All of those new abilities are super cool. I personally love you can beat enemies over the skull with a long stick and a rake fusion. It's something out of a Wile E Coyote sketch

That’s pretty interesting and silly. Surprised they made it a core mechanic even more so.

@Eagly Arlo’s day has almost arrived

Maybe I am crazy enough to buy this instead of Tears Of The Kingdom. That’s because I am. Looking forward to it.

@mariomaster96 Yeah, I can’t see that either. And they will have to justify that price hike too. I don’t imagine they have been slacking off for six years. As the only first party 70 dollar switch game that isn’t a bundle or gold edition, they will have probably made things worth the asking price, but it all depends on the person whether they think it’s justified or not.

Ascend will be super helpful. Climbing mountains and whatnot will be far easier than in Botw. I appreciate it.

@JeanPaul yeah that is super disappointing. Some forget that it’s a direct sequel and it will expand upon the current game world, hence why things look the same. That’s cause they are.

Ah man, it is truly curtains for E3. From what I heard, Ubisoft was the last somewhat big game company attending E3. Can someone tell me who is left? Cause I don’t see anymore big names here.

Alas, it is truly the end. Although I do see at least a few of these games making random comebacks on future Nintendo system eshops, not sure why.

10 minutes? Those desperate TOTK leakers online predicted 10 minutes? That’s kinda hilarious. But at least its something. I don’t think I’ll be watching cause I have enjoyed the game not being spoiled by Nintendo.

What’s the point if they just gonna lock the crossovers behind a paid battle pass?

@Kirby_Girl the smash community has always hated Brawl for some reason. I really enjoy it as a casual player. The community says stuff like it’s not as competitively viable as melee or some garbage like that. But I would love Brawl to return. My Wii just died and now I have no way to play it.

They aren’t wrong. Melee players are absolute perfectionists. If Nintendo doesn’t straight up port the game with no improvements, no HD, no new content, no new controls, then the melee community… would probably still be a pain in the neck about it. They are justified here.

Try not to have a battle pass in a game challenge

@Hydra_Spectre yeah, the fixes are free, thankfully. Yikes, imagine hiding game fixes behind a paywall! That’s terrifying

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Breath Of The Wild has earned its place. Ocarina of time is phenomenal, but Breath Of The Wild is literally Ocarina but bigger and better looking, minus the ganondorf.

Y’know, I didn’t really need this information today, but its nice to know that Mario’s rotting corpse produces one ups.

What does it mean indeed? Well, it means the master sword finally has weapon durability!

People have kinda ruined the hype. They exaggerate things about the game, leak the plot line, leak the art book, and there’s a select few that are absolutely addicted to the hype for this game. It’s a pain these days.

The only way to open it is to hit it with your fist after throwing it in the air above you

@boxyguy dear heavens.

2007 is a great year for gaming, I agree. Portal, Mario Galaxy, we could keep going.

Why’s it have to be so expensive…

Tetris 99 hasn’t had a themed thing like this for how long? And then they randomly drop an Engage collab. Surprisingly, the music selection from engage actually fits the game a bit! I don’t play this personally, but rejoice that these events have returned! Metroid Prime Remastered collab next would be phenomenal

Updates for a game you don’t own or not going to purchase? That isnt just prepared, that’s straight up locked and loaded

This doesn’t give away a ton. This could mean literally anything. I’m glad that this game is under wraps. I don’t want a second of it spoiled for me.

Got what I needed a year in advance, which wasn’t a lot honestly. I am locked up and ready for Armageddon.

Double hands down, the best dlc is either Smash Ultimate or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, because of the sheer amount of content in each alone! Sakurai said once upon a time “don’t expect too many new fighters since every fighter ever is being brought back” and then he adds 11 dlc characters, tons of music and Mii fighter outfits, and 11 stages to boot. What a legend. And I’m pretty sure we all know the MK8 Deluxe story. 48 new tracks. That is the same amount of tracks in the base Deluxe game! And now 6 additional characters will be added too. Both games have phenomenal dlc.

@MiniKiwiGeek we don’t talk about that

Been holding this game off for months. Once my funds are in place, I’ll take a stab at this game, reviews are solid and I don’t usually miss out on sonic games! I even bought the physical copy of sonic forces, so I’ll be getting this too. Eventually, hopefully around the time the 3rd update rolls out

Do you know that micro game in WarioWare Inc mega microgames where you waited until the duck was in proper range and then you just pressed A to take it down? I feel the original NES duck hunt could function via joystick control, where you aim and tilt the gun with the stick and press A to fire.

Obviously it should be the GameCube game that is incredibly popular and family friendly game with limited violence. Which am I referring to? Shadow The Hedgehog of course!

On a real note, Sega please bring sonic heroes to modern platforms that’s expensive stuff right there.

My real answer is Smash Bros Melee. One of the only ones I haven’t played. Give it a modern look and feel. Throw in an extra character or two if they are feeling adventurous.

