@larryisaman I 100% agree. I REALLY hope they call the next machine the SUPER Nintendo Switch. That would take my gaming life full circle. Therefore everyone would KNOW it is a new switch. They could even bring back the slogan, Now you're playing with power, Super Power. Everything is just RIGHT about it. I may be in the minority here, but I still played a lot of my Wii games on my Wii U. It was nice not having to have two systems side by side. That's actually where I played Mario Galaxy 2 for the first time, and even a few bargain find Wii games. Having the Switch 2 be backwards compatible would make it a day one purchase for me.

My very first race I finished 2nd. Since then, I'm usually the first person after all the people that explodes. So finishing between 70th and 90th. It seems if I can get to the first 20 spots early in a race, I can stay there, but if I don't make it at the very beginning, I never make up ground.

I bought this game the day it came out, had every intention of playing it on a 16 hour flight, didn't play it then, and still haven't played it. I really like being outside in the summer months, so once it gets to be cold out, I'll start playing. I have no expectations, and since I never played Breath of the Wild, I think I'm going to really enjoy this.

@JackieCMarlow SO MUCH THIS! I do not know know a single Latino that uses Latinx. I find it offensive and degrading for Caucasians to determine what to call people of Latin decent against their will. And I'm Caucasian, but I have many, many, many Latin Americans friends here in Miami, and not a single one them is Latinx.

@juliobrand You said what I was thinking. This is a lazy cash grab. I already have the other collection, see no need for this. This should have been DLC for someone that already has the other collection.

I just really really really wish they will call it the Super Nintendto Switch. It would harken back to one of my favorite consoles ever.

So when I saw the US one, I had fond memories, and I was thinking no way it could be topped. Then the Japanese one was so different. It was jarring. It was phenomenal. I had to go Japan. But still love the US box.

@Dr_Lugae I completely see your point. I just look at how marvel movies are doing now, and they are going down and down. And how the Little Mermaid remade did poorly (Still made a ton of money) but people automatically called others racist for not being cool with race swapping. Like in China they didn't see it, and people said they were racist for not wanting a black mermaid, but it wasn't that, they just thought it was stupid. It only made $3.7 million but then Spiderman Across the Spiderverse made $42.5 million even though Miles was the main attraction.

All in all, I'm not saying either side is right, but there are people that refuse to see anything they picture as "woke" which is why Mario SMASHED it at the box office.

I agree with the Barbie thing, but there is 40 years of pent up demand for this movie, so women were going to go see it no matter what. I've seen so many people dress up in pink to go see it. Thanks for your comment though. I guess this is enough politics for a game site, haha. I just thought that cashews has a good point that maybe it won't sell as many copies because disney no longer seems to push the same values as a lot of their buyers.

@Cashews My apologies. I was not trying to infer you were. I was just pointing out that people, do, in fact get culture from the media they consume, and was not trying to state your opinion one way or the other. I've just seen more and more boycotts of disney things since they went "woke". I'm not saying that either side is right or wrong, and again, my apologies for not writing my thoughts better. I had just woken up and thought I was stating it a different way. Whoops!

@Rainbowfire I believe movies, tv shows, and music had driven culture for the last 40 years. However, the last 5 to 10 years is becoming more driven by social media so I think the commenter had a point. Disney has been pushing an agenda for the last few years and it is hurting them in films, in their theme park business, and now it may be hurting them in games. People just want to use entertainment to relax, not be preached to.

I really want to like the show. But the acting just seems bad. The action looks pretty good, but luffy delivers his lines like he is reading them from the script. There is not emotion. Nami also sounded like she's reading the script. Sanji was good though. I'll give the show a shot because maybe it is just bad editing for the trailer that makes things seem bad. I WANT this to be good.

@Expa0 I agree, I hope the recommended race lines can be turned off. If so, this could be pretty cool. I kind of wish it was more than 10 racers as well. 16 would be nice. If this was on sale for $10 it was be an automatic purchase from me. I'm not saying it isn't worth more, but I'm just not into racing games that much, but this reminds me of the old school games.

Eternal Darkness was my vote. A port of Kid Icarus from the 3DS would be great too. It would probably have to be built from the ground up for this that was my favorite 3DS game. I actually thought Geist would be an option here. Geist is one most interesting games on the Gamecube for me.

