I skipped this when it launched but picked it up on Black Friday at a discounted price and in that "adventure" edition or whatever it was call. I couldn't wait to finally play it. I put the cart in my Switch, fired up the game, played for about an hour and just couldn't get into it. But I went back months later, because people told me it starts slow but once you get into it, it's awesome. So went back and it was in fact awesome. I played through the main game, then I needed a break from it. I never touched it since.
My family loves Amiibos! We never purchased because of value or rarity. We only purchase the ones we think are cool and only at SRP. I would say we own probably 50%-75% of the ones released.
If they really wanted to make a ton of money, they would release all the Pokemon in a time release. Maybe half the size at half the price. These would sell out!
Me personally, I want some Mario Kart Amiibos. Like characters in kart/on bike.
In my house, we own three Switches. We've had issues with 3 pairs of Joy-Cons drifting. All three were the contact inside the controllers failing. On all 3 pairs with drift, it was both left and right. None of our drift problems were related to dirt, dust, or foreign object getting inside the controller. In my experiences, these are the worst controllers ever, as far as durability is concerned. I love the Switch, but the durability of it is one of the worst systems I've ever owned. My left speaker is blown on my Switch too.
Do a version 3 and put all previous games on a Nomad. I'm not sure what it would take to make this work or how much something like this would cost, but it would be cool and set it apart from the many other "classic systems" that were released.
RE4 is significantly better then all other RE games. It's not even close. Are the original 3 bad games? No. But the controls alone, hold them back from getting close to RE4.
Every single main Mario title 2D or 3D have been great in my opinion. I'll take whatever. I could get excited for a return to Odyssey. It would be cool if Mario went on another vacation like Sunshine....maybe this time the gang heads to the slopes and it's call Snowflake. Skiing would play a bigger part in at least getting around.
Mario Kart 8 Smash Bros. WiiU DKC:TF Yoshi Bayonetta 1 & 2 Super Mario 3D World Rayman Legends
All joking aside. I wouldn't get a Nintendo Wii U at this point as many of the system's best games are already on the Switch in some form. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the other great games that haven't made the jump, eventually do!
I may get this eventually. I purchased the double pack when 2 came out because I never played the series before. I started with the first game but grew a bit bored to be honest. I stopped and never went back....still have yet to play 2. Maybe someday, I'll revisit, play those first, then pick this up.
I won't touch these games! I've already been through enough pairs of Joycons that I'm not going to sacrifice any more to the original two Mario Party games. These will surely destroy them at a quicker pace.
I'm not enjoying the game and I'm really really fired up that my progress from the first game hasn't transitioned over yet. The system is clunky. I just want to play! I don't want to unlock characters that I've been using for years!!!!
Ugh! I purchased that Bridge game and was disappointed I spent money on it. The premise sounded awesome but the controls made me want to throw my Switch at the wall! So knowing that this is by the same people means I will skip.
I'm 100% sold. I was impressed with everything so far. The poster was super cool looking with lots of little details for fans, the animation looked great, and the voices are better then I expected. I really enjoyed the trailer. I was expecting something much shorter that didn't really show anything. Specifically, I don't think Pratt sounded bad, I think it's just not what we're used to as fans of the game. It's almost like he's channeling a New York/New Jersey accent.
My biggest gripe is that I haven't been able to even get into the game yet, despite the fact that they took away the first game, a game that I paid for!!!!
My problem is that like many of you, I "paid" for Overwatch. Now I can't play a game I paid for because the free to play sequel has replaced the first game. I think they should have not released the sequel until they were ready. I've tried multiple times to play and I receive errors or I'm put on a huge waiting list.
Out of all the games out there that have been ported to modern consoles; this is the one that I can't understand why it's not on a Nintendo System. Complete wasted opportunity for Konami. They must not love money.
Good riddance!!! Here's to hopefully some competition in soccer/futball games once again; to bring out the best!
I hope all sports leagues open up to non-exclusivity with developers once again. Let's see what some different developers can do with the sports leagues we all love.
@Astral-Grain You're absolutely right. I do actually get that. When Animal Crossing came out during Covid, it was something that my sons and I fully jumped into playing for the reasons you provide.
I think I was looking at this slightly different though and being a bit judgmental of a game I know very little about.
I don't understand the draw of job/life trends in gaming right now. Personally, I don't want to complete mundane jobs in a game to make it more like real life, I want to escape real life, even if it's just for 15 minutes! I pretty much bail completely on games these days when it feels like I'm doing a "job".
I personally would love an updated Switch or Switch 2. However, I don't want a new system like the "NEW" 3DS XL, that you needed to play a small set of games and offered only minor upgrades at a bigger price tag.
If I owned some N64 controllers for my Switch, then I would be excited to play the Mario Party games again. But since I would be using Joycons, I will not touch those games. If your controllers don't have drift now, they definitely will once you and some friends start playing Mario Party.
I'm excited to revisit both 1080 and Pilot Wings, I don't think Goldeneye has aged well but I'm still excited to share this groundbreaking game with my two sons who have never even tried it.

Re: Poll: Splatoon 3's Pokémon-Themed Splatfest Is This Weekend, Which Type Will You Pick?

Re: Random: Fans Are Getting Fix-It Felix Vibes From Movie Mario
