when it comes to nintendo consoles, the first party games are all i ever look forward to. that might change with how well some of the third party titles seem to run though...very happy to see sf6 in the launch line-up!
@TimelessJubilee This. It's nice to look back at all the games i've completed. I only play stuff on Nintendo Consoles and PC, and while i can certainly do without achievements (i like keeping track of stuff i complete in a notebook), i do really like seeing all the progress i made on my steam profile. its pretty swag. It'd be nice to see achievements on a nintendo console one day!
Double Dash is still my favorite Mario Kart game. 8 comes real close though! Curious to see if MK World will be my new favorite over DD once it releases
If the content in the base game is really vast and complete, i think the $80 price point could still be justified. And i mean, if i enjoy the game thoroughly I wouldn't complain about more content packs being released. Especially if they're themed LMAO
Play this game a LOT already on PC and steam deck. still picking it up on NS2 just because of how good it is. very excited to see a title like this come to the switch!
the Y1-Y2 content makes it more than worth it (elena) : )
Really sucks to hear. really hoping the prices won't increase. they're already pretty hefty as it is. I'm not very fond of that president-type individual they got over there :/
my favorite reveal by a landslide! actually had me gasp out loud the moment i realised it was tomodachi. still playing the same 7 year old save to this day
Tomodachi is all i've ever wanted. still check in on my 3DS island to this day. That game has a very special place in my heart. also super happy about the new rhythm heaven and metroid prime. I'm beyond happy about this direct, and we haven't even had the switch 2 direct yet!
Hope they actually release it this time! Having, what is essentially, a built in shader pack in minecraft would be so nice to see. Love this! hope they'll bring it to Java edition sooner rather than later.
Darn, only for iMessage. that's a bummer. Reminds me of this other homage someone made to pictochat called Froggiechat. Would recommend that for anyone who would wanna use something like this on android (if it's still around).
As a massive Mario enjoyer and memorabilia collector I don't quite get the appeal of these coffee table picture books. So it's just a bunch of pictures of collectibles? I doubt anyone visiting my home would flip through this and like to know more about the Super Mario Tag Heuer smartwatch, or the Mario pringles can. But to each their own!
loving that the characters look more like their 2d art/retro counter parts! that's so exciting! luigi and donkey kong stood out immediately. they look fantastic!
DLSS (and any other form of AI upscaling) is such a terrible cop out. Most games i play on PC these days barely run well unless i have DLSS on and it looks horrid most of the time. Marvel Rivals, which released very recently, can barely hold a steady 60, and it looks like any other hero shooter from 2016. Whatever happened to proper optimization? Really hope Nintendo isn't going to rely on this trite.
@VoidofLight If you check the website of Catly it's even more blatant. scrolling through the "fashion" pages there's a bunch of AI generated images of cats that are ever so slightly touched up. if you look at the outfits they're wearing, or the positioning of their pupils it's immediately evident it's all AI. don't know how this slipped through at the game awards. needless to say it's a grift and this game won't ever properly release. probably get a shoddy early access build at most LMFAO
Played this when it came out. Impressive they got it to run on the switch! This game was a bit of a bummer for me personally though. It's cute, but that charm wore off real quick once i realized the game never gets more interesting mechanically/story wise.
One of my favorite releases of this year. always owned TTYD on my gamecube when i was younger but never managed to beat it back in the day. The remake finally got me to revisit it and see what happens past chapter 5 after all these years
@Edu23XWiiU those are two completely different looking people you just named. I'd let Jessica Andrade beat the ***** out of me in the cage, though. Seems like A perfect fit for a game where you fight people to death. but, what would you want Janet Cage to look like? call me a stupid dumb idiot, but i would actually imagine that A literal MMA fighter to be the perfect reference for someone like Janet cage. so I don't get your point.
Can't help but love the guy for making a bunch of their games accessible to other platforms. Their many acquisitions scare me but i sure do like sea of thieves!
Im a pretty big mario vs donkey kong enjoyer, so i'm particularly cheesed about that announcement. The peach game and luigi's mansion remaster looks neat, and i definitely wasn't expecting paper mario TTYD. that's just super cool to see.
I am a smidge disappointed about the f-zero reveal though. Call me a jaded pasty nerd, but seeing as the switch is nearing it's end of support i just don't see this game being around all that long. I was hoping for a proper F-Zero reveal considering it's been about 20 years since GX came out. Just a bit of a bummer, But it is what it is.
Seems like all this company makes is licensed shovelware that plays the exact same. The jumanji game they released recently barely looks any different gameplay wise.
This is my most anticipated game of the year for sure. The new art style looks fantastic, the overworld looks beautiful, and the power ups all look super unique and fun. I can't wait to get my hands on this!
Really sad but not unexpected. The saints row reboot was godawful and i couldn't see them coming back from that. The real disappointment from all this is that this also means the saints row 2 patch they were working on will probably never come out. But again, volition going down the ***** was inevitable.
Played Payday 2 while impatiently waiting for the third game, and played a lot of minecraft. I want to pick up pikmin 4 but so many good pc games have been coming out lately!
Huge bummer but it is what it is. Very curious to see what he'll be doing going forward! Was lucky enough to meet him in person once and he's an absolute gem of a human being.
