Prizm

I stopped playing. It constantly has connection problems, throwing up the old "A communication error has occurred" message that infuriates the hell out of anyone that plays Mario Kart 8 DX online.
The app drains battery like there's no tomorrow. And I got sick of losing to people who have purchased items to help them win.

I appreciate the hardware update that has caused the battery life to improve, but I rarely use it handheld anyway 🤔

I just sold my Switch last week because I knew they were coming out with a revision. This revision is not worth an immediate buy for me, so I'll wait till Mario Kart 9 (unless Metroid 4 turns out to be any good).

lol what did you expect with such a stupid name? 🙄 Don't people get it that you don't bend the rules with Nintendo or try to to skirt as close as possible. They will screw you over.

Yes, he says he reuploaded similar named files previously, but chances are Nintendo did not manually check them. I doubt it was intentional by Nintendo to allow them.

It looks really neat, but I'm not a collector of this sort of stuff.

Even if I bought this, I wouldn't want two variations of the same scene though. Why not make the fire version a totally different location, and that way I'd be more inclined to buy both rather than just picking one? 🤔

Anno 1800 for PC. I sold my Switch this weekend 😅
I'll get the refreshed Switch when it comes out (I'm sure there'll be at least a minimal refresh to improve screen size ratio, increased storage, etc).
Hopefully that'll be around the time Mario Kart 9 is released.

To be honest, it looks like its missing a faceplate with that bezel design 😅

I don't have the game, but can you effectively filter out all the garbage? 🤔

We wouldn't need SNES games yet if they'd just release some damn NES games that are actually good 🙄

Shutup and make a sequel/reboot already 👍 Your reason not to do it is invalid.

Then we're on the same page, because I don't want to have to buy new controllers and the same games again with the a new generation.
As long as they keep Switch up to date with hardware refreshes, then I'm happy for the ecosystem to stay the same.

I just went and watched the first english trailer... man that trailer is full of cringe 😖 It's like watching the translated portions of a Nintendo Direct. Is Nintendo absolutely hopeless at creating an exciting voiceover in Japanese in the first place?
Why not just do a proper English trailer rather than one that sounds like it's been directly translated from Japanese with zero emotion or timing?

Good, it helps stop so much garbage. Extra levels can be a reward for creators who have highly-rated courses.

Some people are genetically predisposed toward self-destruction

Even as a kid when the NES was in its prime, I would not have touched this crap...

With these rumors becoming more and more substantiated, I'm selling my Switch ASAP and will get the Switch Pro at some point after it comes out. I'm not really looking forward to any games until Mario Kart 9 anyway, so I'm not in a rush.

@Galarian_Lassie - Oh, I should've made it clear - I meant the PC version of Sonic Racing.

Leisure Suit Larry - now there's a name I haven't heard for a while 😂

Don't fall for the "30fps is fine" mantra. I bought Sonic Team Racing when it came out, and after playing it once, it's now collecting dust 😣

30fps is sub-standard for any action game, but for racing games it's the absolute pits. It's not just the smoothness of motion that's affected, it also affects how responsive your controls feel. The choppy frame rate makes the controls feel less sharp.
I'm almost tempted to buy the PC version, but it sucks to play games like this on PC.

That looks so cool! 👍 But I bet if that came out when I was a kid, it would've been one of those super expensive toys that other kids always seemed to have 😅

PacMan sucks 😅 They throw crap like PacMan and QBert in movies because it's a cheap video character, but nobody really cares about them. Bargain bin fodder.

@Jokerwolf @Heavyarms55 @Damo - If I die that young, I sure hope people care enough to actually ask why.
Anyway, when the media doesn't tell you why a person died relatively young, that usually means it was self-inflicted in some way.

"Passed away" from what, exactly? 🤔🙄

Whenever Sony and Microsoft talk about Nintendo, it’s always like they’re patting a dog on the head that they feel sorry for, but don’t really want the responsibility of looking after 😅

@Damo - Stop being disingenuous, it's a misleading headline and you're just digging your own hole by trying to defend it.

@KingKRoolMain - The joke was rather cringy, they overplayed it big time.
The video editor of these Directs really needs to tighten things up. Even the finger-snapping shots linger a bit too long and the executive is left staring at the camera with his fingers in the air 😶

All I saw was game after game with yesterday's graphics 🙄 (or simply games FROM yesterday)
And OMG, that old guy in Astral Chain with the plastic hair 😂
I felt like I was in 2009.

Almost the only games that genuinely looked good were Nintendo's own because they build the games from scratch with the Switch's limitations in mind. Rather than porting a AAA game and setting the AAA-intended graphics to potato.

