How big is the demo in terms of file-size?

Should have released it for Switch with HD graphics. I already found it baffling that they skipped "Partner's in Time", which is - in my opinion - a far better game than Bowser's Inside Story...

Waluigi haters GTFO

Mario Golf: Switch Tour please....

Love how the Bubsy haters are getting triggered by this.

"And fourthly, if you're of the adult disposition, you should absolutely consider introducing some alcohol into the mix"
What an absolute degenerate. Disgusting.

Score is way too high again, as always - Nintendo's paycheck must have felt too good. Only four boards is a joke. Can you at least adjust the turns in the classic Mario Party mode? Can I play 50 turns if I wanted to? (probably not...)

It should be at least DOUBLE that number, especially considering how small these boards are. We might get post-launch content but I'm not gonna support that practice. If I pay full price, I want the full game immediately and not wait for "updates".

Good. I'm not even going to pay more than 5 bucks for this sad excuse of a "service". Nintendo is really dumb if they really thought that it would only be used by families. Should have called this a "Nintendo Group Account" or something.

Would be more impressive if we can actually play these games in real 16:9. HD resolution can mean anything... would be kinda stupid if the HD resolution they are talking about is just 720p.

How much worse can this "service" get? Absolutely laughable.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (PC)

So that means that Nintendo doesn't have any games except Smash for this year. What a joke. Nintendo can't do anything right.

I guess my 3.5GB counterfeit micro-sd card from China isn't enough then. Oh well. I didn't want to get this game in the first place. No Waluigi = No buy.

@Cobalt Don't listen to these fanboys, they would gobble up anything Nintendo throws at them. I really enjoy reading your comments as you don't seem to be afraid of criticizing Nintendo for their sub-par performance.

As for Smash: it's an enhanced port. The animations are exactly the same as in Smash 4 with some minor tweaks. There are far more differences between Smash 64 / Melee / Brawl / Smash 4 than there are between Smash 4 and Smash 5.

The Nintendo Direct was a huge disappointment... they spent way too much time on the Smash part. There wasn't even anything exciting. What Smash 5 really needs is a single player mode that is actually worth playing. I doubt that they can manage to make something meaningful though.

I'd rather want to see an entirely new Mario Kart title.

The site looked better before the re-design.

Mario Tennis Aces is a rushed game and Camelot Software Planning has completely lost their touch over the past years. During the GC/GBA era they produced top-notch Mario sports games but everything that came after that has been a disappointment (according to reviews).

Mario Tennis Aces is no different. It's a port of the Wii U game and they STILL couldn't add enough to warrant the price tag:

> local multiplayer has a MANDATORY splitscreen (wtf)
> the "Adventure Mode" is nothing but a beefed up minigame-mode with simple cutscenes; it is nowhere near as complex as the story mode in the GBA title, which Nintendo advertised (false advertising)
> Adventure Mode is only 3-4 hours, repetitive and frustrating
> characters are added via DLC (at least it's free)
> custom settings are horrible (no way to change the number of sets, only way to choose courts is via a weird convoluted exclusion setting)
> no Item mode like in Power Tennis
> only three single player tournaments without any funny winning animations like in Power Tennis (and you don't even unlock anything, making this mode completely useless)
> swing mode is a gimmicky dud
> no customization options like custom rackets
> day one update (1.9 GB)

This is the consensus of multiple reviews that I've read. I also played the demo and the online gameplay was absolutely horrendous, the worst online experience I have ever had in my life. The controls were delayed by one or even two seconds, making all matches unplayable.

The reviewers on this site probably get money from Nintendo in exchange for good scores. I can't possibly think of any other reason why so many titles are overrated on this website. NintendoLife is also quick to damage control / defend Nintendo.

No Glydon.

lol @ that damage control

I want Waluigi and Bubsy in Smash.
Too bad that Sakurai is involved, that means no Waluigi.

It was alright. Alright as in 5/10. It sucked less than any Direct I've seen before. Yoshi 2018, Kirby 2018 and Metroid Prime 4 seemed interesting and Super Mario Odyssey looks good. Didn't care about anything else.

