It reminds me a lot of the 2D sections in Mario + Luigi, more specifically Dream Team. Don't like the text with the combos as it looks distracting and I don't get the flowers. I also hope there's more characters to come. But it looks good..... And it should've been called Super Mario Wonderland
Oh no... I feel my hopes getting raised. I don't even know why exactly. How long has it been since the store did an event like this? Maybe we can put it down to Covid and it's unrelated to this specific Direct being extra special.
I for one, am thrilled. Loved the first game. It gets far more play at gatherings than Mario Party does. It's a lot simpler to understand and far more fun to watch. Especially the plate spinning mini game (which can get violent in our group).
I do love this game, especially more than Speedstorm which I've already given up on, but this roadmap doesn't feel particularly exciting. The starpaths are ones already done and Belle + Vanellope were already seen in trailers. But I'm glad B&tB is getting a realm - even though I hoped it'd be sooner.
@Not_Soos My ex is my second best friend, and we were together for four years. I had her and her current boyfriend of a year over last weekend for a Eurovision party. I agree, it's not weird at all.
The game is interesting to me, but seems a bit expensive and the DLC packs (assuming they're all priced like that) definitely seem too expensive. Maybe there'll be a version of all the content in the future for a more reasonable price.
I loved Toad, specifically when Mario and Peach were parked up next to each other after designing their karts and he comes rolling up beside them with his massive car 😂😂
A generous 7 from me. Hopefully they can add more depth to the characters next time and allow the score to do the heavy lifting without the awful use of pop music. Easily my two biggest complaints. The animation and most of voice cast were great. <3 Toad <3 Luigi <3 Bowser
If I'm gonna give any predatory cash grabbing racing game a chance this Spring, it's probably gonna be the Lego one. I cannot stand the awful karts and boring outfits this game has and how they think they're a "perk" worth upgrading your edition for.
Would have loved the Disney game. Sure there's similarities to Dreamlight Valley, and whilst I love that game, it has no combat. This game would've scratched that itch and contained properties that aren't currently in the Valley.
Also would like another Batman, that Mando DLC and the Harry Potter game
The long rumoured Epic Mickey remaster/remake is the only thing I really want, especially as 100 Years of Disney just started I think it's good timing.
I'm out tomorrow night. Nevermind. The news doesn't change if I watch it live. Hopefully I can still avoid spoilers for it until I'm back but I'm not expecting anything massive that'll appeal to me anyway.
Nice to see some older and more obscure characters in there. Still can't say I'm too interested in the game, but I love Dreamlight Valley so much I feel I should at least give this a chance.
Got all the valley upgrades and nearly done all the quests, just waiting on getting Ariel and Ursula to Lvl10 (currently lvl 8). It's kind of annoying that you can't make progress with them as quickly as everyone else as they can't assist in activities. Should unlock Prince Eric then. Absolutely love this game, despite the crashes on PS4. I'm constantly saving every few minutes in fear of walking into a building and then loosing progress. It's well worth the £25 if you're a Disney fan.
Tip I discovered today is you can move the wishing wells to the points inaccessible earlier in the game. Like in the Forest of Valor, behind the tree stumps. Then just use fast travel and access that area. Also, don't convert your 40 Dream sparks you get at the beginning.
Francis Lawrence's direction in his Hunger Games movies is pretty decent, their weaknesses were in their story and writing mostly. But with Michael Green writing, this sounds like a very promising combination. The biggest red flag is Netflix themselves.
I misread that first review, I thought for a moment there was a Donald Duck remaster that I missed out on. So to answer their question, yes, Donald Duck Quack Attack deserves a remaster.
I wish the technic pieces used for supports were clear, otherwise it's pretty perfect. I also think the price is pretty good, though my hesitation is that it's not Lego and I don't have any experience with Mega.
This reminds me of the time back in 2014, NintendoLife hosted a Smash Bros event before the release of the 3DS/Wii U game. In order to get a Smash Bros Dog tag, I was forced to play the demo of Rise of Lyric...

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, A Brand New 2D Mario Game, Is Coming To Switch
Not massive on the name. Should change it to Super Mario Wonderland
But the game looks chaotic and fun

Very excited to finally play this. Day One but I think
Re: Detective Pikachu Returns At Last This October On Switch
Looks a little rough at the moment in the voice department, and they didn't show any puzzles. But I'm glad it's finally showed off
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy Swoops To Switch This Fall
Looks like I'll be 100% Arkham City again for the fifth platform!
My favourite game of all time ♥️

Really regret spending money on this game. Gave it a few days but it felt like a chore to play.

Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Gets Its Very Own Monopoly Set
Looks incredibly low effort. Didn't even design the board to have a full design.

I just choked on my drink that was so funny.
I'm sure it'll get ported to consoles eventually

Re: Poll: How Many 3DS Consoles Have You Owned?
An Aqua Blue 3DS and the Black New 3DSXL
Re: Video: Everything That Could Go Wrong With The Switch's Successor
Backwards compatibility is the main thing. Nobody needs to buy Tropical Freeze for a third time just for the New Extremely Extra Funky Mode

Loved it... Well... Except the one second appearance of those dungaree wearing yellow things...

Re: Where To Buy Metroid Prime Remastered On Switch
Pre-ordered with ShopTo. Can't remember the last time I pre-ordered a game, it's been a good while
Re: Derezz And Detect In Bithell Games' TRON: Identity, Out On Switch In April
If reviews are good, I'll get this. Not a fan of this type of game typically, but I do love Tron
Re: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Dev Announces Hot Wheels Follow-Up
I did not see this coming. Why is it so much more expensive than Mario Kart was though?

Re: Ex-Nintendo Host Kit Ellis Says We May Find Out Why Nintendo's Skipping E3 "Sooner Rather Than Later"
Obviously it's because they'll have their own event dedicated to unveil the long awaited and much anticipated Nintendo NX
Re: Everything Announced In Disney Dreamlight Valley's 2023 Roadmap: Multiplayer, Olaf, And More
Really hoping the Parks star path has more than just American parks content. Would love little models of all the castles, but especially Paris'
Excited for Olaf, but do not care for Encanto.

@Bret I think @EvilRegal was making a Back to the Future Part II reference and the Jaws 19 advertisement. I think.
