Been a pretty quiet year for the Nintendo side of things so far for me this year, hoping for some big announcements. All I’ve played is Unicorn Overlord and a little bit of the Peach game.
Looks pretty interesting. Also looks a bit bland in the presentation and that trailer music is especially generic. Could be wrong though, definitely seems worth checking out.
Unicorn Overlord will probably be my game of the year so glad to see it doing so well. Game is truly awesome and will probably to 150+ hours just to beat
It’s a damn good game but I am not sure if I’m getting this, and if I don’t on Day 1 I probably never will as this game will be as forgotten about as the first Luigis Mansion on the 3DS
Now THIS is a splatfest theme! I taught myself to play the keyboard growing up and made my own tunes on it so you already know which team I’m on! Its the superior instrument to not to mention.
I already bought it and have been enjoying it quite a bit. Tournaments is the only mode I really mess with. I tried MyGM and thought it was awful. It took like 30+ minutes to get into my first game and I got fired for messing up the finances by the time the first game came around. It was a big waste of time.
The controls are a bit hit and miss but are mostly solid to use. Makes miss games like PES 2008 on the Wii because that game used the wii remote quite cleverly and had such impressive controls.
Got the game maybe a year ago and played it for a couple months and enjoyed it. This past month I have been playing it everyday and it has become rather addicting.
Gonna get FC 24 and maybe Sea of Stars. Always wanted to get Tropical Freeze but never gonna feel like paying more than 20$ For it after already playing and loving it on Wii U.
Awesome game, does a lot of things right except the story and making the characters more meaningful like they were in Three Houses, but they were still plenty characterful once you took the time to get to know them. I know it wasn't the best Nintendo game last year but I think I probably enjoyed and played it the most.
Demo was so good that I used my last voucher on it. Really looking forward to it! As others have mentioned, the default camera speed was ridiculously slow and definitely worth adjusting in the settings.
Nice to see a positive review although a 7 isnt to stunning. I really enjoyed Master Detective Archives last year and it got a lot of 7’s.
Splatoon 3 is my most played game roght behind both Fire Emblem games. Its just so easy to pick up and play and it never gets old. Also I feel like the servers have improved massively from the earlier days and no one talks about that.
Another Code I use my last voucher on. Demo was so good that it made me want to get it. I’ll wait for my reviews on Prince of Persia but I’m interested.
On a serious note, its gonna be interesting how this game turns out. Has lots of potential but I feel like it will end as quickly as Super Mario Bros Wonder and not be as nearly as good. For a 60$ game I hope it will be truly great.
Now its my turn for my prediction. I do think it will be revealed maybe later in this year but wont be available until 2025. I think Nintendo is hesitant in going into the next console and rightfully so since the Switch has been incredibly successful and fears of a failed launch for the next console.
Gotta be one of the best games ive ever played that only spent 20ish hours on. Wish there was more to do and had some extra modes like NSMBU, my only complaint about the game really.
This egg mechanic would of been interesting for sure. Wonder if it would of been like in Yoshis Story and other Yoshi games?
Probably one of the few only interesting games announced for 2024 so I will probably get the game but doubt I’ll get this edition, as nice as it looks.
This will fill my Fire Emblem craving for the year if we don’t get that at all next year
Not a great looking year tbh, but some of these could be really great surprises. Unicorn Overlord DecaPolice are the most interesting and the rest are toss ups if I’ll get them or not.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
I think there was something there for everyone to like and I thought it was solid overall.
Seems like a good year for indie games to make a impact as Nintendo doesn’t have much on the table so far this year.

Re: Rumour: Switch Successor Might Not Be Launching Until 2025
I totally think that as there really is no rush for them to do that and they should take their time with it to ensure its success
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Will Reportedly Drop Next Week
Hmm a bit disappointing but I’d like to see more of Unicorn Overlord

Seaoson 2 started out slow but it picks up nicely and gets interesting.
Re: New Spy X Family Switch Game Is Getting A Western Release This June
Was hoping this might meant it was going to come out in English but I’ll get it either way unless it just absolutely sucks lol.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator "Done Adding Major New Content" In Version 1.6

Will be neat to see how the update is.

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Artist Celebrates First Anniversary With New Artwork
@WreckitRyan I completely agree but man this could of been that much better of a game with a better story.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Artist Celebrates First Anniversary With New Artwork
Awesome game, does a lot of things right except the story and making the characters more meaningful like they were in Three Houses, but they were still plenty characterful once you took the time to get to know them.

Re: A New Quake Game Has Seemingly Been Teased
I bought Quake 2 for like 5& with the gold points I had and omg what an excellent game for that value.
Re: Splatoon 3's Mincemeat Metalworks Stage Will Temporarily Close Next Week
@SplatRay001
Brinewater is fairly basic, but I find myself enjoying that stage quite a lot.
Re: Splatoon 3's Mincemeat Metalworks Stage Will Temporarily Close Next Week
I like this map but there is many others that are excellent in comparison to this one.
The one they should close down and rework is Barnacle and Dime. That stage is by far the worst in Splatoon 3.

Nice to see a positive review although a 7 isnt to stunning. I really enjoyed Master Detective Archives last year and it got a lot of 7’s.

Much needed game coming out in a year that is looking pretty dry.

WOAH RATED M!!?!?

I think Nintendo is hesitant in going into the next console and rightfully so since the Switch has been incredibly successful and fears of a failed launch for the next console.
I do hope it is backwards compatible to.