Now, where's Mario Golf for Switch?!

Waluigi!

Finally! Too bad that Nintendo is too lazy to fix this exploit in the Wii U version.

Absolutely amazing! I'm going to play Breath of the Wild on the best system - the PC. It's already possible to play this game in 4K resolution.
I've already dumped my other Wii U games. Hacks or mods aren't needed as this article suggests, you simply need an Internet connection and a Wii U.

Can't Nintendo get ANYTHING right?!

What happened to Nintendo and "2nd Party" developers? The sports games on the GameCube were absolutely stellar (Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Superstar Baseball, Mario Smash Football) and this is all we are getting now? A watered-down sports compilation? Also, this should have been a Wii U game...

"However, fully powering off the Switch isn't entirely obvious. Pressing the power button on the top of the unit simply sends it into Sleep Mode." I hate stuff like this. I always power down all my devices when they are not in use and even switch off the plugbars. The power button should be there to power down the device, not to send it into sleep mode.

"My Switch is on fire! What do I do?!" Nintendo: "That is normal and should not be considered a defect."

Overpriced piece of s... I mean plastic.

Maybe it runs better on PC when I play this on Cemu Wii U emulator next year. Then I also don't have to deal with the 900p resolution and I can go straight to 2160p.

I always hate design changes.
So I hate this.
You should go back to your 2010 design:

What a failure. It would have been fine if it was possible to search for User IDs but this is just plain stupid.

I might get it for my PC when it's €25 instead of €70. (Will likely never happen)

I wasn't even hyped but Nintendo still let me down.
Oh well. I'll buy one in 2022 or so when I can get one used for less than half the launch price. So far only Super Mario Odyssey seemed interesting.

Mario Golf: Advance Tour and Mario Tennis: Power Tour are missing from this list. Please fix it.

It's really ugly, it's cluttered, way too bright and there is unused white space everywhere. And it seems that ads are displayed on member's profile pages. Disgusting and horrible like all these redesigns on other websites.

The Mario sport games aren't on that list.

All I really want is a new Mario Golf game.

This marks Birdo's first appearance as a playable character on the Wii U. Nice!

Awesome! I really love Super Mario Land!

I'll just play Mario Power Tennis on the Dolphin Emulator and enjoy 1080p graphics and online play with friends.

The progress on that emulator is absolutely amazing! You can even play Mario Kart 8 now! I'm looking forward to more updates. One day, I might just be able to play these games on PC while cranking up the rendering resolution like in the Dolphin Emulator. Just imagine Mario Kart 8 in 4K... though by that time we likely have Mario Kart 9 on NX.

"The 16-bit Mascot Nobody Asked For" Lolwut? I want him to be in Smash and I liked his 3D game. I actually consider Bubsy 3D the best video game in the Bubsy series.
I hope he'll get a new game someday.

By the way: Bubsy > Sonic. Let the storm begin.

This game sucks. Nuff said. Online play is useless if there's no way to play with friends so you might as well give this game a score now.

I just checked NintendoWorldReport's preview. There is no way to play with friends online.

Shove this abomination of a game up your butt, Camelot. What a ripoff.

This game offers less than every Mario Tennis game before (maybe except Mario's Tennis for Virtual Boy). Really disappointing.... this looks more like a $15 eShop title than a full-fledged game.
I'll probably still buy it for the online mode. By the way, is it possible to create rooms similar to Mario Kart and Smash where you can host matches with your friends? This feature should be a given but it hasn't been mentioned yet...

I don't see what's so bad about it?

Waluigi is the number one!
However, if this game has no online-mode then I won't buy it. Online is a must for a multiplayer game like this. It's 2015.

From what I've seen, the game looks incredibly barren and the Mega Mushroom mode looks like garbage. Oh, and where's Mario Golf Wii U?

I'd have bought it if it wasn't so expensive.

Waluigi! Snake! Bubsy!
