This list is awful. Mario party jamboree is listed and Mario party 3 (the best in the series) is not even on the list?!?!

Gameboy Tetris over NES Tetris.................really?!?

To me, remakes only make sense if the original copy is well over $120, or more than double the original cost when released. Preservation and access would be nice though.

It's like Hollywood and the music industry. No one wants to take a risk anymore. They all want easy money.

@rvcolem1 that is a good point! I never thought of something like that.

YouTube on switch and smart tv is not user-friendly at all compared to phones and PC. I will never understand the appeal.

It's ironic how hated Luigi's mansion was by the general public when it was originally released.

To me it is a metaphor of how Nintendo will commit to making games without any difficulty at all, making it easy for a baby to complete.

I miss the old school Nintendo difficulty.

My only beef with this game is that if you bought 3D all-stars and this, then you will have 2 copies of Galaxy. That is why I avoided 3D all-stars. I already owned Mario64 and Sunshine.

Why are so many gamers so excited to buy the same game multiple times?

@KoopaTheGamer I own the original as well. Took me 10-12 months to get it lol. I haven't noticed any decline in my gameplay. I have noticed that a lot of people have mixed feelings on that controller.

My only beef with it is that it is awful for Dr. Mario 64. Even the D pad. The original controller D pad is most optimal for that game.

This is a breath of fresh air, given the state of the industry today. I wish more companies did this.

Only a gamer would buy 3 copies of one game on 3 different consoles of the same game.

The fact that people are actually excited about the Virtual Boy is concerning. If Nintendo offered dog turds for $60 someone will think it's a great idea.

@Robot99 I would crap my pants if Nintendo releases melee. They hate that game. It would be cool though.

@N00BiSH if it makes you feel any better at least it is Chris Pratt doing the VA 🤣

One of the most underrated games, ever!

I remember being amazed when I first saw the Mario 3 map!

@datamonkey nothing. Just making a joke how Nintendo can "brick" your system if you violate their ToS.

Cool! Now I can have both a bricked SW2 and bricked Game Boy lol.

While the controls and visuals for Rouge Leader were the best, I felt that overall Rouge Squadron was a better game.

SEGA just has to start producing amazing games. To desire a console first is too much too soon.

I'm no tech expert, it might not be an issue now but it could easily be an issue 4-5 years from now.

@PharoneTheGnome @Medic_alert I see what you mean. I always knew there was the "last chance" crowd but I guess there are far more of them than what I realized. Or far more casuals than expected. i guess the switch was mostly a fad.

@Antraxx777 yes. At least this is what my wife's uncle tells me. He was an engineer at IBM. He just recently retired.

I am puzzled and don't know what to think in regards to MK8D sales steadily increasing, at full price, after a new console and new MK. Are people clueless about SW2? Are they not willing to spend the money, even though it's just a few bucks more and assuming they are purchasing a new SW1 console as well.

If IBM is successful with their SuperComputer, it will obliterate AI over night. If IBM fails someone else will succeed. Unfortunately it is the future.

I love how the GameCube is most people's favorite console when, back in the day, you were the biggest loser for enjoying the Gamecube and not playing Halo.

@sethfranum With how scummy GameStop is I refuse to support them. Most of the gaming community agrees GameStop is awful.

@cvrator do you really think that? Of course we have choices. You don't have to have one on launch day. You don't have to have sw2 with a staple in it. Don't let corporations convince you that you have no choice.

The real question here is why are people buying SW2's at GameStop?

@BTB20 I am not a SW2 hater and you're treating me as such. I'm telling you is that it was foolish for people to say that the launch would be a failure before the launch and it's just as foolish to say it's going to be a success after the first month with record-breaking sales. It's best to not to live in absolutes.

Your right about steam deck.

In regards to the ratings I used NL. I should have clarified that.

Yes after tears of the Kingdom for the most part there's been a ton of frame rate issues, or overpriced remakes/remasters, or game design that I didn't agree with. Mostly it's the game design for me.

According to brave browser AI 43% of switch users are between the ages of 25 and 34. You know what else is happening in that age group? Marriages, kids, mortgages, retirement, auto loans, student loans, etc. Most people probably have the money to pay for it but it doesn't mean it's a wise investment as you age. Or even have time to play it. I was not upset at the price increases because it matches what it should be today. But I have learned over the years that's not worth paying $80, or even $60, for a game that's only 15 to 20 hours worth of content, for the most part. But that's just me.

I know it's antidotal but most of the people I know that haven't purchased a Nintendo product since the late 90s bought a switch. Can Nintendo retain them?

So far Nintendo retained 2.3% of their customer base in one month. it cannot be denied at how much of a great achievement this is but there is still a long way to go. The diehards are mostly happy, and that is needed, but just because they're happy doesn't always mean the product is going to be a success with the "wait and see" crowd.

