Fun to see some defictionalization, but I wonder: if they didn't want to add the new pages to this, why bother making new pages at all?

Wait, why wasn't THIS in the Direct?? What are we doing here, we got more expositing on PowerWash Simulator 2 when we could've gotten the rundown on Star Force, yeesh!

It think objectively, it was pretty solid.

@Elbarbo "Caricatural" isn't a word.

@CaleBoi25 I'm not as upset with this as I am with the Martinet-Afghani shift, rather just more confused on what the priorities are for the whole "Mario recast" at this point. Let's cast one guy for all of Charles's roles but get four VAs for Peach and the Toads. While we're at it, let's recast the guy who did the Talking Flowers even though by all accounts he's still currently available. What is going on, I have to wonder(flower)

only thing that actively interested me was the Museum showcasing Mario art. Otherwise? Eh. The storybook is nice though, I love a bit of defictionalization.

@Yoshi3 Make no mistake, I am NOT defending these practices, I've got a LOT of issue with the way Nintendo's running things nowadays. I just feel like everyone's piling on so much salt that any conversation around those practices is starting to feel stale and a bit overdone, if that makes sense.

@Yoshi3 Being real, that's true of ANY company(See also: PlayStation).

@Yoshi3 this is getting us nowhere. The MAIN POINT that I'm trying to make(and admittedly fumbled at making) is that acting like Nintendo is only NOW becoming more greedy is kinda being ignorant to the ways they've always tried to get more money out of their players no matter the leadership and that's unlikely to change.

@Yoshi3 only if you pre-ordered it. It's 5 bucks otherwise. Moot point.

@Yoshi3 Day One DLC doesn't really work here because it'd have to be available at launch for that to be applicable. For example, Mario Kart 8's OG DLC came out in the same year as the game but not right at launch. Alternatively, the Piranha Plant DLC for Smash Ultimate would qualify as "Day One DLC".

@Yoshi3 New Nintendo my left foot. At the end of the day they're still a business and they're always gonna find new ways to make profit. And the Wii U and 3DS eras were literally the start of all this paid DLC stuff so that's not a great comparison.

Nintendo is Nintendo. There is no "old" or "new"

@Elbarbo God forbid. The last thing Mario needs is hyperrealistic overdefined textures and RTX nonsense.

@Yoshi3 this is not new at all why are we pretending it is

You're still gonna buy 'em anyways.

@Croctopus I wouldn't get too excited if I were you. They'll find some way to bungle up Galaxy.

@EarthboundBenjy No freaking duh. With hindsight, 3D All-Stars really was pointless in the long run.

@Uncle_Franklin It's just not a quality experience without the 3D, man. I'm not even kidding.

@fenlix three people did actually:

• me
• myself
• and I

They saw everyone on their knees for Odyssey DLC so they went ahead and did it here to shut everyone up.

Welcome back Skylanders Swap Force.

@CrankyBonesGaming NO. YOU'RE PLAYING THESE GAMES THEY WAY GOD INTENDED AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT

Did they change the Talking Flower's voice?

OHHHHH MY GOD.

oh I love Tron

@Banjo- I have that. I just wanna see it rereleased with the other 3D Marios.

It's just TENNIS.

@Banjo- since you can't even buy that one anymore, does it really matter if it's with 3D All-Stars at this point?

@Banjo- ya missed the news, buddy

Of course the gluttons get the Galaxies and us 3D Land fans get NOTHING

AGAIN

I can only imagine how Illumination would butcher this one.

EDIT: Yup. I'm out. Not gonna watch it. I refuse.

@Tayrailbridge Slander is spoken, in print it's libel. Also, how?

Ah, they're sticking with best Dededesign I see. HAL knows what's up.

Funny, Mario Odyssey rewards you for sitting on a bench and now here we have a game that punishes you for doing that

Anyone expecting the next 3D Mario to be announced right off the heels of Bananza is just begging to be disappointed.

The most I'm expecting is more information on Prime 4, Splatoon Raiders and some new reveals for the roster in Kirby Air Riders.

Nintendo addressing the masses: LOOK. HERE'S YOUR STUPID DIRECT. HAPPY?

...yeah this is bad for games let's be real

I think what makes this particularly damning is that the mainline Pokemon games haven't really done anything innovative with the mechanic to even warrant having it patented to begin with.

Skeezy gatekeeping. That's what it is.

Nice try, @Kuruwin or should I say, BUBSY

I'm glad they added the option for button swapping - even if it's complete remapping, it's still nice to have an option.

@ludotaku oh this is pretty neat

@h3s not entirely true. the version of Legends on the PS Vita had most of the Wii U features intact.

A Rayman artbook full of concept art and behind-the-scenes info covering the entire series' history would be nice to have honestly. Like, if I can't have a new game then give me something else of substance.

Hmmm. Bubsy 4D isn't doing it for me tbh. Be it the new furbait redesign or overemphasis on shmoovement over engaging level design, it's just not enticing as it wants to be, which is a shame.

On the inverse, Rebounder looks pretty sick. I love a good vintage comic aesthetic and the weird mix of basketball and platforming has me very interested. I'll keep an eye on that one.

well that was quick

happy 30th anniversary y'all!

[sigh of exasperation]

cue kvetching in 3...2...1...

@EarthboundBenjy personally speaking I think the best way to play Rayman 1 is with Rayman Redemption, a fanmade remake that offers a lot of great QoL updates: level design is more balanced and fair, it ditches the 100% completion requirement the OG had and it even offers some new bonus content.

Honestly even if this were true the lot of you would be kvetching about it being on a Game Key Card

@The_Nintendo_Pedant do you mean in terms of visuals or in terms of level design and difficulty because if it's the latter I'm allowed to ask who hurt you

@mlt doesn't matter Uncle Ben, Strider is better than both of them
