@chapu2006 To be fair, we're both correct! Let's call it a tie while we wait patiently for the new courses to come out!

Do you think Holiday means late November-ish?

There is absolutely no possible way that joy-cons hold up to the original Mario Party games!

We've been recently playing Pokemon Snap so I've been using the N64 feature of my NSO account. I've been saying for years that GoldenEye hasn't aged well.....but I've always wanted to play it with my sons anyways. Now I'll have the opportunity. Pilot Wings and 1080 were some of my favs so it'll be cool to revisit them too until my year runs out.

Seems like a silly reason to refuse to see a patient, but at the same time, he's a huge scumbag. Doctors at private practices do have the right to not see a patient. Now typically this means a "difficult" one, not someone who cheats on a video game. This one is a tough one. I think he's a slimy person that I wouldn't personally trust but at the same time is it really a big enough reason to refuse to see him for an annual checkup?

This is a series of games that I have never jumped in to. However, I was recently kind of wishing for them to come to the Switch so that I could give them a go. I'm really hoping this rumor is true.

Seeing his process was really cool; and if this helps someone with a disability enjoy video games more, then I'm all for it!

What a terrible name. I don't even understand how that made it out of a casual business meeting. I guess it was destined to fail.

IMO, the 8bitdo controllers are top class.

I fully completed DKCR:TF. I almost 100%ed 3D World. I played Mario Maker 2 but mostly the player created levels. I'm nowhere close on Enter the Gungeon....still fun to pick-up and play. I own Celeste but never played it.

@Toshiro_Baloney I would have thought he was better known for It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

....and I totally forgot about this! This is why I'm not certain I'm buying the new game at launch. I think I've lost interest in the series a bit.

Ha ha ha, good for Nintendo!!!!! Sony's problems should only sell more Nintendo systems and games.

Aren't these same games on sale like every other week?

I must be part of the minority on this one. I keep going back and forth on whether to buy, skip, or wait. I bought my Switch for Splatoon 2. This time, I'm not sure I'm prepared to shell out another $60 to purchase the newest game in the series. It really feels like more of the same. The hub looks different but it's still basically the same exact thing. The characters are different but are still basically the same. I'm looking forward to new maps, but couldn't they just gave us those in the form of DLC? Same with new weapons? I don't know. I'm not asking for something completely different or major changes....I just feel like I'm getting ready to buy the most expensive DLC I've ever purchased and I don't really play #2 anymore so is it worth it?

That's where I'm at.

I am excited for three team matches. That sounds like a blast.

I'm very excited to see his next project. As much as I love Smash, I'm hoping he's able to step away from the series and work on something different.

It's almost worth it just to play Desert Strike again.

Ha ha ha, that's okay. Most of us fans didn't know it was related to the game either!!!!

Rusty's is an amazing little game package. I don't own them all but I haven't touched my 3DS in over a year. I wish the next iteration would come to the Switch.

Yes Please!!!! If I were Nintendo, I would look at this as a slam dunk.

Looks fantastic! It's got my attention.

I loved this on the N64. The water effects were pure class back then. They followed this with the much improved sequel on the Cube. Personally, like most games from this generation, I prefer the newer versions. I would play the Cube game.....I'll give this one a play but I probably won't play if for long. These games haven't aged well.

I played the original Metroid on the NES as a kid, but I never stuck with it. I think it was a matter of me being a young kid and having absolutely no clue what I was supposed to do or where to go.

I then skipped the SNES for the Genesis so I totally missed Super Metroid.

I would consider my first real introduction to be Metroid Prime. I was instantly hooked. The Prime games are all awesome! I've since gone back and played the originals.

I have no desire for this one but thumbs-up to those who do! Good luck hunting everyone!

First Bioshock is a classic! Probably in my top 20 for sure....maybe top 10.

Second Bioshock is good, but too close to the first with less of the feeling you get playing through the first game for the first time.

Third Bioshock is great but I prefer the "under the ocean" setting over the "floating city".

If you've never played them, at this price there's no better time. I strongly recommend.

I purchased our Switch systems in order to play Splatoon 2. That game was the first game I owned, and we bought 3 copies so that my sons and I can play together. So I love the series. That being said, 3 doesn't look like it's delivering anything "NEW". It looks great, I'll most likely buy it, I'm just not as pumped as I was for the first two.

Everything else that was announced was basically in the other two games. This though, is something fresh; and I really want to play it.

I want all three.

I liked the Squid Sisters, but these are cool too.

