This morning I fired up MKW for the first time in about a year, played a few of the Super Mario Kart tracks, then turned it off. The game is lacking something — and I think that something might be fun.

Anyways, this weekend I'll be jumping into Star Fox Adventures. Also, I was going to wait for the XC2 - Switch 2 Edition physical, but I really hate the butchered artwork, due to all the extra text. So I might just end up getting the digital upgrade instead. If I've got the space, that is.

Have a good one, folks.

Nice of MercurySteam to show there's no hard feeling about Team Ninja winning the development contract. 😉

I was tempted by this, just because I've collected previous special/collector's editions of Metroid, but thankfully I'm out of the amiibo game. My FOMO is now JOMO.

This game is now firmly on my radar.

Best announcement by far! It'll surely make up for MP4.

Billy Hatcher 2 better be a thing!

No mention of the Pro Controller's display stand?

I'm so glad they keep the loading screens to preserve the vibe from the original game...

Billy Hatcher 2 would genuinely make the Direct for me.

That discount on The Drifter... Oof!

Nintendo is well aware that MKW didn't live up to people's expectations. At this point it should just add the best MKW tracks to MK8D. 😅

"The new project is also being developed with close attention to fan feedback"

Which would be 'Suda51 better be involved'.

Very happy about this update. Kudos to Nintendo for not quitting making MK8D better. Sadly, it seems the same can't be said for MKW. To be fair, it would likely need a major overhaul to get me to fire it up again.

I dunno... a zombie with a brown paper bag on its head, running towards me, (even in a nicely lit ballroom) would likely still make me jump.

Two consecutive Mega Man articles... on a Sunday? 😮

@Luigia You know what? I might just do that! I've been meaning to pick that collection up. I've completed the games many times over the years, but I can't say no to a bit of mindless fun. 🙂

The lack of value in gaming these days is just sapping the joy of out of the experience.

Cool, cool... I've just opted to keep my wallet closed then.

As a huge Mega Man fan, I'm disappointed they kept the MM11 aesthetic. I'm sure I'll have fun with it, but it's just so off-putting.

"For the glory of balls!"

I won't be replaying it anytime soon, but I'll definitely pick up the physical release. I really loved my time with 1000xRESIST.

What's this? Mortal Kombat 1 and no Mortal Kombat 11? 😮

Aww... No Kate again this week. Boo!

I'll be continuing with Splatoon Raiders, some Splatoon 3, and obviously more F-Zero 99. Have fun, folks!

"Still"? It's a bit presumptuous that you'd think I'd buy this in the first place. 😉

@Warioware Yes! I'd love a Flower, Sun, and Rain remake too, if that's not asking too much. 😅

The best racing game on Switch 1 and 2. I still play it every day without fail.

Not feeling the design of this one bit, fortunately. Going to bask in the JOMO for a while.

Can't see myself wearing anything that promotes MKW...

Splatoon Raiders. Finally, a must have first-party game for Switch 2. I spent hours helping out on raids last night, as it's so chaotic and fun. I can see myself playing this for a good while.

Not selected. Oh well... I'm not even quite sure what this game's about. 😅

Miyamoto out here lowkey trying to push Pikmin plushies, keyrings, drink holders, amiibo, etc. on unsuspecting six-year olds.

I loved Torna, but XB2 was my favourite of the three and so more content was always going to be a winner for me. I read earlier that there are a bunch of audio issues with the new update though. Hopefully, they'll be patched by the time the physical is released.

This is my fourth time buying Xenoblade Chronicles physically. I doubt it'll be the last. Damn you, Nintendo.

I buy anything with Ron Gilbert's name on it, so sign me up.

Well, at least we know Splatoon Raiders sold more than a 1000 physical copies in the UK.

Seems unnecessarily cumbersome.

I was excited opening this article, but the look (and sound) of this one confirms I'll be sticking with F-Zero 99.

"New" Star Fox game.

For me, it's worth the annual cost just for F-Zero 99. The game that keeps on giving.

Mouse mode is such a shoehorned in gimmick from Nintendo. Even the dedicated Drag x Drive couldn't sell it.

Want it to be a more comfortable experience? Sure, just add more random bits of plastic that need to be attached to the joy-cons...

Don't worry Kate, my Switch 2 is also being neglected, but in favour of my Switch Lite. Hopefully, Splatoon Raiders will change that. Hopefully...

Donkey Kong Bananza fell off fast.

Aww... This is a nice anniversary gift from Ninty. Really enjoyed this soundtrack (moreso than the game itself).

This game is by far my most played on Switch. I couldn't get to grips with it at first, but the unlockables kept drawing me back. I've now got 99+ wins under my belt and still can't put F-Zero 99 down.

I love the OST too, so this is a very welcome addition.

Tactics every time.

Probably my favourite game of the last five years or so. Sadly, I doubt I could run through it again anytime soon (the story is still fresh in my mind), but a Switch 2 release would give the title a bit more visibility, which is great.

Saying that, if it gets a physical release I'll be all over it.

Kudos on the tagline for this one. I hope Brenda's doing ok.

Pragmata gets my vote. It's not really been a year for first-party titles (at least so far), for me.

I get the feeling Nintendo are still going to be charging a premium price for the Ocarina of Time remake though. Because, y'know... Zelda.

Looks right up my street. Reminds me a lot of the Space Quest games, which I was raised on.
