Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Trailer Highlights New Minigames & Tech Demos

@somnambulance We should expect it because they started the trend and it's just the consumer friendly thing to do.

All of this was a problem with Nintendoland, 1-2 Switch and this. But You can't sell this as anything other than a litteral demo that shows of the system! It's just greedy, unfriendly and totally unneeded. And a great showing of what's to come from Nintendo...so that's at least very honest of them!

Re: Rumour: New Datamine Suggests Nintendo Isn't Done With Mario Kart's Mobile Entry Just Yet

@StewdaMegaManNerd Fair enough!

To me it controls with the most precision of any title, and it's score chasing system where you rigg up combos is so satisfying to pull off!

The gatcha was Fair enough that I could pull off winning every few weeks, and if I didn't I could still get my favourite if I planned ahead a bit! (My favourites are all the Christmas outfits and Meowser! 😂)

Re: Nintendo Shares More Artwork Of Diddy Kong's Brand New Design

The fact I know Associate Seth being a d*k with this new design has probably done some damage. But the further we remove DK from that, the more fun and joyful his design looks!

I especially like how the Diddy design looks better in my eyes, it feels like the whole family now has a clear design line. Dk always felt a bit different from all the other Kings somehow!

@obijuankanoobie Mario Kart, Cyberpunk and especially FF REmake for me. Along with playing F-zero GX and upgrading the Zelda games with new "notes" to sniff out I'll be busy this year!

Dk doesn't look appealing AT ALL. So I'm also skipping that.

I basically having the joy of owning only one console, so now a whole new generation of ports comes my way! 😄😂

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: F-Zero X

While I feel Japan is clearly more awesome. I feel they made the right choice with the American/European box! I think people were craving the speed and serious racing of this game, and the characters would have made it seems kiddy or anime. (At a time where both of those was deemed a bad thing by your average consumer.)

@mohok Hearing that Nintendo is once again the biggest wrongdo-er here doesn't surprise me either. It's their biggest card or key card. And so every developer would be mad to go for anything but this new key card thing!

Taking away all the bonuses of digital games but just forcing us to go digital anyway... That sounds like the oldschool predator Nintendo we all knew before Reggie and Iwata stepped in!
(The one who stabbed their business partners so hard in the back it created PlayStation! 😂)

Re: Nintendo Music Adds More Than 100 Pokémon Songs In The Latest Update

garfreek

Oh I loved this game to bits! The UK was such a great place to get inspiration from! Loved the DLC island to muck about in when I felt too stifled by the railroading. And it had so many QOL updates and new Pokemon versus X/Y that I played before that!

The peppy stadium filling battle music and super chill exploration music helped a lot bringing it all together! (And finally having my favourite Pokemon, farfetched, finally evolve and act as my starter was the icing on the cake!)🤎

Re: Reminder: Nintendo's Switch 2 Launches Worldwide Next Month

With all the negativity it will be nice to just have it out there doing it's thing!

I'm really looking forward to the new NSO, Mario kart world looks absolutely amazing can't wait to play it! And since I'm a Nintendo only guy the third parties are legendary and I can't wait!

(I will finally be able to play that FF7 REmake soon! )

Re: Major French Retailer Says Switch 2 Pre-Orders At "Historic Level"

garfreek

@killercerial You're probably right though. And most of these negative people were the first to claim their pre-order. It's like that with everything at the moment and it's so annoying!

Taking the fun out of something completely, killing all the fun. And then caving!

It's even worse than schutting your yap and buying. Because all these companies see people whining and doing it anyway. So why wouldn't they make it worse next time?..

Re: Major French Retailer Says Switch 2 Pre-Orders At "Historic Level"

garfreek

@Stormcloudlive you're right, they won't know about welcome your at all! So why sow that bad will with your consumers for a tech demo?!

They just want an easy new popular system...
I swear the lower price and portability is what rakes in those casuals. At this price they can get a PlayStation!! And that's always been seen as the more serious gaming system, not to mention the more cool and popular choice!

But this system will do fine, there's just no better choice for good portable gaming. At least if it keeps that Steam Deck out of it's way!
