Underrated title. If you are expecting a sequel of sorts to Yoshi's Island or even the Yoshi's Story remake Nintendo first showed with the GBA at Spaceworld 2000 (and never again) then you will be disappointed (honestly Yoshi's Story is a diappointment as well for those of us who were expecting the gameplay of Yoshi's Island). But If you play Yoshi Topsy Turvy for what It is,.ie, gimmicky micro level after gimmicky micro level, then you will have a great time. After you beat story mode, you will gain access to a time attack/score.attack where you play level after level randomly. That's when I saw the creativity and greatness of this game.

@moonblastx movies that come from videogames are movies and have to be rated as such. What make a game fun Is different that what make a movie a good product. To this day playing Mario Galaxy still makes me say wow. Not the movie though. It's average at best. The 2023 movie was nominated for Golden Globes If I am not mistaken. This movie on the other hand most likely will not.

@Anti-Matter Nickelodeon bought the rights to Garfield in 2019. As far as I am concerned, Jim Davis only retained the strips, everything else like cartoons, movies and merchandise are the responsability of Nickelodeon.

Assault is a great game but I think Zero is better. Assault is a linear story-based game with not meant to be finished in one sitting. Zero is a more traditional Star Fox with maps and alternate routes. Assault has fewer but longer levels. Zero has shorter leves and is faster and more arcadey. In Assault you have to get out of your ship, walk and return to your Arwing in case of emergency. In Zero your Arwing transforms so the process is a lot smoother.

Star Fox Assault is great. Almost excellent. I am obliged here to list 2 things that would have made this a much better game in my opinion: 1. A few more levels especially as this is a story-based linear game with no alternate routes and 2. The most important aspect: a Falco mode. What is a Falco mode you ask? If you pay attention, the only character that is never on foot is Falco (Peppy doesn't count since he stays in the Great Fox). So we would have an all-Arwing game mode after completing the main story

Overrated! Another scam from Nintendo. And I thought NSMB2 was bad, but It's actually a masterpiece when compared to this. Miss the days Nintendo games were good and creative and got at least an 8.

Considering the Switch 2 has sold about 17 million, I am pretty sure Nintendo expected way more than 4 million for DKB (this comes from the same people who made Odyssey, and It sold a lot, a lot better). . The overrated MKW is the best selling game for the system because of Mario and being a pack-in (despite being worse than many of its predecessors). And It seems like It won't be long until Pokopia because the second best selling game of the system, leaving DKB for number 3.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is shaping up to be an essential purchase... For nurseries worldwide.

Nintendo games (and yes, that includes Pokémon) are getting more and more expensive and rushed every time. Pokopia's innovation is to require players to pay $ 70 for a mobile-like game that will lock a lot of content behind live-service events.

"The problems are largely related to handheld play...". No, the problem is they are charging for an effortlless update that should have been free in the first place. If Nintendo can get away by charging 20 for DragXDrive and 10 for Welcome.Tour, you can bet that when they charge 5 dollars for something It means It was made with as little effort as possible to guarantee as much profit as possible.

"Pokémon GBA's Switch eShop release is a special occasion". You mean a $pecial occasion?

@Cyrax77 my opinion is my own and you are entitled to yous. I repeat: I don't think It's a good business practice to be obliged to buy something to play games that you are renting from Nintendo. So,.how many times did I say "I"?

Mario's Tennis for VB is more of a sequel to Tennis for GB than a modern Mario Tennis. Both were.developed by Gunpei Yoko's R&D 1 and not by Camelot, like all others. By.the way, there is a game missing from the list: Mario Spprts Superstars for 3DS.

Purchasing an expensive Virtual Boy shell and not owing the games gets a big no from me. Nintendo wants us to own some plastic but not the games. Shame on them and hopes nobody falls for this trap.

$20 for the combo would be expensive but acceptable. But $20 for each is absurd.

I could give you a list of the specs, I am sure you would love that. But I won't for a single reason: they really don't matter!

This game is as overrated as Mario Strikers Battle League was. What good is a fun core If there is nothing to do with It? Cutting costs and raising prices is no fun.

"as cinematic as they come" or "as generic as they come"? Over 20 years ago they made a more cinematic and better opening for Mario Power Tennis.

@electrolite77 the NS2 might be the fastest selling console so far, but only because Nintendo had millions of units available for launch, more so than any other, therefore meeting the demand of the hardcore crowd. What about the casuals? The console, games and acessories are so expensive that shopper avoided the NS2 during the holiday períod. You say the big hitters are coming. They might be. But in Nintendo's opinion, they treat NS2 Editions as brand New games. So It's unlikekly new games in these series are coming anytime soon. Nintendo is upgrading Wonder, so don't expect Wonder 2 anytime soon. The same with Animal Crossing. And where are my Gold coins? Where is the Nintendo Selects line? Why is Nintendo bricking consoles? Nintendo got away in the Switch 1 era by reselling WiiU games (some more expensive than the original release many years prior) because WiiU didn't find an audience, unfortunately. But reselling Switch 1 games for NS2 even more expensive is ridículous.

"Honestly, we're not sure what the heck is going on with that last point. Was anyone really expecting to see a console discount within the first year of sale? Christmas or not, that just seems bonkers to us.". Actually, the S2 failed so bad at Black Friday that many retailers discounted the console $50 in december. It was no good as the console failed again in december as Circana data will reveal in a few days.

