Got it this a.m. at Costco. Only $62.99 there

Getting it at Costco discounted to $62.99

This looks like my kinda game. I think I will get it tomorrow.

Supposedly they didn’t get dev kits till recently…..

Not next month bc I have it on ps5 but eventually on cartridge when it goes on sale.

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.

@Striker21 I think that’s why they are making movies and theme park….

I think I will get a good 15 hours out of the new content….

As if we need another reason to despise EA

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.

It’s pretty cool and would definitely recommend it if you like pinball, but I don’t think it’s a 9….

Costco has the Switch 2 version for 10 percent off….

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.

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….

@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.

@MamaSymphonia I love MKW too. But I think Crossworlds has more depth.

That’s just sad. Sonic is an excellent game and in some ways better than Mario Kart World

Enjoyed your content and good luck in the future!

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.

@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

I bought it on Ps5 instead. Might get it on sale for Switch 2 later

I love this game….great to hear. Get it if you are on the fence….

@Rentaro @rewzeku I can’t compare bc I haven’t played this, but Fantasy Life is really cool. It’s charming and can be played in bursts. Tons to do.

Day one buy for me. Generally Prefer Mario Kart, but Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is an amazing game too.

That would be cool if this was at least integrated with Alexa or Siri

Do you have to finish the game to play the DLC?

It was a good month. Don’t sleep on Discounty….

Shut up and take my money….

They should have either developed this more or bundled it with Welcome Tour and several other mini games- charged about $50 for it.

@Pillowpants exactly…. Motion control games just are not my cup of tea. Imo, this game should have been included in a bundle with Welcome Tour and some other games that showcase the new tech and capabilities of this console.

I’ll still get it, but always have to be online? How lame!

@parkerdeal that’s how I feel. I am pretty sure I will get it, unless it just reviews terribly

@Lenzo I missed several generations and bought the WiiU to get back into gaming. Imagine several others like me who haven’t played Nintendo since the 90s. It was something that was probably picked up by default, along with Mario Kart.

@Pat_trick right now, yeah, but what about when they come out with new compelling games? That said, I agree with in that 30 percent or more probably won’t upgrade….but it will still produce respectable numbers. And a few other things….loading times are much faster, speakers are better, screen is bigger, mouse functionality….

@Pat_trick not really. Nintendo hasn’t really ever been about power. Having the power of a PS4 Pro on the go is pretty cool- then to get a boost in Docked Mode with DLSS is nice. For most people this is easily good enough. In fact, for the vast majority of people, the Switch is good enough. If the Switch 2 is going to be a success, it’s going to have to be for its software to convert Switch 1 users to Switch 2.

We have reached the point of diminishing returns. We have not even seen what the Ps5 and Series X are capable of. So, for you, it doesn’t clear the bar, but people like you are far and away a niche. Let’s see how well the Xbox ROG sells.

@Axecon agreed….it won’t be as sticky as Mario Kart, but I bet it will have consistent sales for at least the rest of the year and perhaps beyond.

I went physical bc it’s a dying breed and it was $62.99 at Costco….

I love the sub title, lol….Big DK Energy…..

Hilarious that Tamagotchi Plaza outsells Death Stranding 2….

I have read several other reviews and this is by far the most critical. Most echoed the sentiments, but ended up giving it a five or a six….i will pick this up at a deep discount later on…

@darkfenrir definitely….if they are too cheap to include it free, at least include it on Nintendo Switch Online to avoid the PR disaster that this has become. And same with Mario Kart World. Ok, maybe charge extra for a physical copy- I am thankful for the bundle. But May as an NSO benefit, you get MKW for $70?

It’s sad that people aren’t talking about what a great game it is but instead are discussing the price.

@Dan420 yeah, they still have sever Nintendo first party games at a discount, so I think Donkey Kong will be available at this price for a while. Sorry for the miscommunication.

Mario Kart World, Tetris, Pinball M, Route 96

@jamesthemagi idk how much is actually going on with the other consoles….not much on PlayStation or Xbox. Expedition 33?

Costco had it for $62.99

Looks amazing 😻

I hope it gets some updates. I am deliberately not playing it much bc I want something to do when the magic of the new tracks wears off. It’s cool and I am glad they developed it, but it really needs a little more umph.

I think it’s absolutely amazing. I like the open world, but I share tge sentiment that more can be done with it. OtherWise, I really love the direction the franchise headed. This will keep me occupied for hundreds of hours….
