I opted to buy the Mario Kart expansion pass separately from the NSO because Im not very interested in what else it has to offer, yet. But if Nintendo continues to attach a lot of DLC to its service I will eventually regret not upgrading.
I have lived through them all and my choice is the Gamecube generation. That cute little box of a console was a powerhouse for its day. There were multiplatform games like RE4 and Soul Caliber 4 that actually played and looked the best on a Nintendo system. I don't think that feat has been repeated since. First party games like Wind Waker and Metroid Prime boldly went in a new direction and masterpieces were created. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the GBA player accessory. Gamecube #1 !
I will likely get this down the road sometime. It's not an early buy buy but a wait- for-sale game to me.. I had a blast with HOTD 1 and 2, and I don't think there is anything like it on the Switch.
I personally have not upgraded my NSO service but Nintendo seems to giving the platform more content pretty consistently. Initially the service was blah buy recently I've seen some positive things, especially the Mario Kart and A.C. DLC
I tried to play Earthbound a few times but could never get into it. With my current backlog, it's likely I won't boot this up any time soon. I'm happy the fans of the game have this however.
@Bearzilla823 here in the U.S. at least MK8 can be bought at $50, it's on sale right now at most big retailers. All of the announced DLC is $25. $75 for the complete package. I'm buying it.
I played MK8 to shreds on the WiiU and insisted I would not double dip on the Switch. But this DLC changes my approach. 48 new tracks running through the end of 2023 gives me the incentive I was looking for to jump back in. I'm hoping Nintendo will sprinkle in a handful of new drivers too.
I think the Switch can surpass the DS but it's up to Nintendo. Will they continue to support the system 2 years down the road, or will they be promoting the next console. I think the Switch has the legs to do it. Nintendo could release a few new color variations and sales would spike, let alone a price drop and great new titles (I'm talking to you Retro Studios lol ).
Dying light is my favorite port this year. My only gripe is that the price dropped quickly after releasing at $50, aka the price I paid. Still a lot of fun and content for the cost though.
I love my switch but I feel the prices for the systems is too high. Taking $50 off each of these would be more "fair" (for lack of a better word ). But the Switch in all its forms is selling really well at the prices they are at, and obviously Nintendo is in no hurry to change that.
I wanted to like PN03 but the basic and repetitive environment made the game boring imo. Dodging bullets while dancing to techno is always cool though.
They will likely patch up a lot of issues but as the article states, it should not have been released in this condition. The Switch can handle much more.

Re: Feature: Kid Icarus: Uprising, Nintendo's Most Daring Release Of The Last Decade

Congratulations to the Monster Hunter Rise team. It's a great game that deserves this recognition. Bring on Sunbreak and happy hunting to all.
Re: Soapbox: Dear Konami, Please Do Something Decent With Castlevania
All I want from Castlevania is the DS collection. Bloodstained is the "new" Castlevania we need, and I'm happy with that.
Re: Metroid Dread Is About To Become The Best-Selling Game In The Series
I can't think of a better way to celebrate the occasion than having the Prime series remastered on the Switch.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Has A Collab With Universal Studios Japan, As Sunbreak Teases Continue
The more MHR content the better. I likely won't wear the layered armor but will certainly add it to the collection
Re: Feature: 14 Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Still Love To See
The Dead Space trilogy would be an instant buy from me.
Re: Talking Point: As Lifetime Switch Sales Jostle With The Mighty Wii, Can It Possibly Catch DS?
I think the Switch can surpass the DS but it's up to Nintendo. Will they continue to support the system 2 years down the road, or will they be promoting the next console.

Red Faction for $3 is nice

I'm very happy with my Lite. Sure I'd prefer a bigger and better screen but am relieved that I don't have to be concerned with the joy con issues.
Re: Random: Ever Wondered What Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Looks Like Without Cel-Shading?
Like Wind Waker before it, BOTW's artistic design will age flawlessly. Yay for cel shading as these character models in the article look lifeless.

At first it looks like a basic puzzler but by the end of trailer I had no idea what was happening. Looks awesome
Re: Talking Point: 5 Reasons That Nintendo Switch Is Still A Hot Product

@GannonBanned just ignore that guy. That profile was made yesterday and he's clearly here just to irritate people.
Re: Rockstar Apologises For GTA Trilogy Issues, First Of Multiple Updates Due In 'Coming Days'
Rockstar has a lot of work to do for me to consider buying this. Patched up very well and a good price cut will gain my interest.
