I'm interested in the game, but I have doubts about how good it will be in multiplayer. I've tried Sonic 2 and Sonic Mania in co-op, and it's a constant struggle for Tails to keep up with Sonic well enough to stay on screen. I can't imagine having four players at once will make things any better, unless they add splitscreen multiplayer.
It"s pretty cool that these games are getting a physical release in this age. I loved the Putt-Putt games as a kid.
Unfortunately, the Switch version of Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo has a bug where the cursor doesn't change when it's over something interactive, making it hard to tell what things you can click on. I emailed the developer and receieved a reply acknowledging the issue, but it was never patched.
I have this game and Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series on my wishlist. I plan to buy both when they go on sale, since Bandai Namco games usually get pretty good discounts eventually.
"While all seven other returning tracks have already been added to the mobile game Mario Kart Tour, Sky-High Sundae is debuting in Deluxe before making its way to your phones."
Actually, GBA Snow Land is also making its debut in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
@steizgr8 I'm also hoping for more news on Sunbreak. Although Capcom said they would reveal more information in the spring, maybe just a small teaser tomorrow is still possible.
I already have all the spirits and DLC. The only thing I don't have is that one Kingdom Hearts song that requires save data for Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory. I hope they eventually make that song available for everyone.
This is the best collaboration yet! I love that we can get layered armor for the Hunter, Palico, and Palamute instead of just one of them like in the other collabs.
I hope we'll get even more fun collabs like this in Sunbreak.
@Matl Why did you have to do World of Light three times? I also have one of every spirit at max level, but I only had to do two full runs to get them all, unless I missed something.
@mikegamer Same here. I compared some of these screenshots to footage of the games on the Wii U Virtual Console, and the Switch Online versions look significantly better.
I welcome all these collaborations, event quests, and even paid DLC. Still, it would be nice if we had something more to hold us over until the G-rank expansion.
@mattesdude They might be referring to the paid Sonic DLC from the Marketplace, which is definitely a bad experience on Switch.
On the other hand, this Sonic event on The Hive seems to run pretty well on Switch. I actually play on The Hive almost daily, and they seem to have the server optimized for Switch better than any of the other featured servers.
I was having a great time with this event earlier today. It's a lot more enjoyable than the other Sonic DLC that was being sold on the Marketplace, and it's completely free. The Hive has done an amazing job with this collaboration!
I'm more excited for this update than I was for the Nether update. I'm glad that this update is focused on the Overworld, and I'm really looking forward to Part 2 to see the whole update come together.
I'm currently waiting for my physical copy to arrive. I haven't played any of the Overcooked games before, and this version seems like the best way to play them. Hopefully I enjoy my experience with the game, as it seems like there's enough content in this collection to keep me entertained for a long time.
This is by far my most anticipated game of the year. It's great to have a game from a major third-party publisher being made specifically for the Switch hardware. It looks so good for a Switch game!
I've already pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition and the new Pro Controller. March 26 can't get here soon enough!
I liked using the Wirebug a lot in the demo, and it didn't take me too long to get used to it either.
My favorite way to use the Wirebug was to launch it upwards, then press A and quickly dodge forward to keep my momentum, then launch it upwards again to repeat the process. It feels remarkably similar to Spider-man's web-swinging!
I don't play this game a ton, but I'm always happy to hop back in to check out the latest DLC. I love the Minecraft aesthetic, and the gameplay is simple but satisfying.
I was originally planning to main the Long Sword, but I heard that it can be hard to avoid tripping your teammates in multiplayer, so I went for my second choice, the Lance.
Seeing how popular the Long Sword was in the demo makes me glad I went with the Lance. I like the idea of using a less popular weapon that I enjoy rather than using the same weapon as so many other players. I might still use the Long Sword a bit in single player, though.
I'm planning to download Wingspan and at least a couple of the BIT.TRIP games.
Wingspan looks really lovely. I've had my eye on it since it was first announced for Switch. I even looked up how to play the board game so I know the rules before I play.
I've never played any of the BIT.TRIP games before, so I'm planning to start with BIT.TRIP BEAT and BIT.TRIP RUNNER. I chose BEAT because it's the first in the series, and RUNNER because it looks the most interesting to me.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Has Been Updated To Version 2.4.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
"Lowered the appearance rate of Mirror and 200cc races in Worldwide and Regional settings."
Yes! I always find it annoying whenever a Mirror or 200cc race appears. I would prefer if those modes were kept separate from 150cc races online.

Okay, very funny. Now can we please get an ARMS sequel?
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak's Final Digital Event Broadcasts Next Week
I was wondering if they would even have a digital event, considering this is just a "bonus update" with one new monster.
I look forward to seeing this final event for Sunbreak, especially the developer interviews.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Harvest Moon / Story Of Seasons Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking

Re: Random: Rejoice! Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Coconut Mall Has Been 'Fixed'
I'm very happy that Nintendo went back and fixed this! Does this change affect previously recorded Time Trials, though?

Re: Monster Hunter Rise x Sonic Collab Gets Release Date And Awesome Trailer

On a somewhat related note, Stardew Valley version 1.5 is now available on PC. It will release on consoles in early 2021.
