@StarCollector Sigh... The joke is that this is the least memorable game that Nintendo released this year, so as a joke, I remember that it exists, but no other games that Nintendo released this year, when in actuality, I completely forgot that this game exists because of all the other cool games that Nintendo released, especially Kirby Air Riders.
Nope. You can give my favorite Pokémon a new Mega Evolution, I am still not buying a $70 game with day one DLC that looks like something developed for the frigging PS2.
Personally, I'm not too bothered by these guys, because there was always a bit of silliness to be found in the log entries, as early as Metroid Prime 1's Space Pirate logs. You read about them crapping themselves finding out Samus followed them to Tallon IV, and more infamously, they try replicating her arsenal, including the morph ball, but they axed that project when too many men died from being crushed into a ball. In Metroid Prime 2, the federation logs provided insight into the GF Troopers' last moments before being killed off by the Ing. PFC I. Cranny's entry stood out to me, since he casually name dropped Santa Claus and Bigfoot, implying that they are at least speculated to exist in the Metroid universe. Metroid Prime 3 did bother me the most for the longest time, because it felt like there were too many NPCs talking to Samus, which does kind of ruin the immersion for me, but eventually I learned to love that game as much as the first two. I did eventually come to enjoy the different bounty hunters, especially Gandrayda, If only because her boss fight literally knocked me down to my last HP before I fired off the killing shot, and this was on my first try, so that moment stood out to me. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll come to enjoy these characters as well. I already kind of like Myles Mackenzie for how goofy he is. He's just a socially awkward nerd; Nintendo might as well have based this character on me.
I honestly think that the map is more varied than the original from Kirby Air Ride, and as such, will still be just as entertaining 20 years from now, just like how the original City Trial map is still as much fun as it was 20 years ago. I think the more pressing issue is the lack of field event options. You can turn them off and that's about it. I feel like you should have some more freedom to choose which ones appear and which ones don't, especially if you're like me trying to find that effing bird that I hate because she's the only thing keeping you from discovering all of the field events, AND you need to hit her on the head to finish off the checklist!
Also, short race should include the final course, Galactic Nova.
Honestly, this isn't as bad as when a game gets remastered and its hard mode is locked behind beating the game, such as Metroid Prime Remastered. I must have beaten that game over 10 times in my entire life, so I don't understand why I have to start on normal difficulty just so that I can actually play the mode that I'm more accustomed to.
Anyway, I just don't think difficulty options should be unlockable in the first place. If I want the game to challenge me on my first playthrough, that should be my choice, not Nintendo's.
I'm glad the amiibo won't do anything significant this time around, especially at the price they're selling them for. I can just use an allmiibo to access the bike colors/radio. Nintendo should sell these amiibo, as well as any group of amiibo that accompany a game's release as a pack of cards at a much more affordable price. Cards are also more compact for people who don't want to display them.
These lists are stupid. Be for effing real. Forgotten Land is better on Switch than it is on Switch 2? Return to Dreamland on Wii being ranked higher than the Switch version? Kirby's Adventure for NES is in the Top 10, and above the 3DS version, no less?! I don't think so. Just redo these "Best of [insert series]" lists and just list a game and any of its rereleases as the same game, because aside from Nightmare in Dreamland and maybe Super Star Ultra, they don't make enough drastic changes to the main game itself that can be seen as divisive
Whatever man. I've completely lost hope this game will ever come out, let alone be good. Ubisoft tried asking fans to make assets for them for free, and that didn't pan out. Now there's a tool that can do that for them, so it'll probably just be a gigantic pile of GenAI slop. Screw BG&E2. Screw Ubisoft. Screw AAA gaming.
I would give this a solid 9/10, however playing this game in split screen with my brothers is the reason why I bought this game in the first place, but you have to play either single player or online for certain City Trial field events to appear, including Short Race, Dust-Up Derby, Vs. Gigantes, and possibly even Dynablade. The jury is still out on that last one, because she still hasn't shown up when I tried a handful of rounds on my own, unlike all the other events, but if she could appear in split screen multiplayer in Kirby Air Ride on the GameCube, I see no reason why that would be a problem on Switch 2. So this game gets an 8/10 from me.
Really wish Nintendo would release these demos on the eShop. I know there's more incentive to introduce a game to people who don't already have a system so that they can consider buying one, maybe during that same shopping trip even, but us Metroid fans have been waiting 8 years for this. They can throw us a little bone...
