Only got two games the entire year: Mario Rabbids 2 and Wreckfest.
Got before a few Pokemon games but this year I felt that they weren't bringing anything interesting to me, plus their quality leave a lot to be desired.
Splatoon is not my thing, I bought the 2nd but couldn't enjoy it.
Xenoblade I haven't played any so didn't want to start from the the last entry.
So, for me, the year was terrible for the first party titles.
Let's be honest, if it was released this month it would be difficult to sell.
With Nier, No Man's, Mario Rabbids, Bayonetta etc all available in October, who in the right mind would purchase Ark?
This game had its chance and missed the opportunity.
Pushing the release to November they might have a better chance to sell it for those that avoided the disaster, well, that is if they really fix the mess of the original version.
It's crazy how many games are going to be released in October. I have so many in my basket but can only get one. It will be a difficult choice. Mario + Rabbids was an amazing game so I'm considering getting this one over the others.
Started with the greatest of all : Ocarina of Time.
To this day I still remember the music from several temples and the songs played on the Ocarina.
It would be amazing to have a remake of it!
Jesus, enough of Kirby, Pokemon and etc of the same. Give us Wave Race, 1080, Pillotwings, Star Fox, F-Zero, Diddy Kong Race or any other interesting dormant IP!!
Haven't played any in the series yet but I guess I don't have any more excuses to delay this experience.
Looking for good deals on the previous games if anyone is aware of some discounts available!
For any Darkstalkers fans, I'd recommend to looks for the Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge which is a four-episode OVA anime series.
It's nicely animated.
@mariomaster96 indeed, the last one was good but no games that I would like to get immediately.
MK DLC is attached to the subscription which I don't plan to have yet and Strikers seems fun but I'd wait for a discount in the near future.
All the rest are not of interest to me.
I guess I'm craving for some dormant IP from Nintendo, hence, the reason I don't have great expectations for the next Direct as I think they won't have any 'surprises'.
I'm still awaiting more boards in the previous game 😂 Haven't got the new one as I wanted to wait for the DLC that would be made available. Sounds like 5 boards isn't much either.
@TYRANACLES yes, for the Switch! I bought it when it was released but never had the time to play it properly. Now, I'm giving it another go and it's been a good experience. Highly recommended if you like this kind of games.
@ModdedInkling they could do something similar to Split Second and players could change the layout of the track.
I think it would be a nice plus along with the classic item boxes.
Will try to sell my copy of the other Mario Party and with the money will get this one second hand. This time, I'll not buy it new. Won't be fooled twice.
As crazy as it can be, I'd love to see something really unexpected like: A Marvel character (i.e Wolverine) Master Chief Doom guy Waluigi Etc Just hope that it's not someone with a sword again.
@The_Pixel_King that time was really the golden age of F1.
No BS of team managers calling drivers in the radio to let the partner take over, no computerised cars, etc.
Everything was so raw and challenging to everyone.
Nowadays is extremely boring. Don't even follow it anymore. It's just not fun.
As usual, the 33% rule on Nintendo games apply 😂 From that list available, either I have the game or I'm not interested... I hope Doom Eternal will get a nice discount, that one has been far too long in my wish list.
@Clyde_Radcliffe I must retract my comment. Actually, found out that NoA did tweet about it on the 14th.
And, I think you are wrong when you say that if Nintendo is not the publisher they don't advertise the games.
If you check their twitter account you'll see then twitting about everything, including Puma range of Animal Crossing shoes.
Other examples are, Doom, Fortnite, Sonic etc...

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2023
Batman would be so good!
But, tbh, pretty much any from the list would be great to have it.
Re: New Digimon World: Next Order Gameplay Trailer Released, Launching On Switch February 2023
Same graphic qualities that the new Pokemon game has if not slightly better.
Re: Ark's Ultimate Survivor Edition For Nintendo Switch Has Been Delayed Again
@Old_Man_Nintendo tbh, I completely forgot about them but in any case there would be less competition.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Piece Of Music In A Nintendo Game?
Nothing from Ocarina of Time?
Re: Mortal Kombat Celebrates 30 Years Of Fatalities, Friendships And Flawless Victories
Played a lot of MK on the SNES/Mega drive era.
Then on the N64 as well.
After that I haven't played any of the games until MK11 on the Switch.
Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here
It's looking very good!
Re: Nintendo Announces A Special Direct Presentation For Super Mario Bros. Movie
Can't wait to see the trailer!
In general I like Chris so I'm hoping he will do a good job voicing Mario.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Won't Include Multiplayer
It's crazy how many games are going to be released in October.
I have so many in my basket but can only get one.
It will be a difficult choice.
Mario + Rabbids was an amazing game so I'm considering getting this one over the others.
Re: Poll: So, How Are You Pronouncing Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
What is the name in Japanese?
Did they keep it in English as well?
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See At Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct Showcase?
Just the classic list:
F-Zero
Pillotwings
Wave Race
1080
Star Fox
Diddy Kong Race
Etc
Re: SNK vs. Capcom Revival On The Cards, Both Parties Apparently Interested
Capcom vs SNK 2 is, IMHO, one of the best fighting games of all time.
If they can build up on that with a new entry, then, it will be an amazing game.
Re: Talking Point: What Was Your First Legend Of Zelda Game?
Started with the greatest of all : Ocarina of Time.
To this day I still remember the music from several temples and the songs played on the Ocarina.
It would be amazing to have a remake of it!
Re: Random: Fast RMX Dev Shin'en Multimedia Would Love A "New" Wave Race Game On Switch
At this point I'd be happy with a remake of either entry.
But, still have hopes Nintendo will revive it like it did with Cruis'n.
