Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?

romanista

One of the 'advantages' if MKW being so expensive in a physical form is that most of it have it on our switch2s now... free roam is great for a quick session, and i am using it like that... challenges are nice and sometimes a bit original (like the odes to old courses), but agreed here that a few bosses (ds had those) , a tracker, and some more unlockables (10/10/10 for mirror is quite easily done without trying)... would be very welcome in an update..

Re: Poll: Do You Three-Star-Gold Every Mario World Grand Prix Before Moving On To The Next?

romanista

I played enough to unlock Mirror mode, then went online,
probably will three star stuff on holiday , when offline is best option....

it is really weird by the way how it shows you highest reward, but not what you did on 150, until you look into it
(apparently my brother had won a gp on 100 cc on my son's account, and it took us a while that that was what was blocking mirror mode unlock for my son, because he didn't see he didn't have 150)

Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera - Shocking Image Quality, But Its Cuteness Will Snare You

romanista

@DreadfulDragon although I agree that the camera function is worse, it does serve a purpose the normal camera does not.. you can put it on your handheld switch... and then image quality is ok for gamechat....

(i bought in the preorder since i already had spent already that much money and this was cheaper... nintendo should have put the resolution somewhere in the shop_

Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera - Shocking Image Quality, But Its Cuteness Will Snare You

romanista

i got it with my preorder since it was cheaper than the official one , and so i felt i was saving some money... day after i saw the resolution..

but it is very cute, and I think the grip on the tv is nothing short of brilliant actually.. you have to 'get'how it works but then it just first without force, but by relieving of the weigh of the Pot..

quality for gamechat seems nice, but for the smiley-imitating game in Welcome tour it had trouble fixing my head.. (maybe a light-thing)... do wonder if jamboree will work,since i remember on the nintendo pre-event that camera was kind of amazing detecting four jumping bodies... (even dutch-length bodies)

Re: Feature: Farewell, Nintendo Switch - It's Finally Time To Bid Our Old Friend 'Adieu'

romanista

The Switch was probably the first console I really enjoyed with my children... now 18/15, then 10 and 7 ( I had a commodore AMIGA at home at that age) ... Even though we already had a ps4 then, it (and the ps5) never were played like this one, and ofcourse it has been with us to england, thailand, croatia, portugal (wario ware!), and so many other places... Thursday S2 is coming... it has a halluva legacy to live up too...

Keeping my switch 1 for gameshare, and next to my turnable monitor to play Tate...

Re: Gallery: Here's Another Look At GameCube Games On Switch 2

romanista

Really nice to have some gamecube stuff to play.. . controller is pre ordered as well since i just love the gc controller and purple is my favourite colour

sort of interesting they do a lot with the crt controller, sicne the GC generation is the first on which the games are not really pixel arty anymore... f-zero gx looks modern better ( i play it on my wiiu these days)...

Are there no rumours on when mario strikers comes along.. on the amsterdam switch 2 event it was already included in the app .. so i can't imagine it will be that long...

And we indeed need SMB1.. still the OG! @skippermonkey

Re: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots Has Been Rated By The ESRB

romanista

@Rockgamer @ramouz @jumping_dead I loved the ps4 version too, alweays something to do and weird modes... didn't find any golf game on the switch really satisfying (mario golf, nice story mode, but not the 3 click system, and not many champs, golf story nice rpg, but not for some quick rounds).. so a portable golf game, at least on 3ds level is always welcome.... still play MG world tour at times... The vita version of EG is quite nice too, so I have hopes for this a nice little release...

wonder about the pricing.. (for patapon too.... L button on my vita is broken so difficult to play, even when remapping since it also needs al lcorssquarecirciletriangle buttons)

And sony games on a switch remains interesting just got forza horizon discounted on my ps5.. strange times

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Four More Titles

romanista

@garfreek this indeed.... would never have bought these on VC

And good timing with survival kids for the switch 2 game.... might interest me...

that adventure game looks really 8 bit text adventure ish.... and gradius is always good with that gradius collection coming soon.... (recently started playing gradius V when i got a cheap ps2 last year)

Re: SEGA Unveils New Sonic 'Racing Around The World' Campaign

romanista

@Zufolobelisk yeah you're right.. weird timing... all sonic racing games seems to come (for me at last) at inconvenient times.. I only started playing the WiiU game (the best in the series imo) in 2021, when i was done with mk8dx (pre booster) and was looking for some new racing inspiration
