the bald dinosaur joke had me dying omg anyways i agree totally, nintendo goes crazy with their maps. i for one am thankful cause i get lost really easily! dk bananzas maps have helped me so much 🥲
im going to still be focusing on 100% dk bananza, im currently more than halfway through. such a great platformer. also will definitely play Mario Kart World as usual with family. i NEED cataquack now! also @ShieldHero just reminded me i havent cracked open my copy of Mario Maker 2 in a while, so i may jump in and check out that level 😝
18000 switch 2 mario party physical copies is nothing to be ashamed of! i love nintendos domination in japan, i want to go to the museum and theme park there someday. someday…
this is the best news of the day, i hope we get more news about this soon 😝 i cant wait to see what secrets sakurai will unveil. @Grumblevolcano i hope not that would be exasperating i like getting my news all at once in an exciting event 💔💔💔
i agree with Alana, it was honestly disappointing. im really hoping the lack of information leads to a surprise direct in september 😝 had fun watching it on here though’
edit: i love the cover for this article
this is the only trailer that really captivated me other than the mouse one. story looks amazing, cant wait. no release date makes me think a general direct in august or september is on its way
definitely not a terrible month, but i hope more titles are announced in the partner showcase tomorrow! i will try the drag x drive demo and ask for kirby for my bday 😸
hope the people mad at the last update are happy!!! it didnt really bother me that much also does this decrease chances of a dk update in a possible direct this week 😭💔
you know whats something thats not sturdy on the switch? their game prices IM NOT A HATER IT MAKES SENSE WITH INFLATION AND COMPETITORS ARE DOING I JUST HAD TO MAKE A DUMB JOKE 😭💔
i think the developers are laughing and pointing at the confused and enraged mob of silksong fans. theyve been through some STUFF to get here. and now its casually playable at gamescom? also i wouldnt be surprised if it showed up in a Direct this week
ill get it eventually for sure, but right now mario kart world is great for a party game haha. im not gonna invest in the camera, but im sure ill love the visual upgrades and mouse minigames!
gonna be smashing through more layers of dk bananza. this game has blown my mind actually, surprises are everywhere, and its just so…addictive! i also mighttt jump and continue my retro zelda journey by jumping into Wind Waker on switch online, but donkey kongs very distracting! i gotta collect everything there first 😕 and of course, mario kart world with family @JohnnyMind have a good vacation!!! @ShieldHero oh my god i havent seen someone say theyre playing among us in a longgg time. i dont wanna talk about the money i spent on that game during its popularity. or my hours 😅 great online multiplayer though! @MarioVillager92 i havent tried master mode of the sake of being scared of the challenge! good luck with it!
ill get the upgrade eventually but not the camera 💔 i dont really want to spend money on it currently, but when family is over during the holiday season i may!
link and zeldas friendship is definitely platonic, no doubt. its always been that, and their friendship has developed beautifully. however peach and mario show more obvious signs for sure but the word of nintendo is the word of nintendo! i want a game that turns mario and bowser from enemies to lovers 😛
im a little disappointed DK didnt even beat MKW, but at the same tome its the most for a dk game, so our big ape is getting some fame at last! and also, i love how nintendo is just DOMINATING the charts, the august report will be fascinating
im really excited to see this rated, means more info shoukd come soon! i never playrf any other hyrule warriors games but after the masterpieces that were botw and totk this is day one for me! whenever that “day one” is ofc 😭
i havent played any other dk l games other than bananza (LOVING IT SO FAR.) but this list seems pretty accurate. honestly kinda surprised at bananza on top because ive seen many people say diddy kongs quest is better
looks like some good additions in the game, ill definitely get it eventually! seems like the dlc is really worth it. im excited for the mouse mode minigames, those look so fun. great review!!!
happy gaming nlifers!!! unfortunately im on vacation and i didnt wanna take my precious newborn (the switch 2) with me so nothing for me this week. i wanna go back to bananza tho. @JohnnyMind it always amazes me how many games u juggle at a time. i could never, its pretty impressive! @Jhena wow, already well on ur way to 100% it!!!! thats awesome @Vil as a person who never loved odyssey, i totally agree w u. ive been all smiles while playing
thats so cute! this is nice since im impatient and didnt get physical. i slightly regret it because the switch 2 boxes seem so nice and i love an extra collectible, but also digital IS easier 🥳
@TKundNobody “Added support for Nintendo Switch 2 Edition” Doesn’t it not come out until next thursday? I may be wrong about the update added for review copies, but just a thought 🤷🏻♂️
Amazing review jim!!! so it looks like its shaping up to be an all time great, even with its little technical issues. man, shame there isnt actual dolly parton, but excited to play it tomorrow! DK!
nintendo cant do this well im sleeping. what a nice surprise, theyre not bad!! zelda seems perfect, and link might be promising. i like how theyre not well known too. excited to hear more!
i really wonder if this means theres more content to be revealed, or if its just nintendos $20 rocket league? im not a big sports person, but ill try the demo!
