Gonna guess that most people who post on this site probably already had most of the Mario games…..

@JakedaArbok 1-2 Switch and the sequel nobody wanted were such a travesty. I could maybe see paying $10 for those if I really had money burning a hole in my pocket….as much as I love the Switch, Nintendo really dropped the ball with budget and mini games….

@JakedaArbok I wish Nintendo would do more mini game, smaller games like street pass, Rusty’s real deal base ball, steel diver etc. I think there’s a market for these games in general, especially at the price point of $10-$40….

@JakedaArbok I see what you are saying. But the flip side is that Wario is even cheaper filler material than Kirby- I love Kirby, but it seems like every time I turn around, there’s a new Kirby game.

@JakedaArbok Get it Together sold 1.34 million. That’s pretty respectable for a niche title and probably did not cost much to make.

@larryisaman I love Wario and mini games in general. But I don’t have many opportunities to play with friends and motion controls are kind of a turn off for me. Throw in that it should not be priced more than $30, if that and I will wait for a sale if I decide to get it at all.

I wish they would remake Klax and Paper Boy….

I have mixed emotions about this….i love innovation and the dual screen, but as mentioned, would it come at the cost of battery life and portability…..?

I remember Colecovision, but I don’t think any of my friends had one. Most of my friends had the 2600. I thought it was cool, but not enough to beg my parents for one. I ended up with the Atari home computers, first, the 400, then the 800 or 1200xl. Those were pretty cool for home gaming.

@Lizuka exactly. I am pretty much exclusively handheld mode. I don’t really have many friends to play with either. I love Wario but I don’t think I will get this unless it’s on sale

I think they are funny! Not nearly as bad as I expected…land yes, I do like them…

Well, I don’t think this statement is meaningful if it doesn’t translate to backward compatibility. Who cares if I can just log into my same account just to have to repurchase old games. Otherwise this doesn’t meaningfully make for a smooth transition in any way, shape or form….

Got it first thing in the morning at Target to get the shadow box, lol….playing it tonight.

I don’t really play multiplayer, so that’s not an issue for me.

@sanderev I would pay a fee to be able to access older games from other systems like MSFT….I hope at least Switch games will be accessible on the next system. That would really add value to NSO.

They could treat the Switch almost like a handheld…and the new Switch for more sophisticated games. They can still sell to their massive install base on certain games for casuals….this way they keep people locked into their eco system….

There’s too many performance issues due to weak hardware on the Switch. We tend to overlook this bc most of the time, we are happy to just have a port of a game on the Switch than not. But even Nintendo’s own titles are starting to struggle.

Nintendo is probably thinking that it can sell more systems by forcing people to upgrade, but I think the opposite will be true. I would rather wait for the library to grow if this is the case.

Smash, ACNH, MK8D….

@Enigk I agree with you. That said, I can’t imagine that many people doing this. If they are a fan of the series, they probably already have it. A lot will double dip like I did with Advance Wars.

@samuelvictor I like and still get physical copies. I am moving more in the direction of digital tho, at least with Ps5 and Xbox. I like the idea of a complete edition for certain games. So maybe in certain cases this will make sense, if for no other reason, preservation

For a game that’s not a Nintendo title, this is so Nintendo….it’s too bad this wasn’t their creation instead of 1-2 Switch

@samuelvictor the problem with physical these days is two fold- games are becoming so massive- some take two disks. Worse tho, is how they are constantly updating. A disk is almost becoming useless. Even with Nintendo and smaller games, there’s always an update….

@larryisaman this is how I see it. I have barely used mine in docked mode. I suppose I could get a pro controller, but I don’t like the joy cons unless attached to the system. Let’s be honest here, when compared to even an Xbox One or Ps4 it’s really much mor like a handheld that can be played as a console than vice versa.

@Keman to be fair, I don’t think the rumor was that the new Switch was as powerful as a Ps5, but rather, that the games look just as good and run as smoothly as a Ps5….just guessing that they managed to accomplish some things technically to achieve similar results with less power.

