A lack of Mario Party DLC is one of the weirdest Nintendo moves of the Switch era. Would happily invest in new maps / modes / character packs or for a proper online experience.
Finally started Paper Mario last week so I'm finishing that off. Picked up Sakuna and the Xenoblade Chronicles Remaster in sales recently (managed to get both for £50!) and might get onto one of them.
I still hope it's gonna be Switch Pro release and it all lines up with a big expansion of Switch Online for a much larger games catalogue, and something more "Nintendo As A Service" like the way Xbox Game Pass is going. If they're releasing a lot of old IP as part of a more expansive online approach it'll be a crazy year for them next year.
Enjoying this! Good party game when everyone's bored of Mario Party not having DLC. Graphics are ace but a few more minigames as a DLC would be great too!
Honestly I think people are just taking their time to pick it up. I definitely want to get it as I didn't play the Wii U version, but I've spent a fair bit on new games this year and I'm holding off for some Black Friday deals.
I wasn't too fussed with the demo really and this kinda makes me feel like my initial thoughts were spot on. Shame really as the basic idea was fairly good.
I think it's pretty much nailed on that the Switch is going to be widely regarded as one of the best consoles of all time. I'm so glad the great Wii U games got the love they deserved eventually as well.
AC/ Ring Fit console bundles are decent and it's not a bad day to snap up a memory card but nothing really worth it in the game deals. Hopefully some more appear...
Haven't played any of these games for so long and am looking forward to rinsing these over the next few weeks! As long as they're as fun as they were when they came out I'm very excited.
I got FIFA 20 when it was heavily discounted and it's fine, but the legacy "approach" makes it worth about £20 max. Absolutely no way I'd buy a reskinned version of it at £45.

Re: LEGO Partners With Sega To Turn This Fan-Made Sonic Set Into A Real Product
Love Lego and Mario, and I know why the sets were aimed at younger audiences, but this is far more appealing to me than the Super Mario sets.