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Next N64 Game For Its Switch Online + Expansion Pack Service
Give us a new entry!
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Trailer Unveils Region Name And New Mechanics
It looks awful.
Please give it to Monolith next time.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch Games
Jesus, enough of Kirby, Pokemon and etc of the same.
Give us Wave Race, 1080, Pillotwings, Star Fox, F-Zero, Diddy Kong Race or any other interesting dormant IP!!
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - An Epic, Emotionally-Charged Masterpiece
Haven't played any in the series yet but I guess I don't have any more excuses to delay this experience.
Looking for good deals on the previous games if anyone is aware of some discounts available!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 16th)
I'm going to be playing Wreckfest all the weekend.
What a fun game! Highly recommended.
Re: Best Switch Games For Short Play Sessions
Cruis'n Blast and Wreckfest should be on the list too.
Re: Feature: Capcom Fighting Collection - Every Game, And Why You Should Be Excited
For any Darkstalkers fans, I'd recommend to looks for the Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge which is a four-episode OVA anime series.
It's nicely animated.
Re: EA Has "Some Surprises" You Apparently Won't Want To Miss
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
EA surprises 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Re: Check Out The First Gameplay Footage For Wreckfest On Switch
Looking good. My kind of game to pass the time.
Re: Geoff Keighley Hypes Upcoming Showcase, Says There'll Be Fewer Third-Party Shows This Summer
@mariomaster96 really?
I didn't know that.
I'll probably get it as my daughter and I loved to play it together.

Re: Geoff Keighley Hypes Upcoming Showcase, Says There'll Be Fewer Third-Party Shows This Summer
I've been a bit disappointed with the last few Directs so I'm not expecting much of any thing from anyone 😂😭
Re: Poll: Which Dormant Capcom Franchise Would You Like To See Return?
Where is Captain Commando?
Re: Mario Party Superstars Updated To Version 1.1.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I'm still awaiting more boards in the previous game 😂
Haven't got the new one as I wanted to wait for the DLC that would be made available. Sounds like 5 boards isn't much either.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 12th)
@TYRANACLES yes, for the Switch!
I bought it when it was released but never had the time to play it properly.
Now, I'm giving it another go and it's been a good experience.
Highly recommended if you like this kind of games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 12th)
I'm finally playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance. It's been on my backlog far too long.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Dev Retro Studios Is Advertising Job Openings On ArtStation
By now, I'd say it won't be released on this current Nintendo Switch.
More likely to the next generation like MK9.
Re: Capcom Has Some Resident Evil News On The Way Tomorrow
Probably the rumored RE4 remake that won't be released on the Switch.
So no news here.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The February 2022 Nintendo Direct - Every Game Reveal And Trailer
Was really hoping to see Batman collection announced at the collections segment.
I'm still hoping to see it in the near future.
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 9th February 2022
Batman collection please!
Re: French Retailer Lists Batman: Arkham Collection For Switch
Finally. They really took their time.
It will be day one for me.
Perhaps it will be announced at the Direct that we normally have in or around March?
Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Seemingly Teased By NetherRealm Producer
@Sinton not Mortal Kombat Collection, you meant Mortal Kombat Kollection.
Re: Mario Kart 9 Is "In Active Development" And Comes With A "New Twist", Analyst Claims
@ModdedInkling they could do something similar to Split Second and players could change the layout of the track.
I think it would be a nice plus along with the classic item boxes.
Re: Editorial: Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays From Nintendo Life
Merry Christmas and here's hoping for a new year with a new Wave Race game 😂🌊
Re: Review: Mario Party Superstars - A Party Most Hearty
Will try to sell my copy of the other Mario Party and with the money will get this one second hand.
This time, I'll not buy it new. Won't be fooled twice.
Re: The Localised Mario Party Superstars Overview Trailer Is Very Enthusiastic
I'm awaiting an update on the other entry.
Will skip this one for now.
Re: Random: Smash Bros. Twitter Encourages Fans To Let Their Imaginations "Run Wild" Before The Final Fighter Reveal
As crazy as it can be, I'd love to see something really unexpected like:
A Marvel character (i.e Wolverine)
Master Chief
Doom guy
Waluigi
Etc
Just hope that it's not someone with a sword again.
Re: The Donkey Kong Series Has Surpassed 65 Million Sales Worldwide
TBH, I'd love to see a DK completely 3D.
If not mistaken, I think we had only the N64 entry that was 3D?
Re: Soapbox: Wave Race 64 Is Now 25 Years Old, And It Still Rules
It's a disgrace that it has been forgotten!
Re: Horizon Chase Turbo Honours F1's Ayrton Senna In New 'Senna Forever' Expansion
@The_Pixel_King that time was really the golden age of F1.
No BS of team managers calling drivers in the radio to let the partner take over, no computerised cars, etc.
Everything was so raw and challenging to everyone.
Nowadays is extremely boring. Don't even follow it anymore. It's just not fun.
Re: Horizon Chase Turbo Honours F1's Ayrton Senna In New 'Senna Forever' Expansion
Certainly one of (if not) the greatest Formula 1 drivers.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online N64 Game Ranked
No 1080 or Wave Race? You can't be serious!
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The September 2021 Nintendo Direct
A 1080 Snowboard release for winter should do the trick!
Wave Race for spring also would be good 😂🌊
Re: Nintendo 'Blockbuster' Sale Discounts Hundreds Of Switch Games (Europe)
As usual, the 33% rule on Nintendo games apply 😂
From that list available, either I have the game or I'm not interested...
I hope Doom Eternal will get a nice discount, that one has been far too long in my wish list.
