There’s some all star names here; Greg chun (Ike from fire emblem), David hayter (Solid Snake and Big Boss, excellent choice for kashiwagi) Alejandro Saab (Akihiko Sanada, his voice is nearly perfect for Oda.) Impressive, but not enough for me to pay 70 CAD when I own the original. The people that haven’t played this yet though, I highly recommend playing 0 in some form or another, it’s a masterpiece

@EarthboundBenjy HOW DID YOU DO THAT SO QUICKLY?

I’ve only played about half these games, so I only got half right

@johnedwin Exactly. Nintendo knows people will line up at the door for Mario kart, and about 80% of those YouTube dorks are probably going to raise their flags in surrender and just buy the game anyway.

Not condoning the price by any means, but that’s just reality

Now THAT’S rad.

Everyone deserves to play yakuza 0 on every platform possible. It’s an absolute masterpiece of a game

Kirby air ride: zero gravity for Nintendo kinect

F ZERO GX LIVES AGAIN
NINTENDO MY SOUL IS YOURS

Overall, it was alright. It was a nice change of pace not having the first party catalog be remasters, but actual sequels of old franchises, that’s pretty cool. Was it perfect? No. Was it great? Not really. Was it still a half decent direct? I’d say so. Stuff like marvel and raidou are interesting as well

All these figures these people make are insanely expensive. I could literally buy the whole freakin Prime Trilogy on Wii second hand for less than that figure, which is insane if you see the trilogy prices

Absolutely not. I was on there when the app was at its peak. It was handled atrociously, and the amount of weird and predatory users on there outweighed the normal ones. The content was gross and desperate. Moderation was poor. Why people would have fond memories of such a failure of a social media clone is beyond my understanding. The nostalgia glasses are doing some heavy lifting here for some

@MirrorFate2 Nintendo doesn’t care what people want, they are a giant corporation that is profit-first

I guess you could say with how long it took for Plastic Snake to restock…

They kept us waiting, huh

Fatal fury 2, oh yeah! I’m surprised SNK put this on here, but I’m pumped to play my first fatal fury

A friendly reminder that Groose’s theme is incredible and this video proves it even more

F zero x has been added

@Friendly Id wager that since online multiplayer and features are a huge part of this new Mario party, Nintendo is giving the codes out not only to boost sub numbers and maybe get new subs, but to help people play the online features with little hassle for three months so people resub to keep playing said modes

It’s smart they put the disclaimer there to temper expectations. That aside, im gonna check this museum direct out, if Nintendo had it constructed, it should be very high quality

Excuse me a sec while I play zero mission!

That would be pretty awesome. I’m not even sure if Wario would be anything more than a quick cameo like other characters were in the first one, though

I agree, I can appreciate a chill and slower paced game, but racing games are super fun. It always feels so rewarding when you win! F zero in particular is great, fantastic music and innovative track design

I don’t disagree with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but playing it online with other people globally and winning matches is NOT easy. There are some very very good players out there. Base game is pretty simple though with simple controls

@Bl4ckb100d 1000%.

These comments really make you take a look back and see just how damn annoying this discussion is. 1: Don’t ever say this opinion in front of any gamer if you value your sanity. They will NOT like you for it. 2: I agree (holy **** a true unpopular opinion? Surely you jest!) that the new console doesn’t absolutely NEED backwards compatibility. Would it be freakin awesome if it did? Of course! Is it a WANT and not a NEED? Absolutely. Rumors suggest the new thing uses cartridges as well so what’s stopping the console that uses cartridges from being backwards compatible with a console that also uses cartridges? Felt like that needed to be said. Again. Even if it wasn’t backwards compatible, Nintendo would guaranteed pull a Wii U and port the vast majority of the first party titles over anyways. You’d think this article title was “World War 3 isn’t actually a bad idea” with the backlash to this opinion.

@Synecdoche Totally. Not sure why people think this and TP will be launch titles. When the new console comes out, the majority launch titles and games coming the same year as the console release won’t be remasters. Wind Waker I can see happening the year after the new console releases, easily, to fill the gap between the next original Zelda game. TOTK wasn’t ages ago, it’s quite recent. So expecting Wind Waker so soon is a setup for disappointment

Does f zero 99 on NSO count? If it does, that one

I’m gonna bully everyone who matches with me in F-Zero 99 and I’m gonna love every second of it. Once I get home of course.

Oh yeah, the direct was cool

Time for some shenanigans in the live chat tomorrow, please give me Genealogy Of The Holy War remake, I don’t care about anything else. And if they don’t, I’m still gonna blow my money on some random GCN shadowdrop I bet cause I have a problem

Why do people think the switch pushing past the typical lifespan of a console is a bad thing? People want this new console and have been guessing as to when it would happen since the switch’s 2nd year. Realistically speaking, not everyone can afford a more powerful Nintendo console at the moment. It would cost lots more money and the new games arriving with it would probably be 70$ American as the norm, same as TOTK, cause the games will be higher quality. The switch is the cheapest console on the market, the games, while they almost never go on sale, are cheaper than the competition, and the whole home console/ portable console hybrid still works and is still convenient. Having a cheaper console in the switch saves money while giving up higher processing power and frame rate in exchange. This doesn’t bother me a bit. HD games on the go are good enough for me.

