as a Nintendo fan, it seems heretical to say I don't care about Mario. But I don't care about Mario. So I'd prefer to see them focus on other less-used IPs
its hard for me to give a game a 'perfect' score. Very few games in my life would qualify. Examples are Mass Effect, KoTOR, The Witcher 3. and Persona 4.
DK is a very strong game. Its very fun. But I don't see how I could put it on that same pedestal
And I didn't say Capt Falcon was playable in MK8. I said I would prefer that he's included. (though Big Blue was great in MK8 and I often used his Amiibo costume with his kart.)
Yes, I also remember the penguin in Mario 64. Doesn't mean he's a compelling roster inclusion, though he's at least better than 20 babies and multi-colored metal colors for the main characters
Why don't Walmart, Target, and Best Buy have functional websites in the year of our lord 2025?
And the Nintendo invite system not making sense isn't helpful. I have had a Switch since launch along with NSO. No invite to buy. And even if I did, no guarantee it arrives at launch anyway
Then I stopped buying most at $70 pricing and have been waiting for sales first.
At $80? I will buy next to no games at launch. My salary certainly hasn't risen for me to pay so much more
I currently use Game Pass because there are now new releases I want to play on a steady basis. Indy, Avowed, Oblivion, Expedition 33, and Doom (soon) have all made the sub price worth it

I swear, next time they add some crap NES game music instead, I'm going to trash the app from my phone

Freaking moron
Re: Feature: Nintendo Partner Direct Predictions - What Do You Expect To See?

Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
@HalBailman MP4 was just rated in Korea. So its nearly done
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
I'm here for Persona 3 and Metaphor. Make it happen Atlus
Re: NIS America: Trails Beyond The Horizon Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release Is "Most Beneficial Option" For Fans
I actively avoid game key cards. So, I will not be buying this.
Maybe I'll get it on deep discount digitally at some point
Re: Review: Pokémon Friends (Switch) – Pretty Plushies, Puzzling Pricing
this is just yet another low-effort cash grab from Game Freak
Re: Review: Tales Of The Shire: A The Lord Of The Rings Game (Switch) - The Hobbit, Or "There It Crashed Again"
Well thats bad.
I already thought the game was ugly AF. But this is worse than I imagined
Re: Ori Dev Asks Nintendo Fans If They Want 'No Rest For The Wicked' On Switch 2
@Axecon Xbox doesn't own Moon. They only published Ori. So they're safe there
Re: Ori Dev Asks Nintendo Fans If They Want 'No Rest For The Wicked' On Switch 2
never heard of it before now. Looks cool

Re: Pokémon Is Teasing Something Ahead Of Next Week's Showcase
@AverageGamer Legends Arceus also released early in the year too
Re: Pokémon Is Teasing Something Ahead Of Next Week's Showcase
I would take a Pokemon rhythm game.
But this is probably some crap that Game Freak isn't investing into making the games better
Re: Nintendo Has Seemingly Taken Further Steps To Combat 'eSlop' On Switch 2
the simple solution is for a human to look at each game submitted for 5-10 min before allowing it onto the eshop.
Re: Square Enix Rules Out Switch 2 "Upgrade Path" For Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake
then I won't buy it, just like with Raidou recently. I want the physical copy, not a game key card. But I dont want a lesser last gen version
Re: Nintendo Highlights Multiple Switch 2 And Switch Games Launching In July 2025
@nathatruc I ended up not buying Raidou because of game key cart nonsense.
you have no issues with the NS1 version? My concern is that it wouldnt look or run as well on NS2
Re: Nintendo Highlights Multiple Switch 2 And Switch Games Launching In July 2025
I might get DK, but the $70 price is a major turn-off.
Re: Microsoft Announces Second Wave Of Layoffs, Over 9,000 Jobs Affected
the Activision buy was such a fail.
Re: Drag X Drive Switch 2 eShop Price Revealed
$20 is still too steep for me based on what I've seen.
Re: Where Are Mario Kart World's Non-Mario Racers? Producer Kosuke Yabuki Has The Answer
@Maxz *Isabelle. Autocorrect is a thing

