The super duper awesome Donkey Kong Bananza. I love moving around, scanning the environment and collecting stuff. It is great to explore. So far I 100% finished the first three layers. I am halfway through the Canyon now.
You could ask me as much as you want Nintendo. I will not support the all-digital dystopia. If you go that route, I will know that I am 100% not welcome anymore and I will be a retro gamer then.
Edit: Yes, ignoring physical makes this survey worthless to me too, because I do not buy key-cards and digital download versions.
@OctolingKing13 I just followed a guide and tried them a few times, but thanks. Just a few minutes ago, I found the last ?-Panel. Now it is time for the coins.
@Ellie-Moo Sounds like a great time. Yeah, I thought it was quite playable. Firestarter is a great track, no wonder that you can still remember this moment.
I really have to play the rest someday. Got 2097 but I think something is wrong with the disc.
@DaGoldenBoo Yes, it is definitely worth considering.
@Mana_Knight Secret of Mana so much yes! The music alone is sending me to heaven. Child of Light's art direction was so beautiful. I agree with everything you say, great comment.
@DaGoldenBoo Yeah, I am glad that they do not market it as art. Gameplay is often more important to me than an artistic vision. Still watching a painting or playing a game like Final Fantasy X can do the same for me.
@karatekid1612 I played the original PS1 WipeOut a while ago. Cool game and quite challenging, I can only imagine, how cool it was when it released. The soundtrack is interesting, too.
Is the thumbnail implying that Hachiya-San could take Slippy's role? I mean Slippy Toad likes to build stuff too. If so, that is indeed quite the genius thumbnail.
Never played for much longer than an hour per day so far, but I will try to play the whole evening today, because I want to at least finish the P-Switch challenges in Mario Kart World before Bananza's release. It is warm here, but I hope that everything will be fine. Good luck to everyone.
Happy anniversary! One of the best jrpgs and looking at the sales probably quite underrated. I can not say it enough, how I miss the old soul of Final Fantasy.
Okay Nintendo, if you want third party support go for it, but I will not support you or a third party company if you try to sell me a game key card. I only buy full physical releases.
@FishyS
Hope you get better soon! Platformers might be my favourite genre, and judging by the direct, Bananza might be the best one yet, so I am really hyped now.
It was perfect and I felt really hyped during the direct. Teaming up with Pauline was a cool surprise. Seriously, I could sometimes not believe how cool and fun the stuff looked on the screen.
Oh Nintendo, you always make me feel like a little boy again, thank you!

It is only natural to play it this way, since it is so much fun, that I want to experience everything the game has to offer.
I hope you enjoy your vacation!

Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto Did Exactly What We Did When Playtesting Donkey Kong Bananza
Let the innovation flow Nintendo. Love the gameplay and the destruction is fun.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Disney's Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey And Donald (GBA)
Japan's cover looks just right and gives me these warm 90's Disney vibes.

You saved a turtle? Awesome! I have never seen one in the wild.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th July)
I finished every P-Switch challenge in Mario Kart World, so I will continue with the panels. So far I have 60. Simple, relaxing stuff.
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Ys X: Proud Nordics Reportedly Includes 120fps Performance Mode On Switch 2
@jojobar
Thanks, I did not realise that the game would not be on the card.
Re: Ys X: Proud Nordics Reportedly Includes 120fps Performance Mode On Switch 2
Cool. I hope this version comes to the west, because I still want to play it.
Edit: Nope, not interested in Game-Key cards.

This is especially important to me in games like Final Fantasy.
Re: Sakurai Gives An Update On 'Kirby Air Riders' And Pays Tribute To Iwata
Looking forward to it Sakurai-San! I hope you found someone at Nintendo, who understands you like Iwata-San did. Wish you good health!
Re: Pokémon Anime Voice Actor James Carter Cathcart Passes Away
Rest in peace Mr. Cathcart. I hope wherever you are now, will be a place with new Pokemon species, for you to research.
Re: Anniversary: 10 Years After His Passing, Satoru Iwata's Thoughts Are More Relevant Than Ever
Sympathetic guy. Rest in peace Iwata-San, I believe that Nintendo will be fine. And thank you for your contribution.

