Takes the cake for being able to combine abilities. Loved that so much, and despite kirby 64 being a meh game overall (too easy), messing with the combined abilities was awesome.

Looks and sound great.

Seems that they went more with the fantasy setting this time around, but it doesn't matter.

If smash doesn't release before, I'll buy the switch with this game.

"Button mashing, brainless AI and a predictable story" :>

Jokes aside, I might give it a try, depending on what characters I can use.

Can't wait!

The only good thing about the E3 along with the xenoblade 2 part, IMO.
Was a bit disappointed overall :/

Looks nice but I can't really bring myself to play a console version of Skyrim when I can play ti on PC, with all the mods and the pure fun you can have when messing with the console commands.

When will we get non-neon colors?

The neon ones are meh

PSP and 3DS are my faves consoles.
So much to play once you have homebrewe'd them.

Great, seems like the 3DS has some more use left.

Still, need to finish my backlog for it...

It better have more postgame.

Otherwise, I guess this will be the final straw for me, as I'll look for the Remakes of gen 4 & 5 only :/

Will there a way to play as an octoling later?

Well, as others have mentioned, hoping the single player campaign is longer than the previous game :B

Don't see it happening (where the likes of Pokken failed)

Maybe Splatoon.

Though the eSport bubble is currently growing on an alarming rate.

Once the bubble pops, probably only a few games will be left there.

(BTW, cue in the baseless `I hate eSports` comments :>)

Yes please.

The open world was one of the beat designed I've ever play.

However it lacked on the Zelda element that dungeons are (the ideas are fine, but I rather have a traditional zelda dungeon)

Once they manage to combine that with more zelda elements correctly, then we will be at the best zelda game ever made.

Just the dock for the most part.
Meh.

If it had some Navy Blue Joycons then yes.

Though the back of the switch does looks nice with that design.

The left Joycon is the unsung hero. It sacrificed itself to protect the main console and the right joycon.

At least replacing a joycon is more accessible than the whole console (Which should probably work in docked mode)

@retro_player_22 Playing safe by releasing similar games all over again will only take them so far :>

Besides, that was not the thing I was targeting. I mean in how instead of shutting down quality fangames (like AM2R), why can't instead work with something to appease everyone? (of course, it could be unannounced, but lets see. They know how to managed their IP? Well, what about Metroid? Surely Federation Force wasn't that great)

SEGA does what Nintendon't
(As in, working with fans, because from what I've read, the sonic mania engine base was a fanmade one)

Last game I'm looking forward on the 3DS.
I'll be waiting by playing FE: Echoes until this is released.

Can't wait!

I hope I can use the Ika Musume costume again :<

"Convince media/gamers"

Hah, good luck with that!

@VENOMVSCARNAGE how is the game unbalanced?

As it currently it stands, sm4sh is pretty balanced considering over 50 characters.

I don't know why nintendo decided to remove certain features from MK8(D) like the boost when you fall off track.
Feels too me that they're forcing all these changes to close the gap between skilled players and casual ones, which you can also see on almost all the new tracks for MK8 (which as pretty as they are, they are boring)

@Rei Super Circuit is great with the tracks, they are an improvement over the SMK ones and they don't feel that long. Plus SC had all the SMK tracks.

Can be used for trolling too :>
(Gifting the empty box with irrelevant stuff inside to think there's a console there)

Not a fan of the Neon green & pink color though.

But I guess I'll take it if there's no other better bundle later this year.

Also, this opens up for other possible pro controller editions later on.

Not sure.

With how much MK8 is gimped to be even more casually, haven't found yet what works for me online.

Eh, Villager with the gold parts (minus the tires) for me.
I love the pipe frame too, for the nostalgia factor.

@Refurin awesome, thanks for the head ups!

The comment section didn't disappoint this time.

10/10, just what I expected regarding the news :>

@Giygas_95 'Serious Vibe"? What? If all, you could get to know a character personality more

Besides, shipping never took the serious vibe on genealogy of the Holy War :>

Friday can't come soon enough!

