Minecraft being at the top isn't very surprising. It's the best selling game of all time, and it's infinitely replayable. Also, it's been released on every platform known to man since the PS3 and 360.
I mean, this is kind of in the same league as that DC: Superhero Girls game. I'm not going to complain about it because I'm completely outside of its demographic.
Probably in 2020, because that was the year that I played both Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. My favorite games, in order, are Yoshi's Island, Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto 5, Super Mario Galaxy, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
@Caryslan
I didn't read up on it enough. I saw the games and some other commenter's reactions and automatically assumed that these games were terrible shovelware titles. That's my mistake, and I apologize. I might try these games out, actually.
@nimnio I don't actually think that they are toys. I was just kind of annoyed that they stated that LEGOs were only bought by "rich and spoiled idiots".
Great, now man-babies who are failures in life and have never been loved by another person other than their mother can scalp them and sell them on eBay for hundreds of dollars.
@Clyde_Radcliffe Well, if you were forced to sit in one place all day, only getting to go outside during one month of the year, you would probably ramble about socks and stuff, too.
@JohnnyC I feel like they probably still had the Mario anniversary stuff planned, but they just had to delay it because of COVID-19, rather than it being thrown together to distract from it. Besides that, I agree with you. Also, it is a bit disappointing that MK8DX isn't really getting much attention, but it's still selling extremely well, so I don't think that Nintendo feels the need to do more stuff for it. Also, I don't think that ports often get DLC, especially if the original game already got 2 rounds of it.
@JohnnyC Please, just be patient. I doubt that Nintendo would overlap anniversaries. They'll probably do something for Zelda once the Mario celebrations are all wrapped up.
@Jokerwolf Makes sense. Also, I'm not trying to be racist or xenophobic or anything, but I don't think that China has the strongest copyright laws, so things like this happen quite a bit.
I cannot wait for this whole pandemic thing to be over so that I can go to Japan to visit this place. Although I have to wonder, how many wrist injuries will there be from those interactive blocks?
I got the game in May. It was just a magical experience, and it definitely distracted from the pandemic. Nintendo truly was lucky that their game got delayed and released right when everything went to hell.
For me, it isn't that huge of a problem. Maybe it's because I've used both systems for so long, but when I switch from my XBox One to my Switch, and vice versa, I automatically switch my fingers to account for the different button layout.
Apart from being confused as to why Hello Kitty is a gorilla as opposed to, well, a kitty, this looks pretty cool. I'm not going to buy it but I can say that this looks really cool.
TBH, none of these have any chance of being acknowledged by Nintendo more than a simple tweet. You shouldn't expect Nintendo to throw a huge anniversary for something like Pikmin or Kid Icarus. To believe otherwise is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Re: Switch Hardware Sales Beat Xbox Series X|S And PS5 Combined, Unsurprisingly
@Heavyarms55 I mean, I kind of agree with you, but then again, nobody predicted the pandemic or the chip shortage.

Re: Nintendo Download: 20th May (North America)
I'm absolutely going to pick up Miitopia. I had a blast with the demo, and I'm excited to continue my adventure.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles
At this point, Nintendo's just screwing with us. They're like, here's some SNES shovelware titles that only 19 people have ever played. Have fun!
Re: Random: Nintendo's Doug Bowser Introduces His Parents To Mario Kart 8 On Switch
@mariomaster96 I do understand why they didn't release DLC for MK8DX; It's a port of a Wii U game that already got 2 rounds of DLC.
Re: Last Year, Roughly 20% Of Switch Console Sales Went To Households That Already Owned One
I might get another one once the one I got in 2018 looks like it is on its last legs.
Re: Random: Fans Are Having A Field Day Reviewing Nintendo Switch's Calculator
It's so unnecessary and overpriced, but I kind of want to buy it. You know, just because.
Re: Video: Pokémon Launches New 'PokéToon' Animation Starring Pancham
@Kimyonaakuma They probably will polish it. If not, then at least we can complain about it on Reddit.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About E3 2021?
If Nintendo doesn't reveal exactly what I want in their E3 presentation, then I will throw a tantrum on the internet.
Re: Video: Pokémon Launches New 'PokéToon' Animation Starring Pancham
@Kimyonaakuma I mean, it's kind of dumb that you're saying that the games had no effort put into them just because you don't like the art style.

