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.

@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.

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.

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.

I look forward to people calling Nintendo tyrants for taking legal action against the hackers

Would have preferred the GT version without the weird popeye forearms

I enjoyed the demo on Steam. I really like how much dead filler space was cut out from the levels.

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.

@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.

@axelhander IP laws are necessary, otherwise anyone can just steal your work.

@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.

@MicroMatscenes the sales tell the real story

@axelhander where do I go?

@LikelySatan Sonic Adventure was a tonal and aesthetic disaster to the series. I miss the simplicity of the genesis era.

@AllBLK I agree, mental and emotional issues arent that serious, but this is sonic vs mario were talking about!

@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?

@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.

@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.

@SBandy1 I can't help it, my blood and bones are made of fiberglass and sugar

@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.

I just got part 2 because I've played part 1 to death, and I haven't played 2 since like 2013

I always loved Prime 1 and 2s titles, mainly for the music. I hope they can make another memorable tune for 4.

@DanieK only for a short period of time in the west during the 90s maybe

I'm not surprised. It's way overpriced, and Sonic just doesn't have the brand power anymore to compete against Mario.

@bluemage1989 the same vocal minority who claimed it would destroy Mario Kart are now claiming sales don't matter lol

@SuppressorSteve yup, Team Sonic Racing only sold 3.5 mil across all platforms.

@BenAV played the demo, I thought it was okay. I'd wait for a sale.

Excited for Galaxy 2. I haven't played it since like 2012-2013.

Business Mario still makes me laugh

Dang, I'll probably wait on this since that's a week before Prime 4

@Rainz 7 is above average.

@MyMemory maybe video games aren't for you

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.

@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.

Still weird to me how GBC and GBA never had any original mainline Mario platformers.

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.

@SwitchplayerJohn In what way did he botch the Switch 2 considering its a big success so far?

@NotASockPuppet fair, I'll go with Aladdin instead.

@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.

@N00BiSH now that I think about it, they missed the opportunity to have Jack Black as Wario.

@N00BiSH too late, get ready for Yoshi's character being based on fart jokes and wanting food all the time

@N00BiSH I look forward to Yoshi being the next Jar Jar Binks.

@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.

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.

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?

Dang, and all the clickbait videos told me MKW was dead

Metal Gear Delta on PC
Mario 3D Land on 3DS
DK Bananza on Switch 2
