@-wc- actually, that feature has been a staple of the Forza franchise, and I can tell you this: it works for Forza. It won't work for Mariokart (or Fzero, for that matter.
I think I get why people still hold on to Double Dash, but as someone who has played a lot of different racing games over the years, I prefer to focus more on the racing part. Leave the heavy strategy to Fire Emblem.
Got a decent way through Shadow Dragon DS, and holy cow, that game should be MUCH higher on this list along with NSMB and Spirit Tracks. It does not get more classic FE than that, and I will gladly take it over both Advance Wars entries on this system.
Calling it now: Forza Horizon style expansion island in about two to three years, when everyone has the game. Not sure if that will be good or bad, but it'll probably happen.
Like I'm even gonna get New Horizons. Obviously I will for collecting purposes, but this year, I only have my eye on New Leaf and Happy Home Designer, which will hold me off for a couple years. After all the things I've heard, I'm so glad I'm not an AC fan.
I've been playing on Xbox since 2016, and ultimately, every achievement I earned was meaningless. I wanna make up what I do in my games, not have outside objectives laid before me.
As for the eShop music, id only be there for two minutes, tops.
@Banjo- lol absolutely not. The Wii U was bad, and there is no way around that. It was underpowered, it's UI was insanely slow, it's VC was worse than the Wii, third parties left after a year, the controller was underutilized, and it's games were largely disappointing. Even if you factor in modding, the Wii and 3DS do all that for cheaper and better. It's the worst console they've ever made, and it's not even close.
I'm still in, because Nintendo is the only console manufacturer I have any hope in. If the Switch 2 is their last console, then you can take solace in the fact that I will never buy anything new gaming related again.
Both versions of Shadow Dragon, though I think I'll stick with the DS remake from here on out due to the MUCH faster pace (the original is still really good otherwise). Honest hot take: I prefer this over Blazing Blade, and it might end up being one of my favorites.
Sorry, but this game is still genuinely good, and I say that as someone who doesn't like the NES that much (even Mario 3 didn't hook me). It's simple, yes, but not to a fault. It doesn't include the extras from following games because it never needed them. It's about as pure as FE can get, and I love it for that. Obviously, the DS remake is better (in fact, that version might end up being one of my favorites), but this one is still worth it for the extra challenge and Marth being better in this version.
even though I have yet to play Twilight or Tears, the only one I got wrong was the Dark World one (could've sworn it was the Dark Mirror). That Tri Force Heroes one was a curveball, though.
@Atariboy GX will still have widescreen. All the N64 games that had widescreen allow you to switch. Nintendo just showed it in 4:3 because it's the default, similar to how they show the Game Boy games in barf green.
@ManaOwls you seriously haven't heard the horror stories of. . .ahem. . .BODY PARTS being posted on the site? There is a reason it was cut so early. Nintendo was done paying the moderators for taking care of all the complete garbage being posted on Miiverse.

Re: amiibo Could Be Getting A Price Hike, According To GameStop Listings (US)
Yeah, I'll just stick with the older ones on Amazon and eBay (Alm and Celica for $40, anyone?) and wait a few years on the newer ones.

Not Shadow Dragon? Or Awakening? Or Three Houses?
I haven't even listened to anything from Engage, since it's not in Smash. Give me a break!

Re: Some Fans Are Drawing Unfavourable Comparisons Between Switch 2 And Xbox One
It's not the same.
Bowser is basically saying the Switch 1 will be to the Switch 2 what the 3DS was to the Switch 1.
Mattrick was literally confirming the the 360 was better in every way.

@Solid_Python if we get another Wii U generation, we may finally see permanent price cuts, though.
Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?
@Banjo- I still stand by my claim. I feel no loss in not owning a Wii U.
Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?
@Donutman yes, but the remake came first.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Controllers Are Compatible With "Switch 2 Exclusive Games"
@Spider-Kev um. . .don't use it?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Controllers Are Compatible With "Switch 2 Exclusive Games"
If the GameCube controller adapter works, then they'll probably allow you to use it with the NSO app. Makes me glad I bought it.
Re: Switch 2's Jump From OLED To LCD Wasn't A Decision Nintendo Took Lightly
I never cared about the screen quality, tbh. I mean, I still use a 3DS. I honestly felt that the OLED model was redundant for me.
Re: GameCube Games On Switch 2 Will Support An Optional CRT Filter
@HexagonSun Sunshine supported it in 3D Allstars.
Re: GameCube Games On Switch 2 Will Support An Optional CRT Filter
@KayFiOS it's probably the very reason 3D Allstars was limited in the first place.
Still doesn't explain FE Shadow Dragon, though.
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
@Not_Soos yeah, that would do it.
