To everybody generalizing "Nintendo fans": you mean "Pokemon fans." Not all of us Nintendo fans enjoy Pokemon and are actually critical of Game Freak's practices as of late.

Weekends are practically my only gaming time these days, juggling work and family time. Planning to continue playing Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (first time playing these gems), in between rounds of Darkest Dungeon II.

After Bowser, I half-expected the next president to be Toadstool.

It probably had something to do with him not minding for two decades, then suddenly acting all concerned now.

@TopazLink I was also wondering the same thing with the Korok. That's almost definitely Hestu.

Big Super Mario fan since the first game, but never got to play the games at release and was on the fence with Super Mario 3D All-Stars until it disappeared from store shelves, so this is a worthy purchase, price be damned. My two children and I cheered when they revealed this on the Direct, and I'm glad I'll get to experience it with them for the first time.

I'm just happy I can finally play Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival with my TaTaCon again.

Sucks that Japan no longer accepts my payment options though, as my copy is Asian and needs to get the Japanese Music Pass. Oh well.

Still waiting for Chopper Attack and War Gods to be added to the N64 line-up. A man can dream.

Was that... Chrono Trigger's Robo fighting alongside the other heroes in Magical Vacation?

"The name's 7. 47."

"I prefer my targets shaken AND stirred."

Hard Man.

Enough said.

I'm guessing it'll be a detailed Kanto world map.

And not a Discworld reference in sight. Quite odd.

Just in time. I've been looking for a Switch city-builder that would entice me enough to purchase for quite some time now. Looks like this is it.

You can complain all you want, but you're still buying their products.

Don't like how they conduct their business? Grow a spine and do a complete boycott. Nintendo is not an essential business, so you'll be fine.

Does it run smoothly now, or will that not be until the Switch 2?

Nearing the end of Super Mario 3D World, so I'll soon be moving on to Bowser's Fury soon. In between rounds of that, I've been playing Dredge: Complete Edition, which I just recently got.

Great set of games, each one a palate cleanser for the other.

I'm liking the redesign. THIS is Donkey Kong now.

@Zufolobelisk Whoosh.

Sonic in Mario Kart World confirmed.

The new open-world feature was never going to please everybody. I for one am excited to drive through the world they created.

Sakura, Makoto, Eleven, and Cody. Oh, and Dudley.

A man can dream, eh?

Do they even have a case, though? Voices can easily be copied by talented voice actors even without AI use. Can a certain voice tone even be copyrighted?

I might be the only one, but I hope it can be played in third-person view.

It looks good enough to market on its own, but it had to go all "Mario-inspired" despite it looking almost nothing like a Mario game.

Maybe we can celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series by releasing a game that allows the use of ALL the monsters?

A guy can dream.

A little late to the party, but thanks to the goading of my children I finally got a physical copy of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. An excellent pair of games, and a great way to wash away the grit and grime after playing several rounds of Guilty Gear Strive (learning the intricacies of Elphelt, A.B.A, and Queen Dizzy).

I don't know. Couldn't those same publishers just go fully digital in that case?

I was hoping Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be in the list, but upgrades to SM3W+BF are welcome too.

I've never bought a Nintendo console worrying about the framerate. As long as the game's not game-breakingly stuttery it's fine.

It's usually first-party games that I get physical copies of anyway, so this is fine.

Ensuring that you drift in style.

They'll start by remaking FF7 around twelve more times, while ignoring the other numbered games in the series.

I enjoy some Hayter in my games, but sorry, I play Yakuza games in Japanese the same way that I play Prince of Persia in Persian. Immersion.

If Wilds isn't released on the Switch 2 I'm going to punch a Khezu in the mouth.

This is amazing. It makes me want to get a Switch 2 all the more. Maybe even go back to playing Switch Borderlands!

I agree. Wart would make an excellent Bowser rival.

I've been into open-world games lately, so I've been juggling Sniper Elite 4 and Red Dead Redemption along with some quick bursts of Android Balatro and Wildfrost on the side.

Or... hear me out...

... don't buy tasteless slop.

As Marcus Aurelius once said, "Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life."

It should have the option to hide certain developers or publishers, or a similar filtering option. Take a page from Deku Deals' playbook, Nintendo.

They walk backwards when moving north. The little things matter too.

I open it every day mainly to see the day's short calendar animation. The occasional news and other things are just extra, but still appreciated.

EA: The Game is Not in.

It's lubricated by the collected tears of stick drift victims.

I never experienced problems with the weapons breaking in both BOTW and TOTK, though I always wished they'd at least let Link use his fists once he runs out of weapons.

I'm good with Double Dribble.

With their muscles trained for these exact movements, I wouldn't be surprised to see players who actually use wheelchairs excelling in this game... which may have been one of Nintendo's plan with this one.

Even with my history of weight training and Ring Fit Adventure, I don't think my wrists and arms would last a round of this.

They'll drift, but feel good while doing it.

No FOMO, no scalpers.

We gamers fed these monsters. Starving them is the only way to truly get rid of them.

I've known enough gamers in my lifetime to know that's never going to happen though.
