@DK_Dude333 My DS is my shame machine. I had played so much for n64 stuff (including a lot of controllers that destroyed themselves) that I needed that moment of FU! But it just isn't the same as owning your games in my eyes, feels different. So I went back to normally buying stuff in the 3DS era.

It did get me into Ace attorney, So that's a definite plus! 😄🤎

@DK_Dude333 I'll hunt the GCN one down for my boyfriend, he'll probably love it! 😄🤎

This game does sound cool though, is it any good guys?

And in hindsight it's EU/USA.
But maybe then those faces were pretty impressive?

What's next, Bowsette and Incineroar?!

Oh this looks like a lot of fun! Nintendo behind it so I'm hoping it controls well, always wanted this one as a kid! 🤎

@batmanbud2 It was revolutionairy because it allowed 4(!) player local multiplayer. It really wanted to capture that multiplayer and party vibe so we got loads of racing and puzzle games.

@N00BiSH Love me some Shimomura music, can't believe how consistently great she has been all these decades! 🤎

My dad bought an Xbox for Forza. He has two, doesn't want anything else and I'm pretty sure he's the nightmare of any kid thinking they could top that leaderboard by now! He's also late sixties! 🤣🤎

@MarcusIsCool @FullMetalWesker
Yes this is purely a business move. What if it get's to franchise under the new owner? When DO you sue.

I think they knew they didn't really have a case. But large businesses like this usually rely on the scared tactic. I'm taking you to court, and have a lot of evidence! Back away or settle already!

(It used to be Trumps whole schtick. Keep draging on the cost of legal fees till they fold.)

Ps. And I hate these tactics and Ninty got what's coming if that wasn't clear! 😂

@anoyonmus That's how I read it too! This will only lead to unnecessary disappointment.

But a gamer can dream!

@SillyG This would still work on the tune of Gypsies, tramps and Thieves! 🤔😂

Weirdly enough my family hopes for LESS anti-gravity stuff. It makes them pretty sick!

I just hope we'll get a set of tracks like Wario mountain and Wuhu Isle!

I understand some of you thinking of the people actually making games, but nothing will change of these execs don't get the fear of god struck into them...and since they only believe in money this is the best way!

@Axecon The delicious irony if that would happen, omg!! 😂🤎

You can't say it's a bad day when they release Fatal fury 2, but there's nothing here for me this week!

Eh, februari is close and we'll maybe get another GBA game...I mean it's one of the most stacked libraries, what's the hold up Nintendo?! 😂😄

@Bizaster under the bigger banner of Visual novels represented by Danganronpa. Although Danganronpa has these really tight action moments that were hard with a mouse already! So that's definitely the visual novel needing it the most!

@IceClimbersMain don't forget the time cat thingie on the OG X-box. That looked like so much fun!

I can throw this whole thing in my favourites, absolute banger!! 🥰

The joy of getting one of these presents every week is still awesome! 🥰

My irk is making courses wider to let all these players on it, and the item hell that will follow.

Both take away a bit of the racing fun for me!

I don't like it, but That's mainly because it reminds me of Seth Rogens awfull portrayal in the movie.

@Teksette Thanks for all those names for this thing, I really like the deuce device!

My add is the Sw-ooie! 😂🤎

@two-reeler I'm doing my part the best way anyone can: I'm not getting a kid and do most of my life with public transit! Surely I deserve a little plastic treat for that! 🤣

@DoubleDate I must be honest: I agree with your points, but I never could tell a PS 2 from a 3 or a 4.
They all look vaguely PlayStation-y. Just a big rectangular box.

But maybe they could've done something about the red coloring.... it's very Nintendo red though... 😂

Finally, I love 8 but it's time for a nice spruce up and new style!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Can't wait for christmas! 🤣🤎

@DoubleDate Good point!
Although it's a chonker, and has a big 2 on it. I hope people will go for it.

Main thing is going to be the games. Put a good Mario Kart and mainline Mario on there as soon as possible and they'll be fine!

Okay, looks awesome!
Bummed there's no release date so I can plan financially.

But realistic it's there well before Christmas right?!

@N00BiSH @Yoshi3
And the town themes, don't forget the gorgeous town themes! 😁🥰

I've been looking forward to this once since the announcement!! Finally the giant holes in my playlists are filling up!! 🥰😁

Jamboree is truly the best in like ten years! I Love the signal this company is getting with this! 🥰

Maybe both had worked?
But since we're probably not starting a new, but keeping this library moving to the next systeem, I'm REALLY happy we got it like this. Tried and played way more games than In would have other wise! (I remember about 20 bucks for badly emulated n64 games!)

