I have the American release of the DS game, and it's fun, if a bit... sluggish? Like, Starfy doesn't move very fast, which makes it a bit frustrating if you're used to quicker platformers.

Weird that Parasol Stars is being put out by somebody other than Arcade Archives? Really fun game.

Sounds like it runs a lot better on Gamecube, so that confirms that I'll be sticking with that version. It's not like it's a bad looking Gamecube game.

Since it's Limited Run Games, I'll stick with my Gamecube version.

Whenever I see something like this, I always wonder what's going to happen when or if the creators crash against the tide of copyright clearances.

In retrospect, Mario Party Superstars turned out to be kind of a ripoff! It was a full priced game and they never added anything to it. I really expected DLC for it.As it is, the selection of boards is paltry.

How about Billy Hatcher?

Will there be ads? And ads in between the ads? I'm just worried Summer Games Fest might not include enough ads.

There are already so many remakes and rom hacks of this game. This one doesn't seem all that special. I loved the 3D Doom/Zelda mods.

$60 is too much for a re-release. It's just typical Nintendo gouging. Remember when Nintendo had "selects" and other budget releases? No more, evidently.

LOL, this is hilarious. Atari probably got a great deal due to Tommy Tallarico devaluing the brand so much. And I guess the zombie Amico sham will keep lumbering along.

LOL, this does seem like clearing out stock.

I'd much rather have NES Remix on Switch, and I'm baffled that they haven't done it.

Coming soon: The Beany Baby™ Game®©.

I can never forget Funko throwing away $30 million worth of Pops because it was cheaper than trying to sell them. Just a terrible company pumping out mountains of garbage. Also: this game looks like a hot mess.

Oh, it's got a little board and a chip. Never would have guessed.

Faster, shovelware! Grind! Grind!

If an IP is popular enough, there's little or no motivation to have the game perfected by day one, and mayyyyyybe they will eventually fix it some, if it's worth the effort. This is just what the industry is like now. "We'll develop it about 80 percent of the way, and if it sells well enough, we'll develop the remaining 20 percent."

@ozwally Are you sure Saber made it out of this? Because it seems like they kind of sold it to themselves.

I don't think Embracer gets nearly enough credit for just how much damage they've done.

Hey, late comment and my answer isn't very cool, but how about Starfy? LOVE the DS game.

Bring back the "Seal of Quality" with some teeth, please.

This looks really, really good.

"Deck building" is a descriptor that always makes me decide to NOT buy a game.

Looks like a lot of "hurry up and wait" platforming. This seems awful but kind of funny awful.

So... does it run well?

Wow, there's a new solitaire game.

Always stunned by the mountain of garbageware/shovelware. The Switch even puts the DS and WII to shame.

Pong has had over a dozen actual sequels, and this isn't one of them. This reminds me of when Nintendo Life wrote about a Chinese Arkanoid shovelware ripoff and acted like it was a new, official Arkanoid game.

An HD remake of Billy Hatcher would be excellent.

TGA is an advertising event interrupted by occasional awards.

Upside-down levels in Super Mario Maker 2.

@SalvorHardin Well said!

I always wonder who died and made Geoff Keighley king.

Cracks me up when people get concerned about the VGA's "integrity".

OK, interesting, a new Tintin game buried in there amongst all the shovelware? Curious to hear more about this one.

This looks... really fun!

Counterpoint: spotlighting a shovelware game will increase sales.

Young, hot Poirot just seems so wrong.

It's funny that they didn't have time to send a review copy of the game, but had plenty of time to blanket the entire site with ads for it!

I found one of these in a trash bin and love it!

Ooh, good idea. They could name it something like Disney Interactive. Great idea!

@MS7000 You can't upload new levels anymore.

Such a shame about SMM! It's quite different from SMM2, unique in many ways. I'll miss it.

Kaepernick is awesome; I hope he got a huge payday for this.

Hey, off topic but wanted you all to know that N64 controllers have been restocked at the North America store for a few days now.

Hey, unrelated, but just a quick note to let y'all know that N64 controllers are back in stock at the US Nintendo store.

I'm laughing at this post because the N64 controllers have been restocked in the US for several weeks. I picked one up, like, two months ago, and then they went out of stock again, and then they came back, like, two or three weeks ago and haven't been out of stock since then. I don't know where Nintendo Life got the idea that they were just now restocked.
