@AnnoyingFrenzy Mallow has a far better story, actually has a personality and depth. Might not be the most useful party member once Peach joins but his story is really the heart of the story besides the standard JRPG save the world.
Geno has no character and is extremely wooden (sorry had to), he has no real development, his style is like a keebler elf with a gun, but I will give you if you can get the timing down he's the best party member.
I wouldn't want either of them in Smash though. Think we have the two most important Square characters now and representation of one of the best RPGs, Dragon Quest XI.

Honestly don't know why people are all about Geno. Personally I thought Mallow was a wayyyyyyyyyyyy better character.

Got to love Kirby. Love that what the new Kirby looks like is a highlight to new characters.

Have on PC mainly for The Outer Worlds and Forza Horizon 4, as well I have so many games just downloaded because of the service that I've played a bit of. It is a seriously good deal would be cool but I understand Nintendo's position if it doesn't happen.

Think it is fine and within their rights.

I would however say that Nintendo should also make it widely available to buy on digital platforms so those who want to legally own them can easily get them.

@Arkenfell dude there is literally a video embedded in the article of the clip plus the article itself explains it...seriously don't come to an article asking what everyone is talking about without reading it.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Oh but you are complaining, in fact you've been arguing over several posts that it is part of the character and integral to the development of the character and story to include this childish racist comment. Yet you can't explain how it is or why it is.
Again racist or not (it is racist), this is just bad writing and should have been cut regardless. You've probably put more thought into defending it than the writers put into any scene in this movie.

@Clyde_Radcliffe okay here then do this for me since you truly believe that this scene is great character writing and exemplify unpleasant human personalities that needs to be included. Please tell me the name of the character, their character motivation, how this racist comment furthers the story and the character, how this scene is integral to the movie.

@Clyde_Radcliffe you haven't watched the movie you don't know what the character motivation is (and I feel bad for you if you think that is great story writing). But from the clip it literally adds nothing to the scene other than cringe as I said.

Literally okaying racism (no matter how minor you think it is) and it's just bad writing. It is pure schlock.

Anyways really worry for this site's community and culture.

Wow lots of people defending this extremely childish racist joke...this is the hill you guys want to die on?

All and all doesn't seem to add anything to the movie other than more cringe and should have been on the cutting room floor without the Chinese government's censorship.

And just like that I'll no longer be getting these.

The wishful thinking I have is that it is a secret unlockable if you beat all three or just beating Mario Galaxy unlocks it. That would be shocking and amazing.

But I think the reality is probably they just didn't have it in time or didn't plan for it to be in the collection.

Honestly I'm not bothered I liked Galaxy 1 more (I 200% it) and I never bothered to finish Galaxy 2.

I'm more excited to finally play Sunshine. It's the only Mario game I haven't played.

Not a fan of the art style of the characters or the monsters. Netflix really cheaped out on the animation budget for this one.

Love the game. Had some truly emotional moments that brought me to tears. I believe I'm about 3/4 the way through and still loving it. Really recommend it to anyone.
But I have to say that the consistent crashes have been truly disheartening. Especially one that happened at one of the most emotional scenes and then restarted me back on the last island I visited which was like 10 minutes of progress but so much had happened that it took away from the moment. Now often after important events or nearing important events I just save and quit to make sure, but I really shouldn't have to do that.

TOK is much better than this list suggests. As I've see with many people in the comments didn't even play it, but had opinions on it based on what other people said (who most likely didn't play it as well).

Just finished it the other day, for me it is just behind TTYD. TTYD's unique characters, party mechanics, and unique partner uses throughout the story sets it above. But serious Bobby's story line is better than pretty much all the partner's stories in TTYD. Also the two last partners were fun and had lots of funny dialogue. Boss battles all were interesting and unique and I actually had to think about them unlike any battle in TTYD.

Also for people to put the original Paper Mario up there I would say replay it. It's okay and sets up a lot of the mechanics/scenarios for TTYD and that's probably the best thing it did. Otherwise they're too closely related.

@ACNHislit nope it's still consumable. You're misinforming people. That's great you want it to succeed but don't lie to people about what is in the game.

@ACNHislit Hey man I don't know what you're talking about the consumable weapon skins are still very much in the game. Just logged on to check.

Never been so excited for a game and dropped so hard off it. Played a few hours of random matches and did the first story chapter. Was hoping for a Splatoon replacement but this doesn't hold a candle to Splatoon.
Also the loot box mechanics and the weapon skins only being one time use left a terrible impression.

