@nimnio I somehow think you a make a very valid argument yet I am zero excited for this new projekt I just can’t help it

@WaveBoy lmao my feelings exactly

@romanista I personally think it looks better beyond resolution (textures, details in environments, cars, lighting etc) but I also think although it looks better from a technical point of view it doesn’t necessarily have a better art direction and I do much prefer the gameplay in MK8

Glad to hear you just recently got a hold of MK8D! You are right about being somewhat apprehensive of what new features will be added/dropped with the next instalment… I heard some people say MK9 is already pretty much finished and Nintendo just recently changed their minds about postponing it to next gen seeing how MK8 is selling so well on Switch still 5 years later. I don’t know if it’s true but I can imagine how that makes a lot of sense from a business point of view and in the meantime I will probably give those new tracks a shot too

@Not_Soos I played it on PS4 pro and I think it looked a lot better beyond even just resolution but I agree Nintendo probably can’t do much more with current hardware and I don’t blame them altogether… I would rather a slightly underpowered Switch than a louder and heavier machine like the Steamdeck but hopefully next gen will be at least one Tflop

@Late I may be in the minority but I have been playing MK8 for so long I feel it’s visuals fairly dated compared to the competition (such as CTR) but then again waiting until next gen might help with the graphics and I also long for more single player content especially some sort of campaign. But I am sure there are loads of things other people would want out of a MK8 successor if anything I am shocked so many people are content playing the same game for so long (but then again lmao who had a Wii U?) I wish these new tracks came with new racers as well… anyways glad so many people are excited for these new tracks.

@HamatoYoshi Damn I Hope you are wrong but honestly if the next console is (hopefully) backwards compatible I don’t think we would see as many « re-releases » but then again who knows…

It looks okay… still bummed over the fact we probably won’t see a Mario 9 until next gen

It’s cute but I hope it’s not the only peach castle we’ll get…

I have never played anything Pokémon outside of a couple hours of Let’s Go Pikachu and Sword which I both disliked. The world, combat, everything felt so slow and boring to me. I like the direction they have taken with Arceus although I prefer a more modern setting so this new announcement had me excited to give the franchise another try.

@HenHiro I agree the graphics were underwhelming but I thought it looked a tad better than Arceus but maybe that’s just me?

@sanderev thanks for your explanation that makes a lot of sense.

@Nintendude78 @Preposterous I don’t know why they get refused but I thought it was LEGO rather than Nintendo I mean there are plenty of licensed Nintendo toys otherwise and even multiple Mario LEGO which seem pretty successful even if too gimmicky for my tastes… either way I do hope we get more Nintendo licensed LEGO sets whether through Ideas or LEGO designers I don’t care just give me more!!

I’m hoping McDonald will have some Mario toys too as the movie releases. Always good bang for the buck

Game looked dope but was it just me or the soundtrack was awful?

@Franz I would personally prefer Xenoblade 3 but then either one doesn’t rule out the other for future release

@anoyonmus well unless you know something I don’t there is no certainty it never will.

Oh sweet! Can you please do mass effect next?

@StarPoint funny you should say that… I would like the art style normally for any other video game but I find it really weird to have a Pokémon game set in any time period other than modern. I’m hoping the next mainline game evolves the mechanics introduced in Arceus and returns to a modern setting.

I mostly play first party games on switch anyways so any third party games are a bonus but not a requirement for my enjoyment of the system. I hope that 20% doesn’t take into account cloud versions of AAA games though lol

@HamatoYoshi interesting. I do have to say my excitement decreased over time too but I do think it’s in part my taste becoming more defined over time. Although I am nearly 40 I only started gaming in 2010 but still gaming changed a lot since then. I grew to despise games as a service among others. I gotta say although initially I feared good single player RPGs would be killed off by cheap mobile games and multiplayer games, that hasn’t happened at all and probably never will. If anything there are more options today than ever before! You can still find brand new releases of excellent quality 8 bit/16 bit games on the indie side, there are still top quality rpgs and single player games… on top of all those other mobile and multiplayer games. Essentially there are more gamers than ever before and more game diversity as well and I feel as though you can still find quality games catering to your own taste if you look for it

@HamatoYoshi why? I think in a way services like game pass is the most affordable way to play games ever given to gamers. And it’s available technically to all of us without purchasing a new device. I mean if you don’t have an Xbox console you may have a decent pc and if you don’t even have that you can stream it all… on your phone… I feel gamers have never had these many options but I would be curious to hear your take on it.