I saw the European one and thought it was one of the most beautiful covers I've ever seen. I think the NA/Japan one is cool, but the European is gorgeous. Good job to that designer.

I know it is highly unlikely, but I do wonder if somewhere sometime the person that designed that will find this poll and see how appreciated it is.

@Bobb This is what I was going to say! Trust no one... but make the friends you can trust. HA

@FullMetalWesker Dude! This one is the best! Thanks for the link.

My original comment was just going to be if I was the only one that saw the 3 people on the NA box art, and wondered whatever happened to them? Did they go on to model for other things, or is this the highlight of their career, and they still keep a copy of the game on their book cases for their friends to see when they visit.

This one was one of the toughest for me. I really like both. I ended up going US. I was surprised how lopsided it is with 80/20. Haha

@tstorm That's what I was going to say, I LOVE NASCAR Rumble. One of my favorite racers. Hopefully this plays even better than that.

If it drops down to $5 I would probably give it a go. But nothing about it made me want to pay full price. I used to love the old PoP games.

@Jalex__64 Thanks for this. I actually thought Splatoon 3 would hit 15 million but I guess it isn't as big as I thought it was. I still love it the most of any of the 1st party games.

I haven't seen it yet, but want to. I've heard that it is just a good fun film with a lot of fan service and there is no agenda or "woke" politics in it. I think there was a huge pent up demand for something that you can take your family to and not not have to worry about having anything preached to you about. Hopefully studios realize that we just want to be entertained when we go out.

@Greatluigi I had held out hope for so long that someone would make a hack so it could play offline. It's one of my favorite match games ever. Maybe if one day I'm rich I'll figure out how to have someone make one. haha I saved the game on my old phone and still click it from time to time to see if any way to connect.

I hope they do better with them than they did with Demiurge Studios. I loved Sega Heroes, and that game was killed too soon because of greed. I hope Sega doesn't become even greedier with this acquisition. Which I am not privy to what actually happened between them deciding to part ways but Sega Heroes was the only mobile game I've ever spent money on and it will be the last.

Splatoon is my first choice. Then my next would be Star Fox, and then Luigi's Mansion. But honestly, from the list I would probably be interested in almost all of them other than Donkey Kong. I loved the DK Country games on Snes, and loved DK as a kid, but he no longer holds my interest. I'd also love a Wario movie. That could set him up as a future villain.

I didn't see anyone mention this, but was curious how it compared to Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 since I enjoyed both of those movies (2 more than 1 actually) and the totals are:
Sonic 1: $319,715,683
Sonic 2: $405,421,518

I do not find what @dekuforce to respond to my post to being trolling or worth a ban. On my post he stated what for the US or European market is most likely fact based on demographics. Maybe he said something in post 28 that was terrible and inflammatory, but if was his response to me, I see no malice or trolling.

@echoplex Full Disclosure.... I kind of WISH my friends would watch me play Zelda and cheer for me. But I still think I'd rather them cheer me on in a Splatfest.

YO!!!!! They have the shirts for sale on the Nintendo US store. I bought one of each. I love when they actually put the shirts up to match the festival!

I love how inclusive this ad is. I think back to when I was a kid, it was only the boys playing Zelda. Now in the ad there are 7 women and 5 men. Also very diverse with the casting. Zelda really is for everyone.

@LikelySatan Yeah, it's tough to say. I got my switch when Splatoon 2 came out. I mostly played that and rocket league until Animal Crossing came out. BOTW looked amazing but I just didn't think I would have the time to put into it. Then I got Odyssey when it came out but still haven't beaten it so confirmed I wouldn't have the time. However, this game makes me think I will take time for it. I wish it came out a couple of weeks earlier. I'm going to China for a month and do not do online gaming there so this would be a great game to play in the hotel.

@Fizza Agreed, I had no interest in the breath of the wild even though I'm sure it is one of the greatest games ever. However, this video has me doing a pre-order. Wow! Simply WOW!

@LiNeR Exactly!!! Can't believe this wasn't an option to vote for. Although the Mega Man is pretty sweet.

Does anyone else remember how in the original Splatoon there was a glitch so you could get out of the hub and explore where you weren't supposed to see? That would be really cool if they had incorporated that into this as well.

I bought it at the announcement. I'm cool with this skinning and love the nostalgia, but I wish it had some functionality (like adding the old arcade games). I was going to buy it for the single player update later anyway, so this isn't a huge deal to me, just a small bonus. Now if the new campaign is trash, I'll think I overpaid, but I can't imagine it being that bad.

