Yep. It’s nothing new, and Hasbro/other board game manufacturers have been copy and pasting from 3D world since 2013.

I really wish NSMBU wasn’t the template that toy companies choose for “exciting Mario locations”. That game has as much originality as the average YouTube top 10 channel circa 2016 (i.e, none). Why not use Odyssey, or a mix of games from Mario’s lineup?

Next headline:
“Reggie wanted to make a new F-Zero game starring Mother 3 characters where you shoot copies of the Wii U and give the game out for free at Nintendo HQ, but he was denied.”

Now I really want to see Steve Austin play BOTW 2.
“Ganon, you come up here with your mealy mouth (WHAT), and those little beady eyes (WHAT), but I’m about to drop you on that stack of dimes you call a neck.”
“And that’s the bottom line, ‘cause Stone Cold said so!”

I like the idea of putting it on the Expansion Pack. A full game that has an easy to understand concept and builds on another top hit would be really nice, and I am not buying the game otherwise unless it’s $30 or less. I just don’t know if there’s enough meat on this particular bone for a sequel, though. The original was built with every capability the Switch had in mind, and with the exception of more HD rumble games, any new idea would seem like a rehash. I also think that NS Sports and Mario Strikers, as well as the Mario Kart DLC, will satiate the casual audience.

That would be.. wait for it…
AWESOME!

Literally an exercise in stupidity at this point.

I’m really hoping Origins sells well so Sega can justify putting out another delay on this game. No gameplay as of yet has not been filling me with excitement. I’ve been burned too many times to be excited anyway.

I’m nopeing harder on this game by the day.

@UsurperKing
Oh, cool! Thanks!
I retract my previous statement.

Well, I’m now glad he is not the president of Nintendo of America, because that is not something I would like to see in Animal Crossing or any other Nintendo property.

@CharlieGirl
You beat me to it lol.

I’ve been on the fence for a while for this game, but I ultimately think I’m just going to wait for a price drop, if one ever comes. It’s just not worth the value to me in the end.

You know what else is naughty about this game?
“Nega Maid.”
Why in the world do companies insist on doing this name? Is there an etymological meaning behind it or something?

Happy 30th birthday…

to King Dedede! Here’s hoping you finally get your chance to KLOBBA dat dere Kirbeh!

This is another situation where the product is now worth what people will pay for it. This game will sell gangbusters because of course it does, and all of us people with legitimate complaints will be ignored. I’ll probably buy this game too, because good casual experiences are rare in the landscape. However, this really pales in comparison to other entries in the series, and I’m sad that this is my intro to it.

Punch Out Wii is one of my favorite games of all time. I will never stop wanting a sequel to that. However, I know that whatever Next Level produces will be quality.

I just might spring on Monster Hunter Rise with that price. Heard it was good, I’ll test it out myself.

Splatoon: Squid Allies.

Seriously, more variety in the weapon selection is never a bad thing, and might be the defining feature of this game.

This will be the second video game movie in a row coming out on the month of my birthday, so I’m happy. This movie could be legitimately great, or laughably horrible, and either way, I’m here for it.

The EU version is much better for giving us an actual overview of the game, and some of the enemies and world themes that will be in it. The Japan cover looks like Kirby just blew up a craft factory. Also, I have a soft spot for the original NA/EU Kirby- he’s just so puffy!

I don’t really have any official Sonic anniversary titles, so I’ll get this just to play it and finally beat 3 and Knuckles. Still wish it was Mania 2, but what can you do…

I welcome our dock-planting overlords. It’s really hard to remember to take all the cords of a Switch and find places to put them, so this is something that should be applied to all hotels.

This is just a reminder that as much as we can put Nintendo on a pedestal as these magical fun-makers, they are a corporation just like any other, and they have to be held accountable for their actions. This stuff isn’t okay, and it will never be okay, and some actions are bad no matter who does them. The abuse of part time employees is one of the lowest things to do in any industry, but especially one when it is not at all required.

In a similar vein, “this is how it works in X place”, or “this happens in the real world” is not an excuse. If I punched you in the face, it would be bad regardless of whether other people get punched in the face in the real world or not. You got punched in the face!

I feel like single player needs to be meaty for this game to sell on a similar level to 2. I’m going to get it, as I never properly got into 2, but there’s got to be some more bones in the single-player content.

Finally! I keep putting off buying this DLC, and now I have the chance to. Add the Fighter’s Pass to the list, and Nintendo has a fair service.

Clipping can really break immersion when prevalent enough in a game, so it’s great to see that Nintendo is taking steps to solve it. More of the trademark “Nintendo polish” is always a win in my book.

Haven’t really played much of the series (something I hope to rectify by playing the Definitive Edition of 1) but that’s great for fans!

