@JohnnyMind I've played it before, it just didn't really keep me hooked and I don't have much intention to really boot it up again. Especially since I already missed so many themes at this point anyway, haha.
I honestly much prefer their other efforts, Mario 35 and F-Zero 99. Those are more my forte. But it is nice to see Tetris 99 getting so much continued support!

Got me thinking about booting up the game for this one.

I mean, I won't, but it got me THINKING about it.

...not meaning to say it's a bad game, I just have skill issues with Tetris and the only ones I ever really enjoyed were Tetris & Dr. Mario on SNES and Tetris DS. lol

@Paulo Classic case of "don't judge a book by its cover". Or a mysterious book, in this case.

I'm really really hoping this game will be good. This feels like a pretty experimental game, which can go either way. But I do like what I've seen so far.

I'm definitely buying it day 1!

I'm still holding out a sparkle of hope that they will add Yoshi as a playable character in an update in this game, similar to how they made Dixie playable in an update years down the line in DKCR.

You know, at least Palworld made the creatures look okay. The creatures in this game look like bad AI knockoffs. So credit to Palworld on at least doing their homework better.

I give the game a lot of flack for being released as a GKC but it's genuinely nice to see people enjoying it so much, and I do enjoy seeing the little clips and such pass by on social media. If it ever goes on sale on the eShop I might dive in that way, the game isn't super big in file size so I don't mind too much for this one.

Of course by the time I'll be getting it, this article will have been buried way into oblivion, so I won't be rating it, but you know. lol

I feel so out of the loop, I don't know any of these people lol.

Also quite frankly I don't really care if they cast celebrities or not, so long as the movie, including the voices, are still good. Which they are, if you ask me. I'm excited to see this movie!

Yeah, they're not doing a very good job of it when you browse the eShop LOL. So many games that are clearly AI slop. If we can just get those AI things out that would already immensely improve things. Yes I know those are Switch 1 games but they're still on Switch 2.

....I'll just console myself with the idea that some poor sap at Nintendo probably had to test these games, including the really disgusting ones, for Switch 2 compatibility. lol

@Tempestryke Of course the popcorn bucket itself is the real prize.

Yeah, the western one just clears in this case. The Japanese one still isn't bad though!

I need this. But I'll probably need to import it for jackpot money. Maybe I can win some in the movie casino...

9/12, not bad I suppose.

@Shepdawg1 Well right now it's also because I had an event in life where money is tighter for me at the moment yeah, so I do have to choose my purchases more carefully. And GKC releases are definitely not in that budget.

I would, but... you know.

At least it's nice to see it having become a pretty good game though.

I love this poster. I need it on my wall.

I'm going to watch it because I know I'll be spoiled by it on social media anyway but I admittedly don't like how they're spoiling so much ahead of the movie again. Oh well. Should still be a good show! Need more Yoshi footage.

I hope the update that will likely add this will add a lot more than just bob-omb blast. But it would add some much needed content for this game, at least!

Why though? Why another Kirby? Why not one of the other Riders?

The amiibo is cool, but this feels entirely pointless to me. Noir Dedede is good though.

Eh, down the line these will be available for 20 bucks each and you'll still be off cheaper. I'll wait.

So, for those of us who don't care about shelling out for the Virtual Boy peripheral...

Two nothing burgers and a game that already has a remake on Switch.

Aight.

I didn't care for (Ultra)Sun and (Ultra)Moon as games much, but their box arts are cool for being connected when you put them side by side, so they get points for that.

I still gotta go with nostalgia though, either gen 1 or 2 are my pick, and that's a tough call. I think I'll go with gen 1 for being the only ones that didn't opt for legendary box arts.

I don't know many of the newer creatures, but I still got most answers right through process of elimination. 23/25. I'm pleased.

@AmanPikon If that's the case then it's all good. Well, a little pricy, but good.

This.... actually looks kind of good?? I'm being cautious for now but these actually look decent, and that makes me very happy right now. If they treat these right they might win me back over as a fan. Please let it be so, I don't want to have to be negative over Pokémon anymore, I want to be able to praise them again and look forward to them again. 🙏 But most of all I want them to treat this series like it deserves, which it is looking like they are now, going off the first impression.

