Galaxy2IsTheGOAT

I recall getting stuck at a difficult wall-type jump on the GameCube version and I quit the game and never tried again. But do recall it got good reviews back then.

Dead Cells and the latest Metroidvania Prince of Persia were two of my favorite recent games so I’m very excited about the upcoming Prince of Persia/Dead Cells collab game

And Super Mario Open World the next 3D Mario

I think Nintendo sits on things more than ever. I think MK Workd has been done for years. I think the new 3D Mario has also been done for a while

I still haven’t ever connected my Switch online and I’ve owned it since 2021 and played 60 games or so.

But I may go online finally with Mario Kart World. Still probably won’t use gamechat

Disco Elysium with smoother visuals and point click

When did Goombas lose their torso?

Bowser Jr looked cooler

Very nice front. Back has way too much legal/info.

I’m guessing no artwork inside since the box isn’t transparent anymore

Really enjoying Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Thought it was gonna be too easy thus boring, but it’s not at all if you go for 100% as you go along. Getting the time trial check mark on the bonus levels is a nice little challenge.

I find the value and fun of most first party Nintendo games these days lies in going for 100%

64 is the best! Double Dash and Wii are second and third

8 never clicked got me. Your character is way too big. It just all feels off

I thought of this as a shot at GTA VI

NES to SNES
Galaxy to Galaxy 2
GB to GB Color
BoTW to TOTK

Nintendo does sequels all the time

That’s a pretty good selection from the nominee list

Frogger, Golden Tee, and Angry Birds probably next in line based on that list alone

If it doesn’t need Switch 2 to run just make it a Switch game. Then you can pick to play it on either 1 or 2

Long Live OG Switch

2D DKC is better than 2D Mario. But 3D Mario is the best in gaming period. All imho

It will be the other two monsters from the Rampage games

I’ll try out the Switch 2 joy con for a bit, and maybe use them with first party games that really take advantage of the new rumble or design, then probably keep wearing down my old trusty Switch 1 Joy cons, if it doesn’t change the “feel” of gameplay too much, for third party games where the difference may be moot

If you play a lot if Mario Kart LOCAL multiplayer, this is very good news you can all use you old switch controllers. I imagine most people that have MK8 will easily already have 2,3,4 sets of controllers now for MK World. That helps justify the higher price a bit imo

Headline says it all. This guy is a “Former Rockstar” and seems a little bitter about that

I’m all for that. I had my fun with Stardew Valley. He should do what he wants. I for one am much more excited that The Chocolatier is not a Stardew sequel.

I played sooooo much Stardew last year (my first time playing it). But I don’t think I ever will again, and that is no knock at all. Oddly it’s the opposite. It was so memorable I just don’t need to repeat it. Listening to the soundtrack from time to time when I want that huge nostalgia hit will be great. Some absolute transcendental tunes there. It’s a 10/10, unforgettable game. And I have lots of games Ive played multiple times and plan to revisit, but not Stardew.

Can’t wait for Haunted Chocolatier

Watch the next 3D Mario come out next year as well, and sweep 2026 GOTY awards

Wouldn’t that be great for all of us!

Mike York maybe focus on the gameplay for GTA. I’ve played them all and you move around like an RPG character on a map. Oh wow your game features the best art money can buy! If I wanna watch a digital art movie I’ll rent a Pixar.

Not a video game. It’s yet another interactive movie.

Nintendo should respond: while we do have exciting new ventures in the film industry (shameless plug for Zelda and Mario movies) we are a video game company first and foremost, not a movie company.

I’m guessing GTA VI will have tons of extra paid “DLC” and end up way more than MK World when actually “complete”

@PharoneTheGnome I was mostly saying that you don’t have to eat unhealthy, pre-prepared food that costs 3-4x more than if you were to make your own. If you do eat out or eat fast food daily, you could save probably $50-100 per week. Start cooking your own simple foods now, only drink water and you would have enough for a Switch 2 in a month

It’s mind blowing to me people will spend $10 on an unhealthy fast food meal but complain about $10 extra for a video game they could play for hundreds of hours

@MJF and Dark Souls 2 please. Dark Souls kinda changed how I look at video games. Would love to play 2 and 3 now.

Can you imagine how PS5 community would melt down if they announced DS4 as a Switch 2 exclusive?

That’s soft/weak

But a bunch of ‘cels on social media said we should all boycott Nintendo!!!!

haha, more room for me to dodge them green shells!!!

If you wait too long Mario kart will be full of cheaters. My main reason for buying day 1

QOL stuff fine but don’t touch that soundtrack!

Game so hard most people had no clue it eventually becomes a shooter

They are getting their name out from all of this. No press is bad press they say.

Don’t feel sorry for them at all. May have been intentional

@Spider-Kev I find the 2 blue and orange at least a bit brighter than the red/blue of Switch 1. And I’m sure they will introduce colors soon. First for a while they want Switch 2 to all have a standard “look”

Japan much better represents an avalanche. White out!

