When a single console has super Metroid, Mario World, Zelda 3, Chrono Trigger, DKC 1-3, Mario Kart, street 2, axelay, earthbound, secret of mana, FFVI... and so many more. There's not much anyone can do against the almighty SNES.

Mercenaries please!
Also I'm very happy about an extra story.

@XXWeskerXX

As you can see in this comment section you're absolutely not on your own there.

I wonder how much the guys who did that are getting paid and also what prompt they used.

I thought the game was good but I really hope they're not going to use this concept in the future.

I'd rather they try a proper 3d platformer next time or even better just do a brand new DKC game. Bananza was fun but 50% of the time it does not even qualify as a platformer per say. Instead of that it's mainly a destroy everything from point A to point B simulator, which is what I feared it would be and it turned out it was the case unfortunately. As I've said it was better than I anticipated though because it definitely has moments of fun here and there but, yeah it is absolutely not up to snuff when compared to the legacy.

Also the art direction wasn't good overall and not having David Wise for the music was a mistake and a very surprising one I might add. How exactly they came to the conclusion that not having him was okay really is beyond me.

@USWITCH64
Yeah I think that's the thing though. Nintendo also considers Yoshi's Island as a Mario game and the Yoshi series as a separate thing. That explains why they never really tried to make a successor to the original. Well there is Yoshi's new island or whatever the DS game is called and it's definitely okay but not the level of effort that would be needed to even come on par with the classic game. It's a bit sad really.

NSMBU still criminally underrated.

Also Galaxy 2 is better than 1 and 64 should definitely be ranked higher.

Also I can understand why 3d world is being included as the switch version but objectively the switch version of NSMBU is not better than the original, rather the other way round.

(Also, as an aside, I don't think it makes sense to strike for over 11 months to get enforceable AI abuse protections and then turn right around and go back to work without them.)

There you go, excellent thinking. Shame on Capcom for this.

I have to admit it looks way more interesting than I thought it would be. That being said I think I really should abandon all hope that they would one day release a successor to Yoshi's Island, still one of the best 2d platformers ever.

The ability to combine 2 badges when the first thing I did after booting the game up was going for a badge free playthrough and never looked back.

I can tell this dlc was made for me.

@Ryu_Niiyama
Does the story come to a satisfying ending though? I kind of hate when games don't finish their stories and just go like see you next time even though in most cases they're not even sure there's going to be a sequel.

@tblal
Okay I didn't know where exactly they changed the way they do it. That explains why I love the N64 dpad so much. I swear looking at how few games on that console actually use it, that dpad has no right to be this good.

Man I love this game.
The occidental one lacks the line drawing of the Japanese one but the composition and the background, basically everything else is just so much better.

@Vyacheslav333

There they are. It's a great pad but the central part is sold separately. The comment in this review about the clickiness of the buttons is also true for these and the features are pretty much the same, gyro nfc and HD rumble are all there and work as expected, they have great hal effect sticks and they are compatible with NS2 except if you want to attach them to the NS2 you need adapters. The 2 octogonal and circular stick bases (1 for each joycon) and the 2 dpads are all included with the controller. I've checked and the brand new M12 joycons don't seem to have the option for interchangeable stick base so if you really want this feature the M6hd are a better option.

@Misima
Quite a lot of people consider the + shaped d-pad much better than the circular one.

@Vyacheslav333
Something I absolutely loved about mobapad M6 HD joycons for switch 1 (and 2 thanks to adapters) is that you could change the faceplates to have either octogonal or circular basis for BOTH sticks. And that's on top of the option to change the traditional dpad for a circular one just like the chitu2 here. I bought a central part for my M6 HD (from nixy actually, but mobapad also has a central part of their own) so that I can attach them together and actually use it mainly as a controller and not attached to the switch. Love them. I'm not sure if the new M12 (the switch 2 equivalent that just came out) still have this feature though.

@ArcticEcho
Yes they exist. Mobapad released joycons that gave you that option. They're awesome.

This one has been on my radar! Super excited for it!

Voice-over is pretty awesome in this game. The type of quality that's not that common in video games.

Who knows we might be getting sound options better than a unique toggle from "normal" to "loud" for the music. Maybe we'll get actual sliders? As in more than one? A man can dream.

For a minute there I thought it was a sequel to the end is nigh. I already had my credit card in hand when I realized it wasn't.

The short answer is a resounding yes.

That's nice to hear!
I hope they will nail the aesthetic, as in artwork and music, that's the only real concern I have about this game.

I kind of hoped they would do a double pack with 7 and 8. I already own 9.
Oh well I'll wait for inevatble sales.

Oh noes.
I was really hoping for New Vegas. This game was brilliant and absolutely deserves a return.

@Sylamp
I think X/Y had some real large appeal for some reason. Myself I don't play pokemon and X is one of the two pokemon games I've played. Most people really like these games.

