Keeping in mind that this is a demo version I'm sure it has new courses and car parts. If it doesn't, the Mariokart 8 Wii U servers will still be popular.
I was excited to play this game before this was revealed and now I'm even more curious. We already know it's a solid game so any addition is a good one.
While I doubt Mother 3 will happen, wait until E3 to jump to the conclusion that we won't get Metroid or something else that fans really want. These games take time to make.
I think they will bring back an old franchise since they have done that the past 2 times. I think E-Shop transfer is a must, and I think Nintendo will fund Beyond Good and Evil 2, making it a forced exclusive like Bayonetta. We will see a lot of trailers without gameplay since they want to show off all of the system sellers, and whatever retro is working on. There will also probably be a Pokémon game of some kind.
Still skeptical that it will come to the west, and this doesn't really prove anything. I would definitely buy it if it came out on the Wii U, but it might be a while until I get a Switch.
I never really used it. It made my eyes hurt if I looked at it for too long, and games ran smoother with it turned off. Not a bad idea, and it worked well enough. The concept might work better on paper.
This would be a system seller for some people, the mother fan base is a dedicated one. It would probably encourage some people to at least look at the Switch too. I would buy it instantly if it was on Wii U, but it won't make me buy a Switch.
Nintendo needs to meet demand and bring on the games, for 3DS and Switch. Mobile clearly isn't a priority since they will make money with it no matter what, and they will probably keep doing their own thing for E3.
These Nintendo crossovers have made me try out a lot of franchises I haven't tried before like dynasty warriors and Tekken. This one doesn't sound so good.
@Spoony_Tech While it is a remake of a 10 year old game it is one of the best remakes I've played. The graphics and music are fully remastered and they added in some extra things too.
Sun and Moon definitely deserved GOTY. I just started playing Sun and wow, all the little things it did to improve basic things in Pokémon go a long way. The intro to the game is also really cool and it isn't bogged down with tutorials. It's interesting that the staff and fan picks were so similar.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you. It's been a good year for this site, and I hope many more will follow. Also if I could find an NES Mini that would be great...
I understand why they did that, what I don't understand is the timing. This thing has been in development for years, why would you stop it a few days before release?
This makes me miss club Nintendo a lot. Even only digital rewards were better than these bad discounts or digital objects. Buying games and getting games as a reward was so satisfying.
It was literally the best of times and the worst of times during the console's era. It had great games and an interesting idea, but too many bad choices from Nintendo doomed it.
That doesn't show us much, but at least this gives us proof that they are working on it. The fact that they found this in Miitomo rather than the Animal Crossing game probably means that we are getting the FE game first.

Re: Video: Watch the Nintendo Switch Experience From Tokyo, Day One - Live!
The Mariokart 8 soundtrack is underrated.

Re: Dragon Quest Heroes 1 And 2 Are Brawling Their Way To Nintendo Switch In Japan
This better come to NA.
Re: Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 18th January
Fire Emblem Warriors is the best Nintendo dynasty warriors game idea I can think of. Think of all the characters and weapons!
Re: Ultra Street Fighter II Introduces Evil Ryu And Violent Ken
I would take this over Street Fighter 5.
Re: Splatoon 2 Hits Nintendo Switch This Summer With New Weapons And Stages
It's pretty much everything I wanted in a sequel.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Will Be Trotting Globes On Switch This Holiday Season
The city is strange looking but beyond that it looks really interesting and fun.
Re: Gallery: New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Screenshots Look Pretty Fresh
As long as they add more than one new cup I will probably buy it. The new characters are interesting choices.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th January (North America)
F-Zero! I've been waiting to buy this.
Re: F-Zero X Comes to the North American Virtual Console Tomorrow
I will definitely be getting this and it will be my first F-Zero game.

Re: Rumour: Target Will Sell Nintendo Switch For $299.99, 15 Titles Possible At Launch
That's a good price, and that launch library is huge!
Re: Awesome Games Done Quick Day 3 - Super Mario and Castlevania Triple Headers, and More
That Mario bros race was amazing.
Re: GameStop References Pokémon On Nintendo Switch Product Page
That subheading was great. Unless we are getting a 4th set of games like the DS then Gamefreak has to make this so they can get used to the platform.
Re: Feature: Ten Classic Games Which Would Be Great To Play On The NES Mini
If only there was a legit way to find one.
Re: Nintendo Switch Presentation Given Estimated Runtime of One Hour by Niconico
Wow this AND treehouse coverage? This is gonna be great!
Re: Poll: One Week to Go - How Are Your Nintendo Switch Presentation Hype Levels?
I'd say don't go overboard, but this is all they've been working on for the past year or two so...
Re: Hopes for Mother 3 On Nintendo Switch Boosted by 1-UP Studio Facebook Post

