Doesn’t seem like much excuse for a choppy frame rate, the game doesn’t look that demanding. Glad I chose a couple other launch games over this one but may get it on a sale one day.
Definitely an interesting game but of the 4 games I got for the Switch 2 unfortunately this wasn’t one of them. Maybe I’ll get it on a sale one day but nice to know it is a quality title.
MK world is fascinating, been nonstop fun for me but I do wonder if the free roam will ever get old. There is no record kept of the missions or no map so far for what I can tell.
The courses are all pretty great. The Bowsers Castle and Rainbow Road feel like a Universal ride with how immersive they are.
Loving everything about the console so far. Love the strong magnets the controllers use to connect back to the grip or dock. The handheld itself is superb, nice large screen, great audio output, and great performance. The mouse controls are an underrated feature I will say. HD rumble also seems improved and makes for a more engaging experience.
The buttons still kinda feel like a cheap plastic to me but they could be worse ig.
Personally I find this “game” pretty good for 10$ and totally worth it. It is actually an awesome app to let you know if your tv is setup properly as mine wasn’t properly setup to run the 4K, 120hz, and HDR until it let me know.
This game looks great and I have never given it a try. Going to be one of the few launch games I get with my Switch bundle.
PS: I don’t get the hatred for the game key card releases. Yes they are annoying and take away some of the value, but to outright not buy the game seems outrageous.
Hate to say it but I am starting to wonder if I am now going to be paying 10$ for this. It’s more bulky than I expected and looks like an interesting couple of hours.
@drumnbayes It is also pretending all the audience is going to be comfortable with this person as the pick, in which a good portion of people are not. Hate to say that, but it is simply the truth.
One of my favorite games of all time, and definitely my favorite racer of all time. Not sure how this game doesn’t get more love and is overlooked because of GX but ig I’ll find out why once Switch 2 is out.
Also, they are both great but Japan’s is just more detailed so I chose that.
I’ll be getting the Switch 2 Bundle and the Carrying Case + Screen Protector. Just an extra 5$ for me in the end so I don’t care. I might eventually get the Pro controller but definitely in no rush to get one, same goes for the Camera.
Definitely a few darn good tracks in here. Defective (Frenzy) is probably one of my favorites. Last Engage, Bright Sandstorm (Fiery), Tear Streaked (Ice), Garden Of Light I also recommend. Im higher on 3 Houses soundtrack but this is still splendid as well.
Im hoping to play the next Madden or College Football game on Switch 2 and it have crossplay with other systems. Might be able to drop the Xbox all together if that happens.
How about a startup jingle or something. Loved that about the Wii U, made the main menu feel like it was worth staying around on. Nice to hear they may have upgraded the eShop though since it play videos of the games and hopefully be better all around as well.
I thought it looked pretty neat but yeah no way am I getting this lol I already gotta be extra sure about taking a risk on paying 70, 80$ for a game and making sure its going to be worth it to.
Wind Waker HD is just such a beautiful game that it makes the GameCube one look almost ugly in comparison. I think I will take the chance to appreciate playing the GameCube original however and see the differences. Much more excited to try F-Zero GX as I absolutely love X on N64
The whole situation with the prices means games like Kirby Air Riders, Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokemon Z-A, etc. are going to make me think twice if I really want to buy the game or not.
Pissed me off but is what it is. Hope eShop is better and they added some tunes and sound effects or something, would really make this UI way less bland and make it feel refreshing and appreciate it the simplicity.
This better be like 5 or 10$ or have more to it, while it looks neat and kind of fun, if there is not much more to it then having it be a paid download is just downright strange.
Thought this was Odyssey 2 for a moment. I thought this looked okay, honestly didn’t seem like much other than a bunch of smashing to me. Hopefully I am wrong but I got a feeling this might be a disappointment.
@Flugen Boy I couldn’t disagree more. It is a surprising set of music and I can see what you mean by it feeling like a different games music but it is an outstanding soundtrack and fits just fine once you start to accept it.
Would love to see this game on a Switch 2. It runs fairly well but could run a whole lot better on Switch 2. The game is great but it is a bit bloated in missions and a bit much at times to handle all the concepts and gameplay mechanics. Still, I gave it a 9.
I absolutely loved Octopath II. I picked 4 characters and played all of their paths (Osvald, Temenos, Throné, and Agnea) to completion. Really enjoyed all of them but Agnea’s got boring towards the end. Would have played the others but eventually other games come out and they got put on the back burner.
@PikminMarioKirby You saw a 1 minute clip of what is essentially the same game with updated graphics. No way you can really make that conclusion so soon me boy.
Can’t believe it’s real! Art style looks great and looms like its going to be another gem of a game. 2026 is a bit sad to hear but I suppose knowing it exists is great.
Never been a big Pokemon guy but I have enjoyed a couple games. Funny enough those were X and Legends Arceus, and this looks like an exact blend of the 2. As long as it doesn’t run like Scarlet/Violet I may end up getting it when the time comes.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but this new mario kart game makes MK8D look bland as hell!

