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.
I think I may revisit Arkham and I've never played a Pikmin game. P4 might be where I jump on board. The Mario game is a must-buy for my family but I prefer the 3D Mario games.
The only thing I would bet on is the next wave from Mario Kart. Other then that, I have no clue. Typically I like speculating but this time around, I'm not even trying. Here's to surprises!
I really love StarFox64. Probably one of my favorite games on the N64, and one that still plays great today. It would be awesome to see what a modern "traditional style" starfox would look like and play like on the Switch. I'm not opposed to seeing what a Starfox racing game would be like though. The characters are so good that it's a crying shame that they're not around more.
What about a Starfox RPG in the style of Star Control 2?
Maybe I'm missing something, but if this series is this popular, with lots of people re-buiying these games, why hasn't there been a new game developed????
@KingdomTears Okay, I definitely see what you're talking about now. I was just looking at the pictures in this article and they looked fine.....until I clicked on them! I'm not sure if that's a Nintendolife issue or a Nitro Deck issue?
The comment above about the images looking like they were made with Paint is silly.
I'll hold off on judgment until these have been fully reviewed. The promises are intriguing but in my experience, the third party controllers rarely live up to the promises they make. I'm hoping they turn out great.
I don't understand the hatred for this. If I had a PS5, I would be interested in this for sure. I loved my Wii U. I love my Switch. Being able to to play off TV is a huge benefit in my house.
I will agree that it seems like they copied Nintendo, but isn't this how things work these days in every industry?
I will also agree that it seems like a product that will have a minimum impact or small audience.

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: Poll: What Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 6 DLC Racer Are You Most Excited About?

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?

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: Ubisoft's Cancelled 'Immortals 2' Project Reportedly Took Inspiration From Elden Ring
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.
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. 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.

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: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color Library With Two Zelda Classics
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.

Re: DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing Will See Shrek, Po, Hiccup And More Speed Onto Switch Soon
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.
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
"Switch version has very distracting pauses at times"
-No thank you
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.
Re: Nintendo Updates Pikmin 3 Deluxe Switch Icon In Latest Patch (Version 1.1.1)
Hey everyone, off the subject a bit; but I have a question.
Do I need to play all the games in this series in order or can I jump in at any point? I wasn't how deep the pikmin lore is.
I have never played any of the game.
Re: Random: Artists Are Already Creating Elephant Mario Fan Art And It's Brilliant
@Anti-Matter Yes! Well done. Coloring isn't as bad as you think!
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Today's Nintendo Direct?
I think I may revisit Arkham and I've never played a Pikmin game. P4 might be where I jump on board. The Mario game is a must-buy for my family but I prefer the 3D Mario games.
Re: Nintendo Direct Showcase Confirmed For Tomorrow, 21st June
The only thing I would bet on is the next wave from Mario Kart. Other then that, I have no clue. Typically I like speculating but this time around, I'm not even trying. Here's to surprises!

So, Fall Guys + Mario Kart? I'll take a deeper look once more details get released.

Re: Resistor Is A Racing RPG That's An Explosive Mix Of Burnout And Mad Max
I'm interested. I hope the ideas work and the gameplay lives up to the ambition.
Re: The Nitro Deck Is A Stunning Switch Controller Grip Promising "Zero Stick Drift"
@KingdomTears Okay, I definitely see what you're talking about now. I was just looking at the pictures in this article and they looked fine.....until I clicked on them! I'm not sure if that's a Nintendolife issue or a Nitro Deck issue?

I love Capcom, I'll be happy with whatever they announce, I'm just hoping for games on the Switch though.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color, SNES & NES Library With Four More Titles
WOW! I seriously can't wait to try every one of these titles. Pleasant surprise for sure.
Re: Random: Sony's Upcoming 'Project Q' Is A Little More Wii U Than Switch
I don't understand the hatred for this. If I had a PS5, I would be interested in this for sure. I loved my Wii U. I love my Switch. Being able to to play off TV is a huge benefit in my house.
I will agree that it seems like they copied Nintendo, but isn't this how things work these days in every industry?
I will also agree that it seems like a product that will have a minimum impact or small audience.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Kameo Fighters Announced Alongside Main Roster
I've always been more of a Street Fighter II fan, but every once a while it's cool to give Mortal Kombat a go.
