@Silly_G Agreed regarding the Toads not being playable simultaneously. My take on the Mii thing is that for young-ins the big N wants to foster brand and character loyalty.
No thank you I’ll be taking a trip down happy lane with a 2D Mario platformer I’ve never played in a few days...back log is already 15 games deep so unless something REALLY screams at me it’s a hard pass!
At a time when we are spoiled for choices on the Switch (and the other 2 big ones) not to be overly harsh, but personally I don’t see the draw of this. But to each their own! Honestly, watching that reminded me that Furi is on sale and I should probably pick it up! 😋
I respect any Wii U owners that are salty about full priced ports. Admittedly having skipped the Wii U, I’m in the opposite camp and welcome them. I guess from a business standpoint and user base standpoint, the Switch, not the Wii U, is ironically where the Wii U’s library will shine.
@janpampoen Only because the QOL improvements are arriving this month, I’ll def scoop it up when those hit (plus who knows there might be a sale to draw attention). Great that this game delivers!
Seriously the Switch’s offerings are massive even with its library in its current state (and there’s a small title releasing on Dec. 7th a few ppl are excited about). Legit Star Fox and F-Zero outings and honestly I’d be set lol.
Surprised I haven’t purchased this one yet. There’s so much releasing for Switch that I actually forgot about it! With that said this game looks fantastic and I’m sure I’ll buy it at some point especially if there’s a sale : )
Just for the refreshing change in gameplay I’m going to give this game a +1 and say it’s at least an 8 out of ten for me. I like hard games (i.e. The End is Nigh, Dead Cells, Thumper) and when I play this my only objective is I have no objective - just pure mindless fun 😄
@edhe Please reread my entire comment and try next time not to take it out of context. Once in a blue moon, a false accusation occurs. Again, I pose the question: Why are so many men eager to base their beliefs/opinions on extreme outliers when it comes to victims’ claims?
Honestly my backlog is at the point where the only game for switch I’m buying for the rest of the year is Smash...and yeah, I’ll probably cave during Black Friday/Cyber Monday and buy the Capcom beat em up bundle 😋
I love the platforming areas cause that’s my bread and butter! Helps keep the game diverse and the player on their toes...plus like I said when there’s a challenge room I’m like Oh goody more cells!! More levels for sure...why not...how could I say no to my favorite game of 2018 getting an expansion??
Not that I was going to buy these anyway but uh...yeah this pretty much feels like a cash grab milking these NES games to high heaven after the NES mini.
@Stocksy + 1 on it being the best system I’ve owned since the 80s. It appears some ppl are missing the meta-point here - Nintendo didn’t only get their mojo back, they captured lightening in a bottle AGAIN (the Wii was original and fun, I heard Nintendo sold a few of them...)
I don’t care about shovelware. Don’t buy it then, solved! I don’t care that all games are not cross platform. My backlog like many others here is already too long!
Nintendo delivered a game changer with the Switch. Anyone who plays in handheld mode and says the form and function sucks is literally in denial. And anyone that says Nintendo needs more support...why? Are there not enough games to play of different varieties?Do you only play sports titles and if so why buy a Switch? I never rant like this but holy **** the ******* holy grail of video game systems could descend from the sky and some ppl would still find a reason to complain!
This is really disappointing to learn about. Just because a company is very large does not give them the right to cut costs through unethical practices.
Pick and choose your battles. Donate to a charity/cause of choice at least a little each year. And if this gives us pause to be less materialistic and support unethical business practices less, than that’s more money that can go towards companies with better track records and/or causes we wish to support.
@Paraka In light of disappointing release news with this game wanted to at least brighten your and maybe some other people's days here, as thankfully the song list will be completely identical!

Re: FIFA 19 Cover Star Under Fire Following Serious Allegation, EA "Closely Monitoring" Situation
The #metoo movement is one of the best things to come out of social media. Victims/survivors don’t lie.
Now I bet someone will pull an example of the 1 out of every gadrillion times there is a false report. Why are men so eager and unsettled by this?

@SwitchForce Glad the article was of use!
Re: Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun Will Be Digital-Only In The West Despite Official Box Art Release
@DTFaux I know right!? This is a seriously weird way to localize a game...yeah I can see myself importing it and not waiting : )
@Paraka Fair enough. Yeah, that's not exactly a recent track record that fosters trust in consumers.
