oh well ... this bundle would be waaaay better if it was with Mario Party Superstars instead of Super Mario Party

Don´t get me wrong, SMP is fun, but Superstars is a lot better

oh yeah ...
Disney is looking for more franchises to destroy, now on videogames ...

What a nice surprise! Windjammers 2 is a game that I still play frequently with family and friends locally

Oh ... A Simpsons Beat´em up, on the same style of the 90´s arcade game by Konami ... would be awesome. That was the best Simpsons game ever made

I would love if they release Soul Hackers : Intruder ... that game never left Japan is cannot be played by any means since it was made for pre-smartphone era devices ..

This is an excellent choice. Excitebike 64 is really a cool game. I have many memories of multiplayer sessions with family and friends with this one

I really miss Nintendo radical sports games. Wave Race, 1080 and ExciteBike were so much fun.

To me, a similiar situation was with an old arcade game called Sea Fighter Poseidon from Taito
I used to play it when I was something like 8 years old in an small arcade near home. It was about a diver who had to rescue hostages trapped in cages underwater while fighting other hostile divers. I was too young and never memorize its name. Me and my friends used to call it just "Mergulhador" (Diver)
At the time, it was a trend to call games for a "nickname" since we didn´t understand English. Some curious names we adopt were:
"Jogo do Cemitério " (Cemetery Game) for Ghouls´n´Goblins
" Columbia " (after the Columbia spaceship) for Xevious
" Come-Come" (Eat-Eat) for Pac Man
"Tarzan" for Jungle King
"Motinho (Small Motorbike) for Traverse USA/Zippy Race

Pokken should be included again in Pokemon World Championships ....

Such a fun, entertaining and well-made game. I personally didn´t have any issues with the controls, but I do understand the insatisfaction of some players.
At least in my city, Kid Icarus was one of the most played games during fan meetings and videogame events in the golden area of streetpass.
Another unique aspect of this game that is often forgotten was its huge collection of cards. Every game came bundled with 06 cards and we could only get more by taking part in Nintendo events and competitions. Their function in the game was very simple, but getting new cards felt like a treasure hunt, given the scarcity and difficulty to get them.

Now that it was mentioned ....
It would be wonderful to see a remaster of Hotel Dusk Room 215 and its sequence Last Window: The Secret of Cape West (never released in America) on the Switch
Probably it will never happen since its develper, Cinq, no longer exists ...

Loved the picnic bag, with pockets that fits small bottles. As someone who follow a diet plan and is always carring meals, that would be perfect for me hahahaha.

@Simon97
I wonder ... if audiences are still a bit skeptical about buying SF 6 at launch, considering all the shenanigans Capcom did with SF 5 during its troubled launch and troubled commercial run.

Personally, I am loving it. Really cool SF game. I wouldn´t rank it among my favorites in this franchise, but so far, it seems to offer a good package of content for a fighting-game launch

@ComfyAko
That would be a dream coming true .... but I do believe most people know now that it will never happen. There are a lot of potential legal issues with that game .... This video has some good analysis of all the problems surroding Mother 3:

Please, please .... give us some news on the new Level-5 games and projects !

@fenlix
It really doesn't seem like it. This movie has been in development for quite some time. Anyway, it meets very well its target audiences' expectations. In the end, that's what makes this film a good and successfull production.

@Munchlax
Maybe.

But a good animation movie, as well a good videogame, does not necessarily need a "substance", which is a very subjective matter, depending of what the target audience would consider "substantial" in any given genre or style of the product they are paying for.

The Super Mario Bros Movie does not have the pourpose of bringing a deep, meaningful story. Since its early conception, it is meant to be fun and entertaining, aimed on families with young children and Mario fans , and it fits that pourpose , as well as the expectations of its target audiences, very, very well

It´s amazing to see competitive Splatoon. It makes me a little sad that Nintendo does not push more competitions on this game as they did with Smash Ultimate some time ago.

Since it´s not free-to-play as Fortnite or Valorant, I wouldn´t expect it to be as huge as those shooters but it definetely could have a bigger audience.

Wait ... is that serious ? Fifa on the Switch accounted for about 1/3 of Fifa sales ?
It seems that there´s really some demand for a portable Fifa after all, eh ?

Oh, please, Nintendo ... hell, no !
Bring back Pilotwings instead

Why being "too difficult" is a negative ? I don´t get it.