These are skins. To my knowledge, they do not alter the gameplay in any meaningful way, and each one is sold for $5. If you were to get all of the DLC for the game, it would cost $60, but you get a $5 discount with the Sega character pack, so $55. That's still more expensive than the game currently is on the eShop, even if it weren't on sale right now. The only way I'd be interested in buying these limited time skins is if they were no more than $2 each. Really, $1 would make the most sense, maybe $2 for all the licensed characters.
So yeah, not getting these, because they're way too pointless for the price that Sega is asking for.
I wasn't going to get one, but during my playthrough of road trip, which I started as Meta Knight, I kept using the Shadow Star, which kind of made me want to get the amiibo of those two.
It's a good thing then that only Kirby and Waddle Dee are out, and by the time Meta Knight is released, I'll have changed my mind probably.
@Gatorclops Not at all. Say if you buy the more expensive ticket, you get a wristband that lets the park employees know that you're allowed to have access to that area, but if you buy the cheaper option, you only access the rest of the park. A system like that could be implemented, and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be.
@Gatorclops 3d movies are more expensive than watching in 2D, and the 2DS is considered a budget option in the 3DS family of systems for people who don't care about/can't use the 3D effect. You've just made it more clear that accessible and more affordable options can and should be made available.
@Gen4Fan Probably not for the majority of people, but if you are one of those people with limited mobility, you're still paying full price to go to the park despite not being able to access a significant portion of it. Just seems like BS to me, and It's not like they're going to change anything to make accommodations for people with disabilities, because they don't actually care. Nintendo will make a game about disabled people playing basketball, but when it comes to actually giving a damn about people with disabilities, they're nowhere to be found.
@KevinP At least for now, I've been enjoying the added performance boost for games that really needed it like Another Code: Recollection, but then you have games that aren't even out yet that were announced for modern consoles from Sony and Microsoft... and the Switch 1, like the most recently announced Tales of Berseria Remastered. The trailer showed 60 FPS gameplay, but I'm positive the switch version is going to be locked to 30, regardless of which Switch you're using...
@Wakkawipeout If accelerating was done with analog triggers, then at least you'd get the feeling of pressing on the gas and brake pedals, but holding a button to move forward is kind of pointless in a game where you are moving forward at all times. Might as well just make a game where you have to hold a button to keep your character awake...
Neither Donkey Kong Bananza nor Mario Kart World deserve to be nominated for Game of the Year in my opinion. Whether it's removing post game content and locking it behind a paywall, or increasing the appearance rate of the intermission tracks that nearly everyone dislikes before undoing that change because of all the backlash that it justifiably received, Nintendo made too many stupid decisions surrounding the 2 largest debut games for the Switch 2. I am rooting for them to win absolutely zero awards at this ceremony. I am excited for next year, when Metroid Prime 4 and Kirby Air Riders can be part of the Game Awards discussion, but this year has been rough for Nintendo, IMO.
@SirLink Seriously, they should just condense the remasters into one slot with the original release. Am I really supposed to believe that the original GameCube version of Wind Waker is better than the one that gives us an easier Triforce Quest, a Swift Sail, first person strafing, and the ability to submit 12 photos at once in the Nintendo Gallery instead of just one per day? I think not.
That's disappointing, but at least blood drive is 60% off. Not sure if that also applies to the first corpse party, since I already own it, but at least now I own half of these games anyway.
Oddly enough, after the update, my official switch 2 dock wasn't outputting to the TV. Thankfully resetting my TV fixed the problem, but the fact that it was working before the update and then suddenly wasn't working had me scared for a moment, since before updating, I had heard that third party docks were having problems.
@gcunit "Guys, while you're on the Nintendo Today app, could you please watch my video? I worked very hard on it, and it would mean a lot to me if you watched it... 👉🏼👈🏼"
I'm really happy for Brie Larson! It wasn't too long ago when she voiced her desire to play the role of Samus Aran for a Metroid movie, and while this isn't the role she showed interest in, maybe Nintendo will keep her in mind when casting for the eventual Metroid movie?
@user0 Aside from having the whole 2-in-one BS drive up the price, along with Link's house and the master sword pedestal being included when they could have just been their own sets, what's wrong with the Deku Tree?
@Spider-Kev Maybe that false advertising should be used as a grounds to have them removed from the eShop. Then again, it would probably be a Hydra situation, where you cut off one head and two more take its place because moderation and quality control are things that the Nintendo eShop laughs at...
@Pillowpants This is probably why Nintendo made the Switch 2 Pro Controller and GameCube controller exceedingly difficult to use on a PC. Thankfully, it seems like a driver is on its way, and should be released soon; I've been waiting to use my GameCube controller in Dolphin since I picked one up before I even got my Switch 2.
