I just can't get enough of Akira Toriyama's artwork.

Having only one new level for 20€ is way too much. Waiting for a discount but since we are talking about Nintendo, I don't expect it to be more than minus 4€ from the base price... ever.

I hope they add the 2nd Klonoa on GBA later, since I haven't played that one yet.

Although, I have to say: I much preferred Klonoa 1 and 2 on PS1 and PS2 when compared to the first GBA entry. The level design was too blocky for my taste and there was a heavier focus on puzzles rather than tight platforming challenges. Also, the bosses with the zooming effects were something I expected to see in the main levels as well. Klonoa is at it's best when it has nice 2,5D effects in it's level design.

I was prepared for a prerelease tournament next month but I'm happy with the new October release date, since I didn't have anything planned for that spesific day yet (October 5th for us). Lucky me it will be a day after 4th of October, The Comic 24 day (wordwide event held during the first weekend of October, with the goal of drawing a 24 pages long comic in 24 hours).

Funny to see Mega Man 10 mentioned in bad light the review, being actually a great game while Bloodstained CoftM2 is one of the few games ever I regret supporting by purchasing it, even at a massive discount. Game controls are very stiff, the levels are too long, bosses feel very awkward to try to beat with stiff controls like these... I could list more things I hate about this game but we'd be here all day. But hey, you can share the pain with a friend.

If you want an actually great co-op Castlevania experience, just play Castlevania Harmony of Despair (It was actually mentioned in the review!) It's SO MUCH BETTER!

I gotta give some credit for the very unique idea... but:

• It wasn't very fun to play and control
• Trying perform some of the advanced techniques was weird, sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't even when it felt like I had done the motions the same way both times
• Already got to try this for free thanks to playtest and since Nintendo doesn't offer refunds the way Steam does, I'm not dropping any money to this digital only 1st party title

Also: I want the robot wheelchairperson as a playable character for the next Super Smash Bros.

Can we just not forget Silksong and just enjoy a promising Terminator game as well?

Most artists I know started their careers by making fan art. In fact, many of the younger generation of Pokemon Company workers crew up with Pokemon media and made tons of fan art before getting a job from Pokemon Company.

This comment section has been wild. I'm glad there are still people here on NL that don't just blame fans for drawing fan art.

Ultimate Chicken Horse is amazing, maybe I'll get this one as well.

Haha, silly Nintendo being silly.... again.

I'm glad they have a test version for this. Being a download only 1st party title propably means no physical version ever, no good discounts ever and I'm not gonna buy anything from Nintendo's digital stores unless I'm absolutely sure the product is great (like FAST Fusion, one of the best Switch 2 games so far) since you can't get refunds like on Steam.

Why not both?

Why?

This was a great game to play on PC with my friend. I can't recommend this game enough. We need more amazing co-op experiences.

I've done three star challenges in enough Mario Kart's already. As a game it's way too chaotic with all the items flying around. I play the cups once, then it's time for local multiplayer and online. I'll put more of my energy into titles like F-Zero GX.

I wish Fast Fusion was on the overall best sellers list but at least it's 3rd in the download only category. Still wish it would sell more than Welcome Tour.

It' a great co-op but story was easily the weakest part of the experience. The movie can improve a lot on that front.

Literally the greatest racing game and one of the best games ever made.

Being able to dodge the Blue Shell is a must have feature

@Jack_Goetz
Same. Saw a commercial of this in Awesome Games Done Quick 2019 and still haven't played. Maybe it's finally time.

As much canon as Age of Calamity? It should have been about a battle you can't win, like Halo Reach. Instead we got an alternative timeline.

I care about stories in my games and since I'm pretty tired of Warriors gameplay loop after four different games, I just might not even borrow thos one.

Ah, Don Mattrick and his out of touch comments. A true classic.

As some people here have already pointed out, Switch 2's case is closer to that of PS1 after the launch of PS2, or PS2 after the launch of PS3, or... (list of every PS home console so far).

For the asking price, this truly needs to be the biggest damn Mario Kart in history.

In case they decide to ask money for DLC, it needs to be added as part of NSO Expansion, which is like 8,75€ a year with a full family.

Well, if you don't have to show up at the office for work, then this is possible to do.

Two years ago, almost everyone here was talking about TOTK's 70€ price. I got it at launch for 59€ from the local supermarket.

