Would be near or at the top for 3DS games in my opinion. The control scheme almost immediately clicked for me and was incredibly precise. The game feels so "big" for a 3DS title, too. It was/is truly impressive. I want so badly a sequel but would gladly settle for a Switch remake/remaster.
I get that people really wanted them, but for me personally I don't really play enough games at the same time to really warrant that level of organization. Like, my library is pretty large after all these years, but I don't feel a burning desire to have to sort it all if I'm not even really looking at it or navigating it.
That said, I can see an option to make the home menu default to the group page being nice.
I tried the lite version for ten minutes and that was enough for me. Saved me some money. Still a shame given that I'm always up for a good kart racer than isn't Mario Kart. This just ain't it.
I tried the lite version and I don't think I've ever gone from excited about a new kart racer to absolutely zero interest so fast. The overwhelming amount of BS that pops up at you on the main menu (currency, events, whatever else) was almost as bad as the music that was playing and the pointless and poorly designed tutorial was really something. Thanks for saving me some money, I guess.
Looks about the same as the Final Fantasy remasters. So yeah. The framerate in the trailer is perhaps the most questionable part, though. It's been way too long since I've played it (and even then it was only briefly) so I can't tell how it compares, though.
Either way. I'm excited to get to give it a proper go, finally. After all these years.
Star Fox 64 may well be my fav N64 game and is absolutely in my top 10 all time for me. It's just so endlessly replayable. I've so many memories of it during the summer it released. Trying to get every medal, see every route and all the other details you could miss made it super addicting.
All these years later on Switch Online I'm doing it again, and it still RULES. I'm not quite as good as I was, but I'm getting there.
Excitebots (because the world needs more racing games with tambourine powerups), The Last Story (because I never finished it) and Sin and Punishment 2 (because it is amazing).
Hmm. I snagged one from the second batch just because I couldn't help myself. Have yet to pay for the expansion, and I'm not sure if I will, for the time being.
I really enjoyed it at the time and liked how different it felt. I always took it as just another take on the character and so never felt any of the "NOT MY SAMUS/METROID" stuff.
That said, I haven't played it or really thought too much about it since that time and certainly don't recall a lot of the details so I wouldn't bother arguing with someone who hates it.
It's higher than I expected, but isn't a deal breaker. The real key to keeping it worth it will be if they actually add more "hard to get" games with any frequency. Like licensed stuff, etc.
I've spent 95% of my docked time on the Switch with joy cons. I thought I'd miss the D-pad but it turns out I kind of just don't. I think the short stick makes them feel fine with 2D games. I beat cuphead no problem, despite my friend thinking I was a madman.
I don't know. It is my preferred way to play. I just love the split control design and wish there were more options for the other consoles. Though I would agree they aren't perfect.
Good! it's a small, silly thing, sure, but I've had cables in the past that were waaaay too stiff and chunky feeling. I think the one with the Switch is fine, but softer is always better.
It is a simple thing, but I always really enjoy when there's some art on the inside of the case. I know most (all?) first party games do it, but some others do too. This looks slick.
Despite its age, I truly believe Mario Kart 8 is still one of the best looking. There's just something about it and the mix of 60fps that makes it quite stunning.
I fell off the first and I'm not entirely sure why. I was rather enjoying it. I think it just got lost in the shuffle. This news and a certain other game have made me want to jump back in/start it over again.
It looks "nice" because it's new, but also just feels like too much going on for my taste. The current UI may be boring or whatever, but it's fast and works and I'm completely okay with it.
I hope at some point we get the online tournament mode stuff that was in the 3DS version added. It was wonderfully implemented and fun to play with friends/communities. Sad it isn't (from what I've read) in this one.

It's quirky and irreverent because lol cats.

Re: Poll: Triangle Strategy Is Out Today On Nintendo Switch, Will You Be Getting It?

Re: YouTube Confirms Copyright Claims On GilvaSunner's Channel Were From Nintendo
Imagine if Nintendo just got with it and made all their soundtracks widely available? that would be some weird, wild stuff.

Re: Cruis'n Blast Gets A Permanent Price Cut On The Switch eShop, Now Only $19.99
Absolutely go and buy it if you have even a remote interest in arcade racers. It's so fun and dumb in the best way.
Re: Shovel Knight Dev Reveals 'Mina The Follower', A Top-Down Adventure With Zelda And Castlevania Vibes
Looks (and sounds) fantastic. Glad they are doing an all new thing.
I'm not sure I feel the need to back it on kickstarter, but I'll play it when it comes out.
Re: Video: Here's A Look At Chocobo GP's Racers
I'm getting more excited for it. Is it digital only?

Perhaps I'll just listen to the soundtrack instead.
Re: Nintendo's Switch OLED Dock Can Now Be Purchased Separately
that price WITH a power adapter and cable....and then maybe. I kind of want a dock for a different room, but yeeesh. Not that much.
Re: Paradise Lost Is A Post-Apocalyptic Walking Simulator Shuffling Onto Switch This Week
innnnnteresting. I love alternative history stuff and walking sims so this is right up my alley.
Re: Feature: 14 Wii Games That Deserve Switch Ports
Excitebots (because the world needs more racing games with tambourine powerups), The Last Story (because I never finished it) and Sin and Punishment 2 (because it is amazing).
Re: That Large Combat Text Box In Star Wars: KOTOR On Switch Is "Intended"
I've not played the game (ever) but that does look larger than it needs to be. Just the text itself would be fine, I'd think.
Re: Nintendo Adds N64 Controller Support To 3D All-Stars Version Of Super Mario 64
Seems as good a reason to open my controller than any! yay!
Re: Nintendo To Restock Switch Online N64 Controllers In 2022 (North America)

Re: Random: Forget Dread, It's All About Metroid: Other M On Twitter Right Now
I really enjoyed it at the time and liked how different it felt. I always took it as just another take on the character and so never felt any of the "NOT MY SAMUS/METROID" stuff.
That said, I haven't played it or really thought too much about it since that time and certainly don't recall a lot of the details so I wouldn't bother arguing with someone who hates it.

He needs to be angrier, as per Kirby tradition.
Re: Random: Did You Know The Switch OLED Model Includes A "Softer" HDMI Cable?
Good! it's a small, silly thing, sure, but I've had cables in the past that were waaaay too stiff and chunky feeling. I think the one with the Switch is fine, but softer is always better.
Re: Another OLED Unboxing Has Surfaced - And This One's From Nintendo
A far cry from Iwata's fantastic Wii U unboxing, but I'll take it.
Re: Here's A "First Look" Inside Metroid Dread's Nintendo Switch Game Case

Re: Daemon X Machina Is Probably Getting A Sequel, But It's Going To "Take Time"

Re: Poll: Cruis'n Blast Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
My Amazon copy is taking the long route, but yeah. Absolutely in.
