Yeah. Before reading i guessed 6 or 7 but that i would believe 8 or 10.

So is that Odd Rock thing not actually in the game at all?

Suffer like G did?

@Bass_X0
It is a redesign. It may be back to a previous design. But that's still a big change from the last few decades.

To me the gameboy game (which is amazing) worked because it was built on the same game that shared that design - intentionally retro.

I get why they do it and it mashes sense, I just don't like it. That and the game being so different from the country series are enough for me to skip it. No harm no foul, just a bummer for me.

That's a good point. I wonder what the sweet spot is... like if every system had 4 million available at launch, how many systems would sell that many? or would you hit the place where you have them left over.

Does scarcity create demand so people buy every last one? Or would they buy one anyway? Does a bunch sitting on the shelf cool demand (cuz I can pick it up later)...

Most launches don't have enough consoles available. Switch 2 has been sitting in store rooms a while because they kept pushing back the release to stock up it seems.

How much of these records are just because they actually had enough to sell at lunch?

The next round of sales will be more telling after the early adopters, youtubers, scalpers, and diehards.

Benny the Bull is amazing. I don't even like mascots and I love that guy. When he should the popcorn? Lol chef's kiss

Don't know about this game, but it sounds fun to play as him.

Still love this game. The multiplayer was groundbreaking, all of the different AI Sims you could put in were so much fun. With friends, but also keep going against bots when they had to go home. And it kept some of the classic GoldenEye levels too. I put way more hours into this than any other first person shooter.

Joanna Dark deserves better than the sequels she got.

And the soundtrack? "Alien Conflict" = chef's kiss.

@FormerGameAddict
And is therefore built with tech already 4 years out of date? Shelf life of Switch 2 may be short...

Couldn't they find someone old enough to have been there when Super Mario Kart came out to review it?

Anyway, my top 5:
1a. Double Dash - best racing. And having 2 Luigi's on a Luigi kart? Chef's kiss.

1b. N64 - battle mode. Nuff said.

3. Super Mario Kart - nostalgia goggles

4. Mk8 - like the evolution of SNES

5. MKDS - could be higher if not for all the online drifters

@AllBLK
Exactly. To me it's not "the same but better"... it's become "the same but worse." And mouse control doesn't make up for that. lol. Sorry, just feeling bummed about it.

Since things like this have made me lose interest in a Switch 2, are there any rumors of a Switch 1 PRICE DROP? I could see myself buying a couple more of those for the kids now that I know I don't have to save money for Switch 2.

Don't forget: $80 AND it's just a code on a card.

I'd rather take my money to the retro market and enjoy the games I've missed over the years.

The medium has finally passed me by.

Lufia 2.

That is all.

I'm in my early 40's. I honestly think we might have finally hit the point where I don't bother with new systems. Never thought it would happen. But there are so many games I've missed on past systems, they should keep me busy for the rest of my life. And I can buy them on cartridge, disc, and card! That's where my wallet will go.

I haven't played undertale but I'm buying it for switch. How does Deltarune work? Is there a cartridge? Should I wait till all the chapters are out to play the complete game?

Yes! I'll be playing this multiplayer with my teenage daughter. We loved this game!

I have every Nintendo system. Even Virtual Boy. But clearly the medium is passing me by when companies won't make physical or let me own anything.
Is been a fun 40 years but I'm out.
I'll look for more retro hidden gems on ebay.

From The Treehouse footage it looks like there aren't races with laps anymore. Just long tracks. What I don't like about that is that the first third of the race is just the boring Highway drive to get from one race to the other... but on screen it counts that as "1/3". Then it finishes in something that looks more like a track.

Not sure about this game. It looks like it doesn't have laps, just long courses. Some of those are fine, but on the Treehouse footage that made the first part of every race pretty boring because it was actually just the connecting Highway. then the last half of the race was more like a real track.

It's official. I'm a retro only gamer from now on. Can't deal with this garbage of not owning my stuff and trying to guess what's inside every box I buy.

Holy mackerel!
SEGA AGES is a palindrome!