The hardware was just a steady and slow leak over the last year until we knew pretty much everything

The software was kept under complete wraps. They must have sone really scary NDA they make all their employees and software partners sign

Hardware is different because it’s obviously being produced in factories all over and so many different pieces and companies at work on it

If they do a remake, would it really hurt or take much energy to throw a faithful port in as well? I can’t imagine it would take up ANY space. We need this original game on Switch. I always get a little annoyed when they do these remakes but don’t throw in the original game. I’d be MUCH more willing to buy a physical version of the remake if they did so. And I’d have both options on one cartridge.

But no Rogue Squadron II which is worth all those combined

Though I will say at the half price that’s a good deal

@Chlocean the physical version of Lost Crown is only around $20 last I checked. I do really enjoy Metroidvanias, but I think it’s just a terrific game in general. There is a lot of great 2D platforming. Solid story and cutscenes, and satisfying combat along with the Metroidvania searching/backtracking and progression.

I greatly enjoyed Rayman Legends and the Metroidvania Prince of Persia for Switch

Dead Cells is one of my favorite games so I am VERY excited for the Prince of Persia/Dead Cells collaboration game. I hope that is still in the works

@Jhena I can tell you for a fact I have never connected my switch online. Maybe there are some physical Switch games that require you to update hardware/software/firmware… but I have yet to encounter one. 5 years now and about every game on NL’s top 50 list that comes in physical form.

I bought my Switch in 2021 and have never connected it to the internet. I’ve played about every game on NL’s 50 Best Switch games list in physical form. Have never updated my console, never updated or patched a single game. They all ran just fine to completion.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE YOUR CONSOLE OR GAMES

For Switch 2 I will likely buy the MK bundle, so I will connect online and that will be my first digital game. If Elden Ring doesn’t come complete on a cart I will buy that digitally as well. Will not but the key card games as of this moment.

@jorel262 except that they really don’t “need” the patches to run. I bought my Switch in 2021 and have bought every game on Nintendo Lufe’s 50 best Switch games in physical form. I have seriously never connected my Switch online. So no game nor my console has ever received an update or patch. I have played every game to completion with no issues.

I’ve played about 50 games now on Switch without EVER connecting my switch online. I have beaten every single one just fine. You do not ever NEED to update or patch your games.

I’m not seeing this game available-announced for Switch or Switch 2
——-
Edit NM now I see

Wasn’t Rambi in both new DKC games?

My biggest complaint with MK 8 is that your character feels way too big/camera too zoomed in. I’d rather be able to zoom out but I at least like that the camera is a little more zoomed out from what I’ve seen in World so far. With 24 racers we need that along with wider feeling roads

I knew when Nintendo started doing paid DLC it would eventually get to this point.

The main idea is to maximize continuous and ongoing revenue. One way to do this is paid DLC. Next is controlling “ownership” and reserving the rights to the tangible product they have sold.

I’ll never forget an interview with Miyamoto in the Wii or so era. He was totally against DLC. He said a game should be complete when shipped out and that’s the end of it.

@arekdougy I’m convinced they are working with second hand sellers or themselves hoarding supply for second hand resale. If you happen to not get your pre order in super quick you can buy it for three times markup. If you do get your pre order in we might ship it to you in a few years.

This is perfect for collector’s that may die in 10-15 years whenever they stop supporting your completely hollow worthless “game card”

Also pretty rotten of them not to make this clear in the description nor on the boxes

I like playing games and consoles exactly as intended. So I use joycons even when playing in docked mode. Don’t need any extras!

Also don’t care for the grip anyway. I LOVE having my arms and individual joy cons resting comfortably at my sides. I’m 6’3” and I never thought Joy cons were too small. Nintendo always has the best controllers. I know it’s not the most popular opinion amongst gamers but IMO joy cons loose at my sides are much better than classic gaming controllers where you have to hold both hands together in front of you.

@Anti-Matter GameStop often removes shrink wrap and uses the box for store display. Or keeps the boxes and game cartridges in separate drawers for some reason. So you often buy a new game that has been opened. Worst of all they put stickers on the box itself, so you have a permanent sticker or goo if you try to remove. And really you have no idea if the game is even unused. I get they need to use boxes for display only for theft purposes. But those box/games should be sold at a slight discount.

If you play in docked just plug your joy cons in overnight every few days. If you play handheld just charge your switch every few days.

Will wait to see how it makes the jump. Dark Souls Remastered kinda changed how I view video games, I thought it was REALLY good. Never one to spend much time on difficult games but took me forever to beat that dual boss (one a lion? One a big fat monster). I’ve never screamed joy so loud over beating a boss before. Great gaming moment for me.

Elden Ring is game j wanted most since I don’t have any PlayStation. AstroBot would be my second want.
