@nimnio funny how the switch oled ended up being that $350 upgrade haha, but it does have my mind racing on what a NEW switch would be exactly. i feel theres a line between people expecting a minor hardware boost like 3ds to new 3ds, or a pure jump to next gen console like ps4 to ps5. id hope for the latter just for the sake of a better switch UI alone

@HalBailman thats true, the switch is a much more subtle yet impactful gimmick they can carry on to a sequel. it'll be quite a bold step, nintendo rarely makes a powerful console with no new gimmicks just for the sake of it. consoles like SNES and gamecube didnt sell that much better than their previous gen counterparts when all they could offer was being a simply more powerful version

that could be an apples vs oranges comparison tho, i just find it interesting. i can easily see the pendulum swinging to the other side and people wishing the switch took a more bold direction, arguing a switch pro only appeals to hardcore fans that want better framerate and more 3rd parties games to come to it natively

that said i desperately want them to continue the console/handheld hybrid, i play my switch 95% of the time portable

makes me wonder where nintendo will go for their next console. as obvious as the switch 2 sounds their last attempt at a console sequel massively bombed

theyre always preaching innovation so i honestly dont know if they'll play it safe with a simply more powerful switch or not

lets not be to hasty with dismissal, minecraft was once considered the "cringy" new game for kids and we're just in another generation of that with fortnite. im not into either games and people need to stop having a high horse on thinking their too cool and good for it

nintendo is both strict and odd with who they chose to collab with. rabbids, starlink, skylanders? i didnt see much annoyance towards those. nintendos late to everything, give them time and we'll reach a point where a crossovers inevitable. fortnite being a ftp game could be one push back tho, thats one market theyre very careful in

i still really love the concept of spirits, they were a clever way to mix in trophies, stickers, equipment, events, and a story mode all into one. my only wish was they came with descriptions, or had a zoom feature since those pngs can be pretty detailed

ive collected and max leveled all the spirit so spirit events never interested me, i might hop back in to keep collecting. im even a weirdo that likes to tinker with equipment to personalize my mii fighters just for the fun of it

man i was looking forward to having a better undercover kit but the fact it physically hurts to deal with the special just baffles me how it got through testing

the pricing and quantity of games changes throughout regions, but its valued at roughly $2 a month in the philippines. id be more than happy with this service being more portable

god forbid paratroopas do anything

@1day this is the only important comment to come out of the wokemon discussion

for a kids property if they can nail exploring their cartoon world, thats the most i could ask for a game like this. thats certainty what i wanted playing ed edd n eddy the mis ed-vetures lol

this looks like a solid kids game, but not the kind adults can enjoy like the show. i like bluey and it has its moments but ive watched more clips than eps

"make your own fun" is such a double edged sword in this case, i found AC multiplayer underwhelming since all the minigames were cut. and in general we were expected to make our own fun with island decorating despite all the previous content they removed

im not familiar with sims but i can easily see EA take the approach of less content but "imagine the possibilities! do anything you want!"

its weird to think about how different the handheld and console games are structured. they both have story-structured microgames, but handhelds focus on solo content and collectables while consoles focus on local multiplayer party modes

besides Snapped, all of these are bangers for their respective system, i just wish the newer games had more to do for solo players. GiT is arguably the best solo console experience and Move It the best party multiplayer one, i just wish they'd program some CPUs so the modes were more accessible

i played so much TS3 with my brother growing up, but looking back on the game its even better than i remember. amazing campaign, tons of content and characters, indepth map maker. its as if a live service game had all its content unlockable with one purchase, which is a sad comparison nowadays

i think this is the most fun warioware by far with the multiplayer being a blast if you have people to play with, but without multiplayer youre literally missing out on half the content. missed opportunity not bringing back coins and buying "souvenirs" for the resort theme, or even more solo modes. that made replaying the game a lot more rewarding than just going for highscores

i probably prefer GiT more just for giving me more to do as a solo player, and it has more competitive edge too with precise button controls, leaderboards, and character viability which makes it fun to replay.

but both are fantastic games that capture diff roles, and i think thats a best case scenario for both games so one doesnt simply replace the other. i just wish they'd program some CPUs to play against, i can rarely gather people for local multiplayer nowadays lol

kinda cool theyre going a diff direction from the mario movie, grabbing a different audience with a different property. as much as i wish it was animated, with miyamoto involved ill trust it'll be close enough to his vision and be a fine movie

i get theres a pride in being a nintendo fan, but i recently got xboxgame pass and its been such an amazing value? i feel a lot of these upset comments dont actually know what theyre upset about. "omg microsoft is supporting nintendo what if their games come over" the horror. theres no way to take the console wars mindset seriously anymore

As polarizing as this game is, I still think it's a genuinely great game that suffers from issues that were easily fixable and aren't even the gameplays fault. We couldve gotten more boards, fixed the SLOW ui, make any controller usable, ect

Now that we have superstars I'd love for them revisit SMP's weirder ideas. Partner Party's is nonlinear board exploration is so fun, and I like how unique each character is with their own dice

i dont think their games will truly compete again. but if their mindset is to be on the same league as mario, their quality might actually improve if they can even mimic half of what makes a mario game good

