@JayJ almost guarantee they're holding off to add that until all the games are added

@Nep-Nep-Freak there's a reason the mentioned "master quest" idea is called that, you could basically have the option for the original rom and a significantly more modified one and have them be entirely separate. they wouldn't need to stuff it all into the same thing, for instance.

of course, this is game freak and not nintendo so some higher-up over there loves not cutting good deals. if extra stuff like that was a thing, or the price was bumped down, i would maybe consider biting.

i mean at this point it's just funny. have every possible type of announcement besides a nintendo direct.

but also a general direct has almost never happened in march, if anything this is pretty standard, indie worlds tend to always show up march/april.

@LuigiDude96 you greatly overestimate us pokemon complainers. i'm actually pretty satisfied with how the game looks so far.

mario wii u would love this water

@AlienX what are "the wrong boxes"? how do you judge characters so quick out of introductory comics? what on earth do you mean by the splatoon comparison???

@Joeynator3000 not sure on docked resolution but handheld is now 1080p, and presumably things should run even better (switch 2 bwc already got rid of much of the lag of endless mode)

@Kazman2007 there's an "unlock all" button in the profiles menu if you don't wanna bother

@LastFootnote my only guess is maybe they're not a fan of how many songs are "hard rock guitar with bwaow synth" but it definitely is just lying to say nothing stands out

@DennyCrane wonder is very fun on a first-time playthrough, even for someone like me very used to more difficult games. however, i do wish those pre-release rumors came true of the game being closer in difficulty to mario 3. not that i really need a hard mario game, but rather because, while many of the wonder effects are great and i wish some were expanded on more... the levels beyond that are fairly simple for a large chunk of the game. i know this team can do great challenging levels, so i don't get why they keep harshly limiting it to the last 15-20% of the game. it rarely does much except limit the level design.

kirby and the forgotten land is also easy, i know, but it's just barely above most of mario wonder enough, especially for 100%, that they can do some great level design there. wonder doesn't get anywhere near as much of a shot at it and that's a shame.

anyways, i think the framerate comparison is... strange? you can tell it's counting hitstops from killing enemies as frame drops, when that's clearly intentional. as far as i can tell otherwise, the framerate is completely locked.

@Wewewi ehhh i mean not quite? overall across the board it seems input lag is decreased quite a bit on the switch 2 edition, even ignoring the 120fps setting.

i could be crazy but even for quick fixes, i feel like they're never this quick. it only took a week!

@boxyguy isn't it fun how nintendo is seemingly deadset on making their customers doubt the value of every game or accessory they put out now thanks to the price? it's really annoying

yeahh, as far as i know, it seems likely adhoc is partly at fault, they could've made different versions for other regions but just... didn't. and kept the cero censoring in the process.

somehow i doubt nintendo specifically asked for most of this.

i think people are forgetting this is actually a very popular series, specifically in japan. nintendo likely wants tomodachi to be viewed as big games, so having the baseline 60 makes sense.

besides, it seems like this game will likely be much more involved than the 3ds version. buying it for sure.

@Nep-Nep-Freak i mean, i don't really know how you could have the former but... not the latter...?

sorry mate, all your miis are gay you can't stop it

@Anti-Matter even arcade experience aside, you can get a lot of the really good console games (extreme 2, ddr ii (wii), hottest party 3) for 8 bucks each at secondhand stores, and maybe 40 bucks per mat.

you could spend like 60 bucks total and have hundreds of great songs to play already.

@Yosher i wouldn't call doom just yet. wait until the update is out. this alongside the stealth jump nerf might actually give people being spawncamped a chance. see the comment from @Maxz .

overall it feels like this patch has a shot to make solo queue way less miserable and im not gonna call the end of all things until i get some time with it. neither should you.

also, they did say the next balance patch would come sooner than usual. chances are it'll get nerfed if it needs it.

@AussieMcBucket damn, you saw a bunch of online stuff you'll likely never touch, very little of which was seen in trailers and decided the entire game isn't worth it? what kind of creature are you!?

@Sonicka i will continue to parade around - no, mp4 did not need more advertising, they already had pretty standard coverage for a nintendo game. plus, metroid games usually live and die on the mystery of it all, what would they show off in a direct?

@Sonicka you'd be surprised how popular tomidachi actually is, namely in japan. y'all just ain't silly enough for games like this

also terabytes already made the comment i was gonna make for me. it's fine if you don't care but i don't need people like the blue yoshi who keep a conversation up just to keep talking about how much they don't care.

@AlienX how do they "represent it", exactly? they kinda just seem like decent characters they decided to make for idw.

