Comparing this to Punch Out is like comparing apples and oranges imo. PO is a puzzle game masquerading as boxing while this one is more of a fighting game.
This, Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2 sold me on the Switch. I hope it does good.
Totally agree. I would have loved to play splitscreen (splatscreen) with my bro like we do in Uncharted 3. Switch is more powerful and does not require the second screen.
This is the one I want besides Mario, Zelda and Splatoon. Looks fun and fresh. The characters actually remind me of W101 for some reason and I love it.
Nintendo advertises the Switch on TV, you don't criticize them a bit (not even a jab at Reggie or Trinen) and even write the company's name three times without a single misspelling.
End of the world confirmed. Hope it lets us get to the Switch's release
I am currently playing thru Rayman Legends. It really feels like a modern Earthworm Jim without the guns, from art style to music to stage design and humour, but having its own stamp as a co op platformer.
Why movies never get delayed but games get delayed all the time?
Thing is, Tentative Dates (in plural, as games can get delayed several times) and Gold date would work better. After that comes DLC date, Season Pass Date, Season Pass-that-doesnt-include-all-DLC Date, GOTY Edition Date. List just goes on.
Splatoon made me shake off the disdain I had for online heavy games, which in turn made me give Battlefront a chance. I love both games.
Something I would have loved is a splitscreen either against online opponents or AI. Those balloons dont cut it.
Game has so much personality and uniqueness it makes it earn the 'fresh' motto they keep mentioning. Thankfully millions of Nintendo gamers gave a new IP the chance it deserves.

Re: Random: Mario Sports Superstars amiibo Cards Use Really Old Character Artwork
@Grawlog
And don't get me started with the Paper Mario and his hammer for network maintenance image!
On the other hand, the amount of work put into the Bowser Parenting commercial was nice. And 100% new!
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Arrives on Switch & New Nintendo 3DS This Fall
@rjejr
Thanks!
Scalebound or not, the second they announced Splatoon 2 the Switch became a must buy. Mario Odyssey and Arms sealed the deal for me.
Still intrigued about Scorpio and the chance to play Gears, Halo, Forza and Ori.
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Arrives on Switch & New Nintendo 3DS This Fall
Well, I just upgraded to New 3ds but I would still get it on Switch.

@rjejr
Plot Twist: they announce Switch gets delayed!
I could get some of these like Severed and Pirate Plus. Mirai DX is always recommended since the newest Miku is PS4 exclusive.
Re: Video: LEGO City: Undercover Re-Release Gets a Shiny New Trailer
@rjejr
You were put off because of the unmovable price
Dont think I will double dip. Loading screens are annoying only if you go to the Police Station and the one at the start, though.
Re: Poll: One Week to Go - How Are Your Nintendo Switch Presentation Hype Levels?
Hyped enough to go to sleep after the presentation, and I never lose sleep over anything.
@JaxonH
Amen to that. I have always said "If you don't do Nintendo you are missing out. If you only do Nintendo you are missing out".
Re: Rumour: You'll Be Able To Unleash Your Inner Octoling In Splatoon On Nintendo Switch
Octolings remind me of the Cold War. Would love to play as the other side, it could even be a mode of Squid vs Octoling so they arent everywhere.
Re: Rumour: Intelligent Systems Has Canned A Crashmo Sequel For Wii U
I have and love all three. If it still makes it to Switch I will be happy.
Oh and they owe us a Mallo amiibo.
Re: Dark Horse is Bringing 'The Art of Splatoon' Book to the West
Preordered. Thanks, Tom!
Re: 3D Platformer Clive 'N' Wrench No Longer Leaping Onto Wii U
Clive=Clank
Wrench=Ratchet
Love the original name.
Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto's Samurai Mario Shirt Gets Excitable Speculation Up and Running
@Maxz
Thanks for being the only one actually mentioning Kurosawa. Ran is based on Shakespeare's King Lear.
@rjejr
Liar. You (or your corrector) still get Nintendo wrong
Re: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Retail Edition Heading to Wii U on 27th December
Backer codes have been sent on all consoles but Wii U. Hopefully they send them before the 20th
Anyway that CD looks sweet.