Too bad I couldn't get the special edition :/

But w/e. Looking forward to use my New 3DS some more.

This is the last game I'm looking forward on the 3DS. After this is released, I guess there's nothing more for me (unless the superstar saga remake is true)

Okay. Just the Paraglider and kart body.
Never liked the gold wheels.

The standard tires are okay.

I wonder how we would be now if this was a thing back then.

Not sure how rainbow road is the 1st one.
It was a disappointing.

I feel the only thing going for it is the part where you go into the space station thing. Other than that, just a generic, boring race track like 90% of the new courses in the game. (which is weird, because all the retro tracks have been updated wonderfully)

But for the other 3 positions, I agree. They provide something unique and are interesting enough to keep one engaged.

@Tyranexx I'm on the same boat too.
Updated my normal red 3ds with a New 3DS, and it's a much needed update with the better screen (and the face plates!).

Though they aren't any more normal sized New 3DS? Wasn't the 3D Land bundle supposed to be the default one? (dunno as I got that one)

@dkxcalibur that's the thing.
It is bettr to make a normal 3DS game than an exclusive one becase the install base with the older model will always be bigger than the one with the new model.

This is to close that gap and to give a chance for new 3ds exclusive games to surface, and with better hardware, to increase it's lifespan while the switch takes over.

It's needed because the cheaper version (normal 2ds) is a popular choice, and since it's using the old hardware, it's holding back the possible games.

This is to give it a little extra boost before the Switch takes over.

Just when I was thinking of replaying this, this sounds awesome.

Hoping for new content/areas!

Is the mercedes DLC included? Or was it removed?

Interesting!
Caught me by surprise.

If this was available at the time when I bought my new 3DS, I would have take it for the price, since I don't care about the gimmicky 3d :>

My favorite Game & watch title.

I just can't get enough of it. I hope one day I can own one.
Currently have to settle for the versions in Game & watch gallery 1 and 4, as well as game & watch collection 2 on the DS.

Can't wait to get this game when I pick up a switch!

And agreed, I rather have 60fps for tighter controls, especially when avoiding bomb blasts and maneuvering for escaping dire situations.

Also, for you complaining about not being able to handle 1080 resolution at 60fps, blame konami for using Unity (which I presume is cheaper than making the game from scratch specifically to the console).

I guess it's better than nothing

Will get this digitally. I predict this will be on pretty much everyone else switches, so it would be useful to have it available regarding what game cart I'm using.

Also, why is gold a mario a racer? Don't we have enough with metal mario?

What's next? Cobalt yoshi?

Not sure really. I thought MK8 new tracks were really boring, like Ice Ice Outpost, coupled with the stiff/restrictive control, most of the new stages were boring (with the exception of a few and that most of the tracks look amazing)

I ended up playing more the retro courses because they were given a nice treatment and they keep the interesting course design.

But I guess I can give this another shot with the battle mode.

@liljmoore IIRC you can kill them with the fire rod in Link's Awakening.

I would complain, but it's mario kart (so it can't be taken seriously competitive) but I don't see why people complained about that (get good instead of complaining :> ) It made it more risk/reward since you could go off track, like the video explains.

Besides, didn't the game ranked you with players who were on your level? it's not like in MKDS where you either snake or lose

>bob-omb blast

Sold.
I can tolerate the boring kart driving physics/mechanics of the game for battle mode. Ended playing online battle mode a lot in MKW. Also nice to see SNES battle course 1 in there!

It was bound to happen.

I guess there will be no shortage of interesting uses that games can provide with the HD rumble :v

If they will indeed keep the promise of every major franchise on the console, then it will boost even more sales. Needs some slid games along it's lifespan to keep it afloat.

Hope it keeps the momentum.

But I seriously think Nintendo should now start to improve on how it treats it's fans (see the 'discontinued nes mini despite fans wanting more)

Interesting, a home menu theme and a prima guide. Now that's something I'll accept (as they are way better than cheap overpriced discounts...)

So, I don't understand.

What prevents an user to get it and then share it across the internet to other users? If so, why pay the coins in the first place?
