@bydavidrosen Yes! Wizards & Warriors exactly!

The game looks great with "normal" , like running or walking, going on. The action and platforming look really clunky(I guess this would make sense since he is made of stone and is in a suit of armor) to me. The sound effects seem a little off to me.

I decided to listen to some of his stuff to see what he was like. I like his style, though not enough for me to listen to him in any regular fashion.

Fortnite would be nice though.

@Anti-Matter I'm the opposite:
1) I love Akira Toriyama's art style. Dragon Ball and DBZ introduced me to anime. Plus, Slime's design is so iconic. Everything Toriyama does is so charming. I even think the skeletons look adorable.
2)I agree on this
3)I like the sound, yeah it isn't the minecraft pop sound, but it is steal a nice sound in my opinion.

@sandman89 I've played through the demo multiple times already. I've finally got a basic format I like, so I'll keep it that way for when the official game comes out. Its been a blast already.

I haven't played a standard kirby game in a good while. Now is the time.

Kirby Epic Yarn really burned me. Never had I ever returned a game that fast before (or after)!

@SimplyCinnamon53 Great video on the topic. Couldn't agree more.

haha, every character looks like the devs tried to toe the line of copyright infringement as close as possible. Arthur mixed with shovel knight, a Link wannabe, and a megaman/dr. stockman/rick hybrid.

And that is just pointing out a few of them! XD

To those who say this isn't speed running,

In the speed running community, there are several different categories. This is one of those categories. Yeah sure, it isn't a 100% run or any % run (which are the two biggest categories) but it still is one even if it has a smaller community. These people, especially Sethbling, are into code and like to see what they can exploit using it. And of course they want to see who can do it faster, which classifies it as speedrunning.

That being said, I find this very boring I don't care about it one bit. XD

Is it bad that I base my decision of whether to buy a FPS on if the game has the P90 in it or not?

I do think CoD games are stale, but they do scratch my itch for the run and gun play style.

Yep, getting Kero Blaster since it was made by the same guy as Cave Story.

@tanookisuit Xenoverse 2 is some good fun. There can be a good amount of grinding when you are trying to unlock moves in the game since you have to get Z ranks on those missions to have a chance to get them. I haven't played a lot online yet other than a raid boss. One out of the five matches I played was laggy to where the boss was hitting me but no one was around.

Watch FighterZ on the low setting was so disgusting though, especially after watching a lot of other videos on it. It really did look like a 3DS title there. Haha.

At first I thought they showed off the fire yo-yo twice in the the video. Just realized they showed of the ice and fire(yep, I eat KitKats the wrong way. Just one big bite!) versions.

I haven't played a normal Kirby game in a long time. This is an itch that is going to be scratched at the right time. I'm too excited.

@TME Agreed.
I actually loved the "cut scenes"

I don't like this genre though, so I won't be getting it.

I might be most excited for Moonlighter, but I can't wait for AWAY or Hollow Knight either. Indies have had me excited ever since I bought the switch.

I've actually never heard of this game.

It looks beautiful in motion. I'll be willing to add this game to my library.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Hey, that sounds familiar. Oh wait! Other M!
Just saying, be careful for what you wish for.

In my humble opinion, metroid prime is the best game of all time. Yes, I put it of Ocarina of Time. The immersion of being in the helmet of Samus was an amazing experience. I do really love the 2D metroid games too. I just don't want another experience like Other M (and for reasons not similar to the internet "masses").

I didn't vote for Prime 4 just because I don't think it is coming out this year. And saying that, how do you put MP4 on here but not Pokemon Switch as an option? If one was coming out this year I would bet pokemon.

Mine are Kirby, Octopath, and Dark Souls in no particular order.

I've never had a backlog of games to play for just having one system before. Most consoles I've been able to buy games one at a time and play them without feeling I'm missing out. This is the first time in my life (yes, I'm old enough to put the NES on this list) where I don't feel like I or my wallet can keep up with the games coming out.

Is it weird that I hope this isn't to announce a Smash game/port?

If it isn't for the game then this is huge for the Smash competitive scene. Actually being taken seriously by Nintendo and getting to partner with them. Other companies do this, it would be about time Nintendo did this.

I love watching competitive Smash, but I'm good with playing mostly just for fun. So either way I'll be happy.

@AlternateButtons "See this is your problem. This kit isn't geared for us. This is for parents and kids."

Here is the thing, it "technically" is geared to me since I'm a kid at heart. Which they said on their social media it was geared to kids and kids at heart. Also you said the same thing as I did, since it is geared toward kids and I said it would be different if I had one. But yeah, I agree with you on who it is geared too, we're just looking at it from different angles I guess. My problem is the price point, parents look away from the price to give their kids a gift at times. They still don't think the product itself is necessarily worth the price, but their kid is worth "showing love". Yeah, it does follow the high price of other toys of today, but what are those made of? Usually something more durable worth the price(I see this as a week argument on my end though).