Re: Capcom Reaffirms Commitment To Resurrecting Its Vast Catalogue Of "Dormant IP"
But they need to sell 2 million copies each? I am still waiting for the other Disney remasters.
Re: Feature: 10 Essential Wii U And 3DS Platformers
One of the few lists where I have all games.
I am currently playing thru Rayman Legends. It really feels like a modern Earthworm Jim without the guns, from art style to music to stage design and humour, but having its own stamp as a co op platformer.
Re: Nintendo Celebrates Thanksgiving With Some Neat Breath of the Wild Art
Good for Link that the Wolf is there, as the Guardian has his sword and shield within grasp.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto is Now 64 Years Old
Today is Miyamoto's and tomorrow is Tezuka's. But who remembers Tezuka, right?
Happy birthday to both.
Re: Review: Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS)
Not till I beat X.
Re: Review: Twisted Fusion (Wii U eShop)
I will probably wait on this if bugs are getting fixed. No map feels like a bummer too.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd November (North America)
Getting Twisted Fusion and maybe DK, although the price is high.
Re: Mr. Pumpkin Adventure is Shaping Up to be a Quirky Wii U eShop Title
I like the humorous dream of Mrs. Pumpkin so may be I will like this.
Re: Random: Big the Cat Will Appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog LEGO Dimensions Stage
Now this is Big news!
Re: Review: Rhythm Heaven Megamix (3DS)
One of the best rhythm games on 3ds, definitely recommended.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Most Anticipated Wii U and 3DS Games For the Rest of 2016?
@JaxonH @crimsontadpoles
I recommend both RH and Picross 3D 2.
Besides those I am very hyped for Hive Jump. I am a backer and I love couch co op.
Beyond that I would say Severed and Antipole. Not much else. Miku and my PS4 are keeping me busy.

Its not the NX, it is the NY: Not Yet.
Will you reveal it? Not yet.
Show us pics. Not yet.
Mention some games. Not yet.
How about a release date? You guessed it
Re: Sega 3D Classics Dev M2 Is Developing The Legend Of Dark Witch 3 For 3DS
Still need to get the sequel. I liked the first one.
Re: Review: Picross 3D Round 2 (3DS eShop)
I was right to complain so much that this didnt get localized. Very good game with tons of puzzles.
Sorry that Europeans have to wait longer but you get the option of physical that we dont, as with RH Megamix.
Re: Review: Rorrim (Wii U eShop)
I will skip it then. Gotta buy the rest of the Sept. Indie lineup.
Re: Interview: Learning More About Tom Happ and the Making of Axiom Verge
Next to every successful man there is a loyal dog. Great interview and pic.
Re: Review: Noitu Love: Devolution (Wii U eShop)
@ACK
Well, that is a selling point in my book. This, Axiom Verge, Severed, is giving the Wii U something worth it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th September (North America)
Rorrim sounds interesting. Love that name!
Re: Review: Tadpole Treble (Wii U eShop)
And I just got Diva X yesterday. I will still pick this up though.
Re: Picross 3D Round 2 Launches Today on the North American 3DS eShop
Yes yes yes yes YES!!!!!!
Digital is better than nothing. And I just got Zelda Picross.
Put 100+ hours on the first one. Cant wait!
Re: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Has Been Delayed by Six Weeks
Need to play the last 2 so I dont mind.
Re: My Nintendo Extends Validity Period for Gold Points
Got Zelda Picross on Monday and my plat coins sit at 0. Will leave it like that for a while.
Extending validity of gold ones is a good thing though.
Re: Capcom is Putting on a Sale on the North American eShops
Giving Capcom my money? No thanks.
Re: Reminder: One Week Remains to Grab Nintendo of America's eShop 'Summer Savings'
Thanks for the reminder NL. I will get Zelda PH.
Re: Video: Check Out The Action On Offer In Twisted Fusion
I wasnt sure if this still existed. May give it a try.
Re: Sega Announces Puyo Puyo Chronicle For 3DS To Celebrate 25 Years Of Popping Blobs
Project Mirai includes Puyo Puyo butI would get this.
Re: Review: Rynn's Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest (Wii U eShop)
A fox named Rynn. Amatsu Kitsune?
This one is a maybe. Cant see the price on mobile. Could be worth supporting the dev so they can improve on it.
Re: Nintendo of America Expands Nintendo Selects Range and Unveils Small New 3DS Bundle
@rjejr
Agreed about the big news. I may finally upgrade to n3ds as I prefer the smaller, customizable one.
And I saw the news as soon as they posted it so I raced to surprise you. Nintendo should have released it on Jul. 20th
Re: Nintendo of America Expands Nintendo Selects Range and Unveils Small New 3DS Bundle
@rjejr
Finally!
Re: Talking Point: Splatoon May Be Winding Down, But Its Legacy Could Be Significant

Re: Pokémon GO Rolls Out in Latin America as Niantic Reclaims Legendary Pokemon
Indeed this game is not made by Nintendo. They acknowledged Central America's existence! Take that Miitomo!
Re: Bask in Nendoroid Goodness in This Celebratory Good Smile Company Video
Miku seems to be one of the Nendos with more variants. I think there are even several Mikudayos.
