@ScalenePowers I personally could do without the life-sim inclusion. I feel this has almost killed the Fire Emblem series for me. I really enjoyed the Shining Force games back on the Genesis.
I was a huge fan of VF4 on the PS2. I thought it was a very unique 3D fighting experience. I know there's been one since that....I think; but it would be cool to see that series make a full comeback.
Also, I would love a modern Sega Rally.
For my third I picked other. Why is Shining Force not included??? I don't even understand how this mistake happened on this site.
Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games but the first time I played it, there was a glitch that prevented me from entering the Temple of the Union and being able to interact with Hannibal. I had to finish the game, then start a brand new game in order to experience that part of the game.
I love Mario 64 but the terrible camera makes it almost unplayable for me these days.
For me it's going to come down to this: Is $60 worth it to play City? Because I've already played Asylum and it sounds like Knights is borderline unplayable on the Switch. I may need to wait this out until it lowers in price or goes on sale.
While I've never been into Fortnite, I find the hatred this game garners to be totally ridiculous. It's not my style, but it is not a terrible game. I feel that the best part about it, is it's uniqueness and the fact that Epic keeps it fresh.
@SurprisedRobinChu I was thinking the exact same thing. I believe the inclusion of guns in the Lego world, besides zapper/star wars type guns, ended with pirates and the western sets many many years ago. I didn't believe my son when he showed me Lego was doing Fortnite. I thought it was fake. I'm still very surprised.
I have only played Asylum on the 360. I never tried the other 2 because there was just way too many games back then calling my name. Recently I thought about picking this or the Metal Gear Collection up because I missed out. Most of the time when I buy a collection, I end up playing 1 maybe 2 of the many games loaded in the collection....then I just move on. So I'm not sure it's worth it for me.
I love the series so much but outside of making it Nintendo Kart and opening it up to other Nintendo characters and tracks based in those worlds, I'm not sure what else they could do. They've kind of did or tried everything. Water, sky, anti-gravity, partners; I'm really not sure what can be introduced. Are graphical upgrades enough? Open world? Do they try to do something like Forza Horizon? Do they move further away from the formula and do more of a racing sim with Nintendo characters? Do they introduce RPG elements? It's Nintendo so I doubt there's a possibility of a Twisted Metal style car combat game.
I trust Nintendo and as I already stated, I love Mario Kart. I patiently await the next game in whatever form that comes. In the meantime, I'll continue to play MK8.
I didn't preorder them. I never preorder Amiibo. If I see ones that I actually want in the wild, then I'll purchase. I only buy at retail price too, no inflated prices!
I would like all three of the Splatoon 3 characters though.
I'm thoroughly enjoying Wonder at the moment. I was actually thinking about holding off on it and picking up a few other games first, but now that I got it, I can't stop playing it. It's way better then I thought it was going to be.
@Poodlestargenerica Yep! Okay, buddy! That's like saying you don't like FPS because you only like COD or Gears. I would say that it's still possible to enjoy and like a genre even if you prefer a specific game series.....but hey, nice try.
@UltimateInkling I wouldn't say that I don't enjoy them. It's that I feel they are not close to the same quality so that I would rather play the Mario series. I guess it's sort of like the summer blockbuster movies that are fun to watch once, but you'll probably not watch them a second time. It's that kind of thing for me. Sonic was enjoyable for a day or two. Crash about the same.
Just my opinion, but I've never played a "kart" style game that was anywhere remotely close to the Mario Kart Series. I know people like the Crash and Sonic versions, but I'm not a fan of those either. The closest to Mario has been the Diddy Kong effort on the N64.
I finally picked this game up on Friday. So far it's awesome, including the Poplins. I wouldn't say that I "need" them but I definitely don't hate them either.
This one I don't quite understand. I think it's a great deal for anyone who doesn't own Smash and is also looking to buy a Switch; but my guess is that most people looking to get into the Switch at this point, is a casual gamer (not always! but in general). My bet is that the Mario games would sell better then Smash. If I were Nintendo, I would do a combo of Nintendo Switch Sports and Mario Kart and watch this thing print money. But that's just me. I would target casual people who don't own the Switch at this point in it's lifetime, not Smash.
I think this is a great deal for anyone who doesn't own the game but is thinking about it; and anyone who's experiencing drift and needs a new set of joy-cons. For me, we already own that title and I don't think there's a reason to own 2 copies of that one.
There's nothing wrong with having goals. However, all I get from the statement above is that they want to copy everything Nintendo has ever done to make Mario successful. The problem is that no one is entitled to greatness. It takes hard work and sacrifices. It takes the mentality of ensuring quality and not willing to take short cuts that may endanger the quality of the final product. I don't think Sega has it in them....yet. Maybe. But I wouldn't bet on them.
wow! SUPER GAME! So vague and so far off into the future. 3+ years for a game we know absolutely nothing about. I feel this is kind of silly to even mention at this point. At least when someone like Disney/Marvel announce a movie 3+ years away, we at least get the title or subject, or sometimes even a teaser. Sega gave us nothing but promises and a basic title. The title alone reminds me of when a child names a family pet....like, it's a hamster and they call it Hammy.
I've been craving a Madden game but sadly stupid EA doesn't see any money in bringing an NFL game to the Switch here in NA. Total missed opportunity.
Off the subject, the NFL signed exclusively with EA which shut down the very promising 2K NFL games. The contract runs our in 2025, but could go an extra year!
I would go with a digital only system, but only if the system was cheaper then one that included cartridge play. I tend to go digital these days anyways.
I'm not a collector. I typically don't revisit games once I'm done with them. For me, it's an easy decision. The only thing I wish they had, was a family download or something. We tend to have 3 copies of a ton of games because we play against or with each other.
Might be unpopular opinion, but that looks terrible. I thought it would at least have Pokemon in it; but it appears to be about a women playing the original game.
I'm not sure if Lego still does the blind-bag mini figures or not; but if there was ever a property that is screaming for the collectible blind-bag treatment, it's Animal Crossing.
I've always been a once every 5-8 years kind of person when it comes to all sports games. I love sports! Any and all! But for some reason sport video games get redundant to me. It also gets really silly spending the money each year for updated rosters.
I purchased FIFA and MLB not too long ago, but it might just be time to buy EA Sports FC. I'm waaaay overdue on a Madden game, but unfortunately that's not an option on Switch anyways.

@BLAZINOAH I believe Gunstar Heroes is owned by Treasure but I could be wrong. That would be awesome though.

Re: Video: Batman Arkham Trilogy Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison
@WhiteTrashGuy Thank you! I'll keep that in mind. I heard it was really good, just never really got a chance to play it.

I highly doubt I would use my Switch to stream media but I'm not against it either.
Re: Switch To Get Timed Exclusive Access To Robert Pattinson In Batman: Arkham Trilogy
I want this. BUT, I will patiently wait for reviews to make certain that this has been ported to the Switch without issues.

Re: Review: DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing - Ain't The Sharpest Tool In The Shed
@Poodlestargenerica Nope!!!! I love Kart games. I just have the opinion that most don't live up to Mario Kart.
Also, I've tried the other games that I spoke about except this new game; so wouldn't that allow me to have an opinion?
Your argument is very weak.

Re: Talking Point: Along With Joy-Con Drift, What Does Nintendo Have To 'Fix' With 'Switch 2'?
Joycon drift should be the first thing they resolve.

Is the eshop discoverability issue even an issue? I don't have any problem finding the games I want and learning about new games and sales.
