I love how this doesn't fit at all. Hope there is great gameplay behind the premise

What the... The is the exact same game you can get for free on a phone, only with a fresh coat of paint. Pass.

I would love to see some kind of story mode in mario kart, like CTR and Diddy Kong, but I bet you Nintendo is looking at sales figures and thinking " we don't need story mode for this to sell".

@Yorumi Ah, okay, that makes much more sense. Thank you.
I do think NFTs will come to video games more and more. There was much fuss when microtransactions were introduced, everyone was against it, and yet a good chunk of people are paying in microtransactions, and they will pay with NFTs as well.
Is it baffling anyone would buy NFT? Yes, but the fact is, it is a growing business, so it makes sense for video games to dip their toe in that pond.
Do I agree with them introducing NFTs in video games? Hell no.

@Einherjar Wait, so, you will have to buy NFTs to access things like additional content in the game? I thought NFTs are just a code for a digital picture. I don't really get the feeling of missing out if NFT is, in fact, a code for a digital picture... or am I missing something?

@link3710 Form of microtransaction? How? I thought microtransactions are used for buying additional content and passes for games, not to gain a code for a picture.

@GannonBanned I'm sure they have enough men to handle both the development of video games and NFT side of the job. I like the way you used the Mona Lisa example, and it is how I understood what NFT is about, but I still don't see how it affect actual video games.

@Yorumi So NFT is a form of microtransaction?

Thank you all for jumping in and explaining some things to me. However, I might be even more confused when all is said and done.
From what I read in the comments, NFT is a form of microtransaction.
But, what I understood from the article, they will sell NFT of videos, photos and sounds.
I might be tooootally wrong on this, but I haven't seen anywhere that they plan to implement NFT as a way to pay for additional content in video games. Therefore, it doesn't affect the game, nor does that affect the gamers that are, obviously, not willing to pay for NFT, so it is not money out of their pocket.

Basically, I am told NFT is form of microtransaction, but from my of research, it is a token/code to make you "the owner" of a visual medium on the internet (even though anyone can copy it). I doubt the visuals matter that much, it is more about the code, but that is a whole other thing that I don't have enough knowledge to go into.

Can someone explain to me what is the negative impact of video game publishers introducing their NFTs?
How does it affect the actual games?
All I see is complaining from people that they are all money-grabbers, yet I dont see anyone here interested in making a NFT purchase. So, how does it affect us, gamers, exactly?
I am not trying to act as a smart ass here, I am really asking how does this affect both games and gamers?
My knowledge of NFTs is minimal, so if someone could give me an explanation, I would greatly appreciate it

Hisuian evolution? The hell??
Eh, guess that is one way to sell more Pokemon cards.

Everyone is a critic and nobody wants to get criticized.
When did people forget to ignore idiots and concentrate on constructive criticism?
Dangerous times ahead.

In translation, "We made Mario games, we want to make more."

@Zuljaras Same

@wuntyme8 Still better than a previous game. I am still baffled that they only offered 4 boards in the last game.
But I am positive there will be one secret board if not two.

This is purely for the purpose of selling the same game under a different name, so that naive kids can buy it and brag to others about how it is better than FIFA.
No decision of EA, or any big company, is made without considering how will it benefit them financially.

No matter how many times they say characters that haven't originated from video games won't be in smash, they always put Goku somewhere on the list.
It will probably be someone no one cared about but will say "actually, that is not bad" once they see the gameplay.

Grow Wario Grow, from the first game, where you have to get the mushroom before Mario in Mario Land setting, has to be my favorite for visuals alone.

@justin233 I was... but then I saw the trailer for the newest one. Seems like they are putting an actual effort into this one, even though it is a glorified remake/remix.

It's gonna be a Rabbid

Breakout, Mario Bros., and a total rip-off of Wario Land 4 identity.

