Dude, I’m so tired of the game. I’ve been playing it since December 2014 and have been ready to move on for years. I know I’m literally the only one who thinks this, but I wish Mario kart 8 Deluxe never came out and we had just gotten a new installment in like 2019
@Mykcir yeah, I don’t get it why people say the Wii U was bad. Just because the marketing and sales are bad doesn’t mean the console as a console was. Most people saying it was bad never even had one. The games are probably the best in Nintendo’s history with NSMBU, Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, Yoshi’s Woolly World, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad, Breath of the Wild and so much more. A massive chunk of the Switch’s library is made up of Wii U titles, including three of the top ten! The Switch is a truly amazing console, but I think the Wii U deserves a lot more attention than it gets
What I really want is a better way to find sales. There should be a page for Nintendo published games on sale and a wish list that gives you notifications when a game there goes on sale. That’s all I really want. Oh, and no lag PLEASE
Played it with my dad last night. Both of us really loved the Wii sports resort basketball and we both thought this was pretty fun. The shooting is a bit different, the dunking is weird and stealing the ball is way too easy, but besides that it was pretty good
@Spider-Kev I would hardly call something an unfinished work just because of a few bugs. Every game has a few and they could’ve left them in and it wouldn’t have impacted sales, but Nintendo wants to keep their standards high. People need to stop complaining about Nintendo for selling “unfinished games” when they either have just a lack of content (Mario sports games) and just a few bugs, the latter definitely is not an unfinished game. Through over 20 hours of TTYD it’s one of the smoothest games I’ve played
Yeah, this has something I’ve always thought would never happen. I mean I don’t think it’ll be a Wii U failure but I feel like it’ll have pretty good sales
@HatesCheese true. Wii Sports Resort is one of my most nostalgic games but I always thought the air sports, cycling, basketball and power cruising were better. Maybe people just like Matt beating them senseless 😂
Definitely still confused why they waited so long, but I’m still pumped for it. Basketball was easily the second best Wii Sports Resort sport besides island flyover
I dunno for sure how I stand on this issue, but I agree that Nintendo has a right to guard their IPs and fan art can either scare away from or drum up interest in a product. I can see it being used to the advantage of Nintendo and the disadvantage and if they think the cons outweigh the pros, well then that’s the best decision
@Tayrailbridge yeah, 3 was basically the game that got me to branch out into more Nintendo franchises. I’ll probably go back for another play through sometime
Paper Mario is the only 2024 game I’ve gotten so far so I guess that’s GOTY. Can’t see why people would put Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, a 11 year old game that barely looks better than its original release
I noticed something was up in the direct when none of the new games had “available to preorder” after them. Can’t decide if pyoro going down is a good thing though. I certainly enjoyed watching people decode his cryptic hints, but it’s nice at the same time to have unspoiled directs
I remember being scared of the box art of the Wii version as a kid lol. This is kinda outrageous though as you can pick up a Wii copy for less than ten dollars
@Retrodouche sorry, but I started on the Wii U and playing the same game for 10 years gets old. The dlc tracks were fine but mostly lazy. From 2015-2024 we got eight new tracks: battle arena, dragon palace, sweet sweet kingdom, lunar colony, urchin underpass, sky high sundae, yoshi’s island and squeaky clean sprint. Two cups worth isn’t worth nine years of waiting, especially when over half are mediocre battle tracks. But this is all just my opinion, if you think a decade old port with dlc suffices for this Mario kart draught, then I envy you
Was definitely not expecting a Nintendo Switch Sports update this late. Gotta admit, basketball was one of my favorite sports on Wii sports resort so I’ll be sure to check this one out
I know everyone is so sad that there hasn’t been a new DK game in years with just two rereleases now but may I point out that Mario kart has had nothing but ONE PITIFUL RERELEASE IN TEN YEARS! Sorry I just hate Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and it gets me so mad when people say it’s the greatest switch game

Re: Switch Is Now Nintendo's Longest-Serving Flagship Home Console
A salute to the great console the switch is 🫡 (although the Wii U is still better)

Still waiting for a Super Mario football game…not soccer
Re: 'Emio' Includes A Lot Of Horrific Mature Themes, According To Its Rating
It’s cool Nintendo is trying new things but horror isn’t my thing, so I’ll pass on this on this one

Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Update Now Live (Version 1.0.1), Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Almost beaten the game and never ran into any of these issues. Cool that they’re fixing them though.
Re: Soapbox: Has Nintendo Set A Precedent That 'Switch 2' Can't Hope To Match?
Yeah, this has something I’ve always thought would never happen. I mean I don’t think it’ll be a Wii U failure but I feel like it’ll have pretty good sales
Re: Surprise! Basketball Slams Onto Nintendo Switch Sports This Week
@Anti-Matter that’s cool. Everyone has their own tastes I guess
Re: Surprise! Basketball Slams Onto Nintendo Switch Sports This Week
@HatesCheese true. Wii Sports Resort is one of my most nostalgic games but I always thought the air sports, cycling, basketball and power cruising were better. Maybe people just like Matt beating them senseless 😂
Re: Surprise! Basketball Slams Onto Nintendo Switch Sports This Week
I hear a lot of people saying they want boxing back. I honestly thought that was one of the worst sports in the series, but that’s just my opinion
Re: Surprise! Basketball Slams Onto Nintendo Switch Sports This Week
Definitely still confused why they waited so long, but I’m still pumped for it. Basketball was easily the second best Wii Sports Resort sport besides island flyover

