I would have preferred a new Mario Kart game with original tracks based on other Nintendo franchises. They may as well start a Nintendo Kart series now Link and the Inklings are included
@Kidfunkadelic83 I'm not getting into Odyssey either. The characters are cute but the game as a whole isn't grabbing my attention. I love 3D World and Mario 64 so I don't know why this isn't doing anything for me.
Some of these comments are shocking. Accessibility options should come as standard, not as an afterthought. And Nintendo is right to be criticised for adding gimmicks without accessible options
Typical senior management thinking: take away what works and makes people happy, have loads of meetings, then pat themselves on the back when they claim they listened to people all along.
@Crono1973 Are you selling your games on eBay? I have a couple I want to sell but I've heard too many horror stories of scammers claiming they never got the item and getting refunds. Gumtree is bad enough with people trying to get you to post things out when your ad clearly says "collection only"
@RoguePirate the UK is obsessed with GTA V and I will never understand why. They will literally buy any and every iteration of it multiple times. It's bizarre!
I would give it a 4/10. The music and art style are good but the gameplay is very shallow. It's only towards the end does it get interesting and puzzle elements are thrown in instead of mindless swallowing things up with the hole, which is a shame because it's a fun idea for a game. The characters and dialogue are terrible. Only buy this if it's on sale.
I still resent paying full price for the Switch ports of Wii U games. Nintendo could have offered us loyal fans a discount for buying the originals and supporting their failed console...
This reminds me of when Black 2 and White 2 came out and people thought you had to buy the opposite colour version to what you had (Black 1 and White 1). I can understand that logic because people might think the opposite version pass "completes" their game by having the 2 different versions as 2 halves of the same game.

Re: Random: Indie Dev Giving Away Free Game Codes Until Nintendo Closes Wii U & 3DS eShops
An absolute crime to shut down the 3DS shop when it has a bigger library than Switch and is still very popular
Re: Mario Kart Tour For Mobile Has Now Made Close To $300 Million In Revenue
I can't get into this game and I love mario kart. I'm surprised it's made so much money
Re: Soapbox: Endless Zelda Remakes Are A Poor Substitute For Backwards Compatibility
The only Zelda game that needs a remake is Zelda II. LA was cute but apart from the graphics it was virtually identical to the GBC version.
(I'm still annoyed we had to pay full price for Switch ports of Wii U games while PS5 owners got free upgrades from PS4.)

Respect to the man for doing this but the artwork isn't great. The proportions of the woman's face on the cover are wrong

I used to play this for hours on SNES but when I tried it again on Switch I couldn't get past the first Special Cup track.

It's SEGA not SEGGA
Re: Random: Many At Retro Studios Weren't 'Excited' To Work On Mario Kart 7
And it shows. MK7 feels quite barebones compared to other games
Re: Mini Review: Dr. Mario 64 - Diagnosis: A Bit Rubbish
I hate this game so I agree with the review lol
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet Announced, Releasing Worldwide On Switch In "Late 2022"
@Edwirichuu I will never understand why fans buy the same game twice every launch
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet Announced, Releasing Worldwide On Switch In "Late 2022"
Why have they gone back to 2 versions of the same game? It's redundant now
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The February 2022 Nintendo Direct - Every Game Reveal And Trailer

Re: My Nintendo Physical Rewards Have Disappeared In North America
UK My Nintendo hasn't had anything new for a while. Why aren't they printing more posters at least?
Re: Anniversary: Can You Believe It? Super Mario Odyssey Is Now Four Years Old
@Kidfunkadelic83 I'm not getting into Odyssey either. The characters are cute but the game as a whole isn't grabbing my attention. I love 3D World and Mario 64 so I don't know why this isn't doing anything for me.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Reveals His Next Game, Haunted Chocolatier
Meh, it doesn't grab my attention. It just looks like SV in a different setting and I've already played that game to death.
Re: SNES Classic Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja Is Getting A Proper Remake On Modern Consoles
The "updated" graphics don't resemble the feel of the original at all.
Re: Feature: Steven Spohn On Strides In Accessibility For Gaming, And Nintendo's Room For Improvement