Puzzle games, at least for my tastes, must be challenging. Otherwise, they may just feel dull or boring.

If the difficulty of a game is the result of bad game design, then it could be a negative. That was a common occurance during the 8-bit and 16-bit era. It´s not the case with this game, thought.

Well deserved.
I understand what some people say about the plot, it feels simplistic compared to other animation movies, but that´s the pourpose of this film: to be something entertaining to watch.
I personally loved it. It was a perfect movie for family fun and great for fans who could find references everywhere.
A lot of love and care about the source material was put in this movie. The voice cast, musicians and effects directors did a great job and The Super Mario Bros Movie really deserves all the success.

Please Panini ... release that in South America too. We had enough of football albums .

So many Valkyria Chronicles comments ...

I´ve never played any of its games, some people told me that it has similar gameplay to Codename:STEAM , which I played (and enjoyed) a lot on the 3DS

After so many recommendations and as a fan of strategy games ... I really must get at least one of them and play right now.

The simple fact that this movie was made by a team who did not bend themselves to the recent ideologic crap that has been plaguing Hollywood and streaming Tv services, and were focused on fan service and simple, fun visual spectacle, makes this flick a great watch.

A local website in my country published a story about Microsoft buying Nintendo.

I used to get lots of Streetpass tags in my city´s subway system when the 3DS was popular

Today, I still get some tags weekly with family members. Counting siblings and nephews/nieces, we have 07 3DSs in our family. So, for us ... it´s not completely dead yet.

This seems interesting. I wonder how it looks on a TV, because taking the first image as reference, it seems a little bit hard to identify all the elements on screen.

I really appreciate these kind of chaotic co-op games. Overcooked, Snipperclips and Moving Out are family favorites here.

@SonOfDracula

Thank you so much. That really helped a lot.

I always had two devices: one for my Brazilian account and other for my Canadian account.
The Brazilian 3DS E-shop had some shortcomings, and the 3DS is region locked, so I needed a second device in order to get certain games or contents.

My first 3DS was a regular, acqua blue one, I switched it for a blue XL, then for a New 3DS, with exchangeble covers. My second 3DS was a blue 2DS, then I switched it for a purple New 2DS XL

I gave the old devices to some family members. Sometimes we still gather to play some good old Mario Kart 7 together.

Hello everyone
I am not much familiar with fighting games technical terms. I´ve searched online about how netcode rollback works but in most websites or videos, articles just say that it "improves gameplay" and don´t explain exactly what it does.
Would someone who has more knowledge of that, please, explain what exactly "netcode rollback" does ? Thanks a lot.

@Kiyata
Oh, not at all. You´re not alone, definetely. Many, many Brazilian SNES fans will be as glad as you with the addition of Side Pocket

Side Pocket ?? Seriously ???

I mean ... for me, as a Brazilian, it´s a huge surprise. That game was very, very popular in my country. On rental stores, it used to have a high demand.

I believe it wasn´t as popular overseas as it was here. Brazilian SNES fans had some peculiar tastes during the late 90´s. Some games that were not big in US/Europe were very, very popular here: Top Gear, Side Pocket, International Superstar Soccer, Goofy Toop etc., specially due to its multiplayer modes

@Allspice
Really ? That´s awesome. Thanks for the info

@HeadPirate
I´m in Brazil, here we have the sense that only media people actually use it.
Engagement is very low, regarding brands, companies or any business that uses it to promote products.
People never share anything from Twitter on other services, we see it only on "old media" (Tv , publications)
I found it weird as old media still try to push Twitter even knowing that it is a failure - at least in Brazil

Neo Cab was a huge surprise to me. Really engaging story with cool, interesting characters. Glad to see it in this list

@Anti-Matter

Oh yeah. Dance Dance Revolution really deserves a spot.
People don´t remember Dance Dance Revolution that much because when it came and became a worldwide trend, we didn´t have Youtube and social media services were still small and not really popular

I remember foundly the years when DDR was huge. I´d even that it was a cultural phenomenon at the time. There were competitions all around the globe and tons and tons of player communities organized in web forums, some were even international. Freestyle videos were shared extensively through videologs and/or by file-sharing websites. Sometimes, physical educators, teachers or even doctors came with research on DDR as a potential activity to exercise and help people lose weight.

