@stuie1234 I'm not surprised at all. Honestly, I've no idea why some people believe that game will do as well as Mario Kart World. Not going to lie, I completely forgot about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds until I saw the game's name in your comment. It's the same with Sonic Superstars; for whatever reason, people thought that game would sell as well as Super Mario Bros. Wonder...
@Kazman2007 Those kinds of people are the reason videogames are stagnating in a lot of ways these days, honestly. Some great games are going to be released for the Switch 2, but I'm sure most of the game that'll be released later on will just be rehashes of stuff we've already played a million times.
As silly as this sounds, if they ever announce that Mother 3 will officially be localized in English, I'll burst into tears. Mother 3's one of the best Nintendo games made for the Gameboy Advance, and, while that one fan translation is superb, it'd be interesting to see what the story would be like "officially" translated.
Since Athenian Rhapsody was pretty much Nico Papalia's answer to Undertale, Tales of Tuscany is pretty much his answer to Deltarune. The fact that a lot of key characters from Rhapsody seem to have been "repurposed" for Tuscany definitely helps with that comparison.
@SillyG Very, very few Sonic games are good, honestly. The original trilogy, CD, the Advanced trilogy, the Rush games, Heroes, Unleashed, Colors, and Generations are the only ones I've ever considered high in quality. Everything else is either garbage or something nobody's played. Compare that with Mario games, where a VERY good deal of them are best-sellers. Just look at how much of an impact Super Mario Bros. Wonder had in comparison to Sonic Superstars.
@DTFaux It's true, which is why it's so unfortunate that the people who've got a hold of the Bubsy IP don't really care about it. It does have the potential to be a genuinely good series of games, but the people at the helm of this aren't taking it seriously enough.
It is depressing how they insist on keeping this series that nobody has any love or respect for alive. They are trying so hard to sell something that has been trash since its conception. Let this failed mascot platformer series die already, and move on to something that actually matters.
@BirdoDidNothingWrong It's unfortunate how you clicked on this article just to skim through it and then insult the journalist who wrote it. And I bet you didn't even watch the video, either.
@Princess_Lilly He makes it look easy, but, I assure you, is isn't. At least those letters have a passing resemblance to the letters of the actual alphabet. There're some fantasy languages with letters that don't resemble any letters from any real-world language at all.
@Elitepatriot "Autistic detail". What a horrible way to see those who possess a high level attention to detail. Especially those who possess it, but aren't even autistic, which 2Chrispy most certainly isn't. You seriously need to do better than this.
@AussieMcBucket Grand Theft Auto is too much for Nintendo, I think. There've been many Nintendo handheld ports, and the remastered version of the original trilogy can be bought for the first Switch. But with the amount of stuff Rockstar means to do with GTAVI? It's going to be too much for Nintendo to handle. Especially since the game's obviously going to get an M rating.
@NotASockPuppet You've got a point there, now you've brought that up. It's just that GTAVI is obviously going to be the biggest GTA game and biggest open-world game yet. Rockstar means to pump a monstrous amount of stuff into this game, so they need all the time they can get.
That aside, this is ironically a good thing. Especially when you take into account the sheer amount of unfinished, glitchy messes these companies have been releasing for years. So, reading that one of them is finally taking their time to make the game amazing the first time, is a huge breath of fresh air in a way.
It's nonsensical to me how something like this was apparently interesting enough to make an entire article about. You've got to conserve your space and energy for real news and real announcements. Not a meaningless poll about a color of a menu strip.
@jowy_sw This is when it gets to the point where you make a game of your own, I think. Continue to wait for these companies to make the game you want to play, and you're going to be waiting for the rest of your life. Fans of Rayman, for example, are going to be waiting pretty much for the rest of the lives for Ubisoft to make a "Rayman 4". And why do that to yourself when you can try to make your own game inspired by Rayman, instead?
@RareFan It's the same with a lot of other videogame IPs that've been essentially abandoned. We'll never get another Rayman game from Ubisoft, we'll never get another Mega Man Legends from Capcom, and the same goes from so many other IPs that were just left hanging. These companies don't care about them anymore.
@Jemae That's what I was thinking when I first heard about the price spikes. As fun as these games are, we've got to remember they're just games. And experiencing life with the game console turned off is much more important.
@LikelySatan Acting that way about these situations isn't going to make them any better. At this point, all you can really do is take the good with the bad, and see how things turn out whilst still living your life.
@anzzjam You're really going to wait three years to buy it? Do you have any idea how many games will be made and released for it by then? You'll be missing out on a lot.
The North American/European one. The Japanese one falls in line with that country's habit of focusing on the cuteness, but it doesn't tell you what the game's about. If you never heard about Pikmin before and came across that, you'd just be confused. It's three nondescript creatures standing side-by-side in front of flowers, staring at you. That doesn't say anything about what the game entails.
The North American/European cover is much more dated due to the CGI (which is why they likely switched to clay sculptures later on, which are much more timeless), but it does a good job of telling you what the game's about: Olimar working with the Pikmin to combat the hostile wildlife of PNF-404. It's the perfect way to introduce someone who's never heard of this franchise before to it.
@Zeebor15 You're not going to get anywhere if you continue to refuse giving these kinds of things a chance. I'm unsure as to why you wish to be that way when they're doing the best they can to make this the biggest Mario Kart game ever.
@sixrings You mustn't judge a book by its cover, and this particular book's got a lot of pages to flip through. Keep in mind that direct was only scratching the surface of what this game's got to offer.
I haven't seen anything of the original game in decades, so it's nice to see it hasn't been forgotten and there's now a remake for a whole generation to experience.