@screechums Says the guy who probably has multiple $300 "toys"
Re: Mario Kart 8 Becomes The "Best-Selling" Racing Game In US History
@Patendo Well, MK8DX is a port of a Wii U game that already got two rounds of DLC, so it is understandable that it didn't get any more DLC.

Re: Pokémon Happy Meals Are Returning To McDonald's In The UK Next Month
@Bearzilla823 Oh, well good. Hit those degenerates where it hurts, then.

Yes, I'm still bitter about the PS5.
Re: Rumour: Evidence Of A "New" Nintendo Switch Dock Supposedly Datamined In System Update 12.0.0
@duffmmann I'm pretty sure the GBASP was the upgrade to the GBA.

Dr. Shrunk is pretty good, too.

Re: Feature: These Japan-Only Animal Crossing Figurines Are So Darn Cute, Fans Are Struggling To Find Them
@HotGoomba I will murder you for saying that the best character isn't Isabelle!
But seriously, these are super cute. Too bad they're hard to find.
Re: Random: Story Of Seasons' Photo Mode Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
I'm so disappointed and proud of humanity at the same time.

Re: Random: New Study Uncovers The Most Popular Pokémon By Country
I'm disappointed in my country. Who even likes Gengar?! We need to be more like Belarus.
Re: Sega Tops Metacritic's 2020 Publisher Rankings, Nintendo Squeezes Into Top Ten
Who even listens to Metacritic? It isn't a very reliable way to gauge the quality of games.
Re: Anniversary: Nintendo 3DS Launched Ten Years Ago Today In Europe
Cheers to a great system!
Re: Mario Kart Tour's Next Event Is Now Live, Bringing Us A Second Yoshi Tour
@JohnnyC It does miff me a bit, too, but I doubt that they will do an anniversary of anything else other than LoZ.

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Island Tour Creator Is Now Live
Great, now I can show off my completely empty (except for some random Mario items near my house) island, complete with tons of weeds!
Re: Mario Kart Tour's Next Event Is Now Live, Bringing Us A Second Yoshi Tour
@JohnnyC Please, just be patient. I doubt that Nintendo would overlap anniversaries. They'll probably do something for Zelda once the Mario celebrations are all wrapped up.
Re: Review: Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville Complete Edition - Dig For Victory
I quite like the PvZ shooter games, and it seems that EA didn't botch this one too badly. I might have gotten this if it wasn't on Game Pass.

Wait, is this legal?
Re: Feature: 10 Pokémon Spin-Offs You May Have Forgotten About
@Zach I would prefer that we forgot about that one.
Re: Gallery: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - A Year In Pictures
This game came out at the perfect time, and kept a lot of people sane during the pandemic. Can't believe that it has been a year since.
Re: Soapbox: I Somehow Bought Over $800 Of Animal Crossing Crap In One Year
@Poco_Lypso I mostly bought LEGO Minecraft and Creator Expert sets. Rent isn't important, LEGO is.
Re: Soapbox: I Somehow Bought Over $800 Of Animal Crossing Crap In One Year
That's nothing. I bought $1200 worth of LEGO last year.
I need help.

Re: Video Games Have Never Been More Popular In The UK As 2020 Spending Hits £7bn
Well, I would imagine that you would play lots of video games if you were cooped up in your tiny studio apartment all day.
Man, I need to move.
Re: Animal Crossing Sanrio Amiibo Cards - Hello Kitty Items, Furniture And Villager Guide
@rjejr The one I like is that pancake bear thing. At leas hamsters kind of resemble bears. But a gorilla? WHY?!

Re: Nintendo Switch Is Getting Official Fortnite Joy-Con
I quite like the right one. It reminds me of that Tsum Tsum one where the home button has Mickey Mouse ears.
Re: Nintendo Of America Appears To Be Shutting Down Its Support Forums
@Wilforce The support thread is pretty good, but other than that it is pretty useless.
