Backlogged so mostly waiting... will probably get Mario and Sphinx eventually. I hope the game-breaking bug in Sphinx is fixed. That would probably decide it for me.
Agree with most of these. Super Mario 3D Land and Tri Force Heroes would also work, no?
I wouldn't mind if they made the ice boss for Luigi's Mansion a touch easier... been trying and trying to get past that one and I just can't seem to get the timing down.
Physical but transitioning to digital. Historically it's been cheaper to buy new games in physical form (oddly enough) but that will be changing next year with programs like Gamer's Club getting phased out.
Intriguing, and best of luck to them, but I've given up on Kickstarters for games. Getting ripped off once was enough. There's no quality control to make sure it's actually playable and fun.
@Darthroseman Fair point. I guess I like several characters despite not being into their games... just feels like an obscure choice. If they're all going to be like this one, the Pass could wind up being kind of boring.
Not a strong start to the DLC roster for me. It's great for the people that know the games, but I couldn't care less about this character. Maybe I'll hold off on buying the Fighter Pass...
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I see Sony headed back to third place. They did it to themselves in the PS3 era, then the Wii U failed, then Xbox One stumbled out of the gate. Now I guess it's Playstation's turn to screw up?
I'd like to see them pull a Majora's Mask, in a few ways. It'd be fun to bring the mask mechanic back, and if they re-use BOTW assets they can speed up turn around time. Maybe it could take place in BOTW's future, so there could be more buildings and cities.
Also agree that the broken weapon mechanic could be improved. I mostly didn't care, but it always hurt to use up a weapon I loved. A repair mechanic would fix that.
@justin233 I was wondering the same thing. At first I thought maybe it was just for Ridley since he's a little bigger, but it looks like they're raising the price across the board...
Calling a huge quantity of the games shovelware isn't exactly fair unless you've PLAYED a huge quantity of the games. Everything I've played has been fun, and it's better than the reverse problem we had during the Wii U days...
My only complaint is the need to check in. I tend to play offline, undocked, so it comes up every week, then I have to remember to dock so I can play NES games again. I paid for a year. Can't I just check in after a year?
I'll probably snag Mario Party, not sure about anything else. Starlink looks fun but I'd like to read some reviews first.
The Zelda content makes Diablo 3 very tempting, but I already have it on Xbox. Might get it when its cheaper, especially if they add more than just Ganondorf...
I figured we we were done so this is great news to me! I'd love another Zelda character, personally. A new Pokemon seems more likely though. Eevee, perhaps?
And with three Links, we need three Marios to balance things out... maybe they'll add Paper Mario!
THANK YOU. All the negativity is getting old quick. It really is a good deal, and they made it as painless as they could. I see nothing but good ahead as the service will no doubt continue to improve.
I'm enjoying the service so far. The NES games are fun, and gameplay for online games is pretty much as it was. No reason to complain.
@Whalehome Similar concept to Skyrim, but everything is underground in one insane, sprawling dungeon. The first two games paved the way for Elder Scrolls and the like, early pioneers in 3D and all that.
I never got to play the second but I remember the first rather fondly.
The guide for the original version of Link to the Past for Super NES. I loved the way it was written like a storybook and just enjoyed reading it. Guides back in the day used to be so creative and filled with background info and goodies, I miss that. I barely even used it as an actual guide!
Close runner up would be Hyrule Historia. Love that book.

Re: Treat Yourself To A Bargain Or Two With The Nintendo New Year's Sale In North America
@Dman10 Yes! A season pass sale would be nice... they discount the base game and the gold edition all the time, but never the DLC.

@gaga64 8-bit Catroidvania ftw.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th December (North America)
@ryancraddock Awesome, thanks!
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th December (North America)
Smash! Got my pre-order for the deluxe version in ages ago.
Would appreciate reviews of Everspace and the Sega Classics collection... pretty interested in both.
Re: Smash Battles: Vote For Your Favourite Super Smash Bros. Characters
@Greator My main! A little sad he's been pitted against Kirby, one of my other favorites.
Re: People Are Review-Bombing Pokémon: Let's Go Across Major Sites, Amazon Japan Blocks User Scores
This is why we can't have nice things.
They're making a traditional Pokemon game next year. It wouldn't have come out any faster if this game had never existed.
Re: Nintendo Embraces Opportunity To Share New Games At E3 2019 As Sony Opts Out
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I see Sony headed back to third place. They did it to themselves in the PS3 era, then the Wii U failed, then Xbox One stumbled out of the gate. Now I guess it's Playstation's turn to screw up?
Re: THQ Nordic Announces Another Three Games For Switch, All Launching In 2019
Never finished Sphinx, though I enjoyed what I played! For $30 it better be a remaster though, otherwise I'll just stick with the GCN version.
Re: YouTube Has Officially Arrived On Nintendo Switch
@Xcape_DuCkMAN_X Nice! It's always been one of Youtube's best features IMO.
Re: YouTube Has Officially Arrived On Nintendo Switch
I was just wishing for this last night, perfect for watching MST3K!
Where's the Nintendo Download article for this week??

Re: Random: Brie Larson Reveals She Wants To Make A Metroid Movie After Dressing As Samus For Halloween
Let's see how the Mario movie and Captain Marvel come out first...
Am I the only one who wouldn't mind a MCU-style shared universe eventually culminating in a Subspace Emissary movie??

Re: More Fighters Are Being Added To The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo Line
@Shadowkiller97 Gah! I look when I'm there but I never find any! Bestbuy.com had them for awhile but sold out before I pulled the trigger.
Re: More Fighters Are Being Added To The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo Line
I hope they make this Link compatible with BOTW. The prior Majora's Mask amiibo is impossible to find for a good price anymore.
Re: Poll: What Do You Want To See From The Final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?
Subspace Emissary 2, with support for 4 player co-op. A new Zelda character would be nice, otherwise there's no one "missing" for me.

Re: Over 50% Of Nintendo Switch Online Subscribers Have Purchased The Annual Plan
Got the annual pretty early on.
My only complaint is the need to check in. I tend to play offline, undocked, so it comes up every week, then I have to remember to dock so I can play NES games again. I paid for a year. Can't I just check in after a year?
Re: Explore The Quirky Hand-Drawn Worlds Of Hidden Folks On Nintendo Switch, Out Next Week
Fun concept! The sound effects could get old eventually... And yeah, I'd definitely wait for a sale or price drop.

Re: Battlezone Gold Edition Brings Its First-Person Tank Combat To Switch Next Month

Re: Review: Super Mario Party - The Life And Soul Of The Party Once More
@luke88 I was curious about the number of boards as well...
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For October And November
I'll probably snag Mario Party, not sure about anything else. Starlink looks fun but I'd like to read some reviews first.
The Zelda content makes Diablo 3 very tempting, but I already have it on Xbox. Might get it when its cheaper, especially if they add more than just Ganondorf...
Re: Sakurai Warns Smash Bros. Fans That New Character Reveals Will Slow Down From Now On

And with three Links, we need three Marios to balance things out... maybe they'll add Paper Mario!
Re: Random: Fans Ask For A Philips CD-i Classic, Philips Says "We Will Try Our Best"
Didn't Philips sue Nintendo? Doubt their relationship is good enough to where Nintendo will allow them to have the Mario and Zelda games.
Re: Sony Will Step Away From The Handheld Games Business In 2019, Leaving It All To Nintendo
