I have collected Lego for a while, and this is probably the worst design I've seen in a long long time. I was going to say it looks like someone tried to create this from memory, and saw that @metroidprimed just beat me to it. haha
If it is OLED, I'd probably buy one day one, if not, I'll just keep playing my backlog and then buy a "New" version when it comes out with OLED. UNLESS, they call it the Super Nintendo Switch, and if that's the case I'll buy Day one because that's what I've been calling it.
This one was a tough one for me. I went with the US because of Nostalgia. But the Japanese is really cool as well. That would have made a great poster.
This is a game I always wanted to try but forgot about. It's cool they released it for fan only servers. If only Sega had done that for SEGA HEROS mobile. That was my favorite mobile game of all time.
When it is sub $10 I'll probably give it a go. Use to love these style games. The best was Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road. I REALLY miss that game. And Rock N Roll Racing.
Eternal Darkness is my favorite game ever. I would love for a remaster of that game to come out. I would pre-order today even if they announced for 2027. haha
@NintendoKnight That's cool. I've never seen it. I'd much rather see something like the HD-2D though. This was one of my FAVORITE rpgs when I was young, so would love for it to play the same, just be gloriously beautiful.
So for Rocket League, they have this on switch, and when playing handheld I didn't notice much of a difference, but when I made the graphics "Prettier" when docked, it looked like an entirely different game. It was so beautiful to me.
I agree with others that I actually think it should be BOTH on the new switch. It should be powerful enough to make Rocket League look pretty AND play at 60fps
I love that this is a tie as of Monday morning 9:30am est. They're both amazing. I went with the North American / Japan one. There is something engaging about it, and I could imagine it being a poster on my wall as a kid.
I guess this makes sense since the new game will override everything the original had to offer. I just always get anxious when I see "delisted". Everything is temporary now.
@RupeeClock Never heard of it, but saw your comment, read the review, and for $4.99, even if I don't like it, it's not a big waste of money. I'll try to remember to let you know what I think. Thanks for mentioning it.
I just realized I bought this game and never opened it. Haha
I wonder where it is now. I had best buy rewards dollars and picked it up because I loved the paper mario on Wii. I guess I need to find it and give it try.
@DwaynesGames I won my 5th game today, and dedicated it to you dude. No clue who you are, but read your comment this morning, so when I won you were the first person I thought of. Congrats on getting the theme in 3 games. That's dope!
It's interesting, usually I'm with the majority, but this time I picked NA and it was the worst. I think it is because I remember the day I got the game, and how me and my friends could all play at once. It was SO cool. We were like, this is the FUTURE! Even though we had had the "multi-tap" whatever it was called for the NES that allowed us to play four players, and my atari 5200 allowed for 4 players from the jump. But still, this time it was the FUTURE! (because 5.)
@SpeedRunRocks I was totally going with team bear cubs since I was a Cubs fan growing up, but this post may make me re-consider. Luckily I have a couple of weeks to choose my allegiance. haha
Xbox being sold to nvidia was pretty good. I think any April Fools joke should at the bottom of the article say "April Fool's". I mean that is how it works in real life. You play the joke and then say April Fools.
I am sure the people at Nintendo are way smarter than I am about this, but I still think they should do a slight refresh of the switch lite (maybe a better screen, with 2 new colors of shell) and sell it for $129 (or something like that) or $149 with a pack-in game (Super Mario Odyssey because people will still buy Mario Kart 8) and have that released with the Super Nintendo Switch comes out.
The North American Market sold around 33 million NEWS of which 710k (approximately, seems no one has an exact number) were the new redesign top loaders at the end of the life cycle.
I know Nintendo would probably want to sell more of the SuperSwitch, but banging out another 10-15 million units or so of the OG at a reduced price shouldn't hurt the sales of the new system that much. To me, someone that will pay $400 for a new switch, isn't going to be the buyer of the $129 to $149 OG switch.
I think for any carbon roller fan, not having Seekers as the special will always be missed. I also loved the original rollers original Killer Wail. I remember on Hammerhead Bridge, for the rainmaker when teams made a final push at the end, you could splat all 4 because they were always so tight together. Good times. Literally the game that I've cared the most about in the past 7 years is Splatoon. I have the shirts, I have the bags, and I have the heartache from every rainmaker loss.
I do not mind a delay. Like others said, I have more than enough games to play as is. But also as others said, I do not see it as a delay since they never announced it anyways. I would hope that releasing it later would mean they could have more time to create an even better chip. They're probably locked in to what they have now, but just like snapdragon has a new chip each year, it would be great if waiting would allow an even stronger chip out of the gate. I'd also love to see an "upgrade" slot be available. Kind of like the N64 had the ability to use Ram Expansion Pack, it would be cool if this one had the ability to add more processor power down the line. Also, calling it now, launch Title is a re-release of Eternal Darkness!
I've always loved the North American one. So when this popped up this week I thought it would be an easy W. Then saw the European one of the first time. It is dang near PERFECT! I said, "Oh S__t!" out loud because I was surprised how great it is. Japan's is a cool concept, but unfortunately didn't age well for me.
I rented this game from Movie Gallery back when I was young. I did not realize at the time, that the person before me had already BEAT the game and most stuff was already gone. I could not figure out what to do (no instruction manual and I wasn't internet savvy back then). All these years later I see what I was missing out on. haha
I'm pretty excited to try the 1 player game. But I said that about the 1 player in Splatoon 2, and the expansion, and the one player in Season 3, and I've yet to play any of them. Also, I've bought Side Order. Soooo I guess I need to get to playing 2 again to catch up on the story!
@vio HAHAH She was the right one at first. I remember in the beginning she was into it. She even dressed as Marie for Comiccon in NY. But then, as time went on, she went from Staying Fresh, to being a total Octavio. haha
@LXP8 I have now missed the last two as well. I was in China and my hotel would not allow me to use a VPN so I went from perfect streak of playing each one (if only one match although I always tried to become "King") to now missing 3. Oh how the mighty have fallen. haha
@Picola-Wicola I agree. I have the OLED, but also have the Splatoon 3 OLED that I have never opened as well. My thought is that if the first one breaks, I can open the Splatoon 3 one and continue to play for at least another 5 to 10 years.
@mariomaster96 Yeah, I was thinking if they keep the Switch on the market for a year or two after the Super Nintendo Switch launches, but discount the OG to like $199, there would still be a market for 5 to 10 million more thus making it the number one selling one ever.
I remember being in K-Mart and playing their demo system. They didn't have a timer on it, so I could play as long as I like. I remember one of the older ladies that worked there politely telling me to calm down because I was playing the mario game and thought it was the coolest thing in the world that it was 3D! I've always been in to 3D. I have the 3DS and I loved my HTC Evo 3D phone. It's too bad the Evo 3D didn't have better marketing and wasn't on something besides Sprint. When my friends would see my phone, everyone thought it was so cool. Especially my photography. People that had never seen the phone called it a fad, but if you used one, you knew it was RAD!
@NinChocolate I know they're just rumors, but if they do the two skus for the Super Nintendo Switch, maybe one can be smaller like the light and it would be the one without the ability to use cards. And then the other could be the full fledged. The thing that stinks is apparently they're not using OLED screens according to the latest rumors, but I guess by the end of this year we will all know what the truth is. haha
