It looks like controlling the two characters would be annoying. Having her on his back the entire time just looks weird. In God of War at least the son walks and attacks on his own and you just press a button for arrows.

@Buizel It was generally accepted and predictable back then. Some people could wait until the third version of the generation to come out and buy it. The cost was also cheaper. $40 for the third version plus $40 for the first one. Now its $70 for the main game (Switch 2), $30 for the DLC. DLC used to be $20 as well.

Well, again, the third version of Pokemon was predictable, so people already knew it was coming. I don't recall other games doing other than the enhanced editions and remakes for the next console generation. Announcing DLC before the game comes out makes you wonder why they didn't delay the game and release it completed with that DLC in the game already.

Gamefreak isn't going to come out and say "yeah, this DLC we are releasing later is already done." In only 2 months they were able to create everything in the DLC? All of the art, coding, modelling, coming up with new megas, composing the music, writing, and translations? I doubt it.

@Shhh Sadly, the DLC is going to sell more than Silksong.

@DominionGamma The DS era had the best postgames. gens 4 and 5, and especially gen 2 remake HeartGold/SoulSilver. Even the Pokemon Mystery Dungeons on the DS had great postgames.

@Buizel Back then, it was done (most of the time, I know not always) to port the game to other console generations or handheld game > console. They added content to give people a reason to double dip if they already bought the game in the previous generation.

They also didn't announce they would be releasing the same game with more content later on before the game released. Pokemon Z-A announced the DLC before the game even came out.

They also didn't cut content that was completed already from their games to add later on in a later release. You can't tell me the Pokemon Z-A DLC wasn't already done, the amount of reused assets is immense. I'd say the Donkey Kong Bananza DLC was already done as well. It released way too quick

Remember when Pokemon postgames were free? I can't believe they are charging $30 for a postgame that was already made before the game released.

DF is terrible, no one li- Oh, wait, they are praising a game on Switch... ahem I love DF they are the best...

It's weird that Diddy Kong and Funky Kong aren't in the game. Hopefully it will be a "Donkey Kong series" DLC that adds them in as well. Maybe Baby DK as well to add to the baby roster.

@TheWokesterGamer The "PSC" is a typo, it is supposed to be "PC". In the article it says "Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition has seen the biggest jump in numbers, going from 24th last week to 6th this week; most of those sales have come from the PC and PS5 versions, but the Switch 2 release has pulled in a solid 9% of sales."

There is a physical copy for PC, but only for the original, not the "Ultimate Edition" and I doubt the physical version still sells for new. Ultimate Edition on PC is the original game + Phantom Liberty. It was 50% off this week, so maybe that is why it saw a huge bump in sales

I don't know why it is counted for this week's chart since it is suppose to be physical only I thought.

Sonic X adaption?

I doubt Metroid Prime 4 will appear in the top 40 either. It is almost as niche as Kirby Air Riders

I doughnut see why anyone would think they are referencing Groudon and Kyogre.

Hopefully if it is an update, they add themes and folders. Oh wait, wrong console.

I'm pretty sure that after a year of these events it will go back around to the first event so that people who couldn't get a chance to do them all can get them.

I'm sure/I hope they are aware that if people keep seeing that they won't be able to get all the content from the $20 DLC, people just won't buy it.

I can't wait for "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie The Game"

I get that it is convenient to have multiple docks if you have multiple TVs and the official dock is expensive, but I just wouldn't risk buying a third party dock for a $449 or $499 console that could potentially get bricked.

I only got one dock and I just move my dock to the other TV if I want to use that TV. It is a pain with all the wires from my other consoles are all over the place, but it is what it is.

@KoopaTheGamer I know bugs existed since the beginning of gaming, but you usually had to look for them. If you were just playing the game normally without trying to break it, you wouldn't run into major glitches unless you're playing Sonic 2006.
it just feels like devs release games before they are finished and then fix the bugs later just because they can. Instead of hiring game testers, they make the consumers the game testers.

@Styledvinny79 The update isn't out on Switch 1/2 yet. The patch notes says the update released on PC November 3rd and consoles will get it in a few days. In the Switch section of the patch list, it says "We are aware that Switch patches have been lagging behind other platforms and taking longer than expected to release. This is due to certification timelines and we intend to release them as soon as possible. " So Switch 1/2 will get it later than other consoles.

I remember when the PVZ game released on the DS and it wasn't riddled with bugs that needed to be patch.

It will release as a Switch 3 launch title

I'm just going to act like this game doesn't exist and stay interested in the Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave that comes out next year...

Yeah, I'll just be window shopping.

@Cloudman Oh no, you got to have an online subscription to play an online global test run, FOMO! "FOMO" is quickly losing it's meaning.

I'd take Metroid Prime 2 on the NSO and then Prime 3 remake, even if it doesn't make sense...

@Solomon_Rambling It looks like 2nd place was on his tail the whole time he was 1st though. Metaknight and the Shadow Star could also be a powerful combination too.

Even if this isn't the type of game you are into, you can't deny that there is a lot of love and care put into this game. To me, it looks better than Mario Kart World.
It is like the opposite of the Gamecube days where I liked Mario Kart Double Dash more than Kirby Air Ride.

