If it's good, I'll just get it on sale. I'm not going to put in money or effort if they don't either.

EDIT: If the port is good, I mean. If it's bad, I'll pinch my nose and get the PS4 version.

They should've put a twerking Mario in the video. I'm sure Nintendo would love that. 👍🏽

Sanic the Hughug, Mareo, and Spidderboy are going to eat up those charts next week. I wonder if the PS5 can outsell the Switch during that time. 🤔

Somebody's analyst sounds a little salty. I bet they'd be the first to laugh if the Mario red edition was DOA.

I liked what they did with Ganondorf's character, just not how it was done storywise. The memories were the bulk of the story, again, but he didn't really do anything in the present day. I was secretly hoping for a twist villain in Rauru, but that didn't come to fruition, unfortunately.

Honestly, the game we should have gotten was the adventure that Zelda got to go on without us.

For a smooth transition it does. The Wii U was a floppity flop, so there wasn't much ire about ditching discs. It won't go so well if they change format and ditch backwards compatibility again. The handhelds, aside from the 3DS to Switch, have always had some form of BC, and they shouldn't ditch it now.

EDIT: I don't even have to read the article to know a bad take when I see one. This take is about as bad as anything that Pachter guy used to say. Also, can we just call it the Super Switch for now? Switch 2 sound stupid, especially considering Nintendo never slaps a number on the end and keeps it rolling. Even the Wii U wasn't called Wii 2...

The Peach game looks pretty cool and I've never played The Thousand Year Door or Luigi's Mansion 2. Overall pretty solid, I think.

Already pre-ordered it days ago. It would be the perfect Christmas present... too bad it's not out until May...

I'm pleasantly surprised at the score. Hopefully the game drops in price soon.

Omg, I can't keep stealing all the games I want!? Downvote.

You've got to be a special kind of foolish to be mad at developers for trying to protect their games from thieves. Most of the complainers weren't going to buy the games anyway, so the devs don't really need to care.

I too am worried about performance, DRM, always online games, all digital future, etc., but the thieves and the reason so many companies make these decisions. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Eww, who voted for Big Man? 🤢
It's Shiver or bust. 😎

@YoshiF2 I know the feeling. Pikmin 3 was a perfected Pikmin 1, while Pikmin 4 is just a better Pikmin 2. Pikmin 1 and 3 are what the series should be. The dungeons (and night "explorations") extend the length of the game, but they don't really add to the fun, only the frustration. I would gladly trade them all for 3-5 more opens areas to explore. That would be awesome. If they add DLC, I hope it's not more dungeons.

Physical, maybe. IF it is on the cartridge, which I doubt.

It has to review and run well, too. GTA was embarrassing.

Money, of course. With money, you can pursue more of your interests to achieve something great (fame) and maybe even meet someone along the way (love).

My score is an 8. It consists of the best part of Pikmin 3 and the absolute worst parts of Pikmin 2. If they removed the dungeons and added even more areas, I would be tripping over myself to give it a 10.

I pre-ordered it when I pre-ordered Pikmin 4.

The throne has already been claimed. FF took a shot at the king and missed. End of story.

I'm glad Microsoft won mainly because the FTC lost. They should've stopped the bank mergers, cable providers mergers, and cell phone company mergers but they sat those out. Fighting over CoD was just childish.

Edit: Also, Sony's whining was not validated, which I also appreciate. I'm a Nintendo first Sony sometimes type of person, and even I know Sony was serving up some lukewarm BS.

Thiccc bois for the win! 😎

@johnvboy I was thinking the same thing. The Switch busting 100,000+ units the week FFXVI came out, with no major release at the same time, tells me that Squeenix made the wrong call making the game exclusive to the PS5.

@PessitheMystic I'm not big on FPS in general, but I gave both BLOPS 2 and Ghost a go on the Wii U. Then we got crickets after that.

Skipping a whole console for all your major games was a bad idea!? No $#!+.

To quote myself from a previous article:

"When Nintendo systems don't sell as well as other consoles (N64, GameCube, Wii U) they are direct competitors, but when they sell much better than competing consoles (Gameboy, DS, 3DS, Wii, Switch) they aren't even in the running? Uh huh. Y'all smell that? Smells like BS to me. Just like Sony's momentum chart."

I don't like the superiority complex Sony has regained from the PS4 era. I was hopeful they dropped that after the early failures of the PS3. I think a large part of the problem is that people are too quick to forgive Sony for their f-ups, but they continue to drag Nintendo and Microsoft for theirs.

Not gonna lie, this actually looks like it'll be more up my alley than the first game.

So it's not the worst game ever? Sorry Redfall and Gollum, you probably will keep your titles of worst games this year.

I'm interested in both games, but Sega must be pretty confident to go toe-to-toe with their former rival on said rival's own platform. I wonder how they both will stack up in reviews. 🤔 Wouldn't it be the shock of the century if the new 2D Sonic game reviewed as good as, or even better than, the new 2D Mario game? I doubt it, but it could happen.