@BTB20 SW1 had people that hadn't bought a Nintendo console since SNES or N64. How many of those people will jump to SW2? How many people will choose steam deck over SW2? Will parents keep buying it for their kids even though their bill have doubled or tripled since 2017? Do people that have kids even have time to play video games to justify the purchase? Most first party games since TotK had serious issues. Maybe I am old but I noticed that since the Wii, Nintendo games are not anywhere near as good as they used to be. MKW is one of the lowest rated kart games since MK64. What is the definition of success after the SW1?

Only time will tell.

This is a great start for Nintendo but we still need a good 2-3 years to determine if it's a successful console or not.

Nintendo's customer base has grown substantially since 2017, which also means that the percentage of die hards that will buy no matter what has grown substantially as well. The die hards are always the first people to buy a new product, they are the first group in sales. The second are the "wait and see" group, and the third group always buys just before the product is pulled from the shelves. The real question is how many people in the second group with continue to support Nintendo.

Double dash is good game but it is overrated due to the custom character items which unintentionally created a meta and spoiled the game.

PP/King Boo, Koopas, Toads, were the best. Mario Bros, Yoshis, princesses, were just meh.
Wario Bros, DKs, Bowsers, babies, were awful.

The tracks were amazing though. And
bomb-om blast.

@JCLKaytwo Poorly, too tell you the truth. I always get burned by nostalgia, however, SMK is the Mario kart game I have revisited the most compared the the rest and it isn't even close. It is the only game I know I will always play at least once a year for a few weeks.

Mario kart SNES is the best in the series. Best controls, number of items, and racing. It's a racing game with items instead of an items game with racing.

Best Mario Party hands down!

I can easily afford the new prices but it doesn't mean that I can justify the purchase, especially since I cannot sell a Kirby game that is $40 over priced and beaten in 10 hours. Or a poorly made paper Mario game that runs at 30 fps. with a controversial combat system.

I spent a ton of money by taking a chance on switch games. Half were duds and I learned my lesson back around 2022. Saved a ton of money since.

@N00BiSH @Spider-Kev this is why I have always regarded Mario Kart SNES as the best Mario kart in the series. It gives the rest of the pack a chance to catch up without punishing the first place racer.

Mario Kart SNES is a racing game with items, whereas, the rest are items games with racing.

@Truegamer79 for me the worst part is that it is download only. In ten years Nintendo will pull the plug on switch 2 eShop and this game will be forever gone. We do not own our games.

It's hard to get excited for a console that prevents ownership of its games.

Oh boy, another Saudi owned business.

@N00BiSH Thanks for the vid! The FDS is much higher quality than the NES, however, the musical notes are, too me, far superior on the NES. Definitely less was more when it comes to this soundtrack. The FDS sure used a ton of high frequency pitches.

The FDS sound effects are awful haha. Lots of buzzing sounds with the FDS

I am cautiously optimistic. From watching the demo I noticed some serious issues. Long, straight, boring, roads is one of them. I hope it turns out well.

Technically, isn't it too early to judge switch 2's lineup? I think we need these games out for many years to determine if it was a good launch or not.

As of now I would say GameCube with SNES at second place.

@N00BiSH I completely agree with you about DK being a big deal. I love DK. I don't think it is wise to even mention a possiblity of making comparisons to BotW and TotK, which are in the running for GOAT games, and we have only seen a few minutes of a DK trailer. Let's wait and see.

@FishyS I always knew that DK on SNES was big, but after looking at the numbers of sales between the two franchises, I didn't realize how massive DK was! Minus country returns, I have noticed a trend where DK sales fall and Zelda has been rising. However, BotW and TotK were the first games since the original that was truly open world. Too me, that's what Zelda is supposed too be and Nintendo strayed away from that for decades. The last time DK made top ten system sales was DK 64 and it is 5th I think. DKC was 3rd for SNES. Since 64 DK hasn't made the top ten list in any console. Bananza, to me, is well needed innovation that DK hasn't really had in a long time. Bananza could be huge but I think we need to let the dust settle before we make comparisons to BotW/TotK, which are GOAT games. Metroid could be big but they don't have anywhere near the sales of DK and Zelda have. But anything can happen.

I don't believe this. We are honestly having a discussion where a DK game carries the same amount of weight as Zelda? Is this article for real? Both MK8D and BotW were lightning in bottles.

Honestly tariffs have little effect if starting price for games is $80 download, $90 fake physical. That is what people should be outraged over.

@ThisisJosh US national debt is 36.6 trillion.

I do not like the back buttons at all. I tried it once the first year I got the switch on a third party controller and I was accidentally hitting those buttons all the time.

@SirLink thank you!

Consumers forgot how to adapt. If we don't then Nintendo can do whatever they want. For example, I now have a kid and I don't always have time to play. So I picked up competitive melee. I only get a half out or so play but I can practice my tech moves, play some slippi etc. Easy on, easy off. The game has been around for 25 years and it isn't slowing down.

Nintendo needs to give me a reason to buy their products. I can get my fill elsewhere.

I hope most Melee TOs will learn their lesson after this. Hax$ was treated unfairly for far too long.
