I really liked cologne but struggled to find healthy food while I was there.

Maybe it’s because I was looking in the wrong places during Christmas market times but the regular options just included meat, pastries and deserts everywhere I saw. That’s very nice in itself but by the time I left I needed something else.

No way is MKW better than DK in my eyes.

Is good to see the Acclaim logo back again!

@michellelynn0976 while I agree I’m not sure the PS6 gen will do as badly if the rumoured handheld comes to fruition.

Sony would do well to go handheld for the Japanese market especially so could see it beating the ps5 quite easily.

@LastFootnote agree completely with your comment. DK > Odyssey.

Loved it but some of the boss battles did drive me slightly insane!

I have less patience now than ever so some difficulty modes would be nice. For me anyway!

Love these remakes and it’s just reminded me I need to get back to finishing rebirth at some point!

It makes sense as it is but man I was pressing the b button to jump for soooo long!

The booth looks good. Wish I was there!

Also yes Nintendo can we have Prime 4 in October please?!

Oh wave race how I miss you…

Would much rather have Forza on switch 2 please Microsoft

I mean it was good but I’m still surprised this is coming so close to Mario Kart seeing as they’re so similar. Seems an odd choice but happy for those that want it.

I was really looking forward to this on ps5 but unfortunately it gave me bad nausea for some reason so had to give it up. Shame as it was quite decent.

I wonder if I’ll feel sick playing it on switch 2 handheld mode though!

Just saw it on gamescom live, looks sweet and confirmed for this year!

Good to see DK in 3rd, deserves to sell lots more!

I’d love to see them make more of this type of game or even a sequel.

Don’t think I’d double dip but could be interested in an upgrade.

With this and MK I do find it a bit weird Nintendo have gone so hard on racers this early into the S2’s life.

Glad DK exists but would prefer something a bit more different.

I really hope we still get Prime 4 this year otherwise I won’t have any first party holiday release I’ll likely be interested in on my new S2…

Everyone who voted Japan is correct 😂

Never played the original despite being a massive Nintendo gamer in those days.

Hope I like the look of this but for whatever reason can’t be excited about this right now.

Hope the gameplay changes my mind!

@judaspete true, even more reason why they should chill out!

@Fighting_Game_Loser I reckon you can read my mind and the future!

I for one have held back on mafia after the lukewarm reviews. Can defo see it dropping quick anyway.

Good to see DK hang in the top 5. It deserves to stay there for a long time in my opinion!

@rjejr true and good points!

Maybe we need more stock price articles on gaming sites so we can work out how this all works! 🤣

@rjejr yes unless Nintendo had a stock split in that time which means they could have been above market value.

I don’t know if they did, just sayin

The comparison vs capcom etc is interesting but not comparable seeing as they all have different share totals.

Capcom have about 418m vs Nintendo’s 4.66b for example.

DK deserves to sell more than this!

I’m already sold!

Upgrade for me. I’ve had the OG game for ages but not got round to playing it yet so the upgrade will be the perfect time for me to dust it off!

Great lineup. Really hope we get the Prime 4 release date at gamescom!

I would like to see Nintendo hand wave race development to shi’nen and for a shadow drop tomorrow 😅

Glad I never got round to this on S1 despite it sitting on my shelf for months. Will defo jump in on switch 2 though!

Cowabunga count me in!

@Morph yes that’s what I thought, it could well have had something to do with it.

@Suketoudara yes true I was very disappointed with the 3DS version.

It can be hard to go back to some of those games. I have to retrain my brain all over again to be any good at them!

@Rodolfo6493 I think he may have been referring to the 3DS version which was more like a tech demo compared to the previous entries which had more than one area to fly around.

Anyway I’d love a proper new release with the original characters… Wave race and pushmo too!

@Ooccoo_Jr agree key cards are definitely better that way. I guess the reason people don’t like it is they’re going to the trouble of making a physical case then why not just add the cart? Not sure.

Completed it mate

This looks very badly optimised for switch being a 2D sprite based game. I mean if MP4 can run at 120fps there seems little excuses here.

If it gets a S2 update I may be interested as the game does otherwise look really good.

Yeah think I’ll pick this up. Looks decent enough.

Loved the look of this except for the fairies voice which was annoying even in the short time I was watching. Hope there’s an option to mute it or they lessen the amount of voice prompts etc.

Yep just donkey kong again for me, the most fun i've had with a game in ages!

Haven’t been into a fighter since street fighter 2 blew me away all those years ago, but I’d be all over that virtua fighter 6 concept we saw 6 months ago it looked incredible!

@Ulysses I see thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. Looks like there’s a definite draw back to the express cards I wasn’t aware of.

Remember the good old days when consoles used to get cheaper over time? I remember buying a brand new PS2 for £100!

@Ulysses I didn’t realise the tech wasn’t there to support less than 64Gb on express sd’s? Usually capacities start low and the difficulty is then the manufacturer scaling up. How come this is the same but in reverse?

I thought the issue was just Nintendo not wanting to support lower capacities!

For those talking about smash didn’t sakurai himself say he wouldn’t make another smash once ultimate was finished? Or did I imagine that?

Sad times for my new switch 2 as when I can get games on other platforms fully on disc that’s what I’ll do over the game key card.

My ps5 may inadvertently benefit from this decision by Nintendo and I bet they didn’t intend for that to happen!

I feel Nintendo didn’t read the room at all. .

I’d convinced myself we’d see the likes of Elden Ring, FF7 remake, RDR2 etc so that’s why I feel deflated, though in reality there was some decent stuff shown.

Have a feeling we may see Xbox’s intentions at gamescon or at least hope we do. Then with a main direct for first party releases maybe in September, things hopefully will be looking a bit better in a few months.

Wow is that the worst poll results for a direct so far? Don’t remember any being worse…?
