Muh-ario

I really hope its a 3D game or at least a hybrid type like Mario 3D world. The series as of now feels like NSMB by releasing a touched up version of the same game every few years.

not as catchy as some of her old hits

OMG A FAMOUS PERSON LIKES THE SAME GAME AS ME

Good thing he didnt upset ResetEra, then his personal life would be on the line.

only thing exciting me on this list is Mario Golf

the rumor of the Souls like Castlevania would be amazing, the two games are a match made in heaven

looks fun, but I only ever play fighters anymore with my friends because we all suck, going online is usually a miserable experience for me since I don't have the patience to lab four hours a day just to not get repeatedly juggled and corner combo'd to death.

3DS version would have been awesome, especially with gyroscopic aiming making it feel like you're holding a camera.

I hope it still stays as a stealth game and not become a watered down third person shooter to please the Uncharted/Last Of Us demographic

@Ryan_Again as a Snake main, i would gladly make you reconsider

@jackjustjack okay? over abundance of FE is still boring to me. Gimme Knuckles or Proto Man instead.

I'm not even against the series being in smash since it is a Nintendo franchise, but it's a bit ridiculous how they get like eight, but Sonic and Mega Man only get one.

Byleth was an absolute snorefest of a DLC, especially coming right after a bunch of awesome new ones.

Hoping it's a new Donkey Kong Country with the return of K Rool

damn Nintendo is on a roll, best selling fighting game and now racing game?

I believe it, he probably just has to finish his playthrough of Metroid Dread and Mario 64 2 first

he was a much needed president after Nintendo's first dark age with the N64

@Anguspuss except in super seducer you get punished for acting like a lecherous creep and rewarded for flirting while respecting boundaries. The "respect wahmen" crowd can't seem to make the difference for some reason.

Would really hate it if Sony bought them, I don't want their california influence over Dragon Quest as well as having to waste money on a PS5.

Looks interesting, but I actually feel like OOTs more mature style had more charm.

@meeto_1 I dont see how I personally interjected myself? Seems like projection since you feel like it's a game that teaches sexual abuse and should be removed and then hide behind "muh capitalism" to make others think you support this from a pure business perspective and not an emotional one.

I dont care for PUA stuff, but I can still defend the game by saying it doesnt promote anything illegal, in fact the game actually dissuades and punishes you for acting aggressive or creepy towards women, so I dont see a problem with it, especially since Twitches and YTs strict rules dont think its illegal lol.

Again I have no problem if you hate the game or think the guy is just fleecing money from lonely guys, I'm just saying it's no true to say hes promoting illegal behavior or that his games content crosses some kind of line when far more graphic stuff is allowed to be sold on the platforms it was banned on, including Nintendo which is why I say this is a double standard more than a smart business decision. The game has 0 pornography in it, but steam still has tons of hentai simulators.

Also yes, free market capitalism in theory is where consumer demand dictates the market, mega corporations imposing their standards on a market they have a total monopoly over is corporatism. Google it I guess.

@nessisonett OP said its capitalism when companies dictate what the consumers should buy, by definition thats closer to the part of Fascism where the government centralizes all businesses and dictates the market instead of the consumers.

If I were to give this example a more accurate label, it would be corporatism.

@westman98 lmao how is it milked more? There hasn't been a Wario Land game since 2008.

Game Freak's current plan for Pokemon is a new release every year, thats the definition of milked.

@meeto_1

Dishonest take. First off the game doesn't advocate for "creepy" behavior, in fact it punishes you for it. If basic courtship of women is somehow creepy, then i guess prostitution is moral. I'd like to see some actual proof from within the game where it advocates this instead of just hearsay hyperbole.

Second, nobody is saying you can't criticize the game, you can hate it openly all you want. The only criticism people like you are getting is that you feel the need to be the arbiters of what games are morally acceptable to be on sale or not.

Finally, capitalism is when the consumer demand dictates the market, not when multi billion dollar corporations do, this is closer to fascism which is why people complain about it in the first place. If we already have a rating system, then companies have no reason to be concerned with the content of this game, especially when games like Last Of Us 2 or MK11 are allowed to be on sale, despite depicting way more graphic content.

