love the idea of a village/town. it almost merges the ideas of LM2 taking separate buildings but connects it as one big area to explore. lots of unique potential for portrait ghosts too

that said please PLEASE put luigi in a prison

i love miiverse, it really was my first kids social platform where i found my love of sharing art. if it was an app that loaded fast i could see it being a compelling NSO app feature even. but that ship sailed a long time ago, they dont even want to promote miis anymore let alone have interesting console apps

i still believe in streetpass tho. pls nintendo let me stuff a joycon in my pocket and count my steps

i still cant get over how mechanically clever the joycons are. ignoring how sensitive they are or how people dismiss them after getting a pro controller, ive taken advantage of every play style they have. even just laying in bed i play with the joycons detached so i can spread my arms and play more comfy

i wouldnt be surprised if the mouse controls are the only new thing about switch 2. the vibe i get from the switch MO is having non intrusive gimmicks. whether its tv mode/handheld, controllers/mouse, play how you want

the real question is wondering how INCREDIBLE a 1-2 switch sequel is gonna be with mouse controls

remembering the context of the wii u existing makes the switch 2 name funnier to me. i wonder why nintendo doesnt want to take a risk with naming their new system

i will say tho part of me still doesnt like the name "Switch". because its such a generic word it always has to be officially called the "Nintendo Switch". such a mouthful and Nintendo Switch Sports has such an awkward name because of it yes im petty

can i also hijack this article to talk about NH in general. i think its an overall great game once you look past literally the worst update cycle a nintendo games ever had, but i do agree its a lot easier to burnout on compared to NL

for perspective i got around 1000 hours in NL in the span of 5 years, and got 1000 hours into NH in 2 years. but i dont think NH will last me as long as 5 years. i believe cause decorating is much more fast paced, but theres not a lot to do once youre done decorating

to me it comes down to the fact that NH introduce a couple big features (terraforming, improved decorating, more items, QOL changes) but removed a lot of little things because of that (no minigames, less npcs, less buildings, less holidays, missing item sets). its a "complete" game that feels like its missing a lot still

my realistic hope for switch 2 is they make NH deluxe and add back a ton of missing features from past games, plus some new stuff. cause if we dont get NH deluxe i genuinely believe we wont get a new AC game until 2030 or something lol

Out of all games to copy they pick the one that solidified the downward spiral of mario sports this generation

Or I guess, the ai picked it lol

Super solid mobile game, especially fun having all the premium features that would've been a subscription otherwise. Collecting items and materials is much more generous now, makes me wish it was a switch port too for more comfortable controls lol

I'd recommend it to anyone that enjoys decorating since this game is the best showcase of items and outfits of the entire franchise. it's still a very routine mobile game tho, so when you're not decorating you're just going through a cycle of tasks until the next cycle comes in

i know theres a bigger debate on a 3yo being bad at a game or kids needing to earn their stripes for games to be a fulfilling hobby, but i think people are forgetting the original point of the headline

and yes, its dumb to have easy mode gated to specific characters when they all essentially play the same. an invincibility badge wouldve been way more customizable, and wonder's solution is more of a limitation of not wanting to program power ups to nabbit or yoshi

this era they took the modern designs and brought them to HD, and im all for them doing that with their cartoonish 2d designs. unless you want more visible mustache hair and pores on mario, this is a nice way to graphically differentiate mk8 and 9 as well

the mark i believe they'll aim for is between "god thats way too expensive" and "but fine ill pay". dont forget NSO expansion pack at launch, be prepared if its just a BIT more expensive than your first guess

More racers and potentially bigger courses, I can see it being great but we'll have to see the execution

I'd much prefer they do something different from mk8d because there's literally no way to top that games content. backwards compatibility means both games will be competing for our attention, might as well do something different so you have a reason to play either mk9 or mk8d

they want us to embrace the switch ecosystem has hard as we can, definitely a good call. who knows we might even get a switch 3 before they decide to have another weird and risky console again

what i find curious is how leaks this big havent happened sooner. like youre telling me 3rd party accessory companies were allowed to leak pics this whole time? they didnt sign any NDA, nothing? its like all at once companies realized they could get away with it

im so numb to all the leaks of images i just believe them all now. thats a switch 2, some dude brought one home already but since the games arent out they just play in system settings all day

it was an amazing time, and it also excited me for the future since like they said in its earliest trailer itd be the end of a trilogy, and they really made it feel like one. the implication that splatoon 4 will be more bold and different sounds exciting.

my mind racing with ideas like if they'll have the gaul to added even more idols to our 7, lore implications of the future of salmon run, potential changes to the weapon system, how the past/present/future splatfest will affect the theming this time, ect. its nice to know that as splatoon fan theres always something to look forward to

god right around the time they removed a bunch of cartoon network shows from their streaming service too. do they just, not know how to make good games anymore? every time i hear about warner bros its always about some bad press or grimy live service tactics

id love it but id still worry since its really easy for nintendo to just, "half ass" their casual games now. brain age, big brain academy, even switch sports to a degree. they feels less like evolving the franchise, and more like testing the waters with something quick and cheap

since its far in the past i wonder how people speculated about nintendos future during the wii u era. any console can turn the tide, but i feel sony and microsoft are definitely having their wii u moment right now of realizing they need to turn things around

im gonna fear the day we hear about a fan modding their alarm clock and nintendo bricking their device or something

also doubtful since the character was as prevalent as the mario family. kinda there to fill in some dialogue while egging on the brothers, but the plots moved passed that point already. wouldnt be surprised if the "real word" has even less screen time in the sequel

i feel this game can easily get the MK8 deluxe treatment for switch 2 and just expand on the the game. i dont think nintendo wants to give up on ultimate just yet, no way a proper sequel will be this packed again

