Please tell me that Little Witch in the Woods is coming out in America as well. I've been waiting for the game to come out on Switch since I saw the game on Steam.

Normally I'm all about those grass starters but this time I'm leaning towards Pombon. I'll want to see their final evolutions before I decide. If Pombon goes two legged, I'm going back to Browt.

My brother and I are playing Super Mario Strikers for the first time. Once we figured out how to actually play the game, we have been having a lot of fun with the game.

I'm not a fan of either cover. The NA one is too cluttered and the Japanese one feels generic.

It releases in early March, just in time for my nephews first birthday.

25 games over 358 hours (considering that Nintendo is my primary console, this is my second lowest year going back to 2017 (2019 was my lowest at 338 hours), and this was the year of the new hardware launch; that doesn't seem like a good sign.)

Top played games
1. Tears of the Kingdom (63 hours)
2. Pokemon Legends Z-A (56 hours)
3. Donkey Kong Bananza (39 hours)

Favorite game of the year
1. Mika and the Witch's Mountain (14 hours)
2. Avowed (82 hours) [Steam]
3. Pokémon Legends Z-A (56 hours)

He would be fine if there was an option to stop him from calling me on the radio constantly.

The NPC were fine otherwise. Although I did hate the entire Mines sequence and the first phase of the final boss.

@NintendoBMA We already have a Metroid movie. It's called Alien.

@Robot99 there is a hide Google AI Overview chrome extension that you can use.

If the game is rated mature, them the game shouldn't be shown to kids in the first place, so this censorship feels unnecessary in the first place.

It seems an easy answer for Nintendo would to be automatically hide mature content from kid's accounts (don't show Ma or T games), or add the ability to hide those games in the parental controls.

I still refuse the play the demo. I'm ready for the full game to be here.

@UltimateOtaku91 what? Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is not an open world game. You unlock the world in a linear order. You can just choose to go back to older areas.

I have low expectations for this movie. The looks are fine. Nothing exciting, nothing obviously wrong.

@TheFatPlumber That is why you should always have you sensitive electronics on a surge protector.

@Willo567 yeah. It sounds like the Master Sword Trials is cut content.

I looked and found a outfit I liked (moss green shacket, black denim skinny jeans, moss green knit beret, round glasses, black quarter socks green/black high-tip sneakers, and physic black fleece satchel) and I stopped looking at what the stores offered.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I hope the Legends series is the new mainline. The combat is the most fun I have had in any game in a long time.

11/21 surprising since I haven't seen or hear of most of these games.

I actually had to restart the game. I started the game with my favorite option Chikorita. But I remembered that in X and Y we could get one of the Kanto starters.

So I looked it up and we can get a Kanto and all the Kalos starters. So I had to go with my boy Bulbasaur and my girl Fennekin. That left me with my second choice Totodile.

Totodile being my second choice has more to do with how much I dislike Emboar, than how much I like Totodile. I replayed Silver and Gold many times as a kid, but I never chose Totodile.

@RadioDog I'm assuming it just means new to you.

My initial thought was an average of 6-9 a year. But I just checked my spreadsheet I have/had a total of 343 games over the course of my entire life that averages to over 10 games a year.

My Switch (+2) library alone is 140 games. That's an average of 17.5 games a year.

So I might have a problem. At least only 3% (11) of those games are unplayed. And 74% have been finished.

Honestly I have so many other games to play, I'm fine with minor delays. I trust them that the final product will be good and if they need more time then take it.

I have Mario Galaxy 1 from the 3D All Stars pack, and I bought Galaxy 2 before the WiiU eShop closed. So I have no desire to rebuy the games right now.

Besides I'm not the biggest fan of Galaxy's level design. It's not bad, but I prefer the open level design of Sunshine, 64 and Odyssey.

@ShieldHero did you forget that the AI manufacturer creates a profit off of people using their AI. So you have a separate company using Nintendo's IP ( and others) assets without permission to generate a profit. They would be suing the AI manufacturer, not the individual people posting the free videos online.

And even at the AI, manufacturer is not generating profit off of these specific videos, or the people who make those videos, then they will be generating profit from the advertisement they I receiving by those videos existing.

I was interested in Silksong, but after hearing how tedious the gameplay is with forced grinding and backtracking in order to grind, I decided to give Silksong a pass. I have too many games in my backlog, so it's nice to drop a game from it.

LONG LIVE DISCO! I love this stupid design.

I appreciate Nintendo is offering a cheaper cardboard option, and not just selling the $100 option.

