@BongoBongo123 No thanks, not everything needs to be 3D.

" I really, really don't want to go to French prison."

Don't worry, it's cosy in there.

I don't need Youtube on a video game console when I can use a phone or an actual TV screen.

@gloom "in 2025 it is unacceptable and completely shocking that YouTube, Netflix, etc. were not all available day 1 on a major console release." I think it's exaggerating to say that it's "unacceptable" and "shocking" to not have non-video game focused features on a video game console.

Why not the team behind Sonic Boom?

I think that's obvious but I am thinking of the future of the series once Miyamoto is gone.

Maybe Nintendo just ended up having stronger, varied iconic IPs?

@riggs I feel like some think they're still in the 90's or something.

@benmalsky198 I used to love SpongeBob and Minecraft when I was younger but when I play a Sega kart game I prefer the All-Star Racing ones with actual Sega characters in them.

CrossWorld also costs a lot and there aren't many non-Sonic Sega characters. I don't care about SpongeBob or Minecraft.

It's a good racing game but not 70 bucks good.

I'd also argue that the lack of Sega characters besides Sonic (yes, Miku, Yakuza and Persona are Sega but not first party IPs) makes me long for a new All-Star Racing game. The comeback of the Babylon trio and the Extreme Gear isn't convincing me enough to pretend it's like Riders 4 either.

On PC I can play All-Star + Transformed for a cheaper price. Same with MK8 Deluxe having much more content on the Switch.

The + and - buttons should be accessible above.

Same with the screenshot one because I want to take it at the right moment.

Speed booster would've worked.

The fully functional part is the most impressive aspect.

A for jumping is literally the standard for Nintendo games since Super Mario Bros at least.

The B button placement used for jumping is only relevant for western Playstation and Xbox players since X was for jumping in the former and A&B are reversed for the later.

@Bustacap Sorry for the late reply but the L and R shoulder buttons are analog?

@Bustacap Good to know. Will be they PC compatible?

Are the shoulder buttons analog? If not then why?

Furthermore: I wish the ZL button was like the Z button but mirrored. I always felt like it was a major missing opportunity that Nintendo hasn't built that pad with that to begin with (nor a proper Select button).

@PinballBuzzbro This!

I cannot fathom how icky it is when it's a game with many child friendly IPs in it.

Nightdive is barely releasing physical games so they have little to say about that.

@OrtadragoonX Nostalgia is strong with this one but no, the Playstation 2 and original Xbox did it better and even then it didn't match the Wii's sleek and minimalistic cover art with the logo on the upper right corner to let more space for the cover art to breath. The Wii was like the Switch 1 and the Wii U like the GC with the brand logo on top but the curvature made it seem weird compared to a straight line.

The original PS3 cover art (with the Spiderman 3 font "Playstation 3" vertically on the side) was perfect to keep the cover art clean while still being recognisable. I wish more manufacturer would've gone that way (like the Gameboy) to keep the cover art as a perfect rectangle/square.

Nintendo should've done like the 3D and flipped the Switch 2 logo's side to avoid confusion without breaking the cover look.

@RadioHedgeFund I'm glad to see someone actually reasonable and pragmatic in the video game landscape.

Sonic does not have 1/20th of the production value of Mario.

This is kinda cursed but interesting.

A physical compilation would be better.

Turn based RPGs are slowly dying...

@Whirlwound And this is good for preservation since they don't seem to release it physically.

@Dogorilla I am eager to see Aardman's Pokémon as well. Stop-motion and Claymation will always be alive.

What's the point of owning something physically if you cannot even use it?

Yes please!

Not the best but still worth it.

More Vita games getting ported is a good thing.

Now I really hope Falcom will do the same with Seven and Napishtim before they completely go on the Switch 2.

@andyg1412 Why are you sounding upset about a Kirby game getting produced? This is a second-party franchise developed by Hal Lab not the main in-house devs of Nintendo so that's not like the series is stealing a slot for another Nintendo's. Being upset because a franchise is getting more games isn't productive. Also the series had no release last year so it's not like as if they're milking it.

And yes, they sell pretty well (especially for a franchise that is primarily on handhelds), Forgotten Land is a big success.

@LikelySatan What does "Media Literacy" really means? Also why saying "woof"?

@DiggleDog @X68000 the so-called "Seal of Quality" was merely a commission a company paid to Nintendo to agree to publish their games.

It's not an actual legal seal.

Only a rumour so not officially announced.

@NintendoWife : "Forgotten Land has to be what they base future titles on. Not that I know all the previous Kirby games, but it feels like FL elevated the series from okay but messy to the A-league of Nintendo franchises."

Are you serious? The franchise was not "ok but messy" before Forgotten Land at all.

Why when people try to fix things they end up creating something more cluttered?

@Spider-Kev I don't care too much on Majora aside from the creepiness.

But overrated or not you cannot deny that it's one of the best game ever made.

More Wario is good. We need Ware Twisted thanks to the gyro.

Where's the remake of the VB one?

@axelhander How so?

Honestly I feel that the only "overrated" Zelda game is Ocarina of Time (and rightfully so considering how much it revolutionised video game as a whole).

ALTTP set the bar higher for Zelda and action/adventure. There is not really any fundamentally bad Zelda game aside from either small spinoffs or the CDI games.

3D Land and New Super Mario Bros DS were genuinely creative.

@StewdaMegaManNerd "But overall, I think the overall style of both games works best with 3D Land as that was for a handheld, where a full fledged 3D Mario wouldn’t have worked as well."

Which is quite interesting since the original DS had Mario 64.

@N00BiSH Also it basically got two: one on the GBA then ALBW.

This is sadly the price to produce masterpieces...

@PinderSchloss Welcome to Japanese work culture from the previous century.

Anyway, the Nintendo we know today didn't really exist until pretty recently in History.

@cedarhyped And sadly a lost one...

What about others?

@Salnax If everything is subversive then nothing will ever be.

Also if feels like these devs are actually ashamed of the DS genre so they must mock the genre instead.

@Chimichanga There are good indie games.

@Bunkerneath I wasn't aware Ecco was also on the SMS.

The PlayStation already had its own Animal Crossing-esque life sim game.

This also proves that when you're buying digital products you don't actually own them.

I'd rather buy Ys Felghana in physical.

On the other hand I'll get Ys III Wanderer from Ys in its original PC-88 version from the Egg Console collection.

I am still waiting for Ark of Napishtim and Seven on the Switch (Memories of Celceta was kinda disappointing, especially after playing Dawn of Ys).

The Wii game is one of the very few ones where all characters spoke in their own languages without having a forced accent, grammatical error and they all were done in a good way. Think of it like Street Fighter IV or Team Fortress 2 characters, they all came from various places in the world with their own cultural quirks yet still were good characters with an actual personality beyond these.

Too modular for its own good.

Why are they doing that?
