Just be happy you were alive when this piece of art came out. Perhaps Jack remembered the greatest song in the world and this is it. A triple threat at the pinnacle of his craft. Truly inspiring.

@Jireland92 First reactions to Antman 3 made it sound like "Marvel is back!" yet it ended up being their worst reviewed movie yet. Still, guessing this movie will be great fun for it's target audience.

The comments about the movie lacking plot are cringe. What Mario games have anything resembling a plot? The movie, as it should be, is aimed at kids, who love the games. If parents that grew up with Mario can sit through it and kids enjoy it, them mission accomplished.

@Tott Fractions are hard. Then again, I've never paid 4 bucks for a coffee so maybe I'm a square that doesn't know common core.

I'll pass on the paid subscription, just don't double the amount of ads for us cheapos. We can get content anywhere these days.

They should do a Poochy Nintendo Direct, highlighting every frame of animation for this compelling character. I'd love to see him in Smash as well.

@Dm9982 almost forgot about booth babes. The early 2000s, what a time to be alive.

Sad. Used to really look forward to E3 each year. There were always some really great surprises and reveals. I like Directs and things like that, but nothing compares to E3 in it's heyday.

As an old grumpy man that grew up in the 80s and 90s, it saddens me to see the decline of malls and movie theaters. I'm sure young people do things far more productive than I did when I was young, but outside of sports — movies, malls, and arcades were our social lives.

Just went from wanting this game to no longer wanting this game.

@Baler I've only played Bayonetta 1 but have the same sentiment. Enjoyed the character and story but the gameplay wasn't for me.

The people okay paying 70 dollars also tip pickup orders. They're going to be the downfall of western civilization.

Should we pay $120 for Metroid Prime 4 since they basically had to start it over? Surely the experience on offer will be twice that of a lesser game?

I did not like that video.

@Koxen the movie style characters actually wouldn't shock me at all...

Diddy Kong all but confirmed along with remastered tracks from Diddy Kong Racing.

Just recently played the first Bayonetta for the first time. I enjoyed it but sucked at the combat. I had to change it to easy to ease my frustration. I might pick up the sequels at a discount some day, and actually look forward to the story of this game.

Spent many hours in the half pipe. Snowboarding games in general have seemingly disappeared.

I might double dip digital and collectors edition. Poor performance, bad level design, and terrible controls sounds right up my alley.

I'll look for it this weekend but I'm not optimistic I'll find it.

Is there even a question about what Star Fox is best? This might not be a popular opinion, but I'd take a reboot of Star Fox or F Zero over another Splatoon or Pikmin any day. Dont let these series die.

@frabbit it would be nice if Nintendo could get back to the days of having relatively competitive hardware. In fairness, their strategy has worked for the most part, and their consoles can always do something unique the others can't.

Stories being disconnected are going to make it a pass for me. Bought OT1 day 1, didn't read much on it, but graphics were like what FF6 would look like in HD and I love the genre. Was very disappointed with the way the story was told. Later game bosses became endless battles against piles and piles of HP, only to be abruptly ended when a boss would go into a new phase 30 minutes in. Honestly one of the most disappointing RPGs to me in a long time.

Between this and the Bill and Ted shadow drop, weekend off to a good start.

I guess aimed at drunk eShop shoppers with credit to burn.

Is Metroid Forever 4 still in development? I haven't seen anything on it since the teaser or so many years ago.

I paid 70 dollars 25+ years ago for an SNES cart of Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Game prices are very fair, particularly for non special or collectors editions. With inflation in the last year, it's probably about time standard releases go up to 69.99.

Id be happy with anything Xenoblade, Metroid, or star fox announced... But I have a feeling it's mainly gonna be Zelda, ports, and indies.

Goldeneye, like most games from that era, is probably better remembered than played current day. I find it hard to play almost any 3D game from N64 and PSOne today, and I'm not a graphics snob. The devs just had not mastered 3D yet.

I have no idea what's gone on in the MG series since after MGS3. Are the "newer" titles any good? I just finished Nier Automata and as a result went out and bought the first Bayonetta to give it a try... I'd be willing to try anything Platinum Games makes after playing Nier.

@ketrac I only remember a trailer that was overly "mature" and some of the devs talking about how advanced it would be... Felt like they were ignoring why the first game is held in such high regard.

Ubisoft must've cancelled Beyond Good and Evil 2 by now?

X is great because it is unique. I'd also argue that, strangely, its the best looking game in the series.

@YoshiF2 I think they're all similar in quality, though I might give the overall nod to XB1 because it was first and still might have the best narrative. I do agree though, one of the rare series where the worst games in it are still really good. The only other series that applies to in my mind is Dark Souls.

Life will be a subscription model soon. I will support whoever maintains physical gaming. I subbed to game pass for a few months but only played it a little bit. It's like the Netflix of gaming. I spend more time looking for something to play than actually playing. I can see the value but for me, I prefer to buy the games individually.

Octopath looks like a proper remaster of FFVI yet they refuse to remake that game in this style. Meanwhile they release this random and obscure game with the visual upgrade. I don't really get it. It looks interesting but stories have come a long way since Super Nintendo and I'm not sure a story driven game from that era, with no nostalgia factor, can deliver.

Nobody cares about the graphics. The highlight of this game is the soundtrack. Sure, we'd all love modern remasters of the PSOne era final fantasies and Chrono cross, but square is too busy releasing a portion of ff7 remake every 12 years to do anything else. Their lazy ports of old games must fund their ff7 remake development costs. Still, at least we can play these remasters and remember how awesome the company once was.

Monolith is really the modern Squaresoft. Everything they make is amazing. Hoping for a collectors edition or some preorder bonuses.

I pre-ordered to get the discount. Washington Commandos about to win a super bowl.

Hopefully they make gaming pickles next.

Looks cool but not getting a RE or Eternal Darkness vibe at all. Hopefully it at least has puzzles where you find octagonal coins to place in octagonal recesses?

Hopefully it weighs a lot, runs really hot, and supports games with super tiny text.

Nothing ever grabs the real spirit of these 80s classics. I shall read your review but I'm not optimistic. This franchise has not been great in any format since the original trilogy.

It looks fun, too bad it's just average. Might try it at a deep discount because mech hack n slash sounds fun.

Looks good, if not a bit too much like Zelda. To me, the greatest Zelda like games are Legacy of Kain and Darksiders. Darksiders is one of my favorite series on the Switch.

The new twist is it will release exclusively on iOS and Android.

SMTV is amazing. Get it for that price if you don't mind digital, like JRPGs, and want a really challenging and fun game.

Would just like some news on Prime 4 and don't really care how it gets delivered.

The Suicide Machines rendition of You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch is the greatest modern Christmas song.

@BlackenedHalo surprised the soundtrack isn't that good. I know in many games, Mitsuda only composes a track or two, but they're always awesome. Even subpar games like Legaia 2 and Sands of Destruction were partially saved by his music.
