I love this game. Hunting the same monster 20 times became mundane in older Monster Hunter games. But the new mechanics give the ability to make every hunt a blast in Rise
The customization, nice variety of monsters, more unique looking weapons and armor, the Japanese inspired art direction, free updates and dlc, portability......this is a day 1 buy if there ever was.
WW is my favorite Zelda, probably top 5 of all the games I've played. Metroid Other M wasn't too horrible. It had plenty going for it but some poor direction decisions held it back. I like that Nintendo takes chances with their IP's. Metroid Prime is an amazing example of taking a big risk that paid off ( for gamers anyway, I know the series isn't a big seller).
@AmplifyMJ I waiting for DOOM Eternal at $20, no matter how long that takes.
I still don't own the Switch "essentials" like Odyssey and BOTW ( have it on WiiU ). Nintendo is notoriously stubborn with pricing on their IP's. It's likely I'll find a used copy locally for sale at a reasonable price.
I didn't enjoy using it in the demo but that could be because I never got comfortable with it. Hopefully it will resonate better in the full game ( which is likely the case).
New SMB DS isn't as iconic as World or SMB3, but I personally put it up there with those classics. The mini and mega Mario powerups were a refreshing inclusion, as well as the mini games. 10/10
I'll buy it digitally a little bit down the road. Owning a physical copy is pretty sweet, great purchase to those who got one. I didn't love this game when I had it on the 360, but having it portable sounds very enjoyable.
And the beast Monster Hunter is waiting to be released. 2021 will be equally impressive for Nintendo. I bought my Switch last year and hardly turn on my tv since.

Re: Lost WiiWare Title Space Invaders Get Even Could Come To Switch If There's Enough Demand

Re: Nintendo's Paper Mario Series Is Now 20 Years Old
A compilation of the N64, Cube and Wii titles would be amazing. Those are the 3 best ones IMO and people new to the series can play these fun titles.

Just to nitpick a tad, I feel the the criticisms of being repetitive and lacking depth can be construed as the same thing.

@nimnio I don't think the prices are displayed in the mobile view of this site. I only see them when I switch to desktop mode.

Re: Frame Rate And Resolution For Monster Hunter Rise Demo Revealed