Thanks, I know about the story mode, but I do not know anyone who would play the local wireless mode with me.

Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev
I agree with those who say it can be both. Final Fantasy IX is a game and a theater performance, for example.
Re: Exclusive: Upcoming Fast Fusion Update For Switch 2 Introduces Photo Mode
@HugoGED
True, I did not even think about it, thanks.
Yeah, please take your time Shin'en. Best to release the physical, when nothing gets added anymore down the line.
Re: Exclusive: Upcoming Fast Fusion Update For Switch 2 Introduces Photo Mode
Waiting for a physical edition.

@DTfearTheBEARD
Cool stuff you bought there for a nice price. I loved playing Visions of Mana.
Re: "It Will Have A Chilling Effect On Game Design" - EU Group Responds To 'Stop Killing Games'
I do not subscripe to NSO anymore, but I would gladly buy a Splatoon game, if I can play offline against NPC's.
Re: Fantasy Life i Switch 2 Physical Release And Photo Mode Update Announced
Awesome! Everything is forgiven. I will definitely get this, thanks Level-5!
Re: Final Fantasy 9's 25th Anniversary Is Here, But There's Nothing On Rumoured Remake
I hope Square Enix returns to this kind of game, when they make a new Final Fantasy. So much class, like watching an epic theater performance.
Thanks for the memories!
Re: Mega Man Is One Of Capcom's "Most Important IPs" Despite No New Games In 7+ Years
My most wanted MegaMan game would be something like MegaMan Legends, but I know that making a game like that nowadays would be challenging.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th July)
Playing more Mario Kart World in the evening. Almost 200 P-Switch challenges done.
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Poll: How Many Hours Have You Spent In Mario Kart World So Far?
More than 25 hours. Nice Mario Kart with relaxing collectathon activities in free roam.
Re: Pokémon Summer Stories Is A Series Of Adorable New Shorts On YouTube

Re: Final Fantasy 9 Gets Some Gorgeous New Artwork, And It Has Fans In A Frenzy
Happy anniversary! One of the best jrpgs and looking at the sales probably quite underrated. I can not say it enough, how I miss the old soul of Final Fantasy.
Re: Furukawa's Defence Of Game-Key Cards Ain't All That Convincing
Okay Nintendo, if you want third party support go for it, but I will not support you or a third party company if you try to sell me a game key card. I only buy full physical releases.
Re: Round Up: The Final Previews Are In For Donkey Kong Bananza
If this will be DK's greatest outing to date, then I will be more than happy. I am just glad that Nintendo gives Donkey Kong the time to shine again.
Edit: Day 1 of course.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Developer Has Been Revealed
Yes, this is good to know for sure. Excited to play the new awesomeness from this team.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th June)
I will be doing the P-Switch challenges in Mario Kart World. They are surprisingly fun. I think I finished 33 so far.
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Beat 'Em Up Classic Double Dragon Gets A Modern Revival On Switch This October

Hope you get better soon! Platformers might be my favourite genre, and judging by the direct, Bananza might be the best one yet, so I am really hyped now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st June)
I will enjoy my time with Mario Kart World. Doing the Knockout Tour now. World should easily keep me entertained until Bananza.
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Donkey Kong Bananza For Switch 2?
It was day one before the direct. Now it is still day one, but I am awaiting the day with shiny eyes.
Edit: The poll is so positive, awesome. I think it really shows how amazing the direct was.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
It was perfect and I felt really hyped during the direct. Teaming up with Pauline was a cool surprise. Seriously, I could sometimes not believe how cool and fun the stuff looked on the screen.

Re: Nintendo Supposedly Investigating Possible "Swollen Battery" Issue With Switch 2
Thankfully no problems so far with my lovely Switch 2. I hope our Switches survive this generation without problems.
Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?
I have not even tried it yet. Still doing Grand Prix.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct Revealed For Wednesday, 18th June 2025
Oh how nice of you Nintendo, to convince me even more.
Re: Poll: Do You Three-Star-Gold Every Mario World Grand Prix Before Moving On To The Next?
Yes, because I enjoy it. A little challenge here and there is fine.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th June)
@BringleWorkshop
Nice. Thank you for telling me. This sounds really wholesome.