@aznable I got a 3DS earlier this year specifically to play OoT and MM I suspected Nintendo would do sloppy N64 ports after seeing how they handled Mario 3D all stars

I hope we do get TP and WW on Switch eventually :/

@larryisaman omg I wanna play mass effect legendary on Steam Deck so bad. I would have otherwise been happy with a switch port but I doubt that’ll ever happen. I don’t know how future proof it’ll be either but I’m hopeful it’ll be successful enough to receive more powerful future iterations

@larryisaman I feel the same. Really thinking about getting a steam deck whenever it finally releases

@NielsNL I never got into Pokémon but I am really curious about Arceus. I would looove a sequel to Mario Odyssey though but I am not too sure given some are already expecting the release date of BotW to be holidays 2022. I would totally buy them both day one though. Keeping an eye out for the reviews of Arceus.

Hoping for a direct soon

Can’t wait for the next direct!

It’s cool how they keep updating this game but all I want is for them to give us back the option to turn off auto save =P lost interest after they did that

Funny how the least disliked game is Link’s Awakening. It’s a near flawless game for its time but I don’t think it’s the ultimate best Zelda game maybe it’s just least polarizing.

@BoostPower even a 2D Zelda remake with classic art style would be sweet as long as it doesn’t look like the CDi games lolll

@Jiorl I would argue 1950s fridges have aged better visually lol

@BloodNinja sorry to hear that personally I am having a blast playing through all the Wii u ports as I never got a chance to play them before plus a few imho decent switch exclusives

@BloodNinja I gotta say I agree with you about not buying a new Nintendo console without backwards compatibility although I would probably still end up buying it for the exclusives… with the steam deck around the corner I feel as though I should stop buying 3rd party games on the switch anyway and just get the nicer looking/performing versions on PC which are cheaper anyway and forever backwards compatible. I have my fingers crossed though the Switch successor will at least play switch games as all their handhelds did (DS played GBA, 3DS played DS, I think GBA original models played GB games? Wii played GameCube and Wii U played Wii… it’s not stellar but it’s still encouraging)

@JoeDiddley I am still hoping to play Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD on Switch sometimes in the future but curious to try this one out in the meantime!

Very excited to play this! Sucks my Walmart pre order got delayed... But super excited to hear the new motion controls are an upgrade (never played this on Wii).

Well that's depressing :/

@sanderev emulation is not the same as piracy... I mean technically Mario Sunshine and Mario 64 are emulated. Granted the games are licensed by Nintendo but I have no problem if someone wants to use their own licenses of older games and run them on emulators on newer platforms... Although I agree most people probably dont and just pirate them. Personally the only games I would emulate are the SNES ones and I am very happy with the way nintendo handles them with Switch Online sub. (I love the save feature which is the main reason why I would otherwise use an emulator - because I suck at early mario games)

This game put a spell on my non gamer dad 😆. Very relaxing and fun game.

@Zuljaras same here. Dont care for the old cardboard online GBA boxes etc... But I do love a clean DS/3DS/Switch plastic case with cover art.

@BoFiS I want the same thing 1080p in same form factor/joy-cons however minus the drift .

@Medic_Alert my vote goes to minish cap. The diorama look of Link's Awakening would look awesome for the shrinking segments.

@arrmixer you're in for a treat!! ME2 is soooo good! And playing the trilogy as a whole really adds to the experience.

@TDRsuperstar2

I actually read that part as in ME Legendary Edition is potentially coming on the Switch pro lol

I sold the first game after realising there was no practice mode after elimination in party mode... I wish they would port Tetris Party from the Wii to the Switch. I dont care for campaign mode in a Tetris game I just want local coop modes.

@Clyde_Radcliffe I have tried Donkey Kong and although I will probably buy at some point the difficulty was a little steep for the kind of gamer I am... I also like the visual simplicity of NSMBUD where it's easier to see what is going on vs the amazing but crowded screen on DKTF. I liked Rayman Legends better than DK though because I felt it was just as pretty if not more and more accessible.

Just grabbed NSMBUD recently and I do understand a lot of people complain it doesnt do enough new things... But I love it and I think its the most polished 2D Mario game ever and my favorite. Replaying the older ones on NSO has been interesting but for a newcomer like me who doesnt have tons of nostalgia I think this newer game is perfect.

Yay more Age of Calamity coverage!! ( I wish I cared for Pikmin 3 but I am so disappointed it's another port instead of a proper sequel or even a half baked remaster, damn it looks dated conpared to other Nintendo 1st party titles )

@willmasse Same. Can't find any pre orders anywhere.
