@axelhander Is that a bad thing to do?

Bye- bye, Star Force. Hopefully international sales are still strong overall

@K1LLEGAL The difference with the Wii U was that it still had a bunch of great exclusive games and acted as something to build off of (home and handheld consoles merging together) when it came to the next thing. Not so sure if Xbox is in the same spot

@ecco6t9 Nope, they’re not stupid enough to gatekeep Minecraft on Xbox, and I think they’re obligated to release COD on other platforms

Maybe they’ll run into MegaMan Volnutt and get him off Elysium

@DollyrotsFan1 Yet Bluey is treated like some kind of revolutionary masterpiece, is there something I missed???

Tried out the demo and found it fun enough to warrant pre-ordering the full game, so I’m not worried about spoilers (for those wondering about that there is to spoil, I imagine certain elements and Easter eggs are in the game that have been kept hidden).

@NeonPizza The only reason that was the case was because video games were meant to appeal to kids, so they had to go through a bunch of hoops to appeal to both kids and the parents who saw video games as some dangerous toy. Nowadays, they have nothing to prove, other than why their console and games are worth purchasing. They don’t need crazy deals (which is a bad thing) or crazy marketing (which is a good thing). Also, I thought third-party exclusives were a bad thing? Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony were all just buying them up anyway - not like they actually had a reason to be exclusive. And back to the Super Mario Kart thing, that game has been surpassed by dang near every sequel (Super Circuit is debatable). The tracks all blend in, Vanilla Lake is near unplayable, the battle mode is incredibly bland compared to how it is in future installments, drifting is pretty much useless unless you’re an expert, the computers cheat in ways that make my jaw drop (“DID HE JUST JUMP OVER MY SHELL?! HE DIDN’T EVEN CROSS AN ITEM PANEL!!!”), I have no idea how anyone can look at this game and think it’s the greatest other than out of pure nostalgia. It has aged like milk.

@NeonPizza keyword: was

@canaryfarmer Wrong article. Or right one. Who can know for sure?

@N8tiveT3ch Delayed by like, what, a couple months? Should prices drop that soon?

Would be nice if there was an “I can’t decide” option. Also, I get that they were probably trying to make Daisy look more like she’s actually from the Middle East (which I think is what Sarasaland is supposed to represent, though it may have originally supposed to have been Africa, I honestly have no idea) but her movie design is so honking jarring to look at. Especially the hair, which looks like a wig.

Would 100% get this on day 1 if I actually had the time to play it. My summer is looking more and more stacked

Well, it’s better than nothing

@Aquinas It’s live action and it’s also Zelda. Not nearly as many kids are going to be interested in it, so they have much more pressure to make it appealing to adults and critics.

7/10. Honestly, I think I kind of prefer the first movie because it was simply way more exciting (although it was also more disappointing) and I also just kind of like the vibes more. I don’t know, it might just be nostalgia (even if it was only a few years ago)

Star Force is in second - yay! (even though I got bored after an hour and don’t plan on going back anytime soon, because, well, I’m also not an RPG guy…)

Two things:

1) What a stupid patent. Nintendo has got to look in the mirror so they can see the pettiness in them.

2) Literally who the heck cares about TPC v. PocketPair at this point? Nintendo’s ridiculous patents, PocketPair’s hilariously dramatized responses, this is genuinely so stupid.

Great “shut your brain off” movie. Nothing too magnificent, but great for kids and people who just need something to look at while they chill.

I just realized Wario wasn’t in it

Hopefully, he’ll be there for longer than two seconds

They’re the only men worth picking

Also, it’s either them or Talking Flower. Pick your poison

If you think the Mario (and Sonic but that’s Sega) movies are incredibly corporate, just imagine what a “Smash Bros.” movie would end up like. What kids care about Punch-Out? Or Metroid? Or Kid Icarus? They know it wouldn’t work out if they included those IPs, so they’d just market it as a crossover between Mario and Zelda (which would be extremely odd), maybe Kirby if Sakurai gets involved, or even Sonic just to appeal to the kids. Critics would hate it, fan boys would hate it, it’s just not worth it.

-10/10 there’s no emotional death scene. Every kids movie needs to have an emotional death scene. That way, the kids will be too traumatized to watch it again so the parents won’t ever have to deal “Let’s watch it again!” But no. They’re going to love it, and parents will have to stay subscribed to…whichever of the bajillion streaming services out there will have this in there to keep the kiddos happy.

In case you can’t tell, the negativity is starting to annoy me

That’s a shame, but it’s important to remember that PHYSICAL GAMES AREN’T IMMORTAL EITHER. Scratched discs, lost cartridges, this doesn’t make a good reason as to why physical is superior. It’s more of an ego boost, if anything.

Sounds believable after the last couple of years. Even Rhythm Heaven is coming back, so Star Fox also returning doesn’t seem that crazy.

@roy130390 The movie releases next week

It would have gotten leaked anyway, but I would have absolutely lost it if it wasn’t confirmed

So it is real?! Can’t say I’m complaining, but I know for a matter of fact that this is going to raise expectations of those wanting an NCU, who are going to roast this movie over a grill if it doesn’t lead to that

Remember: Sackboy is a privilege, not a right

@MTMike87 I’m totally fine with that as long as they increase the battery life (I’m still annoyed at how quickly the thing loses power)

April Fools joke. I’m calling it.

It’s actually them exercising their power to punish the people who made their Miis swear

@batmanbud2 Many consider it to be the highest honor to be seen next to Talking Flower

@Nep-Nep-Freak lol glad you also found it to be funny

@TripleJump I’ll admit that got a laugh out of me, but we shouldn’t be mocking other users on this site

@bleeflooflah Why would they apologize for doing what big corporations do: try to make as much money as possible? It’s not like they’re putting ads in their games. If they personally offended anyone by charging $80 for Mario Kart…that’s ridiculous. Video games are a privilege, not a right.

People are still going to complain regardless, but I for one am VERY happy about this

The hype surrounding the thing has died down, so now is the time for Nintendo to focus on making big-hitters to keep sales up.

@HotGoomba Tried ‘em both, nothing interesting. So tired of every company thinking they have what it takes to make the next viral hit.

I’m fine with companies using AI to make things more convenient such as in this implementation (having an AI companion lend a hand to newcomers and explain how to play the game). I’m not fine with companies talking up AI and trying to position it as the friend we can always depend on. It’s a money and time saver. That’s all it is and it should always stay like that.

It seems like these were made for parents who are Nintendo fans themselves and want to introduce their kids to the brand. Other than for that audience, these have no worth

@ThaBEN I think it came out this month

@Shepdawg1 They may love money but they’re not THAT crazy

1) These are kids toys. Toys made for those strange creatures we refer to as “children”. They are not made for anyone able to read this.

2) I don’t want these because I’m not the target demographic for them and I don’t like eating McDonald’s

@BLK_4EVER At least it’s not the ruler of all things meat, buns, and diarrhea

@Dr_Wright In Japan, yes, but I’m not sure if that’s the case elsewhere

@Anti-Matter Good for you but I’d rather have a lazier way to play a game on certain hardware than no way at all (except a cloud version, that is just wrong)

@Anti-Matter Would you rather have nothing?

Give me a WH

Give me a Y

What does that spell?

WHY (does this exist at all)

I had the Deluxe one for 8 Deluxe and it felt…cramped. The pedals in particular were a pain to use, and it was just so much more uncomfortable than playing the game with a pro controller. These do not go well with Mario Kart, simply put.
