(Insert joke about not putting all your eggs in one basket)

I didn’t expect anything less from one of the big publishers like Konami. Any chance to cut costs by charging full price and passing the extra costs on to consumers while offering a worse experience is exactly what I expect from them.

I support the workers and the unions, however a strike with an expiration date doesn’t seem like an effective strategy.

I love it when culture disappears!

Can’t wait for them to actually release this game on cartridge. Until then, it’s vaporware to me.

@N00BiSH VB games play perfectly fine in 2D. Next flimsy justification please.

If Nintendo can release a 2DS with no reduction in the experience, then there’s no excuse for why we need an adapter to play VB games.

As long as it’s not a Game Key Card, I’m in.

@weisske Cardboard tech has come a long way in the years since Labo. You can’t expect last generation cardboard to play the new generation release of even older generation software.

“We’re sorry the expensive piece of cardboard we sold you arbitrarily won’t work. Please purchase our new expensive piece of cardboard to continue enjoying our 30 year old software.”

@MocawNow Unfortunately, unlike most other gambling, we’re all affected by the results of someone else gambling.

@kal_el_07241 Mario Tennis and Mario Kart aren’t Mario games; they’re games featuring Mario. The games colloquially described as Mario games are platformers starring Mario.
Edit: Strangely I cannot delete this comment, only edit it. I didn’t see your latest reply until after I posted this.

This drop, and all the other gaming stock drops, were due to Google demoing ai-game creation. Apparently all the AI bro investors have no actual clue what gamers actually want.

I don’t care if it’s Xenoblade or something else; give me more KOS-MOS.

Seems like it would make a great $20 standalone title for kids and adults who enjoy multiplayer, but a poor upgrade for an existing title you already had to pay full price for, and doesn’t really offer much, if anything at all, for the single player experience.
I think I was right to pass on this one.

@NintendoWife
GameCube is a thing on NSO.

As I’ve stated previously, I won’t buy Metroid Prime 4 until Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are available on the Switch.

There are some really professional looking designs in there, some that are too over designed for a Mega Man game, and some that look like they belong in a different Mega Man franchise, such as X, Battle Network, or Zero.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that Metroid Primes 2 and 3 aren’t on NSO yet.

Wouldn’t want to accidentally see a tit on my Super H*ntai S*x Puzzle console.

I hate when proclaimed collections don’t contain everything. I usually refuse to buy them when they’re missing titles.

Like the Grandia collection having only two games out of 5 (excluding defunct mmo). Thats my favorite series, and yet I refuse to buy it because its missing more than half the games.

It’s truly amazing what technology can accomplish these days.

@Yydeckard I disagree with the logic here. The stereoscopic 3D was a gimmick but is completely unnecessary in practice, but the Virtual Boy itself was a console. It would be like forcing people to buy a GameBoy shell to play GB games on NSO. Completely unnecessary, even if it would be a cool thing to have.
They should let people play the games without an accessory, and make the cool accessory optional.

So long as there is requirement to use a peripheral to play these games, I will never play this games on NSO.

@Polvasti For some people this may be a boon rather than a bane. For me personally, I find the mouse mode often causes more problems for me because of the way I hold my Joycons. It keeps activating while I’m on menus and stuff and stealing the focus away from the normal controls.

These look pretty good. Love the larger size and slight ergo design. Love the larger joysticks and the promised features and functionality. I’ll have to wait for actual reviews since my experience with and view on 3rd party controllers is stuck in the 90s, but I might buy a pair of these.

I actually kinda want a pair for the Steam Deck (and future Steam Machine), so I’ll need to look into whether this will work with that.

Toriyama, and subsequently the current IP owners, seem(ed) determined to never make Pan matter as a character.

Do we really need a direct for a movie? Just release the full trailer and let it do its work until the movie releases. The more they reveal, the more they spoil. I want there to be surprises in the movie.

I’m happy it exists and for the content they did add, but it’s content I will 100% not play so there’s absolutely no reason for me to buy it as a singleplayer player.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup at Bellabel Park Nintendo Selects Game of the Year HD Remastered Anniversary Edition with new Funky Mode x Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series & Knuckles - Legal Prose Edition

The instruction book we lost just gets printed on the front of the box now.