More importantly, who's judging on the new game. Did they show that? First we had Judd, then Li'l Judd; .....baby Judd?

I'm loving this game but I've yet to spend any money. I'm happy just earning the free items at the moment.

I went to play these tracks last night only to find out that my youngest son took our family's copy on vacation with him. I guess I'll be waiting until Sunday to give them a try.

We complain about full price games and we complain about free to play games....can game developers even win?

Wake me up when the crew responsible for the wonderful N64 WCW games develops a modern wrestling game for the Switch.

@delt75 I too own both the NES and SNES classics; but unlike you, I neither preordered nor purchased on day 1. I picked them both up once the initial craze went down. I bought them at two different local stores. So perhaps it depends on the area you live in. In my experience, all of them were hyped soooooo much that they initially flew off the shelves, but if you were patient, you could find them all eventually. The one exception would be the TG16 one. That one I never saw in person. This was also my experience with both the Mario & Zelda Game & Watch systems. At first I never saw them, they flew off shelves as quickly as they were stocked. But eventually, they showed up.

Aren't these "classic" systems all released in limited supplies? Typically they don't provide the shortage excuse though.

I feel this is all part of the marketing strategy. Make people that are kind of interested feel that they NEED to buy this when they see it at their local store because if they don't they won't find it again.

IMO Mario Kart 8 was the best game on the Wii U and it's one of the best games on the Switch. I would be excited if Nintendo announced that 9 is coming, but I've still been playing 8 before the track expansion, and I'm really enjoying the track wave 1.

I like that the Mobile game tracks are included too. So far, the variety of the tracks released is really good. I hope they keep up with this trend with a mix of new, old, mobile, handheld tracks.

It's not going to happen, but I would love for a new wave of Amiibo costumes to be released on Kart.

I'm surprised the UK's government is okay with Pokemon cards being sold to kids!

Maybe they should demand that the contents of each pack be known to the buyer before purchasing!!!!! Ha ha ha.

I own both in board game form. I also own the Pandemic game on my Switch. It was nice being able to just jump on my Switch and play it without setup and cleanup; but to be honest the reason I stopped playing it was because it's hard to read the text on screen and it's clunky to play. I prefer the board games I guess.

Either way, I feel this is a bit of a rip off to Catan owners. They should be refunded.

I highly doubt I'll play this; but great for others who are interested. The visual style reminds me of the Disneyland game on the 360 that used the camera.

I bought into the hype of the first one and finally picked it up for the 3DS.....I didn't care for it. It felt like work. I think I made it 60-70% into it before I quit and walked away.

I doubt I'll play this but for all you fellow Nintendo fans who are into this; I'm very happy for you all!!!!

I have both. I have probably 65% opened to 35% boxed. There no reason to which ones I opened or kept boxed.

I wouldn't be surprised; but to be fair, it's not official, it's speculation.

Powerhouse Zelda and Mario Odyssey followed by the perfectly luckily timed Animal Crossing/Pandemic are huge points, the intro of the Switch was powerful too; but for me, it's a negative, and that negative is the dreaded drift. Sorry! It's plagued 3 of our Switch systems in my house.

I've never been a fan of the Crash series, and this is waaaay too expensive; but dang that is a cool statue.

@nocdaes Are you a parent?

@Rambler I feel you're still stuck on the digital ownership versus actual physical object ownership. I see them as the same in the scope of this subject.

@Rambler isn't opening Pokemon cards the same? You don't know what you're going to get. They target children too.

@BloodNinja @BreathingMiit I agree with BloodNinja here.

For me this isn't some antigovernment agenda. I just want them to concentrate efforts on a more serious problem besides bad parenting in regard to video game spending.

I'll add maybe a different thing to this discussion. In the 80's and 90's, many of the arcade games we all love were fully designed to make us want to keep feeding quarters into them. X-man Arcade anyone? Technically, Overwatch isn't forcing anyone into buying loot boxes; nor is a game like Clash. Overwatch boxes contain cosmetic items only, clash technically is a pay to win to a certain point; but it's not necessary either. Maybe I'm off subject at this point.

@BloodNinja @Paraka great responses. Addiction is definitely a real thing and a tough thing. I feel for any person, family, friend who is dealing with it in any form, for any reason.

The reason I asked Andy the question, was to support my opinion that the governments could use addiction as a reason to regulate anything; and when would that stop? Seems silly that we're this deep into "loot boxes" because some parents fail to fully take on the responsibility of being a parent.
