I’m not really a sports game fan…or even sports in general. But I do like a game of Mutant League Football every once in a while. I think it’s fun…though I could see how you wouldn’t if you were a huge football fan.
Let’s hope so! While I don’t think this is anywhere as amazing as Trigger, it’s still enjoyable…and when it connects with the original it absolutely shines!
@CharlieGirl @rockodoodle these are for physical or digital on line or in store. There’s some other good deals too if you’re looking for third party games.
Also I heard from an employee more games will be discounted on Friday.
I’m excited…as I haven’t been a fan of the newer entries. $60…. Isn’t unexpected, but will probably make me pass since I’ll probably get tired of it after 1 game. If the shop splits them up as it’s done with some collections, I’ll definitely pick one up Day 1.
@russell-marlow well, it could go to a slightly updated style…I’m think like the changes in Boy and his Blob, Blaster Master, Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, etc.
Or, they could switch it up more drastically while retaining the concept of the original (Metroid Prime, Kid Icarus Uprising, etc.)
I think they could easily make a game that’s more than a couple hours long-though to be honest I don’t care if it was short either, especially if the price reflected it. I’m not talking about a new Ice Climbers being a 40 hour $60 game. Maybe it’s 5 hours? Maybe it’s $5-10 download only title.
We’ve also seen them do this before…forget the name the top of my head, but it was Excitebike on WiiWare.
I also wouldn’t mind it being reminiscent of an old arcade game. Donkey Kong is just a few levels long, and then restarts. Try to get the high score. They made Yodhis Touch and Go like that.. where you just keep thinking, okay, just one more try.
I’m pretty open! I’d just like to see their return!
I haven’t really played KH since 2 came out like what 15 years ago? But he fights how I remember! His side special is dangerous though! Don’t think he will be my main.
It’s not cheap-but it’s fair. People are going to disagree, of course, but for $50 you are getting heck of a lot of good games to play. You don’t get to keep them, sure, but you really need to look at it as an extra with the main service being online play.
Am I happy about it? No, of course I would have liked it to have been cheaper. Is it fair? Absolutely.
I’m probably too far down for anyone to read this haha, but I think this is being done not to be compatible with a switch pro, but more likely a switch 2.
If you consider switch a home console, Nintendo tends to release new hardware between year 5 and 6. Which would be better March ‘22 and ‘23.
Momentum is still high, which could push this to the latter end of this. But if they choose a style of system that resembles the current switch, it could be a smooth transition. Also an early ‘23 would be helpful with the rush on ps5 xsx dying down (ha-hopefully). Nintendo releasing its next hardware more in the middle of the other next gen systems may be the new normal, and a wise move. Keeping a handheld hybrid would also keep the systems power being impressive in a mid range instead of going all out.
Oh, and you can still use your oled dock.
Remember the new controller patent-we thought it was referencing the n64 genesis controllers? What if they are joycons 2.0?
Given this was before the Switch release, but I did take my 3ds to record part of a Beach Boys concert it was outdoors, daylight, and was close to the stage!
Jim Powers was, perhaps, the last New game I bought on snes. It’s pretty fun, actually…or was in the mid 90s I still have my original though, so no need for this.
@somnambulance I’m glad many of these were posted too. Pulmonary and MK8D…on the go? Awesome!
Though tbh, I could’ve done without NSMBWUD or 3D World…. Or rather get pets off some older games…N64, GameCube, or even Wii games would appeal more to me since I didn’t play through most of them a few years ago.
@Fantasia yeah, I have paid dlc too. Maybe just haven’t played it enough. I’m going to try out The Hive stuff too…I’ve not played too much of those modes.

Re: Mini Review: Dr. Mario 64 - Diagnosis: A Bit Rubbish
Dr. Mario is my first choice for a puzzle game. I love it! 4 is too low for this, even if it’s not the best version of the game.
Re: Review: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl - A Middling Pair Of Remakes
I’m still excited for these. Skipped this Gen when they originally released, then blazed through them years later to get some Pokémon for the bank.
Plus, it means we are one step closer to the remake of my favorite Pokémon games-Black and white!!

Man this game is awesome but, geez, the boss fights are difficult!
Re: Suda51 Says It Would Be "Really Cool" To Reboot Or Remake Nintendo's Older IP
Since Brawl, I’ve been wanting a new Ice Climbers game.
Also-Nintendo could make some smaller games (eg Pushmo) or utilize indies (Cadence of Hyrule) to make things happen. Revitalize lots of these lost IP!

Re: A New Kirby Game Just Leaked On Nintendo Japan's Website
Kirby games are always good fun! Sometimes way too easy, but always fun. The picture reminds me of Mario Odessey. How cool would that be?!
Re: Poll: Do You Call Handhelds Like Game Boy And Nintendo DS 'Consoles'?
A console, yes. If you want to exclude handhelds I’d ask for a “home console.”

Never heard of stone protectors…