@EarthboundBenjy its okay, i give you major props for humbling yourself. It can be easy to get caught up in hearsay nowadays, ive been guilty of it myself.

I really dont see why we have a rating system at all anymore.

@nessisonett so? Mortal Kombat 11 let's you beat up on women as well as dismember them, and that's allowed on Nintendo.

@Zacattack99 The Guy Game was controversial because it had footage of underage women going topless.

@EarthboundBenjy no, it's about courting women for dates. You get rejected in the game for acting like a creep. I dont see what that has to do with misogyny which means hatred or distrust of women.

if Splatoon, Arms, and another button masher by Platinum Games is their idea of new IPs, I'd much rather see old stuff revived instead.

@westman98 Pokemon Snap is a spinoff to an already milked franchise. Stuff like Wario Land, F Zero, Star Fox, and even Metroid at the rate Prime 4 is going are all dormant. The only Metroid fix i have on the Switch is the lousy online services port of Metroid 1 and Super Metroid, were four years into the system and couldn't even get one remake while Pokemon gets two remakes?

I'm looking forward to it, but still keeping expectations at a minimum.

Just glad this summer wont be as boring as last, those partner showcases were painful.

@GamingDude800 true but I consider that a Gamecube game first. I mostly just meant the DS Zeldas and Skyward Sword.

Keeping expectations in check.

Most likely a BOTW2 trailer, teasers for Prime 4 and Bayo 3, another trailer for Mario Golf and Splatoon 3, a wild card surprise announcement, and a smash DLC reveal(not too hyped personally since fighters pass 2 has been pretty meh for me).

Is it a bad game? Not necessarily, is it one of the best Zeldas? Definitely not.

The DS Zeldas felt like such a regression after the Game boy games content wise and gameplay wise. They're basically just ultra casualized games made to cash in on non Zelda fans with its gimmicky and simplistic control scheme, but in the end it failed to please both the casuals and longtime fans.

Personally I go as far as saying the DS/Wii was a dark age for the series.

It's not a mystery why the industry Is neglecting retro gaming, because it increases people's backlogs and slows down their consumption of newer games.

Pretty sure all the 3D Castlevanias are the worst

If dating was a videogame, then for me it's like playing Ghost n Goblins while blindfolded

Looks like a straight to DVD bargain bin movie from Wal Mart

Bought out reviews, this is nothing new.

Id give the game like a 5/10 at best based on the demo, even for 1999-2002 standards its pretty mediocre.

@Bizzyb or they just consumed heaps of pot and junk food to make something this lazy and boring.

@Wargoose we already have an awful list, dont give us another

F-Zero
Mario Strikers
Mario And Luigi
Golden Sun
Mario vs Donkey Kong
Wario Land
Punch Out
Banjo And Kazooie
Star Fox

@Chowdaire currently replaying 3 on Steam and it still holds up for me after not having played it since 2006.

@Bobb I remember when they were ported to GBA and young people then found them confusing and hard, it takes actual effort to play a game where your party isnt on auto pilot lol

@backlogrob also an insult that 3 doesnt make it considering how much it pioneered for the future games.

Pretty lame list tbh, X is probably the most overrated game in the series and I honestly dont know why. The story of the game has some cool concepts and the combat was really good, but that doesnt excuse the dumbed down linearity of the level design, lack of any real challenge, the ugly character design and bland environments, and the cringey dialogue/voice acting. I've had no desire to play it again in the past 18 years since I've played it. This game marked the end of the series for me personally.

@Ghostchip no one said its horrible, it's just a mediocre quality game considering how much the series is worth and what the Switch is capable of.

I got enjoyment out of it, but I know it could have been much better.

People complaining about the fluidity of the walking clearly never played the remake on the DS.

Even though i think its smarter that Nintendo is focusing on one system, i still miss the 3DS and the smaller scale unique games it had.

Nope, tried the 3DS games and it felt really monotonous.
