@OpheliaDynamight They act as if even IF a game's files are fully on a cart that it's the best experience. Almost every game in existence these days requires an update or has DLC. You will rarely if ever, get the full, complete game on the cartridge. The Digital aspect of games cannot be avoided anymore.

@krogp Get over it already. Digital is the future.

I'm so confused....what do you mean it wasnt running at 1080p?

@Suketoudara How is she a girl boss? She literally starts out with zero confidence and gains her bravery over the course of the game. She's terrified when you first find her. And she relies heavily on DK to help her, and DK needs her singing abilities for the Bananza abilities. They're partners. A girl boss is a female character who is practically flawless and is good at everything. Pauline is NOT that in the slightest.

Also her dialog at the Getaways is the most genuinely the most charming part about the game.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 NEEDS to be 60 FPS to work. The reaction time required for a lot of attacks would be far more difficult at 30 or even 40 fps. It's pretty frame perfect a lot of the time. I couldn't imagine beating some of the game's super bosses at half the frame rate.

@mattmayatt Because this is nothing like Mario Kart World and is fun in its own right?

@Elitepatriot You are not a City Trial believer it seems. You are unenlightened.

@_747_ You're missing out. Racing isn't even the main event tbh. Sakurai even says so himself. City Trial is where it's at baby!

@Roger_Brazil Ah yes, a game that is absolutely not related to Mario Kart World, does not play at all like Mario Kart World and doesn't even feature Mario characters could be DLC for Mario Kart World.

Did you even think your statement through? Is Mario Kart the only racing game allowed to exist in your opinion? Because that's really dumb if so.

City Trial alone sets this worlds apart for Mario Kart World. Get real.

@Dom_31 Was the shade really necessary?

@OmnitronVariant I think you just don't like Sakurai's games then. The original Kirby Air Ride reused Melee's menu style and UI as well you know.

I respect Nintendo for still making experimental games like this, but this isn't my cup of tea. The gameplay looks very basic, the graphics aren't much to look at and I'm just not into sports games unless they have the word Wii in front of them. For $20 you could do a whole lot worse I guess but nothing I've seen really speaks to me.

This feels like ARMS where they'll support it out the gate but then quickly fizzle out. I don't see this game having any sort of longevity and it probably won't be talked about after this year. I would be pleasantly surprised if they proved me wrong though. Maybe the Marketing just sucks? Guess we'll wait and see.

People are quick to judge but you really can't blame Nintendo for being cautious as to who can use their IP.

You can say "It's for Charity!" all you want but what is the history of this specific charity? Are they a clean organization? Do they actually deliver on what they promise? Vetting charities to ensure the IP is used properly and the proceeds actually go to a good cause is NOT a bad thing.

They didn't even ask for permission to use the games so honestly, that's on them.

@Krambo42 Ahh gotcha. I'm pretty new to CarPlay so I was wondering what you meant. That makes sense. Normally I just put the "Top Nintendo Music Tracks" playlist on shuffle and don't really think about it.

@Krambo42 It has CarPlay. Just got back from a drive and it worked with CarPlay just fine. Works about as well as Spotify imo. What's missing?

I'm surprised America and Europe outsold Japan. I thought Japan was obsessed with the Switch? I figured they'd go crazy over it. Should we be concerned about that?

@Thomystic I appreciate the concern but honestly, I think it's on me for my comment sounding condescending. I can see how someone can read it and assume that I'm dogging on Atari because I only bring up the more negative things. It wasn't my intent, but I think I could've worded myself better lol.

@Zeebor15 Honestly, I just didn't pay attention to Atari. I only assumed they were a graveyard of Retro rereleases, so I always write them off. I had no idea they were doing more than just that. Which I guess is on me. But I'll be sure to do so going forward.

@ShieldHero What has Atari done recently? Genuinely asking. Every time I hear about them, it's either a Vaporware Kickstarter Project or a Retro compilation.

