@OmnitronVariant Says the person who's actively arguing with people, insulting them AND being a wet blanket in the Air Riders forum? Sure, sure.

@OmnitronVariant

"I HATE Video games, actually."

-You, probably.

@Serpenterror Why does being a spin off make it lesser? That makes no sense. Do you never buy Mario Kart? Mario Sports games? Hyrule Warriors? Smash Bros? You’re acting as if spin offs inherently have less content but this game has so much to do in it. I implore you to expand your horizons

Sounds like a solid game with a solid score! I already have the game preordered and ready to go! I’m just super excited to delve into a Sakurai passion project, the man and his team make such addicting, simple yet deep video games that have high replayability and focus on fun. They just have a certain… je ne sais quoi to them.

If this game didn’t gel with you during the Global Test ride, PLEASE just give it time to simmer. As the review states, there is a learning curve despite the fact the game only uses three buttons. It’s truly fun when you master its chaos.

@OmnitronVariant This is what we call having bad taste. You’ll eat up Mario Kart but won’t give true Chaos a chance? Cowards. Unenlightened cowards. I scoff at your narrow minded Worldview. Scoff I say!

@iLikeUrAttitude Damn, I can’t even be mad, that was a good roast

@Hawkes142 ...Were we playing the same game? How is Air Riders now fast enough for you? City Trial is so insane, sometimes I have no clue what's even going on. It's WAY faster than the original.

@iLikeUrAttitude

Your username is a lie. It seems you did not like my attitude.

@Grimley141 I'm convinced you hate fun.

The amount of people who are saying "Not Interested" is so depressing. I don't want to hear complaints about incomplete or overpriced games. This game has so much content packed into it and is complete on release. And it's damn good. But sure, go ahead and write it off. You all who answered that, lack taste.

Sometimes I feel like some of you don't even like video games if you're not willing to give games like this a shot.

I've preordered and bought digitally. If you somehow get the sense to change your minds, you can find me in City Trial.

Honestly, if you use a third party dock, that's entirely your fault. Official hardware or bust.

Wow, I love the blatantly pathetic attempt to promote your new Digital Foundry site with a piece of hardware that has absolutely nothing to do with Nintendo because this system is....cube shaped? Come on guys....this ain't it.

@Oliver-1984 It sounds like you're just idolizing one corporation over another. Valve isn't your friend either y'know.

@Ultimapunch Fear mongering at its finest. Game prices go up every other generation and gaming has always been an expensive luxury hobby. And comparatively, they're cheaper than they were in the SNES/N64 era.

Not sure why you brought up the secondhand market. They're just as bad, if not, worse since the games are used and are barely cheaper. And don't even get me started on the Retro Market. It's criminally overpriced.

And again, every game needs an update these dats so what you buy physically is NOT going to be the game you get 20 years down the line after the Switch 2 is long obsolete. Then you throw in things like DLC and it gets even more complicated. You don't just simply plug in a game and play anymore, it hasn't been that way since 2011 before the Wii U.

I bet the same people getting bent out of shape about this will happily go to steam and download their digital game.

Seriously, you guys need to get over it. Digital is the future. Most games aren't even complete in box anymore and require at least SOME sort of download.

You're fighting a losing battle. Just accept it and move on.

It's peak cinema, that's why. End article.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant Ironic you talk about Nintendo being out of touch when F-Zero has lost all relevancy outside of Smash. Nobody knows who Captain Falcon is.

@Styledvinny79 That's Air Ride for you. Didn't play the original I'm guessing? It's not supposed to be Mario Kart.

@topsekret Thanks! I'm happy to report that I'm really enjoying it so far! Almost through the Loguetown Arc at the end of the East Blue Saga. Episode 51 of 1149. I'm really enjoying the world building and character development a ton, especially Nami during the Arlong Park arc.

I don't really have a goal of when to finish this in mind, I'm just trying to watch when I can and enjoy the ride. I'm in it for the long haul, so I'm trying not to concern myself with how much I have left.

There's a quote that I watched from a YouTube video that convinced me to try to climb this mountain.

"1,000+ episodes may seem impossible when you're starting out, but when you finally catch up, and you get to know these characters and their world, you'll be wishing you had 1,000 more with them."

So, it's about the Journey, not the Destination for me!

And The road to Dragon Quest 12 continues to look bleaker by the day....

I just started watching One Piece! I'm currently 17 episodes deep out of 1,149. Two days in. Wish me luck....

Getting a 60 fps update to Sunshine would've been lovely....

@roy130390 Big Brother got you real good lol.

Virtual Console is an overrated format and NSO is better in every respect. The Netflix format works much better for Retro games, NOBODY is purchasing even half of the NSO catalogue on their own. People who gas it up need a reality check.

I'm usually not one to take pride in someone's struggle but Randy Pitchford being forced to actually make an acceptable game and eat his own words is SO satisfying.

Feel bad for the devs though. But at least they're getting extra hours I guess? Hope they're not being crunched too hard.

Seeing as how the BASE PS4 version runs at 60 fps, the fact that this version doesn't is completely unacceptable. Lazy optimization. DO NOT buy this.

@N00BiSH I liked the story but canon wise it's a mess. I just want consistency.

@N00BiSH Banaza doesn't have that either so I'm not even sure you understand your own point here.

@N00BiSH ...Buddy that's the very definition of story and world building. You NEED canon to establish these things.

Sigh. Look, I know story is never the focus of this series but my God, I just wish there was some sort of continuity. I do hope that eventually, Nintendo ditches their aversion to stories and world building and dabbles a little more into it. Maybe once all of the old management retires we'll have some consistency.

It was a solid 7. Then Fire Emblem showed up at the end! AND it's a sequel to my favorite FE game! So 8.5/10!

This is why Mouse Controls are bigger than people realize.

Aside from mods, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Stardew Valley now has full parity with the PC version of the game.

@Lizuka No, this is stupid. If the game's vision doesn't fit an easy mode, it shouldn't have it. I say this as someone who knows this game isn't for me. I hate stupidly difficult games but I will never tell someone they're wrong for enjoying them or telling the developer to make the game easier. That's just self entitlement. You think it's too hard? That's okay. But stay in your lane.

@Mando44646 YOU'RE bland and uninteresting. See? Doesn't feel so good DOES IT?!?! 😜

I would say it's good. I am content with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong and have also been playing through Tears of the Kingdom again. It's ALMOST an 8 for me but I just wish we had a little bit more. If the backwards compatibility automatically upscaled Switch 1 games to a higher resolution and frame rate, it would be much higher.

@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.
