Okay? Never said 2nd was bad?

@mariomaster96

That doesn't mean the New Leaf sales were bad.

@Friendly

Why? New Leaf also did very well if I remember correctly.

I love this game, but I do wish they used British English so we wouldn't have to read about "Fall" instead of "Autumn"

@Darlinfan They probably want to make it feel more special like they did with the Four Swords Anniversary edition (yes, that was free, but still very similar).

For those complaining, it is another anniversary release just like the Mario games are.

And not every game being released recently is limited time. In fact, most aren't. Can people please stop making it seem like everything is only for a limited time.

@Moistnado

They have made it in partnership with BBC Studios, which is a commercial arm of the BBC. The licence fee has nothing to do with this.

I didn't expect to come onto here and find so many people complaining at DW being "woke" when it has been "woke" since it started. DW has always tackled issues in the real world. The only difference is that the Doctor is now played by a woman.

And generally, when people complain at bad writing, all they really mean is that they simply don't like something, but for some reason, they have to blame something/someone rather than it just being a difference in tastes.

@Moistnado

Why? These aren't what the license fee pays for.

These look really good! I am surprised to see that both of them were being released on the Switch. I can't wait!

A reminder that things aren't lazy just because they don't match up with how you want them.

@SwitchForce

And Amazon can probably afford to keep it going.

@PBandSmelly

I mean Amazon has done this in a lot of markets and has made a success with most of them. They might as well try with gaming.

Love each and every game and I am actually happy I get to play them as they were originally intended.

3 games for £50. That's a very good deal in my opinion.

@StevenG

Animal Crossing was pretty big (unless you mean the rest of 2020).

I am loving it so far. The games are really good and I think it is great value for money.

@noobish_hat

Yes, I did read the article. I just don't care about an incredibly minor thing.

I am really struggling to see why this is a big deal.

And I also don't see how wanting to release games that are very similar to how they were originally released is lazy when it is the point of the collection.

I think people are reading way too much into this. This basically tells us nothing apart from that they have a console planned for this century.

@Norwegianguy

I only played some of Super Mario 64 DS. I never finished it so this would be a good chance to complete the game.

I have never played Super Mario Sunshine and I am looking forward to it. It looks like a really good game.

I absolutely loved Super Mario Galaxy and am really happy I can get a chance to play it again. It is one of my favourite games ever!

Playing for free online would be illegal and I'd rather support the industry than complain that they want to make some money.

I really don't care if games are HD or not (which these are - "Mario’s movements are as smooth as ever with HD resolution for each game") . I've played a lot of games before in the past that weren't HD and I loved them.

@Norwegianguy

Or maybe that just isn't what this collection is meant to be. Changing too much wouldn't match with the way they are advertising this game and would go against the theme of celebrating milestones. They are meant to be very similar to how they were originally released.

Slowly and slowly the comments here are turning more toxic. Nintendo could give us everything we could ever want and people would still manage to find a way to complain.

The games are also all HD by the way - "Mario’s movements are as smooth as ever with HD resolution for each game" https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/super-mario-3d-all-stars-switch/

@Wolf_Link

I'm fine with it. I originally missed this so am happy for them to draw attention to it in a separate article.

Super Mario Party. It's one of the best games in the series and whilst it has fewer boards, all of the boards are really good and there are more modes than normal!

@nessisonett

Like most things "emitted" from New Leaf, they were likely always planned to be added into to game, just in a different way.

@TAndvig

How about you just not click on articles that have "rumour" in their title if you are so against them?

@Clyde_Radcliffe

"If it's due to Covid I think fans would be a lot more sympathetic if Nintendo put out a statement along the lines of "due to Covid there will be no more original games in 2020""

What if they do have an original game out in 2020? Also, it would be terrible business practise to release that statement.

Still surprises me how entitled some users are on here.

They don't have to do a Nintendo Direct every few months just to please you. They don't need to release a game that you want every few months just to please you.

People like to forget that Nintendo has released a good amount of games already this year.

Have people here actually played Animal Crossing before? Many of the events in previous games are even more "basic" than this e.g. talk to an NPC and get an item. This is a pretty standard event by AC standards.

@SwitchForce Then miss out. Like every AC, they should be back next year.

Are you sure about the requirements? There has been more evidence that suggests that these are the requirements:

1. It's been at least 30 days since you built the store.

2. You've spent OR sold a COMBINED 200,000 bells.

3. Mabel must have visited

These were datamined and I'm fairly sure the first 2 were in a guidebook for the game.

I am very happy with Mario Kart Tour. I have got another Mario Kart game for free. You don't need to spend any money and you can still get a lot from the game. I have got almost every single character and I don't play that often.

I don't see what's bad about this style of game. If you don't want to spend money, don't spend any. I've got a lot of enjoyment out of it already without spending a penny.

The controls aren't even hard to use with a little practice. It was never going to be the same as a console edition.

@AlphaJaguar I think you need to respect that people might not like everything on this site.

I would have been more willing to get one if the games were exclusive and for the exclusive games to actually be good. Zelda and Mario Kart are both in the Wii U. Splatoon 2 is a maybe, but I still have the Wii U version and don't see the changes to be worth it. I'm rather disappointed.

@NEStalgia I really am not a gamer. I enjoy video games, but am not a gamer so that part of what you said is completely wrong

@NEStalgia literally everyone I know has a PS4 or XBox One and a lot of them are the average person and a lot of them wouldn't care about portability.

@Nintenjoe64 But most will already have a system so it will be cheaper staying with that.

@MailOrderNinja Most people really don't see Nintendo as the best.

@Joker13z Did the Wii U sell well for those games? No.

@ScorpionMG I have not heard anyone mention the Switch, but I have heard many people talk about the games for other systems.

There still isn't much for the average person who already have a PS4 or XBox One. A few first party games? Portability? Are these really that good for people to buy this system?

Again, like other information and games for the Switch, Nintendo has decided to barely change anything or not show enough to get people that are not "major Nintendo fans" interested. I have the game on my Wii U so what is there new that makes me think this game will improve that much? New weapons and stages? No, but that really isn't enough. Plus having to pay for online is just making this game pointless to get on the Switch.

@arekdougy because it is fair for people to criticize things, but it isn't for people to basically say they are completely wrong with criticizing just because they have a different opinion.

Why are people complaining at people complaining? People can and from Nintendo has said at the moment they have a right to. The Switch at the moment is just a disappointment.

@faint you are not listening to me so why should I listen to you. I am saying very valid points, but you, as a Nintendo fan boy , can't accept that someone is criticizing the console with points that you don't agree with.

@faint but why would they? The extra controllers are expensive so can't play games multiple players if they require two controllers each. The games are rubbish and all this system seems to be is a way for Nintendo to make up the money lost from the Wii U

@faint maybe we should all be Nintendo fanboys so you would be happy. We are saying our opinions about the Switch and all you are doing is saying they are wrong

@faint because support for their current gaming system is ending, but for the PS4 and XBox One it isn't

@faint yes, that's why they are unlikely to buy all the things for the switch and continue to use their other system. It is likely the one that they have been using the longest and has games they prefer which will likely be on the other systems (not the switch) that they will want to use rather than buying a whole new system
