Imagine a Super Mario game that Shigeru Miyamoto had nothing to do with, and in the credits you see "Based on characters created by employee."
I mean, it is not like they have to credit every specific person, just add the name of the studio in the credits.

It brings back the memories of Donkey Kong 94 for Gameboy and DK Jr. from Super Mario Kart on SNES, and I see that as an absolute plus.
But it is the design of other characters as well that really trigger my nostalgia button.
Mario looks very much like his design in Mario Kart 64.

Ah, Nintendo shouldn't really care. It is all about the software anyway. That is what sells the console, not a console itself.

You have to wonder how the developers explain to themselves that this is not a rip-off, or how do they convince themselves to work on a copy of a well known franchise instead of creating something original.

If this is indeed what Switch 2 will be, then Nintendo hasn't learned a single thing from their mistake when they released Wii U.

Of course he is coming back for a fourth one.
The third one proved that a Sonic movie without Jim Carrey is kinda pointless.
They really hit the nail on the head with casting him as Eggman, and I bet you the next one won't be nearly as well received if he won't be in it.

@KBuckley27 That's a very good point

Tetris DS is in my top 10 of all time. I adore that game.

random indeed

I have doubts it will be just an upgraded Switch, unless Nintendo really didn't learn anything from the Wii U failure.

@SalvorHardin Couldn't disagree more.

I've been thinking about this recently and it makes sense.
Robobot is a great Kirby title, however, I would prefer Epic Yarn.

1. Tetris DS
2. Rhythm Heaven
3. Elite Beat Agents
4. Metroid Prime Pinball
5. Bowser's Inside Story

@LimitedPower They wouldn't get to part 2, let alone part 3 to even try a different design on Shadow.
It is stunning how much boost the first movie got by simply being faithful to the original design of the character.

So it is just another LEGO game. Didn't they change the formula significantly with the latest LEGO Star Wars? Why go back to the old formula?

I got the game recently and it wasn't my cup of tea. The Castlevania coating doesn't really entice me to give it another shot.

I think they will just rerelease Smash Bros Ultimate for Switch successor, with couple more characters. I mean, what is there to add that can significantly change the formula?
He is working on a new IP, and my bet is on something in a relax/puzzle genre that people will appreciate but ultimately won't play because it won't be based on an existing IP.

People will start hashtag trends over everything.

@babybilly That makes sense. However, if it is so common, why are there articles about it?
There is like this artificial aura of mystery around the whole thing.

They are keeping this a secret like Marvel keeps after-credits scene a secret.
What was the point of this?

"there's not quite enough variety in what we've seen between each one beyond these colour and model swaps"
This is exactly what I was afraid of. Every footage released so far looked like changes between different islands would just be surface level.

People upset over......this?
Good lord...

Exactly what I expected. It was clear from the trailers this one is gonna be a dud.

@WaffleRaptor01 Oof... what a bad take

I expected more from this when it was announced.
It would seem that a casual game of Quiplash is more NSFW than this whole collection.

Take a look inside. It's a code in the box.

Got this day one. Loved the original, beat it 100%, and judging by first few levels I went through, this is definitely couple of steps up from the first one.
For those who like platforming genre, this is a must.

My sweet spot is between 7 and 8 hours.

Now do the same analysis with Shovel Knight.
I mean, of course they took a lot of inspiration from games that work well.
It is not about the parts, it is about the whole.

Looks like any other Funko Pop, not sure what is scary about this one

Not surprised. All their games I played I liked. Tried the demo, and it was very charming.

They can't really be surprised by this. I am not saying the game is bad, I haven't played it, but considering what they released before, this new one was major departure from the franchise, which is not a bad thing, but expectations should be checked.

It served it's purpose

I bet there will be additional challenges or levels after you beat the main game.
Kirby's games are super easy... unless you go for 100%.
Super Mario games are on the easy side.... but good luck getting 100%.
I bet same will apply here, but even if it doesn't, I have no problem with the game being easy.
I need a breather after a session of Cuphead.

King of Swing is criminally underrated. It is in my top 10 GBA games, easy.

They can delay it to 2026.
I have tons of games waiting to be finished. No rush with Switch 2.

A friend of mine returned my GBA SP recently, and he gave me Fire Red as well.
I turned the game on a minute ago, just to check if it works, turned it off, went to NintendoLife and I see this article.
Coincidence?? Yes.

Ultimate is the best, but for me it has to be Brawl.
The level of excitement for Brawl was off the charts and hasn't been replicated since, and it delivered

@somnambulance Same boat

Comix Zone, pretty please

Good. I don't care what he did and if he did it, I am against adding likeness of youtubers (or famous people in general) in video games. It kills the immersion completely for me.

Comix Zone, please

There is still hope for new Comix Zone

I liked it , didn't love it.
Reason for that is probably because I played Mario & Luigi series before ever getting to play Super Mario RPG.
Everything RPG introduced, M&L perfected.

Isn't this the case with any job?

@JR150 I never uderstood that logic. Not saying it is wrong, but I don't understand it.
If there is potential that something will get leaked, then why create anything at all?
Sooner or later, pre-release or post-release, things get online.

There are some great ideas in the game, but implementation was poorly done.
It is servicable kart racer, but when compared to Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing, it feels worse than it actually is.

DK Mountain, but that Bowser Castle is close second.

It is too bad for WarioWare. I love the franchise and I hope Nintendo won't come to conclusion that they should pass on another sequel. Just, maybe, ditch the motion controls next time. I miss the days of GBA simplicity, and I bet that would work better on Switch.

I don't understand the argument that it is a bad thing the game is Apple exclusive.
That is like saying it is bad for Super Mario game to be exclusive to Switch.
