@NintendoKnight You know covid vaccines are not good protecting you from getting the disease, but for getting too sick and dying for it. Its common knowledge. Getting covid is not really the problem, dying for it, or getting to sock is. Vaccines work
@Kirgo its a Mario movie, with or without Martinet. The core fans are going to see it, even without the games voice actor. Very few people in the world even know who's Martinet. So the Mario aspect of the movie is already covered. Now you need as many factors possible to draw non fans, and a famous star is one, there are many Pratt fans that are going to watch it because Pratt, not mario.
Its about adding potential public.
@DK-Fan the best zelda game of all time? Nah, I still prefer A Link to the Past, thank you. I loved BOTW, but I dont think it as the best zelda ever. 🤷🏻♂️
Tetris effect really? I found it very meh, played once, finished the solo mode... and thats it.... I love Tetris, but this one is just tetris, again. I suspect that playing it in VR could be awesome, and truly great. But on the Switch is just a pretty Tetris.
@Max_the_German first pf all, Gorillas can be dark brown, black, grey, and many shades in between.
Second, cartoon gorillas are animals, and their fur color are not representative of any shade of human skin…
You are being racist (and kind of dumb), maybe you just dont realize it.
@nocdaes I have Lego bricks from the 60's in excellent condition, and played by my daughters. I think few plastic toys have such a long life span as LEGO. Using recycled plastic can lower its quality, and lifespan, contamining even more.
@wHeReArEtHeChEeToS
Just dont yet, the expansion pack is greatly overpriced.
I made the mistake... and I am very disappointed
Its not only the low number of games included... is that N64 games have not aged that well really. Its not the case with most vintage 2D games that are totally enjoyable (at least most of SNES ones). Early 3D games have lots playability problems compared with today standards and the graphics are kind of ugly. Even one of the best games, Mario 64 have very frustrating camera issues. Sure, they are still great Nintendo games... but not at that price.
Why are you arguing such a fact? Dr. Mario is world known because the NES and Gameboy cartridges (and later consoles), not because Arcades.... Sure, you may got into the game because arcades, but you are in the minority.
@frogopus Sure, so was Vs. Super Mario bros., but that don't make the game a "Arcade classic". Dr. Mario was a console game first and foremost. The arcade games, both Vs. and Playchoice, where mostly a port. The main release and focus where on the NES and Gameboy.
Obviously a clickbait review… the writer already didnt like the originals, why would he change his view with this one. Sure, Bad articles make lots of comments, so it make more $$$. Cheap practice, and you are risking loosing readers.
@RadioHedgeFund the thing about touch controls in some games is having your fingers over the screen, it does not only hide some part pf an already small screen, but can be distracting as hell and pull out of the inmersion. Some games are better played with physical controls…
I personally think this should have a much higher value that many vintage mint cartridges. I would love to own that kind of stuff, framed and hanged in a wall
Super Mario World is a much better launch game. It stands the test of time much better, is 2D platforming polished.
Mario 64, was great, and maybe even more important in game history as the basis for 3D platformer. But playing it today is not as enjoyable as it was in 1993. (Edit: 1996)
Much better than Sunshine tho.
@Waluigi wtf, How is this a spoiler???... Its the obvious final boss, that appeared in the very first cut scene of the game.... Its like complaining when Thanos appeared on the poster of Avengers...
@SwitchForce lol. Lego is already working with Nintendo. They have plans for future sets, so they dont want to use any fan ideas proposal, no matter how many user votes they had, Lego has the ultimate saying.
Its not that its "expensive"... but in context, it doubles the standart service price... for just a handful of N64 games? Unless they start giving discounts or free actual switch games with the service its a rip off.
The only way I would think on paying a cloud game is if the actual console is not powerful enough for it. Is like paying full price for a Flash web game...
@YusseiWarrior3000 lol I didnt try to insult you! Especially not because a video game article (or video). And about my profile picture... I like Mario, and I like being naked.... 😂
@BloodNinja of course people returning to comment here counts in page views, which is how this site survives. Im returning to respond ypur comment, as some others did. More visitors = more revenue. Its an easy concept.

@CharlieGirl @Clyde_Radcliffe I dont see Martinet doing more than some words here and there. His voice is great as sound FX on a video game... But hearing that voice talking for 90 minutes could be torture. Now, casting Pratt as Mario is really weird tho.
@Anti-Matter You can say the same for any other console. Hoping for GBA on the service released at the same time as GB games is not very probable. Is like hoping the NES games whwre released at the same time as SNES ones

Re: Random: Did You Know About This Amazing Water Effect In The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
@BloodNinja my little brother “hated” carrots with out trying them… such a whinner, but then he grew up. Surely your case is totally different
Re: Random: Did You Know About This Amazing Water Effect In The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
@BloodNinja fair enough, but still, “hate” sounds kind of exagerated for a game you are not interested.
Re: Random: Did You Know About This Amazing Water Effect In The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
@BloodNinja hated? Really? It has many flaws, but I though it was a very, very enjoyable game.
Maybe you where expecting too much, it was very hyped.
