I haven't bought this partly on principle and partly reviews saying it's boring. Should I change my mind?

I think it's possible to justify a 7, 8 or 9 out of 10 depending how you spin it.

The open world is a pleasant, chill place to be in, basically a souped up mission mode but it has No structure, adventure or hook to make you spend more than a handful of hours there.

The world design is ace, Grand Prix mode offers variety but the driving between tracks detracts from enjoying actual 3 lap tracks and it feels a bit off.

Knockout tour just works though and is a flawless experience, love the lack of interruption and the tracks flow better into each other than in Grand Prix.

Meanwhile battle mode is undercooked.

I think everyone agrees, sadly, it isn't a 10/10. But boy it could have been with a bit more thought and purpose applied to free roam, dangit Nintendo, you have all the ingredients for perfection but undercooked it slightly.

I have ordered Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition to scratch my Zelda itch and hoping it runs awesome

I don't really get the sudden desire to change voice actors, the existing ones were perfectly great and seem like they would happily continue if permitted

So many unlocked by transform via kamek, could take forever to get those ones?

So much racing on switch 2.... Mariokart World, this and F-zero GX, might get this at a later stage cos it feels like racing overkill 😂

I think MK8 is better, had better track designs. This game feels a bit all over the place in grand prix mode and free roam could have been a structured adventure.

Knockout mode is amazing though and I have no idea why but the tracks feel much better in that mode.

Prob an 8/10 for me - it's still Mariokart, still makes me smile and multiplayer is fun as hell, but just feel a bit of disappointment with some of its choices.

Which is better, LG C4 or Samsung SD90 and why?

Happy to fund a kickstarter for Grant to sue their ass 😂

Just sell on ebay, that's what I did for my OG switch which had stick drift, bagged £140

I think Nintendo recently discovered the word variable in the dictionary and made it their favourite

It's the Odyssey developers so more Pauline makes sense

@OorWullie for Prime 4, will it make financial sense to buy the OG switch version and then just get the upgrade pack? Also means you get better box art 😂🎨

Some guy who can't get a Preorder is gonna smash that glass and get themselves their Switch 2

It just brings up Nintendo Today! Biggest anticlimax ever.

@Maxz does this mean a microphone for listening in each joycon?

@KryptoniteKrunch Maybe the C on the button stands for Convoluted 🤷

If it was a cast button, could it take the image off the switch 2 and turn it into a Wii U without the need for another switch?

Also, I read somewhere the button might just bring up Nintendo Today 😂

That would be the ultimate Nintendo thing to do, overhype then underwhelm

@Maxz This comment made the story worth publishing

Preordered on Xbox so, don't care.

THPS3 is one of my favourite games of all time, I'd be all over a remaster/remake.

Even though I've played it countless times, it has the best levels and goals, love it.

Surely the date being 03.04, it would be insane if it wasn't related the the 3rd and fourth games.

And kudos for picking that date

Have the limited run version, was fun to play it again and complete it, because back in the day my save file glitched and erased itself when I reached the final world and I didn't have the will to restart it. So 25 odd years later, I got to do just that and complete the bugger 😂

Now that's a helluva comeback from the Wii U. Comfortably selling over 10x as many consoles 🎉🎊

@Ziondood Bullet Time and Zion.... Have we entered the Matrix?

Cool game BTW but yes it's hard, I have died every other second 🦊☠️

EXCELLENT CORNERING!

Great article, highlights a perspective I never considered as a non parent but now it feels crazy to force specific characters on small children. Do better Nintendo!

Don't understand some of the negative comments, all this does is boost the Switch 2 library. Portable Halo, like that's ace.

@TheBoilerman I love the first Rogue Squadron, it's so replayable!

I do have a soft spot for jedi power battles, was silly fun on the Dreamcast back in the day

@IceClimbersMain Agree, much better level design

7 is fair, good game but it's a really mediocre port, should have been brushed up to Tropical Freeze standards, then we could talk about a 9.

The leaks gutted it for sure, every feature down the the U shaped kick stand, "C button" and release trigger for the joycon were not a surprise

Nintendo has never been so safe and boring

It just looked like Mariokart 8 😂

What a rubbish reveal, oh here, you can play Mariokart again, zero reason to upgrade. No info on specs, no demo of the mouse functionality with a game, no 3rd party surprises, no show off of its power.

You know what? Genki did the reveal better xD

"The Internet is very upset about Nintendo showing us nothing"

@VoidofLight y'all got Rick Rolled by Nintendo

Tuesday 28th January folks.

I said it so you will believe it baby.

@Ultimapunch Said to my pal this morning no way it's happening this week. It's their DK returns week.

More likely, Tuesday 28th January.

I would have skipped this but I am currently recovering from a longterm illness, so have ordered it cheer me up, hopefully it does that!

P. S. If you live in the UK you can get it from Curry's for £36 with a discount code, which makes it a lot less ridiculous

Bam ba dam! Badiladilaa, doo da la daa, baaaaaa

Gotta love The Great Sea music

Its like Official Nintendo Magazine and N64 magazine if you lived in the UK in the 90s, official doesn't mean better or more accurate #GoTeamGenki

On a more serious point, Nintendo are lapping up the free marketing so of course they are happy to wait for the reveal to build anticipation. Genki are doing them a favour.

9/14, I'll take it

No.

It's an awful, awful, repetitive boring game with zero story pay off for fans of the first 2 games. Avoid like the plague.

Love how there was rumours for ages about a new 3D DK game and then we get um... remakes of this and Mario vs DK......... Like major let down, let's be real. This game isn't as good as tropical freeze so what's the point?

Nah, OG is best, Lanky Kong lyrics ftw

The Doomsday clock

Where's BanjoThreeie??

Not a fan of this one, it's got very bloated over large level designs, just doesn't have the same magic of the 1st one for me.

Is it backwards compatible?

It's bizarre they didn't rethink this after game testing, like wtf.

This is awesome, always wanted to play Climax and it goes for silly prices on ebay, whoop!