@Kiyata those games are usually referred to as life sims, so I would go with simulation.

I might have answered "How many full price games do you typically buy a year?" wrong. I thought it was how many games do you buy not on sale. But now I think it refers to AAA $60 games.

The wording is a little confusing.

I said none even though I'm not planning on picking up Silksong. Eventually I will get around to it. But I still have to finish Avowed and play the other games I recently bought on a sale.

@RiasGremory I would imagine a cease and desist letter, followed by legal actions if they don't remove the images. Either way the scummy move.

Considering the controller is specifically advertised for the Switch/2, the button layout issue is a big extremely basic mistake. That alone makes me question the quality of the controller, and the manufacturer in general.

If we consider 5 to be an average then a 7.5 for Mario Kart World seems reasonable. That said the review bombing is not going to help anything, even if I wish we didn't have the bland intermission tracks.

@Bunkerneath Double Dash had an All Cup Tour where you raced every course in the game at once. That was so much fun. I wish they brought it back.

I can't imagine the Mario Kart would be fun to play online, unless it is with your friends. Although the best experience will still be split screen.

It's all a matter of whether the developers' are able to squeeze her butt onto the handheld.

Joking aside, I heard the game was well received and that it was a Sony exclusive, so I never really cared about it. (I don't have a PlayStation.) If it comes to Switch 2, then I will take a look at it.

My 2.5 year old niece likes "playing" Maruo Kart World for a few seconds then she's on to the next thing. It's nice having all the auto-play features although the steering just keeps her going straight until she hits a wall. It would be nicer if it helped to keep her on the roads.

Personally, I find it boring. I don't see a point to the open world; like BotW and TotK, the rewards are seriously lacking. I don't care about stickers, so the missions and collectables have no purpose except their own existence. The only useful part of the open world is grinding for alternative costumes, even though it is very boring.

While I feel it is too early to place MK World on a best chart, the placement seems reasonable to me.

As a Mario Kart game World is ok. Knockout tour is fun. And the 24 racers add a nice sense of chaos. But I don't like how straight the courses are. The drives between courses makes the races feel rather samie, and just leaves me confused as to when we started on the actual course. Not to mention how unexciting free roam is.

Hopefully we will at least have Double Dash. Being able r

I never had Sony console. And I have no desire to buy one in the future.

@Meowmixes98 As bare bones as this game is and for $80, there better not be any paid DLC.

I hate how all of gaming is going to the open world model. I haven't bothered with free roam. It doesn't look interesting or what I want out of a Mario Kart game. Especially, since it can't be played with split-screen co-op on a single Switch 2.

The new courses are fun, but I hate driving between levels in grand prix. They are too straight and not nearly as satisfying as just playing the courses themselves. They really need to add a classic grand prix mode. And no the VS mode is not a good fix.

That said I enjoyed knock out tour more than I thought. It was a fun. All the extra racers makes the races feel chaotic.

Was is just me or did the developers slow the game down? 100cc in World felt slower than MK8. Even 150cc feels closer to 100cc. Forget that awful mirror mode. We need 200cc and maybe 250cc.

The Switch 2 screen looks way better than my day 1 Switch screen. I haven't had an OLED Switch to compare, but I have no complaints so far.

Game-key cards seem like an improvement over the older code in a box releases. That said, I'm planning to avoid either physical release.

Sounds like a pass from me. I want the farming.

@JohnnyMind I don't understand how people can't grasp this. Nintendo can't sue Palworld for copyright or trademark infringement because the game meets the legal requirements of a parody of Pokémon.

This left Nintendo with the double-edged sword of patient infringement to go after Palworld. And even then Nintendo didn't do anything until Sony got involved with Palworld. Sony is who Nintendo is worried about not Pocketpair.

@Nintendomatt64 It's because Palworld legally meets the definition of parody, making it exempt from normal IP laws

The only games I want to see from Ubisoft is a new Mario + Rabbids game and Beyond Good & Evil 2 (if it actually exists).

@Kiddd https://www.ign.com/articles/palworld-dev-signs-deal-with-sony-to-form-palworld-entertainment-and-expand-the-ip

Sony Music and Aniplex (also Sony) partnered with Pocketpair to create a new company Palworld Entertainment to manage Palworld and turn it into a multimedia empire. This is much more than just buying the IP.

@Kiddd You need to open your eyes, it was Sony partnering with Pocketpair to setup a new Palworld company that forced Nintendo to sue. Palworld counts as parody so it's protected from a copyright lawsuit.
