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.
Even though it's missing the final wave, the timing makes sense. My bet is that this will also be released in the rest of the world this way too. So this game coming out before the holiday season is a big deal for Nintendo, that's why they can't wait for the final DLC to come out.
Easy! Diddy Kong is my pick, with Funky being a close second. I can honestly do without Peachette. I didn't even know what that was about until Croctopus posted about it above. I'm impartial about Pauline.
IMO, if the controller is newer then the Xbox 360 or Wii Nunchuck, then it's probably garbage. I've had issues with almost all of my Joycons as well as PS4 controllers. Before these two system's controllers, NO PROBLEMS!
I seriously don't understand the "no magic" comments above. Really???? The primary theme is the wonder changes, which literally turn the level magical. I'll be buying most likely day one.
I like it....but I'm not buying it. Maybe if I was just now buying a Switch, this would be the one; but it's not. We have 3 in our house now, and buying this would be purely for cosmetic reasons.
I think sometimes Ubisoft bites off more then they can chew. They have grand ideals but they don't have the firepower to pull them off. That's my opinion anyways.
This is just a visit like he said. DONE. It's a common courtesy from one professional to another. He's done at Microsoft Xbox and just saying goodbye to a respected competitor.
For me the sound of Mario's voice is iconic; and it's Charles' voice. But at the same time, it's sort of simple right? It's not like the voice of Mario has ever really had depth. Meaning, lot's of vocabulary or dialect. It's always been simple words or or the famous "it's me, Mario" phrase. Let's be honest, that sound can be replicated. It may sound sad, but I think Charles should feel lucky he's lasted this long and now has a cool position still at the company.
Looks like a retro arcade racer from the 90's. I don't think it looks terrible but I'm doubtful that I'll pick it up. I'm questioning why the company even bothered to get the NASCAR name/logo for this game. Seems like they could have just called it Stock Car Arcade Rush and pocketed a little more profits. Seems weird. I think hardcore NASCAR fans will want a simulator and fans of arcade style racing won't care that it's NASCAR.
Great additions! I only played Seasons when it came out and I didn't know they linked; and probably had limited funds at the time to purchase the other game anyways.
Nothing can stop us now I'll tell ya how We're gonna make it happen.
I'm a big fan of the retro style animation on the current Mickey Cartoons and the Runaway Railway ride in Hollywood Studios. I think I'll give this a go at some point.
Mario Kart set the bar high. Pretenders can't even get close; but that's just my opinion. My love of Mario Kart goes beyond the cool characters that drive the karts, the game plays sooooo well compared to any other Kart game.
No thank you once again! Basically the only thing Limited Run announced that I'm remotely interested in is the Castlevania Collection. This looks terrible in my opinion. I get it, it's supposed to look like this, it's just not for me.
No thank you! My nostalgia must be different then everyone else's. I thought the Gex games were terrible when they originally came out. I highly doubt they'll be any better now that it's been 25+ years.
I've been a Nintendo gamer since the NES. I was also big into the COD series on the Xbox 360. I really miss those days playing COD, but I really only play the Switch these days. I personally would love a COD game on the Switch.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 6 Speeds Onto Switch Next Week
Super excited! I love how they snuck-in the Mii Suits. The Mii is one of my favorite characters because of the suits.
Re: Homage's Range Of Tecmo Bowl Apparel Looks Like A Touchdown For Retro Sports Fans
Tecmo Ravens?????? That's a bit of a stretch but sure.
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.
Second should be the d-pad.
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.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
I want it ASAP but there's so many games that I already own that I haven't finished yet.

Re: Review: Company Of Heroes Collection - Classic Strategy Soldiers On, Though The Missing Multiplayer Stings
@RasandeRose I'm thinking the same thing! Best played on a PC
Re: Disney Boss Reportedly Being Urged To Acquire A Major Game Publisher
I was just thinking about this the other day. Weird coincidence.

I had high hopes for this product, but it'll be a hard pass for me.

Re: Surprise! LEGO Animal Crossing Sets Are Actually Happening
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.
Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility
I typically don't revisit games once I've moved on; but it probably should be backwards compatible if they cared about their fan base.
Is it easier or harder with people purchasing more and more games digitally?
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Has Been Delayed Until December
I was eyeing this one up for my birthday but I think I'll be able to find a suitable replacement.

