I don't know the price for the Ultimate edition, but the fact that it comes with Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated and Cosmic Shake + DLC is crazy. Might pick it up, this looks good and I've been meaning to try Rehydrated for a while now. Cosmic shake is there too.
Edit: It's $90. I will, in fact, not be picking that up. Might still snag the base game if it's on sale at some point, but not a day one by any means.
Hey @JimNorman, just letting you know, in the Leaf Cup, Dry Bones Burnout is listed as Cry Bones Burnout, and in the Heart Rally, it's listed as Dry Bone Burnout. Why do you hate that one course?
Portal Companion Collection. Played through both games normally, now replaying both of them with developer commentary on. I hadn't ever played either until now
My first few Switch Games were physical. Then I put 150 hours into Mario Maker 2 and my cartridge stopped working. I've been full digital ever since, with the only exception being Splatoon 3 because the box art goes SO hard
@Anti-Matter It's not going to be full-on EA-style microtransactions, like "Buy more lives for $2.99!!!" It's going to be DLC. Major or Minor, Nintendo doesnt do Microtransactions (on consoles.)
No. I think Sora was the perfect ending, but hey, I'd take 6 more. I'd like 1. The protagonist from Astral Chain 2. Shantae 3. Rayman 4. Dante (Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry) 5. Possibly another Kingdom Hearts Character? Riku and Roxas come to mind. Idk im a fanboy for KH 6. Waluigi. It'd be the perfect ending. Also, replace Min Min with literally anyone else she sucks as a character and wasted a spot on the roster lol
Sega: Look! It's a new 2D Sonic game that actually looks really promising! I hope it sells well! Nintendo: Look! It's a new 2D Mario Game that looks a lot different from previous ones! It's going to sell well! **releases the same week**
@Anti-Matter what I get it, your main priority is "Third Party Kids Games" and, to each their own, no judgement here, but... THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST JRPGs OF ALL TIME PLAY IT
But seriously, this is a joke. Play what you wanna play! But might I reccomend "What the Golf?"
@Anti-Matter Not really, but I get where you're coming from! There's a character customization system, so prepare to see some goofy lookin' pikmin people online
@Anti-Matter You said that you weren't really a fan of the Lives and Timer? First of all, Game-Overs are nothing. You lose you checkpoint at the worst. Secondly, watch the trailer for Mario Wonder again. Look at the top right-no timer! It looks like the only timers are for the Wonder Flower.
Kaizo Mario Maker 2. Been getting back into it, and it's actually a lot of fun! School ends for me on Wednesday, so i'll probably be playing more after that but idk
I stopped playing Violet months ago. Was going to hop in on Wednesday and import my 'mon from Sword but welp guess not I'm going to go play kaizo SMM2 now
@rushiosan They said that "We hope to continue this partnership in the future." Plus, Nintendo and Universal are tight, with the theme park land and all. Also, I'm pretty sure Switch Stop said this, but I think Captain Toad should be shorts before the movies, like what Disney does with theirs
I don't like it, but i completely understand why they're doing it. If they're going to make it a live service game, then yeah, they shouldn't give out hard copies. They should make sure you have wifi in the first place before you play an online game lol
@Anti-Matter Modding isn't a sin in itself. Yes, you can turn a kids game into a rated M game. But you can also make completely new games and give people new experiences. As long as you're not charging insane amounts of money for the files, modding is less of an insult towards the creator and more of a statement of how much you enjoy what they put out. Modding takes time.
@Anti-Matter Modding is just taking the game in a way that you want. It's not disrespecting the creator, it's taking their work and making it a bit better to suit your tastes.
Having a couple friends over tonight for some Smash Ultimate, 3D World, and Mario Kart. Maybe some Dr. Mario if we're feeling like actually using our brains
@Kisame83 Honestly, I don't even see the need for critics anymore. Before the advent of the internet, sure. But now, when audience scores are so readily accessible? Nah. Let's put some people out of a job.
I played Tricolor ONCE and went straight back to pro. I don't see why they have to have one map for all of tricolor. Rotations would be fine. But instead, we got MakoMart for the Tricolor stage. Mincemeat was for once one of the best stages in a mode.
2017 was the best year, objectively, but 2022 brought Splatoon 3, as well as Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Xenoblade 3, so that takes the cake for me. 2020 gets serious props for ACNH, Pikmin 3, and Kingdom Hearts: Melody of memory, so that's a close second imo
Whoa, that was fast. I feel like it just started 343 days ago...
OH WAIT, IT DID
But seriously, they were just like "Yeah, we're telling you we're ending support about 3 weeks before they do it". Wow. That was fast lol
My top three have to be Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Xenoblade 3, and Pokemon Violet. If you count DLC, the Booster Course pass and MHR Sunbreak definitely are up there too.
I just started a second playthrough of Paper Mario: The Origami King, so I'll mostly be playing that, with some Mario Kart 8 and Smash Ultimate sprinkled in as well.

Re: Talking Point: Would A Third Wave Of Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Have Been Too Much?
No. I think Sora was the perfect ending, but hey, I'd take 6 more. I'd like
1. The protagonist from Astral Chain
2. Shantae
3. Rayman
4. Dante (Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry)
5. Possibly another Kingdom Hearts Character? Riku and Roxas come to mind. Idk im a fanboy for KH