I love that you guys used UltimaShadow’s tweet, and he’s right

I checked over there an hour ago and it’s such a train wreck, who thought this was a good idea?

Definitely possible. More time will definitely be needed to put Uprising on the switch than say Dark Moon. If this doesn’t reappear on the switch, than it’s most likely they’ve already started putting it on whatever console is next.

You know what? I can accept this answer. Mario Kart already sells crazy amounts of copies and makes tons of money (Mario kart 8 is 9 years old and still remains a top 10 game sales staple!) Adding F-Zero racetracks and cars to Mario Kart was a smart way to acknowledge the series in a fitting tribute. Maybe we could see the captain himself alongside the blue falcon in the next Mario kart 👀

(That would be awesome, HD captain falcon)

A solid and somewhat large/consistent game library makes a solid console. The switch is this successful because of its fantastic first party library and it’s exclusive gimmick. Wouldn’t putting popular games like TOTK on PC diminish nintendo console sales? It’s such a dumb take.

Yeah, Arkham City and Knight are massive games. I knew it would be difficult to stuff all three games on one cartridge, especially on the switch

@MythTgr Metroid prime 4 doesn’t have a definitive release date yet. HD ports of Prime 2 and 3 will probably come (if ever, don’t hold your breath here) around the marketing season for Metroid Prime 4, whenever that is. Pikmin 1 and 2 have returned a month before Pikmin 4 to help people familiarize themselves with the franchise, as many haven’t played a pikmin game before. Prime 2 and 3 will have their time eventually, patience is key.

@NiallMitch14 yes. I don’t know why people were expecting this big triumphant return of pikmin 1 and 2 remastered with these reworked visuals and everything rebuilt from the ground up like Prime. The games look and play perfectly fine today, and simply adding little small features and HD upscaling should be more than enough. Not every single HD port going forward has to be Metroid Prime (years of work by lots of extra studios by the way) levels in terms of a remaster. As for the pricing, hm. At least Nintendo sweetens the pot somewhat with their bundle deal for less money.

Yes it is. The game doesn’t have “New” slapped on it, art style is different, Mario and Luigi finally have new voice lines, it’s not that complicated.

@HotGoomba I understood that reference

@Axecon drip feed is a sort of method to keep the NSO relevant and thriving as well, with new releases semi frequently. Just dropping them all at once a few years ago wouldn’t have been as good of a strategy, I agree with you

I think new stages complement the new powers seen in the trailer. Might get something green hill related, not necessarily green hill itself, which is cool. It’s full priced so I’ll wait for a sale.

Persona 5 is the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe of the franchise, it will never die

Well, that was a pretty dumb event. Couldn’t really keep my eyes open past the first 10 minutes

Except Nicolas Cage, he was the highlight. I always have appreciation for Nicolas Cage Cameos

For those anxious and concerned:

Yes there will be an N64 drop this month if Nintendo continues with the schedule of alternating monthly releases between GBA and N64 monthly drops, although I don’t actually think it will be Mario Party 3, but who knows

Anyways, tilt and tumble should be fun, as long as I don’t drop my switch. But how will you play it on docked mode?

Ah man. This one was so simple and so effective. I stopped playing a while ago, but I definitely had a time with this back in the Black/White and X/Y days. The new one looks so damn soulless with those stupid Mark Zuckerberg mega verse avatars and the stupid battle pass. This is Mark Zuckerberg’s meta verse avatar for comparison by the way:

No, there won’t be. It will most likely be the same thing as last year when E3 was canceled. A Direct Mini at the end of June, most likely Partner Direct, and more twitter drops. Wave 5 will be twitter dropped, that’s for sure. Nintendo is attending that event in August, so a direct only two months before makes no sense. September direct will be the next one.

PS: it’s always fun watching social media users and YouTubers breaking down in tears when there’s no June direct, because it’s so forced and over dramatic, like the world will explode if there is no June direct

You can tell Nintendo has absolutely zero hope for this game because it was a random twitter drop and there were no exclamation mark at the end of the announcement sentence. Nintendo seemed like they didn’t want to announce this but it was already finished so they just Twitter dropped it

Nintendo Of Canada for the win! 🇨🇦

Thanks nintendo for allowing us to put “adhd” in our usernames again for some reason

Nintendo if they stuck with the Wii’s winning formula and only made new Wii models similar to the PlayStation’s 1,2,3, etc:

Whoops, sorry guys, it’s actually not the 30th of May. We actually meant the 30th of may, 2024. You know, after the DLC. Makes sense, right, our loyal fan base?

Collabs with other Sega franchises will help this game, I say. Not that Samba can’t stand on his own, but most of the track list for the base game is just stuff that’s popular today
I guess. I don’t know 95% of those songs
