@Anti-Matter Good point. We usually have the option to play without them. I think that motion controls were implemented in a much better way in Mario galaxy. They felt forced in Odyssey.
@thesilverbrick I agree but they really didn't expand much on MK8D. I wish they would release the smash 4 port with a few new characters/stages and just treat it as a new game supporting it with DLC
@Crono1973 Lol. Switch is okay. Lots of indie games and ports but some really strong first party games mixed in. I'm the kind of gamer that will play the same multiplayer games over and over again so I'm okay with the line up because of splatoon.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I didn't have a problem with the smash dlc for Wii U. The roster was already huge and I thought that the new characters were worth the price.
I would love to be able to play splatoon 2 online with friends as easily as I can in overwatch. I hope we don't end up paying for garbage. If the online infrastructure is anything like the current situation then it will be garbage.
Decent voice chat please. I honestly don't care about virtual console. Their statements about updating older games to have online multiplayer sounds more interesting.
Mario 3DW is currently my favorite. I think that it's the perfect mix of classic 2d Mario platforming in a 3d setting. I prefer this style to the exploration based gameplay of 64, sunshine, and Odyssey. But I love them all.
@electrolite77 Smash for WiiU came out in 2014 so I think it may be to early for a new entry. I wouldn't mind a WiiU port with better graphics, new stages, and new characters.
Nintendo's awesome strategy: release amazing multiplayer games that are a pain to play online with friends. I'm ready for them to stop making consoles.

Re: Mega Man Legacy Collection Might Be One Release on Switch
@Alikan
2 is amazing. It's also the only one I can beat! I can get close to the end of 3 but I die shortly after.

Re: Video: Get To Know Nintendo Labo Even Better With These In-Depth Trailers
@Biff_ARMStrong
I agree. I'm sick of motion controls. Nintendo won't let go. I hated them in Mario Odyssey.
Re: Video: How Overwatch Helped A Street Fighter Legend Overcome His Hatred Of Video Games
@Saego
I prefer to play mostly with friends because we can speak freely about making changes without anyone getting offended.
Re: Famitsu Interview Hints That Masahiro Sakurai Could Step Back From Directing Games

I agree. Maybe they will have something to say about smash at e3.

Re: Put Your Wallet Away, Mario Kart Tour Will Be "Free To Start"
Unrelated, but I'd love it if Nintendo made a 2d Mario game with the art style of the Mario kart picture in this article.

Re: Switch Now Has Three Times As Many Games as Wii U Did At This Point In Its Lifecycle
@Crono1973
Are you really this passionate about people's perception of the switch? I agree with some of your points but you are beating a dead horse.

Re: The Heavy-Hitting .96 Gal Deco To Splash Down Onto Splatoon 2 This Weekend
@sinalefa
Yeah. It's also good for killing people from above. You are right though, I frequently get killed by longer range weapons.
Off topic but I have to say it. I feel like the new music totally clashes with the art style of the game. I hate it. Lol
Re: Visual Novel Song Of Memories Is Getting A Western Release On Switch This Year
@Yasaal
Was that a Naruto reference?
Re: The Heavy-Hitting .96 Gal Deco To Splash Down Onto Splatoon 2 This Weekend
I'm just getting into the octobrush ( after being destroyed by it repeatedly). May give this one a try.
Re: Nintendo Software Dominates The Week's Japanese Charts
@roboshort
Hopefully so. I'm not worried yet. Still very happy with my switch being a splatoon 2 machine.
Re: Nintendo Software Dominates The Week's Japanese Charts
I hope Nintendo has an impressive E3. Nothing that I'm excited for yet this year.
Re: Sega Is Getting Ready To Show Us What's Next For Sonic The Hedgehog
I wonder if the Mario team could make a good 3D sonic game.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Riding High On Switch's Wave, But What Does It Need To Do To Stay There?

Re: Feature: Here's What Was Announced During The January 2018 Nintendo Direct Mini
I guess we'll have to wait until E3 for any big announcements.

Decent voice chat please. I honestly don't care about virtual console. Their statements about updating older games to have online multiplayer sounds more interesting.
Re: Soapbox: Let 2018 Be The Year The Third-Party Exclusive Takes Over On Nintendo Switch
I hope they have some exciting announcements coming soon. I'm not very excited by a new Kirby or Yoshi game.
Re: SoulCalibur VI Isn't In Development For Switch, But That Might Change In The Future
This is a game that I would rather play on one of the other consoles.
Re: New Stages, Hair Styles, Battle Mode and More Confirmed for Huge Splatoon 2 Updates
Awesome! Can't wait to get destroyed in ranked mode on the new stages. I can't seem to get past A-. I enjoy the abuse...
Re: It's Sci-Fi vs. Fantasy in the Next North American Splatoon 2 Splatfest
Sci-fi!

Re: 1-2 Switch Update Adds Video Sharing Functionality
This game is terrible.
Re: Talking Point: The Case for Super Mario Odyssey as the Greatest Mario Game
Mario 3DW is currently my favorite. I think that it's the perfect mix of classic 2d Mario platforming in a 3d setting. I prefer this style to the exploration based gameplay of 64, sunshine, and Odyssey. But I love them all.
Re: Random: Did Reggie Just Accidentally Reveal Switch's Next Big Game Announcement?
I don't like the way that the controls feel in any of the 2D DK games.
Re: Anniversary: It's Been 10 Years Since Super Mario Galaxy Landed On The Wii
I haven't played enough of Odyssey yet to make a decision. I think my all time favorite would be between Galaxy 2 and 3D World.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Targets an "Extra Nintendo Twist" for the Switch Online Service
I just hope it's as good as the smartphone app......may the Mario gods have mercy on us all!

Smash for WiiU came out in 2014 so I think it may be to early for a new entry. I wouldn't mind a WiiU port with better graphics, new stages, and new characters.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Halloween Edition
Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Overwatch.
Re: Blackbelly Skatepark Is Coming To Splatoon 2 This Weekend
Can't wait! I hope that they bring back more old stages.
Re: Talking Point: An Era Ends As Nintendo Continues to Ignore 3D on the 3DS
The 3D effect was great in Luigi's Mansion and SM 3D land.
Re: Soapbox: The Switch Has a Big Problem, and It's Too Many Great Games
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Yeah, I got ya. I guess I'm just a multiplayer game junkie.
Re: Soapbox: The Switch Has a Big Problem, and It's Too Many Great Games
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I agree that there aren't a lot of must have original games on the switch but I think that Splatoon 2 definitely counts as one.
Re: Team Vampire Triumphs in Latest Splatoon 2 Splatfest
Do you guys think that the Splatfest stages will ever join the regular stage rotation?
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - The Triumphant(?) Return
Splatoon 2 and Overwatch are the only games I play anymore. They are so good!
Re: ARMS Version 3.2 Trailer Shows Off 'Badge Stash' Achievements and Mysterious New Character
I really want to like this game. I love the art style but I always choose to play Splatoon or Overwatch instead.
Re: Brawlout Could Keep Smash Bros. Fans Busy on Switch Later This Year
I hope Nintendo just brings smash 4 to switch with more characters and stages. It was so good!
Re: Sploosh-O-Matic To Return In Splatoon 2 This Weekend
@OorWullie
I hope that they bring back the skate park stage.

Re: Splatoon 2 Version 1.1.2 Is Now Live
This game is amazing but it's still a pain to play with friends online.