Really my problem is, is the content going to be good and/or is there going to be enough of it to pay the asking price. It is Nintendo, so more than likely the content will be good but I still don't know about the amount of content. They need to show more.

Ultimately I wish they would have packed in a download code instead of putting the game on a cart. That alone I would make me willing to pay 30/40 (variety/robot)for the games.

And honestly I'm kind of being devils advocate here. I agree with 100% on your points. I just can see it 100% the other way too.

My mind is all over the place so I'm rambling. Sorry if my comments aren't very cohesive.

Sorry long post!

@AlternateButtons I said might, as in there is a chance. I'm not assuming for a fact they will have little content, I am using the context clues (that currently are available) to see that more than likely the content isn't going to warrant the price tag. I guarantee you there will be less content in these two labo games combined than there is in Mario Odyssey, which each game has the same price tag is Mario. Now I admit that comparing them to Mario isn't fair at all, but still.

Nintendo is essentially charging for the game cart and creativity. Which, to be honest, the creativity part of it I could swallow the price if I had a kid. I just can't justify buying this for myself at the price point on creativity alone.

Plus, lets think about this, if the first variety pack is 69.99 US, then more than likely the next variety pack will be 69.99. That hurts just thinking about it.

I'm hoping the prove me wrong and in variety pack 2 the just give you a the cardboard sheets with a "dlc" code to add to your labo file. Charge 20 bucks a pop so you don't have to keep putting them on game carts.

Don't get me wrong. I love the idea and applaud nintendo for it. The price just scares me and I hope it doesn't fail because of it. And as I think about it, the large amount of the content is going to have to come from the ones like the piano and the bug. Piano because it could be an instrument ;D in getting kids to pick up actual piano and the bug because there are so many games you can come up with on your own. Like sumo that was used to show to the press or racing.

TL;DR - I'm not assuming, I'm using the context of the current information we have and will reevaluate once we have more information on whether it is worth its price tag. Also, I applaud Nintendo for this genius idea.

@Nintendoforlife Haha, honestly I found it by searching "botw gif"

It was too adorable to pass up.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I agree it is overpriced. You are paying for (US) 59.99 games that might have less content than 1 2 Switch , and then either an extra 10 or 20 for cardboard and string/rubber bands.

A genius idea that I love, but too overpriced. Although, this is something I'm not interested in buying for myself so I doesn't affect me either.

EDIT: I mentioned this in the other article but sense @AWeirdGlacier mentioned it I just want to reinforce it. Mario Odyssey was also 59.99(US).

I'm pretty disappointed with the price. Minus tax, you are paying 59.99 for either game, and then 10.00 for the variety pack and 20.00 for the robot back in the US.
At first I wanted to be mad about the price of the cardboard, but when I really thought about it it isn't really that bad. You get the cardboard plus what looks to be "string" and or rubberbands. Never mind, I don't like those prices that much after typing it out.
But the prices for the the games seems a little absurd to me. How much content is actually going to be in each game. The robot kit essentially costs the same as Mario Odyssey for the game cart alone. Is it going to have anywhere near the content as Mario? I highly doubt it.

EDIT:This actually would be an easy free pack it for the switch if you think about it. Make the bock a few centimeters deeper for a couple of sheets and have an app with a couple of gadgets pre-loaded.

HAHAHAHA, and I can't wait to see so many people mad over this because they got too hyped.

This is really creative though. Looks fun. Doubt it will be worth its price though. I'll have to wait and see. Definitely follows interactive experience.

"new interactive experience for Nintendo Switch that’s specially crafted for kids and those who are kids at heart."
Looking at this all together eliminates Switch mini, online services, and VC in my opinion.

"experience FOR nintendo switch" means it is for the switch not a new version of it.
"for kids and those who are kids at heart" is in no way referencing paid online services. What kid/kid at heart would be excited for paid online?
"NEW interactive experience" means it wont be VC because it is for old games and this existed on Wii, WiiU, and 3DS.

My guesses would be that it has something to do with motion controls, amiibo, or a miiverse replacement. These aren't even new. We have to start thinking outside of the box people, this is Nintendo remember?!

It met my expectations. I didn't let the hype get to me.

Great time frame for kirby to come out.
Mario tennis with a story mode is very welcome! I hope it leads to mario golf with a story mode.
Dark Souls coming to switch is big to me since I've always been a nintendo gamer, so I've missed out on it.

