Time to preload, baby!

Well they did ensure to provide enough stock to satisfy that demand. The hardcore early adopter nerds come out in full force at launch, so who knows if they're inflating the number.

Man a lot of you guys draw the line at 30fps, huh? My eyes suck so higher frames don't really mean anything to me. The QoL fixes seem to target what irked me about the original so I will likely be getting this later during a lull in releases. All hands on deck for Pokémon Legends until then!

Dude just do it on the downlow and don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Preferably with older software. Bro brought it on himself.

Yeah I got them both digitally. I have 3D All-Stars as well, and I still got Galaxy 1 again. Whatever, I have nothing else to spend my money on 🤑

Makes sense. Disc games on other platforms are effectively game keys in practice because they need to be installed on the console's internal storage anyway.

I didn't like Kiwami, you can't freely explore without endless random encounters grinding everything to a halt. So I got bored and moved on 🤷‍♂️

Man I dunno. Bananza already has terrifying implications for Mario's world. It's all bananas all the way down. Mushroom World? More like Banana World!

Oh absolutely. I'll order the damn headset and everything.

Blue fire shinies are always the best!

Did this game not get a remake on the 3DS already?

I was so excited for these games that I imported White from Japan because I didn't want to wait. They were such a breath of fresh air. I'm a creature of habit and when given the opportunity, I will always opt for old favourites instead of trying out new monsters. Couldn't do that here, and it was so much fun experimenting and finding new favourites. The story was great, the music was great, it was all so great.

It's whatever. I jumped the gun on it, I'll admit. I completed the base game 100% and immediately hit the download button without fully taking in the info drops, just because I was itching to have a reason to go back in. But... Yeah the roguelike thing is not my jam at all. DK Island is fun to run around in but it's the only part of the DLC I enjoyed, and it's tiny.

@KoopaTheGamer this is true. The Donkey Kong Country games each have like three or four different carts out there with different revisions. Speedruns are categorized by version because glitches found in the earlier versions are fixed in later productions.

Nice. I've beaten the game twice before on other platforms and I'm pumped to play it again portably, and I will totally abuse these boost features to just chill and coast to enjoy the story once again.

Yeah I'll get Mario Galaxy 2. I have 3D All-Stars already so I don't need the dual pack. Honestly they should have just done a reissue and update with 2 included but whatever, I'll pay the damn whatever it is in CAD

Went ahead and did a quick run of the GBA version after reading this 🤣

I give a 7. A whole lot of nothing but Virtual Boy and Fire Emblem saved it from being a total snorefest

This is hilarious and also I'm preordering the full one next pay

Kinda lame tbh. I guess I'll get Mario Galaxy 2 but that's about it.

I've been over Three Houses for a while but hey, it's a new Fire Emblem. I'll play it and probably become obsessed anyway lol

Whatever, I'll pay the damn price for Galaxy 2. I don't care anymore

Nice! I had it on rotation but I switched over to solely Kirby. Looks great

Oh great, now the player is gonna be wary of all benches moving forward

I gotta say, I love the marketing for this game. They're really going all in and aren't afraid of being weird and silly. My friend Malamar was just hilarious

I want a new Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing, but I'm tempering my expectations and assuming there will be no mention of those. Maybe we'll get a release date for Path of Radiance on NSO and perhaps even an announcement for the first Animal Crossing coming to GC NSO? For Mario, I'm not expecting anything huge as the Odyssey team just released Donkey Kong but I'd be happy to see a Super Mario Bros. 40 and a mouse update for Mario Maker 2. Dare I wish for a Mario Maker 3? No, lest my hopes be crushingly dashed.

Haha Nintendo Today beat you to it! Which I suppose is natural. I mean, it needs to be announced officially for you guys to then share it. Also! The local time addition is a nice touch. I will be working, however, so I'll just peek at my phone for Twitter notifications every now and then.

I understand that the difficulty is part of the game's identity and anything not on par with the original would be an insult to the fans. However, lower difficulty and accessibility options are never a bad thing. That way, even more people can play your game and if they really like it, they can crank up the difficulty in a subsequent playthrough. I must stress that I've never played Hollow Knight and have no intention of picking this up, but nonetheless I firmly stand by my remarks. It's like people getting mad over casual mode in Fire Emblem. Don't like it? Guess what, classic is right there.

The dude broke the law, was caught, and is being punished for doing so. Simple as that. The whole irreparable harm deal is a bit of a hyperbole, though. It's not like the people pirating the games were gonna buy them otherwise. So I highly doubt it ate into their bottom line very much.

I primarily play Nintendo exclusives so I haven't been drowning in games, but I've consistently had something to play since launch. Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, and Bravely Default have kept me busy. Finished the Kirby DLC over a weekend. Pokémon Violet with its lovely update filling in the gaps. I'm having a good time so far.

Is there an easy mode? I might be inclined to buy it if there's an easy mode.

Nice hopefully we'll see DK64 by February

Despite my initial excitement, I fell off the original game pretty quickly. The controls didn't jive with me and I had a real hard time navigating the levels. I figured that maybe I just couldn't deal with open world platformers like Banjo anymore, but like, Mario Odyssey and DK Bananza are masterclass in 3D platformers. The additions seem to address my original frustrations and with the 30% discount, I'm tempted to give 'er another go

Absolutely not. I've read that it's a rather difficult game and man, the days of hard games are long behind me. Easy mode, boost on, I wanna just coast and zone out these days.

Makes sense. They don't technically own Kirby outright, do they?

But how does that compare to fan perception of other platforms? Maybe they're the least egregious of the options.

@kmtrain83 Didn't they release Super Mario Maker 1 on September 11th? The game where you build and potentially demolish levels?

Lol I swapped out immediately and never looked back

Haven't played this one due to the PS3 exclusivity so I'll definitely be getting it. Bit of a bummer there isn't a Switch 2 version, though.

@ImpromptuR yeah the lack of metric irks me, too. I'm getting real tired of seeing miles and Fahrenheit measurements in the dex, they mean nothing to me.

Some people are voting 1? Really? It's as awful as Superman 64, Desert Bus, and Big Rigs. I think these people are conflating 'physically unplayable' with 'this isn't what I wanted Nintendo to release.'

45 minutes?? Dude that's as long as a full June direct. Like I'm looking forward to the game, but it's Kirby. And a sequel to Air Ride. Will there really be that much to talk about?

I feel like the odd man out for being very excited for this. Arceus was an incredible experience and this seems to knock it up another notch. I happen to think it looks great, too. Would be really cool of them to release a demo like they used to in the 3DS days. This is definitely my most anticipated game of the year!

I have not so a Switch release of this would be most welcome

A multiplayer, team-based sports game? Absolutely not.

Dude just eat the food

Wake me up when BMX XXX 2 comes out 😴

Maybe it's a case of, "if you want to hear the music, buy the game!" They're recent enough that they're still in the prime sales period. Could also be about avoiding spoilers. Nintendo also seems to prioritize controlling players' experiences with their products so maybe they want people to experience the music first in context. I dunno, could be any number of different things. I use the app daily whenever I'm out of the house, so I'd appreciate more songs to add to my playlists, but I'm not super broken up over it or anything.

I dunno, haven't turned the Switch on yet. I 100% completed Donkey Kong last week and am just waiting for the Kirby DLC at the end of the month. The backlog is immense but I don't feel like playing any of it lol

I work in childcare and often wear my Nintendo shirts to work. The kids love 'em, they all know Mario and Pikachu. My Animal Crossing shirt has become a favourite because of all the cute characters. I have coworkers with young children, too, so I'll sending them links to these products lol
