I like to imagine Nintendo is holding out on releasing the first game until the new console releases. Because of its structure Nintendo was able to make it an absolute showcase of the GameCube hardware early on and I could see them wanting to do the same for the next console. Or they are just weird and want to sell the remaining 3ds copies š
@Kiwi_Unlimited xenomorph, predator, terminator, robo cop, and carnage been in the game for a few years now. The shop looks like it tries to grab older players from what I see.
@Teksetter I went ahead and did the same thing. Went with the deluxe edition just because these games and the NWC are very nostalgic to me. I still have fun playing most of these games on the app and my NES mini. I was younger when the classics rereleased on GBA and I loved them.
I would have liked an OG NWC mode or just a NWC tournament for new switch games but this is still nice. Iām just glad itās being acknowledged by Nintendo š„³
@johnedwin I mentioned that they would have momentum going in 2025 if they had a decent lineup of games announced this year. Though the numbers are down, that doesnāt mean the steam ran out. Naturally sales decline year after year. But they are still pulling in decent numbers in its seventh year. Though they arenāt selling better than ever, they just still have a market for this product at the moment.
Switch sales are still going strong and with a lower price point, I canāt see a major gaming company pumping the brakes on that unless the new console will be a possible switch upgrade. So many kids are constantly approaching gaming age and the current switch has been a great way for them to start gaming in a safe environment. I canāt see us current switch owners keeping this momentum going for Nintendo the past few years. That being said, a 2025 release just makes sense. Besides weāre only a direct away from several games possibly releasing this year on switch that would keep momentum going thru 2025. It wouldnāt hurt them to release this year, but I can see the conservative approach in the current gaming industry.
@the_beaver I finally bought the all in one package when it was on sale and my only regret is that I waited this long to play it. I was 10 I believe when it released and only had a GameCube at the time, so it got skipped. It really is a magical experience and is definitely in my top games list. Donald and Goofy are a trip š I heard from my buddy that 3 is a little much but 2 builds off the first one well so Iām excited to start that one. Iām also about to start my first playthrough of final fantasy 7 too. Too many great games I need to play!
@FishyS I recall a lot of ālook at what someone made in animal crossingā articles a few years back but it was definitely spread out over a course of a few months. Then again this game is apparently breaking records elsewhere too š
And just like anything popular in gaming nowadays, Iām sure it wonāt be nearly as popular in a few months. But who knows š¤·āāļø
Elden Ring is a good example for me of a highly anticipated/acclaimed game that is now barely mentioned beyond its dlc.
Couldnāt get into this one like I did with Drum ānā fun. Even though itās the same concept with different songs. I gave the pass a shot but I still prefer the previous version. Good example of quality over quantity.
I enjoy the mode. Itās been fun exploring with my friends and sharing keys to see what they all did to the world since I been off. Two friends are declaring āwarā on each others villages and mine is settled between theirs so thatāll be interesting š Hate it if you want. Love it if you want. Happy gaming!
@Teksetter Precisely the point Robin. As long as the Joker isnāt up to his usual antics, we should expect good ports that will bring justice to Gotham. Though, it wouldnāt hurt to check the Bat computer to get more clues on how well they may runā¦quickly Robinā¦to the Batcave!
@Teksetter If it involves the Bat, Iāll be thereš
I agree. Iām glad we have the first one on the cart at least. Gotta love those scarecrow sections!
As soon as I open up the shop is when it starts š Iāll have to turn my phone wifi off and resist checking the site all day until I watch it at home. I will fall out of my seat if they finally give us windwaker/twilight princess hd.
@MarioBrickLayer ocarina of time is such an epic adventure. One of my all time favorites. Go out there and save hyrule! Iām sure youāll enjoy it š
@Lizuka I played both n64/nso and the 3ds and though I played it on the original hardware more, the 3ds version has a slight edge. Like you stated, they fixed those boots which helped game flow and the 3d is implemented well. Iād just like a bigger screen. A little hand holding with hints but Iāll be the first to admit I read a walk through for the water temple back then š Again something the 3ds version fixed.
