I must be taking crazy pills, by the look of the poll results. This game is horrible! The water pack completely neuters Mario's movement, the platforming is borderline broken (the Pachinko level is the worst thing Nintendo has ever created, full stop), Yoshi is completely wasted, and while most levels are built on interesting ideas, the execution is abysmal. The only Mario game I've struggled to finish.
The GameCube roll-out has been pretty slow going. Windwaker and Luigi's Mansion are the only real highlights. I'm still hopeful Diddy Kong Racing will come to NSO - if they could make GoldenEye happen, why not DKR?
Playing SMBW online turned out to be the best way to play the main campaign, but the emphasis on multiplayer party-game content in a 2D platformer is bizarre and disappointing.
Not at all surprised that 41% of responses called for more Rare content on the platform ... I never thought I'd see GoldenEye on Nintendo again, so there's hope for things like BT and DKR.
I'll probably get SMBW at launch and then wait on SS for a bit. I do want to play it and it looks really good but Sonic games don't really get the benefit of the doubt anymore

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library With Another Game This Week
Considering Mario Sunshine was the reference game for the GameCube app's CRT filter, it's bananas the game wasn't available for over a year.