@Croctopus agreed! as someone who grew up with the handheld WWs, multiplayer was never a spotlight for me. GiT may not be a console showcase, but its still an creative idea thats pushed to its near limit. and as a solo player its arguably the most competitive and strategic of the whole series, with precise button controls and character viability

i have friends that specifically dont play WW cause of its motion controls, and not everyone can do these forms for one reason or another. so its cool that GiT and Move It cover both sides of the spectrum of what people want out of a WW game

shame about the solo play being another weak point, but i suppose thats the case with any party game. and as much as i want leaderboard challenges again those really only made sense in a GiT environment

i loved GiT all the same, cant wait to play something even more hectic and lively with move it

@EarthboundBenjy darn i forgot i suppressed that game

ill be dead and buried before im convinced a warioware game can be bad

seems like it'll be fun. i am a little sad with the loss of wario cup since i wont have people to play multiplayer with, but this is still gonna be a blast

the sign sure was

that switch sports console bundle feels just right, but man. i love playing the core sports but what a half step game

honestly smart decision for the team to focus on releasing the game in chapters, rather than quietly work on the game for like a decade. for some reason it doesnt annoy me when toby does it lol

helps that the beginning chapters were free, and pretty meaty for what they are. keeps interest up and ill gladly pay for the remaining chapters

i can tell theyre trying to do something diff, which i think sounds fine. im just in a weird transitional period where im just used to how he sounded before. and comparing both i also agree the new voice puts more emphasis on the gruffness rather than the actual voice?

i literally cant imagine how they can top ult unless they just rerelease some deluxe version, but i always respected how he puts his best foot forward directing games. always delivering as if its the last game in the series

in a sea on multiplayer games drowned in battles passes and "free updates", its refreshing that sakurai proves games can be packed experiences at launch and still be massive successes. this game had dlc but i dont think anyone would argue it didnt have enough content at launch

cant overstate how excited i am for this, especially with how bleak those TOK interviews were insisting the traditional style would never comeback

TOK was already great with its world and characters, but with TTYD amazing character designs and battle system, future entries may possibly have the best of both worlds?

given the ease of access pretty much all their games have, i would love to seem them make a competent account system for once

never heard of this thing before, but i do like how the control sticks cave in to the system. thats a cool way to keep sticks while also letting the system close

man these omniman callbacks are exactly what they should be. great stuff

Smart person, who knows how expensive they'll be once the nostalgia wave kicks in and it's hard to find these. Cool he got one new too

ill be impressed any moment nintendo takes the time to render a faces just a liiiil bit diff, rather than the stockphoto face they all do. plus the new one fits the perspective better

this is already looking like a better game. fzero 99 showed how being directly involved and disrupting the players adds to the hectic fun compared to pacman 99

man i forget how expensive lego can be, these are pretty small and condensed sets. i love AC but im just not in the market to display these or play with them from my imagination

NintendoAmerica babyyyy

not the take i was expecting to hear but i hope it somehow domino effects into a new game release

pokemon games are good fun for everyone, but ive never seen an entry so blatantly labeled as "fun for kids"

with how much nintendo is trying to bury the 3ds/ wii u library and kill off their last free online service, modding is just fair game at this point

@martynstuff he was laid off his job but now gets to live his dream as a nintendo youtuber, sharing his love and game collection with the world. he's popular, happy, and doesnt have any scandals

sad to see an era truly come to a close, this was the first one i got to experience from a full beginning to end

at this point there was no proper way to end it, just rip it off like a bandaid and let to wound heal. but if riiconnected24 and pretendo network means anything, its that anyone who truly still wants to play their 3ds/wii u online, eventually will

I couldn't even convince my family to play GiT with me, let alone something like move it. Im gonna have a blast with this but I hope the solo player content is meaty enough, cause from the looks of it there arent online leaderboard challenges anymore

so excited i am for this. i never got a chance to play smooth moves, and just the fact warioware returned on switch AGAIN as a proper joycon showcase makes me happy

plus, since Gold theyve done a great job letting the character's personalities shine and interact with each other. its a fun game with a fun cast

and i agree we need better unlockables and minigames, GiT had fun modes but only if you had people to play with

i know he's been a polarizing figure since the "stale" mario days, but from what i can tell he's been pretty hands off with most projects nowadays. mario odyssey is already an example of how he oversee a project, but have the directors have the actual final say

even sticker star, his most infamously influenced game wanting less story and unique characters, has awful game mechanics miyamoto wasnt involved in, and even found boring. i dont think his feedback alone makes a game better or worse, just directors and teams that dont have a proper vision of the game

oh my god an animation studio with a green screen? thats such a fandom tool perfect for memes and fanfics i cant believe its an actual game mode. they know the fans too well lol

neat event, but man nintendo will promote this game in any way except new content lol. the fact they still dont want us to forget about this game at least gives me hope they have something planned for the franchise sooner than later

they finally did it, mario kart 8 deluxe DELUXE

i respect a lot of sakurais game philosophy, nearly all of them go by the easy to play hard to master principle. games like smash and kid icarus show you dont have to sacrifice content or quality to offer something accessible yet rewarding

i love dark moon but ive had my fill on 3ds. on a personal note i wish they kept the "dark moon" subtitle cause it sounds cooler, but the number does make more sense since that kinda naming implies it doesnt change up the formula that much

this game is such a monkey's paw good game. ive had zero interest in the series but the online 99 format makes it so much more fun to replay