@UltimateOtaku91 With any luck, it will be Metroid Prime 2 and 3. If they really want to wow us, they could include Prime Hunters as well.

Every time I see niggling or niggles I keep thinking of the Almost a Slur video from College Humor. If you haven't seen it, it is a must watch.

On topic: I need to pick these up as soon as possible. I want the physical version, but I don't want to wait until September. 🥲 I beat Pikmin 3 before on the Wii U, but I never got to play these two.

If it's good, I will buy it. I love Cuphead and it's art style, but I never got past the second isle.

Super Mario: Magic Mushrooms. Our hero has fallen on hard times, guys. He's started using again. Pray for him. 😭

Prediction Time:

35 Minutes of Everybody 1-2-Switch detailing every mini game and how the world will be saved if we all buy the game. It's super great and tested well in every market. Please understand.

5 minutes about the character customization of Pikmin 4 and your faithful doggo companion. Much doggo, most buy.

EDIT: My uncle works at Nintendo, so I would know. 🤪

@Jamie64326 I know. They don't seem to bother with controlling the projects they develop, though. Same with Kirby and HAL Laboratories. Especially HAL Laboratories. The 3ds was Kirbied to the extreme.

@BenAV I thought I was going to hop into it once I got it, but last year just had so many games released. Truth be told, I got the original game digitally, gold edition, for 90% off. That's probably where all the first game's sales came from.

@BenAV I should've waited longer. I bought the game but never got around to plating it. 😬

@UltimateOtaku91 I don't really mind having multiple games in a franchise either, as long as the games are solid (that's aimed and Game Freak and the dubious quality of their games). The same applies for Hal Laboratories with Kirby as they aren't Nintendo owned either. Nintendo may own Fire Emblem, Kirby, and Pokémon (partially), but they are mostly hands off with those franchises.

@BenAV I got it half off a month after it came out.

@UltimateOtaku91 Easy: Nintendo doesn't develop Fire Emblem and they don'town Itelligent Systems. I think the same goes for Pokémon and Game Freak. Although, if they fully owned Pokémon amd Game Freak, I think we would be getting better games. They have no excuse for Splatoon or Xenoblade, though it is okay if they have a few.

There were parts of Engage's story that I found very intriguing, but I think the story overall was a dud. It was like watching a cheesy 4Kids dubbed TV show from the 90s. Chapters 10 and 11 were the best in the game, but the rest of it was kinda meh. It also sucked that they had to patch in more options for bonding at the Somniel. I was mostly finished with the story by that point. I really liked a lot of the characters, but the fact that not all of the "romance" options are romantic is a little silly. Who gives someone a ring to declare everlasting friendship? And who thought it was a good idea to include the children in as "confession" options?

@BLD I have to agree with you for 3 Houses. Rather than telling a good story, they chose to make 3.5 routes of dubious quality, with what should have been the omni route (church route) just a gimped version of the Golden Deer route. Not to mention that the whole conflict with Rhea and Edelgard could've been resolved with literally one conversation within the ENTIRE YEAR they lived together. We barely got a good explanation for why certain characters did certain things, but they made sure to kill off Edelgard and Dimitri in every route you don't side with them. Then 3 Hope came along and did nothing more than destroy Claude's character.

I breezed through it in a few weeks with 150+ hours in. I moved on to Skyward Sword.

I got happy until I saw which Tomb Raider games. Knowing that the first two reboot games were on PS3/360, I'm honestly surprised that they never made it to the Switch. I think you're right, @Shambo. It's a bit late in the game to bring Tomb Raider to the Switch, though I would still support a physical release of the reboot trilogy if it comes to pass.

I just wanna know what's coming in the fall and winter. New hardware can wait until next year. Unless they are actually planning a release this fall... in which case, I am open to it. I doubt it, though. The Switch still has some juice left to squeeze.

@Nintendancies I came here with the same question. Is the game actually good? NL hasn't reviewed the game, from what I can tell.

Does it have any other smart watch features, or is it just a $80 catching tool?

@presenttense I did quite a few towers before I knew how to get the paraglider. The best I could do was aim for water and hope for the best. I think the paraglider and the flight suit should have been given before leaving the sky islands since the geoglyphs were available at that point.

@presenttense Same here! I thought Impa and I were friends, but she told me jump to my demise.

I wish I knew the correct order to get the memories. I spoiled the story for myself pretty early...

The boss fight in TOTK makes him the best to me. Phase two of that fight was rude in the best way. A stark difference from the boss fight in BOTW.

I just got curious because a YouTuber was complaining that the story quests were mandatory before you can fight the final boss, which is not the case. Kinda makes me wish I beat all the shrines before progressing with the story, but oh well.
