I play Mario Maker in handheld, so the mouse function wouldn’t really help much. I also think that Splatoon should NOT use the mouse as its only way to play. I don’t play any other shooters and am only used to that control scheme, and in my opinion it’s perfect
@PikminMarioKirby Unfortunately, I doubt we’ll get a 64 or a SNES. Lego seems to be releasing one big set for each console, and they already made one for those two
Cool. I’m a huge Lego fan and already have the piranha plant and Mario world sets (the other two big ones were a bit too expensive for me). I never had a game boy, but if this is fairly priced, I’d be excited for this one
I only use them when other people come over and they have dropped them in the past. I always used the straps back on the Wii but the Switch’s are just uncomfortable
I’m happy for them. I watched 3 in theaters last week and really enjoyed it. I never had played a Sonic game for then, but picked up Sonic Superstars for half off on the eShop
@Dom_31 I’m gonna attempt to try both to see which one is more my type. I do tend to like 2D games more than 3D, but I want to see if Prime 4 lives up to the seven years of hype
@the_beaver @rvcolem1 @Max_the_German yeah I tried out a bit of the original metroid on NSO but couldn’t figure it out and tried a demo of Metroid Prime remastered and thought it was pretty good. Maybe not my type of game, but I really wanted to actually buy one, so thanks for the input!
Besides maybe trying out Metroid for the first time with prime 4, these games look meh. DKC Returns would be cool if it was $20 and Xenoblade doesn’t interest me, so looks like I’ll be holding off till Switch 2
Ugh I hate it when movies kill their box office numbers like this. At least let it be there for a month and a half. This has been happening with so many of my favorite movies that came out this year
Why does no one pick their Splatfest team by the theme anymore? I hate that they’re connected to the idols. Anyway, I’m picking team experiences but money’s definitely gonna win, especially since they literally already did
I finally got New Horizons in January so that was my most played game at about 85 hours. Splatoon 3 wasn’t far behind with the splatfests and side order pushing it to 65
@Mgalens I actually wasn’t a big Nintendo fan back then, but I did hear quite a bit about it. I was really on train September reveal a few months back and that kinda ruined me, so I’m just holding off for an official reveal
@yohn777 I certainly think they could go that route and rerelease a bunch of Switch games to pad out the launch, but when there were so many ports coming in the Switch’s first few years and they received some backlash for it (except MK8 still sold well). I can’t imagine how big the backlash will be if they rerelease the switch games, especially if they’re at a higher price. If they release another Mario kart 8 I might actually explode 🤣 But honestly, I can see your side and I could see one coming, I just don’t understand why everyone seems to want that instead of a new game. There are series that need and old game instead of a new one, like Yoshi’s Woolly World coming back. It just feels like Smash Ultimate was, just like its name, the Ultimate form of what smash could be. If they added to that, it would take away of all that hype, and kinda defeat Sakurai’s masterpiece. If he’s not working on the next game, they need to find a way forward without him and reboot the franchise; redo all the character’s movesets, UI, everything about it to offer a different experience from the original pentilogy (if that’s how you say it)
@yohn777 I think the main reason all the ports from the Wii U to the Switch were successful is because not many people had a Wii U. As someone who did own one, I never bought MK8D until the booster course pass came because I had all the content already besides the battle stuff. The problem is forty million people already have smash ultimate and most probably have the dlc, and even if not you can just play the normal one since it’s backwards compatible. This is kind of in a Wii to Wii U territory where no games to my knowledge were directly ported. I’m not saying they can’t but rereleasing a game six years after it came out onto a system you can already play it on seems stupid and a bad business decision. I’m not a big smash fan and wouldn’t get a deluxe version (I haven’t even bought the dlc yet), and I feel like anyone who doesn’t own the game isn’t a big enough fan to want to pay extra for dlc. Sorry for the lengthy response 😉
@yohn777 I do own some other consoles, not any other than Nintendo, though. I could see this happening if it was an older game, like if Super Mario RPG was on NSO and then they released the remake, but since the game was released just six years ago, just bundling the base game with the dlc seems like something almost nobody would buy. Six years is plenty of time to make a new game so I don’t see why a reboot is so outlandish
@boxyguy that would make sense, and honestly I would agree that’s what they’d do, except the Switch 2 is gonna be backwards compatible. Why would you port a game onto a console you can already play? They could add new fighters and stuff, but I feel like Sora was the culmination of that game. I don’t know why everyone’s so against a Smash 6, it’s been SIX YEARS. It doesn’t need as much content, just give it a reboot
@Polley001 Thanks for the heads up, I didn’t even know that an official physical release was a thing. But Nintendo has done no marketing for this, and from a quick google search it’s on CD which hardly anyone uses anymore. I feel like they should market this more and put it on vinyl or something or just put it on Nintendo music
