@UpsideDownRowlet that made me remember the extremely bizarre and obscure gamecube game made by nintendo in which you are a godly naked giant (you can even see his D1##) that looks like the roblox noob (it was years before roblox was even released nintendo could have sued them if they wanted) in which you can help a village grow or torture the villagers and even kill them or sacrifice them to become some sort of red demon

It was called doshin the giant seems like a fever dream and it really doesn't seem like something nintedo would make at all

@Anti-Matter i love animal crossing the problem is finding the furniture you need to make your creations

But animal crossing nh has the best clothing customization ever as you can literally make your own clothes and if you don't have the patience or precision to make them you can just get them online that's from where i got my link's clothes years before the official ones came

@irken004 if mater from cars was a sh1tty looking tractor

this game looked fun there aren't many qix clones out there and there aren't any other modern takes on qix

why this instead of the tower defense

For a pirate they could have added vyse from skies of arcadia instead

@DiceRobo the main problem is the first part, if the store closes the digital games will become completely unobtainable for those that never got them

They will never be able to experience those games

Look at all the wiiware dsiware , wiiu + 3DS digital games that were left behind

A person that missed a legacy generation can atempt to buy a secondhand Physical game like the old dusty NES and SNES games ( i wasn't even alive on that era) but to get a digital game on a console in which the store is no longer available, they will have to resort to hacking it

I loved epic mickey on the wii it will be awesome to see more people discovering it on the switch 2

I hope they remake epic mickey 2 too but with the ability to swap characters like the lego games it was a pain to have to control both mickey and Oswald by myself since player 1 cannot hack beetlework robots and the ai of oswald is so stupid

@wuntyme8 the last mario basketball entry we had was on the wii
mario strikers and golf were revived so why not basketball too

the name mario slam basketball SOUNDS better and that's the version i had as a kid however the NA cover LOOKS way better i vote NA you can see the court, you can see the sky, you can see donkey kong trying to block that dunk-ey kong, Luigi throwing a red shell, peach throwing a bomb, the coins flying and the basketball net

I don't really know what kind of weird crossover game is that . It has TF2 heavy? Everyone knows him cause is a big meme but only us kids from the early 2000s will remember strongbad

Pokopia seems cool but i don't have a switch 2 i will stick to my old animal crossing

im not someone that grew on the neogeo era and im not someone who went to those old arcades but right now i love retro games with 16bit era sprites and im hunting for obscure good wii games for my collection despite im like 16 years late i will get this one

so far i love the graphic style it reminds me to Hi-Fi Rush and jetset radio

well at least we ended up getting tatsunoko vs capcom which is a big wiin for a console like the wii

i still remember the time where EA made good games and didnt focus on paytowin or predatory microtransactions i might get this game as im collecting random wii u hidden gems

I Don't have a switch 2 but POMBON i love the cute fluffy that resembles a pomeranian

If i ever get a switch 2 and this game i will get the fire doggy looks really cute

@Kyloctopus exactly

If these were game part of the switch online service they wouldn't allow transfers to pokemon home (look on how they broke the main element of pokemon stadium 64 by doing that)

And If these standalone games had save states everyone could create a save state before catching a shiny legendary then transfer the legendary, load the save state and catch another one

That's why the 3ds virtual console pokemon games didn't had that function

I LOVED mario power tennis on the wii
At that time the motions control were something Groundbreaking
It was really exciting to be able to really feel that you were playing those sports

How time flies... i was just a kid at that era

Speaking of the wii i don't know WHY they never released a mario golf for the wii

Seeriously? Not even a new play control remaster of Toadstool Tour? Why?

Oddly enough camelot did make a golf game for wii but was not mario related was called
"We Love Golf!" And some of the characters vaguely resemble those forgotten human characters of the older mario golf spinoffs

@rjejr
The LOCAL mode of disney speedstorm is awesome,

All characters are balanced to the same level and you can chose between all the tracks
But is kinda annoying that it only allows two players and not 4 on switch
Excellent for play sessions with friends

It used to be even better as all the characters were unlocked from the start for local multiplayer (however they changed that in the season of the little mermaid so you could only use unlocked characters cause they were losing money cause people only downloaded the game to play local with everything unlocked from the start)
The regulated mode is good too

HOWEVER disney speedstorm is EXTREMELY pay to win in the rest of the modes is one of the most pay to win F2P games I've ever seen
Getting the drivers and crews to the max level is IMPOSSIBLE without paying

so I just focus on unlocking the character to the minimum possible level in the limited events to use offline and that's it