In certain countries, like Norway, at some point it was even considered a sport. Championships in Europe and Asia were huge deals.

I myself met and even made some friends with people from all around my country, despite the low availability of DDR (PIU were more popular here due to its lower cost)

Fortunately, there´s still an old Supernova at a shopping mall here in my city where I can play once in a while. The "dance machine" trend has long come, but the impact it had on the game market and the creation of online gaming communities was really huge at the time.

From a historic point-of-view, DDR should be considered a essential game, just like Street Fighter 2, Super Mario Bros, Pac-Man or Tetris

Not related to the issue ... but I am still impressed that people still use Twitter to this day ...
There was a point in time (and that was few years ago) that even the defunct and "obscure" G+ had more active users than Twitter. Personally, I don´t know a single person - friend, colleague, co-worker, relative etc. who still uses it.
... or maybe it is just not popular at all in my country. Probably.

It´s always bad when a developer try to produce lots of different things at once. Please, focus, TT Games! We still love the Lego games. And please, it´s about time for a third Lego City Undercover game !

One of my favorite N64 games
1080 Avalanche is great, so much better in visuals and soundtrack, but I really prefer the tricky and demanding controls of the original. It just feel more "realistic" and challenging as you really need to carefully adjust your landings.
Pulling a 1080 was hard!

The art style and animations look gorgeous and the story seems interesting. Is this some kind of interactive drama, I suppose (something like Neo Cab or Detroid:Become Human) ? I am really interested

New Layton game, Metroid Prime Remastered, new Level 5 games, Pikmin 4
I´m really looking foward to these. Harmony seems very very interesting to me.

Lots of Level 5 games .... I´m really surprised. We haven´t seen many news form Level 5 lately but definetely they have been working a lot

So ... if we sum up the original WiiU release and the revised Deluxe version ... Mario Kart 8 reached 60 million units sold.
That´s really impressive.

@ThisisJosh
We don´t know for sure why it was not redesign and we can´t argue unless we know all the specifications and limitations of the ride´s mechanical engineering, as I stated before . Maybe a redesigned ride just wouldn´t work properly and it would need to be rebuilt from scratch, what is not cheap by any means. Rides are extremely expensive equipments that sometimes take many months to start generating returns to their owners.

Some people with very limited understanding of how rides work, of the engineering required in their design, and the safety limitations they need to operate properly, may see this case as "fatphobia", but considering that rides also have a limitation in the lower end - people too short or too slim can´t ride certain rides - this argument get just pointless

@ThisisJosh
Sometimes, the mechanics and the physic forces of certain rides don´t allow much room for adaptation to larger or even smaller/thinner people. Remember that there´s also limitations to the low end of the spectrum.

Rollercoasters and spinning rides are particulary very, very trick to adjust due to the G-forces applied over the human body. Rides, even small ones, are always designed and engineered considering the amounts of weight, body mass, speed movement, G-forces etc. that allow the ride to work properly without any room of risk.

I know we´re talking about a slow ride here, but there´s a lot more to safety in any ride than just small body adjustments. We need to know how exactly the ride works, the capacity of movement/weight of the track, its relation with the scenic elements, and verify if the ride itself would operate properly if any of its mechanical limitations is surpassed.

Safety measures are commonplace ir amusement parks.

We´re talking about installations that have many mechanical and eletrical elements that can be harmful for guests or even cause deaths, even in slow rides.

Height and/or weight requirements depend of the mechanics and physical forces applied to its movements, some rides just can´t handle very short/tall or very fat/skinny people.

That said, saying that these measures, aimed at the safety of guests, are "fatphobic" or "exclusionary" is just plain stupid.

@Vexx234 Red hair ? That guy is Touma Akagi, the live Tokukatsu (superhero drama) actor. Yeah, he is the coolest. You said well, it's a game that does not take yourself seriously and I think this is what made it interesting to me.

Despite getting very different from what most people imagined at the time ... I really enjoyed Tokyo Mirage Sessions. It is an overall good-crafted and fun game. After reading the comments, I wonder if I am the only one who enjoyed it ...

Let´s just say that I love my amiibo collection. I really want to improve my collection but they are hard to find in my country and somewhat expensive.

I still think that Sparks of Hope suffered from bad timing. Ubisoft should have waited two or three months before releasing it, because that was a packed period in the market for the Switch with many, many good games coming too close one to another
