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

Re: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?
MK:W went by quickly for me. The open world was bland an uninteresting, and online is too limited. Super disappointing - MK8 was better.
DK was fantastic. A top tier 1st party release.
Cyberpunk is a fantastic port and I'm loving it portable.
But thats it. I have just 3 Switch 2 games and I see nothing else to buy on the horizon thats an exclusive. Why do I own this again, Nintendo?
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
@Ashfordwasp not really. the main character only exists in the game, though of course you'll miss the references to stuff from other Star Wars media
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
Glad to hear it runs well.
Wish we could get ports of the Jedi games from EA
Re: Review: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion (Switch 2) - Decently Deep Mech Combat, But Clunky In Parts
glad I sat on this. $70 is crazy for a mediocre experience
Re: Nintendo Music Adds Fire Emblem: Awakening Soundtrack In New Update
FINALLY good music added for once.
But where is Xenoblade!?
Re: Publisher Acclaim Is Set To Host Its Own Showcase Next Month
What IPs does Acclaim even have of note?
Re: Opinion: We Need To Talk About X Games
If the letter X is in a title, I will pronounce it as a letter X.
If you want a different word, like 'cross', then use 'cross'!
Re: Where To Pre-Order Kirby Air Riders For Nintendo Switch 2
I hope Costco offers a discount like with DK. I won't spend $70 on a game
Re: Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter Switch 2 Edition 'Upgrade Pack' Confirmed
demo seems to be MIA
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Will Launch On Switch 2 In 2026
fantastic game. May buy it here, since I no longer sub to Game Pass
Re: Kirby Air Riders Zooms Onto Switch 2 This November
looks fun, but $70 is a very hard sell for me with any game. And this isn't doing it
Re: Preview: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion - A Smart Evolution For Mech Fans, And A Good Early Test For Switch 2
this sounds really cool, and I struggled to get into the original.
$70 is really steep. And I usually have a policy not to pay that much for any game
Re: Shin'en Announces 'The Touryst: Deluxe', Exclusive To Switch 2
it just looks like Minecraft to me. They need more unique visuals
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week
I'm here for Fire Emblem and Pokemon. This ain't it
Re: Rift Of The NecroDancer's Next Indie Crossover DLC Arrives On Switch Soon
@ImpromptuR nah this isn't a "youngster" thing.
I love handhelds so that I can have a game available to play while doing something else (like having something on the TV)
Re: Rift Of The NecroDancer's Next Indie Crossover DLC Arrives On Switch Soon
never heard of Everhood
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
Nope. the forced use of the mouse controls kill it for me. Along with it being multiplayer focused
Re: Talking Point: Where On Earth Are The Switch 2 Soundtracks On Nintendo Music?
Im still waiting on Xenoblade and more Fire Emblem.
I swear, next time they add some crap NES game music instead, I'm going to trash the app from my phone
Re: Tactical RPG 'Demonschool' Finally Gets A Launch Date, And It's Real Soon
nice! I am looking forward to this
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Thursday 7th August 2025
Hades 2?
I can't think of another Indie I care much about at the moment
Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo For Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary
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
Re: Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US
gotta love Trump tariffs.
Freaking moron
Re: Feature: Nintendo Partner Direct Predictions - What Do You Expect To See?
god, I'd love to get Marvel Midnight Suns on a portable. I'd happily replay it
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: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Bananza?
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
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
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
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
