For some stupid reason, my brain did not compute that this is a multiplatform release.

Obviously not getting it on Switch then.

@ketrac with varied degree of quality.
Mario Party online would also require being able to reconnect, saving/suspension of games, in order to not be a complete mess.

Hoping for, but not betting on, online multiplayer for Mario Party.

Would’ve been nice if Stadium had Pokemon roms included to play those game and import Pokemon from them, but that would require an effort we’ve never seen from Nintendo services.

@Enigk I thought that was what modern Pokemon was for?!

Aaaah. Those lovely overpriced cards that you’ll never see

It was fine, but Nintendo really lacks a killer holiday title.

Keeping my eye on FF7 Crisis core for december, but that’s not the kind of game I tend to buy for full price.

@Dr_Luigi ah, I get it. I barely even pay attention to those games.

Having said that, Mario Golf 64 is still the best golf game. mini golf in that was awesome.

Good lineup, but the drip-feed continues, which is why I'm not renewing my sub next month.

Want. To. Play.
I don't even want to see any gameplay footage, just experience it fresh.

@Dr_Luigi You can choose to not purchase.
Those who still buy the predatory microtransaction filled sports games are part of a much bigger problem.

While I see your issue, at a certain point, patches are a part of software development.

@progx Neither Bully nor Manhunt 2 were released on Gamecube.
Games weren't made with motion control in mind, only added as gimmics for Wii release.

@Dr_Luigi Ownership is mostly a choice still. I buy games, I have Game Pass. The problem is when you purchase a cloud version, but it has an expiry date that we're not made aware of.

Also heard bad things about Switch cloud game peformance in general.
Xcloud has become quite good and is part of Game pass, while PSNOW is somewhere in the middle from what I read.

Cloud versions as purchases are lame.
It'd be acceptable if it was a subscription service with acceptable price and performance.

@Fizza it's classic Nintendo drip-feed crap.

There's simply too much time between these "waves" of courses.
Hard to get excited for when there's no new stuff.

@progx Wii motion controls were the reasons I never bothered with that system. Also, worse versions of those games.

Shocking. Not really.
Would love to see future Rockstar games on Nintendo consoles. GTA, Red Dead, Bully ( this gem deserves a sequel) and Max Payne.
Bigger library is a win for everyone.

@Moochy Nah. There's room for a variety of games in this genre.

Will I try it? Yes
Will I uninstall it when I realize how bad the microtransactions and season pass business models are. Yes

Could this have been an awesome full feature buy to play game? Yes
Will it be good? Probably not.

@Clyde_Radcliffe You're arguing with someone who argues for the sake of arguing.
60 fps Wind Waker on emulator feels great, don't ever wanna go back.
Can't imagine the pain for those who played Skyward Sword on Wii with 30 dps and no free camera....

@Anti-Matter Name one.

@k8sMum It's pretty much a paid alpha, "rewarding" early buyers with the most expensive skins since Valorant.

People are so easily tricked into FOMO these days.
Quality doesn't matter. Waiting for Outright Games, the makers of terrible licensed games like Paw Patrol to catch wind of this idea.

I have a soft spot for the 90s cartoons. They were just different and similar enough to the world of the game to be fun.

Would prefer a series of 20min episodes. Also easier to digest for younglings.

Anyone who has paid for this deserve what they get.
Ideas for this game are so cool, yet it's a broken Gameloft game, because people are willing to pay for anything

Only two weeks left!!

@Zeldawakening It would totally depend on the content.
The jump from portal 1 to 2 was great - sequel that took the concepts of the first game and built on them in every way, while also introducing new things that fit perfectly.

Portal 1 & 2 are some of the greatest games of all time.
If you haven't played them, get the collection NOW!

I really enjoyed the original, despite the Telltale formula being a bit long in the tooth. Heard Gearbox took characters from that and ruined them in Borderlands 3.

Not feeling this

@MrYuzhai No system will ever be bulletproof. Pirates are gonna pirate. The biggest attempts there have been to avoid piracy, DRM systems lile Denuvo, have only ended up impacting performance or features for legit customers.

@ValZ That’s the poing. Get clicks and engagement, without any actual content.

@Budokai and that is why we lose.

@Budokai One is a re-release for 70 dollars or equilant, one at least has new content.
I don’t agree with Nintendo’s dlc plans either, though for Splatoon, it will probably be included in NSO expansion pass.

For the record, I haven’t bought a Splatoon title, though I enjoyed what little there was in the splatfest tutorial. Splatoon seems cool, but I haven’t dipped because I don’t have the time or neccessary effort required to «git «gud» at a competitive game.

@john_lennon999 We could, and I think we should, but people who double dip make sure we don't. That sweet money.

@westman98 Nope. It's a full price cash grab.

@john_lennon999 You didn't have to, you chose to.
Nintendo shareholders thank you. You're one of the reasons they refuse to give us a proper service, because you paid for it.
Customers vote with their money.

@Ocaz Once I get my Steam Deck, this will be attempted

It's all about how it's monetized, really. A good service will always make paying for it the best alternative.

On the other hand, as we've seen with NSO, that's actually a worse way to play your old game than dumping them and playing on emulators. Nintendo's drip-feed approach doesn't help.

Proper remakes like Link's Awakening are different, as they are different enough from the original game to, at least for me, warrant purchase.

Having recently started replaying my original Wind Waker through the magic of dolphin, I can't really see why I'd ever purchase that, or Twilight Princess, on Switch unless there's substancial improvement made to the games.

If only they could go back in time and remove this "game" completely.

64. It was fun, but didn't have much content or appeal except the "Mario" brand.

Mario kart 8 Deluxe is indeed the best kart racing game ever.
Though, it desperately needs customization options. Custom cups, custom items, custom everything.

Smart move. Unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo makes a good profit on their actual hardware, because of its weak specs.
Now Nintendo needs to bring more games for this holiday!

I'd love a good Asterix game. This still won't be it.

@NTELLIGENTMAN Some people enjoy pain.

PSA: Do not replay Goldeneye 007 unless you want your childhood memories destroyed. Controls have aged like milk in the sun.

Those who pirate are going to do so anwyay.
"By protecting your game with our solution, you force all players to buy it."
Wonder if those who use this can get a refund once it's cracked day 1.

Most anticipated game of 2022!

It's a trap. Do not pay for this. Buy a real game instead.

I'm looking forward to it, not waiting. God plenty of other games to play on PC.
Having said that, Q4 this year looks a little weak for Nintendo, unless they have something that's not been announced yet.

Would I, as a customer, want cheaper games? Yes.
Should Nintendo drop prises on their premium games from a business perspective? Probably not.

One thing they should though, not is price ***** like 1-2 Switch as if it was a premium game. Not every full price game has to have 100+ hours of content, but it should feel like a full experience.

I've enjoyed the DLC courses thus far, but these releases really could've used some more "stuff".
Extra cars, gliders, skins.

Also, give us some custom cup creation for multiplayer. Voting on a map between every race is such a pain.
