@jfp haven't been able to check yet but Fast RMX is the game I'm most looking forward to!

Is it possible to disable the camera tilt? I'm interested in the game as I never saw it in the arcades at the time, but I watched some videos and the continuous tilting seems quite annoying.

I'm not a big FPS fan but this looks very interesting.

Had to go with the New Nintendo 3DS XL - I regret not buying the SNES edition!

Brilliant soundtrack.

Story mode in (most of) the SNES games is actually very good, especially when played in co-op. Definitely more than "training for the real game".

@Mgalens @paloblanco there is some clear input lag. I've been playing these games for decades (on real hardware and various emulators) and it's never been as noticeable as it is here. It doesn't make it unplayable but sometimes I can't turn when I want or I place bombs on the wrong blocks because of it.

Also, the only actual screen filter is CRT and it's really bad.

@Pillowpants what do you find surprising about it? Football is still the most popular sport in the world and EA Sports FC has basically no competition. It will keep selling well regardless of its quality or (lack of) innovation.

Looking back at these covers I thought "they don't make beautiful covers like these anymore" and "the western version is so much better, the Japanese one looks just like a group photo" then I checked the results and looked at the comments... 🤦

Best news of the day by far! Woohoo!

Some people spreading orange man's propaganda here🤦‍♂️

I have great memories of Balloon Kid but haven't played it in 30 years at least, so that's a positive addition!

Presumably it's the result of all the negativity online and the low marketing budget. It's a shame as I'm really enjoying the game.

I like this game for 2 reasons.
First because it's great (I gave it a 9) and second because these days it's rare to see Nintendo releasing a game that is not just aimed at casual audiences / party game / Mario sports / Pokemon etc.
Now if only we could have a new F-Zero, Starfox, Wave Race, Eternal Darkness that would be great.

a lot of people here take things a bit too seriously. And it's definitely a Gamecube clone.

Superstars was really good, 2.43m isn't too bad but I wish it had sold more.

A 3D platformer is exactly the type of game where I can accept 30fps, especially if it's not a fast paced game. Last year I played Mario Sunshine after a long time and still loved it.

@Jack_Goetz true but they are all taken in handheld mode, the only docked one is a menu. Definitely not a good way to show what this game looks like.

Got my ticket for the 22nd 👍

In the end I got it physical for £50. I feel a bit robbed but the games are both still amazing.

I'm just waiting for the Switch 2 version.

So the rumours were accurate once again. Good to know.

"ps4 level tech" is just trolling at this point.

Presumably this was a conscious but risky marketing / branding decision by Genki. How many here knew them before? I definitely didn't. The settlement amount is undisclosed so we have no idea if the decision paid off.

the first 2 were quite dull and generally disappointing, presumably this will be the same but with better graphics!

Hmm sounds a bit too generic, apart from the first one and the Tee Lopes one.

I was hoping for Wave Race: Blue Storm this August but clearly that's not happening 😕

I remember reading about Bubsy in the magazines at the time, I always thought it was a well designed character and the graphics looked nice. I finally played the first game a few years ago and unfortunately didn't like it :/

great news, I love these guys! especially John, Richard, the jokes and interactions between them.

Hoping to see Forza Horizon 5.

I guess it's a good answer to the "10 year old tech" comments.

ahhh the beauty of neoliberalism. Revenue and profit growing even more than expectations but it's never enough, and also you have to make your shareholders happy. Who cares about the lives of 9,000 people anyway.

no discount from Currys yet?

Typical neoliberal behaviour. It's been destroying society for almost 50 years.
Thank you Nintendolife for sharing the news.

Interesting and I'll definitely try it as I didn't play at the time, but what Nintendo REALLY needs to release this summer is Wave Race Blue Storm!

supporting the Gamecube controller and its analog triggers is exactly what people want 😉

Looking forward to the new Pure mode!
This is my favourite and most played game on Switch 2, although it has some flaws. On the plus side, it motivated me to try Fast RMX on Switch 2 and it looks better than ever!

Anyone who plays F-Zero GX a bit more seriously will notice increased heaviness / delay / sensitivity.
A CRT TV is not a good option for everyone, some people don't have enough space at home and the higher resolution improves image quality anyway.
Nintendo should just fix this.

In case anyone is wondering, in performance mode this runs at locked 60 fps on Switch 2. The NSO Gamecube controller works as expected, including the analog triggers.

I don't like most of the actions and I don't like most of the locations. But I can see I'm in a small minority.

it would be nice if Nintendo fixed the input lag / bad stick calibration in the Gamecube emulator, F-Zero GX was already hard enough in its original form.

pre-ordered some time ago, Nintendo took the payment today.

True that the HUD is 4K but the rest has a lower resolution. They did mention a mixed 4K/1080p mode, but in a trailer I would expect them to show the highest quality.

EA is not the only company doing this, ultimately the problem is Neoliberalism.

@Suketoudara if that's the reason, well done Nintendolife!

Of course they started working on it as soon as MK8DX was done, and Switch 2 was too far at the time. The success of MK8DX meant that there was no rush to release a new one and they ended up moving it to Switch 2. They could have waited even longer, MKW will probably cannibalise some of MK8 sales.

I guess the number of tracks explains the low price, maybe they really wanted to release it on launch day so they had to focus on other things.

I'm surprised by all the graphics modes at 60. Fast RMX had 60 fps locked and variable resolution, which would be the perfect approach here too in my opinion.

Pre-ordered some time ago anyway.

@Maulbert lack of triggers?

@BirdoDidNothingWrong thanks! you said what I wanted to say but with better words.

@jfp in Europe where? at least in Italy and UK, teachers have very low salaries - which is why there are too few of them.

wow this is much lower than I expected! I was going to buy it on day 1 anyway.
