Mario Kart is the gift that keeps giving to Nintendo. Remarkable how many copies the series has sold. I would love to see the data on how much that series has netted Nintendo.

There is a great documentary on YT about how they developed the first one.

Thundercats all the way. I also thought Big Trouble in Little China ( not a cartoon) would be an awesome Beat Em Up.

Disney's Gummi Bears would be rad.

More meaningful interaction with the Depths. Maybe tree chopping or something exciting and unique about going into the underworld. It is just as big as the overworld but feels sparse and devoid of activities by comparison. I just go to harvest Zonaite and Miniboss Ingredients.

Hopefully, it doesn't get run into the ground like the New series.

Awesome IP... check!
Awesome Idea.... check!
Execution.... uuuuuuuhhh...?

I still need to play the first one.

@Anachronism @AstroTheGamosian That is exactly the same story I have heard from so many of my friends. People who couldn't get into BOTW but loved Genshin, and vice versa. I am more of the latter. I tried but just didn't feel Genshin. So, I think people that dish out the hate, saying Genshin is a clone really don't know what they are talking about. I think Mihoyo has really done their homework and established themselves as a top tier developer. Star Rail only proves Genshin wasn't a fluke.... respect to Mihoyo where credit is due.

This looks awesome! No way it coming out on the switch unless Nintendo goes all in on the Apple/Sony model of retro-compatibility. Would be brilliant if they did.

After doing a little more research, the ties of SNK to the Saudi government, makes this a head scratcher. I respect people either buying or not buying this game based on their moral position. It's a tough one: giving money to an authoritarian government or punishing the devs amd IP that are stuck in the middle.

Looks pretty awesome, gameplay, art and all!

BOTW's DLC was literally like Nintendo read my mind on what the game needed. For TOTK, I'm really not sure, all I can think of is bringing Guardians back, or making it feel like the depths aren't just giant wastelands of boredom. As for a Master Quest, I honestly don't care. TOTK already feels a little more tedious than BOTW. I would hate for the enemies to become damage sponges.

@F_Destroyer Agreed, I'm all for legible game play but this looks overly simplistic. And in some cases I can't tell what the context is...? Are they running around in a pastel kitchen sink or dump? I had to remind myself that it is supposed to be an "island". Even then, it's kind of a stretch.

This looks simultaneously super fun and really ugly.

NES games that could be reimagined could be:

Pro Wrestling
Kung Fu
Urban Champion

The original format to Kid Icarus was interesting: platforming, then labyrinth, then shmup.

I think something could be done with Battalion Wars also.

This list is a travesty that completely undermines my fragile opinion of what games I personally enjoy most..... (sarcasm)

It's just a list folks, a data point, a curiosity. It is kind of like arguing over what the best flavor of ice cream is, when everyone knows it's Pistachio

BTW If the list were mine, there wouldn't be a single JRPG. (grenade thrown, and runs away)

I don't know really anything about the case, but it seems like a lot of people are focused on COD. It seems like this has just as big implications on the PC side with Battlenet and Blizzard going to Microsoft.

Ultra on Switch and SF4 on 3ds all the way. Removing nostalgia as a factor, those two are excellent.

If they ever released 4 on a Nintendo console again it would be bonkers. Alpha 3 Max is probably my favorite of all of them but I think Sony has the rights to it..... and this article is only about SF2... so Ultra.

If it was PVP I would understand, but this seems a little overcontrolling. If people want to "break" the intended curve, let them, if they hate it after that is their prerogative. It is not like there are microtrans they are circumnavigation.

Just so we're clear, I have never used a dupe glitch, couldn't care less if others do. It seems almost obsessive/compulsive to go after them all.

@LikelySatan it's all good. Different strokes for different folks. I always felt like an odd man out for not getting into Odyssey or 64. Variety is the spice of life and what have you. I loved the Galaxy games but that's why Nintendo changes it up, so there something for everyone with each new game of ideas. I'm sure everyone has "sacred" games that they hate.

Hmmmm.... love the series. But this looks clunky. Waiting for reviews....

Looks awesome! Definitely waiting for reviews.

@Poodlestargenerica thanks so much for the clarification! Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

@whitemage thanks so much! Really appreciate you taking the time to respond!

