I've been playing the Atari 2600 version lately.. so this looks amazing in comparison 😂! I'll probably pick it up because I love these OffRoad like games!
@Pkocmwi You are not alone! This issue has me very annoyed. How did they even manage to break this in the first place? I'm also noticing stuttering that wasn't present before this patch too. Also, why are ALL the bonuses in Galactic Conquest lit up like the Griswold's house on Christmas now?!
I actually had similar thoughts about Metroid Prime when it released. I didn't like what I played in the demos and wrote it off. I loved the 2d games and didn't get the 3d game at all despite liking fps games. Years later I bought a clearance copy that had a large memory card in it for 9.99 for the card since that was cheap for the card. One day I didn't k ow what to play so I gave the game a chance... Wow was I wrong. Prime was a masterpiece and I almost didn't experience it out of knee-jerk reaction to the store demo.
@Coalescence This was my thoughts when looking at the photo. I'll have to see for myself Feb 22. Though I don't blame him for speaking up about it since it took a month to design it. heh
@Sonos I love the animation.... this song is ok.. but the lyrics leave much to be desired. Pac-Man fever on the other hand... is awesome! They should have just got the rights to remix and update that.
If the online infrastructure was as good as Xbox-Live.. On-system Voice chat, Group Voice chat, unified invite system, servers and etc. I'd p probably pull the trigger... but it's a mess and not worth the price.. Sorry Nintendo, but I don't support you on this.
@WhiteTrashGuy Friends and I talk about a BC 2 remaster needing to be on switch. EA can drop it off and never come back. I'd like Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike too.
They can't bother with Online, I can't bother to part with my $. It's not missing on any other platform. 3rd time, 3 strikes. Shame because I loved RBI as a kid.
Also the pre- order bonus Shao Kahn. I've come to expect no less from NR ever since Injustice Wii U. Be prepared to be mostly ignored Nintendo players. I've canceled my preorder and will wait to see Switch gets actual parity support. But I know the likely answer already.
Knowing EA.. they'll put games on Google Box and Atari box before Nintendo... then again, they ruin all my childhood PC companies...RIP Origin Systems and The Privateer series.. Oh and they Ruined an easy homerun with the SW Battlefront games. No soul just Reskin that Battlefield and collect cash.. what a disappointment.

It's frustrating, but I wonder how much of this is from Nintendo's side. Let's not complain about an "unfinished" game missing core features when we are playing it on an unfinished product that's missing core features. All my fellow switch owners know what I'm taking about. The game was rushed to get release parity... I'm disappointed they mislead us with the time-frame big time though.
My 3 y/o girl plays this. It's not bad for what it is. The fact that it's on the same console as the Mario games she loves, makes it easy to get her to play.
@IxnayontheCK I'm hoping, since the press likely wont have any trouble playing this one since it doesn't require as much coordination as w101, that it will review very well and get far more notoriety than the original release did. Who knows this could be more popular now than the original was before it hit bargain bins.
@BigH88 The Multiplayer for blacklist was Fixed a while ago. I still play it daily and don't have the crappy connection issues or any of the party join issues that plagued the game before.
I thought the controls were spot on.. 3 speeds, easy to increase running between walls.. extended wall runs with boost and double jumps.. I mean how much more control does someone need? If all you did was hold the run button in than yes, you probably had trouble running up walls by mistake.. but why are you just holding in the run button? and why not use bounce to accelerate down quickly if you ran up a wall by mistake?
What a joke.. Already beat this 100% without all this nonsense. Was a great game and challenging. This is a keeper in my collection. Though I do agree with 100 rings giving extra lives, that's just a sonic game fundamental.
I'm buying it for Wii U. Also 90's Arcade Racer. If I was worried about graphics.. I would buy this on PC hands down. They already have a solution for digital inputs because they designed it to work with a keyboard.. This was already explained a long time ago.
Casual games are what's wrong or "Core" gamers are the problem?... If I was younger and all my friends still lived near by.. we'd be partying it up with this game having a blast.. because that's what games are supposed to be for.. I think "Core" gamers are the lost ones calling anything without a movie story, hyper graphics or a T -M rating a casual game.
Like how everyone talks about load times.. when the game is the only one that runs fully off the disc. Well if the game looks better then the other consoles lets find something else to complain about.. like the freezing.. that I never once have seen in the 63h I played the game.. Except in MP were every console and PC have issues with freezing. But those load times..
@#40 Those comments also doesn't say it ever will or even can. Saying FB2 doesn't work implies FB3 doesn't either. What direction do you think the PR team figured that stament would go? Buy a Ps3/XOne our games work their. That is their statement during a time when U wasn't selling to projection was intended to do damage.
@Peach64 You know full well that they made those comments with the tone that it was not going to happen so go buy a Ps4/XOne instead. Yes technically I don't remember them saying it will never run, but what idea did their carefully chosen comments give consumers? Perception is reality. Do a search and you;'ll see most articles and forums are full of people saying it CANT run because of the limitations U has. So I agree that even just saying it could work is a flip flop on their part. It shows a clear change in tone.
@Kaihaku EA has been on my S*it list for the same reason. I agree 100% about Origin systems. They really did create worlds and EA destroyed them. Gone are the games like Privateer, Wingcommander(Same Universe), Ultima, lesser known apple game 2400 AD, and many other wonderful worlds they created. Thanks for that EA....

Re: Luigi Can Be Unlocked As A Secret Playable Character In Super Mario Bros. 35
@adh56 If you complete every level you've unlocked(star next to level number) you'll get a new one.
Also if you finish any level you don't already have while playing a match, you'll unlock that level too.
