@SirLink Well that'll be a pretty long wait about a decade or so, it'll probably be for Mario Kart World Deluxe for the next Nintendo console.

Lol, why is everybody so bitter about this?
I'm sure half of you said to those critical of the Nintendo Switch 2 to "get over it", "touch grass", "let us have our fun", and "simply don't buy it."
Well, I say to those being hypocritical being somehow offended and bitter about Xbox; you do the same.

Classic bit-graphics with modern lighting engines, gradient colors, and 'fluid' animation? Hard pass for me, sorry.

As long time Nintendo fans, you should know by now that you should never, expect, wish, dream, or hope. You get what you've been given.

Geez, would you calm down a little? If you're not aware, this is an Anglo-centric/English language website.
And I'm sure most readers here might not know who they are but are probably more aware of the Wipeout show. I'm sure it's a fantastic Japanese TV network, but I'm also sure it isn't the western hemispheres fault that most of their programming hasn't reached their screens.

Challenge and growth? Who needs them! 🙄

@N00BiSH
That's good and all, but where are you supposed to put the screen?

I don't understand these 'Box Art Brawl' polls. Pretty much the outcome of the polls is that the Japanese (and usually the rare American) box art that shoots the others out of the water, and the sloppy European/PAL version is always dead last, every time.

If you're going to do these again, just don't even bother putting in the European/PAL version, it's a waste of time.

I think people seem to forget that 'delayed =/= automatically good'.
I'm sure there's plenty of examples, but the most prominent one that springs to mind is Duke Nukem Forever. If anything delayed could be more of a bad thing, there's probably more to it behind the scenes then "ironing out the glitches"; there could be creative differences, layoffs, deletion of concepts and elements etc.

@Olliemar28
Long time reader has a legitimate complaint/criticism and you go out of your way to snap at them?
Professional...

@8bit-Man If they're not featured in the game proper, I hope at the very least there's Marvel-esque post credits scene featuring them indicating they will be back in a sequel or something.

I was hoping it was Lanky Kong...

Correction: Men in Black was a gritty comic book/graphic novel before it was adapted into a comedy movie. So the proper wording would be 'Neuralyzer from the Men in Black franchise' not the 1997 film.
Pop-culture osmosis at work!

Wow! It's the games that I already own on PC and Xbox that have already been available for the last 1 - 10 years!
This time I can play on the go for about 15 minutes until I reach my destination, or in public where others can stare and laugh at me or rob me outright! Neato!

Now curated to the "Modern Audience"!

The only difference I can see is they put more attention on Ryu's nipples.

"If Duke Nukem is included in this deal, I could see someone going for it."

Very doubtful, as much as I would love to see him back in action with his parodic pseudo badassery I just don't think any studio is willing to bring him back after one of the most anticipated failure that was Duke Nukem Forever. And I know that the World Tour expansion episode for Duke Nukem 3D happened after that and it did okay, but in todays political climate taking everything at face value with no concept of parody and satire, the critical backlash/negative publicity would be undesirable...

Hmm, I know I'm going to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I'm thinking it has to do with them not wanting to make a Tomodachi 3.
Doesn't anybody remember the whole gay relationship controversy? And them promising to implement it in the next installment? Yeah, no doubt they trying to phase Miis out as a whole to quietly cancel any potential Tomodachi sequel so they don't have to keep any broken promises...

The more articles being written about him and the way he's constantly trying to find ways to be relevant despite him literally just being the RETIRED Steve Jobs of Nintendo with some outdated "funny" quips here and there. He's honestly becoming the "Kim Kardashian" of the video game industry.

As it would horrifyingly gross me out, it wouldn't surprise me if he had his butt splayed out on this new "biography" of his...

Geez, is it no wonder we keep getting stuff that we completed a gazillion times ten years ago on a different console or PC, when we get people having passive attitudes like: "Oh yeah, I've completed [game] a bunch of times on [console 2-3 generations ago], but I think I'll buy it again because I'll play it portably for less than ten minutes."? I'm just so bored of my Switch because it doesn't really have anything exclusive, except a drip feed every 1-2 years...
