@joey302 Remember Cyberball? It had a Lynx version too…wish we could get a modern version of that.

@SepticLemon it was a lot of fun! Maybe not quite the next Tetris, but it was really fun. For some reason, I thought Paper Boy was Atari. And what was the suite of games that came with the Lynx- surfing, skating and maybe a few others? Didn’t it come with the system?

@Grumble I love Atari too. Definitely a day one purchase as well. I loved the Lynx. It was so ahead of its time. Also had two computers and of course lived arcade. That said, I wanted to want the VCS, but just couldn’t….I know it serves sones useful functions, but I would rather have a Steamdeck or Digital Ps5.

No Paperboy or Klax?

Definitely interested to get this for relax mode….

@IronMan30 he has suggested to drop hardware altogether…. Put all IP on other platforms and mobile. After the Switch proved to be a success beyond anyone’s dreams, he said Nintendo’s next console should be a dongle. Good thing they don’t take his advice

I just don’t get why EA doesn’t make Madden or NHL for the Switch. Even if a nerfed version, it would probably at least sell as well as FIFA, if not better.

Hope I am wrong, but I just can’t see this being worth a damn….

I wish they would put Madden on the Switch….I would pay for the roster update on a nerfed version….

Haven’t played in a while, but I loved Undead Bowling on 3ds

I kinda want this….

@yuwarite I don’t get the appeal either {logs 450 hours}

What’s interesting is that the main reason I play ACNH is for relaxing music and to just tool around mindlessly. If I get this, it will be on sale and on another system, maybe steam if I get a steam deck.

@romanista interestingly, I pulled the trigger on the Xbox version and downloaded it. But there must have been something wrong bc the Microsoft store refunded my $$$$. So I decided to get it on Switch instead….

Even tho this game is generally not for me, I love the universe. It captures that Nintendo magic perfectly and brings a fresh take on shooters.

I really love what Apple is doing with Arcade and wish Nintendo would do something similar with its online services….sponsor some smaller devs and have them create games exclusively for Nintendo….

@GoldenSunRM ok, I stand corrected. I think it could have had more venues tho.

@Pillowpants I never had the 2600 but I eventually got an Atari 400 and 800xl. I really enjoyed a lot of what Atari did. The Lynx was so ahead of its time and the arcade games were cool. Pretty much all of that is forgotten now

@MrA-Game I like tennis and golf, but I wish they had more characters. I wonder what this game will look like with all updates.

@StarPoint if they only had a trophy system for getting stuck, frustrated and quitting… I would have a ton of trophies….

@sixrings the issue I have with less power isn’t so much as far as graphics but rather performance with load times and frame rate. I am starting to buy stuff on other systems now. Games that shouldn’t have performance issues are at times having problems on the Switch.

@PepperMintRex I got one pretty easily throu Amazon invitation….

It’s $5 cheaper on Xbox…. Wait for a sale or take the plunge now for cheaper on different system?

I get the business aspect of this, but I really hate what Nintendo has done with this franchise. DLC is fun for about a week and then mobile game gets all the love and extras….

It had its moments, but much of it was fluff and stuff we already knew about. Love Pikmin 4, Front Mission, Kirby (tho we sure have seen a lot of him lately)…Zelda is great for the fans. Bayonetta….Had enough of Fire Emblem, at least until it goes on sale in a year or two…

@Deljo I have the WiiU, Switch and Vita versions…I see it on sale and want to buy it for Xbox ot ps5… but there really is no purpose in that…

@Deljo it really was a masterpiece…. Loved everything about it

It’s $5 cheaper on Xbox…wait for a sale?

Loved this game. More of an experience than a game, but it was fun and very artistic….totally recommend.

Wallet: Marked Safe from Nintendo

I hope they include Donkey Kong Snowboarding from Wii on this….

The highlight of the direct for me. Not the biggest Zelda fan….

I want some sort of random surprise that I really want…..a new Donkey Kong, Star Fox, F Zero, Pikmin 4….maybe a new suite of party games…..

@Joriss happened to me with Xenoblade 3…. Only I had a coupon from Amazon that was set to expire in a month….still unsure about Splatoon 3. Leaning towards not getting it, but could easily see me getting it on impulse…

TLOU can’t out sell MK8D in Japan….

Oregon has tax free also….oh wait, it’s included

Undecided….no doubt this is a great game. I love the franchise/universe, but this game is generally not for me. Just not into the concept. How is the solo campaign? Any idea how long it is?

@nocdaes that is a very interesting thought….. how much has the mobile game contributed to sales of MK8D and then also the Switch? I could see this definitely being a factor. Maybe this has turned into an ambassador for Nintendo, the Switch and MK8D.

Just guessing, but I think I have spent about 20 hours on the game and spent zero dollars. If u play the game enough, you really don’t need to spend anything anymore….

@Debbiee it has been nearly ten years! Love the character and franchise but suck at the games. But it is time for a new entry.

@Debbiee there’s a few mobile games. One made especially for Apple Arcade. It’s not quite the same, but worth trying if u r a fan of the series…but yeah, it looks like the franchise is abandoned

@B_Lindz yeah… and I have sadly supported this practice. It started with MK8D…..understandable given that it had improved battle mode and two items to carry. Super Mario World for the extra content…... But had to get DKTF for chill mode. Normally I would have passed but I suck at the game, so I wanted to try it with new mode. Bought Captain Toad again to play with a friend. At least I got that reduced used at GameStop. Pikmin 3 was on sale…. Hard to pass that up. Then bought both Xenoblade Definitive and NSMBUD on sale, thankfully deeply discounted. Crap, I dropped $300 on games I already own…

I want this game eventually…. Just have too much on the plate now

@judaspete sadly, my guess is we won’t hear from this franchise again…. I wish it had a story mode and more developed background

I wish Nintendo would take a page from Apple Arcade…. Sponsor some promising indie developers and include in online service for $5 or $10

@shining_nexus mostly quit playing Pikmin Bloom, but it’s fun to pull out every now and then. If nothing else it keeps me moving. I am not one to pay for extras, but with this behavior, I will definitely not put $$$$ into it.

Not that I care too much, but along the same lines, I hope they keep Mario Run active too. It’s not a bad diversion when at the doctor’s office or something like that

@cra1g0s the Zen pinball suite…. I went ahead and bought all of them, or very close to all of them. Between those, what I have on Switch and Xbox, I ham set with video pinball for the foreseeable future….

I wish u would do a list for “most approachable games”….I get that people want a challenge, but I just don’t ant to go for the ride and relax….

I play pinball on mine mostly, tho I have a ton of pretty cool indie games too. I repurchased the Switch version for the ones I care about….

Not sure there is a huge market for it, but I would love to see modern adaptations for Atari, Williams et al done well. Might give this a go on sale….

I wonder what the threshold is to consider a game a success. ARMS did reasonably well considering it was new IP and the user base was pretty small.