@ArcticEcho Hell yeah, you hit the nail on the head there. Not every game needs to be this deep experience, some can just be fun pick up and play experiences. I'm not sure what to expect for this game but I fully trust Sakurai is putting his all into it. Kirby is his baby after all.

God I love these games. Guys if you've never heard of them, the AI Somnium File games are masterworks of amazing storytelling and puzzle solving. I absolutely adore this series.

The first game is a gem and I recommend starting there just so you get a sense of everyone. it has an incredible strong narrative and an absolutely curve ball of a twist. It also features multiple routes so there's plenty of character exploration throughout.

The second game Nirvana Initiative is a delightful follow up but it's unfortunately one of those cases where a sequel is afraid to be a sequel. They dumbed down Date's character for instance because exploring him further would require spoiling the first game. And the case in this game is completely unrelated to the case in the second. But this is still a fantastic game that I absolutely recommend. Despite its flaws, it stands strong on its own two feet.

Seriously, give these games a try. They are a WILD ride.

Man, the Air Ride hate in this thread is disappointing. I loved the original game's simplicity and how arcade-like it felt. It was a game for when you wanted quick, thrilling action. And of course, City Trial was brilliant. The fact the vocal critics of this game don't seem to understand that is just sad.

@Miu Modding shouldn't be allowed either as modding clearly leads to piracy and in worse cases, hacking. I don't want my Mario Kart room jacked up because some jerk decided to hack his game.

"Fans" complaining about not being able to pirate Nintendo games on their Switch is peak hilarity. Emulation is for preservation of old games, not duplicating and stealing current gen games still on shelves.

@Harmonie Game prices were already $70 for Sony and Microsoft.

Lmao this is absolutely on the developer. Polish your game before you release it, it's not a difficult concept. Plenty of Indie devs can publish their games just fine it seems. In fact, it's actually too easy to do when you get the sheer of volume of garbage shovelware that's present on the eShop.

Says more about them than it does Nintendo. I haven't heard of this game before but now I definitely won't be picking it up with the incredible amount of entitlement they're showing.

@mlt No, just make another Three Houses. Engage is Dogwater on all 3 fronts. I honestly don't understand how people believe its gameplay is superior. I vastly prefer the 3H Calendar and support system, the hate for it is ridiculous.

This Battle mode is CHEEKS dude, they didn't even try. Only two modes? One of them being the worst mode from 8 Deluxe? No last man standing option for Balloon battle? The Battles take place on TRACKS AGAIN? And it doesn't even make use of the Free Roam Mode???

Nah dude, this is so lazy it's not even funny. They could've at least done like a Fortnite Style battle royale across the whole map but that would've bene too much fun I guess.

Disappointing, but fine I guess. Seems like Nintendo is set in their ways on this one. What I'm questioning is how the hell will Gamecube games on NSO work? I know Sunshine had some workarounds in the 3D All Stars pack, but surely they can't do the same kind of thing for every game, right?

@HRdepartment It's a good thing no game is actually $90...

Digital is king anyway. The convenience is unmatched.

@Abeedo It isn't valid BECAUSE they're ex-Nintendo employees that haven't worked there for years but NintendoLife likes to pretend that they have valuable insider knowledge. All they spout are opinions based on outdated internal company knowledge for clicks. It's REALLY annoying, especially since they rarely have anything nice to say anymore.

@PizzaKing Same. I don't know why NintendoLife acts like their knowledge is important. All they were to Nintendo were PR people. They might have some insider info on some of their internal politics but its been years since they've worked there at this point.

Have you noticed that they ALWAYS have something negative or "revealing" to say? It's all for clicks and nothing else. Truth is, they don't know anything about how current Nintendo operates and only pretend to based on outdated knowledge from positions that weren't even THAT close to the higher ups at the company to begin with. They're just grifters pretending to be insiders. At the end of the day, they don't know anymore than you or I.