That is about all there is for me, which is okay. I'm stilling playing splatoon, botw, and xenoverse. I still want to play doom, skyrim, and disgaea 5. This excludes all the current and future indie games.

I know what I'll be asking for my birthday from my wife. Something I could actually get her to play with me too.

I hope this game is good and sells well. I'd love a Mario Golf game in the same vein.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Okay, that is what you were referring to. Yeah, that thing will either get stolen or you'll walk into something... like traffic.

@nhSnork This is exactly what I'm thinking

Nintendo, just confirm or deny so people don't lose their collective minds!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE What do you mean by "very unrealistic situation?"
Just curious.

I just automatically assumed they were using either mobile hotspot when she is walking or local wifi when she is indoors with the other two, that is if you were referring to the streaming on the switch on the sidewalk. The mobile hotspot with my phone works well enough.

Now if you are referring to controllers being slapped out of hands then we all know that would have actually resulted in a fist fight in real life.

I loved this variant back in Splatoon. The burst bomb really rounds out this weapon. I'll drop DB:X2 and BOTW this weekend to use this for a little bit.

This direct is already shaping up to be a disappointment. Too many people expecting too much out of it. If anything it will show more information on the mainline FE, Kirby, and Yoshi games. Then we might see some new minor thing, and a tease. And it will probably close out with this is available as of now thing. I expect no smash and no Metroid, pokemon could be a tease but I doubt it. Temper your desires, as awesome as all this stuff would be I only see a 3% chance of any of it happening.

"So you're telling me there is a chance!"

I would definitely use this at home if my wife was using the TV and I was playing a game where I use the pro controller and my switch was at low battery and I could plug it in as a was playing so I could keep it charged and...

You know what, never mind.

I absolutely loved Quest 64. First game I beat before my brother. Yeah, the game was actually pretty bad, especially if you increased the wrong abilities and ended up not learning to heal yourself. Still, great memories of this game.

My favorite moment happened just yesterday! I finally started the Hard mode and I ran into the Lynel at night on the great plains. I was able to sneak up on him in the grass. I threw a stalkoblin arm at him and he came and stood right beside me trying to figure out where it came from. I took a screenshot but forgot to do a video. I was laughing so hard about it.

I thought they didn't go overboard this time... then Tharja popped up. Yep, I was wondering when that was happening. Gotta keep FE:H to its roots XD

Not sure how I feel about this. Very stunning to look at, but I'll need to see a review to know how well the controls are done.

Seems to have the ever slightest feel of Studio Ghibli in it. I love it!

Splatoon 2 and Ultra Sun. A little pocket camp.

@Anti-Matter lol, agreed

Haha, really? Did people actually think this was going to be a carbon copy of the main line games?

Of course you have to build these animals something to get them to come to your camp. If a real place doesn't have amenities or amenities you don't like, then you aren't going to go.

Yes it would be better if the villagers had more dialog, but have you looked into how much time it takes to translate all of that? Nintendo isn't going to use a triple a budget on a mobile game for man power in translation of dialog. AC has more dialog than any game I believe.

I had low expectations for this game. Now I'm enjoying it a good bit for a good 15 minutes a day.

Interesting. I wonder if it is something with the same concept but based on an older time periods weapons... I doubt it, but I'm curious.

@NinjaWaddleDee Yep, at this point there are too many stages to not have at least a 3 stage rotation.

@GC-161 "Check this out Animal Crossing movie in Japanese dub."

Meh, I can see taking that either way.

@TonyCrispy Haha, fair enough. I can't get myself to watch just because the lack of misty/brock friendship.

@GC-161 Pretty sure @Anti-Matter was just suggesting you watch it since he(she?) has mentioned it here before saying it was good.

@TonyCrispy I find that as a surprisingly good score from what I expected of it. You grow up watching the original series? I haven't watched it for previous reasons mentioned by some people.

@GC-161 haha, really? Just keep on adding criteria. I'm not going to leave you a link, because if you are too lazy to type "pokemon talking" into google then there is no point in discussing this with you.
Besides, did you forget about the new pokemon games already? There is one that literally talks to you all game, but I already know your rebuttal to that.
All in all, I rest my case.

@GC-161 Haha, but I didn't ignore your point. I literally said "Your AC point? Sure..."
I digress though. Your animal crossing point is meant to deflect from the fact that you said there are a set of rules in pokemon that they broke; however, my point still stands that pokemon do talk in both the games and the shows/films. That means they didn't break a rule.

@GC-161 Movies are for thrills, especially pokemon movies.

Your AC point? Sure, maybe in a movie they will have voice actors. Like, you know, the one that actually came out.

And nice job at ignore my point about pokemon talking in the main games.