@boxyguy There is a reason why in animal crossing you have never been able to design custom pants people could use that in the worst possible ways

@Dev-N im glad i never got splatoon 3 but sad at the same time cause i won't be able to experience it before they broke it

@Yosher that update will break the balance
The flow aura could end up being really broken why did they need to screw something that already was good

@phartsy is splatoon 2 better? I've only played splatoon 1 on wii u

@ChaoticIgnorance i always loved chaotic multiplayer

When i was in high school we used to play mario bros u together 4 players and a 5th player on the boost mode where you place blocks and plataforms using the wii u touch screen to help others
But instead of helping he placed those platforms as obstacles and barricades and redirected the enemies against the other playes to sabotage us
Was funny cause we viewed that as him playing as bowser and enjoyed the challenge of overcoming that

We also loved to play nintendo land and smash bros 4 together

@HammerGalladeBro and waluigi?? 🥺

Daisy had been never been playable in a mario main series game and she became playable in wonder for the first time
So waluigi deserves a chance too

Wario was playable in mario 64 ds so would be also a good addition

@Sylamp many people hope the game will be revived with new content the same way as animal crossing

The main problem is the weight that carried in it's shoulders it had some big shoes to fill, the expectations were too high

@automatom there must be a balance

They shouldn't lock a game changing feature behind amiibo like on skyward sword
But they shouldn't make the amiibos entirely useless like on mario galaxy or metroid

Look at tears of the kingdom one of the best examples of how amiibos should work
The amiibo allow you to unlock cosmetics earlier that you can only get on late game (but that you can still get without them)

Or mario maker 1 another good example cause the amiibo get you the extra character swap costunes instantly when otherwise the only way to get some of those was beating random nearly impossible kaizo levels that involved timed levels, precise jumps, booby traps , falling enemy spam, and insane parkour ,ducking shell throwing, spinning shenanigans

I have nightmares of those levels i was never able to fully finish a super expert run

An 1 up mushroom is extremely easy to get in mario galaxy 1 (haven't played the switch remaster but in the wii it was) there is one below the kitchen zone of the comet obsevatory , if you enter the library (cause is the closest room) and then go out that one up mushroom 🍄 will respawn , and you can do that indefinitely i remember that when i discovered that as a kid i felt like i had found the most awesome thing ever

To be honest i thought the amiibo would give you never seen before additional pages of the storybook of rosalina or make rosalina playable in certain levels like in mario 3d world

@Mikeg1965 @AussieMcBucket there are original lego properties that have gotten their own tv series ninjago being the most popular one

Which got 4 games the first one being a DS RTS game which was completely different to every previous lego game the other 2 games were handled games (3ds) and the third one was a nintendo switch game (which i haven't played) that was based on the ninjago movie instead of on the series i don't know if that one was good but i assume not cause people don't talk about it

The lego handheld games don't tend to be as popular as the console games cause don't have the same quality due the hardware limitations

Lego chima was another original lego property the toy figures were weird cause
they had regular with an animal head helmet over them instead of being fully sculped
i don't really know why wasn't that popular considering the furry fandom out there that tends to jump to whatever franchise that has any type Of anthropomorphic animal,
that franchise only got a handled (3ds) exclusive game

Lego nexo knights was another original property that got a tv series and toys

I don't really know why there was never a proper lego nexo knights game only a mobile f2p thing
A game with an open world, like lego marvel and lego lord of the rings where you collect nexo powers would have been really cool

Lego dreams is a recent an original series that would have been perfect for a game with a good story and a lot of freedom where a kid with a green slimething fight nightmare demons in the dream world in never finished that series

There's also lego monkey kid something that is not 100% original since is an based on the public domain tale of the monkey King i haven't seen that one series but is 2d style instead of the usual 3d heavily inspired by asian anime

I don't have a switch 2 but im glad they did a sequel for the old forgotten gamecube game

Interesting concept

I was a small kid in the very early 2000s era, in the early 90s i wasn't even born yet, im from the era of the gamecube (never had consoles from the eras below)

I remember the old medium square tvs and annoying distorting screens that you had to squeeze your eyes or get close to the tv to see things better and that's the reason im nearly blind and i need glasses today

I think this thing should be cheaper for something that is not actually a game

Or include some of those old games but that's more a thing of the satellite tv era and not the FTA tvs era