Bravo, Pokémon! 👏

@Dr_Corndog Thank you, I don't know why but I appreciate the blessing anyway. 🙏

That's... really dumb? Unless the cartridges aren't sold separately. They found a way to monetize the music in a really dumb way.

Also ironic that they make cartridges for this but not the Fire Red Leaf Green releases.

Is this a nod to how the Pokémon franchise is working backwards these days? Why else would they release this before Colosseum?

I'm one of the (unfortunate?) few who can only think of that one video with 4 Non Blondes music What's Going On, but He Man, when seeing anything He Man.

I don't think I've ever seen the He Man cartoon itself or anything but that video alone makes me want to give it a try sometime, and in turn makes me interested in this game as well.

I have a soft spot for the 3DS XL for giving me a Yoshi themed system, and the New 3DS for having interchangeable face plates. Those were the best in my opinion. But they were all grand, I do kinda miss the 3DS, looking back. I should play it again!

It feels a little weird now, no longer having Game Boy and no longer having DS as relevant household names.

The magatama is kind of tempting...

@DollyrotsFan1 The way you say it almost sounds contradictory. "The majority of sales aren't the games so of course the games will sell."

I know what you mean though. Pokémon has become an absolute juggernaut, almost anything that carries the brand is sure to sell really well, including the games.

I can't believe Yoshi composed this game's music and didn't even put himself in the game. Such a humble dinosaur.

Anyway. STAR COURSE STAR COURSE STAR COURSE ✨️✨️✨️

As expected. It's Pokémon. They can do whatever they want and people will pull out their wallets regardless of how stanky a practice it is.

Of course, the games themselves are still really fun, so I can't even blame people. I'm probably going to buy one of these myself soonish, because a few relatives are going to as well, and we'll be playing together.

They have such an iron grip on their fanbase it's unreal.

I probably will get one of the versions, eventually maybe both (if they go on sale one day), solely because a relative is going to buy one and wants to play it with me, otherwise I would not get it for that price. Really not a fan of how greedy TPC has become over the years.

I typically don't like when box art includes just the logo. This one is no different. It feels lazy, no matter how much gold you slap onto the background. Japan wins this one easily!

These games have really good tunes so definitely happy about this addition. 👍

Say it with me... Japan gets all the best stuff!

More shocking than Pikachu on a Tuesday.

There is literally no reason for these to be priced this high. They're like double the price of Virtual Console GBA games. Greedy Pokémon company strikes again.

And if you use the HOME compatibility as an excuse, you're already paying for that privilege with the HOME subscription.

I really don't care about the context, AI sucks.

The judge is out on this one because they can't be bothered to make the games playable without that ridiculous accessory despite showing them like that perfectly fine in trailers.

I don't have Labo goggles, I don't want to get the Virtual Boy add ons, so this is an easy skip for me right now. A shame. I really don't see why they can't just make them available without that jank though.

Thanks, AI. Please have a pleasant bankruptcy already.

Worth every penny to me, definitely nabbing this if I get the chance!

Everyone really ought to stop calling key cards physical because they really aren't. They're sham physical.

Anyway, I skipped the first entry too because of the download shenanigans, and this one won't be any different then. Not that I ever expected them to do it differently here.

You know what, I'm not getting the game (yet), but don't mind if I help myself to another Yoshi icon.

Suppose I may as well wishlist it on the eshop and see if it will be on sale before it goes extinct. If not, eh, dinosaurs can sail the seven seas too.

Not for a while probably. Adventure mode and single player content in general is pretty bare bones again, and I barely played Aces either. If I want to play tennis I have other options, including just booting up Aces which largely plays the same, and Fever even reuses animations from Aces from what I've seen. I'll probably get Fever if I ever find it cheap enough. There are no in-game events here that will have you miss out on content like happened in Aces either as far as I know. (But if there is, all the more reason for me to just never pick it up once I missed some content.)

It's funny though how the simple inclusion of baby Yoshi instead of baby Waluigi would have been enough to get me to buy it. For some reason they always skip the one baby character that makes the most sense. Not that much in Mario games makes sense to begin with, especially in spin-offs, but you know.

Really ought to get back to this one.
