I wouldn't have ever guessed that was Lady Gaga. Doesn't look anything like her.

This game is great. I remember playing a lot of this on Wii U to satisfy my platforming needs until Mario Maker came out. I thought they already put this out on Switch, but if you haven't played it already it's definitely worth picking up.

I want that for sure, though I hope there's more songs and a freestyle mode.

There should have been list for other. The Japanese direct had a lot of interesting games not shown in the other one. My top 3 are Guitar Life, Denpa Men, and Mother 3.

Hopefully nothing interesting. I just play Switch Sports, and Mario Makers lately, that and Deep Rock Galactic : Survivor. And my backlog is enormous. The last thing I want to do is spend more money.

I don't like him, I don't really see why we need Disney in our Nintendo games. And as a Nintendo and PC fan I have no idea who this character is. Most of the games were on Playstations far as I'm aware, and the company behind it couldn't even be bothered to port over the old games to Switch instead just having cloud versions. I can think of quite a few IP that are far more deserving.

As cool as it is, these days you're better off just getting a VR headset (A Quest 2 is cheaper than a Virtual Boy) and emulating it or emulate it on a Wii or a PC or something while you wear 3d glasses, or emulate it on a 3ds. I'm all for paying for games normally, but Nintendo hasn't made any money on sales of this in decades, so I don't see why anyone wouldn't emulate them.

This looks fun

Looks good, just hope they got rid of that pick-a-lane mechanic from the other recent Sonic games.

I was leery reading that title thinking that can't be good, but looks like they stole Sonic's homing attack rather than the speed. So, this should be good.

I like the colors but the cartridges are so small it will be barely noticeable. Back in the NES and SNES and N64 days I'd just have cartridges all over, but Switch games are so small I'm afraid I'll lose them if I don't keep them in the case.

Smash 4 was the best and they messed everything up with Ultimate (at least as far as online play). There's no way to consistently play 2v2 matches as it changes the rules every match, and then when you're playing with people and you want to keep playing, you're stuck as the same character every round unless you want to find new opponents. They also got rid of taunts in online matches. They made it sound like it was trolly and annoying, but it's no worse than people ducking constantly.

That's not very surprising, last year Switch released 2,360 games, Steam had 14,532. There are a lot of gamers out there, but this is a bit ridiculous. Flooding the market can't be good.

@strongest_link The NES 2 aka the top loader

I like it more when they separate by platform, here the way it's listed I can't tell if those top 4 games are selling better than Mario Wonder or not. It seems like cheating when a game gets the advantage of a combined total from all platforms.

We had loads of shovelware on the NES, the only difference was it cost $50 bucks instead of $2

We always need more paper's please em-ups.

I like Electrician Simulator, or at least the PC demo was pretty good.

It would be nice to see more icons on the screen from the start, or have the ability to zoom in or out. Also, and it probably will be better with newer and better hardware, but the eshop is just too slow. And they should have a shopping cart to add things to.

I'm pretty satisfied at the moment and would rather not spend more money on another new console while my Switch seems to be doing just fine. I buy Nintendo systems for Nintendo games and far as I'm concerned they've done a fantastic job with the current hardware.

Every level in Wonder feels new and different, but to me, so did the levels in the New series, and all the Super Mario Bros. games before it. They were all filled with secrets and things to do, secret exits, something unusual around every corner, etc. so despite Wonder's seeming embrace of this, I don't find the unusual to be out of the ordinary for the series. I think the best thing Wonder has going for it is that it's the first new "Super Mario Bros." game in a long time, and as a non-New series game about 30 years overdue.

But I think Odyssey is the weird one. Flower kingdom isn't that different than the Mushroom kingdom but visiting Earth (or an earthlike planet) in Odyssey was totally weird and the capture mechanic made it feel like a different game.

Cool seeing Lego be a part of the popular murder simulator

meh who cares? GTA 5 wasn't needed to sell Switches, and GTA 6 isn't needed to sell Switch 2s. If Rockstar wants to make less money not selling on the most popular system, that's their problem. No reason Nintendo needs to worry about it.

I hope we get another Chu Chu Rocket and Sega Swirl. Also another Outrun would be awesome.

In Switch Sports I get annoyed when my Soccer teammates clump up together or the goalie decides to get up and run far away from the goal so when the ball comes around there's nobody to block it.

And in the Mario Maker games, they could really use some kind of progression system like exp. or levels or total coins, regular unlockables, etc. Seems like you should be rewarded in some way for passing more levels to keep the players more engaged, give them a reason to keep playing when they think they've seen everything already. Like you could get a new hat for every 100 levels you beat.

More Gungeon pls

@HaileySheridon I think that would be a lot of fun, the more the better. However, those being shows for little kids they probably don't want to put those characters in violent situations as it goes against the branding.

Full priced games are the worst, nothing I hate more than spending $60 for a game and realizing I don't like it. The sooner they go away the better. They're just preying on people who don't know any better, as if we're all made of money. If you just want to play a game for 2 hours and never play it again, still costs $60 dollars. Feels like we're all whales.

I want a Sportsmates amiibo, preferrably Lucia (the CPU Tennis player, she was previously the Table Tennis champ). And Jimmy from Wario Ware would be cool too.