I'll just wait a few years until the revision that has better battery, oled, and by then some games should be on sale at least used on eBay.

I don't mind a discount from physical to digital, since you're not paying for the box. But this feels more like an upcharge to go from digital to physical and that's stupid.

It turns him from tough to goofy. Donkey Kong Country always had some goofy moments but this makes him full on comic relief like the movie, or his old school cartoon. Is what it is, but it feels like a different donkey kong.

The game looks like it might be fun, but man I am not down with the new old look. It kind of killed the trailer for me and might make me not even buy it. Oh well.

Sale on original model when?
No pack in game. Just an actual sale, please.

Euroshmuppy?

@LEGEND_MARIOID
Strangely, I think DQ1 is still fun to pick up and play and get addicted. But DQ2 just never hit me and still doesn't. Though I'm interested to see what's up with the new character!

I've always wished I was powerful enough to do something like open doors... Unfortunately I don't have psychic abilities.

I'm sure the game will be good, but this trailer was very underwhelming. Hopefully it's because they're saving the best stuff for April 2nd!

The sliding Block Puzzle part has been intrigued, as long as it's not too time or twitch sensitive. I don't see how they're comparing it to Pac-Man though.

@Lofoten
If you watch a run like this, they have ways to reset in certain places. Like audio cues, or running down left for 10 seconds (cuz then they know that wherever they were before... they're in a corner now and can reset from there). Some places it's just a lost run.

@asmi8803
"Canon" means standard. Like the Canon of the Bible is the books that are officially acquired as divinely inspired.

In comics, video games, etc. it basically means: the storylines/ games that have been accepted as official parts of the characters history/lore. Thus they can effect other stories.

@Spider-Kev
Exactly. The most frustrating thing is that you can never find a gem anymore for even a slight discount, because they all match the eBay prices or price charting. If EB pays you 10 cents on the dollar and then lists it for full collectible price, that's the issue.

If they paid cheap but also sold cheap? They might actually help the prices come down!

Price drop on regular Switch when?

Seems pretty obvious from that statement that it is not a roommate or you have to release.

"Beyond the world of the game" makes me think they mean..... plushies..... or maybe buttons from your backpack..... Or maybe just a background for your phone.

NA easy on this one.
The urgency of the reds and yellows. The strong pose. And the epic sense of a whole city that needs his protection. Not sure why "Gaiden" is green though...

Lol at name your baby Turkey. How did I miss that story back in the 90s?

30 years later, I wonder if there are any dads out they're coaching their kid's Little League team named Coach Turok.

This isn't a leak. This is guerilla marketing. 100% they sent him a file so he could leak it for extra buzz.

@FishyS
The obvious problem there being.. I would love to buy another switch. OLED or something so my kids have more. We only have one. I need a price drop to be able to afford it. I already have Mario Wonder so this does me no good. I just don't get it, but clearly it's working for them.

@wildesttimelines
You know that's already been proven to have been fake right?

@-wc-
Another retro bird fan i take it?
That line is so cheesy... and yet I now quote it all the time lol

@DTFaux
That's the one thing I like about the current model. For example Fire N Ice is an amazing game that I never would have tried because it cost $200 on ebay. NSO let me try it. Now I wish I could give them five bucks to keep it even if I am not online or don't have a subscription anymore. I hate the transience of games attached to a service.

Not to mention all the games we're not getting because they're from other companies or cousintendo trip feeds.

( I also hate many of the games on NSO and they clutter up my page. Wish I could delete the ones I don't like.)

Luigi's Moon-sion!

with Space Ghosts..... (coast to coast!)

Won't this be useless to anyone who typically only plays from their couch? Or on the go? I don't play at a desk with a hard flat surface.

1. Yay Lufia 2!

2. How is this legal if it's copyrighted work from other games?

I don't care about birthdays. Give me another "Year of Luigi" celebration!

Not enough playtesting back on 3ds or here?

No me gusta nada.

7. It was a great return to form for Country series. I hate it on we how you had to blow on the stupid thing and shake the motion controls. At least that is largely fixed here. I'll wait till it's 30 bucks.