@Sindayl somehow i feel like that should mean more girls would show up, right? "oh wow, my waifu" and all that? straight guy here, i usually end up picking the girls (birdo main!)

see, forgotten land had a much nicer updated render as the box art, so even if the word salad was still there the art itself looked nice.

jamboree tv and this just stick a new chunk onto the side of the regular art.

usual questionable commenters aside, i've noticed basically noone actually say if the co-op bug was fixed. yes, it was:

@The_Nintendo_Expat the "iconic" angle doesn't really work for me, because the answer is almost always "whatever you grew up with". of course kevin will never be iconic to you or me, we're far too used to charles.

@N00BiSH funny to bring up kermit there because i know people who can distinguish the different voice actors. the other two i won't really argue, but i don't think it's some concrete rule the next voice actor has to be mimicking the previous perfectly, and kevin has a different enough tone of voice that i would argue, no, he is not trying to mimic charles exactly.

also you said it yourself, it's a lot of melodrama from you, hence my comment. i can relate to the sadness of not having charles anymore but i specifically find people like you annoying that act as if you're watching your childhood get burned alive because mario has a voice crack now.

@N00BiSH could it gasp also be possible that kevin isn't just trying to perfectly mimic charles!?

like it's definitely unpolished depending on the game you pick but i've not seen someone as discontent with the new voice as you, he's doing a slightly different thing and it works fine for me.

kevin didn't kill charles, noobish.

@PikminMarioKirby question, what is a large roster for you? i've barely ever seen many racers with numbers close to mkw.

@SillyG hamster does good work but i do think they make up far too much for how little people are likely to buy these games. the sheer number of them is enough on its own!

@RonMexico wow i can't believe an expensive system with not a ton of games was beaten out by a system you can find for similar prices or lower with more games when everyone economically in the us in struggling... try nuance you freaks

there is no point in spelling doom for the sequel to a system that also had to wait a while for sales to pick up

@Jeronan coming back here just to say... christ, dude, calm down. yes, the whole situation is weird but if this convinces you nintendo is going down a bad path... i think your priorities are screwed up.

@Bass_X0 i want it explained how ai's progression and purpose at all matches up with how people adopted cgi. they are not comparable as tools.

nintendo seems really hellbent on updating their games the past couple weeks, huh?

@LastFootnote im sure this will really hurt the sales.

@N8tiveT3ch given your pfp as well, i feel like i have a good idea of what your taste in women is, and all i can say is rock on

@N8tiveT3ch cool, you like hades ii a lot i guess? good for you? the art is amazing anyways, why do the games featured matter?

@Misima i will say, if you're at all an artist of the art or animation variety, you'll most likely love this game way more than you reasonably should.

im one of those people it's so easy to gawk at this game sometimes

@BrokenCiv maybe, but this isn't exactly the place to ask about that.

@LightSpirit it wasn't a claim, it genuinely is a lot more common than it used to be, you're just unlucky.

though why they don't guarantee at least one 3-lap still, i don't get.

@SBandy1 i see things like "Kirby should be apologising to me for being in such an unappealing game!" and, tongue in cheek or not, it doesn't come off as not being totally straight. initial reaction is still "one of those kinds of people", you gotta be clear with intention sometimes, we're stupid.

but no duh, i was more making fun of that other dude. i don't get why people like that exist. it's kirby, for god's sake. if you don't wanna play it, you're chill, just as i don't have to convince you to like it, they shouldn't convince others why they shouldn't buy it.

air riders article comments are fun if you're looking for people who confuse "game is not for me" with "game is terrible you communist ***** should be ashamed of your tastes".

no seriously, what... what is that guy's deal

nice job, everyone who immediately assumed this was prep for an update to mess with homebrew stuff again.

the 3ds hasn't had any system updates since 2023. the 3ds, in fact, is so dead that repairs are effectively over at this point.

just stop, please

@PikaPhantom yes, it's on the details screen when you select a star on the market.

maybe this is also a roundabout way of saying general updates will probably stop after a year, maybe even including balance changes

@Lizuka i truly cannot put into words how much this comment sucks. completely misinterpreting sakurai's character as if we don't have years upon years of info on his work + ethics, directly contradicting the article you are on where he pretty much says he doesn't want to be a brand... and while his level of ramble is debatable, it's grossly exagggerated to say they say nothing useful.

normally your comments aren't this bad, what the hell did sakurai do to you and/or your family?

@Fighting_Game_Loser them barely bringing up that mode makes me think they just thought of this last minute and added it cause they felt like it

@Nep-Nep-Freak what would make you think it's offline-only?

@chiptoon the hell did the smash ultimate back button do to you? did the games & more icon kill your neighbor?

@Friendly and yet bananza was nominated for goty..?
