The name of the series kinda limits the setting of the game. Can Luigi's Mansion take place in anything other than a mansion? Are we stuck exploring mansions forever?
@N00BiSH I was disappointed that you didn't continue the play on words when you said Rare. I kept reading hoping this was a Donkey Kong pun analogy with throwing DK developer names in. Would have felt so Retro.
He's right. The leakers ruined all surprises with this announcement. My YouTube feed was constantly flooded with leak information from AndreasRestart, RGT85, and SunbroNation.
We're all underwhelmed by this reveal because of the leaks. That's what we get for eating up any Switch 2 news that came across the internet. The regular casual audience will be the only ones surprised by this reveal.
I think the price and removing Retro Studios from the credits has created a sudden hate for the game. It's really a fantastic game for what you get. 8 full worlds plus a 9th bonus world from the 3DS version.
@Rob3008 It's similar. It's an art selection, cool down, recharge, repeat combat system with combos, buffs, and debuffs sprinkled in. Don't go into this game thinking it's turn-based or hack 'n' slash. I think that's what people are most disappointed in with the combat system. Don't just run into battle and start button mashing on arts because it won't work.
The font in the user interface is the best upgrade. We can actually read it. That last few seconds of the trailer shows new areas to explore. Looking forward to that.
I really hope all the leaked images and info is a huge marketing scheme. Nintendo let this stuff leak to mislead us into thinking it's real. Then they reveal something completely different and cause even more mass hysteria. This is easily the best way to get us hyped and talking about it, creating buzz and stock market surges.
I somehow missed this article back in April, but I was thinking about this concept last week of being able to map out key moments based on Pokemon generation releases. Elementary school was 1st gen, middle school was 2nd gen, high school was 3rd gen, college was 4th gen, and adult life was 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. I can remember what I was doing in life based on which Pokemon games were new at the time.

Re: Talking Point: Which 'Tales' Game Will Come To Switch Next?
Tales of the Abyss is my favorite because it's the only one I've played. Adored it on 3DS. Hoping to get an HD remaster soon.

Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Sold Above Expectations, Says Square Enix
It's about time for this game to go on sale. It's been $60 long enough. I'd love to get it with a voucher, but of course, it's not eligible.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Digital File Size Seemingly Reduced
Even though I have one voucher still sitting on my account, I will get this physically. I want the game case.
Re: Surprise! Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Now Has A Switch eShop Demo
@N00BiSH I was disappointed that you didn't continue the play on words when you said Rare. I kept reading hoping this was a Donkey Kong pun analogy with throwing DK developer names in. Would have felt so Retro.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds Classic Super Mario SNES Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included

I'd love an HD remaster of 3D Land. Easily one of the best final boss sequences in the series with the chase.
Re: Splatoon 3's Chocolate Splatfest Returns Next Month
We all know that white chocolate will win because we're mostly immature dude bros on the internet with our minds in the gutter.
Re: Level-5's Long-Awaited Fantasy Life Sequel Seems To No Longer Be A Switch Exclusive
Still getting this on Switch. I will not betray my love for the first game with jumping ship to the PS4.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
@MergonTheShade That's what GameXplain and Digital Foundary is for.
Re: Nintendo Will Hold A Switch 2 Direct Presentation In April
I'll be buried in so much Xenoblade Chronicles X DE gameplay to even worry about any Switch 2 Direct.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
I think the price and removing Retro Studios from the credits has created a sudden hate for the game. It's really a fantastic game for what you get. 8 full worlds plus a 9th bonus world from the 3DS version.
Re: Retro Staff Credits Removed From Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Forever Entertainment Confirmed As Devs
If this is a standard practice, why are people surprised?

Re: Talking Point: Is The Switch 2 Going To Be Too Big?
I play primarily docked on Switch. With a bigger screen and bigger form factor to hold on to, I'll probably play Switch 2 undocked more often.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Trailer Sheds Light On Its Story
@Tyranexx Throw your backlog to the side and dive in to this game on launch day. You'll love it.

Re: Poll: Does Anyone Actually Use The Switch Joy-Con Straps?
@Uncle_Franklin Love that movie!
Re: Poll: Does Anyone Actually Use The Switch Joy-Con Straps?
Never use the joy cons let alone the wrist straps. Pro Controller in TV mode all the way.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Donkey Kong Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
@Bolt_Strike Tell that to the snow levels that had stupid yodeling sounds. Complete trash compared to the SNES version.