Re: Editorial: The 3D Effect - A Smart 3DS Feature That Struggled to Find Its True Depth
I never really used it. It made my eyes hurt if I looked at it for too long, and games ran smoother with it turned off. Not a bad idea, and it worked well enough. The concept might work better on paper.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai's Recent Toy Purchase Is Related To His Current Project
Maybe it's Starfox or Metroid? Either that or it's a new IP, and a new IP from Sakurai sounds great.
Re: Rumour: Mother 3 Will Be Unveiled for the Switch VC at the Switch Reveal Next Week
This would be a system seller for some people, the mother fan base is a dedicated one. It would probably encourage some people to at least look at the Switch too. I would buy it instantly if it was on Wii U, but it won't make me buy a Switch.

Happy new year! Let's make it one to remember.
Re: Rumour: Grant Kirkhope to Compose Music For Mario & Rabbids Crossover RPG
These Nintendo crossovers have made me try out a lot of franchises I haven't tried before like dynasty warriors and Tekken. This one doesn't sound so good.
Re: Fire Emblem Game's Development Outed By Voice Actor
@msvt
I think Awakening is a good starting point. It explains a lot of the basics.
Re: Fire Emblem Game's Development Outed By Voice Actor
I don't think a mobile title would have:
A. Voice acting
B. Tons of characters
And they probably want to develop a Switch game quickly so they can make quick sequels like they did on the 3DS.
Re: More Switch Rumours Emerge Online
The memory is on the low side, but everything else is ok.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th December (North America)
I want F-Zero X to come to NA.
Re: Rumour: Intelligent Systems Has Canned A Crashmo Sequel For Wii U
The fact that mother 3 never actually came out makes me wonder if Paper Mario was the only real leak.

Re: Niantic Increasing Gen II Pokémon GO Encounters Over Holiday Period
Not enough to bring most players back but at least it's doesn't make the game worse like almost all of the other updates did.

I understand why they did that, what I don't understand is the timing. This thing has been in development for years, why would you stop it a few days before release?
Re: The First NES Advertisement Has Been Successfully Preserved
This is pretty cool. While I don't think everything needs to be preserved, stuff like this is important.
Re: Video: Let's Learn More About The Super Game Boy
I never knew the Super Gameboy 2 was a thing.
Re: Super Mario Run's My Nintendo Rewards Are Live
This makes me miss club Nintendo a lot. Even only digital rewards were better than these bad discounts or digital objects. Buying games and getting games as a reward was so satisfying.
Re: The Nintendo Switch Power Debate is Back - Report Suggests It Won't Quite Match PS4
It's screwed if it's not as powerful as current gen consoles.
Re: Feature: The Wii U's Journey - Four Years of Excellence, Failure and Indifference
It was literally the best of times and the worst of times during the console's era. It had great games and an interesting idea, but too many bad choices from Nintendo doomed it.
Re: Rumour: Images Related to the Upcoming Fire Emblem Mobile Game Have Been Found in Miitomo
That doesn't show us much, but at least this gives us proof that they are working on it. The fact that they found this in Miitomo rather than the Animal Crossing game probably means that we are getting the FE game first.
Re: Video: Check Out Some Key Features of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
I plan on getting this around its release date. DQ VII is great and I've heard good things about this one.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Broadcast Time for January Switch Event
11pm eastern is reasonable. Sorry U.K., it seems like one of the three regions always gets the worst time.
Re: Veteran Publisher Majesco Exits The Video Game Business
That's a shame. I guess they stopped being successful after the DS era. Some of the mama games weren't that bad.
Re: Gen II Roll-Out Begins in Pokémon GO
That's a pretty good Christmas present from Niantic. Now if only I could play it while riding on the bus...
Re: Skylanders Developer Vicarious Visions Is Now Working On Destiny
Is going from Skylanders to Destiny a promotion?
Re: Video: You Really Need To See Miyamoto Jamming The Super Mario Theme With The Roots
Say what you want about Nintendo, but they have the coolest management by far.
Re: Review: Excitebike 64 (Wii U eShop / N64)
Based on everything this game has to offer I'm surprised more people don't talk about it.
Re: Video: Watch Jimmy Fallon Play Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch
They are making the right hardware choices, just make games for it!
