I didnt know this game was still going. Last time I played it was when I went to New York in 2017 hoping to find different Pokémon then I did where I lived. I didnt so after that I stopped playing.
@WaveBoy Yeah I dont have a Switch 2 either nothing has striked my interest. I am honestly more excited about the Steam Machine more then anything the big 3 console companies are putting out.
@WaveBoy Yeah after the Wii/DS era video games was alot less being innovative and more let's pump out the next sequel thats exactly like the last game with a few minor tweets.
I miss when game companies would be so innovative. There is no way in this day and age that we would get a game like Super Mario Bros 2 or Castlevania II or Zelda II. Companies are just to scared nowadays.
@WaveBoy Yeah I bet. As much as I enjoyed Mario 64 and then Sunshine during that time I always wanted a new 2D Mario. So I bet it just felt awesome to have a new one with all the new stuff like the mega mushroom and new abilities. I dont know why I didnt get it untill years later, I had a DS at the time but for some reason I didnt play it till I got a used copy at a garage sale about 10 years ago. As I said earlier it felt alot better then its Wii counter part which I played before hand. Ah well I guess better late then never. You can tell that that game came out when Nintendo was firing on all cylinders and were really putting there time into making a game a magical experience rather the churning out another same old game like now and shortly after the Wii/DS era.
I played it years later in fact my first New game was New Super Bros Wii. However when I went back and played New Super Mario Bros I enjoyed it alot more then Wii. I dont what it was maybe the level design was just better on the DS outing. Even compared to newer ones like NSMB2 or NSMBU the first one just felt better. I wasnt there day one so I bet the DS one just felt magical to return to a 2D Mario game after years of 3D Mario. @Waveboy were you lucky enough to experience New Super Mario Bros day one?
@Zuljaras Yeah I can definitely replay Origins no problem and Odyssey is still on my backlog, but Valhalla once was good enough for me and as you said its not really the setting or characters it was just the pacing.
@Zuljaras Assassins Creed Valhalla was very bloated. As much as I liked the setting and game play that game just overstayed its welcome. Not a bad game just unnecessary long.
Wow just wow. Thank you Captain Obvious. Of course you are going to make game for a console what would be the point of making a console in the first place.
In other words they are going to raise the price because they know people will continue to buy their products no matter the price.
@AlonditeFE What does that have to do with Nintendo raising the price of the Switch. Last I looked Trump didnt own Nintendo. I get it not alot of people are not fans of Trump but blaming him for everything is a bit childish.
Unfortunately since I just lost my job I wont be able to afford one and wont be getting one when the price goes up. If I do get one later I will buy it used to get around Nintendo's greed.
@Coalescence What about Player's Choice games during the SNES and Gamecube era?
Lets be honest with ourselves. You dont need to defend Reggie its not like your Nintendo consoles will stop working cause you you dont accept him for the joke that he is. This was Reggie more worried about make himself look good then keeping the customer's happy.
@whitemage I highly doubt that was the reason, its Reggie painting a bad picture of Amazon to make himself look good while refusing to lower prices on games during that generation. Dont believe a word this guy says.
Another screw up by Reggie. This guy's was the worst thing about Nintendo and just treated it like one bug joke. He wasnt interested in helping Nintendo just using them to further his career.
One of the main reasons I didn't buy to many new Wii and DS games during that time is because they never went down in pricing compared to say Xbox or PS3 games. I usually rented them through Gamefly or my local library and bought them from Gamefly or flea markets during that time. Thank you for that Reggie I guess your ego was more important then Nintendo.
Mafia: The Old Country (Series X) Just joined the Family. Really enjoying this one and where its going.
Graveyard Keeper (Series X) I cant say no to a free game. Played this a bit during the pandemic so it's been awhile. Will be starting a new game this weekend.
River City Ransom (NSO) Will be doing a playthrough of my favorite Kunio game in honor of its creator's passing earlier this week.
A Link Between Worlds has my vote. Being stuck on the 3DS it needs to come to the Switch especially how much 3DS are now.
Personally I want this game to come to Switch so I can finally finish it. Its one of the few Zelda games I have not finished and not because I dont want to but because Nintendo chooses to keep it forever tied to the 3DS.
Now that I finished off Borderlands 3 I will be digging into my backlog.
Mafia: The Old Country (Series X) I have always enjoyed the Mafia series and so far this one is not disappointing. Currently on Chapter 4 of the story.
Visions of Mana (Series X) Will be trying to get back to this one. So far I am enjoying it.
Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC) After the announcement that the next Heroes game is coming soon it gave me the itch to play this game again.
@Por-E-Gone Just wait till the resellers start popping up for this item. I remember when the Dungeon and Dragons movie came out and they had a popcorn bucket shaped like a 20 sided die. A few hours later scalpers where selling them for as high as $500 on eBay.
@x3King84 Right. That's what always cracks me up with people who want to argue about digital and physical. They act like the companies always produce physical copies but honestly they stop making new ones its just the second hand market that keeps selling the physical copies. To be honest people could do the same after the digital is removed granted they would have to sell the whole account.
@AlanaHagues A little warning would have been nice. Nintendo Life should have ran article saying it was going to be delisted. Pure Xbox did for a few games that were delisted from the XBL store last month and Push Square has done it in the past. Not sure why Nintendo Life didn't.
They havent released one the past few Olympics which surprised me. I loved playing those games with my son every Olympics and I am sure I am not the only one. I guess Nintendo doesnt like money.
