I remember having it and didn't like it as much as Mario 64. I remember certain levels felt more frustrating than fun
I foolishly sold it along with my game cube a long long time ago. Its only now looking back that I regret selling it.
Probably due to the fact that it's just about the only Mario game you can't play unless you happen to have an old game cube knocking around (or a mk1 Wii of course but you'd still need a gamecube controller)
I really hope that I'd does get a remake as I'd definitely love to try it again
As good as burnout paradise is is refuse to pay full price for something I can get for half the price (or probably less if I take the time to look) on other consoles.
I hope it sells well and will be happy to be proved wrong but I think they've left it too late. It should have launched at the same time as it did on ps and xbox
I decided to play through galaxy 1 & 2 again earlier this year before the remaster rumours. Hadn't played them for over 5 years and I'd forgotten just how good they were.
If the rumours do turn out to be true part of me wishes I'd held off playing them again as I would have waited for the new shinier version
I used to pay monthly and got a year's free subscription with Super Mario Maker 2.
I believe it expires in September.
As it stands I've turned the auto renewal off.
The nes and snes games were a nice little bonus at first but an awful lot of the games haven't aged very well so Nintendo definitely need to up their game a bit if they want my money again for next year
Obviously this is quite likely an April Fools wind up but for the record in no way would the SNES version of Mario is missing be classed as a hidden gem haha
Great game but I worry they may have left it too late.
If you only own a Switch then fair enough but the vast majority of people nowadays own one at least 2 consoles and when you can pick it up on others for next to nothing will people be willing to pay top wack for portability
That's my one small criticism of the Switch in that I don't really have anywhere suitable to stand it. (probably more down to my own set up in fairness)
I can't stand it in front of the TV because it's too big and obscures my view of the TV.
It wont fit on the shelf underneath along side my PS4 and Wii U because it's too tall. I've ended up having to stand it out of view just slightly behind the TV.
Having ports on the back of the dock only really adds to my problems haha
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 - 4 were some of the finest games ever made in my opinion. Still very playable today albeit looking a bit rough around the edges by todays standards. Just thinking about them give me very fond memories of my teenage years.
If a new games meets the standards of those games then I'd be all for it.
I'm not sure why but I didn't really care much for the later more open world games such as Under Ground, American Wasteland and Proving ground. I think I preferred the 2 minute time limit with a set of goals to complete style games
Remember all the uproar when we were told it wouldn't have Netflix or a Web browser?
Well It still hasnt and seems to have done just fine without them.
Would it be nice if it had them? Sure but for me the Switch was and always will be about playing games.
Thankfully Nintendo knocked it out of the the park this time with a clear message about what the console was (I'm talkin about you Wii U) and a good solid line up of must have games within the first 12 months and beyond
I bought Mario & Sonic for my daughter at Christmas but we've had that much fun playing Luigi's Mansion 3 that I've not even took it out of the protective wrapping yet

Re: "Strong Possibility" Of A Nintendo Broadcast Next Week, Suggests Industry Insider
God I hope so, its been far too long since we had a real one.
2 things in the world I'm desperate to know about
1. Is the 35th anniversary mario 3d remaster a real thing
2. A price and release date for the ps5

Re: UK Retailers Guilty Of Inflating Nintendo Switch Prices As Stock Remains Elusive
Supply and demand.
At the end of the day its only worth what someone is willing to pay
Re: Poll: Which Remastered Mario Games Would You Pick For A 'Super Mario All-Stars 2'?
64, Sunshine and Galaxy for me.
Sunshine is a must because its the only game that's impossible to play without an actual game cube (or an original Wii)
Super Mario 3D world is probably too new to qualify and would probably get a stand alone deluxe release as the article suggests

Re: Dixie Kong Celebrates Her Mario Kart Tour Debut With A Special Timeline Video
Disappointed to see its Mario Kart Tour. I very briefly got excited to think it could be a new Diddy Kong Racing or possibly even Mario Kart 9 😔
Re: Feature: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 10 Years Of Nintendo's Straightest, Greatest Sequel
@BlubberWhale
Either way you won't be disappointed. It's arguably one of the finest games ever made.
I remember when it first released I was away on holiday in Spain so I had to wait till I got home to play it.
Probably the first and only time I've ever wanted to get home from a holiday in the sun haha

Re: Nintendo Says It Will Continue To Increase The Appeal Of The Switch Online Service
@Dirty0814
I think you're being very generous with use of the word "all"
Granted some of them are fine and still very enjoyable to play but some of them are simply terrible. Not even worth a remaster.

Re: Nintendo Switch Is 'Barely In The Middle' Of Its Life Cycle
@sixrings
Not suggesting it isn't. As a Ps4 Pro owner I'm all for a bit of extra power.
Power aside though, the whole Switch concept is simply perfect in my opinion
Re: Nintendo Switch Is 'Barely In The Middle' Of Its Life Cycle
Other than making a new console more powerful, I don't really see where nintendo go from here.
They've absolutely nailed it with the Switch
Re: How Well Do You Know Mario?
Almost ashamed to say I only got 3 correct.
Disappointed with myself as I pride myself on being a mario fan since the late 80's
I am rather hung over from celebrating ve day yesterday with the neighbours (socially distant of course) so I'm using that as my excuse
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Player Discovers A Way To Skip A Chunk Of The Final Boss Sequence
Agh the 27th October 2017. The day this game released
I remember secretly booking the day off work simply so I could spend the whole day playing it.
My Daughter hadn't started school back then so I took her round to my mums for the day and pretended to go off to work.
I still don't feel guilty about doing that to this day.
A new main series Mario game doesn't come along that often and boy was this one worth the wait
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Sold More Digital Units In A Single Month Than Any Console Game In History
I'm guessing this is down to the vast majority of stores being closed and people being stuck at home.
Very impressive numbers whatever the reason.
Despite that I'm proud to say I still went down the physical route. (managed to order a copy online and it arrived just before Easter)

I'm hoping they saving it for MK9
As much as I love Mario Kart 8 Deluxe I'm ready for an all new game (I had the original on Wii U)
Re: Switch Dock Mod Adds Built-In GameCube Controller Ports
@Jedi_jem
I think I did when I first bought it when I was trying to figure out where best to put it.
I just didn't feel very secure and I didn't want to cause it damage to it. Baring in mind this was when the Switch first launched

To be fair I can't really argue against that haha
Re: Switch Dock Mod Adds Built-In GameCube Controller Ports
Great idea but those ports couldn't have been placed in a more awkward place.

Re: DuckTales: Remastered Returns To Digital Storefronts, Includes The Wii U eShop
I have it on Wii U. I did enjoy it but no so much so that I'd feel the need to buy it again if it did get a Switch release.
Especially as my Wii U is still hooked up to the TV so already have easy access if needed.
