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.
Arkham City is my favourite game and I will play it on every system it seems. But I really want to play Arkham Origins again without having to dig out my PS3
@Dirty0814 Yeah, my Rayman is also on cart and I paid about £12 for it. This isn't a very good deal when these games are always on sale. Unless you're desperate for empty boxes
Ah Nintendo's compression abilities are a thing of absolute beauty. I imagine I'll likely go physical with this though. Probably get a cheaper deal before launch.
I actually think it'll be released June/July time The release date for Breath of the Wild was only announced two months before. I predict similar for this but with the February direct.
Unless they fix the map rotation and make it more of a voting deal like Mario Kart, then I'm passing. I get so bored playing the same maps for multiple hours.
They only announced the launch date for Breath of the Wild a couple of months before. I reckon it'll get announced in February and launch July at the latest.
I've been enjoying it. I always get at least 6k steps in just walking to my train station most days of the week. Plus the walk back and what I'm doing around town. It's nice to sort out my stuff once I'm sat in the pub. Problem I have is absolutely nobody else seems to be playing. All the flowers are definitely just mine. Bit sad.
I had 9/10 Switch games missing Sword/Shield 9/10 Wii U missing Luigi U 7/10 3DS missing X/Y, OR/AS, and US/UM 7/10 Wii missing New Mario Bros, Smash Brawl, and Galaxy (though I've got it with 3D All Stars now) and finally 6/10 DS missing all the Pokemon and Mario 64 DS

Re: Disney Is Releasing A New Free-To-Play Racer On Switch This Summer
