@RenanKJ How would they properly make an open-world Mario game that is on the scale of odyssey? It might’ve worked for bowser’s fury, but a full-fledged open-world game sounds a bit too trendy
@harrystein I think I’d rather we get no new Mega Man games than the franchise be stuck in a void where it’s unable to grow because it has to stick to it’s roots.
@ParsnipHero That’s just how console launches are. Most of the stuff on it is just a bunch of ports and deluxe editions. It takes time for the developers to learn the ins and outs of the console in order to properly make new exclusives for the thing.
@Grumblevolcano If, and I say if, they have something special planned for SMB’s 40TH anniversary, I imagine they’d want to get the other announcements out of the way first so that they can have a direct focused exclusively on Mario
@ParsnipHero What the heck is wrong with Switch 2 editions? All they do is breathe new life into older games (except Jamboree, which does not deserve a Switch 2 edition at all)
spiny shell is legit just a meme, it really is just there for laughs and cursings. Yes it appears way too frequently (I lost an online knockout tour to one) but as others hear have said there are far worse items in the game, and yes, the spiny shell can help the person who threw it (at least ime)
@Pillowpants oh sorry I was being sarcastic I fully agree that GKC are a great solution for indies to get their games on retail shelves but apparently most people on the internet don’t care and are looking for any opportunity to hate on GKCs
I am seriously starting to get sick of hearing people whine about game-key cards. It’s either that or a code-in-a-box. Pick your poison, and quit shaming publishers for using them and people for buying them.
@Expa0 I’d be surprised if they haven’t working on the next Smash Bros for quite some time. Obviously, Sakurai needed a break, but I still don’t see him pushing Smash Bros aside for freaking Kirby Air-riders
How are these guys always saying stuff that gets mentioned on these websites? It seems like every other article features these people sharing their opinions about a company they no longer work for. And if it’s true that this DK game is pushing 3D Mario to the sideline, then I can assure that I am positively negative (IT’S THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF SUPER MARIO BROS, NOT THE FUNNY MONKEY)
Why is Nintendo so stubborn about this? Do they simply not want players to be stuck on the credits for 2 minutes? If that’s the case… then I honestly don’t mind

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's Director And Producer Have Been Confirmed
@DynamoDouglas And yet for some reason ppl think we’re stupid if we believe a new Mario game is coming before Christmas of next year

Honesty is the best policy, and this ain’t honesty

@Anti-Matter Pretty sure half of the ppl buying this thing don’t give a crap about physical products
Re: Talking Point: One Month On, How Did Nintendo's Switch 2 Launch Go?
It’s a great console, but unfortunately most of the games right now just don’t appeal to me, and I’m still mad about the missing 3D Mario game.
Re: Poll: How Many Hours Have You Spent In Mario Kart World So Far?
I haven’t spent too much time with it, but it’s been a blast so far (I actually find the intermission segments to be pretty freshening)

Re: Poll: What's Your Switch (2) Game Of The Year So Far?
Mario Kart World, unsurprisingly

@rjejr Well tbf, they’ve had a pretty bad history when it comes to sequel consoles.

Re: EA Worker Pay Continues To Dwindle As CEO Picks Up $5 Million Bonus, Thus Creating Amusingly Tall Financial Graph
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a CEO making more money than usual. It’s wrong when employees get paid less than usual.

Re: Nintendo Prioritising Switch 2 Dev Kits For Indies Needing "Extra Oomph", Say Devs
“OMG but what about Game-Key cards those are so awful for indies Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves they not seeing a dime from me”
Re: Nintendo's Strict Policy On MiG Carts Is Creating A Problem For Secondhand Switch 2 Buyers
The shame’s on them for returning a non-fully functioning console and the store for not checking to see if the console was in reselling condition
Re: Where Are Mario Kart World's Non-Mario Racers? Producer Kosuke Yabuki Has The Answer
@mad_and to be fair, that’s like comparing an 11 year old to a newborn
Re: Where Are Mario Kart World's Non-Mario Racers? Producer Kosuke Yabuki Has The Answer
Honestly pretty glad they left them out. This is Mario Kart, not Nintendo Kart

Re: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong
@Expa0 I’d be surprised if they haven’t working on the next Smash Bros for quite some time. Obviously, Sakurai needed a break, but I still don’t see him pushing Smash Bros aside for freaking Kirby Air-riders
Re: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong
How are these guys always saying stuff that gets mentioned on these websites? It seems like every other article features these people sharing their opinions about a company they no longer work for. And if it’s true that this DK game is pushing 3D Mario to the sideline, then I can assure that I am positively negative (IT’S THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF SUPER MARIO BROS, NOT THE FUNNY MONKEY)
Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Updated Donkey Kong Bananza's Switch 2 File Size
How is it that much smaller than Mario Kart? Did the game require that many gigs in order to have Boshi?

Re: The DK Rap Is Back In Donkey Kong Bananza, But Nobody Told Its Composer
Oh wait, I just remembered: the original song has a bad word in it, so Nintendo’s probably mad about that