I remember that in satellite television era i loved playing satellite streamed games using the tv remote , including a something i recall calling "Johnny Megatron" i think it was not actually named that way kids usually misname things and associate it with similar named things (in this case megatron from the old transformers series) and also a game of a rabbit that had ladders kinda like donkey kong and had to avoid some foxes crabs or something

Ah i really loved this anime
And of the games I preferred the wii inazuma eleven strikers and the new victory road (i played the beta)

I vote Europe
While the pose of axel/goenji with the fire kick that showcases his fire power is cooler
i prefer the green ⚽️ pitch background with the goal on the end and the images showcasing some of the players

ooof i was looking for underrated wii hidden gems to get, this one is definitely not one of them , i never play anything lower than 5 stars

@Anachronism If you want a good animal crossing copy then play magicians quest mysterious times, is a ripoff but a good one that even vastly surpasses the animal crossing of that era (wild world)

And very SURPRISINGLY released on a nintendo console (ds)

This game is even more identical to animal crossing has everything that animal crossing has Clothes shop fishes hair salon, clothes shop, flower shop, furnitures, creatures that repeat catch phrases ,a post office , town tune , floors,

But somehow it has more quality of life changes and that were introduced even before the animal crossing of that era had them (pro patterns, unnatural hair colors like green blue and purple)
Heck even some of those aren't still on the newer games like being able to storage up to 100 of every single individual item, or being able to customize pants, or making a villager follow you (when you chose to)

Has an actual plot ,magic classes where you can learn spells, vehicles for transportation, more species aren't just animals, like flower folk , demons, zombies, cake folk, (they are randomized like on animal crossing), more personalities (making each villager feel more unique) you are actually able to play music, and weirdly also romance one of your villages using the love potion

Also one thing that i like about this game is that you can transform your wand with spells into

The fishing rod ,the bug net, the watering can and the shovel Which means you have more space and you don't have to carry those around

Also it had noseless player characters

Can't really believe how good and underrated it is and also can't believe that nintendo didn't sue konami and even allowed them to publish that on DS

However i don't think this Playstation game will be as good as any animal crossing game

the game is only fun if is played with 2, 3 or more players in single player gets boring , the game itself is not bad just not outstanding, i remember that some parts were hard playing solo, also the costumes of humanoid characters like jasmine, alice , aladdin and jack sparrow look good, but the rest costumes look horribly weird ,like simba , mickey , mike ,nemo, wall-e , looks like someone killed the character and wore their peeled skin as a hunting trophy prize i would have preferred if they had used big headed chibi versions of the actual character like the funko pops, or like the towsfolk of dinsney infinity that looked like cute bobblehead toys , they also had

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xYkUpIC3Gc0/hq720.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEhCK4FEIIDSFryq4qpAxMIARUAAAAAGAElAADIQj0AgKJD&rs=AOn4CLBYYFGJPypOLKmnDIY9_G1gzSukLg

this is an image of how wall-e and EVE look on disney infinity for reference, keeps the uniformity in size and style

@CanisWolfred the 3d character designs of this game despite being an extremely old game somehow are kinda similar to the ones of the young mystery gang from the 2020 scoob! movie except that shaggy's nose looks different

I Probably won't be able to afford this but i should really play the old original ds version

@rjejr for me it looks really good im on switch 1
I never care if the graphics are sightly below the average or mid as long as the game is fun,

Besides it's a racing game you won't have much time to go landscaping and detailing every single rough piece as everything zooms past you

@Inaroomalone that's more of a skill issue

I was glad that the kart handling was kinda similar to mario kart 8. for the curves you use the drift flicking trick

You start to drift then flick this left and right as you do

The plane handling was what caused me more troubles as is hard to know at what moment to use the boost

The boat handling is not that easy you charge a lvl 1 jump do a stunt and gain small boost the curves are the complicated part took me a while to figure
You must keepn holding the boost button since it slows you down as you move through the curve then release after you have crossed it the timing must be precise or else you will bump against the wall

Sadly while i downloaded the game during the time of the online beta
I was NEVER able to connect online to a single match, this is something they MUST fix i always got ERROR CONNECTION TIMED OUT
BUT i really enjoyed playing the grand prix and time trial modes even if they always were the same 3 tracks
And i still am ,since i wasn't online when the beta ended and never closed the game and never turned off the switch i was able to keep playing the game offline

