I owned this on the Wii & 3DS and Tropical Freeze on the WiiU. I love both games. BUT, I can't bring myself to double dip on either at the prices they're charging.
Good for those who never played them though. These games are platforming perfection IMO.
@bleeflooflah I'm happy you'll be able to take advantage of the bundle.
Personally I would prefer the base system and buy whatever game you want. I highly doubt you're going to get the game and pass for the basic system price. Nintendo will charge you for the game at least. You may get the pass for free or at a discount though.
Why not? Seems like a "no-brainer" to bundle one of the best selling games of all time with the Switch before the holiday season kicks in. This might be the best casual game as an entry point into the Switch.
Although, I highly doubt this is the type of product that will sell a second Switch to someone who already has one. If they wanted to reach that market too, all they would have needed to do is make the system look cool. Like, racing stickers from the game on the back, and the actual system in checkered black & white.
I'm still playing Switch games going, "wow, this game looks amazing". I'm not sure I can justify a $700 system that plays games at the a notch above what's already out there. Seems insane to me. BUT, there's plenty of people out there that have the means and can justify the price of admission.
I hope it plays well because I love me some Advance Wars.
....but at the same time, I can't believe this got okayed by Nintendo to be for sale on the eShop. The only differance I can see is the characters are more realistic looking cartoon and less anime style.
I still plan on giving the demo a try, but the low score based on the core mechanics is a giant red flag for me. Even if the story and art are good, when it comes down to it, core mechanics are one of the most critical aspects of a good game in my opinion. If I'm in it for just the story, I'll read a book or watch a movie!
I've never played any of these games. I need to play a demo first I think.
I loved L.A. Noire. But I've also not really ever been into classic point-and-click style games. I think I would like a mystery/detective game but I'm not sure if the style is right for me.
Nintendo always keeps their systems lower in comparison to the competition. If it's portable like the Switch, I think it will be in the $300-$400 range. Nintendo will know that families will want to own multiple systems if it's portable, and most families won't shell out $500+ pure system 2-4 times.
My guess is November 2025 release. Get the crazy going just in time for the 2025 Holiday Season! The majority of Nintendo systems, at least in NA, have been released in the month of November. It'll be then or March 2026. March is another popular month for Nintendo to release systems.
Maybe it's silly to have a World Record for something like this but I'll be the first to post that I'm extremely jealous of his setup. I wish I had a space dedicated to gaming, and the funds to make this happen. Sure you can't play more than one game at a time, but it's really cool. He's got a great collection and he has the right to be proud of his collection. Good for him!
I tried twice to get into the Borderland Series. Both times I was disappointed and moved on with buyers remorse.
I won't be going to a theatre to see this one, but I'm not opposed to watching it once it makes its way to streaming. I find that sometimes people are little too harsh on this type of movie.
@ScalenePowers Better late than never! Thanks for the update. This is how I was with the Monster Hunter Series. Played that originally and thought it was not for me. Others said, try it again and provided a few tips. I tried it again and I've been a fan ever since. Perhaps later this fall when my time frees up, maybe I'll revisit The Thousand Year Door. Thanks again!
I have really special memories of my two sons and I playing the games and collecting through street pass. I wish something like this would come back but I highly doubt it.
I was gifted a eshop card for Father's Day, I finally pulled the trigger on Dave the Diver. I was going to get one of the many solid games that were on sale but after trying the demo of Dave the Diver, I couldn't stop thinking about it so I bought it at full price.
I'm also still playing sessions of Vampire Survivor.
I'm surprised by the Devil May Cry Love. I honestly didn't know the series and Dante were that well liked. Personally, I never really cared for the series but that dates back to 1 and 2. Never tried them again after those games.
I loved playing that game so much as a kid. Obviously the license doesn't belong to Capcom, but I would love to play that again; either a new game or a HD Remake.
I think it depends on the game and/or treatment. For a game that has very little done to improve the graphics or gameplay from the original, the games should be around $20-$30. For games that have a substantial amount of work done to them, I'm okay with the $40-$50 price range. But no matter what's been done, I feel the $60 range is too much.
@Angelic_Lapras_King I agree 100%. Back in the day when there were multiple baseball, football, futbol, basketball, and hockey games is when the competition created the most progress.
It's a pass for me. I purchased this game when it originally came out and just couldn't get into it. I wanted to like it, but I couldn't force myself to keep playing.
I must be the only person that didn't really care for the original. I want to like this but I couldn't get into it. Maybe a second try? But if I don't care for it again......
I'll admit that he would be a great fit for the character but what a random question to ask him. There's no clue or data that even backs up Wario being in the next Mario movie. So to ask Danny in an interview if he would consider the role is weird in my opinion.
I would stick with Switch somehow. I think the system carries a lot of momentum that should be taken advantage of. Maybe keep it simple and go with Nintendo Switch 2.
So it's less games/challenges with the added feature of online and local competitions for about the same price. I think it's fair but could have been more. That's my stance on the matter.
I really enjoyed both remix games. We had them both and played them a lot. I'm just not sure the added features warrant a revisit.

Power Rangers in the US came a little late for my childhood, but my younger brother was into them. I always wanted more of the Zords to be a focus.
This game looks generic IMO.
Re: Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club Is Out Next Week, Will You Be Getting It?
@Lizuka Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely give the demo it a try.
In your opinion, are they very "point & click"?

Re: Talking Point: Will The Switch Ever Get A 'Nintendo Selects' Range?
If it was going to happen, I would think it would have been a couple years ago with the titles that transitioned from the Wii U to the Switch.
I think their profits are good and people continue to buy so they're probably thinking, "Why would we discount games?"

@KeeperBvK You described the racing as "fine". I'm not sure that's enough for me to track down a used Wii game and hook my Wii back up.
But thank you for correcting my post by pointing out that Gears is not a FPS 6 months later!
