This is one of those things I agree, but also struggle with. My fondest memory of Mario Sunshine is using the shoulder buttons for the Fludd controls. That was a new thing for Nintendo at the time, and I loved it. On the flip side, control experimentation can also lead to having to waggle a Wiimote for Link to swing a sword 🤣

I'm a big ole nerd, I won't even listen to these tracks before I play the game, because of "spoilers."😅

My wife graciously bought me this for an early Christmas present! I am so ready to play!

Wonderful! I've been waiting for the button remapping! Time for some SMB3!

@Lumi777 Oooooh okay. Thanks for clarifying. I'm dumb and confused a bunch of things.

I might be mistaken, but isn't there a remake already?

So glad I found Nintendo Life about 8 years ago. It's become my all time favorite website. I check it every day! Happy birthday!🎊

@johnedwin @MirrorFate2 What content was removed?

@DennyCrane Yes! I'd love to see some unique ghosts/monsters too, not just a bunch of generic ones.

@DennyCrane Well said! Those are my exact sentiments. And LM3 is, I think, the only Nintendo AAA I never finished and sold.

@DennyCrane I agree! Loved this one, but never really clicked with the sequels.

I remember getting Luigi's Mansion day one with the GameCube. Dad took me to Walmart at like 5 am to get it. Haven't played it since then. This might be my reason to upgrade to the Expansion Pack.

@Munchlax And a Duck Tales 2?!

Man, those are tempting. I caved and bought the pixel remasters cartridge after already buying digital on both PC and Switch. I also have FFVII and FFIX on both PC and Switch. DO I REALLY NEED THE PHYSICAL OF THOSE TOO?!!!!

Probably.

As much as I love all the additional tracks on the Switch version (especially the battle themes), I have a heavy nostalgia and love for the GameCube versions.

@progx I saw that price and was kinda blown away by how cheap it is compared to other AAA Switch 2 games. Is it going up to $69.99 once it comes out?

I've been on the fence about this one for years, but I think I'm finally sold now that it's on Switch 2!

Awwwwwwwww yeeaaahhhhhhhh!

I thought something fishy was going on! The eShop kept crashing on me! Got my Silksong tho!

I got married right around when the Switch 2 came out, so my gaming time has reduced drastically. I'll be getting Silksong, but who knows if I'll ever finish it!🤣

Very sweet! I will gladly pick up this one once again! Maybe I can 100% it this time!

I had no idea what this was until now. Love the concept! Ready to play!

Fantastic, phenomenal game! I remember the magic and joy of playing it the first time! Plus, the humor is spot on!

Weird that Octopath has a generic custom lead character, but it still looks good. I'm very excited for the Elliot game.

And did I miss something, is the Oblivion remake coming to Switch 2?

The game is so much more fun than I was expecting! So much fun to explore and mess around. Might have to change my score from a 9 to a 10, because it just may end up being one of my favorite ever games.

@adamagogobaby Yeah, I think you just press x or y to hide the UI.

I didn't even know this was a thing until I left the opening screen on and walked into another room. When I came back, I was like "whoa, this is so cool!"

Still a kid at heart, I guess. 😁

My body is ready for some DK destruction time!!!!!

I've played very few of the Mario Kart's, so even though I'm a gaming veteran, I've not heard most of these tracks.

They are pretty stinkin' good though.

Ooooooh very nice! Makes me want to play, but I'll hold out a little longer just in case there's a remake/remaster!

I hope SE do some Switch 2 upgrades to some of those games, especially DQ11! I'd love a 4K playthrough of that one!

I haven't played any Mario Kart since the Wii U version, so it's been a blast being terrible and trying out all the modes!

I even tried some online play, which is something I hardly ever do, and I got a huge kick out of the elimination mode!

@Lorenzi Thanks for the response! I'm loving the game so far, and now that I got the Switch 2 setup, I'm ready to jump back in on the new console!

I've enjoyed going through menus and things. Haven't played a game yet, but I'm already having a good time!

@Lorenzi Will the game need to be patched to play properly on the Switch 2?

@WhiteTrashGuy Great story! I can relate so much. I'm old and "mature" now, but the Switch 2 has got me very excited!

This games looks great. I bought it this morning, and I'm stoked to play it!

Definitely getting Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo! It'll be my last purchase for the Switch 1🤯

Got my purchase invite email from Nintendo last night and was able to order without any hassle. There's still hope, fellas!

To my surprise, the confirmation email claims it'll ship by June 4. We'll see about that 😄

@Tott @MocawNow @TME

Literally just got my purchase invite email and was able to order without any hassle. There's still hope, fellas!

To my surprise, the confirmation email claims it'll ship by June 4. We'll see about that 😄

Animal Well is an experience that stayed with me a long time. I definitely want this book to learn more about it.

I've been wanting to play these, so it's good to know they will all probably come to Switch 2.

I just hope my nostalgia for the original game doesn't make me nitpick everything 😂

Cubivore is one I always wanted to play.

@N00BiSH I think you might be onto something 🤔

Awesome, I've been waiting for this! I would have 100%ed Sea of Stars, but just couldn't get a handle on the wheels mini game. Regardless, between the Equinox update and this new DLC, I'm very happy to dive back in!

Man, it's hard to pick just one. I'm excited for the potential new entries in so many of these series. So many good ideas in the article and comments too. Take note Nintendo!

My buddy, who's always been my heads up for Nintendo console preorders, called me last night and said that Switch 2 preorders are live. I was like, "I'll risk it and just wait on my invite from Nintendo."

Whoops.

@Athropos I was wondering the same thing. I held off playing X for various reasons, and will finally have the chance to play it when the Switch 2 comes out.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy I don't think the GC version of Twilight Princess had widescreen. The Wii version did, however.

I never played the GC version or the WiiU remake, so I hope we get it in some form on Switch 2. Great game, but I never entirely clicked with it on Wii because of the motion controls.

I'm not particularly into racing games, but stuff like this really makes me want Mario Kart World.
