Synecdoche

Good news. I hope we can get a Miitopia 2 for Switch 2.

Siliconera gave it a perfect 10.

Mario Kart World has sold 9.57 million units, and the Switch 2 has sold 10.36 million units? That’s quite the attach rate.

@SillyG I didn’t know that about Switch 2 editions, thank you.

My copy arrived today so I’m glad to hear it’s not terrible lol

@CurryPowderKeg79 It does (just not in the West) so I guess you will!

I read that title without the “L” and was confused and intrigued at the same time.

I was in Target the other day and they had about 15 of the base package, plus however many Mario Kart bundles. I’m not too worried.

This was nice to read. Thanks.

I have the base game for Switch 1 on a cart, I’ll stick with that.

@Athropos They were hardly whining, they just stated their opinion. If anything, you were more dramatic with your ALL CAPS.

Seems long overdue but okay.

@FrenchVaniIIuxe NOA doesn’t make games either. It sells and markets them. She’s the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. How is she not qualified?

@Rooty Thanks, I never knew. Looks like the Genesis game was in June ‘91, and the Master System version came out in November.

Sonic the Hedgehog was on the Master System?

My son really liked this one. I’ll keep an eye out.

That top seems like it would be unnecessarily annoying to put on and make sure that it was always sitting properly. Looking forward to the game though.

@Slideaway1983 One that you can see through.

And now I have a reason to buy a Switch 2.

@CasualTalkRadio Letters are symbols too lol

@eaglebob345 I think they do pretty well all over.

The final question needs an ‘Other’ option.

@Ryu_Niiyama Film studios like Disney and Warner Bros. have archives. They hold on to film stock, props, concept art, etc. for remastered home entertainment releases at increasingly higher resolutions over time, directors’ cuts, featurettes, etc. I imagine music labels do the same with regard to master recordings.

“But, at the same time, it shows the business viability of the strategy RPG genre.”

Is this something that needs to be proven at this point?

The mention of ActRaiser gave me Populous flashbacks.

I don’t know about that font.

@boxyguy Kind of the Disneyfication of Nintendo. I agree, it’s not necessarily bad.

My kids and I have had a lot of fun with the first one. Looking forward to this.

@RupeeClock Didn’t Toyota make that one?

I guess the correct version is no version.

Looks like I’ll stick with the base game then.

@progx To be fair, who else is he supposed to comment for? All he can do is express his own opinion, as requested by the writer at the end of the article.

@Liam_Doolan Thanks. Too bad, I’d have considered it if they were physical.

Is it physical?

Nothing amusing about it.

Ash and Askr in Fire Emblem Heroes are bovine so she would fit right in there…maybe a long-list relative with special powers.

@MarioBrickLayer I wanted to make sure to reply to you and include that description because I’ve found that often people will say of a movie or a game that there’s nothing at all inappropriate in it for children — but they may not be remembering everything that occurred in the game; different parents have different standards for what they want their kids to experience; and of course every child is different too.

This looks like a good game but I won’t be buying it at this point either. I also didn’t buy It Takes Two for the same reason.

@MarioBrickLayer FWIW, the ESRB site says: “Combat is highlighted by cries of pain, blood-splatter effects, and explosions. Boss battles also depict violence and/or blood: a hydra getting its head cut off, with blood-splatter effects; characters impaled. A handful of scenes depict crude humor: pigs propelling themselves via flatulence; monkeys throwing feces at characters. The word ‘sh*t’ appears in the game.”

@JackieCMarlow If you're assuming they knocked two points off the score for having two cons, then you'd also have to assume that joys are worth one point each as well. Which means that, with six Joys and two Cons, this review score would have been...a four out of ten. So clearly that's not what they're doing.

@Jayenkai Same. RMX looks good but it was too hard for me so I didn’t play it very much.

@-wc- You engaged with this article by commenting on it twice, so it did its job 😉

Hopefully these aren’t $30 each like the Street Fighter ones.

@Dimey DK isn’t even a launch title so it’s really one game lol

For new games isn’t it just Mario Kart? Given that the system was originally supposed to release last year, I’m shocked they didn’t have a new mainline 3D Mario game ready to go.

This is me. I'm sure that I'll get one eventually, but not now.

$30 each? Good lord.

I didn’t even know you could turn it off.

"Part of us wishes we didn't have to pay for it"

You don't. Ignore it.

If they were Hall effect sticks, surely they would’ve said so by now, no?

Looks just fine to me.

“The sworded issue”?
