Galaxy2IsTheGOAT

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

Why in the world would you buy a used/second hand Switch 2 this early in its life cycle? All but guaranteed to have some kind of issue, as that would be the only reason someone would sell theirs this early

Part of me says wait for second iteration, even if it’s 2-3 years away. My Switch 1 backlog has that much time if I try to complete it. But I mostly play in docked mode so the screen issue is not a big deal. Though I see what they are talking about pretty clearly, and I am the type that has a hard time differentiating frame rates and such. So I know it’s noticeable, and kind of a “once you see it” annoyance

Xenoblade Chronicles X

I think and hope they go somewhere completely different with Mario. Since the Switch 2 is really just a Switch Pro and they didn’t get too inventive with the hardware this cycle, do it with Mario and Zelda

Also, hopefully they push the Switch 2 specs to the max with Mario. If that means it’s a few year off, fine. Mario Kart World was developed for Switch 1 originally.

Yeah I’m sure Nintendo has one primary dev team that can only work on a single game at a time

Do we know the game is going to be big though?

I don’t mind shorter games, and it really has little to do with how great a game is anyway

Sounds like I’m the same age as Ollie. Got Gamecube when it released early in high school. Luigi Mansion is the game I played most at first. Wind Waker and Prime 1 probably my strongest memories. I will always say Gamecube is the best Nintendo console. But I’m partial. I will not waver on the FACT that the Gamecube controller is the best controller ever.