Re: Review: Wargroove 2 - A Must-Play Tactical RPG And A Worthy Successor To Advance Wars
The first game is terrific. Although I'm pretty sure that some of the sound effects are responsible for the one speaker being blown on my Switch.
Re: Talking Point: What Is Your Video Game Palate Cleanser?
On Switch, mine is definitely Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's nothing competitive like online, it's just me doing a few circuits.
On my phone it's either Marvel Puzzle Quest or Magic the Gathering Arena.
Re: Random: Nintendo And Seattle Aquarium Join Forces For An Animal Crossing Event
Seems like this event is like a year too late. But hey, sounds cool.
Re: LEGO Announces New Super Mario Set Featuring A Piranha Plant
I love this one! Might be more then I'm willing to spend, but the desire to own this is there!
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's DLC Physical Release In Japan Includes A Game Card

Re: F-ZERO 99 Turns The Classic Racer Into A 99-Player Battle Royale, On NSO Today
Nah, NES Remix 99 Next please!
Re: Talking Point: Which Classic Cartoons Deserve The Shredder's Revenge Treatment?
@somnambulance YES! Where is the modern quality Scooby game!!!! I second that one.
Re: Talking Point: Which Classic Cartoons Deserve The Shredder's Revenge Treatment?
@Coolmusic Have you ever played the very good Konami Bucky O'Hare game on the NES? It was like a Mega Man game staring the Bucky O'Hare crew.
Re: Talking Point: Which Classic Cartoons Deserve The Shredder's Revenge Treatment?
I've probably spent the more quarters on X-men then on any other arcade game combined. So my vote went there.
However, I would love a vehicle combat game based on M.A.S.K.; a RPG based on Conan The Adventure; and maybe something with Dino-Riders.
Re: This Blockbuster VHS Switch Game Case Will Give You A Lovely Dose Of Nostalgia
@Serpenterror Fair enough! Very clever.
Re: New Nintendo Joystick Patent Could Spell The End For Future Drift Issues
@Debo626 .....I honestly forgot about the Wii U! I never had an issue with those controllers.
Re: This Blockbuster VHS Switch Game Case Will Give You A Lovely Dose Of Nostalgia
It's really cool, but it only holds 12 games?
Re: New Nintendo Joystick Patent Could Spell The End For Future Drift Issues
IMO, if the controller is newer then the Xbox 360 or Wii Nunchuck, then it's probably garbage. I've had issues with almost all of my Joycons as well as PS4 controllers. Before these two system's controllers, NO PROBLEMS!
Re: G.I. Joe Gets The Streets Of Rage Treatment In Brand New Arcade-Style Brawler
I would prefer a G.I. Joe game to more in the style of Contra or Gunstar Heroes. A beat 'em up seems like a stretch. Where are the guns?
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct Showcase?
I seriously don't understand the "no magic" comments above. Really???? The primary theme is the wonder changes, which literally turn the level magical. I'll be buying most likely day one.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Online Multiplayer Revealed, No Online Co-op
I just want Mario 35 back!!!!! Just add that into the next Mario game please.
Re: Nintendo Announces Mario Red Edition Switch OLED, Out October
I like it....but I'm not buying it. Maybe if I was just now buying a Switch, this would be the one; but it's not. We have 3 in our house now, and buying this would be purely for cosmetic reasons.
Re: Rumour: A Red 'Super Mario' Switch OLED May Be Launching Soon
I get it, but hasn't this been done many times before? They should have done a blue to purple/pink fade like the "Wonder" logo.
Re: Murder On The Orient Express Get Its First Trailer, And It's Suitably Dramatic
I like a good mystery....but when you know how it turns out; is it still good?

Re: Charles Martinet Will No Longer Be The Voice Of Mario
For me the sound of Mario's voice is iconic; and it's Charles' voice. But at the same time, it's sort of simple right? It's not like the voice of Mario has ever really had depth.

Re: Nintendo's New Development Building Reportedly Delayed Due To "Expansion Plan"
@eltomo I think BuildCube is the most appropriate but I'm a huge fan of BuildBoyAdvance.

Re: Arzette Is A "Spiritual Successor" To The Infamous Zelda CD-i Games And It's Coming To Switch In 2023
No thank you once again! Basically the only thing Limited Run announced that I'm remotely interested in is the Castlevania Collection. This looks terrible in my opinion. I get it, it's supposed to look like this, it's just not for me.
Re: Gex Trilogy Collection Announced For Nintendo Switch
No thank you! My nostalgia must be different then everyone else's. I thought the Gex games were terrible when they originally came out. I highly doubt they'll be any better now that it's been 25+ years.
Re: Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection Officially Announced
I always preferred the Genesis versions of Jurassic Park.
Re: PlayStation Boss Doesn't Think Call Of Duty Appeals To Nintendo's Core Audience
I've been a Nintendo gamer since the NES. I was also big into the COD series on the Xbox 360. I really miss those days playing COD, but I really only play the Switch these days. I personally would love a COD game on the Switch.
Re: Review: AEW: Fight Forever - The Spirit Of WWF No Mercy Lives On In The Ring

Re: Talking Point: Is Super Mario Bros. Wonder Really A Departure From The 'New' Series?
It's going to to feel similar. It's a 2D Mario game after all.
Re: Nintendo Updates Pikmin 3 Deluxe Switch Icon In Latest Patch (Version 1.1.1)
@JohnnyMind @Eggolor
Thank you for the incite! I'll let you know what I decide to do. I'm really really itching to play the series; and I'm not sure what's taken so long.
