@PikminMarioKirby You still had to pay extra for the bundled games, so people chose to buy those (unless for some reason they couldnât find the standalone console pack)
Jk it really sucks but 1) we all knew this was coming (and quite frankly Iâm surprised itâs still around) 2) itâs not like this is going to hurt sales that much and 3) Mario Kart World is a pretty darn good game and shouldnât be tossed aside just because itâs ten dollars above standard AAA pricing.
That would be comparable to raising a normally-wild animal in your home and pampering before attempting to release it into the wild. I donât think theyâll budge
@Tasuki It said itâs the twelfth main installment, so it appears to be considered mainline and not a spin-off or side game. But at that pointâŠwhy not just call it Mega Man 12?
@rallydefault Yep. People get extra docks to take with them, but since the official one is extremely overpriced (as was the original Switch dock), people look towards third parties to do the job.
@Switching Sure. As long as weâre not talking about consumer-friendly tactics. Or game preservation that isnât locked behind a subscription service. Or the Wii U. Or the GameCube. Or the 64. Or the Virtual Boy.
JP. Almost voted for NA due to how goofy looking it is, but it just isnât as ridiculous as the NA Mega Man box art, which was so bad that it was actually good. NA here is just âokayâ, but JP looks much more appealing
@Serpenterror Calling something a âfake gameâ just because itâs not on the cart is ridiculous. A fake cart, that makes more sense, but theyâre still games.

So pretty much everybodyâs saying itâs all due to the fact people canât afford a Switch 2
But they can afford a PS5???

Re: Poll: Is Your Third-Party Switch 2 Dock Still Working After This Week's System Update?
@rallydefault Yep. People get extra docks to take with them, but since the official one is extremely overpriced (as was the original Switch dock), people look towards third parties to do the job.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@coolioam Because Warioâs number one
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@AndreyBoarao Theyâll probably do some âtheyâre actually sistersâ kind of shenanigan like how it was originally going to be
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
1) Same BGM for the first Movieâs reveal, which does not fit with this one
2) Whereâs Wario?
3) What is going on with BJRâs voice?
4) Yep, itâs another Mario movie. So what the heck is happening?
5) Rosalinaâs got the dash boots, I see. Can she wall climb, too?

Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of The Mario Galaxy Movie's Leaked Yoshi Design?
I mean, I guess Marioâs design was also pretty jarring at first, but this? I donât know, man. Those eyesâŠthey scare me.
Re: Nintendo Launches Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility Search Page
@sportymariosonicmixx It still has different hardware; it canât natively play Switch games
Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
Honestly looks fake to me
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Dragon Power (NES)
JP. Almost voted for NA due to how goofy looking it is, but it just isnât as ridiculous as the NA Mega Man box art, which was so bad that it was actually good. NA here is just âokayâ, but JP looks much more appealing

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Animal Crossing: Wild World
Yeah, NA/EU for me. JP looks more like an amputation result rather than a showing of how each player has their own world