Or perhaps we go with the isekai naming trend and call it “That Time Super Mario and Luigi, Along With Friends, Set Out On a Journey to Defeat Bowser Who Has Returned Again to Cause Trouble and Steals a Power That Doesn’t Belong to Him Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.”

Waluigi time!

My entire opinion about her so far can be summed up as just “k.”
Time will tell whether she’s good or bad.

They should release a Sonic game where you play as the London Police and run around raiding preservation businesses and collecting legally purchased development kits instead of rings.

I like the figures as cool little Nintendo trinkets, but felt like the NFC part was largely superfluous and not worth buying them for. For a neat little $12 Nintendo statue they were a good value, for $30+ they are a ripoff.
Actual unlock implementation felt tacked on as an afterthought in almost every case. I just kinda stopped buying them. I’ve considered selling off my small collection but a part of me keeps thinking “these are neat little things to just have to display.”

I think the best implementation of them was the costume power up for Super Mario Maker 1, and I’m sad that was never carried forward into 2.

Honestly, I think they should unlock that specific costume for the main character in whatever game they’re compatible with. Like running around dressed as Twilight Princess Link in Metroid Prime 4 (don’t get too lost in trying to figure out how this would work, it’s just a fun little idea I put almost no thought into).

Everyone is still suffering today from EA’s mess ups decades ago. So I don’t want to hear crocodile tears about how mean consumers are to a multibillion dollar corporation that’s too wealthy to be affected.

@nukatha Nintendo sales be like “$1 Off!!!!!”

I would rather there NOT be a Pokemon game this year if it means giving the team an extra year to polish it.

I hope this downward stock trend translates to good stuff for consumers, kind of like when the 3DS and Wii U were struggling. We got a lot of good stuff then as Nintendo tried to woo new players. I know the situations are different, but looking at it from a consumer-centric perspective, does that matter?

Going to have to see what additional bonuses they offer for single player before I even consider this. I like that they’re adding more multiplayer stuff, but sadly none of it would apply to me.

@Mando44646 without getting into politics, the situation is unlikely to be resolved by replacing the president no matter which side is in charge. The current economic crisis isn’t one of left or right, but of rich and poor.

For all its deficiencies, PLZA is still the best Pokemon game in my opinion. It’s just so much fun to play, and I struggle to go back to the traditional play style of the franchise whenever I need to check back in with SwSh or SV (on Switch 2).

It does have flaws and areas it can improve, but I don’t feel like they significantly detracted from the fun I had playing.

@0_Cassiel_0 People (myself included) generally look for confirmation bias. NL could publish two entirely contradictory articles at the same time about how absolute amazing the Switch 2 is doing and how terrible the Switch 2 is doing, and the comment sections of both would be full of people going “I knew it!”

@IronMan30 I totally agree this feels like the 3DS launch again.

Backwards compatibility with Switch 1 games is the only reason the Switch 2 sold as well as it did. 95% of the games I’ve played on the Switch 2 have been Switch 1 games with Switch 2 enhancement patches.
But while that’s good for sales, it’s not great for identity which sees the Switch 2 as more or less a Switch 1 Pro rather than a successor.
And that’s before you even start accounting for stuff like price increases, microSD Express, and game key cards.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my Switch 2. I just want to love it more and I haven’t been getting good reasons to.

You son of a bench, I’m in.

@VeganH contests like these are usually meant for children. Not everything needs to be a transaction for a child.

I remember there being a contest like this when I was a kid. It was so dang cool that they’d let someone design a robot master for an actual Mega Man game! I used to love drawing them, but I never actually submitted any. It’s so awesome that they did this again.

There’s some juicy stuff casually dropped in that screenshot.

Such a shame that there are a few games on that list that I’d like to buy, but won’t because I refuse to support the storage costs being passed on to me just so executives can take home million dollar bonuses.

The eshop experience turned me off from the eshop. I only ever use it to grab DLC these days; and that’s usually directly through whatever in-game navigation link is included to purchase said DLC.

They need to redesign the Switch 2 cover art template. Maybe put all that legally required notice stuff on a slip cover, so when removed it’s just the full case artwork and maybe title logo.
