WoomyNNYes

For the most part, I've always thought the most recent console Mario Kart tends to be the best. Come on MK9!<3

I miss MK64's "EEEEEE" drift effect. XD

Now that I have shiny, new, modern Shredders Revenge, I'm not sure I still want TMNT arcade.

@Palico82 Yeah, I get the feeling they are getting ahead of themselves touting performance improvement with a rebuilt game. I'm sure it's not easy, though.

That's cheating. To demonstrate performance of the new Ultimate Edition, they show a desert with few trees? Every time I've seen the game, there's always forest with LOTS of trees. Looks like they're trying to scam us.

@Scapetti Unfortunately, Disney's kart racer is going to be free to play. (disregard, if you were aware) We'll see if Disney can do better than Chocobo GP.
Disney: Speedstorm

I had a good time with Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 single player campaign.

Looks cool. Too gory for me.

Ooof. That price. Must be Mexican Pesos pricing.🙃

Don't they know I can't swim in ink across grates/catwalks?!?!😠
(😉)

It looks great. I'm into it!

Rocket League: Even though I've improved in some areas, I'm struggling to get back to diamond rank this season.

And I'll be riding my bike. I may go ride bowl.

Is he a real collector if he doesn't have a room filled with clutter/figures/amiibo all over the place?🙃

(I don't like clutter. So, I respect that clean looking setup)

Just waiting for the review for Rabbids Pary of Legends. Thanks for the Portal Companion review NL<3.

I'm disappointed that they seem to be waiting till the end of console's life to bring half-life to the switch.

@Screen Staffers allow exceptions for special things, on occasion. If you become a staff writer, you too may be allowed the same discretion. NL is more protective of current gen consoles/games.

If this is switch footage, this looks better than I thought it would. Looks decent, performance-wise.

I would be ok if nintendolife didn't give any attention to free-to-play games.

It's a shame that such a good looking game isn't a regular retail game.

Thanks @korosanbo! <3

Is this THE Persona 5!???? Does "Royal" mean a deluxe edition, or have we been duped again. (I've never played Persona)

Truck yeah! This looks great!!!! It looks better than the first one. I'm psyched. Digital calendar marked!

direct just posted on nintendo youtube.

On the plus side, now I can bump up the play speed for the games I'm not interested in. XD

Oh, I wanted a live stream to chat with my NL people<3. Oh well.

@gcunit Yeah, no live stream from nintendo for us to chat.

@scully1888 Good to hear. Thanks.

@scully1888 So, how was the accleration/control, since the Switch doesn't have analog triggers? Did you use trigger throttle or analog stick for throttle?

Thanks for the review.

I liked the art & animation style when it came to the gamecube. I didn't like the time-consuming sailing. I never got to try Wind Waker HD and it's improved (shortened) sailing.

Nintendo's aloof-ness with their Directs has really gotten old for me.

edit: @rjejr, above, makes a good point.

Splatoon music always sounds weird at first, but I usually come around to it after hearing it a bunch. This song's fine. I feel like they are putting filler songs out first.

I'd set my second account to japan if it didn't flood my switch news with japanese news tiles. I can wait for the demo to come to NA region.

I tried to play Fall Guys yesterday, but never found matches. I'll try it again later today.

@Andy77mk i believe free to play games don't need nso to play online.

Hadn't gamed much in three weeks (due to warm weather, riding the bike, and other stuff), but I did just play some Rocket League and TMNT Shredder's Revenge.

(That new Rocket League tile for the Switch home screen is kinda ugly. Ew.)

@FishyS I think all these TMNT games are on most DS/3DS multicarts these days.

To this day, every once in a while, my brother and I still say "Nice Driving!" like that comically crappy raspy soundbyte in Super Monaco GP (Sega Genesis/Mega Drive). XD -true story.

It's been so long, even Octane has given up on new Pikmin<3 XD

(Hadn't seen Octane on here in a while. So, I'm made that up, for fun.)

I'm into it. I like that they made the pillars out of glass for the stage. It looks awesome.

If anyone wasn't aware, the stage design is based on this.

Maybe i don't need the 90s arcade tmnt now?😆 I'm psyched.

If only there was a June Nintendo Direct to drop some games to buy.

Sonic Team could never make anything this good!
(this is not meant to be inflammatory. That MK8 Sonic mod is just amazing.)

Good one Kate. Nice roundup.

I watched part of this gameplay video. I dare say, the mechanics look like they might be solid(not janky). This looks promising. (PC footage)

Weird that it says Nintendo eShop at the end, rather than Switch.

Looks very cool, but the lack of corners & hairpin turns may make this a pass for me.

...the fruits of Phil Spencer & Nintendo being friendly. I have no problem with that.

Wow that's a good looking game.

I'm still calling it E3 since the pandemic is temporary (hopefully!).

I don't think Nintendo will show any BOTW2 until after Splatoon 3 releases. - my guess. Although, I welcome it.

It's cool art style, for sure, but it hurts my eyes. I don't think I can play that.

...all that fast low-res stuff with irregular angles and textures. It's taxing. I'm still keeping an open mind, if there's a less sizzle-reel-like trailer. edit: Even playing it at half speed, XD, lol, it's still a lot.

I think Devolver Digital needs presentations need to turn it down to 11. They're so tense. (but I get it if people like it)

I guess I have to watch this show.

Game doesn't look compelling to me. And the current switch can't load open world environments fast enough to keep up with sonic zipping around.

If "Tuna Roll" was in japanese, I wouldn't know what fish was in the sushi.

I get it. Language can be a barrier if terminology is in a foreign language.
