Think so. Pretty sure I had it on the Wii. It was decent enough but not something I’m desperate to play again. 

It's not something I'm drawn to, not sure I've ever played one but it's going to be hard to justify an impulse purchase now that Nintendo have stopped the sale of first party downloads outside of the estore. Maybe better to buy physical anyway for resale value. 

 

If you are looking for switch titles, I recommend looking for videos on YouTube by switchcorner and switch up. I have definitely found some hidden gems from the estore on there.

They've released fuck all this year for the Switch aside from Animal Crossing and Paper Mario, both of which I'm not particularly into.

 

Rumors that there'll be a Nintendo Direct next week. For a while there's been a ton of talk about the 35th Anniversary of Mario, and this is what they're said to be releasing this year:

• Super Mario 3D World Deluxe
• Mario 64 Remastered/Remaked
• Mario Sunshine Remastered/Remaked
• Mario Galaxy Remastered/Remaked
• Mario Galaxy 2 Remastered/Remaked (this one, for some reason, is said to be not likely)

In addition to that I think they'll be releasing another trailer for BOTW 2, a Pikmin Port and maybe providing more information of Metroid Prime.

 

Either way they need to fucking do something. Sony and XBox are releasing full on next-gen consoles this winter and Nintendo need to announce something that brings in holiday sales...as of right now there is literally no releases planned for the rest of the year.

Rumours of a new F-Zero release on Switch based on an apparent email address being discovered(!) so if that floats your boat...and also switch is the best selling console for the 19th month running.

Saw that...the original was a hell of a game.Yeah the pandemic really helped Nintendo capture some of the ''casual gamers with fuck all else to do'' market but their lack of grandstand titles is alarming. Mario Kart, Zelda BOTW, Smash Brothers are all essentially games that came out for the Wii U.

I barely touch my switch now. Last game I played was the Ace Wright lawyer game. Still haven't finished zelda.

[Pidge]

Zelda BOTW would grace any console. One of the best games I've ever played.

Bought my girls that Animal Crossing game yesterday. They haven’t put it down since but it looks shite. Are adults actually playing this game? What the fuck?

I was addicted to it on 3DS but although I have it on switch I have not loaded it. It is like crack cocaine, you know you shouldn't use it but the moment you get into it you are fucked. 

 

The fishing in the game is crazily addictive.

Holy fucking shit, they just did a Nintendo Direct mini and announced a remaster of one of my all time favourite rpg's, SMT Nocturne. Also that SMT V is out next year too (SMT fans have been waiting several years for some more news on that game.) I think next year it's time for a Switch!

It looks like they are coming as remastered on ps4 so presumably ps5 too.

I didn't even think of that so thanks for mentioning. It'll be good to have the Nocturne remaster on the PS4 but SMT V is exclusive to Switch so I'll still have to try and get one.

Switch is ace, so much good content and portable too.

Yeah I can remember seeing some games a while back for it, after having a quick look Astral Chain would be the first I'd get apart from SMT V. The recent Ultimate Alliance game looked good too so I'd probably get that as well, and maybe Bayonetta 1 and 2. SMT V is something that could clock up 200+ hours though if it's good enough so that'd be the main use for it for a good while I think!

That Mario Kart looks great.....but I don’t get it.

 

What if you don’t want a remote control car going round your carpet?

Mario 3D All Stars pre-ordered for Friday. Boom. 

[Scott_M]

Picked up Mario Allstars 3D. 
 

Going to play them through in order. 
 

Initially, I was disappointed with Mario 64. They’ve done nothing to it, it’s just a straight port. Which is fine, but it really highlights how the cameras behave far better now than in 1996. I’m more used to now and despite that flaw, it’s still brilliant. 
 

Race through these in time for Zelda in November at the latest. 

[johnsusername]

Where the fuck are the new games, Nintendo? 

[Scott_M]

 

Looks brilliant.

KidD has been hinting for one of these. She's just 6 and really active. I'm not sure if I want her to have a console yet, although lots of her friends do and I don't want her to be the kid without. 

 

Anyone else's kids have one?

Bought one for mine a couple of Christmases ago. They’re 12 & 7 now and they only tend to play it in bursts. They go weeks without playing on it at all these days and then it’ll be popular again for a little while. Plenty of the games are great for active kids and a long way from sitting on their arses. 1-2-Switch, Mario Party, Mario Tennis Aces, Mario & Sonic Olympics and Just Dance have all been played loads here. They’ve also got other games like Animal Crossing, Crash Bandicoot, Mario Kart and Super Mario U which are a lot of fun but more suited to ‘sit and play’ and good for long car journeys and the likes. There’s a Trivial Pursuit gameshow style thing on the Nintendo Store which is wholesome family fun and I’ve put Worms on there for my own nostalgic reasons. If you’re short of ideas for what to get your girl for Xmas I’d say go for it. 

[Scott_M]

Got a Lite for my daughter for Xmas, she’ll be 5 and a half. 

 

Got her Animal Crossing & Paw Patrol (thanks John!), Aladdin & Lion King. I have Mario Kart, Part, Olympics & the SNES games she can play.

 

Could anybody recommend any of the cheaper downloadable games for her please?

Finished ‘64. It’s obviously quite dated but still a great game. If it’d been tarted up, it’d have been hailed as all time classic again.

 

Sunshine is good but not great. It’s ridiculously difficult to the point where it’s not fun. It still looks very good but certainly could have been refined. I don’t think I can be bothered finishing it.

 

Galaxy is brilliant. Easily the best of the bunch. Still could have done with a bit of a camera upgrade but it’s the most original and fun game of the package. A virtually flawless game. A good 3/4’s of the way through.
