I'm not surprised, I'm glad I passed on this one. I'm too busy with Galaxy 2 anyways.
Pokemon has lost all appeal to me once the quality got noticeably worse. I would say the series needs a change of course, but it's way too successful for its own good.
@batmanbud2 its always weird to me when people act like Nintendo are politicians raising taxes or something because they don't want to pay full price for a game
10. I think these are the best 3D Mario's because they hit the perfect balance of difficulty without it being as frustrating as Sunshine or too easy like Odyssey.
I also think the level variety and music are amazing.
@benmalsky198 why not? If its already ready made, then why not include it? Smash Ultimate launched with 84 characters, including Pac Man and Mega Man for free, so why can't they be in Sonic Racing day 1?
@kailun Mario Kart 8 had DLC early on adding four cups, 200cc mode, and characters like villager or inkling. The booster pass was the one that came later.
It's a given that World will get more since Mario Kart is one of the most successful franchises ever. Sonic will most likely be abandoned in a year since it's just not as popular of a franchise despite the vocal minority wanting it to be so.
@LastFootnote I doubt that since Gameboy was still very successful even during the rise of 3D. They still had 2D Zelda games around then via the Oracle games.
That was pretty quick, I thought he would have a ten year long run at the minimum.
I hope the new girl does a good job. I personally don't care if the presidents have as much of a known presence as Iwata and Reggie, I just care if the games are good.
@N00BiSH Exactly, when I saw it has Mario Kart and Donkey Kong, it just felt like it was the film equivalent to their amusement park. I also wasn't a fan of the celebrity stunt casting. When I hear Seth Rogen, an actor with very little range, doing the voice of DK, I just hear Seth Rogen.
I honestly thought it was a prequel to the DK Arcade or the Mario Vs DK series until Cranky, Diddy, and Dixie appeared.
I guess this game is sort of a soft reboot while the Rareware era one is no longer canon. If the Dk Arcade was Cranky, then how is Pauline a kid while hes old when she was a grown woman in the Arcade?

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Play NES Games These Days?
I own a top loader NES as well as bout 40 games for it in my retro collection.
I understand the convenience of emulators, but I really do prefer the atmosphere of playing it on an old CRT in a dark room at night.
Re: Poll: Is It About Time Game Freak Added Voice Acting To Pokémon?
@Res462 this especially fits well with Pokemon, which was always better as a more pick up and play experience.
I miss the simple days of just becoming the champion rather than having to fight interdimensional aliens or whatever.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 May Clash With Metroid Prime 4
Never cared for Assassin's Creed, had open world fatigue for a long time now.
Metroid is an easy day one for me, I'm even saving a sick day for it.
Also I misread the title as "Metroid Shadows" which is unironically a cool title.
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
I look forward to people calling Nintendo tyrants for taking legal action against the hackers
Re: Surprise! Dragon Ball FighterZ Is Adding Another Fighter To The Roster In 2026

Re: Review: Yooka-Replaylee (Switch 2) - Feels Like The Game It Was Meant To Be, Finally
I enjoyed the demo on Steam. I really like how much dead filler space was cut out from the levels.
Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
Brand new AAA priced games? Usually about 3-5. This year I got Doom The Dark Ages, Metal Gear Delta, Mario Kart World, and DK Bananza.
Re: Nintendo's Out To Get $4,500,000 In Damages From Ongoing Switch Piracy Case
@axelhander yeah, inspiration is what leads to new ideas, and artists should have full ownership over their art.
You might as well argue that property rights just exist to harass burglars.
Re: Nintendo's Out To Get $4,500,000 In Damages From Ongoing Switch Piracy Case
@axelhander IP laws are necessary, otherwise anyone can just steal your work.

Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
@MicroMatscenes the sales tell the real story
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
@axelhander where do I go?
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
@LikelySatan Sonic Adventure was a tonal and aesthetic disaster to the series. I miss the simplicity of the genesis era.
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
@AllBLK I agree, mental and emotional issues arent that serious, but this is sonic vs mario were talking about!
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me

Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
@SuppressorSteve a year isn't eight years which was my point. Day 1 DLC is scummy because it might as well be a a part of the base game.
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me

Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
@Fazermint the "nintendo bad" people have been a vocal minority since the N64 days.
They always predict Nintendo's doom and then pivot to blaming mindless sheeple for propping up their success.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
I just got part 2 because I've played part 1 to death, and I haven't played 2 since like 2013
Re: Talking Point: Can Metroid Prime 4's Title Screen Go As Hard As The Others?
I always loved Prime 1 and 2s titles, mainly for the music. I hope they can make another memorable tune for 4.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World
@DanieK only for a short period of time in the west during the 90s maybe
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World
I'm not surprised. It's way overpriced, and Sonic just doesn't have the brand power anymore to compete against Mario.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World
@bluemage1989 the same vocal minority who claimed it would destroy Mario Kart are now claiming sales don't matter lol
Re: Review: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (Switch) - Cracking Karting, But Struggles To Keep Up On Switch
@SuppressorSteve yup, Team Sonic Racing only sold 3.5 mil across all platforms.
Re: Review: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (Switch) - Cracking Karting, But Struggles To Keep Up On Switch
@BenAV played the demo, I thought it was okay. I'd wait for a sale.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 On Switch
Excited for Galaxy 2. I haven't played it since like 2012-2013.

Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Has Been Delayed On All Consoles
Dang, I'll probably wait on this since that's a week before Prime 4
Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Has Been Delayed On All Consoles
@Rainz 7 is above average.

Re: Video: Square Enix Shares 37 Minutes Of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake 'Seabed' Gameplay
Won't be getting it, not a fan of the artistic changes they made to 3HD.
I also think the 16 bit remakes were perfect enough already.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy Advance (GBA) Game Ranked
@LastFootnote I doubt that since Gameboy was still very successful even during the rise of 3D. They still had 2D Zelda games around then via the Oracle games.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy Advance (GBA) Game Ranked
Still weird to me how GBC and GBA never had any original mainline Mario platformers.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Announces Retirement
That was pretty quick, I thought he would have a ten year long run at the minimum.

Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Announces Retirement
@SwitchplayerJohn In what way did he botch the Switch 2 considering its a big success so far?
Re: Opinion: The Mario Movie Was Okay At Best, But I Can't Wait For The Sequel
@NotASockPuppet fair, I'll go with Aladdin instead.
Re: Opinion: The Mario Movie Was Okay At Best, But I Can't Wait For The Sequel
@Ratmasterd21 a simple plot doesn't mean a movie can't be better. Sleeping Beauty is about a hero saving a princess, and its a far better movie.
Re: Opinion: The Mario Movie Was Okay At Best, But I Can't Wait For The Sequel
@N00BiSH now that I think about it, they missed the opportunity to have Jack Black as Wario.
Re: Opinion: The Mario Movie Was Okay At Best, But I Can't Wait For The Sequel
@N00BiSH too late, get ready for Yoshi's character being based on fart jokes and wanting food all the time
Re: Opinion: The Mario Movie Was Okay At Best, But I Can't Wait For The Sequel
@N00BiSH I look forward to Yoshi being the next Jar Jar Binks.

Re: Opinion: The Mario Movie Was Okay At Best, But I Can't Wait For The Sequel
If I had kids I would have seen it, but from the previews it seemed like a pretty shallow film meant to be more of an advertisement for the games.
Re: Do Bananza And Odyssey Share The Same Pauline? Donkey Kong Dev Won't Confirm Anything