But i have been fearing that if i close the game it i would lose everything FOREVER

So i had myself locked out and completely unable to change to other games

However do we know if the demo will include all the offline modes that the beta did? Donpa grand prix, time trial
All the vehicle customization options? The same parts, the ability to place stickers and change colors,
The gadgets and all gadget slots?
The rival levels (that oddly never increased more than 8 in the beta)
And all the 13 characters INCLUDING joker

I fear that the demo might not include joker and arsene wing since he is a collab character

I think they should have just added the ability to keep playing the sonic beta offline and the ability to get in and out at any moment without connection instead of releasing it separately as a demo

Like the inazuma eleven victory road beta that i still have in my switch despite it can't connect online anymore, oddly i was actually able to play online during that beta period while i never could with crossworlds , maybe cause it was a 1vs1 game instead of a 12 vs 12 high speed game
I didn't delete that game cause i didn't want to lose my max lvl best bois.... and goldie (not a boi)

@HammerGalladeBro it is still better cause the japanese one is simplistic and boring

Also i had no idea that this thing was only released at Walmart

@Ulysses
I think the main problem here is the aesthetical aspect

Most nintendo games had had colorful environments and characters especially new ips
Like splatoon, arms, wii sports , nintendo switch sports
It would have been better if they used the switch sports aesthetic for the characters
Giving them wide face and hair customization , the futuristic aesthetic and the wheelchair basketball are good concepts but kinda wasted

The colorful vibe and fun gameplay concepts are what differenced nintendo games from the more dark, edgy and gloomy multiplayer titles from other Plataforms

Also it would have really benefited from a story mode, that is not the main selling point of these games but splatoon had it and provided more depth , also would give something to do for those without switch online cause if you don't have switch online buying this game is pointless

If the game is good but aesthetically boring people won't be interested

At least they are not selling this for 80 dollars and is just 20 which justifies the review based on quality price
But i still think should be a 6
We are talking about a nintendo game
Not just a indie game or third party or a shovelware , the bar is high and the expectations of this game were high too

Cool concept but they look pretty generic and boring

The boots should have been done the colors of sonic's shoes but not the bright red and white as those wouldn't work with boots ,they should have been more serious shades of those colors like maroon and grey

I don't mind playing a game that has old and crappy graphics as long as it is good and fun (otherwise i wouldn't keep playing retro games)

But really hate games that are NOT fun and with bugs that cause frequent crashes bugs thaf hinder gameplay and bugs that cause cursed rendering

Can't believe that there were a lot of people saying "this will be the animal crossing killer"

@BlueBCA rubbish? the mario kart world roster is amazing

is a good and varied roster
would you prefer a full babyfied roster , baby waluigi baby wario baby dk
or a roster full of pallete swaps (metal mario gold mario , pink gold peach)

the only thing missing that would make this roster more perfect are the kongs and guest characters from mario kart 8 (link isabelle inklings unless they are saving those for super smash kart)

they have brought pauline and k rool and obscure forgotten enemies from old games like cataquack
and obscure enemies from recent games like stingby to the spotlight

so why not wart (however i would prefer k rool in a mario kart) or tatanga
but i would prefer the buff tatanga with black spacesuit from the nintendo comics
the short tiny tatanga makes daisy look more fragile, wimpy, and weaker than pauline or peach
cause while one was kidnapped by a big ape
and the other kidnapped by a giant turtle dragon koopa being kidnaped by an unimposing cute naked funny purple baby-like alien is ridiculous

or lorewise maybe that's what caused daisy to become a tomboy could be good for an interesting backstory of character development , training to become strong and though to overcome the great disgrace that caused that hidden feeling of shame , doing everything to make sure something like that never happens again

would be good make daisy a more complex character (like how pauline was turned into a more deep character in bananza)

The walugi was my favorite same face shape same kart

The rainbow road one is a unusual but creative and orginal concept

@Dringo pacman VS is already available on switch with full online multiplayer support

@BlaizeV mario power tennis was amazing but i only played the new play control wii remaster (same as with donkey konga, pikmin, and metroid prime) it was really fun with motion controls cause you can aim to where to swing the ball, and used the remote as a racket similar like on wii sports (however on long rounds your arm gets tired) i don't think the gamecube game can compare to the wii version

i still can't believe that mario golf didn't got a new play control wii remaster it was OBVIOUSLY a perfect fit for the wii remote motion controls and many people would have bought it since sports motion games got popular with wii remote
