@EarthboundBenjy The argument one can make against this is, again for testing purposes, Nintendo can keep all of the N64 games together on the development side which would explain the mix of mature and other rated games. The Mature ones only need to be released in a separate app on the consumer side because of the ratings. The apps are essentially the same otherwise.

I wonder if this means we'll be less likely to see more Sony games coming out for NS2.

Not a huge transformation but one that keeps true to it's nature and design. I like it!

Glad to see them continuing to support Alarmo with more alarms. I've been very happy with mine and use it daily.

This is such a Sakurai move, adding the copy abilities for every other character, which means hats and animations for every character. That's the kind of dedication and level of detail is what I love about Sakurai

Logistically it makes sense but I switched B to jump shortly after starting and have stuck with it. This way it makes it much more comfortable to hold jump and punch while in the air

Even without my familiarity with the original game, Sakurai presentations are always a treat, and now I'm definitely going to pick up Air Riders

It's always hard to say whether these are official or not. If it is, Nintendo sure is taking their time making an official announcement. Maybe it gets mentioned in a September Direct?

The demo was fun enough to change my mind. I might not play it a ton, but for $20 it's a good enough time for some short bursts of playtime.

I finished the demo last night but had to boot it up again after hearing about mouse mode. It's a very cute little secret and I love Yacht Club for including little touches like that. (I won't say what it does so folks can discover it for themselves)

Very strange they just had it in the sizzle reel at the end. This is a great enough addition that it could have been a "one more thing" instead and I'd have been just as excited

Very glad to see them do more multi-game additions. I hope they continue this trend

Dunno how co-op would work in a game like this, but I'm more curious about the controls.

Like, are there touch controls for both versions? Mouse controls for Switch 2?

I so need to see some of these speedrun strats. This is gonna be a hype game at the next GDQ I bet.

I love the throwback ad style. The set itself is pretty neat with all the little features, and the price seems pretty reasonable.

I haven't been into LEGO for a while, so I'll probably pass on this set, but it's still really neat to see the continued creativity with these kind of builds!

@Medic_alert As someone who has played through the whole game, I don't feel that is entirely true. Early levels, yeah it's easy to just dig right to the bananas or fossils, but later areas require you put more thought into how you're getting to those goodies.

I haven't gone quite as crazy as some have with clearing out a whole area, but it is very fun to just mindlessly smash through the terrain and find a bunch of gold and other secrets along the way.

Thankfully I don't suffer from motion sickness of any sort, but the camera flailing wildly now and then makes for a somewhat jarring experience now and then.

I already had a feeling it was gonna be great, and these review scores only solidified it.

Tomorrow, I'm so ready to dive in and get smashing!

MK64 is nice but we desperately need the Mario Kart World OST

Makes sense they're phasing these out since they can't be used on Switch 2 games anyway. I did make some good use of these vouchers back in the day, so it is still sad to see them go.

"In a room where Susie destroys houses, she no longer stops moving erroneously after the battle. However, she now slides around erroneously. Apparently, this is better."

Definitely better

If this initiative makes live-service games "prohibitively expensive" to make, then GOOD.

I am so sick of live service games. Way too many right now and they all strive to suck up all of your time and money

I want Majora's Mask dang it!

I used to try and collect every amiibo, but that quickly became too much for me to afford, so I cut down to only buying amiibo for games/characters I care about. With the price hikes, I'm having to really pick and choose which amiibo I get. Street Fighter doesn't do anything for me, so I'm skipping these, but I'm also skipping the TotK amiibo (except for Mineru, she's my favorite of the sages)

Sounds like the executives wanted more cash. What a disappointment. I hope all those affected by the layoffs are given sufficient severance pay and can find better work elsewhere

Not their most creative of commercials but I'm hype for the game either way.

I bought the game on release and it really is a neat little tech demo with a lot of cool information. The mini games are fine, but even after finishing it, I still believe it should have been free.

There were so many little moments reading through the information boards where I was like "Wow, I wish I didn't have to spend $10 to learn about this."

That's not a bad price, but I still don't feel like it's my kind of game, or will be worth it for me even at $20.

I just can't get excited for this game.

Gimmicky control scheme, yet a lack of personality and charm I expect from Nintendo titles.

It's gonna be a pass from me on this one.

I really have only used it for the Voice Memories so far, but that alone is neat enough for me to want to keep using it.

The Four-in-a-Row song sounds like something right out of Spongebob lol

A pretty chill soundtrack overall, but I'd much rather have the Mario Kart World OST

I haven't applied a screen protector but I rarely use my system in handheld mode and even less do I leave the house with it. No scratches so far, but I will look into a screen protector if my situation changes and I end up going out with it more often, or want to bring it with me on a trip.

I think some people aren't realizing this line specifically mentions the ranked modes where it's most important to have game operation match between different platforms.

They didn't mention Turf War, so that seems to be unaffected. In ranked modes, you're too busy being sweaty to pay attention to background details in that mode anyway. It's fine.

I downloaded the update and logged in last night just to check it out briefly and even just seeing how smooth the Anarchy Splatcast was, I was blown away

With this update and a Big Run coming this weekend, I guess I'm getting back into the game.

I'd have to find a REALLY good sale on a Game-Key Card to consider buying one. I don't mind digital so I see it as an extra step to keep the game cards around when they're already taking up space on my SD card.

That being said, I understand the desire for full-physical games from an ownership perspective and for preservation.

So many times when I'm reading through the insights the game offers and seeing the little details I couldn't just help to think "Wow, I wish I didn't have to pay $10 to find out about this"

Can't say I've played Handheld mode enough to test but I have that battery setting on so it won't charge past 90%

Probably worth mentioning that the split-screen free roam in the way you describe it isn't really the same as the full on free roam, since also as you mentioned, you can't do P-Switch challenges, and it's essentially more of a waiting room than anything.

Do I need one?
No.
Am I getting one?
Yes.

It's a HUGE missed opportunity for them to pack it in with the system, but they've go suckers like me who will spend the money for it, so I guess they win.

I know I'm part of the problem....

Didn't watch the full overview video yet but I already decided to pick it up. I figured it's cheap enough and would make for a relaxing thing to play when I'm taking short breaks from Mario Kart.

This might be a game I pick up on a sale later down the line. Glad the Switch 2 upgrade is cheap.

I hope the US gets these too but I feel like we tend to get shafted when it comes to special merch like this.

I gotta work that day, but as soon as I'm off and can enjoy my system, I'm gonna be going live and streaming my whole experience

Still no word on Rocket League getting fixed for Switch 2. I wonder if that one will end up getting a Switch 2 version like Fortnite since it's also by Epic.

Looks like a good alternative, and some neat designs!

Seems excessive for the everyday user, but I'm sure someone will have a need for it.

Definitely gotta download this ASAP! Been waiting for this theme since launch!
