I'm not sure Nintendo would wanna get a big name to play Mario, and then ask them to sound nothing like themself. I think the Mario voice sounds great.
Also Chris Pratt was awesome in the Lego movie and I'm not sure I even realized it was him until afterwards.
Still the only (legitimate) way to play Xenoblade Chronicles X, one of my favourite games! I definitely wasn't first in line to get a Wii U, but once I had one it definitely turned out to be a worthy gaming system. Nintendoland, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Maker, XCX, Zelda: BOTW, and so many other great games!
I kinda wish a 3rd party would produce a new gamepad for it though, that is less clunky and has a nicer quality screen.
I haven't played Animal Crossing in so long, but what I would really love is some kind of buildings update, that adds a couple of new facilities. Or even another upgrade to Nook's store. Maybe toss an observatory in there or something.
I'm just ignoring the entire rewards and purchasing system for now. I've never understood the player appeal of a "premium battle pass", it's just a tool to abuse people's OCD to "maximize player engagement" at all times. I like to be able to take a break from a game and not feel anxiety.
The game Tombs & Treasure on NES always creeped me out as a kid, but I still loved it. Other than that, the original Splatterhouse on TG16 definitely gave me a few nightmares.
All I really played in Overwatch was Mystery Heros, and this puts more maps and characters into that mix, so I'm mostly content.
Looking at the challenges and battle pass I get the feeling I won't be unlocking many, if any, new cosmetics for the amount of time I play though, which is kind of a bummer.
Such a fun game! I really liked the characters and little side stories. Hope they take this series onto another console somehow. Guess I'll download it again and give it another try before it ends
I haven't had much interest in the side scrolling Mario games lately, mainly cause the art style is pretty uninspired. Something like this would be amazing though!
I'm hoping for a really awesome single player story mode. What they did with the Splatoon 2 expansion showed they've got interest in expanding the world. Gotta wait and see I guess.
LEGO's designers might have outdone themselves on this one! The little room that pops up, a shelf to hold the games, and little dioramas for each!? Too cool.
This is pretty fantastic, but at that price and since it's compatible with the other SMB sets maybe it wouldn't have hurt to include one of those Mario figures for scale.
I had Gamepass for a few months and then realized it was kinda stressing me out with too many game options and I wasn't even playing much from it, so I cancelled. Got a ton of games from itch.io bundles to play anyway.
I've gotta get more excited for this game. I loved Splatoon and Splatoon 2 so much, but I'm worried I may not be ready for more just yet? Guess I'll get it and find out!
I haven’t played Coffee Talk but I’ve listened to the soundtrack on Spotify a ton. Great calming music for when I’m having a hard time. My condolences to his friends and family ☹️
Aww I don’t normally play mobile games but I put a lot of time into this one. I’d love to see it come to Switch in some form, it’s got some great characters. Sad to see it wrap up ☹️
I'm trying to be skeptical, but this game really does look good and is sorta winning me over! I think the most impressive part for me is the really nice UI art. The last few Pokemon games haven't been so great in that department, but this one looks really slick.
How the heck am I actually excited for this. Video game movies aren't supposed to be good!? And this is a sequel even! From that little clip Knuckles does sound pretty great, Tails too. Can't wait to see more Jim Carey as well.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Is 'Exhilarating' And At Times 'Surprisingly Difficult' According To Japanese Media