@thaimbomb Oh look another troll. Go shower and touch some grass

@ManaOwls How is this Mid Gen in anyway? Brother we are getting 4K 60 FPS on this thing. The console even supports 120FPS HDR. The upgrade is phenomenal here, far more than I was personally expecting.

I mean, I welcome more competition I guess. Competition keeps companies in check, so anything that makes Nintendo fight for the top spot is a good thing in my book. Although I have zero faith in Microsoft's ability to market a game console. They have no clue what they even are anymore.

@Henmii At 30 FPS? Sure. But this game targets a locked 60. Ain't no way you're getting any more detail out of the original hardware, this is a good as it gets.

@Henmii How? The game looks gorgeous, very much in the vein of Prime Remastered which is considered to be one of Switch 1's best looking games. I honestly think comments like this are especially dim considering this is and always has been a Switch 1 game. What were you expecting? Do you think the Switch can suddenly pull power out of thin air to make this game look like a PS5 game? Have realistic expectations. Your disappointment is on you.

It's insane that these two act like sales and global marketing experts when they were just....PR people that had a quirky YouTube show. You know they only said this for engagement and sadly, we're playing right into their hands. I really dislike these two, they need to let it go already.

Yikes. Why is it so do or die? Do Dangonronpa games not sell well? Zero Escape is also pretty popular from what I gather. What's going on here?

God, that's so HOT 🥵🥵🥵💦

Us: "Hey Nintendo, could you MAYBE pick up the pace and release multiple albums a week on your music app?"

Nintendo: "Hmmm....you know what? Sure. We here at Nintendo understand your desire to listen to our music and engage with our content outside of our games. So we're going to drop THREE soundtracks on the service for this week."

Us: "THREE?! Wow! Okay, awesome! What are they? Tears of the Kingdom? Fire Emblem Three Houses? Xenoblade Chronicles X releases this week, so maybe that game? Oooh or maybe a classic like F-Zero GX or Kirby Air Ride???"

Nintendo: "Better than that! Here's our soundtracks for Dr. Mario, and TWO versions of Tetris, the NES and Gameboy soundtrack! ENJOY!"

Us: "......The Monkey's Paw curls once again."

I 110% agree. It can obviously be a case by case basis depending on what kind of game you're making, but ultimately if a game is Japanese in nature, it should cater to that audience.

Take Persona for instance. The culture within each game is heavily Japenese centric and I wouldnt want it any other way. I've learned so much about different foods, social cues and practices because of these games. I can't tell you how many times I've Googled a certain food or what "Senpai" actually means. And Japenese centric games just have a certain look, feel and appeal and it would be a damn shame if that was left behind. It's a part of their culture that I welcome wholeheartedly.

Western games have their place but gaming would be very boring if it just appealed to America and Europe.

@mariomaster96 It has been confirmed that you can choose the flight music in the options menu.

That being said

@echoplex I'm sorry you hate peak. Don't worry, we can't all have good taste. 😉

@N00BiSH I don't understand how creating an entirely different button scheme for menus is more intuitive than jut making it the same across both Bros. Sounds like you just have rose tinted glasses here.

@N00BiSH It IS a problem though because like I said, it would fundamentally change how the plug menu works for both Bros so it makes sense to streamline it. It's really not a big deal anyway, I don't know why you're letting it bother you so much.

@N00BiSH This is such a non-issue. I don't understand why people are so upset about. Sure, it trips up muscle memory but it's not a bug at all. And plus, making Luigi's actions tied to B would effect how the Plug menu works which would be confusing.

I admit, it did trip me up at first but I got over it after the first few areas. Once you get used to it, it's second nature like anything else.

@stache13 You are missing out on absolute peak. Have more patience. It's very much worth it.

Banning X from this forum is a stupid move. X is social media. Get over it. News is news. If the source is reliable, it should be posted regardless where it's from.