Game and Wario is always a winner when friends gather around the TV, so I don't see it will be any different with this new entry in the franchise. It is a buy for me

Played the original and 3D version, both were great, but this looks like a reskin, and not a good one. I would stick with the original with much better artwork.

Do I agree with Nintendo when it comes to fan-made content? No.
Do I understand them? Absolutely
We are fully aware of Nintendo's practices, so putting so much effort into a game that will be removed sooner rather than later makes zero to no sense to me.
Keep the gameplay, do a reskin, call it Prime 2D.
Nintendo has no copyright over Metroidvania genre, only over characters and images.
It is like me telling you that I will smack you right in the face if you take one step towards me, and you do it anyway. You will get slapped. Terrible analogy, but you get the point.
I love fan made games, but more than that I love great gameplay, and it is a shame to see such project being left in the dust only because they used copyrighted characters.

@theabstractart While I don't agree with @Old-Red, the purpose of a demo is for you to try and decide if it is for you or not.
Old-Red didn't like it, probably won't spend money on it, and I believe that is the job well done for the demo.
I would hate to waste money on a game that I won't enjoy playing.

This was... awkward xD

@Desrever
Well, he did play Guile at one point

"Now, plenty of Japanese anime characters have shorts and spiky hair, so we've no doubt that this is just a coincidence."
And there is your answer.

Eh, it looks fine. Makes me wanna play Smurfs on PSone. Now THAT is an underrated gem.

Looks quite charmless.
And I have to agree with @Lord, box art is a total miss.
I do like a good platformer, so here is hoping this gets good reviews, because nothing else will make me play this.

Save your money for eventual Switch Pro, or buy more games. This is a cash grab for people who are either impatient to wait for a more significant upgrade, or for people who haven't buy Switch yet.

I love it how people trash Kardashians for getting famous the way they did, but a guy collecting Pokemon cards is considered the king in the community xD
Not to defend Kardashians, just to be clear.
How will people now live when they lost respect for him??
Just another day in clown world

There was a Netflix app on Wii U??

@SmaggTheSmug I really hope Scorpion is next, but I don't see Nintendo including such a violent franchise in the Smash roster. Then again, Bayonetta ain't a happy-go-lucky game either, so who knows.

I will be happy with any new character, as long as it is not from Fire Emblem xD

I don't see this being accidental.

@sleepinglion It is the last game to be unlocked so it might take some time to get there, but it is worth it

@sleepinglion Funny thing is they actual ported the original G&W Zelda with Game & Watch Gallery 4, a GBA game that only had one screen, and they made it work. It is a pity they didn't include it in this newest release.

I dont see how this evokes old 3D platformers.
Looks kinda bland to be honest.

@SwitchVogel Ah, I see. Missed those in the tab.

Considering the comparisons with XCOM, I was surprised there is not a single image from the game that presents combat, in this article.

Unless there are first-party exclusive games for this new iteration of Switch, I see no reason to upgrade.

@BloodNinja Hahaha, nailed it xD

Too bad nobody will be playing this after a year or so

Oh finally! It's been almost a whole three days without a metroidvania announcement.

@res1080p Haha, good one xD

@nessisonett Hahaha xD Imagine if pokemon were printed on that toilet paper

There is an easy solution to all of this... stop buying Pokemon cards. And if you are desperate enough to pay 10x the normal price, maybe you don't deserve to handle finances in your household.

@TDRsuperstar2 Amen to that

1) Into the Breach
2) Verminest
3) Ignition (PC top-down racing game)
4) Gorogoa
5) Tetris DS
Of course there are better game, but these 5 left a great impact on me and I dont see that list changing anytime soon.

"We haven't had a mainline Sonic game since 2017. Just sayin'."
So go play Sonic Mania.

Okay, seriously, who is playing these games?
I had high hopes for this service when it started, but this is laughable.

As someone who played Gameboy games on a TV... there is a reason those games were made for a console with a small screen.

And I'll be interested in buying, maybe, one
