Oh neat, we'll finally see a legal bloodbath on this topic where the multibillion dollar company isn't on the side of the AI eliminating the need for creators with talent to create.
@Elitepatriot I had one for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe cause I like the idea of an in-home arcade (The Wii U was the best for this). So, this being the launch title, I brought it back out.
I like the gameplay premise. But I really liked ARMs.
I do wish they did a little more.... design work on the playable characters. If colors/outfits are customizable though, that would immediately nullify that complaint.
No separate version, but I do see playing it on switch vs switch 2 going a lot like Codename STEAM without a New 3DS or Perfect Dark without an Expansion Pak.
@1UP-HUSKY The controls work better in two player co-op. Where one guy has the gamepad as like a rotating turret, and one guy plays traditional starfox flying the arwing.
Had this happen with my nephew when he was four. Booted up 3D world plus Bowser's Fury. We played some 3D world and that went fine, but he wanted to try Bowser's Fury. I erased my save so we could start up a file (it's not a long game) figuring I'd progress as Mario and he'd play Bowser Jr.
@batmanbud2 aged great. Original is on the switch online app basic package that seems to come with the system now/is 20 bucks a year and gets you the ability to play switch games online as well as a boatload of other NES, Game Boy (Color), and SNES games.
If you don’t want to spend extra money on the remake, don’t. The original is exceedingly playable and available.
Same as the Jay and Silent Bob NES game… after a year or six months of release, sell it to Nintendo for data east prices so they put it on the NES app on switch.
Bit more: Universal Pictures sued Nintendo in like 83 because they had the vhs rights to King Kong, as well as got payouts from consoles with licensed DK games like at the time.
But years before that the production team on King Kong sued Universal for the rights and their lawyers in that case argued King Kong was public domain.
So Universal lost, had to pay Nintendo and pay back Coleco. Buuut, during the case, Universal released “Tiger Kong” which was a ripoff of Donkey Kong, and had to pay more.
And finally, the origin of the name according to Nintendo is “Stubborn Gorilla” was looked up in a thesaurus.
@TimeseaStudio that is amazing to hear. Like I’m likely to be day 1 for the premise anyway, but you get that, even just confirmed as dlc, 100% promise I will be a day 1 buyer. I’ll even pre order.
Mario Odyssey. Main game was only about 6 hours, but they were all fantastic. With post game and luigi’s balloon, I put significantly more time in. But the main game was great to just play and beat.

Yeah, I prefer this version. Release a transforming toy please.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Teleroboxer (Virtual Boy)

Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist
I'm guessing Metaphor
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Partner Direct Switch 2 Game In New Infographic
So I played the adventures of Elliot demo.
This is 2D Zelda with Final Fantasy Tactics Sprites in 2DHD.
And honestly, that’s pretty damn good.
Still would like a “of mana game” with 2DHD or even a “Tales” game (bandai), but I also really like 2d zelda games.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With A Mouse Game
@Joeynator3000 Mario Maker and Mario Maker 2 are basically the sequels. Undo dog and everything.

@Elitepatriot I had one for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe cause I like the idea of an in-home arcade (The Wii U was the best for this). So, this being the launch title, I brought it back out.
For a real challenge, use it in smash.

Re: Rumour: Iconic Studio Codemasters May Soon Close For Good
Okay... I'll give them 100 dollars for the rights to Linus Spacehead and Dizzy in perpetuity.
Hope they take me up on the offer.
Re: Opinion: Upgraded For Switch 2, ARMS Deserves A Second Shot At Greatness
@wuntyme8 You can play ARMs without motion controls.
It is recommended to play without them, honestly. Motion controls are when you're playing the game at a party with a few drinks.

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of 'Drag x Drive' For Switch 2 Are In
I like the gameplay premise. But I really liked ARMs.
I do wish they did a little more.... design work on the playable characters. If colors/outfits are customizable though, that would immediately nullify that complaint.

I want a double dash mode.
Re: Random: Not Even Horror Maestro Stephen King Can Crack A Good Pokémon Joke
When I was in college I was doing "peek-a-boo" with a friend's toddler. She kept saying "peek at you" and it did just sound like "pikachu".
As I was playing pokemon on my DS at the time, I knew I'd be blamed.
Re: Pokémon GO Promises It Won't Introduce "Intrusive Ads" Or Playtime Restrictions
They don't need to? They know the model already makes money.
Re: Talking Point: Will Metroid Prime 4 Get A Switch 2 Release?

You can, but it will be a worse experience.
Re: Opinion: Against All Odds - Why Does RPG RNG Hate Me?
Tried so long to get Kos-Mos in Xenoblade 2. I got Telos and called it a day.

Cause if they are, I'm going to wait until I see those.
But also, probably Totodile
Re: Konami Adds Incredibly Rare Slice Of GBA Ninja History To The Switch eShop
25 bucks? Nah.
But like... once this gets down to a sale for 10? Probably.

Re: Opinion: My Daughter Made Me Realise That Mario Wonder's Difficulty Options Need Work
Had this happen with my nephew when he was four. Booted up 3D world plus Bowser's Fury. We played some 3D world and that went fine, but he wanted to try Bowser's Fury. I erased my save so we could start up a file (it's not a long game) figuring I'd progress as Mario and he'd play Bowser Jr.
He wanted to play Mario.
That kinda killed any progression in the game.

Or give me tales of phantasia on the snes switch app.