I'm all over this. Love my Wii U but bring all the Wii U games over to the Switch (3D World please)

@TimboSlice I played on the Wii U so don't know the differences with the Switch version, but I would say this game truly benefits from mid game upgrades that add more abilities. That's when it started clicking for me. But it definitely is a weird game.

People need to just be patient. Video games take a long time to develop especially good ones. Just let them take their time on it rather than trying to rush it or have bad work practices like crunch.

Contrary to the popular opinion, I actually really like it so far. I'm on the third area and some pretty funny things have happened, some very dark things happened, and some just odd things have happened aka a Paper Mario game.

I do actually like the battle system, it is quick and engaging. I can see if they do a sequel to this they can really expand this system out in a couple easy ways.
1. Experience/leveling system. Without the leveling tied to battles (it's actually tied to explorations which has it's own positives) I rarely get into a fight twice once I clear an area, just avoiding them. But when I think back to TTYD I rarely got into many fights outside of the current chapter area because it gave such little experience that it would be such a grind to get even 1 level so I would end up avoiding them.
2. Partner turns with direct control. Their different attacks can hit different areas on the board compared to Mario's hammer, jump, and items.
3. More boss battles. They're seriously the best part of the battle system and just want more like that.
4. Enemy variety taking up more spaces/shapes on the board. Don't know if that's going to happen but hasn't yet and I can see that adding a challenge to the puzzle aspect.
5. Take away turns on the puzzle and just have a shorter time limit. This way players can position enemies as they see fit and with the other changes will make it easier to design them.

All and all so far for me it's just behind TTYD because I do miss the party aspect with partners having an active role in the battles. But story-wise I've felt more for Bobby's story than 90% of the partners in TTYD.

And anyone complaining about it not being TTYD (most complaints I see are that it's not a straight forward RPG) then there are a ton of Mario & Luigi games waiting for you (one even with Paper Mario). But going through these comments you can see the people who have played the game and who haven't.

This is such a low goal it already has a publisher and they're just gauging interest or can be a lost project easily once development cost go past like 3 months.

Anyways not interested in this at all. The art style is so basic and the story looks barren that it doesn't look to make up for a battle system I like.

This is everything I want. Suikoden is my favorite series.

Honestly if I can get a game on Switch over the PC (and it runs decent) I'll always choose it on Switch. The pure convenience of being able to play like an hour or so in bed before sleep is worth it.
I put in over 100 hours into Dragon Quest XI and I doubt I would have done that on PC.

Love how the reviews are mostly good to great and people are like "well looks like I'll have to wait for a GOOD Paper Mario game". So silly.
I think people need to realize that they took Paper Mario in a different direction from TTYD doesn't mean it's bad.
The Mario and Luigi series is more of a continuation of that style of gameplay. Several games in that series waiting for anyone to play them.

I got the story mode and was pretty disappointed. Also agree the parry system being luck based is truly no fun. The whole experience has made me just want to play splatoon 2

Was a super fun game and I think a sequel can really refine the mechanics as well as possibly add in a real campaign story mode. Also loved the crazy party modes they added so more of that at the lunch of a sequel would be great.

@Yorumi they used X/Y models because all the games afterwards were for the 3DS.. they're the same engine. This is clearly a new engine which means models aren't 1-1, again as I said they're based on the old animations and models but there is still work to be done to get them working.
You think publishers hire porting companies to just click a button when porting games from one console to the next? Not to mention a new engine with HD graphics.
You can't just drag and drop 240p models and have them look the same as 1080p models with no extra work.

FYI to everyone "Gotta Catch 'em All" slogan hasn't been the slogan since X&Y, they knew back then it was unsustainable.
For me not this whole 'controversy' isn't a huge deal, and for 99% of players this isn't even an issue because they don't even use this feature. It's just the hardcore of the hardcore that are upset and being very vocal. I've played all the games and stopped using this feature at Black & White.
I appreciate that they're being open and honest about the complications they full admit is their own doing. Further they could always add it in later as well that's an option. As for now it looks like they're most likely going to have the first 151 plus all the new ones from this region. My guess would be they'll have all the starters and legendary throughout the series. If they're real smart they'll include all the top played competitive Pokemon to settle down the nay-sayers. But if they don't, oh well. @iLikeUrAttitude Modeling, Animation, and engines don't just automatically transfer over. They can base it off the old animations but there is still work to remake them in the new engine (the 3DS is not the same as the Switch just so you know). Now that the Pokemon are out in the world they have to do brand new animations ideal poses and walk cycles, plus battle animations for all moves and test all those. Think to most the games you play there aren't a huge variety of character models that require unique animations.
Example: Dragon's Dogma has about 18 characters to animate for; Harpies, birds, Griffon, Chimera, Dragons, Humans, deers, goblins (3 versions), Cyclops, Trolls, Beholders, rabbits, undead (3 versions), and wolves (probably more but I can't think off the top of my head), that took years to make.
Now think 900+ Pokemon to animate and battle animations add another few thousand variations to animate then testing all that. It does get very unreasonable if you want a product anytime soon. Sure they could have waited probably another 2 years to get all that done for a feature less and 1% of players use, but why.
And if you really value this above all then just stick to Ultra Sun and Moon. Pull a Melee and stick in the past. It's okay.