@PinderSchloss I'll stay far away in the future! 😂

I think the sprite in both others is way too close, you can't even see it all. Meanwhile the NA one shows almost the same pose, but more of the dreamy and relaxed world I associate with Klonoa. I honestly thought this would be a slam dunk for NA! 😳

Edit
Looking at it better I see how low-grade the sprites are, there's nothing else actually grabbing attention, and what is he even riding there in the bottom half?!...You guys are right!

@splinters I recently got Pikmin 4 in a killer deal, absolutely amazed by that one!

So that's my recommendation of you haven't played it yet!
(And Mario wonder, Mario 3D land or Links awakening if you haven't played those! 😂)

@BenAV They were trending on a lot of sites, and that's just the pre-hype! I feel this helps them wat more than hurts because everyone now wants to know what this hot new console looks like!

I really felt this missed atmosphere somehow. I had way more fun with the refined controls on the 3ds though, so if they stick to not using waggle controls maybe it be fun to try again!

I'm just bummed out there won't be a second hand market anymore in 1 or 2 gaming cycles. It's the thing that brings me the most joy at cons etc.

And I think only digital will ultimately lead to more expensive media because they can ask whatever they want. And then lock it behind 1 console's profile like they do with Pokemon games at the moment. You don't het to tale your games to your (boy)friend!

Not to mention they can apparently also scrub it off your system, as demonstrates by Concord!

"People will just have to get used to not owning anything anymore.." -that evil Ubisoft guy

And I can't be the only one thinking this would have come out at Christmastime. It has a jingle bells mode!! 😂🤎

Apparently I'm in a minority here, but this one is my favourite of the three: soundtrack and games.

What I love most about 2 and 3 is that they both have such a clear identity! 2 is infiltrating the dark homeland of your Nemesis, 2 is going on a mission in, what to my uncultured behind, feels like the Rocky Mountains or somewhere gorgeous in Canada.

This soundtrack is so good! And if you just appreciate the songs for what they are, not what level or because they don't sound like the GBA one, you'll here the quality too I think!

Amazing addition this week!
Next week: a game that no one wants/ small release.
In two weeks: must be Windwaker, the last of the promised soundtracks! 🥳🥰

@TheMainMii I've started saving up for it, I'm ballparking 400 looking at the previous system and industry trends at the moment that seems to be a golden price parents could still fork over too. 500 is possible, again the competition is 600-1000 euros.

But I'm really going it won't come to that!!

80% off AI in Somnium is crazy!

If you have any love for story driven games, thrillers or detectives: GET THIS! You won't regret looking past that horrible title and boxart! 😂🤎

@VHSGREMLIN Thank god Star fish still loves us! 😂

@VHSGREMLIN 🤣Shunnn!!! 🤣

@TheSaneInsanity great sentiment. Let's wait for the final product. I've seen this isn't for me at least.

Meanwhile this also looks like a company that's created a game for profit, and has also found a way to do that in the most cost effective way. Especially when art and art design is such a big part of this game, this feels like a little slap to artists.

But there's also a part of me that thinks this look is kind of a hype right now, and people probably want to play a game with that in it..so it's smart marketing!

@Vortexeo Oh that's such a good idea! Taking up new hobbies really helped me connect with people and make some of my best friends!

Good luck, and congratulations on finishing school! 💪🥳

@Dr_Lugae yhea, but this project basically hinges on his personal wacky taste and humor. It's so specific I wonder if others could make that without a lot of direction.

@LavenderShroud Thanks!!

@Vortexeo that's a serious change in gaming habits! Was it for something good, or a conscious choice? Or just not enough there to keep you hooked?

@LavenderShroud I just finished Sword and loved it, how did you like it? And what did you think of the other two in comparison?

I'm trying to figure out if I'm going Arceus or final Fantasy 8 as next game! 😂

Slow and steady wins the race. If the previous installments are to go by he's basically finishing up 3 seperate anthological stories/games and a giant overarching story here!

@sketchturner That's also a fair breakdown of almost the whole game for me! 😜

(Which is going too far, I'm joking here! But I really hope this or echoes won't be the non-open world they try before saying they don't actually like traditional Zelda! Both way too experimental and different for that! 😅)

I believe you guys said this was holding it back, so even more excited now! That's a lot of fixed issues!! 😳🤎
