The level design at 00:57-1:00 in the trailer is directly from Tick Tock Clock in Mario 64. It is 1:1. I hope it's supposed to be an obvious homage, and not an attempt to copy pre-existing games.

Wouldn't there be some kind of loophole that the evidence can't be used in court as it was illegally obtained? (the data breach?)
Maybe I just watch too many law dramas.
Either way, Capcom have some explaining to do.

Just sell them as shells! Much cheaper, no functionality loss.

I can't imagine them delaying a game that's still seven months away when they only announced a solid date a week ago.
I imagine it might be a precautionary thing should the Switch port be delayed, but it's not an outright delay.

@andykara2003 Tracks are vastly more fun than MK64's mostly flat and empty tracks, and there are 20 of them instead of 16. Controls aren't as slidey as MK64. CTR introduced the "jump at the edge of the ramp to get a speed boost when you land" thing that later MK games would incorporate. There's a meter that appears when you drift that tells you when to release it for the best speed boost. Items riff off of MK but have their own nuances, like a proximity meter if an item is coming for you, and powered up items when you've maxed out your fruit (coins). Overall the game has a lot of character to it, which MK64 always lacked. And then there's the aforementioned Adventure mode.
I'd rank this and Diddy Kong Racing over MK64 any day.

Why need this when the Switch comes with two Joy-Con???

Looks like a $59 method of installing hakchi2.

If only there were a way that it wouldn't have to be powered directly by the console.
Oh.

"It would be great to see other countries eventually adopt this rule, as right now, there are plenty of stores worldwide that make pre-orders for video games available as soon as announcements are made."
How about no. No. No no no no no. No.
I'll pre-order as early as I like, thank you very much.
God forbid someone decides they want a game before they know a release date.

The practise may be illegal, but buying something online is never something you should be indecisive about.

>Switch is Nintendo's first real opportunity to release N64 games for handheld play.
>Nintendo Switch Online replaces VC.
>Currently it's only set to provide NES games.
>Other systems will likely take years because, come on, it's Nintendo.
>Who even knows if we'll even be able to play these games offline.
>Just like that, people dangle just how easy it would be to get N64 games playing on Switch.
>SM64 mods at that, which are known to be particularly fickle to get working correctly.
I understand entirely why people are turning to homebrew right now.

"People sarcastically complain about a cover not having interior artwork"
What have we devolved into??

inb4 Splatoon Legends actually happens
Seems like a Nintendo thing to do these days

Patent sharks gonna be patent sharks.
Still, guess that's why Nintendo files a lot of patents now.

I use the USB-C cable that came with the Pro Controller to charge my Switch when undocked, with a HTC USB wall plug.

Ever since 5.0 it won't charge for more than ten minutes before constantly disconnecting and reconnecting.

Before that I used the USB-C cable that came with one of the Hori licensed wired controllers. After 5.0, using that one straight up crashes my console while it sleeps and doesn't charge at all when awake.

5.0 is the problem here, not the chargers or docks.

@datamonkey Not to mention the people who are actually backing this.

Good news guys, I just got permission from Nintendo to release Mother 3 on the eShop.

It's a publicly released ROM hack that's available for FREE.

These guys are nothing but scammers who're trying to profit from other peoples' hard work and in return they'll put a free ROM hack on a repro cartridge for you.
SCAM.

@RadioShadow In Japan, yes. But Western markets don't have that option, yet. It's only in the console bundle.

Why do I have to buy a second switch just to own Mario-Red Joycon?

What kind of monopoly do Nintendo think they have? Seriously considering an order from ColorWare, would be cheaper.

Edit: I just remembered play-asia exists.

Weak. I'm not buying essentially the same game for a minute amount of new Pokes.

As much as it pains me to say, my live dex will now forever be incomplete.

BotW is great, and I want to see more Zelda games like it, but I also hope that this doesn't eradicate the Ocarina formula.

The LttP, top-down style has managed to stick around by way of the handheld games, but as far as consoles go, I can't see the BotW formula and the Ocarina formula sharing the spotlight, unfortunately.

One thing they've definitely improved upon is what people want from the flagship 3D Mario game, that's for sure.

"we don't advocate the use of unofficial ROMs for the system" but anyway here's direct links to everything you need.

