Seems a good deal to me.

Almost all games are going to be transferred to the new system, there's no Virtual Console titles on there, I don't see why you wouldn't do this.

Not providing upgrades with NSO across the board feels a little messy.

It'd be a lot clearer if they called one upgrades and the other dlc.

No income tax, no VAT...

Wish they'd bring back Mario Bros. 35.

Or a Mario Bros. 3 version would be great.

From what I can tell from my preorder email,
such invitations were based on the amount of gaming purchases/activity,
which I think commendable from Nintendo.
Not a perfect solution, but it's something.

For the longest time they didn't even have the GameCube controller properly usable for Mario Sunshine for crying out loud.

@Bigmanfan

Does Dolphin enhance games,
or from what you've seen so far has Nintendo not emulated GameCube games well enough to replicate the originals?

Crazy Taxi
and Skies of Arcadia.

@Potimarron

I don't think an edict on emotions went out,
feel however you want.

I love this game.
I enjoyed 3 and 4 (did not like 2),
but this is the one I go back to again and again.

He looks like he wants to deduct 50 points from Gryffindor.

Oh no,
now they'll be overpriced tat...

Absolutely.

Fall damage adds nothing to a game to me,
it mostly seems to me a peculiar attempt to add 'realism' to games that otherwise pay no heed to it.
In most games it is not difficult to avoid the damage; it's just tedious.

Same with not being able to breathe underwater.

@cvrator
Yeah. Great game, but you basically had to agree with your friend not to do the ring outs.

Link's throw was broken.
You could immediately throw someone out of the ring almost every time.

Go home Nintendo,
you're drunk.

@Ulysses

I could get the Mario Kart bundle with that.

@RogerFederer

I didn't realise you had enough time away from tennis to play Nintendo.

@countzero

I mean, the DS is one of the best selling consoles ever, yet they still priced the 3DS too high.

@DemonKow

Well that's the biggest problem with the game,
I had been previously led to believe that they were called Moo Moos.

@Rykdrew

I think they said old stages would be 'reimagined', but that's a good point, that amount is quite tawdry.

24 racers on a track...
For me less is more.

Open world games can be great, I really don't think Mario Kart needed it.

I feel with a lot of franchises that Nintendo are, excuse the pun, running out of road.

As for price, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is a lot cheaper; is Sega that much richer than Nintendo?
Presumably it's about Nintendo feeling they can get away with asking for $80 a game.
And maybe they're right, but the backlash to the price and the lukewarm reception to this direct suggest that may not be the case.

"But Nintendo have always been greedy, they've done research and this must be the right price!"
Like how they had to drop the 3DS price?
Like how they had to be persuaded to include Wii Sports with the console that became a runaway success?

Yes, Nintendo has always been about maximising profits like most companies, but let's not pretend that they always get that equation right.

I'm old,
that is new,
and I'm scared.

@Willo567

Well, a couple of my students in Japan.

Also heard from this guy:
https://youtu.be/3YsUfFInnf4?t=290

I clicked on the image that warned of spoilers and now the game has been spoiled for me.

Who do I direct complaints to?

@Willo567

I heard the opposite,
that some Japanese people are daunted by cost, despite the lower price of the console in Japan.

Looks a bit too Nuts and Bolts to me.

@Keman
You vomited on your computer?

Elephant Mario is the stuff of Christmas nightmares.

@Elitepatriot

I think they could do with having a couple of games for Christmas confirmed already,
but I think with Mario Kart he console is going to to do as well as it can do at launch.

So somewhat similar to N64 and Wii U price.
Yikes.

What is the point of going half physical and half download?

Just seems to me the worst of both worlds.

It's a bad look from Nintendo.

@GoldenSunRM

I began to lose enthusiasm for the game after that, felt like they jumped the shark, or perhaps jumped the Sidon.

Really enjoyed Calamity, but by the end I felt they were scraping the bottom of the barrel and was already left cold by the prospect of DLC,
this game holds even less interest for me.

Add that Kingdom essentially repeats Wild's storyline with different mcguffins (to the point where it's surreal that residents don't talk about the previous game's events) and this version of Hyrule is getting really tired.

@GoldenSunRM

The time travel didn't make the story invalid,
just made it a bit naff.

GameCube easily:

Crazy Taxi
Luigi's Mansion
Rogue Squadron II
Wave Race Blue Storm
Super Monkey Ball

@betterman

"biased" is not a synonym for incorrect.

Massive sell off of US Treasury bonds has forced a U-turn on tariffs for most countries.

And now the US have caved in over electronics from China.

Got an invite but don't intend to use it.

I think it's a cute idea you don't realise you want until you try it.

I'm pretty encouraged by this.
I have no intention of getting a Switch 2,
but hope more games come to Switch.

@electrolite77

Some things they seem to regret making and release quietly.

This is just getting weird Nintendo.

Hmm, I never really thought about this game's soundtrack much, just enjoyed it while playing the game.