I'm not allowing myself to play anything else until I finish Tears of the Completionist. Aside from boss rematches, I've cleared out the depths and most of the sky, I just got to get cracking on Hyrule itself. Just awakened my third sage, so I'll probably finish up the sky and hunt some Koroks before moving on to the next sage.
Side note, since I've been playing Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom over the past few months, I ended up picking up the Great Deku Tree Lego set, and I've been chipping away at that over the past couple of days. It's a massive set, and I have to work on it in the few hours that I have between coming home from work and going to sleep, but I'm enjoying the build. Last night I got to the point where the instructions ask you which tree you want to build, Ocarina of Time, or Breath of the Wild. Since the Era of the Wilds games have been living rent free in my head for a long time now, and because it leaves the fewest leftover bricks, I decided to go with the Breath of the Wild version. Too bad there isn't a third option for the Wind Waker, but considering how tall that one would be, it's probably for the best.
If it weren't for the fact that we got more Sanrio crossover characters than characters from both Zelda and Splatoon combined, I'd say I wasn't too bothered by the absence of Epona, Wolf Link, Medli, Ganon, Felyne, and Inkwell. If nothing else, there were other characters I would have liked to see added to Animal Crossing, like Kass as an eagle. It's also a little bit of a missed opportunity to not redesign Inkwell to look more like Big Man in the same way Cece and Viché were redesigned to look more like Shiver and Frye.
A Link to the Past already got a remake on the GBA, with added content if you can get three other friends together to play Four Swords. If we're going to talk about games that are ripe for a remake, why not A Link Between Worlds?
More like "Kan you not?" Not everyone is watching trailers for this game that they've waited 18 years for. Maybe just don't put spoilers in the thumbnail, or at the very least blur the silhouette so that it's not as obvious to anyone who's played Hunters.
I'm not reading the review, just the conclusion, because I really am trying to know as little as possible going in outside of the characters Nintendo has shown off. That said, the gameplay is primarily what I'm here for, but I do hope the story is actually good and doesn't have the same problems I had with Age of Calamity or Tears of the Kingdom
Well now the decision to add an hourly music button makes a little more sense lol I hope we get the original Animal Crossing music in the near future. New Leaf is my favorite soundtrack across the series, but I also love how quirky the GC soundtrack is!
@Coalescence I remember random encounters being extremely annoying, especially in the latter half of the game, so at least it's true to the original in that sense. I hope that at the very least, the Dragonlord isn't a dogpoo boss fight like in the GBC version.
I still haven't played either of these games yet, but I am going to knock a point off of whatever score I end up giving either of them, because there should be an option to upgrade the Switch 1 version for Switch 2, if only for people who bought the game before buying the new hardware. This clearly wasn't an issue for them with DQ3 or Final Fantasy Tactics, so I don't understand why this collection can't have a similar patch available for Switch 2 owners.
Does Nintendo deserve some pushback for their more recent decisions? Absolutely. Does that mean you go telling everyone to pirate their most current software? Not a chance! Vote with your wallets, but don't try to have your cake and eat it too by playing games from the company you're boycotting, especially if it involves a chargeable offense, and ffs, don't go parading around the fact that you're doing such illegal things! You may as well just wear a bright neon shirt that says "sue me!"

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake?
@Coalescence I remember random encounters being extremely annoying, especially in the latter half of the game, so at least it's true to the original in that sense. I hope that at the very least, the Dragonlord isn't a dogpoo boss fight like in the GBC version.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake?
I still haven't played either of these games yet, but I am going to knock a point off of whatever score I end up giving either of them, because there should be an option to upgrade the Switch 1 version for Switch 2, if only for people who bought the game before buying the new hardware. This clearly wasn't an issue for them with DQ3 or Final Fantasy Tactics, so I don't understand why this collection can't have a similar patch available for Switch 2 owners.

@Regulus6891 Sounds like the Dragon Warrior I remember! 😂

@SirLink Exactly!
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment In-Store Demos Now Available (North America)
Surprised there isn't a demo on the eShop, like Age of Calamity had. Not that I really need one.
Re: Nintendo Wins Lawsuit Against 'Pirate' Streamer Who Taunted Company Online
Does Nintendo deserve some pushback for their more recent decisions? Absolutely. Does that mean you go telling everyone to pirate their most current software? Not a chance! Vote with your wallets, but don't try to have your cake and eat it too by playing games from the company you're boycotting, especially if it involves a chargeable offense, and ffs, don't go parading around the fact that you're doing such illegal things! You may as well just wear a bright neon shirt that says "sue me!"
