The game looks fun and all but that price point, can't be justified. If I happen to grab the Switch 2 bundle i guess will be going for it but I don't like to buy AAA games Digital, I want to be able to resale my games if I want to. As a Consumer, I don't want to not have options and this, at least to me, feels like Nintendo cutting my options short.
I beat this game on gamecube 15 years ago or so, did it again on WiiU a few years ago, will buy it for sure if realesed on modern hardware but for now im good, thank you Nintendo
I have the definitive controler on my gulikit kk3 Which has analog triggers and a switch to stop those trigger buttons halfway if i wanted to. (And LOTS of others customization options) why everyone else does not have one of this vastly superior controller its really, beyond my understanding.
Have Nintendo decided on making this as an early adopter gift (lets say, the first few million consoles) the hardcore fans will be happy and whoever else that want to play it will have to pay and then, there's the collectionist crowd who could have made this an object of cult (raising its price and maybe even value) but oh well, some companies will never get it
That's some arbitrary comment right there, I don't doubt the games will be fun, that's the reason we are fans in the first place but genre defining? We'll see about that
Nintendo will be dumb to not release DLC for their holly cow (the MK franchise) it embodies all for what Ninty wants to be known for (having fun with family and friends) it's their biggest game (much more than Zelda or even mainline Mario) so DLC its a given. Having said that, to announce it right out of the gate will only depend on the content of the game, if its so massive as they claim and are confident enought they will announce it, (maybe the first one or two waves will be free) as for The two ex employees, they don't seem to have any insider knowledge so, who cares what they say?
I been playing Nintendo products for well over 4 decades now, and I can say with confidence that some of their resent strategic moves we never saw under Yamauchi's or Iwata's administration, the thing at its core is: they now consider themselves to be a premium brand, much like apple does and maybe they are but while having a phone may be considered a necessity in this days, it's different with a videogame console. Console price: ok Game key price: not ok Game prices: not ok Game peripherals prices: not ok Shady practices: will never be ok
It's a shame really, these guys used to be a consumer friendly brand.
I love Nintendo, I really do, for a long time i just had Nintendo hardware at home because it suited all my gamer needs, but I have to put my foot down for this, if they insist in rising their prices like this (with no reason other than greed), they will never see a penny from me again, I will buy their games and consoles on the used market
Obviously i haven't play the console myself, but after all the dust from yesterday's presentation as settled, i kinda feel the same, not disappointed but not as excited, it's as if they told you for so long that it's all about the game experience, artstyle above cutting-edge graphics, having fun above all else etc and now they just gave you a more powerful machine.
A solid 8 for me, DxM, Metroid, Hades, MK9 and silksong are the games im interested on. Elden ring, hogwarts, SF6, the punk game and FF, already have those on PS5. As for DK, i don't know what to think of just yet, to me it looks so much as the ratchet and clank launch game on PS5, so well see, the camera should have been built-in on the console (hopefully there will be a 3rd party one to put on the top usbc port, a speaker on the controller its an industry standard at this point in time. A more than decent start i think but with a few major flaws IMO
Will get one, even thou i don't know if its going to be day one, launch window or eventually, Mario Kart, Metroid, Hades and potentially silksong are the only games I'm really interested ATM
They said the games will run at higher frame rate and resolution, thats basically WWHD minus the QoL improvements that maybe just did make sense on the WiiU gamepad, ill take it!
Metroid is my favorite franchise, i have enjoyed all games (except from the pinball one as I'm not big on pinball) having said that, am I the only one who's not crazy about Prime Beyond?
I hope to see Metroid beyond realese date, a planet robobot announcement, Samus returns announcement, sega's shinobi update, silksong update + more ports
Can't really tell this game apart from arceus or the one with the pokemon that turns into a bike, game freak should aim for a different art style, specially with this spin offs. Time for a shake off!
I bought this day one and played the intro chapter, thought it would hook me up more TBH, will beat it eventually but man, i had higher hopes, (not that the game is bad or anything)
1st lords of shadow was real good, 2nd one was just a mess plotwise, hopefully they expand on that style with better writing. In a perfect world they keep MercurySteam formula, a big AAA 3d Castlevania and a 2d/ 2.5d CastleMetroidvania to satisfy everybody Castlevania's fix
I like Digital foundry, I really do, however, Sending Alex (who admittedly doesn't even own a Nintendo game console) makes little to no sence at all
Granted, you don't have like or have a product to offer insight about a subject you're supposed to be an expert but you can see him struggle, that was painful to watch.
Same as the old one but bigger im assuming. An overpriced pice of plastic IMO, the one I got from Temu do the trick just fine and I can also dock my switch without the need to remove it🙂
Wonder if there are enough characters from the Mario universe, i mean, the game its called Mario Kart (still weird to me that there is Link, and the animal crossing gang on MK8)
