Galaxy2IsTheGOAT

I don’t think they get to 15 million this year as forecast but we will see

If they felt this way we should all be thankful they made this decision. We should all encourage game makers to release finished products on Day 1. It’s a terrible new reality but it wasn’t that way for 30 years of video games so it doesn’t need to be a standard (releasing “unfinished” games)

Not a huge fan of the Mario case. DK one is nice but I usually get Mario-themed cases if not just plain black. I have a glow in the dark, neon green mushroom case for switch. Still glows well!

Why not allow locking of buttons on the back? Doubt it comes up much but maybe there will be a game where useful

I’m gonna need more than 2 games to give me a reason

Tiny graphical updates to games I already played mean absolutely nothing to me

To me it seemed like Reggie was an actual gamer and Bowser a very casual gamer at best. I do think probably that the head of NoA has little say compared to Japan, but we know that Reggie had enough pull (and smarts) to demand WiiSports be a pack-in. Helped save Nintendo. And America is obviously the largest market. Many things lately have given me pause for the first time as a Nintendo fan.

I think the biggest thing yet to give me pause is not the higher prices, but the lack of “Nintendo extra quality/polish/detail” to go with those price increases. I’ll pay extra for the Nintendo Seal if it continues to mean what it always did

Not big into sports games but I appreciate the effort. I think this takes Nintendo and sports games from “I would never play a sports game on Switch” to “I would play a sports game on Switch if I didn’t own any other console”

But I do think it would be more “Nintendo” if they would sacrifice some graphics for better performance. I’ve always liked Nintendo the best because they prioritize gameplay and physics over graphics

Ahem…. “One of” the greatest games of all time???

I’ve played around 50 of the highest ranked games on Switch. Undertale is the only one that really disappointed me. Earthbound is one of my favorite games so I feel like I “got” what it was going for. But I just don’t get the hype at all.

I’m mostly interested to see how the pointer controls work

Collecting star bits and controlling yoshi’s tongue requires a good pointer. If you watch the trailer the pointer is often inactive and not collecting star bits. That is concerning to me. Whenever I want to replay a Galaxy game I do it on my WiiU

The reverse somersault in Mario 64 is my favorite jump ever. You only need a tiny bit of space, and you get really good height

I don’t think Switch 2 Editions should be on here

I can’t imagine ever using a walkthrough on a video game

It’s 2D and exact same as HK so I think it’s fair

Basically can mean a lot of things

The time limit is basically meaningless. There is no true game over if I recall. So what if you run out of time or stamina thou just start a new day

I bet the 59.99 is just a poke ball

Me personally enjoy watch direct have like of Nintendo

They could charge $500 for physical collector bundles and they would all sell out instantly.

At first I thought they are leaving lots of money on table with no physical option and cheap price point. But actually they are going to have a lot of people immediately buy digital, then also buy physical down the road. So it’s not a bad strategy

Great game but I’ve already played it. Wish they would stop wasting time and resources providing tiny graphical updates to games that are only a few years old

Super Mario Maker 3(d)

Just finished XCX. It’s probably my favorite Xenoblade Chronicles game. 2 and 3 kind of lost and bored me. But 1 and X are terrific games.

Ugh. Please, no. I hate DLC for anything. You had a decade to build this game. Just move onto 3 or another new game.

The Sakurai comment is funny. I’ve thought the same thing for years. Like people think he is the only guy in the world that works hard. They all have massive teams doing most of the work nowadays

Better frame rate for every Switch 1 Mario game (and people will pretend to care or be excited for it, ugh)

Good soundtrack but so far it’s the only game I was really disappointed with that I’ve played on Switch. And I “get it” because Earthbound is one of my favorite games of all time. I understood what the game is going for. But I think it is a terrible game to be quite frank.

Should probably start calling it Beyond 2025

They could have easily made this edible.

Missed opportunity.

Eat more Dramamine bananas

The next Mario will be called Mario 8 Billion. As in, up to all 8 billion people in the world will be running around the same map as Mario.

How does this work if the box is red not clear?

@Mikey_205 yeah even if star-bit collecting is much better you really need a super-accurate pointer for the Grandmaster Galaxy

Anyone else playing Rampage to get ready for Bananza?

@andykara2003 to clarify, motion controls aren’t that bad for Switch. I really enjoyed slightly adjusting my bow n arrow shots in BoTW/ToTK using hybrid standard and motion controlling, for instance

It’s the POINTER controls I have a problem with. And that’s what the Galaxy games star-bit collecting mechanic used. Or say, World of Goo for instance. No secret if you read reviews of World of Goo where that lack of pointer-precision really took something away from the game.

The Switch joy con actually would be perfect for the Galaxy spin mechanic I assume. But Galaxy 2 requires you to collect a LOT of star bits and you would have to be constantly Re-calibrating your “pointer”

Galaxy games, especially Galaxy 2, really need the Wii motion pointer and Wii+nunchuck. I would never play Galaxy games on Switch as horrible as the motion controls are. They would need to adjust how many star bits are required to collect in Galaxy 2. I still think this is why they only released Galaxy 1.

64 and Sunshine were pretty fine to play with Switch controllers

Dark Souls 4

Miyazaki will exclusively make all future games for Nintendo platforms for the next 12 years

Smart thing Nintendo has always done is make their own music for first party games and/or maintain the rights

It’s a nice try birdman, but nobody is really buying this excuse

Maybe some of these design choices make the controller more rugged and reliable over time?

Lame. Feel like they are trying too hard to make it a thing

“At least it looks great” - does it though? Maybe if it were for 64 or Gamecube

Nice to see them push physical here. And no change to the box art like Wii Nintendo Selects.

I loved Forgotten Land. Thinking about Kirby and Splatoon 3, the only games here I don’t own yet

Seems like they should have released DK64 before Bananza

You should be allowed to individually pay for and download to your console and play offline whenever you want with no expiration. I don’t know why they wouldn’t offer that and make more money

Dead Cells with a bit more platforming focus? Yes, please

“EA Sports - We have no shame”

Got it. I’ll pick up all 97 games today.

Loved Mario Strikers for Wii. That and MK for Wii were a blast to play in the early days on online Nintendo play

What else is there to buy for Switch 2?

Protect our libraries! Thanks to MKWorld they can really throw the book at him by considering each game $80
