@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

Mega Man alone has enough characters for his own racing game.

Seriously though Capcom. Megaman 12, please.

@N00BiSH I said 2 was more linear than 1, not that 1 was as linear as the previous two games.

The main point is that Galaxy 2 is received more favorably because it offered entirely new content rather than remixing previous content. Closer parallel to TOTK would be new super Luigi Bros U.

@N00BiSH you say that, but one sequel offers entirely new content as well as a different approach to the overall level design emphasizing challenging platforming over exploration.

Galaxy 2 is closer to Majoras Mask than TOTK.

@SirLink yup, nintendo has no other games planned at all, they're capping the switch 2 with mario galaxy remasters

@N00BiSH Galaxy 2 has all new levels which sets it apart.

TOTKs problem was reusing the same world map with minor changes.

They would be closer if Galaxy 2's hub was the Observatory, and the majority of the levels were just slight remixes of all of Galaxy 1's levels.

I think people are being too harsh. I don't mind that they want to add some variety, I mean a few months ago the complaints were about how the game looks too similar to Prime 1.

From the majority of the gameplay we've seen, it still looks like the core Prime experience and not another Ubisoft esque open world. So I really don't see a reason to worry, but then again some people act like the EMMI sections ruin Dread even though for me they had very little impact on the overall experience.

@USWITCH64 people who unironically think this game will bury MK World are in for a rude awakening.

the irony of this as they release this game on Switch 2 lol

@ShadLink anytime I played a Sonic racing game, I thought it was just okay at best. It just made me want to play Mario Kart instead.

Way overpriced for some upscaled ports. These should have been remade on the level of Spyro and Crash's remakes. Or at the very least just sell them for half the cost.

What makes it more annoying was how the Wii U shop version went for like 15 bucks each, and you can still find physical copies of each game for about the same price on ebay or your local retro game store.

Not that great tbh. Only thing I'm really happy about is Metroid finally getting a date. Pretty underwhelming for the first direct after the Switch 2 launched.

@NicolausCamp I think 3-4 hours of no combat is a boring way to start a JRPG

@jwfurness at least the wii u ports had the excuse of being stuck on the wii u, but I don't care for these when I can already play the original on switch 2.

Lol i can imagine all the hate click videos titled "SWITCH 2 MAKES YOU GO BLIND?!?!"

Hopefully they reimagine that intro lol

Is it summoning monsters at all or only if it looks too similar to the way pokemon does it?

I feel like whenever Nintendo is in a controversy, too many people give uncharitable takes to justify their bias against them.

@MonsterMike c'mon, the dude even said hes happy others are enjoying it, it just wasn't for him.

Played it on PC and it was mid. Its laughable that some people think this will overthrow Mario Kart.

Let's gooooo MP4 release date

@Suketoudara temper expectations, remember the flaming chibi robo

Compared to how dull the 3DS and Wii U launches were, I think having Mario Kart and Donkey Kong within the first month is pretty good, both games combined have given me nearly 100 hours worth of fun and I'm still not done with them.