Don't they have these kind of upgrades free on Xbox and Playstation? I'll be downloading these with my family NSO Expansion, 8,75e a year.

Would be nice to have that option and not just leave it on Wii U.

@jetsetradion
I don't really see this article as "a chance to knock the Big N" but honestly, I prefer some criticism over blindly praising everything Nintendo does.

I expected this to be included with the system, like the excellent Astro's Playroom on PS5. Or if we go 14 years back on time, the free software that came with 3DS: Faceraiders and AR app (don't remember the name, but it was fun to play at launch).

Not cool. I advise everyone to buy some amazing indie game instead.

Looks very nice!

Never owned the first one, only played it like once at my friends place. Still have the copy of Croc 2 on PS1. I liked that one less than any Spyro or Crash on the platform but it was still an interesting game to play trough with my brothers. Maybe they'll remaster that one too, or heck, make Croc 3. That was the game I was actually waiting for back in the day because kid me thought that every game in existence will surely get more sequels.

@Rpg-lover
At launch yes.

It's been over 11 years. This must be second longest time between new DK releases, only beaten by the time gap between Donkey Kong 3 and Donkey Kong 94.

Well at least this time internal memory isn't pathetic 32gb like on Wii U and Switch so it's not that big of a problem for me.

Rest in peace and condolences to the family.

So... people are no longer leaking just actual release dates but pre-order dates too?

Ok.

I'm very happy to add bew Porygon cards to my collection. Those are one of the few things I collect, I'm mostly a tcg player.

I literally have every Porygon, Porygon2 and Porygon-Z in my collection... other than the japanese only Fan Club Porygon card. Those prices...

Looks very, very promising...
But I'll download a demo first and if I end up buying, it'll be from Steam, since they allow refund when playtime is less than 2 hours.

It was truly a great final boss. Also the only time in the series where it was truly wirth it to complete the Pokedex. My other favourites:

• Pokemon Colosseum Final boss (his Slaking was epic)
• Scarlet/Violet AI battle
• Finding Red at the top of Mt.Silver... and the ridiculous level difference when compared to the next highest level trainer in the game.

It is. Just accept the facts.

Good. Just play the game. It's fun.

About Mario Party 9 (since I'm something of a MP nerd myself):
Just because something is original, doesn't make it automatically good. The designers stated in Iwata asks interview that the decision to put all the players in the same vehicle was because "there was nothing to do while other players rolled the dice in previous Mario Party games"... which is just plain wrong. An important part in the previous Mario Party games was paying attention to what your opponents are doing on their turn: what items they buy and use, do they manipulate your moves with items such as poison mushrooms and pipes, etc. Mario Party 9 lacks a lot of planning decision making since all the players are heading to the same direction while sitting in a car (there are different dices to use, but a lot less decision making that would actually matter in the long run). As someone who has played every Mario Party game to date, I'm just glad that awful era of Mario Party games (2012-2017) is over (Mario Party Advance can join the bottom tier party of MP too). What MP9 and 10 (and the 3DS entries) had though, were solid minigames and extra modes.

If car ever makes it grand return to Mario Party I hope it's put into an extra mode and doesn't limit the number of traditional MP boards... unless they make a lot of great changes to car mechanics, somehow making it the best MP main mode ever. I have no idea what that would require though.

And now about Kamiya...

I'm really looking forwars to Õkami 2 and other games he's going to be working on in the future.

@Anti-Matter
Have you played Lego Island? That was the first Lego game released in the west and also one of the first pc games I got. Lego City Undercover was fun. Not one of my absolute favourites but still a great 8/10 title that deserves a sequel.

Tony Hawk's Underground 2 is the best one because you can play as Shrek.

I have a japanese account as well so I guess I'll download this.

DK94 is one of top 5 Game Boy titles but I gotta ask...

Whens DK64? We got that for Wii U 10 YEARS AGO.

Not all these "brand new games" are new though.

Glad I noticed this early enough.

When will they patch this poor HD version though?

Magic the Gathering used to be about it's own world and characters, now it's about Spongebob punching Cloud while the 4th Doctor is dancing in the backround.

Not that I really care, I'm mostly a Pokemon TCG player myself.

Black and White remakes... both 1 and 2 on a single cartridge... Pokemon company has more than enough money for that and they need make the GREATEST REMAKES EVER after what they did with Gen4 remakes (and yes, I've actually played trough Brilliant Diamond, only borrowed it though).
