Mario Kart World whilst a fun game, i fell off pretty quickly i played about 10 hours so far, beat the Grand Prixs, they did something strange that i never seen in a Mario Kart game before when you win gold on 100cc it automatically registered gold on the lower difficulty, ie 50cc, giving no reason to play that difficulty level, i don't appreciate these so called intermission tracks at all, they are so jarring, they take me out of the Mario Kart experience.
To be honest they seem to have lost direction with this game, this feeling reminds me when Starfield came out, the idea of Fallout in space and go anywhere you want sounded amazing, same here here for Mario Kart World, drive anywhere you want, just like Starfield in reality it doesn't really add up to much fun.
Started the demo on this and will be picking this up, in fact i have already ordered, the Switch physical.
Trails seems a daunting series to get into well now is the perfect time with this entry.
I played thought cold steel 1 and 2 on ps4, those were fun , great story and plot twists and now most of the series is on The Nintendo Switch it easier to get into as all games are in one place, i think we are missing Cold Steel 1 and 2 but they surely come to the west as they are already on the Japanese eshop.
I can't fathom why this game has received so many articles, whilst other games that come out and are actually good fall through the cracks, seems more and more these past few years that certain games are being pushed through and seemingly promoted by media outlets that don't deserve to be, integrity seems to be a forgotten quality.
Never really took to these Borderland games, did try one on PS3, the art style wasn't appealing, didn't really know it was coming to a Nintendo platform this time around, seems to have been a bit of controversy over the price of the game.
We can argue forever on this, its clear a section of gamers want physical games and choose not to purchase game key cards, i have around 300 Switch physical games, i can't see getting to that number on Switch 2, i would have purchased Bravely already and a few other games by now but as of today i only have Donkey Kong Bananza.
I like playing a few rounds of online races, but that system of driving between courses got old real quick.
Also would like to add I think course design on newer MK tracks since the booster pack for MK8 deluxe has been far from stellar, the original dlc tracks we got on the Wii U version were fantastic, a few stand out tracks here and there but the never fully reach the Double Dash days of greatness.
The price of these Arcade Archives games of late has gotten a bit steep, and from looking at the eshop they are offering 2 versions, S1 and S2, i don't really see the point, what's different?
I have bought about 15 of these while i am pleased with the emulation and options however the variety of games is lacking, still waiting for R-Type Leo.
War in the North is the best Lotr game i have played, Lego Hobbit is good too, although that latest game looks horrible, don't understand why these old classic ips are are falling away, Star Wars outlaws is another example, i guess the people who made these franchises great are no longer involved.
I ordered the Asian version of this on playasia a while back but got an email last week saying that there wasn't going to be an Asian version, and that I could change it for the Japanese version instead.
@Kaile I'm playing Dragon Quest XI these days and seen this was a similair game but with ack and slash elements, which other games would you say it was like?
Before the update i had just paid of my home and took out a loan on the extension, after the update i went into start paying off the bill on the extension and seen that there wasn't any bill there, a glitch after the update?
4 games we have are Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong JR, Moon Patrol and In The Hunt, bought also a few of the Johnny Turbo Arcade game like Joe and Mac, two crude dudes, and a bunch of Sega Ages titles.
This seems like the definitive version of Sonic 2, its a game we keep going back to and M2are doing great work with these remasters, Sonic Mania, Sonic CD and Sonic 2 have all been played a lot this past week at home, my son loves these games.
I'm hoping we see Golden Axe Revenge of death adder in one of these releases.
Been hoping for this for a while, its been either buy an expensive copy on ebay or use an emulator for mame, I guess Irem is now owned by Konami,, hope we see more stuff like this and also games from Hudson soft.
Me and my son got to play this game 2 years ago here in Norway at a games converntion, the guys making the game are from Sweden i believe, my son was at their booth 3 or 4 times in one day to play it, he was obsessed with it.
We have 10 joy cons that are used across 3 switches at home, we have had the joy stick swapped out on 2 of them because of drifting, i was playing Ys VIII with a drifting stick making it unplayable, i have since picked up a couple of those wired powerA controllers, they are better quality than what Nintendo is offerings, gimmicks gimmicks gimmicks Nintendo.
Big fan of Contra and Konami, picked up the Contra collection, having already downloaded the Castlevania and Arcade collections i can say this is without a doubt the worst of the 3 collections.
I transfered all my stuff from the Wii over to the Wii U, i bought a lot of stuff when the news broke last year that the store was going offline, some gems on the system that aren't available anywhere else, for example the 3 rebirth games by Konami
No doubt these people playing at the million point plus level on Donkey Kong are talented, and have squeezed every last way to earn points out of the game, don't understand all the hate for Billy Mitchell, obviously he is talented at these classic games.
More tracks would be nice, i bought the DLC on the Wii U when it came out, and that was DLC done the right way, paying a reduced rate for 2 packs up front that were great quality.
That said, whilst he Switch is fantastic in its own right, as someone who supported the game on Wii U, there wasn't much of an upgrade for me, give us 8 or 16 new tracks based on various other nintendo games, and maybe have more online events, they need to make online a bit more exciting.
I had exported all the the Guitar Hero and Rock Band Track Packs to my PS3 when they came out, The Metallica track pack was removed without even a wimper, not even visable in my downloads list, i know it affects so few people,but i couldn't re download the songs after my first Ps3 died.

Re: Ubisoft Provides More Detail On Assassin's Creed III Remastered's Switch-Exclusive Features
Don't really understand why this game gets a bad press, i have played and beat this game, a great story that ends the story of Desmond Miles.
I think its great that Ubisoft is supporting the Switch with titles like this, there will be many Nintendo fans that have never played a AC game.

Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Keep Releasing DLC For Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
More tracks would be nice, i bought the DLC on the Wii U when it came out, and that was DLC done the right way, paying a reduced rate for 2 packs up front that were great quality.