I voted for Splatoon 3 one, as that's the only one I've bought. I REALLY like the Animal Crossing one, and think it is BEAUTIFUL, but It didn't convince me to buy a new system. I already had the switch OLED and bought the Splatoon 3 one, so even though I thought I liked the AC one better, I didn't buy it so obviously I do not know myself well. haha

Yeah, The curling stone is like a nerfed seeker. I used it with my roller now just so I can have some kind of range with my roller. What I liked about the seeker special was that I think I could send out 7 or 8 seekers at once, so on a narrow stage like Camp Triggerfish or Walleye Warehouse I could unleash them all while my teammate tried to advance the rainmaker and it was just enough distraction to get us that extra push. I also liked the original Killer Wail (Sp?) for narrow stages or on Hammerhead Bridge. It would often get me a quad.

I want the seekers back. That was my favorite special from Splatoon one. Unleash the SEAKERS!

I miss the seekers and the special with as many seekers as you could send. That was slightly OP but super fun.

@MS7000 I literally preordered it announcement and have no clue what it is other than cosmetic change. Seems stupid to pay that much for that But I do love Splatoon so hopefully it is more than cosmetic.

Jet Force Gemini, and then Conker. JFG was a great game, but never completed because I HATED how if you left the area and came back, you had to save all the bears again. I feel like once an area is completed, you should be able to backtrack all you want without having to save every bear again.

I agree with the people saying it is great. I haven't played it in years, but now feel the urge to start playing again for old times sake.

@Bass_X0 Got it, thanks. I remember the kids in cages thing. I always thought it was weird that the "not sending their best" thing was taken out of context. He was talking about the coyotes that smuggle people in, but still, I see it's a bad look. And Biden is still working on the wall so I guess no matter who the president is, it's all the same. haha Thanks for explaining. I've never heard of the game so was just curious. Thanks for answering without being political.

@Bass_X0 Not to get political, but how were Mexicans treated during the presidency of Trump compared to how they are treated under Biden? Please pardon my ignorance, just do not understand what happened during Trump? FBI data shows that is has been similar under Biden and was similar pre-Trump. So was curious what the game inferred was happening. Not being political, just wanting some clarification. Thanks.

I somehow had NO idea this came out. This was a game I always wanted on my Wii U and didn't get. I just bought it on sale on the eshop. I feel like it's something I will enjoy a lot.

@KayFiOS hahaha absolutely THIS! That made me nerd laugh. Thank you and I will consider your wit my Christmas gift.

I've played a total of 4 tri-colors, always attacking. I have won 2 of the 4. The issues I have is when one of the other attacking teams kills me. I hope people understand that we should be working together to only splat the defenders, and not the other attacking team because as long as one of the attacking teams wins, it counts for both.

I like the old flounder heights better. And now I see my streams when I swim with ninja squid. Hope that's fixed. I love the other new stage. It's intense

I read through all of this, but I do not see where they fixed how on Scorch Gorge, if you're using Ninja squid, your movements still show in the ink

I don't care about WWE or AEW. I was a WCW fan growing up and old school WWF through the attitude era. Don't care about the PG stuff. I can say all the games on N64 were stellar. I actually thought this game looked nice. I'm surprised everyone is saying it looks so bad. Of course my favorite wrestling game right now is Wrestling Empire which is not known for it's graphics, but that game is FUN. And I care more about Fun than graphics.

So I got the Splatoon/Smash Brothers Wii U as a gift. I wanted it for Smash Brothers, because I thought Splatoon looked stupid. I was incredibly, incredibly wrong. Splatoon was the most played game on my Wii U and I posted so much about it on the Splatoon Reddit they grew to want me to shut up. haha I imported the clothes from Japan when you couldn't buy them in the US. I still buy their splatfest shirts. All and All, this game just speaks to me because I do not like violent shooters. A few years ago I just got tired of all the lifelike violence and I do not think shooting people is a fun excursion. I do not like glorifying violence. But with Splatoon, I'm not killing people, i'm popping squids with ink, not bullets. So I can get my shooter fix without having to watch gore and violence. The music is dope, and the variety is amazing for the weapons and clothes. This is my favorite game series ever and I look forward to new content.
