@molkom yeah, I'm pretty sure they introduced some interesting concepts that have been done better later by other games. I'll give them another go at some point though.

@kal_el_07241 perhaps it's about the time like you said. I was late to the party when it comes Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World. I grew up playing Super Mario Bros and Super Mario 64. I like the simplicity of these games and I also love the newer Mario games, like Super Mario Odyssey or Super Mario Wonder. The thing I don't like about World or 3 is that it's neither simple or complex enough to be fun for me. These games are too random and I also don't like the art style in them.

Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros 3 are almost always concluded to be the best Mario games, while they are some of my least favorite Mario games. I just don't get the hype about them.

I'm still on my OLED. Don't wanna downgrade my screen quality (despite resolution boost) and battery life, as these two are my biggest priorities.

@Anti-Matter

Used to be I played NES games when I was kid, despite by using pirated cartridge with 100 games in 1 including the bootlegs like Kungfu Mario.
But I have no longer interest with NES games anymore.
I have no longer interest with retro 8 bit games.

I'm calling 911 right now. 😤😜

30 FPS for a simple 3D platformer on a console released in 2025 is wild.

@abbyhitter Diddy got 4 years, so what is fair for the pirate? 3 minutes?

@LazyDaisy me neither. It feels like teasing.

Paid DLC for such expensive games make me sad

@ShadLink yeah, but it looks so realistic otherwise that this effect is very pronounced.

Looks a bit frankensteined, but I like it anyway.

@Lizuka I feel sorry for you tbh.

Porting a fighting game to a 2 months old console is a lot of work? Oh dear...

@Mana_Knight yes, yes, yes! To precise - only the boss battles. But they were really hard at the end.

My biggest issue with Kirby and the Forgotten Land was the 30 FPS, so I'm happy it's finally fixed. 3D platformers really should run at 60 fps at least, it's completely different experience.

Side note, I still remember my evil laughter about all these reviewers calling this game easy. You can tell they haven't 100%-ed it.

This game will never get old.

I hoped Switch 2 would finally end the era of 30 fps 🥴

This article actually made me sad. It's the price we pay for insanely easy access to information, which is relatively new for humanity. The magic is gone, everything is awaiting to be spoiled just around the corner. And like someone said above - yes, we don't need to look. But knowing it's there doesn't come for free, mentally.

American one being a bit creepy with Donald and Mickey having their best time with Huey, Dewey, and Louie trapped three steps behind them 🤭

We should really destroy the culture of this sick inequality ASAP. I understand giving someone more, but not THAT MUCH. We should respect all people who work on company's success. CEO is important, but not 1000 times more than the others.

@Mattock1987 I'm somewhere between a casual player and a pro player - I race on 200cc in MK8 easily, but I usually don't win online, because I'm not THAT dedicated to the game and I don't know all the shortcuts etc. That being said, there are many people who play Mario Kart a lot and we should let them speak. If they don't like the change, they know what they're saying. If I don't eat pickles, I don't go and tell pickle lovers to shut up when the biggest pickle brand changes the recipe for worse.

@undeadly because technical demo should be free?

@undeadly can you please explain your thought process when you say "Nobody is forcing you to buy it"? I can't get my head around folks who think this fixes anything about the problems people complain about. Like for example, there's an influencer who's considered a bad example for children and then some people think it fixes the problem when they say "but nobody's forced to watch". Like WTF?

No excuse for it not being FREE.

I usually play in handheld mode and just from time to time docked. My Switch OLED is 3 and a half years old, not a single scratch. I don't use screen protectors, because I don't like them. How do people scratch these screens?

I can't wait to play PAL version of Gex: Enter the Gecko. His voice was hypnotizing. I was really surprised to find out that American version had completely different voice used, so much less unique.

@ButterySmooth30FPS I was talking about mainstream consoles.

Switch 2 is arguably the console with the worst day 1 game lineup in history.

@RogerFederer to be fair, I've never played online. But as for the tracks, keep in mind that only the best ones made it through to MK8 Deluxe and even those were slightly improved.

@RogerFederer actually the first Mario Kart I experienced was Mario Kart 64 (absolutely unplayable for me today). Then GBA (boring today) and SNES (boring too). Then 7 - I liked it when I played it for the first time, but I tried it again like a year ago. I was susprised to find out that driving was so dull. Wide and empty tracks. You keep pushing forward, you are perfectly first all the time and then randomly get hit by a blue shell and lose. It happens in 8 Deluxe too, of course, but it's less common and there's more skill involved in the driving in 8 Deluxe, as there is much more going on.

@RogerFederer I disagree with 7 being the best, let alone by far. I think 8 Deluxe is the best by very far, followed by World. Older Mario Kart instances suffer from boring driving mechanics and too much randomness.

I have a serious problem with those two being the same product:

• Image quality that could generously be described as 'functional'...in 1997
• 7/10

I mean, if this got 2/10 it wouldn't be surprising at all.

@PcTV sorry, I meant 11. Haven't played it in such a long time I even forgot the name 😋

I got Mortal Kombat X on Switch 1 and it looks like dog sh*t in handheld mode.

EDIT

Sorry, I meant MK11.

It's a solid game, but it's nowhere near as great as MK8 Deluxe. MK World reminds me of the older Mario Kart games, but with improved graphics. It's just missing something.

@Stwert consider original Switch is 8 years old. It's sad we still can't have reasonable battery lives in 2025.

I'm not getting one, because I'd go crazy with the battery life. Hopefully that'll be fixed in the next version.

I heard the D-Pad is still awful. It would be kind if the media talked about this for a change. Last time I got mine unaware of the issue, because nobody freakin' talked about it.

That only shows that their scores are worth sh*t.

I can't believe that all these AI threats will become reality. I can't believe would give away their basic human instincts just because corporations wanted to take them from us. I hope most of us wouldn't buy AI-created things.

Difficult to say from the photos, but it looks to me like Nintendo finally improved their quality game. Both the console and accessories look like the build quality is actually decent, which was missing from Nintendo for years.

Not a fan of the music or sound effects. Mario Kart World seems to have mediocre sound design, I'm afraid.

I'm so tired of 2020s already and we're only halfway through. It's one bad news after another bad news and more bad news.

@wanderwonder I'm gonna set up a VS mode race with mushrooms and blue shells only and try, thanks 😁

@wanderwonder it happens to me very, very rarely that I even have a mushroom. Don't wanna brag, but after all these hours playing I'm usually first even on 200cc and I don't play online (that would change everything, I know). Do you know more or less how much time frame is there to avoid the shell with the mushroom? I only tried to do that maybe 5 times.

I played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for hours and hours, but I have never managed to dodge the blue shell with mushroom.

@dazzleshell yeah bro that sucks. I'm pretty sure they'll fix it in the Pro 2 though.
