Maybe 10 hours? Mostly my kids. It’s lost the Mario kart magic for me 7/10

Initially not interested, but this makes me more intrigued

I love the idea of it! Recreating the camera in a more stylish and iconic fashion is great

I just went straight to 150. I’ve only 3 starred one or two cups though

I thought rainbow road was epic. Playing with the kids was a blast. When you launch up into the screen of white my 4yo son was screaming ‘I can’t see!!!!’. The whole thing had me in stitches and was pretty epic really.

For those of us with kids/fiesty unpredictable slaves, I’d just get them to do this

Appreciate the use of detritus in this review. Can I order a shenanigans in your next review?

I think I’m going to buy this. Please don’t judge me.

I know WW is much loved, but I just couldn’t gel with it… at least compared to earlier titles. I would say for me, pre switch it’s probably #5.

It’s a great game still, but against some stiff competition. If I had embraced the game cube era and played at release, my nostalgia points might have been higher.

Essentially the seafaring needed to be streamlined and if they had expanded the undersea world I would have given this a 10/10.

But when you head into that last dungeon I remember thinking just how freaking amazing that point in the game was. One of the most epic bits in the series.

I think the NA colours and the Ryu pose is better. The Japanese version Ryu’s punch blur is kind of hard to know what is happening and the downward aspect on Ryu is underwhelming. This game isn’t that old I’m surprised the art is not more awesome

He has his name on enough stuff. He is banned from credits.

Finally got my hands on it. The transfer of switch 1 is ongoing. My box came with a Mario kart world download code that also took some time to install. The process was very straight forward. Mario Kart World is a bit samey, but my kids love it and I’m hoping it will grow on me. The 24 player is definitely more chaotic.

You *****! I’ve already bought one! 🤣

Also don’t know about you guys, but I had a lot of trouble in Tetris 99 with unexpected hard drops on a lot of controllers. Hopefully I don’t get that again

I think a 1000cc mode between tracks would be hilarious

BODY READY blah blah blah.

MY BODY IS READY

GOTY for sure!

@N00BiSH I very much appreciate this simpsons deep cut reference. I suspect GameCube will be much like ‘the turkey’s a little dry’

I’m conflicted about GameCube. Wind waker and TP would be great, but as others have said, a HD remake is preferred. Which leaves just fzero gx, but honestly I’d rather play fast rmx.

GameCube probably needs some of the classics I missed like rogue squadron or metal gear twin snakes etc.

I will get the pass though for BotW, TotK and Kirby.

I was going to comment on the unnecessary bum and boob jiggle shots. But now I’m going to comment on the game cards

I did look at this video before it was pulled down and didn’t think it revealed much at all. More the flex of having a switch 2 early. Lucky schmuck.

That was very much in Japanese. Not too sure what was going on

The legends are true!
My body is ready.

@Yosti ah sorry yup I meant oblivion. Clearly showing my complete lack of elder scrolls knowledge 🤣

It kind of makes sense. We’ve had wave one of games. If they drop it in the days before, it might keep demand up when stock is low to build hype and exclusivity.

Also there may be same absolute bangers to drop. Weren’t people talking about a morrowind remaster, doom dark ages could be a chance, etc etc.

Sadly, after putting a fair bit of time into MK8 on WiiU, MK8D just didn’t have the same appeal. My kids love it though. I actually enjoyed MK Tour’s spin where it is combo driven for a change.

Given I’ve largely passed on MK8D I’m hoping MK World really sucks me in, otherwise I’ve passed peak kart racer enjoyment

Thanks for sharing your holiday (ahem I mean work) photos!

I think next year will be a Japan trip with the kids (11, 9 and 5) and this will be mandatory. Also if you’re going international for a theme park, paying for the fast pass (or whatever the express line up for rides is called) is mandatory

Love the skin on it - looks gorgeous. But I would want wireless, HD rumble and all the other features before I go third party

MY BODY IS READY.
Also @sikthvash Warilyn made me laugh out loud.

Cracking game developer names. Ticked off all the major lotr memes that I can recall

Meh. Tell me when it upgrades to Mario kart world.

@Spider-Kev I think I need a bigger sd card

In Australia here. Ordered from JB hifi within hours of pre orders going live. They’ve not stated anywhere that I’m wait listed, so assume I’ve for one. But I’m a little nervous, it’s been too easy.

Will hit this up if Mario kart world disappoints

They’ve had a lot of time to work on this too. Mario kart 8 was a rehash of the WiiU version. So maybe the $80 also reflects the development above and beyond expected. I totally anticipate the same price for prime 4.

@Daniel36 haha I’m such an innocent. Didn’t realise it was a Grindr for gaming inclined folks

Haha smash together. Doesn’t sound like it’s about dating on the face of it.

And the SNES version of Prince of Persia 1 was an absolute cracker

Would play this. And would recommend to those who have never played.

I hope (and suspect) my kids will love game chat. They would love to see their friends whilst playing and no doubt they wouldn’t care about choppiness of game performance. I think game chat will be a hit with the kids but it will be a pity for the dedicated gamers.

I appreciate the 1.21 gigawatts reference. I was playing my switch, there was a flash of light, then I was in 1985!

I pulled the trigger on a 256Gb card. I intend to download most of my games, my kids switch game cards and how they look after them is atrocious. But starting to worry I’ll be flat out having enough storage for more than 8-16 games this way.

Not everyone will have a comfortable set up with a table. I wonder how many mouse thigh warriors switch 2 will create?

This is good… but the samus arrives clip on my Nintendo is epic

Sadly I never got into SMK. In the SNES era, F-Zero got me first and when I tried SMK later on I just didn’t like it.

Mario Kart 64 will probably forever be my favourite racer though because nostalgia and it was just an era where you played local multiplayer which is probably the most fun way to share a game

Also whilst I realise the rainbow road bit in the title is a play on a common phrase, I came in here thinking was going to get a glimpse of Mario kart world rainbow road

Clearly they didn’t get a free switch or Jack would have weasel’d his way into the ad. Would have appreciated an appearance from Hamish though

That’s a popular claim that I have seen… that PS2 basically was the cheapest DVD player on the market for the longest time. What are people’s thoughts? Is that even a fair claim? If true, it really does tarnish their sales records as ‘best selling console of all time’

For me frogger and quake and goldeneye were pretty neck and neck. Quake was amazing with a loyal following but the original doom was probably that bit more influential in that space. And frogger probably also had some more influential games at that time.

Goldeneye blew me away at the time it dropped in ?1997. I remember thinking that it was like controlling a movie (please don’t laugh at me - it was the 90s!). I basically bought my n64 for goldeneye (and then Zelda dropped).

I only ever played a side scrolling gex on 3DO. It was ok but I’ll pass on this.

EDIT: wrote 3DS instead of 3DO lol

I had it in my head switch 1 was at 150 million units. Looks like they project another 4.5 million for this year.
Doesn’t look like switch 1 will crack Playstation 2 unless Nintendo slashes prices or something wild.

Would love some more certainty on prime 4. The wish list is long but Mario kart and prime 4 are the non-negotiable games.

Bought my micro sd express card so I’m prepared to go digital on this one. They’re slowly pushing us digital.