I didn’t think I was going to be into the Mystery Dungeon games, but they really grew on me. Super is probably in my top 20 games, and the ending to Gates of Infinity had be in tears. Brilliant series that manages to be independent of the IP it’s based on.

@Markiemania95
You monster.

I don’t even feel like taking any shots at yet another “stability” update. There’s beating a dead horse, and then there’s beating the glue from made from said horse and stirring it into a grinder.

Really odd they omitted the Sonic Advance series. Those are some of the purest distillations of a Sonic game, so it’ll be a loss as a service.

Please be real…
Please be real…

From the little I’ve played, I’m actually pretty impressed with this title. Having more fun than in Super Rush simply due to the strategy involved. My little brother, on the other hand, wanted to play Super Rush the entire time we played this game, because he likes the gimmicks.
Different “strokes” for different folks I guess.

Torn between Switch and GameCube/GBA. GBA might be the greatest RPG and Metroidvania machine of all time, so many great games released on the system. The GameCube was great as well, although I haven’t played as many games as I would like. However, the Switch, quite simply, has all the games. Both are really good, but the Switch is just slightly better.

@OrtadragoonX
Yeah, probably so. I haven’t played it all the way through (waiting for the collection to come out) but from what I’ve played, it definitely seems the most balanced of the Sonic games.

It really depends on the series. Mario, for example, you can start wherever, all of his games are different experiences with the same basic set of rules. Sonic, on the other hand, has a set point you should start at. I wouldn’t recommend someone to play 1 first, outside of Green Hill Zone it has aged rather poorly. However, likewise, I wouldn’t recommend someone start with games from the Dark Age of Sonic games or Forces, because they are just not good from a metric perspective, nor are they representative of the series. At the need of the day, it’s up to the player to make the decision for themselves, as good games are worth playing and seeking out. Other people’s opinions are a good metric, but they aren’t the be-all-end-all

Is there a toaster in the room?
If so, I know what it toasts…

I’m pretty hyped to see this movie. I’m going to go see it in a bigger movie theater than I usually do on vacation for my birthday, so I’m a fair bit excited.

As a casual Nintendo fan for most of my life until the Switch, the Phoenix Wright, Crash, and Spyro trilogies all get my seal of approval. I’m really glad that I got to experience the more niche or non-Nintendo consoles via the Switch. Sonic and NSMBU Deluxe are quite nice as well, but both somewhat play itself. I still need to try Zelda and Pokémon, those are the two Switch first-party games that have kind of slipped through the cracks for me.

@Ade117
Objectively, NSMBU is the best one if we’re not counting Luigi U. The level design can be really good if uninspired, and the secrets and world map are the best in the series. I think the primary problem is when it came out. I was dead tired of these games when U came out, and I grew up on them! It’s just the same thing that it always has been, and there’s nothing really new added. The original brought 2D Mario back from the grave and introduced ideas from the 3D games, Wii brought back 4-player co-op and decently fun level themes and concepts that we hadn’t seen in a Mario game, and as much as I dislike 2, the coin gimmick was at least something new. U is just a rehash of Wii and 2, with nothing new except for maybe three new level themes that last for 2 levels each. If you were to play the games in reverse order, anyone would prefer U, but it came out at just the worse time for Mario fans.

I guess the console was ‘bread’ for success!
The plans to make it didn’t go “awrye”!
It might not be the greatest, but it certainly isn’t the ‘yeast’!
Hopefully you can bag(ette) this wonderful console if you have enough dough!
Alright, that’s it, my puns are toast.

As long as it’s not live action I could die happy watching the movie

This is somewhat unrelated to the discussion, but am I the only one that doesn’t really care for this track? Everybody acts like it’s a top 10 track, and I just don’t see it. There’s nearly 90-degree turns, which is a big no-no, and while the alternate routes are cool, they are all really janky to access. It works a lot better in Tour, where the turns are designed for that engine, but I much prefer the other two Tour tracks that were remastered.

The score hasn’t completely turned me off from getting this game, oddly enough. It very much intrigues me, and I might get it somewhere down the line.

Interesting argument that they needed to “add verticality” to Sky Garden. They could have done that, and, I don’t know, kept the really cool shortcuts that force you to time your hops, which made the track one of my favorites in DS?

As much as I hate the guy for many reasons, can we talk about how good he was as a bad guy for Wrestlemania? He is the epitome of a despicable human being, and that works great in this scenario.

I’m so psyched to play this now. I’m going to bypass graphical issues by way of PS4, but it’s great that portable is an option. It’s been a while since I’ve played a Lego game, and between this and Kirby, I’m going to get in some good couch co-op play with my brother.

I’m with everyone else. Don’t really care about E3, but companies better show up around this time period.

@DanElectrode
And even then, it’ll be delayed for two more years