besides the typical new fighters/stages they could re-add fan favorites modes like smash run and target test, or (please) give online a better structure than HOPING you get the very specific ruleset you want in match making

im sorry i cant be him

arguments about woke=broke are so cherry picked, like is that why BG3 is doing so "bad"? as far as i can tell theyre just making mediocre and buggy games no one wants to play

finally an ost with some meat on its bones, but im already out of the honeymoon phase with the music app. nintendo treats the app as more a supplement to dripfeed OSTs than as a replacement, so ill probably just check back in a year or something once its actually LOADED with new songs

streetpass pls im begging. heck if you dont wanna carry a whole switch with you, make streetpass attached to the joycon specifically so you only need to bring that around

i still find it weird how despite how important the DK legacy is for both mario and nintendo as a whole, its last game was in 2014

so we see the franchise live on through movie appearances, lego sets, a theme park area, ect. but a new game is somehow not on the priority yet lol

At this rate you're better off joining a MP discord specifically for matchmaking, much less overwhelming than you think!

There's a wide pool of people settling up rooms to join or setting up your own, and most importantly an option for just text chatting if you're too voice shy

Still lame how barren matchmaking is otherwise. I'm already noticing bots in the bowser island modes too, makes me all the more annoyed to remember I'm paying for this "online"

i dont think i even touched tag team online yet lol

but i agree more rule customization would go a long way, MP always felt stingy about that. individual minigame/bonus star toggle, adjusting the coin economy, buddy toggle, more turns in pro mode, ect

and the drip feed continues. decade old games is one thing but when a music app has to span practically EVERY generation of nintendo hardware its gonna hit harder i feel

i enjoy the curated playlists for walking and sleeping tho. helpful when i dont wanna worry about songs or lyrics getting to the "good part" when the playlist is essentially bg noise

wee hee! yahoo! yuppidy dee!

i can understand why some fans see TOK as a higher standard. it honestly has better presentation with just as much adventure and personality, but nintendo would be insane to think we dont want unique characters and in depth battles systems again after the remake

ttyd was a nearly perfect sequel, im looking forward to a new game that merges the best ideas between TTYD and TOK

doing a 180 on marketing definitely sounds risky but then you remember the 180 was in contrast to the wii u

i think what makes this especially important is how each song comes with a related screenshot. could easily spoil a character, location, or story beat in a game

i know the general public dont really care about credits but is that really a reason not to have them? even the smash bros music player has the courtesy of displaying names

chalk it up to NSO deals always being unfinished/bad at first, or sakurai having OCD levels of detail in his games, but a song app that doesnt display composers is just bizarre

smash ult/3ds were genuinely the only music players in a game to do it right. cause yes i want the songs to play on loop and shuffle, make playlists, play them with the screen off, ect. not the perfect way to listen to music, but just enough for a kid like me to use on the go with my 3ds

that said with the excitement calming down, a nintendo music app is more of a novelty than full replacement. all the more stingy we have to wait for them to add songs, have it be available in our countries, keep a yearly subscription, ect

still waiting for it in my country, but ill definitely use it on occasion. i want to listen to nintendo music with other types of songs shuffled in, so youtube will still be my main option

as cool as it it to have a new app, still lame its locked behind paywall when putting them all on youtube was the option we hoped for

I swear if a fan finds a way to get upset someone is hacking their alarm clock

honestly? i think its a good deal. ignoring the construct that we expect mobile games to either be ftp or $2 this is a great value. far more than the $25 dlc NH got

ftps are packed with so much content cause its meant to be spread out with microtractions and subscriptions. i was jealous as a NH player seeing all the events and cool items PC got, and now i can practically have it all as a one time purchase spinoff game?

switch owners would totally eat this up. it may only be on phones but this game got the best case scenario ending. now if only it released in my COUNTRY

every mario party has its villain. and its lowkey fun when theres a mutual agreement to try and overthrow the menace player. may you all never encounter annalingus's wrath

i dont even think this was a stunt to get more advertising on it, just typical corporate talk to minimize "damage" so to speak

like telling people not to reupload their music. its gonna happen either way, but they'd rather have the excuse to take it down than expecting it to stop the problem

whats wild was the impression that he made the channel as a "break" away from game dev, but no he simply just worked on both at the same time. he's a mad man that's really good at his job

@Not_Soos i looked at the SMP wiki and they have a similar number of minigames between 4p/2v2/1v3 (im avoiding comparison with MPS since that games whole gimmick is being packed with past content), so if you didnt have an issue with repetitive minigames in SMP maybe it shouldnt be an issue here?

if anything im worried about kaboom squad and koopathon getting repetitive, those are the "faster" modes ive been playing more and the repeat minigames can get annoying

these are the kinda vids id watch for like 15mins straight in bed before i snap out of it and wonder why im watching it

i saw a bug on my wall can nintendo fix that too

i still find the concept of gamecube NSO very hard to believe. it just feels to generous for them to had us dozens of gamecube games, while i believe we're in the era where they can get away with selling a $60 remake of one game and a majority of people will bite (me buying the ttyd remake)

well now i wanna know what the "controversial" reactions were cause i dont remember that being a highlight from the NX announcement at all

@GarlicGuzzler i feel this. as someone who actually did buy and use the mario clock on dsi i set my alarm to the invincible star theme. years after i stopped using it i heard the theme again and felt a light sense of panic and a headache lol

the motion sensor to encourage getting up is interesting, but be wary of turning songs you enjoy into your everyday alarm

should i buy the season pass for this

i bet leakers saw this but were too scared tell everyone nintendo was making an alarm clock called alarmo, the fakest sounding thing ever

i dont need a $100 alarm clock but this is cute, i would 100% wiggle around in bed and get up if it meant a funny song played to my motions