"The Switch 2 is doing remarkably well'. If It was, It wouldn't be struggling and that's probably why Doug Bowser left (or maybe was fired or invited to live). Long story short: It sold well initially because there was stock available. After the die hard fans bought the console, there was no other group interested in purchasing the console: not the casual fans neither the expended audience, due to high price, lack of must buy titles (no, MKW and DKB are not killer apps when MK8 and DKTF are better games), lack of innovation/gimmick of its own, Nintendo anti-consumer practices and paid upgrades of Switch 1 games. Sadly, Nintendo will probably never be the Iwata Nintendo ever again, but If Ithe only thing It can do is rehash the Switch every few years, It will cease to be the Nintendo everybody loved and signed up for, and will become a souless mega corporation like Disney.

Are both Arcade Stadium 1 and 2 included? Or just the first game?

Love the series, but these games are more expensive than they should be. Most the Arcade Archives I bought on sale.

@michellelynn0976 It's selling so well that It was the.first sale on a Nintendo console in 10 or 9 years, I am talking about the 50 USD off after the Black Friday fiasco.

It's Nintendo's own fault when they decided to release a extensível console that can't move units just 6 months after release, so expensive It moved out of the family/impulse/gift purchase. I hope the NEX Playground can gain more ground so Nintendo can see the mistake they made. I mean, If Furukawa & co see It that way.

I believe hugely disappointing applies to everything Switch 2 in general: prices, anti-consumer practices, first party games and third party games and, of course, Skyrim is no exception.

DROP THE PRICE!

The voting list is missing 2 important NFS titles in Nintendo history: de 2009's Nitro and 2012's Most Wanted U.

@Switching are you living in the same planet as everybody else?

If I am not mistaken, Animal Crossing amiibo Festival retailed for 40 or 50 dollars with not one but two amiibo included and and even some amiibo cards. Imagine that. Nowadays just one amiibo cost 30 or 40 dollars, and they cost 15 back then. So this game was basically a 10-20 dollar game. I enjoyed It for what It was. It's easy making fun at Nintendo for selling this game because It was the WiiU era, but DragxDrive and Welcome Tour are much worse and got 8 and 7 from Nintendo Life, respectively, and both should have been free too. Remember Nintendo back in the day released the Mario vs DK amiibo game for free (you could play many levels as long as you had the right amiibo). Nowadays If you could visit Nintendo HQ I am pretty sure you would have to buy a 40 dollar ticket for a 30 minute visit, and using the toilet would require buying a DLC ticket for 20 dollars (I am trying to say nowadays they won't even give you toilet paper for free). That's what Nintendo has become.

Are those 10 Million units sold to retailers or sold to costumes?

Won't Nintendo make new games anymoee?

"After so many years of performance issues on the original Switch, I haven’t quite gotten used to the fact that most games on Switch 2 hit a stable 60fps and that modern third-party blockbusters run on it well".

I am quite certain that most games don't run at 60fps, I am talking about new Switch 2 games. If you count last gen games or Switch 2 Edition, then It's like cheating,.these games shouldn't count.

Another day, another Switch 2 Edition rumored/announced. Easier money for the developers than making new games.

Not too excited for this. Looks too generic for my taste. I might purchase depending on the price or on a sale.

Don't worry folks. The 2030 Switch 3 Edition will run at 60 FPS (Just like the PS5 from 2020)

@rvcolem1 remakes of both Zelda 1 and 2 please

Requiring additional hardware to play games locked behind a subscription paywall? No thanks. Now that I think about they should have gone for Game & Watch first, as a complete collection of these masterpieces (except the licensed ones) is long overdue.

It probably costs $20 to access the website. Any update from now on is going to be paid DLC.

Ridiculous. More expensive cardboard. The replica is also too expensive. Both are too expensive and can only bee used as long as you have an active subscription. As a VB fan (I own the original hardware and 8 games), I will only buy the replica if the games can be purchased separately. If the games are locked in an expensive paywall and the acessóries are worhless wothout It, a big no from me and another huge misstep from Nintendo.

@BTB20 with or wothout Rhthym Haven, It was a poor Direct. The games I am looking forward to the most on Switch 1 are Metroid and RH, that's why I would like a date. Nothing against Yoshi, Mario Tennis and Pokémon, but seems like Nintendo is pretty much repeating all Switch 1 games on Switch 2. All for a much higher price. Remember when we got Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy for 60? Now they want 40 a piece or 70 the bundle (SMG2 was on WiiU Virtual Console for the promotional price of 10 then rose to 20). And as a Switch 2 no-owner, no big titles or system sellers were announced. For Nintendo's most expensive console ever, I expected much, much more.

Worst true Direct ever?

I give this Direct a 5/10. Almost nothing to be excited about. And why was Rhthym Haven not shown? It Will be a long time until the Switch 2 is a must buy console.

Don't worry about performance, folks. The Switch 3 Edition will release in 2030 and update the game with PS5-level graphics and 60fps for the bargain price of $90 in a game-key card.

@jfp ok. How's your collection of US$ 80 dollars games and game-key cards coming along?

Don't worry. The Switch 3 Edition will have 60 FPS and improved visuals.

Magical Vaxation and Napoleon should have been localized to English and released in more territories.

Completely overrated, like most Nintendo games here nowadays. These Switch 2 Edition games are overpriced scams. There should be 2 scores: one for those newcomers (not recommended, get the $60 Switch 1 version inatead) and another for those interested in upgrading (not recommended either, $20 is not worth 3 hours of gameplay of remixed stages).

@Duncanballs Switch 2, unlike Switch 1, is overpriced and expensive. You are paying a premium to have a subpar experience (paying PS5 prices and getting PS4 quality)
