@LightSpirit I kinda get that they want to push multi player in that it creates bonds, strengthens the brand through family and friends connecting…. But this shouldn’t be at the expense of solo players. I just don’t have many friends who want to play Nintendo with me.
@JR150 the WiiU was a combination of several unfortunate things- timing with the advent of mobile gaming, poor marketing, unfortunate name…. I loved the system tho. It’s ironic that Sony is now doing well with its version of the Gamepad in the portal…,and is revisiting handheld gaming after its flop with the Vita.
I love it. I have it on Ps5 tho. I didn’t want to wait for the S2 edition. I will buy the cart for the S2 when it goes on sale. If u are on the fence about this, get it! I like Sonic Crossworlds better than MKW in some ways. Tho MKW is more polished, I like the deeper gameplay better. I think Crossworlds is more accessible too long term. You can still progress on the fast tracks by adjusting AI difficulty and modding the cars and slots.
I am axcited and disappointed at the same time. I think they could do a lot more with it with mini games. That said, it’s a clear day one purchase for me. Loved the 3ds version.
I am buying no matter what, unless it just reviews terribly.. I loved it on 3ds. That said, I hope that it progresses from the 3ds version and it’s not just more of the same. I hope it has customization of the island and some cool mini games….
@FishyS I feel your sentiments. I will probably end up getting it just because I want the complete edition and experience. But it’s a bit disappointing that Nintendo keeps pushing this multiplayer experience down our throats.
So, I am happy with the update. I would have paid $20 if it had more substance. I guess they did this as a cheap way to sell this to S2 owners who don’t have this already? I suppose also as a bone to throw us for $70-$80 games as a goodwill gesture. I don’t think it will generate too much cash from the upgrade alone.
@sportymariosonicmixx you can save essential data and archive the game. Download it later when u want to play it. Or if you have Nintendo Switch Online, it saves your data automatically.
@Lizuka exactly…. I only have the opportunity to play multiplayer a few times per year. I know Nintendo wants to encourage multiplayer, but do they have to shove it down our throats?
@GregamanX it doesn’t have to be either/or….i can’t imagine just having one. I like what Sony has to offer, but I love handheld gaming. Yeah, the Switch 2 is slightly lacking now, but things will improve before you know it…
I had very little interest in the 2600 bc i wanted to go to the arcade for better graphics and overall experience. I did end up getting an Atari 400 and later an 800xl and loved them.
I wish they did a Nintendo Land for Switch 2 that would have included Drag X Drive and Welcome tour, among other mini games. I would gladly pay $60-$70 if it had enough content to justify the purchase. But no way was I going to pay for what seemed like two tech demos, $30 total.
So…..I was sold on this bc….well, I pretty much buy almost everything Kirby. I think I have only missed the buffet and the other smaller game in the last ten years. But did we really need yet another direct, an hour one at that?
@MARl0 exactly what I thought…. I watched the video on YouTube and was so hoping they would eventually get to a Switch 2 version/upgrade. I guess it’s cool to have this stuff, but a few bones to early adopters would be nice.
Sonic is by far the deeper game. Mario has an edge for nostalgia, tho I love Sonic too. Mario is also the better looking and more polished game. I can’t say that I like Sonic better overall, but it does have better gameplay and mechanics….
It’s kinda sad that Sonic hasn’t done better. In some ways it’s better than MKW. Love both but Sonic hasn’t done far more depth and better game play. Oddly, I think Mario Kart is far better graphically.

Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
I’ll get it, but so disappointing that it’s lacking in single player content….why is Nintendo doing this…..

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Moves In On Switch 1 This April
Getting it day one for sure. I wish this had mini games or rather, mini games were more of the focus.
Re: Surprise! Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated
Rayman Legends is criminally underrated.

Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period
@GregamanX the Portal is pretty cool….i still think the S2 will eventually be a worthy investment….
Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period
@sportymariosonicmixx I get wanting to have stuff downloaded, but why not archive?

Re: The US Suffered Its Worst November Since 1995 In Terms Of Hardware Sales
@SoIDecidedTo it’s not fair to compare World to 8- 8 was out over a decade. I think World is better than 8 that we saw in 2014.
Re: Random: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Wins GameStop's "Worst Game Of The Year" Award
What they should have done was create a Welcome Tour bundled with some other games like Drag X Drive and charged $60. But make it worth $60.

Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct #2: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate it?

Costco has the Switch 2 version for 10 percent off….
Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
If you count Indies, probably 8-10 per month. I buy most Nintendo 1st party games, so that’s about one per month right off the bat.
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
Sonic is by far the deeper game. Mario has an edge for nostalgia, tho I love Sonic too. Mario is also the better looking and more polished game. I can’t say that I like Sonic better overall, but it does have better gameplay and mechanics….
Re: Mini Review: WaterField Designs CitySlicker For Switch 2 - A Classic Design Lives On
@Grim I totally understand your sentiment, but at least this is in a blue state in a very blue city.
That said, I just got one and it’s very cool! I highly recommend it if you are in the fence.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World
@MamaSymphonia I love MKW too. But I think Crossworlds has more depth.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World
That’s just sad. Sonic is an excellent game and in some ways better than Mario Kart World

Re: UK Charts: FC 26 Scores An Early Winner And Keeps Sonic Racing From The Podium
It’s kinda sad that Sonic hasn’t done better. In some ways it’s better than MKW. Love both but Sonic hasn’t done far more depth and better game play. Oddly, I think Mario Kart is far better graphically.
Re: UK Charts: FC 26 Scores An Early Winner And Keeps Sonic Racing From The Podium
@BaldB3lper78 I bought it on ps5 for that very reason. I figure I can double dip when it goes on a deep discount on Switch 2 version
Re: Site News: So, Where's Our Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Review?
I bought it on Ps5 instead. Might get it on sale for Switch 2 later
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Scores A Free DLC Update This December

Re: Review: Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Series' Best Remake Yet

Re: Sega Reignites Its Nintendo Rivalry In New Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Trailer
Day one buy for me. Generally Prefer Mario Kart, but Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is an amazing game too.