Already got it on mobile and was actually a pretty good fit for mobile. If it is the same price as mobile would definitely recommend it on Switch.

All about this. Definitely going to get this.

Not for me.

I preordered a ton of switch games just for this reason and once it's over I'll just be going all digital again.

so hyped

I'm all for this.

I had an absolutely blast on the 3DS with this. Seriously considering it and that soundtrack is very tempting. Music was so good.

This looks decent might check this out.

no thanks

Was a great game that went totally unappreciated by most. Had on the Wii U and oh man that end...was a 15/10 just kept getting better. Definitely would go in for another dip on it.

1. it's free, so microtransactions are where the money comes from. Super Mario Run pay once for a complete game failed on the market compared to Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem.
2. They give out leaf tickets like candy. I have about 1500 and that is easily with spending about 500 on random things. All of those left tickets were free from log in bonuses, to doing requests, etc.
3. Don't buy them if you don't want to. Not like there are already hundreds of things you can make and decorate all free without spending a single dime.

Had this on Wii U. Was definitely a fun game with great levels and could get very challenging at points. For me personally I'm going to skip it on Switch but I definitely recommend to anyone that hasn't played it yet.

@Sakura7 you're disappointed that they reported the facts because those facts might cause people to be rightfully concerned where their money was going if they buy this product?
Why even report anything if it might cause discussion or inform consumers?

Wont be supporting anything with PewDiePie's involvement. This is a hard pass for me.

I, for one, very much liked the link and appreciate this little snippet of info that took me all of 20 seconds to read and 2.49 minutes to watch the video. Black Panther was awesome so this just adds to the awesomeness. I've never seen Coogler in interviews but from this small clip he seems very down to earth and big plus is he's into cool games and books. I also need to get into Altered Carbon.

Definitely an amazing game that speaks to the degradation of America's rust belt towns. The hopelessness in the job market, low wages, stagnant economy, the terrible healthcare insurance set up in America, Depression and anexity, generational differences, perceptions,and expectations, etc. even throw in some supernatural stuff (that plays into all of the above) and it really is a great story. While some might not be able to connect with the characters, I personally felt this really represents a good chunk of life that is actually going on right now so for me it was easy to identify with multiple characters even when they were doing things I didn’t agree with. I had several literal laugh out loud moments and basically had a grin on the whole time playing. Mae’s drawing are some of the funniest things in the game. And the soundtrack is truly amazing.
Already played on the PC but enjoying another run through on the Switch right now.

I was really looking forward to this game but the poor performance with the mediocre scores meant I went to other games. If they get it running and if maybe a sale comes around I will get it but with Night in the Woods just around the corner Dead Cells later in the year and endless play on Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 it’s going to be a tough sell for me.

Buying purely to play portably but all the details that have come out screams that this is a bare bones remaster, no new assets no fixes to areas (bed of chaos anyone) and no gameplay fixes (maybe they can fix some of the covenants). Just up rezing textures, 6 player online and 60 FPS for all versions except the switch and hopefully they didn’t assign things to the frame rate like durability like in dark souls 2 pc version.

YES! I own on the PC but since day one of the Switch I've been waiting for the Switch version to do another playthrough. So excited.

I don't know if he's talking about getting approved to be on the eShop, which would be really weird since they have a ton of indies, good and bad, coming through each week or if he's talking about being a part of their Nindies program/featured on a direct etc.
For all we know they could have filled out a form wrong which caused they to be denied. Anyways I've heard from several people that VA-11 HALL-A is an awesome game so I hope it gets on the Switch. But he's not helping himself by bad mouthing Nintendo, there must be a better way to air his grievances.
