@Ogbert It might be worth contacting the developers if you have purchased both 1 and 2 and now have no way to get the upcoming DLC without additionally purchasing All You Can Eat.
It is possible that they will help out in some way... I once purchased a game on Steam, which was a very simple game but had major performance issues... Steam refused to refund me but the game devs sent me a code to download on Switch.
@Ogbert If you already own the earlier games, what I was saying doesn't apply... I was saying that the earlier games should stop being available for purchase and all buyers going forward would just get the All You Can Eat version.
The All You Can Eat version gets cheap enough with sales that it is worth getting if you plan to keep playing it... It will probably be cheap enough at times to warrant a purchase just for the exclusive DLC.
All You Can Eat is definitely the version to get as the original has some glaring issues and progress can be very difficult and the fun ends fast. It is too bad that play-testing didn't reveal these issues earlier, so they could be corrected in the original versions.
Also annoying is that there is now the original game, the sequel, a Season Pass, a Gourmet edition, and All You Can Eat.
At this point, I feel like all versions other than All You Can Eat should be unavailable for purchase so new buyers don't get burned.
The visuals do look quite nice... but you can't tell how the racing "feels" without playing it. Even the wizards at Nintendo didn't get it right on some of the Mario Kart iterations.
And what are the chances this runs at solid 60 FPS on Switch?
This makes me think a Pikmin Kart would be incredibly fun as an "adventure racer".
Absolutely loved Bushido Blade 1 & 2 in my college days... got a PS1 emulator just for those games.
The closest thing I have found since then is the Deadliest Warrior games... which are actually quite good and one of the reasons I keep my PS3 plugged in.
Really excited for this game... I hope there is a lot of variety between the fighters and weapons, which is one of the best things about Deadliest Warrior.
I still want to know if TMNT has a "casual mode" or cheat codes? I want to play through the games in co-op, but I don't really feel like struggling through with a few lives... the rewind feature probably doesn't cut it.
I remember seeing an ad for this on a TV at Blockbuster... I didn't think I had any interest in it, but there weren't alot of N64 games at the time... I rented it, played it all weekend, and bought it as soon as I could. Put a ton of hours into it, especially Stunt Mode once I could easily beat the CPUs.
The game has a wonderful ambience and feel... so simple and yet so good... I still break it out every once in a while and pretty much just ride the dolphin around.
This games needs an HD remaster (along with Star Fox 64).
Will the upcoming TMNT Collection have infinite lives cheat codes? If not, I don't see myself playing them much since I don't have the time to put into them like I did as a kid.
Saying that a movie has been "upgraded to 60 FPS" proves that you have no idea how frame rates work.
99.9% of movies are produced and rendered at 24 FPS... prior to BluRay they were traditionally converted to 30 FPS for consumer playback, but today we have the technology to display movies at proper 24 FPS. When done so properly, the playback is smooth as silk with zero judder. Unfortunately, alot of apps still convert to 60 FPS for streaming playback, which is objectively wrong.
Video games are different as the software is basically a blueprint and the GPU renders the frames "on the fly"... so a weak system will provide 30 FPS, a better system 60 FPS, and a super powerful system could provide 120 FPS correctly. This is simply not how it works with pre-rendered video content.
Converting film content to 60 FPS is just making up frames that do not exist and do not need to.
FYI... the movie is available via Amazon Prime... however, last I checked the Amazon Prime ROKU app will provide 24 FPS playback if you have your hardware settings correct, but the audio tends to be out-of-sync with Amazon when using proper 24 FPS playback.
The N64, Gamecube, and 3DS versions of Mario Golf had WAY more Mushroom Kingdom charm... I like the Switch version for its simplified mechanics, but the courses, environments, music, etc are woefully uninspired.

So you are NOT buying it on a console that has Mario Kart.

Re: We Might Get A Brand New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game In 2023
An actually good game in the style of the Batman Arkham games, with the art style of the 2012 animated series would be welcome.
And make it so that there is a strategy/gameplay difference between the different Turtles.

@Leuke Are you confusing Assault with Adventures? It's easy to do...
I feel like very few people played Assault and it seems like it was quite rare.
The 3DS remake of Star Fox 64 is great... one of the reasons I keep my 3DS around.
Re: Feature: 23 Best Wii U eShop Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
@Nontendo_4DS
I was actually unaware that Abyss was ported to Switch, and I never played it co-op on Wii U either.
My guess would be split-screen on the Switch... for $2.99 it's worth a gamble.
If you like Gamepad co-op, make sure you check out Affordable Space Adventures on WiiU if you haven't already.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At The Switch Online Version Of Mario Golf, Plus A Comparison Video