Bundle it with the Switch version and you've got a deal.
But nope.

If this game doesn't have the Hawaiian shirt/sunglasses combo from Sunshine...

Super Mario 64 - 120 Stars
Super Mario Sunshine - 120 Shine Sprites
Super Mario Galaxy - 121 Stars + 121 Stars as Luigi
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 122 Stars + 120 Green Stars
120 + 120 + 242 + 242 = 724

Try mathing harder.

As long as I can restore to factory defaults at any time like I can with my NES Classic, I'll do what I please with my SNES Classic.

Maybe I'll do it just for the sake of putting European boxarts on my European SNES Mini.

They need to stop calling these "World" Championships if they're US only. -_-

This product will be like the Vitality Sensor in more ways than one.

I reckon they did this on purpose to get attention.

Lives aren't relevant anymore anyway, Nintendo made the right call.

The only setback to getting a Game Over in modern video games is to have to reload your save, and possibly lose your checkpoint. That's nothing. Glad they trimmed the fat.

The third one - Miracle Mask - time travel.
I think something broke.

At this rate, Ubisoft will abandon the Wii U before they abandon the Wii.

Remember when people were wondering if the Wii U would get GameCube VC? Now here we are, wondering if the Switch is even getting anything other than streamed NES games...

If this was Nintendo's big 'surprise' for E3, it was ruined long before this leak. I'd be more disappointed that this is what Nintendo thinks will floor us.

I require a full set of instructions and a list of required tools/resources.

People predicting Mario Kart 9 here- and I predict it too, but on the basis of this logic:
Mario Kart 64 (Console) - 1998
Mario Kart Super Circuit (Handheld) - 2001
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (Console) - 2003
Mario Kart DS (Handheld) - 2005
Mario Kart Wii (Console) - 2008
Mario Kart 7 (Handheld) - 2011
Mario Kart 8 (Console) - 2014
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Hybrid) - 2017

Notice the pattern? The series alternates from handheld to console in the past, and with the exception of Double Dash, come in three year intervals. When it comes to the Switch it was a bit of a wildcard, but I can see the reasoning. They typically make one Mario Kart per console, but as Nintendo's next generation merges the handheld and console platforms they need a new strategy for consistent Mario Kart releases.

I imagine that the series will continue its three year intervals, and depending on whether Nintendo sticks to the Hybrid concept in the future, there'll be one 'Deluxe' version of the previous game with added features at the beginning of the console, and a brand new game some time later.

So if there's anyone holding their breath for a new Mario Kart game- maybe 2020's a bit too far off!

It's moments like these I wonder...
...why didn't they give at least an option to play N64 Rainbow Road in 3 laps?

I love the Layton series, but as it stood as a 'complete' series, it had its' loose ends, which is why I'm glad they're continuing the story in a sense.

Definitely looks sharper, and also seems like it might run a pinch faster? In the Mount Wario stage, Switch Bowser was outpacing Wii U Bowser even though he got trashed a lot.

@RedMageLanakyn The USA really doesn't know how good their game/console pricing is.

Pachter is always wrong. I find this very concerning for the Switch.

Wait until Nintendo comes out with a PR statement, and then PETA retracts their claims as if they were joking this whole time.

This is Mario Kills Tanooki all over again.

About time! I remember shortly after the first movie was released and they were talking about bringing Mario in for the sequel. Seeing Mario on the big screen in CGI formis the only way it should have ever been conceived in the first place.

One big hope I have if Mario does make it in- I really hope Disney doesn't pull the "we all thought he was a good guy but then half way through it becomes apparent that he's a jackass" move, because that's something I can imagine Disney doing.

For a moment I thought they added some T-shirts to MyNintendo but nope. More discounts. -_-

@lemonjellydude The mod that adds more games can be wiped from the system completely, so if you're concerned about resell value, don't be.

At least Kimishima's Nintendo doesn't have the same weakness and timidness that Iwata's Nintendo had, especially in regard to the consumer criticism- but lightning doesn't strike the same spot twice.

I guess it's to get you to actually play the game, instead of heading straight to Ganon with a wooden stick.

@MarioFanatic64 On the plus side, it does mean we can save battery life when we aren't using it.