Oh I did not realize this was a new game. That's awesome, and I see Anamanaguchi is there at it again with the soundtrack!

@KonsumAG
A good old proper full fledged nintendo freaking direct that's what's left my man!

First a partner showcase then a pokemon presentation and next is an indie world...
We all know what's left now.

I've played a lot of Ridge Racer 64 and loved it! I also remember giving type 4 a go back in the days and I've played some emulated arcade games, I'll be happy to give this one a go at some point in the next few months probably.

The originals have an old school line drawing that makes them very cool but in terms of composition I always thought X and Y were above the rest.

Never played forever but absolutely loved super meat boy it's a classic in my house.

Apart from the hair which is clearly better on ps5, the lights and how they reflect could very much be just a matter of taste to be honest. It is very well done.

I typically don't play Pokémon. I've played like two games in the whole series from start to finish and they were Blue and I believe it was X not Y but yeah one of these two. They were quite good but it simply never was a priority for me and now that I have even less gaming time I'm not starting now.

THAT BEING SAID. If I ever play these I'll definitely start with Browt. Look at this expression on his face he looks so serious/jaded he is awesome. And also good batch overall.

It's very impressive.
Also for those wondering they have fixed their motion controls mixed with inverted camera shenanigans from the past couple games on switch.

The game looks and plays really well I can't wait to dive back into it.

@Oppal21
As I've said I like that it's b-movie material, it's not a problem to me.

@Olliemar28
Hey there there's just a couple things I was wondering about. First how are the motion controls in general ?

And also and most importantly is it possible to have the Y axis inverted for the camera AND the motion controls NOT inverted at the same time ?

It wasn't the case for RER1 and 2 which made the motion controls pretty much unusable for inverted gamers. Has this issue been solved here?

My take is that it would be a pretty good idea even from their pov but really they probably feel like it's one of their only remaining brand defining franchise and they probably want to keep it.

I've got two questions though.

1 - Does it have motion controls?

2 - Is it possible to invert the Y axis for the camera in the settings while having the motion controls not inverted? Or are they strangely tied to one another like it was the case in the switch version of RER1 and 2?

Wah.

That's it that's all I have to say but it means I'm happy.

I thought we all agreed the plot in RE is just stupid fun to be honest. I like it but it's not to be taken very seriously. It's like zombie b-movie stuff.

I hear Innsmouth is nice and Jack Bros is the other really good game next to Wario. Mario Clash is supposed to be nice arcadey fun also so good things are coming.

I'm an avid NSO user and yeah, that's absolutely beyond me.
I'm glad for those who see value in it though.

looking at the picture of the Wii U Pro controller

Dude look at this beauty.
I don't care what anyone says this is still the best shape and button layout for any controller ever. So comfortable. So nice for 2d and 3d games alike (as in dpad focused and twin stick games alike).

I dream of a perfect controller to end all controllers, the shape and button layout of the WiiU Pro with the plastics and buttons of the NS2 Pro.

That would basically be the NS2 Pro and the WiiU Pro having a baby. I keep leaving those two in the same drawer at night hoping they would socialize and maybe something could happen but no luck so far. I don't get it they're both so smart, nice and sexy.

This should have been improved upon, not just replicated.

It's okay to admit the VB made many things wrong Nintendo. You do mistakes Nintendo and it's okay, you're not god.

Thw two biggest mistakes imo : no headset and no controller. I would have loved a VB controller. Why is this console the only one that is not getting its NSO controller? Also as people have said, if you bought a 64 NSO controller once the service is down you still get to keep a cool controller that's already compatible with pretty much anything under the sun. The VB though? Once the service is done all you have left is useless plastic and pretty big at that.

@Lynel_Richie
I agree it's one of these instances where Nintendo does not really align with its own "we care" reputation they like to pretend they have.

We know for sure that interactive screens are a detriment for developing brains as you said. Some say no screens AT ALL before three. That said, for a bit of fun with mom or dad here and there and as long as it is accompanied by the adult and not just leaving the kid with a screen in hands, then I guess I'd rather stretch Mario's face for a couple minutes with my boy and have a laugh rather than showing him something that is not appropriate.

Now I want an N64 thing with a middle part that sticks out from under the unit. That would so stupid/awesome.

@Solid_Python
Nice. Does it lose it quality much while running at 60?

@brakeman90
I agree. Not only snes and GC but retro gaming in general is 60fps land. Except for the 64 and the psx that is. Those two were pretty terrible at that.

No online on a system that natively has something like gamechat is a little baffling.

Thomas Mahler: "Oh hey! It runs. Now we just need to make it run well!"

Good on you man, that didn't seem to bother bethesda last time.

Funny they would specifically mention Hz and not fps. I wonder how this runs overall because of that. Time for digital foundry to educate people with a video about this update!

VF and SF on Nintendo <3
