First remake heavily discounted now. And since joycon2 improved it. It was worth my 2 euros. Still have the wii version on my wiiU though. Which is better
Mmm. Played the new minigames on the switch2 event. Loved them but in the end they were jaust a few new minigames.
Really dossapointed that they didn’t integrate it with the rest and didn’t upgrade the basegame.
This isn’t how i imagined switch 2 versions to be. Mario party is a normally a sevenish game (maybe jamboree is better). But for an upgrade which doesn’t upgrade but just an upsell this seems a dissapointment to me.
@delanoche ah thanx for the headsup. I bought in on switch because the performance issues on switch 1. Wanted to buy it on sale last week but it wouldn’t let me. So next sale I’ll buy it on switch 1 then and virtual gamecard-it to switch 2
Well tomorrow it arrives here. Seems the difference in score in this case eis a bit about the prios you have. If it is 80% from ofyssey i still be happy i think
@The_Nintend_Pedant hi, (changed your nintendolife name from wc, or do you you just share avatars?)
Agree it's iterative, and that the sports games have been disappointing, but iterative is not a bad thing, since switch 2 really feels much more premium
I would say 'zero evidence the drift is stlll there'.. they used a different mechanism (and feels great), since hall was not possible,.. that's not a weird thought..
And the TAG system is so much better than (slow WiiU-) folders... for me... having shmups in one, but also some of them included in the M2 group, makes it so much faster..
@robotoboy20 i admit, maybe a too sweeping statement, but what I meant to say is even teh greatest artist have to think about their art as a producs as well, l art pour l'art is a luxury only a few can afford... Maybe if Miyamoto ever retires he can develop something like that (a bit like sakurai with his youtube channel in a way)
Van gogh viewed his paintings as products too, as you can read in his letters to his brother Theo.. But he was the very defintition of a artist too... I don't think those things exclude each other and seeing the people who read it in japanese, i don't think miyamoto does either
seems quite ok docked (ethernet) but slower than ps5 next to it.... (250 v 400 , while my phone gets via wifi 500+) not sure if the tips in the article are for docked and wifi alike..
wifi in my room seems perfect for playing .. no hickups seen... haven't really tried it anywhere else yet
@HoodedSpirit yes this. Really overlooked aince youtubers etc don't play this way but families do. Playing sone mario kart is something we always do together in our house. And that sometimes now feels a bit empty for one player
One of the first times nintendo launvhes a game which is better than the current selling iteration. Played it this morning. Feels lots fresher than the switch titel
Good to see the vancouver ds title high up. It really is an underrated gem. Tomorrow finally the steikers gc title. Only played the wii and the shallow switch one
Still livoing the gamer , athough i still hope they'll add a classic mode (i suspect an update with dk and pauline constumes around dk's launch)..
for me the biggest problem is that when playing 2 player online the second player doesn't get any points... i often do this with my son and now one of us is playing just for fun, while getting a few points does help as a target and to align the competition
@cedarhyped barely anty loading in the beignning, but when you're in the endgame and switching between different areas, loading takes quite a bit... sometimes it spend more time loading an area like the sea people then i spend in that area (just collecting my ingredients)
@JohnnyMind @sylamp It does run a tiny bit smoother, but i also heard response time is a bit laggy , so great that they will make a new upgrade.. Mintrocket has been great in providing updates and new content for this, it really is one of my favourite switch games, and with the updates it is nice to return at times (even though the dlc's usuaully thake 30 mins to complete)..
mmm... think i might have played most ACNL this year, after ejecting some sd cart space into my 3ds and discovering new stuff...
MKW during dune.. lots to love, something not so much (the 3 lap structure is one thing, but what I really don't like is that player 2 in online doesn't count... i play in that setup often with my son, since years, but now only one of us get ranking points and the other just plays along...
tried them last night... nicely reworking of the old tracks with some new effect and jump... good for the continuity with the four consoles in a row now...
Pure mode? think I prefer quality but it all goes so fat i'not sure... (not sure if more options is better is true here..if they are all so close)
I already saw that this was there on the nintendo pre event in amsterdam, so not not surprised it is the first... excacly one month after the switch 2 release, so i suspect a monthly drip from now on..
I never have play the GC version, and pleasantly surprised how fresh it looks..Dayse is so cool. Did like charged but in retrospect didn't really went into it.. The switch was disappointing, and too much focus on that special shot (as often with mario sports games these days), and the meta-game just didn't work...Bough it based on the review here which seemed to completely miss that
so quite happy that it is there, hopefully my kids will give ti a chance for 2 player..
I see the fear for AI replacing persons, but to make some trees in the background seems a like to the use of chatgpt by everybody in the office to get a basic text to save some time...
@rjejr yeah, demo seems like a good idea .. iplayedn it portly on the the nintendo pre event in amsterdam in may..seems fun, but you have to play to experience it..
we couldn't see the meta game.. if it's just one game mode not sure if I'm going to buy it, but 20 euros makes it in my impulse buy zone for nintendo branded games.... *one of the reason they should have made a switch select..)
It's always interesting to see* what DF think of a new product. I'm not usually a big tech person (pc gaming? why? ps5? got it but give me games), but they can bring some new light to things, and John's retro specials on e.g. 'water in games' clearly shows his love for the medium.
I was expecting the screen to be the focus point, since basically I loved it until now, so I hope this won't be if you have seen it, you can't unseen it.
Many of the mentioned problems can be fixed in firmware, and I think only really show up in the real world (I guess in their japanese testing world they only had HGIG (am I the only one who thinks about the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy with this acronym) TVs and thought it was standard...
On gameshare: it's not for nothing ofcourse they used the example of 51 worldwide games as an example in the videos.. it's not really meant for fastfusion...
And the cables made me laugh... Even though i have to untie my cable soup, for a non-df setup they are ok for me
for those above wondering why NL quotes them, they are partly the same company

Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
Yup. Giest game ever to do it. Mostly the first day though. I guess my brain now has gone bananas.
Re: More Switch Games Reportedly Receive Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
@FishyS 60 fps 4k would be lovely
Missing super megabaseball 4. 3 works, 4 was sluggish on the switch 1. So i had hooed for a better version to have it portable..
Re: Opinion: Celebrating 20 Years Of Baseball In The Mushroom Kingdom
I love the youtube channel dinger city which still runs a great mario baseball league with mad commentary. Would be great to tfor nso (online!)
Btw supermegabaseball 4 isn’t playable on switch 2. EA. Patch it!

Re: Feature: Three Laps, Two Players, One Vegas Jumpsuit - 10 Things We'd Love To See Added To Mario Kart World
For me the most interesting would be 'make yout own race' by putting some markers in the open world
(Just like the 'ode to races'. Those should have a major kofe too (next to classic mode. ).
