@Not_Soos Oh it was just along the lines of 'get a life' ^_^

@Koffyman I think I speak for all of us here that we do have a life.... a Nintendo Life...

I'll get my coat

I was very fortunate to load up the link as soon as I got the email from Nintendo - preordered with no problems, but I feel for all those that missed out. I would have hoped Ninty would stagger stock over a number of hours / days to allow others to get a chance.

I would have to go with Overworld Theme 2 from Super Mario Bros. 3 - gives me the nostalgic feels & happy memories of racing through the levels.

So long as Chris Pratt's voice is used for Link, Pit, Captain Falcon & Kirby in their respective films, I'll be fine with this.

If there's no chicken with a pulley in the middle, I will be very upset.

This is definitely one of those 5 out of 7 games.

I see we're also getting a remaster of Rise of the Triad for Switch too! Good time for classic style FPS!

@Aozz101x After the terrific mess that was the anime adaptation, I doubt we'll get to see any crossovers with The Promised Neverland 😔

@Member_the_game I've just had word with your hotel about the lack of entertainment, so they've agreed to send you a copy of Contra: Rogue Corps as a gesture of goodwill.

Hopefully Nintendo will issue them a deceased & desist letter.

Release the bread puns!!

@Olliemar28 The link takes you to a page where it describes the Language to be in English ^_^

The real test will be Q4 sales of hardware / software during winter months as people battle raising living costs.

Who cares about ugly grass!?! It's Mario Kart, not Lawnmower Simulator

@calbeau Awesome, thanks bud!

Does this have a Japanese voice option?

That's insane. Normal practice would be to have something in place behind a curtain so to speak and to switch over when it's ready.

@TommyTendo All tracks are authentically & lovingly reproduced on a wurlitzer by a guy who plays the church organ on Sundays in my local parish.

With the slew of announcements over the last few days, a Direct before September is looking less likely.

Mario Kart Double Dash is my least favourite with uninspiring tracks (apart from a couple of obvious favourites like Yoshi Circuit) & a rubbish Co-Op switching character gimmick. Gamecube was fantastic apart from its two marmite games, Mario Sunshine and this MK outing - I know they are a lot of people's favourites, they just never clicked with me sadly. I had so much fun collecting all the coins and besting the tracks on Mario Kart Super Circuit for the GBA & tons of all-nighters on multiplayer Mario Kart 64, but I think Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just about comes out on top for the sheer volume of quality tracks, some of which are yet to come in the DLC ^_^

I hope these idiots were in the minority. This is clearly a passion project & we're lucky at all that games like these see the light of day. I would have loved to read Ron Gilbert's blog on bringing this new entry together. Some of the hardcore fans are the worst, thinking it's their right to have it done their way.

Leaves us wanting more! It will be nice to get an official end. I'm interested to see who will actually be voicing LeChuck as the voice actor has since retired.

It's the new Ecco the Dolphin that's been rumoured.

Hydrocity Zone is intact, phew! It's going to be weird with the new tracks. It's not like they're that bad, it's just the originals were so iconic. I suspect PC & mods are going to be the best way to play this (unless of course you have the originals, VC entries on Wii or do emulation)

No Omori for Europe either?

@gcunit trotts in from Blackpool pleasure beach on Epona the Donkey, looks to above comment Well, actually... I'm no longer needed here.

@Damo Cool! Great articles as always, thanks to you all ^_^

@AlanaHagues Slight typo? 1st Paragraph, 'flawed conversation > conversion'?

I keep thinking how cool a retro style Matrix game would look on a Gameboy

Mash 'x' to pay massive respect

It took me a while to actually grasp the scale of this thing... very impressive!

@RubyCarbuncle Similar, Star Wars is very close to my heart. I played most of the previous Star Wars Lego games & Lego City Undercover, so maybe my expectations were a little too high and I'm maybe a little burnt out on collectathons shrugs

Anyone else found the game underwhelming? I can't deny it's stuffed full of content, but I've found it to be all quite repetitive & I've lost the motivation to continue.

Nice spoiler, thanks.

Two great point & clicks returning! All we need now is a new Discworld game ^_^

It's scary when you see some of the portfolios of these trust structures and they own large stakes in many companies.

For those on the fence, just buy it. It's one of the best games I've played in a long time.

@Bizzyb Lickers, Wesker, Zombies, Dogs, Giant Spiders, Umbrella Corp, T-Virus, RE3 Worm... As if we want another lame attempt to follow all the beats in the early games; we've been there, done that and it was rubbish. Hopefully something a bit different in the RE universe might prove to be interesting. Too many people taking a dump on it before they even see it.

Earthbound 2: The Way of Mother

Ecco the Dolphin vibes

I'm thinking as they've acquired Codemasters, it might be Dirty Dancing: the Video Game

Oh dear oh dear... this is a disaster. They reached a peak with Hotel Mario and it's been downhill ever since. Nintendoom & gloom folks!

@nessisonett "Game devlopment is like a fart; if you have to force it, it will proably turn out to be sh*t" Shigeru Miyamoto

This could have been the new Kid Icarus & Ninty passed up on it...

So glad I don't have to buy the book; I'm enjoying these snippets. Tune in tomorrow for part 237 of 8,779 of Reggie's Thoughts, exclusively on NL 😛

It's very in-keeping with the remastered games' art style. Having grown up with the original titles, I'm very much excited for this new entry. You can't please everyone I guess, but hopefully the creators won't be too disheartened.

I thought the 'Best Month Ever' tagline was initially referring to May & I was like, 'what's so special about this month', then I scrolled down.

Was going to pick one of these us, but $45 shipping to UK was a bit extreme. Someone is already trying to flog one on eBay for £250 🙄

@Captain-N Double pun, two for the price of one!
