Funny how badly those 3D renders that were all the rage in the 90s have aged.

@Krull It was a big deal in the early days of CD-ROM. Fun game. The company who made it is now doing the Jackbox Party Packs, which are similar in some ways.

Stiff competition. Probably all these games deserve to be in.

@nukatha Roger Dean, artist who did the old logo as well as many beautiful Yes album covers.

I was kind of excited to play this because I'd heard so much praise for it over the years, and then I did and remembered: I don't like sports games. So it's kind of cool what they did with the story mode, I guess, but I'll let this and Mario Golf both pass.

I keep forgetting Gargoyle's Quest is on there. I need to play that one.

I enjoyed the first movie, but on a re-watch it became apparent just how incredibly thin the story is. (Still a fun movie.) So, I'd like a more substantial story.

And that's all I was going to suggest, until everyone else mentioned they'd like less licensed music, and, yeah, that'd be an improvement, too.

Super Mario 3D World is practically on par with any 3D Mario (and better than Sunshine).

Going to 100% story mode on PBB before I start to focus on time attack.

Such a fun game, and it only gets better the more you play, getting better acquainted with the mechanics and controls. The only time I notice the lower framerate is watching a video of the game on another platform.

@Sonicka The controls are actually great. Not sure why you're having so much trouble.

Wait, free cards...?

I'm sure it's due to the recent surprise release, but we haven't yet seen a review for Penny's Big Breakaway.

Take your time. It's a game you have to come to grips with to fully appreciate it.

@Fiskern Similarly, I wish reviewers would stop trying to force some kind of false objectivity into their reviews, and acknowledge that, ultimately, their review is their opinion, and write accordingly. (I'm not targeting anyone specific here.)

@Mario500

"Decemberween, Decemberween
You're fifty-five days after Halloween"

Does Europe have the best boxart for once? It's a Decemberween mackerel!

Penny's Big Breakaway, for sure. Maybe something else on the side.

I got PBB yesterday and it's a blast and a joy.

@rex_rex It's moderately challenging, but I often hear people talk about games that I consider fairly easy as if they're hard, so maybe my perspective is skewed. But it's a game that rewards you if you play well, i.e., you can finish a level easily enough, but completing it quickly is much more challenging. High ceiling, as they say.

A lot of these scores are comically low. I guess age takes precedent over actual quality, eh?

Nice. I own two of these physically but I'm looking guard to all 5 on my Switch.

Getting this one right away

I want to love DK94, but I can't. Mediocre platforming and mediocre puzzling do not combine to make a great hybrid. As was said about Mario vs. DK in its recent review, DK94 is "fine."

@quinnyboy58 Yeah, too high.

I've gathered the few that interest me most, plush a Yarn Yoshi. Wouldn't mind getting a few more sometime...

Do we really need a spoiler warning in an article titled "Oops! Nintendo May Have Accidentally Revealed..."? It insults the reader's intelligence.

"Fine" is how I would describe the original, too. I thought from the start this was an odd choice for a remake.

MM3D is a much better remake than OoT3D. OoT3D rates so highly due to fondness for the original. As a remake, this version of the game does almost nothing to merit such a high placement.

Wind Waker HD, Majora's Mask 3D, Samus Returns, and Zero Mission.

I quit the first Sonic movie 20 minutes in and didn't watch the second, but I get a kick out of how much Carrey seems to love playing Robotnik.

My most anticipated game right now. Looks great.

@Speedo #teamsuperswiitchu360

If knowing the ending or a plot twist or a surprise reveal is enough to spoil an experience, the experience wasn't worth it in the first place.

HD-2D, and fix the busted battle system.

For me, an RPG lives or dies by its battle system. Golden Sun has a lot going for it (maybe not the dialogue), but I just can't enjoy a game whose battle system is as dull as this one.

@NintendoDad Both are excellent. Hollow Knight is one of the few Metroidvanias I've played that measures up to a real Metroid game.

@Anachronism Finally played Ori 1 a few weeks ago and I have to agree. Beautiful game, but a chore to play. I quit about halfway. The sequel is apparently better, but there are too many other games for me to worry about it.

One popular take is that Golden Sun is overrated because of its target demographic and the lack of original RPGs on the GBA. I guess now I can finally discover the truth.

I'd be inclined to doubt Rockstar's claim were it not for the audacity on Remedy's part to put their own studio's name in the logo.

I can still hardly believe they went with that first Sonic design before the backlash. Was it ever confirmed whether it was made deliberately ugly to get attention for the movie?

I've never traded in a Switch game, but I've sold a handful: the Azure Striker Gunvolt pack, the Spyro and Crash trilogies, and Octopath Traveler. I keep the really good ones (and I have plenty of those).

I guess it's a bit annoying when it happens to me personally, but I find it hard to get worked up about it otherwise.

Count me among the many expecting the Switch U 360 this year.

Gotta be TotK for me. No single moment, either. Just, TotK.

Just can't beat Yoshi.

Dread. Now, if the Dark Suit had ever been on a box cover...

Didn't see the need to play it after Octopath 1. Great battle mechanics and graphics couldn't completely offset some shallow mechanics and the thoroughly poor writing.

Just got the expansion pass a few days ago and I'm nearly through replaying Banjo-Kazooie. Speaking of aged milk...

Fortnite Shark-Jumping is the next mode coming down the pipe.

Shining Force? Hello?

I played the first Trilogy only recently, and after finishing it I looked ahead at some of the events in the lateral games and was deeply disappointed that one key event in T&T was never followed up on. I imagine I'm not the only one who feels that way.

This collection inspired me to play Arkham Asylum, which I've had on my PC for a few years. It's good, though a bit shallow gameplay-wise. Production values are top-notch, of course.

I'm ready for Shinobi.
