The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Yeah, the US/Japan one. No contest. It conveys the open-world nature of BotW much better than the European one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 28th)
More Animal Crossing of course. I'm also currently playing Ocarina of Time (3DS). I got Persona 4 Golden from Steam not too long ago so I'll be playing that too! I'm liking P4G so far.
Re: Animal Crossing Wins Nintendo Game Of The Year At The Golden Joysticks, Here Are All The Winners
I'm happy to see that New Horizons got the Nintendo GotY. Love this game and it's definitely my favorite game of 2020.
Re: Nintendo Goes Big With Cyber Deals Sale, Up To 50% Off Top Switch Games (North America)
Oh sweet, the Torna expansion's on sale now. I still haven't beaten XC2 yet, but I still put a ton of time into it. I might have to get it soon.
Re: Anniversary: The F-Zero Series Is Now 30 Years Old
@Yanina That would be super rad. This is the perfect opportunity to add multiplayer to the first F-Zero.
Re: Hardware Classics: The Super Famicom Is 30 Today
Probably my favorite console of all time, but the Switch is right up there too. I have a ton of nostalgia for the SNES and it has some of the best games ever made. But like a lot of people, I SO prefer the Super Famicom design. The NA design is pretty bland in comparison, honestly.
Can't believe it's been 30 years since it came out in Japan. I feel old...lol
