@BANJO I've been playing it since last night and I have to say it really is a great game. The online battle mode is surprisingly addictive. And the seasonal rewards are a nice incentive to keep playing.
@YunoboCo They also skipped The Thousand Year Door. It really makes me wonder what their reasoning is regarding which games will get featured on Tetris 99.
@BANJO I saw a few snippets on their Twitter page and I thought it looks great, and I've had it pre-ordered for a while; but this comes from someone who loved Banana Blitz and even 3D.
I hope everyone who's ever complained about the direction Intelligent Systems has taken with the Paper Mario series has already bought a copy of the Thousand Year Door remake.
If Wind Waker is retro, then what is A Link to the Past? Putting them in the same category just doesn't seem right. At this point the term retro became more of a style rather than anything to do with age.
I'm playing it for the first time, and 23 hours and 36 minutes in, it's becoming one of my favorite games of all time. I loved Paper Mario 64, but this is on another level. I just hope they fix that typo (searching Pedal Meadows) on the Sound Gallery soon.
@Clyde_Radcliffe People keep bringing up the "20 year old game" line, but that's completely irrelevant when the game has been completely remade for Switch, which makes it just another Switch game that runs at 30 frames per second.
Sunday morning is the perfect time to play/replay classic games. But I have too many new games right now, so I'll just play whatever I feel like playing at the moment.
This reminds me of the first ever Box Art Brawl. It was late 2006 and my mom was getting me a game for my birthday. We went to the game store and I narrowed it down to two options. I held both M&L Partners in Time, and Animal Crossing Wild World in my hands, and I thought I'd decide based on which cover I liked better. Needless to say I became an Animal Crossing fan on that day.
It seems like some folks already made up their minds about a game that was announced less than 24 hours ago and we know next to nothing about. I think blind haters are actually worse than blind fanboys.

Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble (Switch) - Super Single-Player, But Multiplayer's A Mess
@GrailUK So far it's been getting mostly 8s and a 9 from Game Rant. I've already got it pre-loaded because I just know it's gonna be good.
Re: Sega Won't Be Airing A 'Sonic Central' Broadcast This Month
It's also Super Monkey Ball's anniversary today!
Re: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Spins Past 20 Million Sales Worldwide
They did a great job with these remakes. I just got it along with Spyro for only $26. Such a great deal.
Re: Reaction: A Direct That Delivered, And Shows That Switch Still Has Plenty Of Pep
I'm a little upset that we got a new Zelda instead of the port I was hoping for. Yes, I am part of the problem.
But it really was a great show. Mario and Luigi: Brothership was the highlight of the Direct for me.
Re: FromSoftware Boss Wouldn't Allow Studio Layoffs To Happen, Cites Satoru Iwata

Re: Mailbox: Switch's Pokémon Woes, NSO's Value, First-Person Plurals - Nintendo Life Letters
@OctolingKing13 Have you read their answers to dumb letters from a few years back? That was top tier comedy.

Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Upcoming June Nintendo Direct
A proper release of Super Mario Sunshine or Galaxy/Galaxy 2 on Switch and Donkey Kong 64 on NSO; that's all I need.
Re: Ubisoft Is Releasing A New Monopoly Game On Switch This September
Maybe it's just me, but I've never found myself playing a board game and thinking "man, this would be a lot more fun if it were on a screen".
Re: Sonic And Co. Roll Into 'Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble' With The 'SEGA Pass' DLC
I hate how they make you feel like you're buying an incomplete edition if you don't pay an extra $20.
Re: 'Tales Of Kenzara: Zau' Director Addresses "Constant Targeted Harassment"
And suddenly we're all talking about a game I didn't even know existed before this morning. Interesting how it all works.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?
If Wind Waker is retro, then what is A Link to the Past? Putting them in the same category just doesn't seem right. At this point the term retro became more of a style rather than anything to do with age.
Re: Random: Nintendo Of America Appears To Have Updated Its Sign
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the red Nintendo screen at the beginning of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door.
Re: Best Paper Mario Games Of All Time
@Bydlak Some people will assure you the Switch version is inferior because it runs at 30FPS, and they'll do so with a straight face too.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door?
I'm playing it for the first time, and 23 hours and 36 minutes in, it's becoming one of my favorite games of all time. I loved Paper Mario 64, but this is on another level. I just hope they fix that typo (searching Pedal Meadows) on the Sound Gallery soon.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Super Monkey Ball Adventure
All I'm going to say is I'm glad they've redesigned AiAi so he doesn't look like... that anymore.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Shows Off Art And Sound Galleries On Switch
This and Metroid Prime Remastered are perfect examples of what a game rerelease should be.
Re: Best Pikmin Games
@Joeynator3000 Same here; I got to the last area after the credits, but I just keep putting it off for whatever reason.
Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Will Reportedly Feature Magnetic Joy-Cons
@nukatha Talk to a scientist.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Looks Glorious In New Footage
@Clyde_Radcliffe People keep bringing up the "20 year old game" line, but that's completely irrelevant when the game has been completely remade for Switch, which makes it just another Switch game that runs at 30 frames per second.

Do these folks even know what "iconic" means?

Tough times for Mario & Luigi fans. Now we get excited when Nintendo acknowledges the existence of the series.
Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?
I skipped Breath of the Wild, so Tears of the Kingdom is 100% new to me, and it has become one of my favorite games of all time.
Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?
@batmanbud2 I'm finally getting it this weekend!
Re: Review: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection (Switch) - Riddled With Issues, This Is
@DoorToMundane That's not a pun; it's called "back formation", and I thought it was funny.

I need to know what game he was playing before I can make any judgement.

It has to be Super Mario Galaxy.
Re: Video: Don't Be Fooled Into Buying Fake SD Cards For Your Switch
@Tyranexx I think that's the regular price. The 256GB one goes for $32.
Re: Video: Don't Be Fooled Into Buying Fake SD Cards For Your Switch
@Tyranexx I got a 128GB Mushroom one for $18.88 at Walmart.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time
This reminds me of the first ever Box Art Brawl. It was late 2006 and my mom was getting me a game for my birthday. We went to the game store and I narrowed it down to two options. I held both M&L Partners in Time, and Animal Crossing Wild World in my hands, and I thought I'd decide based on which cover I liked better.

Re: Tears Of The Kingdom, Mario Wonder & Dave The Diver Compete For Top Prize At BAFTAs
Tears of the Kingdom is the game I used to dream of as a kid. Definitely the best game of 2023, and top 5 of all time.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Apparently Set "Entirely" Within Lumiose City

I'll be happy if it's at least as fun as Banana Blitz.
Re: It Looks Like Gold And Silver Will Feature In The Next 'Pokémon Presents'
@Edwirichuu Whose problem anyway? Not mine.
Re: It Looks Like Gold And Silver Will Feature In The Next 'Pokémon Presents'
I'm not joking when I say I'd pay $60 for a HeartGold/Soul Silver port on Switch.
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Isn't Coming Until 2025, What's Nintendo Got Up Its Sleeve This Year?
Black and White remakes would be enough to give Switch another stellar year.
Re: Best Donkey Kong Games Of All Time
So the best game on this list only gets an 8.9 from users? I prefer lists made by people who know what they're talking about.