Whoever said Path Of Radiance, I second this! We need this, cause this game has never had a rerelease. A remaster in Prime fashion would be terrific!

@TheBeetle Technically they could have done that with every single successful console of theirs. They could be making the Wii 3 or the NES 24. If that happened, the switch might not exist cause Nintendo would be upgrading the same console over and over.

That Samus poster will never not look cool. I assume NA versions of these posters will follow

That’s insane, all for 250? Inflatable Patrick is hilarious but 250 is not just steep, it’s a crazy asking price

Nintendo is fully supporting Prime’s success. I like the sign of this. Pin set, sweepstakes, icons, hoodies, we are getting everything Metroid Prime! Well done metroid fans, Nintendo cannot ignore us any longer! (Kidding. But congratulations everyone for pushing Prime to the moon!)

I can see this randomly appearing on the eshop one day. That would be hilarious to just browse the eshop and say ‘oh, it’s pushmo. ITS PUSHMO!?’

This wouldn’t be a difficult game to put on the NSO. However, it wasn’t announced for the upcoming releases. Maybe the service will pull a N64 and a new wave will be announced. Speaking of, did the n64 games fall off a cliff?

@Coalescence but metroid prime remaster

@TheDragonDAFan Holy smokes, licensing hell haha. On a real note, I wonder if they’ll do the whole exclusive character thing again. Will Link, Heihachi and Spawn even show up if Namco can’t get the rights?

I used to have a Pokéball 2ds XL. It was gifted to me after a stint in the hospital, bundled with Pokemon Ultra Moon. I already owned a 3ds XL, but I still loved it. I gave it to a parent who’s son was battling cancer at the hospital to pay it forward. After she gave her son the gift, I was later told the response was great. I believe that was the best thing I could do, since I had recently picked up a switch for myself.

@Duffman92 I’ve seen so many other companies rush games out the door for the holiday season or the deadline. Sonic 2006. Crash Twinsanity. Cyberpunk 2077. Even Pokémon games get rushed cause they are such a big franchise and then games like Scarlet and Violet happen. Not totally unplayable, but very lacking in what it was supposed to be. Nintendo is pretty consistent in that regard. They like to take their sweet time more often than not, hence why the “new Mario” and Tears Of The Kingdom are taking so long. People will combat this by saying ‘But my dear friend with the screaming Dr Cortex pfp, the Mario sports games suck and they are rushed! Nintendo should finish their games!!!!!!’ Well, im not sure if they were super rushed if not (Get it? Ha!) They all had definitive release dates and weren’t shoved out for the holidays. They are indeed lacking in the character and game mode departments sure, but that don’t mean they are buggy, glitch filled and downright unplayable. That’s the difference between rushed and lacking in content. They were intended to be that way, with dlc to support the games overtime. Reinvest interest, which is common in modern gaming. They function more like arcade games where you easily pick up and play without a giant roster to slow you down. Those games are still fun.

So I agree with this sentiment. The games aren’t rushed. They have their time put in and a lot of those games are high quality and fun to play.

I will give away a house if Minecraft, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and GTA V together leave the charts. It ain’t happening

Comments are on fire here!

I don’t actually know if I will get this game or not. This day and age, I am a sale hunter, and so is everyone around me. It’s to the point where when I realized Metroid Prime was a mere 50 dollars Canadian, my own father said he would outright buy it for us cause of how cheap it was!

So I get the pricing thing. Not a huge fan. But I think that if a game is so unbelievably high quality, massive, and is one of the best games of all time, then it’s earned it’s price point. I have faith in Doug that he is correct with this game being huge. The first one was already giant. I don’t care if they ‘reuse assets’. This isn’t Garry’s Mod dammit. Those reused assets are gorgeous. And this game will push the switch to its limit, to make a masterpiece.

That said, if you don’t want, don’t buy. Simple. I said that in another comment section and I got treated like I just stabbed someone with a ‘knife’ they called it. But it’s pretty simple stuff here. Not everyone has to like the 70 dollar switch game.

This game trials are kinda hilarious. Uno, Two Rabbids trials and this. The only one I really played was the Tennis Aces one. That was decent.

What are all these companies thinking? Do they not know that the market crashed just last year or something? Someone tell both GF and Square Enix please

I don’t have the time nor patience to do something like this. I’ll go insane. Congrats to this fellow though.

Edit: watching that video made my brain hurt a ton.

Are those...books? Fascinating. I heard that before games, people used to 'read' these things? How odd.

Jokes aside...yeah. Dunno why there aren't more gaming books.

I do wonder if the Apple Arcade version comes to switch. I have owned a 3DS for a long time yet I never got pocket jockey, despite every sign pointing to “please get this game and stop thinking about purchasing Miitopia for full price you moron”

Japan easily. More accurately shows just what game you are getting yourself into.
