So Mario 2 on the NES (where you lift the baddies and throw them) is dead to Nintendo?

Just now realising the super Mario USA naming 🤯

Tough poll. 2 x 2D Mario’s at the top is interesting but I can totally understand why with my nostalgia hat on. Galaxy and Odyssey are phenomenal games though.

I’m tempted by both. I think the Galaxy series was phenomenal. But after all stars I just don’t see the point in both. Maybe galaxy 2? But if reviews say it looks phenomenal, maybe I’ll triple dip on galaxy 1 and get both

For the price they will ask, I assume it has a fleshlight feature

I haven’t played through it for probably 30-35 years. No judgement from me. There are far better versions of Mario.

SMBs historical value is far greater than its playthrough value in this day and age(to me). Especially with 3D Mario’s etc. also as I’ve gotten older and more time poor this is not a game I would choose to go back to.

It’s strange having kids that would be my age when I played Mario but they mostly have little interest and lack the skill to play this. I think I would have been 9 / 1989-1990 when I first encountered Mario. Game designers have provided far more options and platformers don’t appeal to my kids anyway

The bike popping a wheelie then going sideways to kill the 2 enemies was super clunky. I hope that’s not close to the final build.

@Azileron ahhh thank you at first I was under the impression it was NA only for now. Rather myopic of me 😜

@Azileron nerdy burn. Love it

So far I don’t see that they are available in Australia. I do want to buy one for historical purposes more than playing the worst of their consoles 🤣

Doesn’t surprise me. Nintendo has long had the cynical strategy of selling the same game multiple times.

I’m glad they’re not forcing you to buy both. But I’ll be super annoyed if the Mario Galaxy 1 is hugely improved.

I would love for Nintendo to include NES / SNES without a paid subscription. It would be a nice offering for their customers.

Metroid prime 4
Prime 2&3 in interim
Something crazy like the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remaster

I don’t see a new Mario game, but I think others have already called Super Mario Bros 2 - the movie, could drop the trailer for the 40th anniversary

Doom: The Dark Ages
Elden ring
Diablo IV

Yeah, that should do it

Sorry acclaim. None of these are my jam

Bla bla bla September 11 direct bla bla Nate the hate bla bla bla

Fingers crossed 🤞

Never played the game so unbiased. I’m thinking Europe. But would have switched my vote to NA if the ladies face had anything to do with the game - but it sounds like it didn’t.

Direct in a month. I literally mean it will occur inside a month, I’m not specifying which month. Technically it’s impossible for a direct to be outside of a month.

Samus Claus? Well played.

My kids will lose their freaking minds. Well played Nintendo.

Rumour me intrigued.

Yeah it is pretty odd that unreleased games are up for awards. There is probably still work being done on MP4 for example

I’ve hit peak Mario kart saturation. Like others have said 5-10 minutes for me and the fun was over. But clearly something about this franchise resonates. Maybe for those not playing it since the 90s

I’m just stoked for the hollow knight fans. The wait for this game has been a low grade running joke for a while now. Looking forward to reading the comments in the week following the release to the general population

lol at this redacted thread!

A bit off topic, but were there sources that said prime 2 and 3 had been ready for ages? Or am I imagining it. It may have been that TP and WW had HD versions waiting.

Anyway would love some more prime games before beyond

I remember acclaim back in the day. Can’t remember their games though…. Time for some google-fu

I spent a lot of time on the wizards & warriors trilogy - looking back time has not been kind and I think rare probably had their fingers in it. And Bart v space mutants I played a bit but wasn’t the best game on the NES.

I’ll be surprised if this generates much excitement

I’ll probably give this a red hot crack when it drops

I’d laugh if it was an announcement that it is delayed. That degree of trolling would win the interwebs

He could be both knowledgeable and a tool

I would love to play shadow of the colossus - so bring that back like portal. Otherwise I’m very into doom right now, plays pretty good on switch 2, so give me an impossible dark ages port. And I’ll take Indiana Jones just because I’m an 80s/90s kid at heart

I imagine pushing a wheelchair builds some real wrist strength. So those of us not in wheelchairs with fragile wrists just have to accept the developers bringing that realism of wheelchair based sport through the discomfort of sideways joycons.

I writing this in jest of course.

This is not very PC but in terms of wheelchair based video games, but I always imagined a Stephen Hawking Pro-Wheelchair game in the vein of tony hawk. It would have been ridiculously funny and because it was Stephen Hawking the physicist maybe you could chuck in a teleport ability because clearly this would not have been a game to take seriously.

Switch 1 the plug in the base of my dock broke from toddlers constantly pulling the console in and out.

Bought a 3rd party ‘dock’ that resembled the talacone and had no issues. If the dock fan provides no cooling to the switch as others have pointed out, then replicating a plug/cable and HDMI output seems a reasonable option.

I will look into this for the second tv

Ok. I still have big time reservations about this movie. Please do it justice.

I hope they troll this hard

I wonder if switch2 will allow mouse control. Oh Lordy if it does

I tried to play this back in early switch 1 days. Partly as a homage to the original which I played to death back in the 90s. The loading times sucked, I struggled with the playstyle that needed constant aggression and didn’t come back to it until switch 2.

Now that I’ve figured out the playstyle that works, wow I love this game. Just bought doom eternal when I’m only halfway through doom 2016 and fingers crossed dark ages lands on switch 2.

This is a very enjoyable game I have to say, but for those who played the original there is a learning curve and you cannot play cautiously.

August 20-24. Hopefully a Nintendo life person or two can get some hands on and let us know the verdict

Finally, a positive for silksong fans! Me, I just want prime 4

Sorry silksong fans. This is becoming a joke

My kids are mad for this game. I’ll be getting it for them for sure

I expect weekly directs now

Wow. Non specific breaking news.

Bad luck Nate the Hate. July is on its last legs. I’m definitely feeling the “SOON (TM)” vibes though.

EDIT: Just remembered July has 31 days. So I’ll shut my pie hole.

No news yet and it’s Monday 28/7 in Australia/Japan. V last minute if Nintendo drops this direct

Yes please but where is my Zelda Lego?

Doronko Wanko? Isn’t that Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters?

Soon as bowser makes a move she’s always on Mario’s arm. Perhaps peach is toxic bad news causing all the Mario bowser conflict.

I actually quite enjoy the combo driven game play of tour. I must be the only one. Knock Out is a great shake up of the MK world formula, but the series definitely needed a pivot. My kids still are obsessed though.

@The_Nintend_Pedant There’s something about your George Costanza avatar that makes me interpret all your comments like they’re coming from George. I think I must have a Seinfeld region of my brain deep down

Hulkamoto SMASH!

I wasn’t going to get this, but the comments section here has sold me.

That’s so bad. But not bad enough to be good. Close though.

Ummmm big DK energy….

Metroid 4 news hopefully. Give me the full prime trilogy too