Re: Talking Point: Does Your Switch 2 Vent Smell?
@Zufolobelisk
Your attitude sucks and if you think replying to 8 people with 8 different comments doesn’t look like spam then you are clueless.
Re: Talking Point: Does Your Switch 2 Vent Smell?
I was wondering when the reviews were coming, maybe today, instead it’s about the smell of the Switch 2. Hilarious!
Re: Want To 100% 'Welcome Tour'? You'll Need To Cough Up For Some Accessories
@Spider-Kev Completely agree with you on that.

Re: Publishers Are "Thanking" Nintendo For Game-Key Cards On Switch 2
People seem to poop on the game key cards just as bad as cloud gaming. I don’t think they are particularly close to being as bad as each other.
Re: Video: Check Out How Snappy The Switch 2 eShop & Menus Are In This First Look
I am pleased with this UI and the eShop runs perfectly so far. Just give it some of that old eshop music and Id be applauding!
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Day One Update Is Out Now, Here Are The Patch Notes
But its not launch day yet…
Edit: As others have noted it is in different countries. Just still seemed to early for all that but apparently not!
Re: Video: Street Fighter 6 Showcases New Character Outfits
Im interested in this but am probably going to get Bravely Default and Hogwarts Legacy over this game. Maybe on a sale down the road I will dip in.
Re: Video: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster Shows Off Switch 2 Mouse Minigames

Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Eyes "Popular" Princess Pick
@JPEGMakima Yeah but the reasons for neither being popular are definitely not the same
Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Eyes "Popular" Princess Pick
@drumnbayes It is also pretending all the audience is going to be comfortable with this person as the pick, in which a good portion of people are not. Hate to say that, but it is simply the truth.
Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Eyes "Popular" Princess Pick
Maybe as Shiek, otherwise its just a no for me.
This movie is based off a very traditional game so it just isn’t a good fit. Would work better with a completely new IP.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: F-Zero X
One of my favorite games of all time, and definitely my favorite racer of all time. Not sure how this game doesn’t get more love and is overlooked because of GX but ig I’ll find out why once Switch 2 is out.
Also, they are both great but Japan’s is just more detailed so I chose that.

Re: Another Fire Emblem Soundtrack Looks To Be Joining Nintendo Music

Re: PSA: Switch Online Includes Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack Access At "No Additional Cost"
@Dm9982 Hogwarts is launching as an entirely new edition so I doubt it. Would be nice though
Re: PSA: Switch Online Includes Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack Access At "No Additional Cost"
Well at least that is one less increasing cost to not worry about.
After reading this more this is actually really nice! Hope they do this with Xenoblade X as well.
Re: Uh Oh, Switch 2's Home Screen Looks Just As Bland As We Feared

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
People saying it’s just a pro model than a new console are insane. It’s the Switch 2, not sure what else there is to expect.
Re: Nintendo Expects You To Pay For Its Switch 2 "Welcome Tour" User Guide
This better be like 5 or 10$ or have more to it, while it looks neat and kind of fun, if there is not much more to it then having it be a paid download is just downright strange.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Tomodachi Life
I think they are all pretty good and while one could argue the NA one is to crowded, I think they got the logo right with that one.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)
@JohnnyMind I have no clue how you can alternate between that many games lol.
Xenoblade Chronicles X for me, a few Chapters in and it is a stellar game. Also playing Black Ops 6 routinely and College Football against a friend
Re: Nintendo's Logo Will Adorne The Seattle Mariners Jersey This MLB Season
Pretty sweet as you really never see this from Nintendo. How about a Nintendo Nascar?
Re: Poll: What Switch Game Could You Not Live Without?
Looks like I’m the 1 in 13 people who voted FE Three Houses. That game is just more than a game compared to all the other ones.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Removal Of Switch Online SNES Game
One of the few games I actually enjoyed on the SNES app. Its a brilliant Soccer game for its time.
Re: How Would You Rate The Pokémon Presents Showcase For February 2025?
Never been a big Pokemon guy but I have enjoyed a couple games. Funny enough those were X and Legends Arceus, and this looks like an exact blend of the 2. As long as it doesn’t run like Scarlet/Violet I may end up getting it when the time comes.
