Is the booster pass live yet?

Haven't played anything new since Kirby, Pokemon just wins by default for me since nothing else appeals to me for the rest of the years new releases

Wish they just stuck to Mega evolutions, this just feels like a less interesting take on Z moves which were already less interesting than Mega evolutions.

Personally I just tired of MK8, the poor item balancing online ruins the competitive fun of the older games

Rarest games I own are Dragon Warriors 1-4 for NES, I would never trade them in.

I also have my original copy of Pokemon Yellow from 1999, whenever I boot it up it takes me back to coming home from school everyday to play it while watching Pokemon on YTV.

Eh I could never get into this series since I feel the combat is too much of a cluster of flashy moves and characters repeatedly shouting.

I'm happy though that it's successful, it gives a lot of value to the Switch.

Hyped for Waluigi Pinball! Easily the GOAT of all Mario Kart tracks. I hope they add Wario Stadium or Bowsers Castle from 64 next.

I just wish they stuck with Mega evolutions, I remember being excited for the possibilities of other Pokemon using it.

I like the NA one because at the time it was mind blowing for me seeing Samus in a 3D render, it captures that feeling of the series jumping into the future.

The Japanese one however is better for giving Samus a more action based pose, it fits with the series transition into 3D like its Samus jumping out at you.

Aside from Metroid Dread, I think Kirby And The Forgotten Lands reveal and Smash Ultimates teaser were some of my favorite moments

@StarPoint this was the biggest for me as well, never would I have thought we'd see a totally new sidescroller Metroid.

I wish Nintendo would make another game like Starfox Assault

@Thomystic it's a new game, it just has some of the old level themes. Nothing like NES remix.

We're never going to get a sequel, Sega insists on their mediocre 3D Sonic games instead

My biggest problem with the game was how short it was and it felt like it had less level variety than 64. From a technical standpoint it played and looked amazing, even today it looks great for a 20 year old game. It was obviously rushed like Wind Waker because the N64 was a flop and Nintendo wanted the Gamecube out the door ASAP.

I transferred all of my Wii virtual console downloads to my Wii U which covers a lot of stuff, all I really have left is GBA, DS, and Wii games.

@karatekid1612 just beware the pins can wear out after only a about a year of use which requires replacing them. The biggest myth of NES games glitching back in the day was dust in the cart, turns out it was the pins all along. I have a top loader from 1993, and games play like a breeze on it.

Nintendo sports games peaked with Mario Golf World Tour.

@EarthboundBenjy the worst part about it is that once the game is complete, the online is practically dead. Takes me like five minutes to find a match on Mario Tennis Aces.

@Mauzuri you can't really talk about mediocre disappointments when you have an avatar based on the Sonic games lol

I'm starting to think a Lego Mario game could work pretty well

@karatekid1612 I prefer the top loader for not bending the pins on cartridges

@NintendoWife I was one of the rare scrooges who hated it as a kid when it was new, my parents loved it though. Mario Kart 64 made me fall in love with the series instead, so many good memories with that game.

Controls perfect on the snes game? It feels like driving on ice.

@Olliemar28 for you maybe, I couldn't stomach more than five minutes of that terrible forced edgy writing.

Can we just somehow make it a law where netflix is not allowed to adapt anything?

I love the directs, it's the only gaming news I get really excited for

This should be the standard, removing it with no option was always stupid

I think DS for me because I played it the most. MK8 has the best content in terms of characters and tracks, but I feel the item distribution is unfair and the tracks require too much sharp turning.

I just want Waluigi Pinball and Wario Stadium 64

Sad that the Wii Virtual Console ports were higher quality

@-wc- here you go https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/2017/nsf17310/static/digest/png/figIa.png

The game looks fun, but the price is a bit too steep for me right now

@JohnnyWarbux there is no gender or race conspiracy, women don't pursue careers in STEM fields as much as men so you won't see them a lot In those fields, and minorities are a minority so it's basic math why they're not as present.

They have no obligation to since the series never sold very well and since the fanbase is mostly a cult following, most of them have already played the fan translation instead.

it was defining in the sense that it almost killed the franchise and lead to great games like Samus Returns and Dread being made, and now Prime 4 is finally in development.

Real talk though, I remember the first trailer looking cool, but once it started getting story heavy I knew it was in trouble.

it honestly feels surreal that were soon going to be playing a new four player TMNT beat em up.

I hope they add Casey Jones as a playable character

@OrtadragoonX I think the problem at the time was that Nintendo didn't want to pay Sony any royalties for having to use their DVDs, so they opted for the mini DVDs to get around that.

Its a shame though, the DVDs would have helped a lot since a common problem for a lot of the games at the time such as Luigi's Mansion, Wind Waker, and Mario Sunshine was that despite looking better, they were short in length most likely because of the limited space.

@BulkSlash I have no problem with sequels, just as long as they refine the formula more and add something new if needed. Kirby Star Allies is an example of a bad sequel(not a bad game, just more of the same) and Kirby And The Forgotten Land is an example of what I want out of a sequel by being both new and familiar.

SNES easily, this was a time when it felt like Nintendo owned the industry with constant hit after hit every year of both first and third party titles.

The N64, GameCube, and Wii U all had great games, but these were no doubt low points in Nintendo's career. The handhelds always did well by maintaining a strong library of first parties with great third party support. The Wii is a bit different since despite it selling well based on it being a brief fad, the support and hype for it died quick from 2008-12.

The Switch is awesome and finally feels like Nintendo reclaiming the throne, I just hope they dont ruin this momentum with the next system.

@victordamazio the problem is it feels more like a mediocre game of that era rather than a good one.

I recently played through the Spyro games as well as Donkey Kong 64 for the first time and had way more fun with them despite them being older. I feel like its kind of a copout to excuse Yooka Laylee's poor level design by saying its meant to be that way.

My biggest problem with Yooka Laylee was how big they made the levels, it takes like ten minutes getting from one side to the other and even longer when you`re combing over the level to find whatever you missed. The feathers also are placed pretty randomly and there are a lot of dead ends.

However, I do look forward to a sequel where they hopefully addressed this problem and designed the levels to be as tight as the Banjo games.

@Patendo I feel you, I played Yooka Laylee until the Casino level and got bored, tried to get back into it twice but I just couldnt be bothered. Same thing goes with the sequel, they just feel so much lesser than the games they`re inspired by.

Banjo and Donkey Kong 64 have way better designed levels that flow much better with how you explore and collect things, in Yooka Laylee I just felt like a rat in an empty field looking for crumbs.

I mean I can understand preferring one over the other, but why trash the other? This is just juvenile.

I think OOT has stronger story content and a better looking overworld, and MM has a really creative story for Zelda standards as well as a good amount of side content via masks/heart pieces. OOT wins out for the story content for me personally, I think MM would win if it had three or four more dungeons.

Personally I think it would have been better if Nintendo scrapped MM on the N64 and fully developed it as the Gamecube's first Zelda instead.

@Nancyboy good thing shes an anime girl not meant to be photo realistic

wow, I don't even know what to say but...wow

Nintendo better step up and make a Mario souls like

I don't expect to see the Final Fantasy games since they just got the pixel remasters, but it would be nice to see Dragon Quests 1-6, Chrono Trigger, or maybe one of their forgotten gems like Treasure Of The Rudras.

as bad as the logo is, I'm more offended at how ugly the characters look with their weird faceapp smiles and overly bulky proportions.

@Specter_of-the_OLED not surprised that a trailer with nothing to show has a stolen logo
