When will people stop judging games by the graphics and looks of it? Graphics are pointless without good gameplay, implementation, mechanics and simple fun factor. This game brings back a lot of memories from the 90s. I will definitely buy it on day 1.
I guess thats the beauty of "inspired by"; it has hints of it, yet it is not an abvious ripoff. I am looking forward to this one (and yes, i DO see the Mario similitude).
I was not expecting a lot, but certainly not this little, if anything at all. Virtual game cards was the only thing that got me excited. Pretty meh Direct.
I love these genious "anal-ists" who must have a private Oracle or a crystal ball to make their unfounded comments. How much will sell either system, dependes on the good old demand/supply, we barely know anything about the SW2, at this point anything is a superfluous guess.
How about a working, interactive, lag free online??? A decent eshop, digital game return policy, customizable home screen, social media, F%#^#@ing Netflix and other apps, and YES! Streetpass!!!!
Too expensive IMHO. A straight port of a game I played (and loved) in 2003?, for US$30 today it is too much. I would definetily pay this if it was remastered. I will pass until a sale comes up.
Besides all the first party games, which are all gems, my favourite two games were Xenoblade Chronicles X (about 480 hours put into it) and Unepic!!!! Gutted Unepic is not in this list.
I have been gaming for 40 years and 30fps vs 60fps still makes no difference to me whatsoever. I enjoy gameplay a heck of a lot more than graphics. What the heck“s wrong with me?
@Mando44646 My thought exactly. Good games are being published alright, but I can not keep up with the backlog and all the shovelware. Saving it up for the BIG games, like Hades
@RainbowGazelle Take a 6 hour trip with a 7 and a 12 year old boy, battery and charger packs in hand, BoTW, Odyssey, Minecraft (of course), Terraria, etc and life is a lot easier my dude. Then when you get where yo go, plug it into any TV! Gold!
I bought and never played this game on the Wii U (Yes, I LOVED the Wii U). Mostly because my then 6 or 7 year old son was playing this game a LOT of the time. I saw him playing it so much that I never bothered. Out of parent nostalgia I backedup a digital copy, mostly for my my now 12 year old son son to replay it. Now, the now 12 year old and the younger brother who is now 7 fight over the switch to play the Wonderful 101 remastered on the switch. I have not played it yet
@KIRO Simple, yet incredibly engaging game. Some call it relaxed, to me it is just a ton a of fun with multiple options available. Go slow at first and keep digging, you will love it in no time.

Re: "Everyone Is A Director" At Nintendo, Says Former Dev, But Don't Make Excuses
I believe this is more of an open approach to ideas, not that everyone can do as they imagine or please. It might be a bit poorly communicated.

Re: Square Enix Provides Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Global Sales Update
It should be closer to 5 million. It is a wonderful remake and a fun adventure. I am rather sad it is over for me.

Re: 11,000 People Ask Spotify To Support Nintendo Switch, The Response Is Underwhelming
Not at all... Of all the many things I would love to have run on my switch, Spotify is far from it.
