I feel like normally you guys put the original price, it really helps me go through the list without looking at the eShop but it's not included this time:(

I'm sure the game will easily clear the 200,000 mark. I for one am extremely excited for the game to release! The demo was gorgeous and extremely fun. I didn't see many issues at all and I'm confident the YCG team will have them resolved by the full release

I've been looking forward to this game for a long time so I'm glad it turned out as well as I hoped. Will definitely be picking this up later!

I was interested in this but wasn't sure when I'd pick it up, but it's definitely at the forefront of my mind after that response. Love it!

Happy anniversary!

@FishyS some stores have demos. I found that my local Walmart had the demo before they announced it anywhere. It's locked to 10 minutes before it kicks you out, but a fun little taste

$5 isn't too bad but not enough features I'd use. The frame rate isn't even boosted which is a bummer and most of the things I'm excited for are in the free update. This is a solid "wait and see"

Played at Target Monday of last week, fans of the Warriors series will definitely enjoy this entry. Confirmed 10 min playtime

@UltimateOtaku91 Nobody knew up until now that TPC wasn't spending decent amounts of money on the games. Even Nintendo employees were shocked at how little they invest into the games when the sales are all but guaranteed and so no worry about profitability. Even though the Pokemon community has a loud, toxic minority, before this came out people were justified at being upset of the quality of the games due to TPC being one of the most profitable entertainment companies in the world. Maybe the budget leaks will curb peoples' disappointment, but more than likely it will help them see that what they should really be upset about is the lack of investment from TPC into the games

While I wish the game was more fleshed out, I'm really enjoying it.

Most NPCs are just standing around, but I find that alright in a lot of RPGs and especially in this one. I'd much rather see the Pokemon moving dynamically through the environment than just the NPCs. There's also just enough NPC movement to not make it feel off.

I wish they had more budget to work with than the measly $13M they had. The windows being 2D is pretty sad and I wish you could go into a lot more buildings especially the shops and cafes. This game only needed to sell 200,000 copies to make a profit off the development budget (basic math not including packaging costs etc), which I guarantee they've sold well over that in the first week. I wish they gave enough budget for them to polish the games like they deserve.

All in all, I'm quite happy with the game and really enjoy the new battle system and the actually fun online mode. There's funny bits of dialogue to be found all over and the mechanics of everything are enjoyable. Hoping the DLC adds quite a bit more to explore and do, but I haven't regretted buying this game at all (unlike Violet which I regretted even after buying it a year-plus after release)

This looks good but it better end up being $60 or less, otherwise I think I'll wait until a sale. I really enjoyed Tennis Aces but still found it a bit hard to stomach the $60 then

Is the physical fully on the cart or is it a game key card? That'll determine if I buy it right away or hold out

The only way I'd pay $70 for this is IF it was limited time only, because I paid for 3D All Stars and recouped the price

Too early for this type of list but laughable that Silksong is the best "Switch 2" game. Yes the hype was ridiculous, yes it's a good game, but calling it the best on the system and also insinuating it makes the best use of the systems capabilities is just a farse. Not in any way saying it's a bad game, in fact it's great, but the #1 "Switch 2 game" just doesn't ring true to me

Thank you for the review! I was intrigued by it being in the top 5 eShop digital only titles for the week and figured it must have been very good. Might look at picking it up now

Personally expecting at least new trailers for Hades 2 and Cosmic Invasion, hopefully with release dates. Hoping for Blue Prince as the console is more than capable and it would honestly fit well, and then hopefully lots of Level 5 release dates (without delays please)

With all the issues and crashes and negatives in the review, respectfully what does it take to get lower than a 4? I don't think it should be rated based on promise or "coulda shoulda woulda" or on the off chance it works as intended, based off the issues I think we should be looking at a 2 or 1 star. Kinda the same as Calico when it came out, you could see the promise and vision, but the game itself was definitely terrible

Big fan of DK Spaceport, Peach Stadium, and Dry Bones Burnout. They're all incredibly fun and visually appealing and in my opinion Dry Bones Burnout is one of the most difficult tracks

This is awesome and it's great that it has Gameshare!

@chardir Shouldn't be a surprise, they literally said in the Direct and on the website that it would be released late April 2025. Much clearer marketing than any of the Switch 2 launch fiasco

@AlleyCat I'm in the same boat. I use my "secondary console" more portably than I do my "primary console", which makes it a huge hassle to get online verification that I can play my own game. I much prefer it this way. Yeah it sucks that the online family play was lost, but it's a lot more fair to Nintendo and much easier to load games between consoles.

@Max_M exactly the same here, we saw almost nothing new and it just convinced me I should be buying the bundle, nothing shown made this worth $80, and maybe not even worth $70

That was horrible. They said "wait for the Mario Kart Direct" then we'd understand the $80 pricetag, and we learned minimal new information. This only convinced me I should be buying the bundle, because I find it hard pressed to pay more than $60 for this

How does Gamechat invites and accepting invites work? In the trailers and on the website they've never shown how to invite anyone, and there didn't seem to be a button for it on the C menu on the trailers. They only showed right after the girl invited her other friends. It also never showed how to accept invites I don't think (though I could be wrong on that)

@EarthboundBenjy Using the new Virtual Game Card feature this should not be an issue. Once you transfer and download the "Virtual Game Card" on your secondary system, you no longer have to connect to the Internet to play the game

Have they considered selling home screen themes via Platinum Points?

How much of a dip in quality will you get when using online Gameshare?

When can we expect more info on Donkey Kong Bananza?

@RupeeClock exactly, Nintendo seems to understand it should only be used as a tool to help in development, without taking away from the abilities of the creators

To me, I think the $80 is too high even how they're justifying it because there are much more expansive games that I assume will still have more to find than Mario Kart World. TOTK and BOTW have numerous collectables and secrets and they were only $70 and $60. Not to mention to get the most out of this game you also have to pay for NSO. Elden Rings and other single player games are massive and still haven't crossed the $70 mark, so this being $80 and you have to pay for NSO is a gut punch
