While those games weren't great I still have a lot of good memories of playing them with my brothers.

I bought the game used and played trough it. Am I now allowed to share my problems about the game... or do I count as "a whiner" according to some people here?

I'm glad Nintendolife still keeps reporting about competitive Smash Bros. It's also very nice to see actual thought put behind some comments. Not all though, usually they're very surface level like:

• This person should get a "real job"
• "Games shouldn't be played competetively because I don't like that"
• "Why are they still playing a 20 year old game???"

Yes, it's good to have valid criticism but I see that so rarely in Nintendolife when it comes to competetive Smash Bros. And to anyone commenting how they can't understand why they're talking about this one person (=important person to a large competetive scene, and it's getting even bigger because of the latest developments in Melee netplay)... yeah, keep on giving add revenue to NL by clicking these articles, more Melee related content for me to read.

@sixrings
Yeah, I don't mind that 2020 looks empty for Nintendo, it just could hurt Switch sales momentum badly after most people have bought Animal Crossing.

Well, Shin Megami Tensei V was announced like 3,5 years ano. Good for the fans that it's finally coming.

Sunshine had the best Mario to control in a 3D game. I just love the moveset. A lot of people complain about the lack of long jump while I always complained about the lack of slide move in Galaxy games. It got replaced with... the ability to shoot stars? Bleh!

@Reprise
What exactly about Crash 1-3 doesn't stand the test of time? Controls? Level design? Super Mario 64 is a great game but it's not a "timeless classic" in every area. For example we've seen better cameras in newer 3D games.

This is just sad to hear. There's just so much potential for Mario RPG and limiting the creative process is just awful. Yes, having limits forces you to be more creative but there's a limit for that too.

@rdm22
There are differences between the series though:

• In Paper Mario the HP and attack numbers are really low so you can calculate exactly how much damage you need to do in order to take down your opponents.
• Mario & Luigi on the other hand is about performing even wackier attacks with damage and HP in HUNDREDS.

For me, that was one of the bigger reasons that made both series combat more unique from each other.

@jtmnm
On that note, I'm kinda jealous of those players who like Sticker Star and Color Splash. I gave those games a chance but I just can't understand why someone would like the new combat, recycled level themes with little variotions or really anything else about the new games. Well, there's at least something I like: Sticker Star has a really good snow level theme and Color Splash is excellent visually. But that's about it.

@jtmnm
I understand the point about Super Paper Mario being the turning point.

But...

Even though Super Paper Mario has different gameplay that isn't as good as in those that came before, I still found it enjoyable. The story though... for me, it's easily the best story in a Mario game s.o. far.

I found both Sticker Star and Color Splash lacking in both the gameplay and story department so for me (and for many others I suppose) these two were the turning point for worse.

Can't say anything about Origami King yet. Maybe I end up borrowing it one day if any of my friends end up buying it.

@Maulbert
I give that game credit especially for the fact that bothered to actually write a great Mario story.

My Paper Mario tier list:

S: Paper Mario Thousand Year Door (The first one I played so you can call my opinion biased or whatever... but for me, this had the best new original themes for levels, great original characters and really solid battle mechanics.)
A: Paper Mario (I played TTYD first so technically every PM has been a disappointment in some way since. Still a great game.)
B+: Mario & Luigi Paper Jam (not technically a Paper Mario game but it has the best battle mechanics in a Mario rpg to date)
B: Super Paper Mario (special mention for having easily the greatest story in a Mario game).
C: -
D: -
E: Paper Mario Sticker Star & Color Splash (Special mention... After these, I swore to not complete any more games in X series just for the sake of having completed every other game so far in X series. Yeah, I don't like these. The Wii U hae nice visuals though).

@Dethmunk
Innovation alone doesn't make the final product great by default. People have the right to critisize this game. Sure, it's early for that since most of us haven't played this yet. What I'm seeing is that people want to go back to traditional mechanics (that could be made even better) now that Mario & Luigi series is essentially dead. In a few weeks, there will be a lot more comments of this game by users that have actually completed this game.

