Re: Review: Mario Sports Superstars (3DS)

That's a shame. I was expecting the game to actually be decent.

Here's hoping we'll get a proper Mario Sports title on the Switch (preferably Baseball. I loved Super Sluggers!) and not anything like we got in the 3DS/Wii U era. Tennis wise at least.

Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games & Release Dates 2017

I will for sure be picking up Zelda, MK8, Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Lego City, Rayman, and probably Shovel Knight and Fire Emblem Warriors. Thinking about Arms and Yooka-Laylee.

Pretty good launch year I'd say, especially for the amount of time I'll be getting from Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Lego City. Now all I need to do is find a Switch in the first place!

Once they confirm Pokémon, Animal Crossing, and a possible Smash 4 port, the Switch is sure to be a success. I think that Sm4sh will be out by holiday and will be announced at E3.

Re: Poll: A Week On, How Do You Feel About the Nintendo Switch?

I'm more optimistic than I was last week but I'm still hoping for a Direct that goes into details about VC and possibly more games coming this year.

I just really want Nintendo to do well and I hope that they're able to get a lot of people to buy a Switch. They really need to start running ads!

But, of course, I'm not pre-ordering. I never pre-order anything.

@Andrzej777 I'm pretty sure it is the enhanced version that's coming to the Switch. And of course you're not going to play it while you're driving. You can play it while someone else is driving, and you can easily take it to someone's house or play on a plane, etc.

Not surprised about BOTW but MK8 and Splatoon are very polished. Not noticing the aliasing they are referring to in those games.

As for whether or not MK8 will be the only entry on the Switch, I think they will add more DLC but personally, I'm hoping for characters and retro tracks like Maple Treeway ONLY. They should save their original tracks for MK9. I'm still expecting that to be on the Switch but I'm fine with either route Nintendo takes.

Re: Guide: The Top Nintendo Black Friday 2016 Deals in the US

DBPirate

Oi, Wii U at $300 for Black Friday? Not sure it's worth it at all. It looks like most of the Wii U must haves will be coming to the Switch (MK8, Lego City, Splatoon, most likely Smash and Mario Maker) so I wouldn't get it if I didn't have it right now. Paying $300 essentially for a 3D World and Bayonetta player (and we don't even know if those aren't coming to the switch) is not that good a deal.

If I was Nintendo, I'd put it at $200 at the most.
