@victordamazio Retro’s DKC games are masterpieces. They’re some of my favorite games (haven’t played through Returns yet but still). I don’t care about Metroid Prime, but I think that for now, it’s more important.
But after it comes out, I’ll be waiting for a new action packed DK game.
I know they're making a 3D game, but wouldn't it be cool if they made a 2D platformer like Donkey Kong Country, with images of the claymation models? Even just 3D models that look like clay would be cool.
@JakedaArbok 3D World is great. I have always loved it. I think that people didn't like it because at the time of release, it was just another 3D Land. People were beginning to think that 3D Mario would always be linear.
Now that we have Odyssey, I think that more people appreciate 3D World for its great music and level design and stuff.
@CharlieGirl I agree. I'm just a Nintendo guy, so Sony and Microsoft's presentations usually don't interest me. Directs are nice because it's all Nintendo.
I didn't see the announcement for this so I'm looking at it now. Seems cool, but do we have any information about it other than that it exists and who's making it?
Wild Brain? Are they gonna replace Sonic with the blue Teletubby?
My understanding is that an NFT is a little bit of plaintext that says that you own something and wreaks havoc on the environment. Why is this necessary for games?
I just want to play video games, I don't care about making money or feeling satisfied that I "own" a virtual item. And I think that most people feel this way too.
In my opinion, the object of a game is to have fun. Everyone plays to have fun. Do you sit down and devote your time to a game that you don't think is fun for an hour? No.
@RareAir23 I agree. I want this to be a good game. Sonic Team's reputation has gone down the toilet. Sonic has become something of a punching bag for the video game industry.
@Friendly Nope, I'm actually stupid. I thought that the title meant best selling titles for the last 12 months but I think it means 2021 releases too. I haven't played the new Shovel Knight spinoff, but I played Slime Rancher on Xbox.
@Anti-Matter No, I’m saying that they have completely different gameplay so you can’t compare them like that. Just Dance is more casual, like a party game. DDR is more competitive.
I've never liked sports games. I've never heard of this game on 3DS but it looks really cool. The fact that it was published by Nintendo guarantees a certain amount of polish and quality.

Re: The Zelda & Loftwing amiibo Is Back In Stock At My Nintendo Store UK
@thugpipe Yeah, in December I went to target and there were loads of these and the Metroid set. I frantically looked on eBay like “Are these rare?”
@GannonBanned whoops looks like I’ve been ninja’d by an hour

Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Is Already Being Streamed Online, And It's Not Even Out Yet
Nintendo should go after these if they aren't. They rabidly hunt down fan projects that don't cost them a dime but they let this happen?
Re: Video: We Have A Lot Of Feelings About Banjo-Kazooie On Switch
We have Banjo now, why not DK64? If I can hear the DK Rap on my Nintendo Switch, my chance of getting the Expansion Pack will quadruple.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Being Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack In February
@FullMetalWesker Maybe I'll just delete my account now.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Being Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack In February
@imgrowinglegs The 3DS version changes some stuff for the worse. The OOT port, though, is really terrific.

Re: Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Has "Done Just Great" Despite Disastrous Launch
This is horrible! If they sold a lot of copies, then that encourages other companies to do bad remasters/ports!

Re: Feature: Our Verdict On The LEGO Sonic The Hedgehog Green Hill Zone Set
@Dinklebot Lego Mario doesn't really look like LEGO though. This looks like Sonic and is mostly a normal Lego minifigure.

Re: Random: Reviews For This Hopeful Ring Fit Competitor Are Not Good
It looks like bad PlayStation Move.
Re: Rumour: Epic Working With Paramount, Opening The Door For TMNT In Fortnite
Thinking about it more, I don't think this would be a good idea.
Imagine Michelangelo the ninja turtle saying "cowabunga" as he violently shoots someone with an assault rifle. Doesn't seem like a great fit to me.
Re: Rumour: Epic Working With Paramount, Opening The Door For TMNT In Fortnite
The new thumbnail for this article gave me hope for news about Shredder's Revenge. I hope that comes out soon.
South Park? 3D South Park characters are generally horrendous and that would be awful.