If this game is good or even then... that's great. I just lost faith for Paper Mario after Sticker Star and Color Splash.

Played the original with 4 GBA's with my cousins. A lot of fun in local,though I always much preferred Zelda Four Sword Adventures.

Does is this require NSO subscription? Not having local kinda defeats the purpose of this rerelease.

21/21.
I've played them all and love the art.

I'm sad that stuff like this happens but glad that it got exposed so that we can make a safer competitive enviroment in the future. As a part of a small country's Smash Bros scene I really want to make a better future for our niche hobby.

@Jokerwolf
Also dancing, since he's greatest achievement was being the first boss in Dance Dance revolution Mario Mix.

Waluigi is not a villain, he's our lord and savior.

Ultimate Chicken Horse.
One of the best multiplayer platformers out there. Last time I checked NL hadn't reviewed it.

@RupeeClock
I have. It's the worst Shantae and I'm glad they've improved with sequels. Sure they can make the first game better but personally I'd take a new game over remake anyday.
...
Unless it's a remake of F-Zero GX with online play.

Best news today. I've waited for this longer than a new F-Zero.

Just make the original available on modern platforms, no need for remakes. That's my opinion in general when it comes to remakes with very few expections.

Does this work with just one cartridge and other players downloading a free app from eshop?

Um... Whens co-op?

I hope he gets to face MkLeo in a future tournament. Congratulations for the victory!

I hope it's great and not like... the last two games. And if anyone has a problem with this statement I'm allowed to say it. I played the last two games unfortunately. <(-_-)>

Nintendo provides a lot of great gaming content. Shame that online features can't be considered among that.

"... some of it's most enduring franchises, such as F-Zero..."

Last F-Zero game: F-Zero Climax (2004).

;(

Finally a portable version.

I was wondering why the heck Switch didn't connect. Should have tested my wi-fi with other devices.

@The_Pixel_King
Nice to see that someone knows Zero Ranger here.

Windjammers 2 release date pleeeease!

It looks... wierd.

E3 was a gaming news highlight for me for years. It's impact has greatly diminished over the years though. I prefer smaller scale stuff like Nintendo Directs now.

@Jokerwolf
Wouldn't call it mediocre myself but yeah AM2R is better.

Is it true that there are actually game museums where you can't play games? Because we have one in Finland where all the games in display are available for playing. Well, apart from those in ''fake game shop' display.

Oh man, they might discount even up to 10 percent!

FIFA should be free to play.
Hey, I played Fifa 98 back in 1998, I know something about the series.

Black Shadow from F-Zero deconfirmed for Smash bros.

@xpownz
I still don't get why we can't get a new F-Zero. They could market it as the Dark Souls of racing games.

They will. We will get less major 3rd party ports. Not going to affect indie support which is more important for me.

I wish it was made by literally any other animation studio.

I'm going to get a lot of hate for saying this but...

Techonology advances so fast now I wish things slowed down a bit and we could use the original Switch hardware until the year 2024 or something. There's propably going to be Switch Pro or something in few years.

@DrDaisy
The bosses in the game aren't that long really. Cuphead has my favourite kind of challenges really: very hard but short and fast to retry.

Been waiting for Switch port since January 2018. So glad it's finally coming. Much easier to bring a ROA set to tournaments now.

This is kinda cute.

Took me few minutes to realise but since I share my NSO family account with seven other people I pay less than 5€ for it yearly. That's three times less than Pokemon Home.

Not happy with this service, no support from me... not that it matters.

So I can store 30 Pokemon for free. That's not much. The premium costs three times the amount that Bank does.

...

WHAT?!?

Wish he got some prize money too but still... that's a nice controller.

I've heard about this game from my friend before. Might get this with my bonus points.
