LMAO, they could have done this with LABO.
So crazy that they haven't changed a single thing that led to its failure. The games are fine, but everybody is going to learn just how awful this thing was to play.
Definitely not picking this up, then. The physical release forces me to buy a game I already have on the Switch, which sucks. I guess I'll stick with my Wii version.
Fun game! This is one of those rare examples where you can pick up the Gamecube version for peanuts, probably way, way less than this remake will cost. Just saying!
Billy Hatcher seems likely, as Sega isn't doing anything with it and the licensing can't be very expensive, since it was such a flop. Would love to play Doshin the Giant!
Emulators always used to be on the down-low, but people today seem to think you can get away with marketing them on high-profile social media platforms like nobody's watching. It's kind of hilarious.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Day One Update Out Now, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@The_Nintendo_Pedant Right, doesn't seem like "stellar timing" to me, either.
Re: Heretic + Hexen 'Update 1' Now Available For Switch
Incredible attention to detail and feedback in these fixes. Impressive.
Re: Do Bananza And Odyssey Share The Same Pauline? Donkey Kong Dev Won't Confirm Anything
It always makes me laugh when people expect Mario world to have consistent "canon" and lore and coherent timelines and such. It's extremely funny!
Re: Nintendo Museum Introduces "Limited-Time" Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary Ticket
Wow, exclusive pieces of paper.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
I've already experienced the Virtual Boy and playing it sucked.

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Super Mario's 40th Anniversary
Can't they please just turn on Super Mario Bros 35 for a couple months?
@TheBigK : agreed.
EDIT: I mean, I kind of get it that Nintendo is probably tired of having to trot out some BFD every five years for Mario anniversaries.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
Definitely not picking this up, then. The physical release forces me to buy a game I already have on the Switch, which sucks. I guess I'll stick with my Wii version.
Re: A Brand New Yoshi Adventure Is Heading To The Switch 2
@sixrings Nintendo acts like Crafted World is a replacement for Woolly World, but Woolly World is so much better!
Re: UK Charts: Nintendo's First-Party Switch 2 Games Continue To Dominate
Ha ha, people really avoiding Mortal Kombat 11 on the Switch!
Re: Gulikit Unveils New Premium Controllers Compatible With Switch And Switch 2
That d-pad looks like a dealbreaker to me.
Re: Could This Mysterious Super Mario 40th Anniversary X Account Be Legit?
This is just somebody hoping Nintendo will buy the account from them.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
Looks like an unfinished build or something somebody made in Game Builder Garage.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The Super Mario Wood Block Sets, Doubling As amiibo
@Yosher Pretty sure you just answered your own question.
Re: "We Answer To Nobody But You, The Audience" - Digital Foundry Is Now Fully Independent
Surprised by all the animosity aimed at DF. I had no idea!
Re: Timberland Is Teaming Up With Sonic On A New Range Of Boots And Clothing
Pretty underwhelming, low effort branding on the boots, and a fairly high price. That's a made-in-Japan price on a pair of made-in-China boots.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo For Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary
Would love, love, love to play Super Mario Bros. 35 again.
Re: Pac-Man World 2 Is Getting The Re-Pac Treatment
Fun game! This is one of those rare examples where you can pick up the Gamecube version for peanuts, probably way, way less than this remake will cost. Just saying!
Re: More Switch Games Reportedly Receive Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
I don't think Nintendo has ever put quite this much effort into backwards compatibility.
Re: Nintendo Has Seemingly Taken Further Steps To Combat 'eSlop' On Switch 2
This doesn't address low-effort asset flips, like, at all.
Re: Sakurai Gives An Update On 'Kirby Air Riders' And Pays Tribute To Iwata
I guess I'm just one of those weird people who loves Kirby Air Ride on the Gamecube, so I'm all-in on this one.
Re: Switch 2 eShop "Top-Selling" Games At Launch Revealed
Is the shop totally swamped with shovelware yet?
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?
A new Super Mario Maker, please!
Re: Switch 2 GameCube NSO Controllers Up For Pre-Order On My Nintendo Store UK
I think I'm going to go with the OG controller adapter option.
Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO
I almost hate to break it to everybody that Cubivore is... OK. It's really not all that great.
Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO
Billy Hatcher seems likely, as Sega isn't doing anything with it and the licensing can't be very expensive, since it was such a flop. Would love to play Doshin the Giant!
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of 'Drag x Drive' For Switch 2 Are In
Interesting, but seems almost like a pre-vis? Like, there's no personality whatsoever?
Re: Random: Did You Notice This Snazzy Switch 2 Reference In The Devs' Direct Outfits?
Love the grey Comme des Garçons jacket on the left.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th March (North America)
Care Bears: Unlock the Magic sure to be a banger, Game of the Year contender.
Re: Niantic Sells Pokémon GO And Entire Gaming Division For $3.5 Billion
Heartwarming to see people defend the House of Saud. Team Bonesaw, I guess.
Re: Poll: What Switch Game Could You Not Live Without?
I'm one of those Super Mario Maker 2 people.
Re: An Unofficial New Book Celebrating Mario's 40th Anniversary Is On The Way
Wow, it's pictures of Nintendo things.
Re: Nacon Expects Switch 2 To Launch In The First Half Of Next Fiscal Year
It doesn't really take a genius to guess that this will be a Christmas-targeted release.
Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' May Support Samsung's Upcoming MicroSD Cards For Higher Transfer Speeds
Sounds like a marketing deal.
Re: Opinion: Raise A Glass To The Nintendo DS' Peculiar Peripherals
I've always wanted the DS version of Arkanoid that came with the paddle controller that plugs into the GBA slot, but it's always so expensive.
Re: Talking Point: Where The Heck Are Those Metroid Prime 2 And 3 Remasters?
Great to hear that maybe they'll come out, and maybe they won't.
Re: New Switch Emulator Devs Are Jumping Through Hoops To Avoid A Nintendo Takedown
Emulators always used to be on the down-low, but people today seem to think you can get away with marketing them on high-profile social media platforms like nobody's watching. It's kind of hilarious.
Re: Nintendo's Black Friday Offerings Includes Discounts On Games, Joy-Con, And More
Wow, hell of a deal on Pikmin 1&2!
Re: Switch Accessory Firm CRKD Is Launching A Rather Unsavoury 'FOMO' Scheme
Same business model as Analogue.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Donkey Kong Country (GBA)
The muddy look of the North American release is weird, but arguably looks more like the actual game, LOL. I voted for the Japan version.
Re: Review: The Plucky Squire (Switch) - Enormously Charming, But Not So Plucky On Switch
Gosh darn it. I was really looking forward to this one.
Re: New AI Model Can Recreate Super Mario Bros. Footage, But It's Full Of Glitches
"New AI Model Can Recreate Super Mario Bros. Footage, But It's Full Of Glitches"
So, in other words, new AI model CAN'T recreate Super Mario Bros. footage.
Re: The Plucky Squire Physical Release Announced, Pre-Orders Now Live
Only the deluxe edition (and digital, of course) is available on US Amazon so far. I hope a standard edition will be available here.
Re: 'Tintin Reporter: Cigars Of The Pharaoh' Finally Adventures Onto Switch This October
Continuing the tradition of Tintin games never being very good, which is a shame.
Re: The Plucky Squire Physical Release Announced
I hope the physical release isn't through Limited Run Games, because I really want to get this.
Re: Sega Shows Off Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble 2024 Roadmap
Super Microtransaction Ball
Re: Funko Fusion New Story Trailer Revealed, Out On Switch This November
Absolutely not.
Re: Ex Chibi-Robo Devs Announce Spiritual Successor 'koROBO'
Oh lord, the graphics look so awful, like YouTube spam videos.
Re: Mini Review: Toree's Panic Pack (Switch) - A Third Pop Of 99¢ Platforming Pleasure
This is the kind of good cheap game that gets buried under a mountain of shovelware in the game store, unfortunately.
Re: The Plucky Squire Dazzles And Charms In New Sneak Peek Gameplay Trailer
This looks like so much fun. I hope it has a physical release that isn't Limited Run Games.