I am asking a sincere question. How fun is Xenoblade if you like purely action based combat? Jrpgs are not my thing, I've tried a bunch but never latched on. I didn't like KOTOR or any FF. I love Zelda and Kingdom Hearts. Where does Xenoblade fit in? Any insight is appreciated.

@Maxz @DwaynesGames I worked on Fortnite for years and that is a FTP game. Even with no financial barrier to create games on the platform, we found that a very small, small, minority of players made games. Even fewer published those games to the masses.

Given that experience, I wouldn't be surprised if Game Garage has a similar problem of a vast percentage of players haven't even made one game let alone publish them. And then you take that small proportion and only a minute amount of those are even fun.

It is a hard problem to solve, especially when the initial financial barrier limits the audience size.

I guess this a long way of saying we are all in agreement. (high fives all around)

To be honest, they should have just released this for free. And made all the content playable for free and allowed upload to public behind Nintendo Online. We are in a post Roblox, Fortnite and a million other free UGC world. The tools seem too obscure for mass success, they needed to counterbalance that with a massive open gate to play.

This is phenomenal news!!! I love The Gladiator and was wishing that some day it would get a proper and legal release to a wider audience.

So happy for the Movie. Great family film that parents can enjoy with their kids. Was it Shawshank Redemption... No, but it didn't need to be, and I didn't expect it to. I thought it was beautiful and well animated. The cast was spot on too.

There are so many shmups that are considered great on the Switch at this point I think we could use an updated list of "best of". I appreciate the genre but don't know where to start. I have Ikaruga, is that the best of the best?

This looks like a ton of fun!!

The character art and animation is so good. I wish the environments got the same love. I look forward to seeing the reviews.

@AstroTheGamosian a remaster would be incredible. But I definitely would want to keep the "I am error" maybe he (Error) can give you a bunch of self aware quests.

I would buy this in without hesitation..... well as long as they fix the difficulty....And the flow, and the towns folk... and added a couple more dungeons.... but then I'm totally sold.

@Ade117 not a ton of new ideas, if any. But I enjoyed it. It scratches the top down Zelda itch. If you liked the first one, this is more of the same. My brain mixes it up with Rogue Heroes.

This is the perfect storm of strong opinions: AI art and Chris Pratt as Mario..... well played NL, well played!

Bayou Billy Remake, here we go!!! 😉

Still playing SOR4 every day, not ashamed to admit it.

Gravity Circuit looks pretty slick. I think I will watch for this one.

This looks like a ton of fun but holy cow their environment art is uninspired....

Man, I so want to love these games. They are exceptionally gorgeous and the presentation, all around, is top notch. As mentioned above, in other comments, they are sooo slow and damage spongey. They feel like a slog. I will go back to playing SOR4....

I'm excited for them and they are not asking for much.

Nintendo, once again being ultra protectionist. It is good to a point but these content creators are preaching the word. They are building more diehard fans. Nintendo proving again that they are way too slow to adapt.

@Tempestryke Love it Hey, when being a despot doesn't pay the bills....

@Tempestryke Same. I was like, " Sweet! A GI Joe game!"

Art Director: I want the eyes bigger.
Artist: How much bigger.
Art Director: Yes.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika A great recap. I thought the shows writing was really solid until Balan showed up. It kind of went downhill from there, jumping the shark and introduced a character just to monopolize on a new audience. I'm glad they killed him but it's disappointing when you can see the writer's room through the show, smh.

@benmalsky198 Not in the slightest. I think you can definitely be fans and I find the loyalty admirable. I was a diehard Sega fan back in the Genesis days.

I think Sonic is a fantastic IP but hasn't proven to be a great game series, particularly when it comes to their 3D entries. I have watched from afar, fans who get their hopes up with every release, only to see disappointment. This might be the wrong analogy but it kind of like watching a puppy walk into a road.

You deserve better.

@Mauzuri This is all written, so tone can be difficult to ascertain. I imply no offense nor do I take any. I am a fan of Nintendo because their games are quality. If they dropped in quality I wouldn't be their fan.

Sonic fans on the other hand hold out hope eternal (which is admirable), that a great Sonic game will come along. I am not sure at this point if the track record will pan out. The release of this game points to a pattern. Which is sad, Sonic is a great IP.

Hahaha... not super surprised.

Sonic fans.... you have to let him go. Need to sign a DNR.

Sonic and his fans have one of the most abusive relationships in the gaming world.

Looks awesome.
