@chiimaero Completely agree, such an underwhelming reveal, had they said nothing it could've still been more than what we thought in our heads and imagination, now they confirmed; it's bland, boring, no idea if it's faster or better or innovative in some way and we won't be talking about it for the next 3 months. I'm a huge fan, but the marketing team is not as good as it could be here, absolutely no hype or excitement is created here. And Mario Kart first look is also superunderwhelming. Perhaps with the full direct we'll be superhyped, but then this trailer is superweird in terms of scope and timing.
I hope they relaunch Professor Layton, with a celebration pack with remasters of the first 3 adventures 😍 Why they never did this before, I really don't know. 🥺 (Wii U was perfect for this btw!)
@garfreek Final Fantasy X is a masterpiece! I've played it on PS2 back in the day and then again years later on PSVITA, PS4 and recently on PS5, maybe I should buy it on Switch again 😅
The story, the battle system, the music, I truly love that game 🥰 Glad to see others enjoying it!
@Pod Boom Blox was awesome! We used to play with a big projector, throwing those balls at a hug screen was fantastic! Always wondered why there was no release in HD on Wii U (the graphics are very dated) A compilation of 1+2 would do well on Switch and would be superfun!
@OorWullie I feel tge exact same way, I love all 3D Mario games but for some reason Odyssey isn't as fun as I thought it would be, it lacks a lot of magic. In the open world we're getting very little variety overall but especially musically, there are no memorable tunes whatsoever, compare that to Galaxy, I can basically recognize all the galaxies by their own separate music. Glad to see I'm not the only one
@edcomics Came here to post exactly that! Rayman Legends is the best 2D platformer of the last 5 years or even more, period! Graphics, controls, level design, music, the whole package! Utterly fantastic! I hope there's a new one coming soon for Switch maybe?
I'm so glad this article got made, when I finished the storyline of XCX it was the same feeling like when I used to finish a game when I was a child, extremely rewarding and the ending was awesome, I also wish there was no cliffhanger, but it set in motion so many parts of my brain that are overthinking "But, what is all this then? " Truly an amazing experience. Everyone seems to favor the "original" on Wii, but I couldn't get into that one, have tried multiple times. My girlfriend bought me XCX ( I was hesitant to buy it because RPG's are not my thing really, but I had told her it looked awesome from the trailers ) In retrospect it is one of the best gifts ever as I have played it over 150 hours (probably the first time i spent +100 hours in a non party game.)
I was so impressed when i finished the story and then went hunting for an Ares 90, just such a superb game. I hope to be able to play a game like that again some day. Glad to see some people have enjoyed the same way I have.
Just thinking about it makes me feel little and humble again like in the game.
I've never understood why there was no Pr. Layton HD Trilogy remake for Wii U. Just use upscaled assets, put 1,2 and 3 in one box and you had a wii u systemseller at launch! I'm sure that game even exists somewherr in a vault and they just never thought it was a good time to release it. Think about it, the first 3 make PERFECT sense on Wii U, and it wouod finally allow for the beautiful art and asset of these game to come to full glorry on the big screen!
One game that is not on anyone's radar that I'm looking forwward to sooo much is Oddworld Abe's Odyssee: New 'n Tasty. I was so pumped to see that arrive on Wii U (one of my favorite games from my childhood) and now there is never any status update on it. Last we heared in April was that it would come this year, but no list ever mentions it Really hope it's not cancelled.
@edgedino I absolutely love this game, had so much fun playing this and my girlfriend got used toco trolling it with wiimote for motion on it superquick, but I would love to be able to use the WiiMote + nunchuck and we thought about how it would be mapped and there are defintely enough buttons And for online play, having nuckuck+wiimote would work too, superjump could just be mapped to a button and bring you to the player who's the gurthest away of the respawn point, and we can have a map on the screen, would be fine I see no problem! Goooooo Wiimote!
@Takerkaneanite6 Exactly! I'm a huge Mario fan, and Galaxy 2 was literally the best game I ever played. It was everything good about Galaxy 1 + brighter colors, Yoshi, new memorable songs and best levels I've ever seen and probably will see ever! 3D World, while fun was a horribly short, extremely easy adventure with a soundtrack that had some awesome tunes but nothing as majestic as Galaxy 1 or 2. Galaxy 2 is the bedt game ever made, period! (And I love all games, genres and consoles but Galaxy 2 was the one perfect game, a game that will never be topped because there are not resources at Nintendo right now to allow a team to take the time to come up with a lenghty extremely creative experience like that again!)
On our way back from Gamescom right now! So many people, insane waiting lines, 240 minute wait for Smash Bros! Didn't get to chance to play anything at the Nintendo or other boots for that matter. Lots of people at Gamescom but absolutely too little capacity at the boots :s Especially Nintendo, compared to the like 100 pc's at Blizzard booth, Nintendo had like 25 Wii U's Still had a great day with friends though
Hahaha, okay, Italy is a bit far I'm in Belgium! I don't know how it is in Italy but when I encounter really cheap games, I buy them, lots of them and then hand them in as second hand games and I get more cash for them than I originally paid! (Next time maybe you can do that to, so no need for ebay, just Italian GameStop or something similar )
@Luffymcduck Yes! Exactly! We need Oddworld games and Shovel Knight! (Remember, we were promised 2 Oddworld games, New 'n Tasty + Stranger's Wrath!) When??? Let's hope one of them appears next week. (So far there hasn't been anything really good this summer! Not on 3DS and not on Wii U )
I just finished playing, I'm done for now, need to sleep and get to work tomorrow! Great Mario Kart weekend, offline and online multiplayer perfect fun! Ari helped me out a lot, on purpose or not, bumping me in the gravity zones in Rainbow Road 64! For those still playing: Have fun!
I joined and had a great time! Thanks everyone! I just made an account on Nintendolife to post this, have been reading the website for a long time but never said anything. After seeing how positive this community Is I hope I can be part of it! Thanks again and see you again soon on the tracks of Mario Kart 8!
