I would buy it a third time but only if they have fixef all the graphical issues that have been shown in the trailers.
If I pay 60 this needs to be the best version and not a worse looking one

@Not_Soos I think the main issue is that 99% of them are not good enough.
This one looks too unpolished... also there is nothing more ugly than an upscaled n64 game. in their situation i would have kept the resolution down and add more things, that look like n64 but havn't been possible on tha actual machine (like more moving grass etc).

@Pho
It also wouldn't be my personal number one but I still think it's the best game of all time. I think just design wise there is nothing that comes close, even now 7 years later (not even tears of the kingdom which I think has worse game design).

I very rarely agree on those "best of all time" lists, but this one is really spot on.

@somnambulance may I ask how old you are?
I just can't believe that someone who played 6,7,8,9 and 10 could some how believe that the modern games are better. I could make a long list why they aren't.
that being said I don't want to ruin your fun with it, it's great that you like those games.

@Greenmanalishi I couldn't agree more.
Final Fantasy was religion to me till FF13, which was a mess and they couldn't recover after it.
bad written characters and stories, clunky battle systems etc.

if its real, it's the worst possible console reveal ever

@Astropez If legaly used art to train the AI is used then ofc it's not theft.
Ai art makes sense to use in a not final product, as a tool in the creation of something.

@FantasiaWHT no they are not doing the same thing that a human does. please read a bit more about that topic and you will see it's not that simple.
there are even appraisals from academics who say it's breaking the copyright laws.
And as I said, it doesn't benefit anyone except the big AI companies. you as a consumer will just get more crap.

@Astropez I hope your post was meant to be ironic

@FantasiaWHT
I'm not completely against AI stuff but especially AI art is theft and because of that your comparison to the past is just not fitting.
You can use AI as a tool and that's great and will benefit humanity (hopefully) but video games are an art form and with that part of our culture. Robots cannot create culture and shouldn't create culture.
When Youtubers use AI art I have no problem with it, it's normally not a work of art.

@bluemage1989 nice that you promoting theft.
who do you think wins if AI is getting used more and more? the consumer who get worse quality but a lot more crap?
no my friend the only one who win are the giant companies. you will lose. this time they didn't steal from you but when they do it, don't expect any solidarity from others

and the next ai box art game. wtf when you have the money to make a game like this, you should have the money for an key art artist...

the eshop is a scam nightmare.
I really don't understand why nintendo is not doing something about it.
it could be such a healthy platform for indies, if they would get rid of the scam crap

@dugan
hey thank you.
I would say a core gamer is a gamer who actively seeks out for information about different games on a regular basis.
So everyone who reads websites like this regularly, is a core gamer for me.
But I also think that those groups are not homogeneous. In the core gamer segment you have people who do play Mario Games but other might only play high complex simulation games like Rimworld.

@VoidofLight that is just half the truth.
there is no casual audience anymore playing outside of their smart phone.
some years ago you could have sayed there is a core, mainstream and casual audience but even that is not accurate anymore.

on switch you just have mainstream, core and something between mainstream and casual.

just to make sure, mainstream audience are people who mainly play games like fortnite, fifa, call of duty, minecraft etc.
those gamers are the biggest part on all systems and those gamers do not care if the latest pokemon sucks, they still buy it and they have fun with it even though it looks and plays bad.

oh and those mainstream gamers would never buy a lenovo handheld because they can play their games more easy and cheaper on a switch or a ps5

@Bolt_Strike it's not really competition.
the steam deck sold far less units than the wii u and lenovos system is going to sell even less.
those systems just target very very niche audiences.

@WhensDinner
you say it already the look pretty much the same but they always have slight differences. it's naive to believe those images are real in a time of ai and 3d printing. for those third party companies it's free advertising...

haha all those third party companies laugh about how easy it is to get free Advertisement on the biggest Nintendo website. just make a fake mockup and tell everyone it's the real thing. why should those companies have information like this so long before the actual thing is coming out? it makes no sense

both look super cool

streetpass and 3d screen would be dope... but i hope they just have something new

@superdad64 no one cares about the censorship of the game. it doesn't change the experience at all. it's all in your mind.
I'm also not a fan of censorship but you also have to be realistic.

