It seems fair to say that what development had happened had been restarted and they didn't seem an announcement of that fact was necessary as no official announcement of the game had even been made in the first place.
It'll just take announcements away from E3. This is bad. Why can't he just stick with making The Game Awards better rather than having two lousy events every year. Summer Game Fest is awful.
I've honestly not got high expectations for announcements. I fully expect Breath of the Wild 2, but I'm just not really interested in it anymore. Honestly, I feel like the only reveal that will almost definitely happen that I will care about will be Mario Kart Wave 2 tracks. I'd really love something from my childhood like Nintendogs, but considering how they just handled Wii Sports, maybe I don't.
This has gone into my "absolutely no way" pile. It's just a Sonic mod slapped on some open world tech demo. It's boring, slow, and has none of the character and charm of the franchise.
More games for solo play and some for more players would be good. I'd also package all the original content as well. More like a Wii Fit Plus kind of deal.
@Shiryu On my second try I got 149 and didnt get anything. So I think Staffer is the only reward. (Unless there's something at 150, which I REALLY hope not)
If this is anything like the Dodo Airlines Animal Crossing bag that we got, this is a must get. That thing is sturdy as heck and I use it all the time. Incredible quality. I hope this one comes to Europe because I'll get it too.
I actually find I prefer the single bananas/shells over the triples. Because they rotate around the player and once one has been used, you're still quite open to attacks, and if a player bumps into you, you use an item when you normally don't want to. Singular versions give you far more control.
@Duncanballs I'm currently playing on PS4 (base model) and it's still absolutely beautiful but I'm noticing a few frame rate dips and tiny amounts of slow down particularly in cutscenes. It's a nitpick for sure. If you've got the option I'd definitely pick a next gen console like Series X over Switch.
Ninja Hideaway looked crazy. Looked forward to playing that. The Paris one seemed a little confusing, but I'm sure I'd pick it up. I also don't play at 200cc typically, so that probably doesn't help. I also really loved the Tokyo one. I'm really excited to play
Pretty sure that's just "generic blonde woman" actually. I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it again. The decision to have unthemed karts and everyone in similar racing outfits is outright poor. Having Jack Sparrow on a Black Pearl themed Kart and Davy Jones on a Flying Dutchman one would've been cool. This is rubbish.
If the Mario Kart DLC didn't kill this already, this definitely does. I'll be staying well away from this game. Why is it apparently so difficult to make a fun arcadey kart racing game with beloved characters? The Disney game is next, but it's at the very least free to play.
Interested to see what happens to Arceus sales next week. The Scarlet/Violet announcement certainly put me off a bit more from getting it. I'd rather wait and compare.
Think I'm optimistic, but I doubt it'll be the SNES due to the American/Rest of the world differences in design, but instead, as it's releasing October 1st, the long awaited Zelda Breath of the Wild set
I'm not surprised. I'm also not sure what I'm still missing from the 3DS. I managed to get the Mario + Luigi games I was missing and a Spider-Man game I always wanted last year.
EDIT: Luigi's Mansion is the only one I can think of. Never played the original. I was hoping they'd port it to Switch
Bit late Nintendo. I've woken up every day for the last five years, had a coffee, brushed my teeth, gotten dressed and dropped my Switch from my bedroom window and JUST NOW you're telling me I SHOULDN'T do that?!?! Ridiculous.
Have to give it an amazing rating. If not this, I don't know what direct I could give that to. Best announcement was Strikers and I don't care about the Splatoon music?
-Mario Strikers, Mario Kart 8 DLC and Portal are absolute wins for me. Kirby still looks amazing. -I'm cautiously optimistic for Switch Sports, but it's lacking the charm of Wuhu Island and the music and Fall is a long time to wait for the next update. -I'll keep an eye on Disney Speedstorm because the courses look great. But free to play is a massive red flag and the karts are terrible. -I've always wanted to play the Force Unleashed, but it looks a bit rubbish graphically so I'll wait on reviews and a price. -Klonoa looks fun even if I've never heard of it. -No Batman was a huge surprise... Overall, the best direct for me in years.

Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?
I think the first game I personally owned was Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge for GBA.
First game I played was probably Fifa with my brother on PlayStation. Heck knows which one.
Re: New Pokémon Pikachu Build-A-Bear Plushies Announced
Scarlett and Violet themed? Sort of? Too much of a coincidence to have red AND purple jackets.
Love the winking Pikachu face
Re: Nintendo Teases Giant 'LEGO Super Mario' Comic-Con Reveal

They've release today and I'm on holiday 😭

You'll get your Pikmin 4 eventually, I'm sure.

I just want E3

I already have those titles from the first wave. Are they already repeating?

Re: UNO Gets 'Assassin's Creed Valhalla' DLC On Switch
@Joeynator3000 Been saying the same thing for years. Monopoly video games have been a massive waste of potential.
Re: Random: Everyone Is Trying To Kill Child Anakin In LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, But He Can't Die
I did this almost immediately. But I also grew up in the "let's drown our toddler Sims in the pool" era

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Tracking Above Its Predecessor In Overseas Markets
Even though I didn't like it as much as the first, I'm glad it's doing better. Pretty much guarantees a third film.
@Anti-Matter According to IMDB, it releases 6th April in Indonesia.

Doesn't bother me as long as though don't miss out classics like Bulbasaur this time
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet Announced, Releasing Worldwide In "Late 2022"
Arceus was a good reason to delay this a year and make it look well, not crap.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2022 Nintendo Direct?

Best announcement was Strikers and I don't care about the Splatoon music?

Re: Disney Is Releasing A New Free-To-Play Racer On Switch This Summer
The courses look great but the karts and outfits are terrible. It's like embarrassed to be Disney?
