Nintendo made terrible marketing for this game. I completely forgot about this one until last week when they made a post on Instagram saying "7 days remaining". They clearly didn't have faith in it and the reviews show that. I was interested since I like the genre until I saw it was aimed at a younger audience and seems bland in every aspect. It could´ve been so much more.
I would like the next console to be similar but with two versions that can play the same games: one just like the Switch (handheld/TV), and a home console/TV version with better specs.
@bonjong23 I understand that power is not always everything, but from a person who went from Switch to Xbox Series S, I've been enjoying way better games (that are not available on Switch like Psychonauts 2 and It Takes Two) for over a year and spending way less on games thanks to Game Pass.
I’m loving the gameplay but I’m mad at some decisions they made. I don’t see the need of changing the cutscenes and script that much. I can understand they don’t have all of the uncompressed audio files for the music and sound effects, but It’s just too obvious and I wished this wasn’t the case. Last but not least, Toc Man’s redesign was uncalled for. At least the game is fun.
I was able to get a free replacement for my left joy-con that was drifting. But on the right joy-con the SL and SR buttons won’t work and they want to charge me almost as much as a new controller to get it repaired. I can’t use it separately so I’ll buy a brand new one instead at some point.
American Wasteland is so underrated but it’s gold to me. It’s one of my all-time favorite games for so many reasons. I know it has its flaws and development time was rushed, but the quality of this game is better in many aspects. It was the last great Tony Hawk game, after that I just couldn’t care less about Neversoft’s final two titles and Robomodo’s mess
They should’ve announced Splatoon 3 today or shown something new about the game. Smash character was dissapointing, Nintendo is really not listening. Breath of the Wild could have a title already. I was expecting at least Mario Kart 9 or Switch Pro. I didn’t like WarioWare’s character mechanics so I’m not sure how to feel about that game yet. Mario Party did it for me as a MP N64 big fan, but that’s it.
I like this game a lot but they need to fix the controls, they are not responsive enough and it gets frustrating when you try to grab or drop something
@Krambo42 Actually the rounds I played were messy, no one could guess anything. Talking Points did better for my friends and I, but as a pack, it could’ve been better
@BenAV Same, there should be a way to only play Bowser’s Fury for less money, since I already finished the game 100% on Wii U. No way I’m spending 120 dollars in total for the same game. Will wait for a friend to buy it
Nintendo has been doing great this past few years. This year it feels like they are taking A LOT of steps back, and that they don’t even care about customers anymore. After a lot of thought I’m not getting 3D All Stars. I couldn’t even do the Mario Kart Tour mission because the game shows an error when I open it and have even contacted Nintendo about that.
@Tourtus same. I still own it on Wii U, so it depends on the new content to consider spending $60 again. But apparently it has a lot more, the Wii U version was a 1.7 GB game, and the Switch version seems to have a 5 GB file size.
I would’ve bought it if at least the game had the EXP system there. But for a day one purchase I want EXP, a better or classic battle system, and recipes. I miss original characters as well.
I'm against physical games nowadays. I rather have physical games for a few reasons tho: you can sell them, you can get used games for a lower price, you can have the games forever, especially if the publisher removes it from any digital store (mostly for license reasons).
But physical is such a waste of plastic, and things should go digital just like PC. But also policies should be more like Steam, where you can use your games anywhere with your account (as long as no one else is using the same account) and they should always be backward compatible to keep your collection intact and playable at any time.
Think about this: games would be cheaper to publish (no manufacturing, no distribution), we could see a permanent price drop and cheaper games. I hate to hear that we'll probably get US$70 games with the launch of the PS5, and Series X, and digital could help fix this problem.
@link3710 not so sure about Activision being out of it, from what I’ve heard there’s a chance a new deal has been made. And also just found out that Tony Hawk himself brought the idea of the Skateboard controller to Activision back in the day.
Got to play the training part and then got error constantly. Now apparently they took the whole thing down, now it shows that the game is not currently in session. What a mess
Edit: Did anyone found a way to restart the camera while playing with gyro controls?

Jack Black could totally be Bowser's new voice in the games, I would love it after watching this.

Re: Rumour: It Sounds Like A New Tony Hawk Game Might Be Happening
YES PLEASE. I hope Activision make it happen. I want a brand new game with both story and classic modes just like the ones Neversoft did.
I still play American Wasteland and Underground 1 and 2

Re: Jackbox Party Pack 8 Gets Formally Confirmed, Arriving On Switch This Fall
Hope it’s better than Party Pack 7, it left me quite disappointed. Pack 3, 5 and 6 are my favorites.

@status-204 I actually enjoyed the trilogy better than Super Mario 64 when I was a kid, even today.
Re: UK Charts: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Gets Kicked Out Of First Place
I’m so happy for Crash but I want it on PC or Switch to be able to play it. 3D All Stars would’ve performed better if it was a proper remaster.