Re: 10 Best Wii U-To-Nintendo Switch Ports
I'm still bitter we didn't get Switch version discounts for owning the Wii U versions. PS5 owners get free upgrades for their PS4 games...
Re: Random: Someone's Transformed A Pokédex Toy Into A Fully-Working Nintendo DS
@Xiovanni Obviously it would be adapted lol
Re: Random: Someone's Transformed A Pokédex Toy Into A Fully-Working Nintendo DS
I would buy the heck out of an original (Dexter) Pokedex mod.
Re: Best Mario Music Ever: Our Top 10 Mario Songs - Super Mario Playlist
No Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island or Super Mario Kart tracks...
Re: Soapbox: Music Just Don't Come Spookier And Sadder Than Zelda: Majora's Mask
This is a well written article!
MM is the strangest Zelda game so it's fitting that it has the strangest soundtrack. It's sad and moving at the same time.
Re: Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX Bundles Both Games On Switch, And It's Launching This Year
I can't wait! What a great surprise. I hope they have physical editions.
Re: Video: Check Out This Fan-Made Remaster Trailer For Banjo-Kazooie
I don't like it. The realistic trees, sky, water etc clash with the cartoon style graphics, which also have realistic textures.

Re: Talking Point: Million-Dollar Retro Game Auctions Help Remind Us What Matters Most
@Savino whoa Super Mario World has not aged a day since its release. You need to teach your son some respect!!! Lol
Re: Wah! A Free Demo For WarioWare: Get It Together Is Now Available On Switch
@anzzjam Zelda 2 is worse than BotW by far. It's aged badly too!
Re: A Special Pokémon Dialga & Palkia Edition Nintendo Switch Lite Launches This November
Very dull design. They could have added highlights on the buttons at least
Re: What Do You Want To See From The Dragon Quest Series In The Future? Square Enix Wants To Know

Re: Universal Studios Hollywood Is Now Selling Super Nintendo World Merch
Boring. Looks like the same merch you can buy from any toy shop.
Re: Talking Point: Every Pre-BOTW 3D Zelda Now Has A Remake, But Which Is Best?
@SlowPokemon Yes everyone who disagrees with you is a neckbeard. Great debating skills!
Re: Talking Point: Every Pre-BOTW 3D Zelda Now Has A Remake, But Which Is Best?
MM 3D butchered the original. Why would you change the Zora mask to only have fast swimming when using magic?
I'm sad I won't be able to fully experience WW HD now that Miiverse is gone
Re: Pokémon Unite Is Out Today, First Ranked Match Season Now Underway
I hated it. It's already full of whales who buy the best gear to dominate matches
Re: Nintendo Has Added Another GBA Course To Mario Kart Tour
@RoguePirate the UK is obsessed with GTA V and I will never understand why. They will literally buy any and every iteration of it multiple times. It's bizarre!
Re: Review: Donut County - A Sweet Little Puzzler In Need Of Extra Filling
I would give it a 4/10. The music and art style are good but the gameplay is very shallow. It's only towards the end does it get interesting and puzzle elements are thrown in instead of mindless swallowing things up with the hole, which is a shame because it's a fun idea for a game. The characters and dialogue are terrible. Only buy this if it's on sale.
Re: Does Your Copy Of Pokémon Omega Ruby And Alpha Sapphire Still Work?
Conspiracy theory - they made them deteriorate on purpose so everyone must buy Pokemon Home subscriptions
Re: Video: Pokémon Fan "Fixes" Diamond And Pearl Remakes With This Slick Concept Trailer
The chibi art style is cute. But the overall graphics quality is not OK. It looks 3DS level not Switch level.
Re: Poll: Do You Like The Chibi Art Style In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl?
The chibi models are cute but the environments look so bland and the colours are flat. It needs more detail to make things pop

Re: Nintendo Unveils Brand New 'Mario Red & Blue' Switch Console

Re: Sega's Sonic Double Packs Are Out Now On Nintendo Switch
Why did they pick Team Sonic Racing over Sonic Racing Transformed? They're being stingy by not having the Plus version of Sonic Mania too.
Re: Review: Pokémon Sword & Shield - The Crown Tundra - Great New DLC Marred By Decades-Old Design
Sounds lacking just like Isle of Armor and the base game. I'll save my £27
Re: Shiny Wailord Appears In Pokémon Sword And Shield Max Raid Battles For A Limited Time
As usual the y comm system ruins your chances of even joining a raid due to its ridiculously slow feed updates.