I finished Bananza last month, but I didn't get the DLC because of what you get for the price it is at, it doesn't seem worth it to me. $20 DLC in other games have a lot more to offer, so if there is ever a sale for the DLC that brings it down to $10 I might get it, though I don't remember if Nintendo ever does sales with their DLC....

I wish they would have never went 3d, and I feel like Gamefreak feels the same. Black and White 1/2 was the best Pokemon ever looked, and we would probably have HD-2d Pokemon instead of GameCube graphics and we wouldn't have to worry about if they should have voice actors or not.

So glad they're still making games on the GameCube!

@Erigen It's the jacket that is making the arms look like that, the female avatar's arms are also doing that, but it is a bit less noticeable due to the angle. The whole outfit looks too big on both of them, just look at the female avatar's lower pants leg by her ankles. She could fit three of her legs in each pant leg.

Just like everyone else, I'll be galloping over to Game of the Year contender "Barbie: Horse Trails" for my stable Switch

This game should've...Stayed in the shadows.

$25 for something people will look at for less than an hour before putting it on their shelf or closet to collect dust...

Excited for the game since I played the original Gamecube version a lot...But I wasn't planning on getting the amiibo, and definitely not doing it now with the price revealed. The game, DLC, and amiibo prices are just crazy this gen. Of course it isn't just Nintendo, as other companies are overpricing their games as well ($129.99 to get everything in the Borderlands 4 game??)

@AussieMcBucket Just bought it before it got taken off the Eshop! The opening cutscene alone blew my mind!

I just can't wait for the all-digital future where games can be removed by companies just because they feel like it.

They are going to restart the development again. Please look forward to Metroid Prime 2 remake until Prime 4 is ready. Prime 4 will be a Switch 3 launch title that plays 120fps with a Switch 2 edition at 60 fps

Best Gameplay: Donkey Kong...Best Game: Mario Kart World? Are these really experts deciding this? Mario Kart World has the best soundtrack no doubt compared to any title on the Switch 2, but even graphics wise I think both Mario Kart World and Bananza are about even, so what does Mario Kart World do better than Bananza other than soundtrack and...having an online mode I guess?

I'd get chibi robo, but my gaming plans are packed since I already plan to get New Super Mario Bros Wii when it comes out next week. If Nintendo makes another chibi robo on the Wii or the rumored Wii 2 I might get the Gamecube one quicker as practice though. But Galaxy 2 is supposed to come out next year, so I doubt they would make another big 3d platformer for the Wii....Is what I would have said if I commented in 2009

Nice try, this video is 100% AI since Silksong isn't real

I bet that made some people unhappiny.

Why is everyone complaining about Nintendo for the no upgrade path or save data transfer? The same thing is happening on PS4/PS5 version of this game as well.

"Numerous games, alternate media, and supplemental material depict Mario and Peach as having mutual romantic affection for each other as well as a friendship. In Mario Party 5, Peach and Mario are called "Cutest Couple," and the official guide for Mario Party 8 states that Peach is the apple of Mario's eye. In the official guide of Yoshi's Island DS, the description for Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo mentions the "romantic entanglements" in their adult lives, while the official Mario Kart: Double Dash!! guide reads, "Aw, isn’t that cute? Mario and Peach are together again." In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Peach calls Mario her "knight in shining armor," and in the first Paper Mario, one of the Toads tells Mario to take Peach on a date to Shooting Star Summit. In Super Princess Peach, after Peach rescues Mario, she enthusiastically calls and runs towards him and happily dances with him in celebration. Rosalina refers to Peach as Mario's "special one" in Super Mario Galaxy, with the two seen holding hands toward the ending of the game. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Lubba and two other Lumas refer to Peach as Mario's "special one." Mario Power Tennis even goes as far as showing Mario himself telling Peach of his love for her in Peach's victory scene, which she responds to with a smile and a blown kiss. Also, in Mario's victory scene in Mario Power Tennis, Peach gives him a small kiss on his cheek."

Google should have it so that if you type in "what do true warriors strive for?" it would list dinner options near you.

Could have gotten a Pokemon Conquest or Mystery Dungeon quality spinoff but we got a Pokemon Dash quality one instead...This could have been an email.

I really hope that if it is a next gen announcement, they don't release it until 2027 or later so that they can polish the game as much as possible. Pokemon Legends ZA is the only Pokemon game that should release this year, then maybe a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (or Explorers of Sky remake) or Lets Go gen 2 for 2026, nothing that takes too much resources from their next gen.

The performance seems good enough to me. Even some PS5 games I have also dips in performance sometimes, so it doesn't bother me so much. I preordered the game today, I'm sure it will be a blast!

As much as I dislike people pirating games that are still being made either physical or able to buy digitally, especially indie devs that need every sale they can get to survive, it seems like a waste of resources to go after these sites when only a small percentage of gamers actually pirate. Taking down these sites aren't going to make pirates suddenly buy games, they will just wait for the next big site to come around.

It is still odd to me how Miyamoto came up with the blow move in the Donkey Kong Country Returns. A lot of his ideas are good, but then some of them don't make sense.
