It's a fun game, and I'm a huge Star Wars fan, but it has maybe the worst menu system I've ever come across in gaming

I'd like to see the opposite next. All Mario themed, or the dream, all Pokémon. Won't feel the need to compare as much.

The only thing it NEEDS is a new animal crossing, preferably with another tropical setting

A return to an aquatic theme, the desert inklings was not the move for my taste

@acNewUpdates no, pokken was more like a standard 2d fighter (Pokémon x tekken)
Wasn't my cup of tea but it was alright. I'd like a platform brawler for Pokémon like smash

It's always been my dream but I would love a Pokémon only smash. Doesn't have to be as balanced because Pokémon aren't anyway.
Would be a cool new take after the amount of classic game content in ultimate.

@rjejr yeah, I would totally understand that hate haha. And I love some MK8 but maybe it's just that it feels stale? Or that the new tracks aren't near the quality of the originals. I'm sure the next MK will retake its throne, but we're still playing the same Wii U game almost 10 years later now. Of course things are gonna advance since then! Lol

@LikelySatan there's a "story mode" that works like a battle pass, and limited events to unlock people. I have everyone except two with 0 "gambling". And you can use premium currency for the cosmetics instead of gambling (I personally would not for cosmetic items though)
Also, in local multiplayer and free play mode EVERY CHARACTER IS UNLOCKED!!!!
So tell him he can play with anyone just not in ranked or regulated multiplayer lol

This is honestly the best kart racer I've ever played. The early access has been handled great, and they've listened to feedback. I wish they didn't all have a weird formula 1 outfit and kart, but otherwise I'm very happy with it. I know I'll get flamed because hating free to play games is "cool", but I said what I said!

This game is so much fun but gets so much hate. They have multiplayer where everyone's level is the same, everything is unlocked for split screen, it has a lengthy and challenging amount of missions.
People complain it's too hard and too easy at the same time, and they they don't have everything all the time and they have to play to progress.

I remember a while back some leaks from within the team saying they wanted to use Unreal and they demanded using their own engine. Was supposedly a reason for the Skywalker Saga delays. I wonder how much time and money that cost when they could've listened to the team and made it easier and potentially less buggy.

Personal opinion but I miss the earlier games style, the whole hyper realistic combined with trying to make it look like actual toys (Lego stamps on the characters arms?) just doesn't look as smooth. Lego marvel superheroes was the pinnacle.

I haven't played in a while but I'm intrigued by Lapras

My wife and her family all make fun of me because I never got the jacket from the old man BotW. I made increasingly complicated machines and food trying to get to the top of some mountain, I eventually quit and never looked back. After describing what happened they've never let it drop lol

Funky kong. Women want to be with him, men want to be him.

@sanderev with that description I don't live in the real world lol

I wonder how much the sales equal though. I've bought like 10 games when they dropped to 1 dollar, I never did that on ds obviously.

Switch 2 launches with Zelda, a new F Zero, Star fox, a new 3D Mario, and a Pokémon game that everyone's been dreaming of. It'll be as powerful as the series x but still portable.
How'd I do?

I would love it to feel like an African safari. I also hate how every map is starting to feel generic. Plains, caves, desert, beach, ice zone. I'm fine with it ditching a few and making it feel like a unique place.

But for real, would have loved if the alola region was sea life dominated. We have enough cats and monkeys but one land shark, and one half of a shark lol.

Me: Finally another fish lover who wishes for my fish Pokémon, this guy gets it.
"Fish aren't really interesting on their own"
Ok, the calling horsea a horse makes more sense now.

These seem much more generic(?) to me. The original ones had a real high quality look and feel to them while these seem... less so..

Dang, I know it's a Christmas present but I have to wait til the 25th to play it! All this charizard hate would blow my 4th grade mind. He's still the coolest to me after all these years, a Charizard card was a mythical object way back then, guess it imprinted on me lol.

These sci fi games sometimes have some really cool looking cover art and then you click and it's the worst graphics you've ever seen

We should be excited. Anytime gatekeepers are removed from the art world it's a good thing. The ability for anyone to create high level works of art is pretty cool.

I'll probably pick this up, but the first game was a perfect experience for me. I loved the gameplay, and the visuals are the best on switch. It's the one time I wish they would've just released more of the same instead of a whole overhaul.

As long as it doesn't look like anime I'm happy.

I saw the video today and loved him, I had no idea til now he was a frog lol.
He looks like a squishmallow came to life.

Was way more rocket raccoon to me

A smash style game with all Pokémon. Always been my dream. An unbalanced fighter where you still have to plan out your team, but skill still plays a huge part.

Everyone is acting like Disney is so light on characters Goofy not being there at launch is a deal breaker. It's not 1960, their roster is insanely large and kids today wouldn't put goofy in their top 25 at all.

It's not even that, not a single smash clone/platform fighter has approached its quality.

Well that's enough NintendoLife for a while

Why is smash bros so difficult to clone?

I would pay full price for the game if I could unlock Pokémon faster
But it started to feel like a daily chore just trying to get my 300 coins, but I won't put real money into this chaotic model

@KoopaTheGamer yeah, I didn't realize that so many games weren't cloud saves. It's no big deal, I just don't get how my online multiplayer data isn't on a server?

Haven't played splatoon 2 since I got my Oled, decided to play a few rounds to warm up. Didn't realize it didn't have cloud saves even though it's a mostly online game? So with all my save progress gone I guess I might as well buy 3.

I don't like the look of the splat lands at all, it loses that weird Tony hawk+marine biology aesthetic I love. However some of the new maps look so great and definitely do match it, it looks like I'm gonna be back into splatoon

Been playing since I got red in third grade, but Grookey might be my all time favorite. He looks so "Pokémon", he's a monkey, he's just delightful.

Pokémon has had like a million spin offs. It's ok that the main games aren't totally different each gen. Unite, snap, mystery dungeon, pokken, quest, cafe, arceus are all extremely different versions of Pokémon on switch.
Let me feel like 3rd grade me with blue version again and I'm good.

@dimi let's not bring politics into this government acquisition?

I loved the first splatoons, but desert just really doesn't match the vibe for me. I never played it for the story mode really, so I'm just not hyped for this one.

I was so hyped for this game last spring. But it's been delayed way too long as it is, now it seems like it might be silently dying. Switch 2 will launch first (in 2025)and I don't play mobile

A new console is inevitable and seeing PlayStation still not meeting demand, this could just be a prudent move for when it does come out. But that release could still be 2-3 years away, and they're not taking chances.

I was hoping for 2 things and got 1 so I'm satisfied. Just starting to wonder what's going on with Star Wars hunters at this point

Star Wars hunters release and Mario and Rabids update are my hopes.

Now that we're not anticipating the switch 2 being right around the corner. It's the perfect time! Pikmin 4, star fox, starvwars hunters and switch 2!

I always wondered about this, that's pretty cool. Because there are essentially different versions of ACNH but it's all sold as just one game. I guess tradition and money keeps them from doing that with Pokémon

Real question, why don't they put a fresh coat of paint of games like this before release?
Modders will re-skin games for fun in a short amount of time, but for a full retail re-release they can't add a few polygons and textures?

It looks like Skyrim meets a DBZ game

I just wish we could have a mainline game look like snap. Cut whatever nonsense you want idc. I want my mons to be visually pleasing, not this. Pokémon pixelated and Pokémon Aliasing.