@mariomaster96 is Peachette that much different than Peach? I get they might want another female character, but this is pretty lazy….

I am not expecting anything too big if for no other reason, Nintendo is probably saving the big hitters for the next system. My guess will be some random, out of the blue Game Cube remaster in addition to an F Zero remaster….

Spy vs Spy….would be an obscure remake, but cool.

@Grumblevolcano sad? It has only been nearly a decade since we have had a proper console Mario Kart. The Tour tracks are mostly meh….a new entry is long overdue….

Pikmin 4, Diablo 4, Baldur’s Gate….

@theModestMouse yeah, I need to revisit. I remember figuring something out that made it a little easier….

Rayman Legends was truly amazing. I know there’s a lot of excitement for Mario Wonder, but I question whether it will measure up to Rayman. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure that Nintendo will deliver its magic here.

I am definitely getting this game day one and I am quite excited for it….. I’m glad it had its own direct in that if they have another direct, they can focus on other games and developments….. that said, I personally could do without this direct. I get that Nintendo wants to market this and I am sure there’s some remarkable stuff in it, but at the end of the day, it’s just a 2d platformer.

@Maxz I have had similar thoughts on what Nintendo’s expectations were for MK8D when they released it on the Switch…..i bet it gets close to 60 million….throw in the 8 million that it sold on WiiU….

@Ironcore the tables are good but the interface is awful and load times are terrible…..this is on the series x, so I can’t imagine what they are like on the switch. I am guessing it is more of a server issue bc I can’t imagine a pinball game taking this long to load.

@Captain_Toad I have it on other systems….

Cool…I remember a game by EA way back when called Archon. Sort of chess but you had to fight for the win… more like fantasy and with knights, soldiers and creatures… always wanted a more modern version… will check this out

You nailed Mario…. I am with you 100 percent…. He really is boring as a character, but but somehow manages to draw you into his world. I hardly ever race, golf, party or fight as Mario, but put Mario on a game and there’s a good chance I will buy it.

@Bunkerneath @EaglyBird plus they need something to sell the next system…. I won’t drop $400 to play a port of a decade old game.

This has potential to be really cool! Would love a football version too!

@MeatSauce the load times are ridiculous for something like this and I am on my Series X. Also hate that we have to be online….that said, they are some cool tables.

My one disappointment with the Switch is no Madden. I know this is not Nintendo’s fault, other than maybe having an underpowered system. That said, I wish they could have made a gimped version. I bet it would have sold 3-4 million, if not more.

@Dark_Knight I am pretty sure it’s just a timed exclusive….will probably come out later for Xbox and Pc…

I think it has a chance, especially if they keep as a low cost option. They did it for a while with the 2ds. It will get a nice boot in the fall with the new Mario game and will have a decent holiday season, I am sure.

Pikmin is love. Pikmin is life. Pikmin is eternal….

My only question is whether to get physical or digital….sounds awesome!

@MisanthropyAGoGo how is the difficulty? I am definitely on the casual side of gaming. I get frustrated easily with difficulty spikes….

@nmanifold as much as I love having 48 courses, it feels like a lot of the content is bland filler material. Granted, at just $24.99 or as a bonus for being a subscriber, it’s still a great value. But considering that this has sold well over 60 million if you count the WiiU version, plus DLC, it really shouldn’t have been an issue to put more effort into this. Throw in that the mobile version has made a decent chunk of change and probably even served as a marketing vehicle for the Switch to sell more systems …..I just feel that Nintendo could have put more effort, polish and fresh content into this….

No Everybody 1-2 Switch? Or does it have a different release date in the UK?

@h15c0r3r I am not one to complain about graphics and textures, but some of the Tour tracks look so bland….

@AtlanteanMan agreed…some of them are ok, but I think it’s so lazy….they are mostly pretty bland.