Yeah it’s all stale. Probably the only thing that would make me interested in watching some of it were if they introduced completely new games for the players. But even then, the games would have to be a big deal themselves.

I absolutely loved the art style of Cuphead, but just got sick of the grinding, unrelenting challenge of bossfight after bossfight. The beautiful art kept me going for a while but the nature of the game just stopped being fun and I never finished it 😕

Sonic and Mario at the... YAWWWWNNN sorry, where was I? 😴

Might have to check out the new season... sadly most Black Mirror episodes are much better than the latest Twilight Zone reboot 😕

lol that was great 😂 😂
Don’t get your panties in a twist, fanboys 😅

Gosh, the graphics barely looks better than 3DS 😐 And the video was uploaded in 60fps, except the game itself looks 30fps 🤔
Overall, I’m very unimpressed.

I bought Sonic Racing and now I regret it 😖
I knew the frame rate was bad and wasn't going to buy it, but some reviews were saying it's a great game, you won't notice the frame rate issue after a while, etc etc.
Yeah well, it plays like a PC with an inadequate video card. The lack of decent frame rate makes the game feel laggy or sluggish. It's just not enjoyable for me. I will not make the same mistake again. At least I got it on sale (physical copy).

The plastic ruins it 🤔

@60frames-please - I agree. I was looking forward to this, but straight away you can tell the frame rate is crap 😣 It looks even choppier than Sonic Racing.
I don't get it - this is a Playstation trailer...they can't even get it running at 60fps on the PS4? 🤔

I had the special edition copper brown Ouya. It looked really nice. But the games weren't that great, and the audio lagged by about half a second for every sound effect.
I could see on the horizon that things were starting to stagnate, so I jumped ship and sold it while people were still willing to buy it.

30fps? FAIL. What a disappointment after looking forward to this game. No purchase from me 🙄

So is he wearing one of those dog cones that stop dogs from pulling out their own stitches? 🤔

😂🤣 oh Nintendo, you kill me by pretending to release this shovelware 😂😂
C'mon seriously though, what's the new Nintendo games this month?

If online sharing/usability is poorly implemented, this game's potential will be severely hindered yet again 🤔

Gosh, that Mii in the picture really makes this game look 10 years older than it is 🙄

@wal - I agree, I think it would be a bad move for Nintendo to release a track editor for Mario Kart.
It cheapens the brand and floods it with garbage. Online play would suck because you'd all have to have the same track downloaded, and they'd have to be approved by Nintendo in case they're unfinished, offensive, etc. It would be a nightmare.
Some fan-made tracks will definitely be amazing gems but I think overall a track maker would harm the series.

Mario Maker has already cheapened 2D Mario games, and it's killed any chance of a new official 2D game for a long time. Now if Nintendo wanted to do another 2D Mario, it would have to be years down the road and it would have to look completely different in order to distinguish it from fan-made courses.

MK8 DX is not the end of the line. Nintendo can always think up a new concept or ideas for MK9 if they wanted to. Or they can simply focus on DLC tracks.

The last half hour is nonsense, but it's worth a watch for any fan. Just seeing all the high def Pokemon is neat. It's not aimed at younger kids though.

@Zequio - Play the original game and see how it compares

@Link-Hero @Zequio @NintendoFan4Lyf -
Regarding collision detection, which part is the problem? SML always had slightly ‘off’ collision detection, where (for example) your Mario sprite passed through a brick when you jumped off-center to the brick.

The ROM creator would also have to work within the same original tile size for the mario sprites, so they wouldn’t have been able to make the sprites more than a couple pixels bigger, if that.

When I first bought the original Gameboy with Super Mario Land, it annoyed me as I thought I was getting a cheap ripoff of a Mario game. A fireball that only bounces once, turtles that explode instead of being able to kick their shell... WTF?? 🤔
But I realized that those were likely changes to suit the limited hardware, and the small sprites were a result of programmers not yet fully knowing how to get the most out of the unit.

The game has its own special charm and still has my favorite Mario soundtrack. I played it for countless hours.

Good on them for trying to make it better. How did the movie get this far without someone saying "WTF is up with Sonic?" 🤔
But I guess hollywood is used to ignoring fans and making up their own garbage.

I'll sell my Switch and games so I can buy a new one and get 1 free game 👍

Honestly, I just want to see more Jim Carrey. It might end up being a watchable movie with an amusing bad guy vs a blue alien. But either way, that character doesn't seem like Sonic. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, though.

From the screenshots, it looks like a beta mobile phone game 🤔 Or something made with GMOD.

As for some of the tracks being short, Mario Kart is a big offender here. I felt ripped off with how short some MK tracks are.