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Nervous To Replay In Case They Don't Hold Up?
@Tayrailbridge yeah, 3 was basically the game that got me to branch out into more Nintendo franchises. I’ll probably go back for another play through sometime
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Nervous To Replay In Case They Don't Hold Up?
I personally like Pikmin 3 more than 4 but don’t wanna go back to it in case my memories of it made it better than it was
Re: Cars 2
This is actually a really good game. BUY IT NOW
Re: What Review Score Would You Give Luigi's Mansion 2 HD?
@The_Pixel_King a few people give games a one on all of these polls for some reason
Re: Component Shortage No Longer An Issue For Switch Successor, Says Nintendo
Good. I’ve never gotten a console day one and I was worried about that for this console
Re: Poll: What's Your Switch Game Of The Year Of 2024 So Far?
Paper Mario is the only 2024 game I’ve gotten so far so I guess that’s GOTY. Can’t see why people would put Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, a 11 year old game that barely looks better than its original release
Re: Feature: 54 Switch Ports We'd Love To See Before The Generation's Out
No tomadachi life? 😢 glad Yoshi’s woolly world was on there though
Re: Nintendo Adds Multiple Upcoming Releases To Its Switch Voucher Program
Not really into theses as I prefer physical games more. Only time I got ones was to get totk without paying the $70
Re: Random: Nintendo Considered Some Bananas Names For DK, Including "Kong Dong"
@Lofoten Kong the Kong is clearly the best
Re: Super Mario Run Celebrates Luigi's Mansion 2 HD In New Crossover
I’ve played this game too much. I have thousands of toads and am past over a hundred areas in remix 10. Maybe I’ll try a few of these challenges
Re: Poll: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Is Out This Week, Will You Be Getting It?
@Johnion thankfully I have a friend who’s willing to sell his 3Ds and copy of the game for a cheap price
Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Costs $60 On Switch
@axelhander oh yeah, I did play the first one on nso, but I had forgotten about it. It was pretty enjoyable
Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Costs $60 On Switch
@PipeGuy64Bit yeah, I’ve been thinking about picking it up sometime
Re: Nintendo Is Hard At Work To Prevent Future Leaks
I noticed something was up in the direct when none of the new games had “available to preorder” after them. Can’t decide if pyoro going down is a good thing though. I certainly enjoyed watching people decode his cryptic hints, but it’s nice at the same time to have unspoiled directs
Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Costs $60 On Switch
Sad. Never played a DK game before and was hoping to get this since it comes out the day before my birthday. But $60 is too much for this
Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley's 'The Lucky Dragon' Update Arrives, Here Are The Patch Notes
@TotalHenshin it’s a pretty good game but very glitchy and time consuming. I’d suggest getting Animal Crossing if you’re willing to spend a bit more
Re: Poll: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Is Out This Week, Will You Be Getting It?
I enjoyed Luigi’s Mansion 3 but $60 is way too much to spend on a lackluster 3DS remaster. I’ll probably get a 3DS and get that version for cheaper
Re: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Paints Up Release Date, Pre-Order Bonuses & Collector's Edition
I remember being scared of the box art of the Wii version as a kid lol. This is kinda outrageous though as you can pick up a Wii copy for less than ten dollars
Re: Talking Point: Could Another Nintendo Series Take Over The 'Traditional' Zelda Template?
Never played any of the franchises mentioned in the article, but I’d be happy to try a new earthbound entry as the games look neat

Re: Splatoon 3 Reveals 'Summer Nights' Splatfest Theme & Dates
Beaches are kinda overrated tbh. I’ll be sticking with theme park for this one
Re: Hands On: Can Lord Of The Rings Spice Up A Stale Genre With 'Tales Of The Shire'?
@AG_Awesome sorry, but Lego battle of the five armies will just never happen 😔
Re: Hands On: Can Lord Of The Rings Spice Up A Stale Genre With 'Tales Of The Shire'?
I’m a big LOTR fan, but I think Animal Crossing and Dreamlight Valley are all the games of this genre I can handle
Re: Video: New Metroid Prime 4 Footage Spotted On Nintendo's Teaser Website
Still on the fence about getting this game. Never played a Metroid game before, but if everyone’s so hyped for it maybe I’ll give it a shot
Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Swings Onto Switch Next Year
@Retrodouche guess so

Re: Reaction: A Direct That Delivered, And Shows That Switch Still Has Plenty Of Pep
Had a lot of great announcements but for some reason I felt a bit disappointed. Nothing here screamed ‘Day one buy’ for me for some reason
Re: We're Getting A Brand New 'Mario & Luigi' RPG This November
Cool! Probably won’t pick this up anytime soon since Paper Mario TTYD is all the rpg I can handle at the moment
Re: 'Super Mario Party Jamboree' Rolls Onto Switch This October
Might pick this up. I only own Mario Party Superstars and it’s a good game I but don’t see the need for more than one
Re: Basketball Is Dunking Onto Nintendo Switch Sports This Summer

Re: New 2D Adventure 'The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom' Announced For This September
Cool. This is a Zelda game I’m more likely to pick up even though I’m not a huge fan of the series
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Confirmed, Launching 2025
Probably the most excited I’ve been during a direct and I’ve never even played a Metroid game lol