Re: Poll: It's The Year Of Splatoon 3 - Are You Excited?
I'm sad because I recently got 2 and now there won't be anyone online to play with.
Re: Terraria's 'Journey's End' Update Is Finally Available On Nintendo Switch
May 2020? Wow, it really has been a while since Journey's End released.
Re: Netflix's Sonic Prime Series Is Getting Official Action Figures, Costumes And More

Games should not primarily be about making money.

@RareAir23 I agree. I want this to be a good game. Sonic Team's reputation has gone down the toilet. Sonic has become something of a punching bag for the video game industry.
Re: Nintendo Showcases 2021's Best-Selling Indie Games On Switch
@Friendly Nope, I'm actually stupid. I thought that the title meant best selling titles for the last 12 months but I think it means 2021 releases too. I haven't played the new Shovel Knight spinoff, but I played Slime Rancher on Xbox.
Re: Nintendo Showcases 2021's Best-Selling Indie Games On Switch
I'm surprised to see that there's no Shovel Knight. Shovel Knight's really great, one of my favorite games. Slime Rancher is also cool.
NEVER MIND ABOUT SHOVEL KNIGHT, I'M STUPID
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Was Still On The Podium For Switch In The Holidays
@Anti-Matter No, I’m saying that they have completely different gameplay so you can’t compare them like that. Just Dance is more casual, like a party game. DDR is more competitive.
Dang it, you beat me to it, @UmbreonsPapa
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Was Still On The Podium For Switch In The Holidays
@Anti-Matter Just Dance and DDR are almost completely different games.
Re: Lego Officially Reveals Its Sonic The Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone Set, Available On 1st January 2022
@sanderev Like others have said, most of the pieces are probably the little 1x1 pieces for the texture of the ground.
Re: NFL Coach, Broadcaster And Video Game Icon John Madden Passes Away At 85
@HamatoYoshi The Related Games section lists Madden 06, 07, 09, but not 08.
Re: Best Of 2021: A Look Back At Nintendo's Long History Of Art, Music And Game Making Software
Photo Dojo is awesome!
Re: Nintendo Obtains High Court Injunction Against Internet Service Providers To Block Switch Pirates
I'm all for Nintendo taking down sites that pirate Switch games. Switch game piracy actively takes money from Nintendo.
I'm not so much for Nintendo taking down sites that offer retro games that they're not making money off of, but that's a different story.
Re: Best Of 2021: From Famicom Disk System To Switch - The Evolution Of Nintendo's Miis
Miitomo was awesome. I just used it to take stupid screenshots and say stupid things.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Pocket Football Club Really Needs A Sequel On Switch

Re: Best Of 2021: Retro Nintendo Games Cost Too Much, But Nostalgia Is Expensive
This is a pretty significant problem. How do we play our old games if they're basically inaccessible?
Hmm... If only there was a way to somehow play these games on modern systems. But I'm just dreaming.
Re: A Sonic The Hedgehog Lego Set Has Just Leaked Online
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there already a Sonic LEGO? I think it was for LEGO Dimensions.
@Jackpaza0508 Yup, it was supposed to be based on Mania, but it looks like generic green hill zone.
Re: Best Game Boy Advance (GBA) Games
No DKC? I thought those ports were pretty good.
Re: Random: Someone Recreated The Mario Kart 8 Animal Crossing Circuit On Their New Horizons Island
It always interests me to see the creations people make in ACNH. People make cool stuff even with the limitations of the game.
Re: Review: Chicory: A Colorful Tale - A Masterful Marriage Of Mechanics, Themes And Visuals
That artstyle is so good. Kinda reminds me of Yoshi's Island, how it's sort of a childish artstyle (not in a bad way).
Re: Random: Who Needs The Mother Games When You Can Have This Watch Instead
The coolest part is the Mother logo on the back.
Y'know, the part that you never see.
The Pac-Man one that was released a while back is so much nicer and cheaper, too.