I'm not surprised. the game is very outdated and also didn't age very well. it has poorly written characters and dialogs, the story is almost not existent, it has far too high encounter rates and so on.
some hardcore rpg gamers are buying it early and thats it.

Event though I don't believe in it but they still have a february slot open for a game.
I guess we will see more Nintendo news after Black Friday.

this is embarrassing...

I recently realized you have to be online to be able to start the first tomb raider trilogy. Since this is a no go for a singleplayer game, I will not buy this new one

i hope they are not connecting the games more.
I think it was fun with XC 1,2 and 3 but its enough... at a certain point it becomes a mess like resident evil.

@geo-shifter
1) pls just google but most people have far more crappy phones than you might think.

2) most people play those crappy microtransaction 3d games like genshin impact without a bluetooth gamepad or a backbone.

What a waste of resources... I hope it flops that capcom focuses more on the real games

i think kinstones are great and serve the overall gamedesign in a great way.

@Lofoten
Or Winamp

He should have stayed at Capcom instead of working for a company like Tencent...

They are going to be again switch emulators in some years, when the system is considered Retro and Nintendo doesn't care anymore, So I'm fine.
Most Switch emulation users are anyway pirates

never thought so many people would want gamepass on switch. i don’t get why, it would be anyways streaming only.

man this A B testing is so great and shows me times and times again that I know nothing

Is it possible to get away in court if you can prove that your IQ is so low that you're legally considered insane?

comparing the console base this shouldn't be surprising

@Nickakyoin
I don't have the game yet. it's in delivery.

That being said, I listen to IGNs Nintendo Voice Chat podcast regularly and I can say Logan (the reviewer) has usually a pretty good taste, so I think his review might have some points.

Also if you watched the Nintendo Life review on youtube you will see that Alex also didn't like the game a lot.

The thing is the last Mario & Luigi games had all a lot of issues with NPCs talking too much, with generic worlds etc... and it seems like it's the case here too.

@Nickakyoin
And why should any other website be more valid ?

I think it might have more views in the same amount of time than Metroid Prime 4

Ok I'm very very confused about how different the reviews to this game are...
IGN gives a 5/10
Nintendo Life a 9/10
Should I send my copy back or should I play it ?

I liked the game on PS1 but I'm afraid it aged poorly... at least the remaster doesn't look like a lot of fun :/

Yeah great instead of promoting this great game, people in the internet complain about it so that other people not buy it because they think something important was censored...

@PluckyRicky there are many good games that don't sell and there are many crap games like choo choo charles that sell extremely well.

games are in most cases not a well fitting medium for story telling.
Most games have poor writing and when you try to make a game more story heavy, it will lose what makes it a game in the first place, the interactivity

@Yosti
Kingdom Battle was great and yes the second one was just not enough of an improvement and again very formulaic

@Samalik
Haha you mean like Assassins who jump from roof tops of towers into a little wagon with straw ? or historically correct like leonardo da vinci or in general Assassins and all that stuff?
Assassins Creed was always fiction even though it had some real historical elements in it.

@Tobiaku I'm not pro Ubisoft and I see myself very centered in political things but man I consider 99% of the mob hating ubisoft for AC Shadows to be exactly toxic gamer talk. I really don't understand why people do not accept that Assassin's Creed is fiction and not reality and fictions comes with some artistic freedom. You don't have to like it and you don't have to buy it.

uibsoft games just too often feel like products and not like a piece of art. very formulaic design in almost all their games. thats also the reason I stopper playing mario + rabbids 2.
just compare those games with stuff like beyond good and evil, prince of persia (ps2 gen) or splinter cell 3. all those games are master pieces... and all of them came without weird preorder bonuses, Microtransactions, bugs, online instalation and they are fully on the disc.

I feel a little burned on shredders revenge. I ordered it on limited run a while ago and after that several other versions came out that are more completet...