Re: Where Are Mario Kart World's Non-Mario Racers? Producer Kosuke Yabuki Has The Answer
Gotta say, I prefer Capt Falcon, Link and Isabella to Generic Dolphin, Generic Bee, and Generic Penguin
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Its nice to see Pauline brought back into the greater Mario/DK roster of characters, from this to Odyssey, to MK World
Re: Review: RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery Of The Soulless Army (Switch 2) - A Unique, Action-RPG Take On The SMT Formula
I cancelled this because its a game key card. I will buy a real physical version when offered
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Hasn't Forgotten About Diddy & Dixie Kong After All
Am I the only one that thought Diddy and Dixie were siblings?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Kart World?
Solid 8/10 now. If there is continued support with new maps and characters, I could see its score rise
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Switch 2's Screen? Because Some People Certainly Aren't
its a clear downgrade for cost-cutting. The lack of OLED and the battery are really the only negatives for me
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Playable On Switch 2 Despite 'Incompatibility' And It Runs Far Better
there seems to be an odd amount of games that I've found on the eshop listed as incompatible.
This seems strange to me. I dont recall encountering this issue with PS4 games on PS5 or Xbox One games on Xbox Series
Re: Capcom Is Recording Switch 2 Game-Key Card Purchases As "Digital Sales"
I'm recording Game-Key Cards as No-Buys, myself
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Scores Switch 2 Release Window
should include both games if they are going to charge full price
Re: Nintendo Music Lands The Perfect Feature For Those Who Listen Before Bed
Too bad it's still missing all Xenoblade music
Re: Street Fighter 6 Somehow Combines Game-Key Card And Code-In-A-Box On Switch 2
is Capcom actively trying to mess with us?
Re: Video: First Look At 'Wild Hearts S' Four-Player Gameplay On Switch 2
didn't this game bomb? No one ever talks about it
Re: Talking Point: The Switch 2 Pre-Order Situation Sucks, But Can Nintendo Do Anything About It?
its the retailers that are a problem.
Why don't Walmart, Target, and Best Buy have functional websites in the year of our lord 2025?

Re: Nintendo Music Adds More Than 100 Pokémon Songs In The Latest Update
still nooooo Xenoblade!?
Re: Back Page: Mario Kart World's Roster Is Full Of Deep Cuts, So Where Are These Guys?
DIddy and the other Kongs should be included. Not just DK
Re: Switch 2 Will Boast An Impressive Number Of Profile Icons At Launch
can we not just carry over what we have? I want my custom icons
Re: Talking Point: With Prices Rising, Are Your Gaming Habits Changing?
I used to buy many $60 games at launch.
Then I stopped buying most at $70 pricing and have been waiting for sales first.
At $80? I will buy next to no games at launch. My salary certainly hasn't risen for me to pay so much more
I currently use Game Pass because there are now new releases I want to play on a steady basis. Indy, Avowed, Oblivion, Expedition 33, and Doom (soon) have all made the sub price worth it
Re: Shuhei Yoshida On Higher Switch 2 Game Prices: "It Was Going To Happen Eventually"
sure, prices rise over time.
But you know what hasn't risen? Our salaries. So...how are we supposed to afford these prices?
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?
I buy physical copies for preservation. To make sure my collection still works in 20 years.
If a cart requires a download to access the game, its entirely useless to me
Re: Opinion: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Best Gameplay Feature Is Straight Out Of Mario's Playbook
I really hope this comes to Switch 2
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?
We are so long overdue for a new Fire Emblem that it hurts me.
Engage was not good and was super disappointing after Three Houses was Awakening-level great for me.
I will also once again ask for a new (or remaster of) Golden Sun
Re: Limited Run's Atlus Switch 2 Collector's Edition Is A 'Game-Key Card' Release
....what?
Isn't Limited Run's WHOLE THING to produce physical games?
What's the point then?
Re: Beloved Fantasy City Builder 'Against The Storm' Arrives On Switch This June
city builder? Yes please.
roguelike? Ehhhhh
Re: Poll: Which Switch 2 Accessories Are You Picking Up At Launch?
I'm gonna have to get a memory card. But the accessories are just too expensive
Re: Nintendo Confirms Upgrade Pack Price For More 'Switch 2 Edition' Titles
upgrades should be free, this feels like a punishment.
