It is kind of funny how Nintendo Life will wait for like a month for the baseball game on switch but then they trash this one real fast.
Having said that, it's really sad that developers don't polish their game before release! Even if they do clean up the game, and the performance, they still have screwed the pooch and will have many bad reviews.
Yes. I love wonder .. the controls, visuals, gameplay is near perfect. But I think the music is not as catchy and charming. I felt the same way about Mario kart 8, I actually like the sample based music and chip tunes better than the orchestrated music for super Mario and Mario kart. I understand the orchestrated style music with legend of Zelda and Mario Galaxy / Odyssey, but I feel like the older style is better for 2d Mario games.
@HammerKirby Miyamoto San, Don't know if he hates it or not, but I do know that he didn't have anything to do with the creation of it, so it may be way down on his list. To me it's one of my favorite Mario games and also has some of the best Mario music.
I have 23 as well. I really love the options in this game, it actually makes baseball fun, as I prefer my baseball higher scoring and more unrealistic, but this game allows such tweaking that I really enjoy it. I will be skipping 24, I will however buy it again when it comes out on the switch 2. It's really amazing that they made it play so well with the week specs of the switch.
Crazy taxi is not a triple A game. No offense. But crazy taxi is meant to play in short bursts? I like Crazy Taxi, but calling it Triple A is just weird.
@Banks I really can't believe that they did not emulate them on the 3DS. That would have been a great way to do it. I would definitely try them if they were on the 3DS.
PTSD? Really? I mean I understand it's tough to lose a job and have to start a new, but there is always something around the corner. I also don't understand recent comments from voice actors. It's a job... The employer can hire and fire as they wish.
@versionfiv not trolling, but do you really see VR is going mainstream? I always thought of it as a niche product because I have never been very comfortable using VR for any extended period of time.
I'm totally okay with having no E3... I'm not even particularly fond of these game awards shows either, they're just not fun to watch. I would rather play the games.
@Erigen @Anti-Matter I can't figure out why people expect gamers, especially older gamers to jump on PS5. I'm in my early 40's and I've honestly been underwhelmed by the next Gen priorities. Graphics! Polygon teeth in every character! 60,000 polygons in a girl's butt! I feel like it's a waste of resources. Doom 3 still looks amazing and that's ancient now. I feel like with every new NextGen they rehash the same games over and over and the justification is that the game has costing more than ever to make and that it's more sophisticated than ever and more immersive than ever, but when I see a new game on the PS5 on a 4K TV and all it's amazing glory, I literally tell myself I'm going I have actually played this before and it was just fine on the GameCube. I feel like all this extra expense in perfectly modeling characters teeth is a waste. I'm sure Spider-Man 2 is great, but not great enough to feel the need to get a PS5 for me anyway.
Does anyone else feel the same way I do? Or am I the only one?
They fixed the Network bug, I have gigabit fiber internet at my home and it would drop out usually before even the first lap was completed if I played the game on Wi-Fi prior to the update. The only way I could complete an online race is if I had it in the dock connected to ethernet cable.
So glad to see that they fixed this. I played after The update on Wi-Fi and it's seems to be solid now.
@roy130390 yeah also the new direction he took by making him some kind of chicken hawk and he removed the worm and made some kind of grappling hook? He took a lot of the charm out of the game, I backed it years and years ago and I am still pissed off.
Jools is a jerk. He is like saying he is bad at communication, but he did not even try I am a backer of chicken wiggle, hatch tails and he just intentionally took the money and put it into other games even though this was a rebuild of a previous game. I feel like he's still not being honest.
@mariomaster96 bingo. I watched one of my friends play PS5 call of duty, on a big screen 4K TV for like an hour or two and I was underwhelmed. It's like watching call of duty from 10 years ago with a new coat of paint.

@Semudara Jools literally made it generic and boring, why take away the charm of the original?!?

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy & GBC Library With Three More Mario Titles
Mario Land 1 ? This is my go-to on GB physical. Would be awesome to use the save state feature for quick play sessions.

Looks fun. I will want to wait until a sale though. Games cost to much.

They need another Dig game, I'm not sure why they wanted to venture into other genres.

@Friendly got it. I don't know what Apex Legends is, but the name sounds like a mobile game.
Re: Talking Point: As A Nintendo Fan, Do You Really Need To Play The Virtual Boy?
@Banks I think it was Mario Brothers of some sort. With 3d. I did not like the 3d effect. It was hard on my eyes.

No. And even when I was a kid and played it in Target, it was not good then...

Re: Analysts Doubt 'Switch 2' Will Be Able To Top Switch's Mighty Sales Numbers
I think it will do great. I also think that a lot of the new software will also be compatible with the original switch. Just different power profiles.
Re: EA Can't Comment On Switch Successor But Admits Improved Platforms Are "Good" For Business
This is really funny... EA has shown ongoing support?!? Lol. Really where?

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?
I really hate GameStop. So I will not trade anything to them, it's basically a scam.
Re: Poll: How Much Internal Storage Would Be Reasonable For 'Switch 2'?
Hopefully the storage tech that they use is much faster than the tech they used in the original switch It is very slow.
Re: Talking Point: What Will The 'Switch 2' Actually Be Called?
Switch Next. And I'll say more.