I'd love to get it but since Nintendo announced the end of Wii U online, until March I'll be too busy recording Mario Maker 1 levels to play anything else. Plus I don't think this kind of game makes much sense for my channel; like Labo, and Ring Fit Adventure, seems like viewers are missing too much if you can't see what the player is doing. Looks like fun though.

@Serpenterror lol, well that's not going to happen. I don't really care if they make a sequel. I'm really more of a Mario & Luigi fan as I think the jokes are better, and I much prefer platformers. But either way I like Mario for the physics, if it was up to me there would be no story. If anything, buying it would encourage them to make more 1 to 1 remakes and I think those are pointless unless they make something fresh like the FF7 remake.

Looks like fun, but I feel like I've already played this. The graphics look nice, but I think the SNES graphics looked good as well. They'd have to change things up substantially or add a lot of new content to persuade me to buy it.

I don't think that's very likely. Even if the next few Sonics are really great, and more fun than Mario, people have been burned so many times that not everybody will pay attention. It's easy to pre-order a Mario game before it's even announced because Mario games have a great track record and it would be unusual if it was anything but great. Sonic doesn't get that benefit, as those games are really hit or miss, so I think people are more likely to put it off not expecting much or just plain not buy it at all.

I love Switch Sports but that Switch and dock sure is plain looking. A little color would have made it a lot better.

more slot machines please

This isn't a problem that they had with the Switch. SD Cards are cheap, you don't have to carry around a solid state drive like it's a PS5 or Xbox with file sizes that fill a drive with just a few games. No console has enough space if you really like to buy and download games, but having a micro SD card reader is the best thing they could have done, not a "significant weak point" like the article suggests.

people will complain about anything

I wouldn't buy either, the first has those goofy looking disney characters, the second one says Disney right on the cover twice. Not that I have anything against the company exactly, but none of those properties have ever appealed to me.

Guess I won't be playing that then. I don't like any of these Disney shows, but was willing to give it a shot if it was free. Oh well.

I've been seeing this kind of thing since 2015. It happens all of the time, some "rapper" wants to make some money stealing all the revenue from Nintendo channels who don't understand their rights and next thing you know all ad revenue is going to some "rapper". Even if you send notices to nintendo legal, they rarely do anything. The truth is, if you want to make a lot of money, it's far easier just to sample a Mario level and record whatever crap on top of it, and steal all Youtubers revenue than it is to make your own videos on Youtube.

For example, look up the Super Mario Bros. Theme: London Philharmonic Orchestra and Andrew Skeet. They don't own the rights to that, but they sure claim they do. Until you dispute it, which I'll bet rarely happens.

I can't imagine why anyone would pay for a beta for a free game. Obviously it's not really free, and if it's just in beta it's not good enough to warrant paying for in my opinion. If they think it's not good enough to release to the public, I agree. Let me know when it's ready and maybe I'll consider downloading it for free and paying microtransactions or whatever, until then, my wallet stays closed.

I just like seeing Switch Sports selling better than TOTK, 3d Mario, Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat, Splatoon, Kirby, etc. As it should, the game is great.

It wouldn't be Nintendo Life if people didn't complain about non-issues in Nintendo games.

GBA version for sure, with the e-reader content it's like you get the game plus a sequel. And the inclusion of Mario Bros. helps a lot, as I've always enjoyed the game and the Mario Advance one is easily one of the best versions compared to the arcade, NES, or Famicom games.

@HammerKirby it's because I don't have nostalgia goggles, I just played through the game within the last year or so, and it only took a few hours to 100%. They were fun few hours, but, there's no replay value. You compare that to any of the New series or Yoshi's Island even, and it's a huge difference. Having those extra things to collect, in this case purple coins and wonder flowers, makes the game way bigger and better, more interesting.

I want a reason to go back to Super Mario World. I loved those levels but unless we get into the hacking scene, glitch hunting or speedrunning, there's only so much game time you can squeeze from that, and me personally would rather play more Mario than less; Therefore the newer games are better because I find the physics and level design to be just as great as always, it's just more Mario.

Wow, I can't believe it's not better than the last Super Mario Bros. on the SNES. You can easily beat that game with no warps in just a few hours, hope this is longer than that. And it looked great, I'm surprised to see it's no better than a SNES game, looks way better in my opinion, not even close. And I'm curious how SMB 4 is better than 5 when there's no replay value on 4 aside from unlocking secret levels, you beat it and that's it. There's dragon coins but the game doesn't keep track of them. It's also offline, and the multiplayer is boring, and Yoshi doesn't have his flutter jump and there's no ground pound and only 1 character to play as unless you play 2 player and even then you can't choose your character.

I think it was a great game for 1990, but it seems strange to hear someone say it's a better game still. Like seriously what could a Mario game possibly do that would get the phrase the best 2d Mario game yet, rather than not as good as the SNES one?

I wish that whoever made these short animations, like for Wonder or what they did for the Mario Makers, would make a half hour series for a streaming service. With no talking, just grunts, yelps, and such.

@sanderev She's not a fantasy of a damsel in distress, she's been captured by bowser so many times now that you associate the two because that's how it's been for so many years. If she looked like anyone else, that's what people would think a damsel in distress looks like. You can't get kidnapped that many times without people associating your face with "damsel in distress".

I hope they buy Konami so they can get in on that sweet pachinko and nft money.

looks bad. looks like a regular person, which every AAA game these days attempts to do. So it looks generic, when they had something original.
