@Dpullam Deluxe with all the new content would be totally worth it for you. I bought it at launch and put a solid 50 hours in it. Then didn’t play it for a while and of course started playing again with the new content. It’s added about ten hours so far. I bet I end up putting in another 20-30 hours. I probably have 700 hours on it with the WiiU….
@MontyCircus it’s it’s still fun without the analog triggers. It would be nice, but not that big of a deal….. and for just $9.99? I say take the plunge….
@Thief or a mobile version…. I think some things could translate well to mobile in the Nintendo catalog…. Or otherwise…. Not that they need to devote a ton of resources, it could just mainly be a way to create brand awareness….
It’s not a huge concern, but I don’t know why the turned off Doctor Mario…. A Mario match three would be cool too. It doesn’t bother me that the are all but abandoning the space tho. That said, I wonder if MK Tour created awareness for the brand and series, hence monster sales…
@Matroska I was able to get hits up until about 2016 and even some into 2017….mine broke in late 2016 then had to start over. I could only get a dozen or maybe two dozen on the new system
@Waluigi451 Barnes & Noble was good too. I think Best Buy also. I wish Nintendo would at least allow use to use friend codes….or somehow allow us to still get hits
@-wc- I hear ya, but I think this will be good. Strikers, Sports were duds. I think Splatoon 3 is great for those who like franchise, but I didn’t play 2 enough to warrant a purchase of 3. Same with Bayonetta and Pokémon….unless this turns out to be a complete disappointment, I am getting it….
Probably not going to rush into this bc I have barely played BotW. It’s possible but not likely that I run out and get it anyway. I have too many games in the backlog and I am a bit tighter with $$$$ these days.
@TheBigBlue Nintendo is supposedly spending over a billion in online infrastructure and technology, per financial reports….no details, but I think the future should hold some substantial changes….
@MrHonest with some exceptions like charging full price for ports and others noted above, I think Nintendo generally provides value. I bet this will be worth $70….
I think they could have done a little more with it, like build a world with your coins or something like that, something more robust than what they have. Or added a social element like StreetPass somehow
@Sisilly_G agreed. I am mostly fine this. It’s a good value. It extends the life of the game and I will enjoy, but something is indeed inherently stale…..I kinda like the mini games they have in Tour. Extra characters, cars and tracks from other franchises would be cool, but my guess is that is for another system.
@victordamazio they did a really good job with it. Too good of a job bc it seems to be at the expense of the console version….I wish MK8D got this kind of love and attention
@Sarkos the Tour tracks are kinda generic tho. Yeah, the scenery is different, but I don’t see them as that entertaining. I would rather see some better ports or new content…,
I bet they release a 2d Mario that’s somewhat tied to the movie. They could easily slap that together and it would sell close to 20 million with this massive install base.
@Vyacheslav333 I see what you are saying… if I were new to Nintendo or the Switch…..I would buy Odyssey and MK8D for sure. Maybe Animal Crossing took that second default purchase….
@Uncle_Franklin in terms of hardware, of course. But they were able to resell much of the software, so from that standpoint, they recouped a lot of that.
Considering I am only about five hours into Breath of the Wild and have extensive backlog across several systems, I can wait for some form of a discount….
I have mixed emotions about them…. They are dang cool, some of them at least, but I generally think they are a waste of $$$$. Thankfully I never spent over retail but I have $800-$900 worth.
At this point, I wish MK8D would get more DLC- even if just new characters, costumes and mini games we see in Tour. The new tracks are alright, extend the life of the game a little bit, but not much more than a few hours per expansion pack. Highly doubt they do much else with it until the next system, but I can dream.

Re: Photos Posted Online Showcase New Mario-Themed Switch Console Bundle
I am surprised there’s not a new Mario game to go with the movie. It would sell like crazy.

Hopefully this implies that the next generation of Nintendo is capable and not modest improvement like the Switch was to the WiiU.

Re: Miyamoto: Nintendo Is "Always" Working On Mario, But Isn't Ready For The Next Game Reveal Just Yet
@rjejr Nintendo sees Mario Kart Tour as a proper entry…. It’s not a bad game, but I hate that it comes at the expense of the console…..
Re: Miyamoto: Nintendo Is "Always" Working On Mario, But Isn't Ready For The Next Game Reveal Just Yet
I bet they release a 2d Mario that’s somewhat tied to the movie. They could easily slap that together and it would sell close to 20 million with this massive install base.

Re: UK Charts: Switch Maintains Strong Representation In A Pretty Quiet Week
