Anyway, can't wait to play some Wonder today and wash the mediocre taste of Sonic out of my mouth.

I was just kidding obviously, I don't really feel like the voice acting adds anything though.

And I do dislike the fact the characters all play the same, I don't understand why.

Game seems good, 8.5 seems decent.

It's super-creative and if what I've played of the first world keeps up, it's a 10 easily.

I do wish the characters all played differently -what's the point in having all those characters and they're all the same- but it's good to see that you can get abilities to equip and switch between.

After all these years, they still can't top the original Mario game, Super Mario Bros 2.

I'll get Wonder when it goes on sale.

I have too much to play right now but will pick it up eventually. Probably soon.

Picked up Bayonetta 3 for 20 Euro the other day too.

I'd get Wonder, but I still haven't played NSMB Wii U and its expansion.
...despite owning it since the Wii U launch

3d Mario is day 1 for me, but I've kind of lost interest in 2d Mario. It's mechanically good, but it just all feels the same to me after all these years. Mario Maker 2 was enough 2d Mario for a lifetime for me.

I had a spare voucher so I picked up Wonder. I'll give it a try this weekend.

Nintex · « **Reply #13027 on:** October 20, 2023, 03:09:25 PM »

I couldn't wait and just bought it anyway. It just looked so fun in the DF review. Don't watch that you'll instantly buy it

This is why Wonder is good- it ditches a lot of the NSMB stuff and has a different feel.

Waiting for a B2G1 sale so I can get Pikmin 4, Wonder, and MarioRPG

I pulled out the Switch and it still had a running game of Metroid Prime on it. LOL Gotta dust this thing off

Wonder is pretty good. It’s the upgrade the NSMB franchise has needed since 2010.

Another 10/10 banger on the way

The point is my kid played level one with light blue yoshi then wanted to play play the same level with green yoshi

Wonder was really good, it felt like a successor to SMB3 in a myriad of ways. Highlight for me was the desert castle zone, there seemed to be hidden areas and stages all over the place in that area.

My only issues were the mediocre boss battles and that the challenge level was pretty low for most of the game - the only sections that really tripped me up were:

Special Stage 2 where you had to do some walljumps on small blocks that would disappear in time with the music, as well as the postgame badge marathon

I have played all the NSMB games and in my head they all blur together. Show me a level and I couldnt tell you which game its from.

Makes me want to wait on Wonder

demi · « **Reply #13035 on:** November 19, 2023, 02:44:55 PM »

Mario RPG is devoid of all the magic of the original, but it's a fine remake I guess.

They give you the Signal Ring (the item that makes a noise when theres a hidden chest) immediately during the tutorial so now I'm forever triggering my OCD right away, instead of after Valentina.

So far the new music isn't as good either.

HardcoreRetro · « **Reply #13036 on:** November 19, 2023, 03:57:22 PM »

At least you can change the music back to the old soundtrack. I wish it had one of those remake/original toggles like the Monkey Island, Halo and Diablo 2 remasters had. Or just include a rom of the SNES version as an unlockable.

watching the trailer I got the feeling this would be the case. the developers seemed to not understand the charm of the original and just redid the graphics

demi · « **Reply #13040 on:** November 20, 2023, 01:35:02 PM »

Also I did the 100 jumps and got the Super Suit for the first time. I did it on "Breezy" mode but I did some research and I'm not sure there's actual proof it affects the timing so I'm taking the dub anyway

Also Metroid Prime Remastered was $40 but this was full price, lol

team filler · « **Reply #13041 on:** November 20, 2023, 05:33:02 PM »

prime remake looked great, but it also seemed to lose some of the atmosphere of the original. I saw parts that used to be dark lightened up to show off the new graphics. maybe the darker parts were there to hide things in the original, but it did more than hide things.

demi · « **Reply #13042 on:** November 20, 2023, 05:43:01 PM »

Nah Prime Remastered is great, enjoyed it and it looks and runs great. I don't think it lost anything imo. Except the annoying Chozo Artifact hunt

Bebpo · « **Reply #13043 on:** November 20, 2023, 06:07:56 PM »

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Wonder if it's on sale since it's a bit older?

Need to grab that and Wonder and Mario RPG.

That rhythm stage is the only time I dropped below 90 lives. In part because I sacrificed three to her the purple coins before attempting to complete it.

I never played NSMB2 on 3DS, but it’s interesting how there are no flying power up. Badges can replicate some, like the gliding hat is the squirrel suit, the spin boost is the propeller hat.

The currently rumored Direct for February...

The supposed new games are:

Fire Emblem 4 remake releasing in May
Donkey Kong Country is getting a new game for its 30th anniversary
Metroid Prime 2 Remastered
Grezzo Remake of the Zelda Oracle Games
That Good Feel game is getting localized
Famicom Detective Club returns as Nintendo Detective Club. Five high school girls must solve vicious crimes that they are personally involved with.

If the Zelda stuff is true, I can finally dust this thing off.

Nintex · « **Reply #13048 on:** January 23, 2024, 03:05:15 PM »

If the FE4 remake and Grezzo Remake of the Oracle games release...

Holy fucking shit. Those have been cooking since Nintendo shelved the 3DS

All the rumored games released including Metroid Dread and Links Awakening and one was confirmed cancelled but leaked (Wario Land 3DS, which was a remaster of sorts of Wario Land Virtual Boy).

The DKC game makes sense as a tie in with the theme park, they've been working on various Donkey Kong games over the years including with Activision until Vicarous Vision was put on Destiny 2.
The latest rumor was that following that Nintendo decided to work on DK themselves and set-up a new team at EPD specifically for Donkey Kong. Much like how Mario and Zelda have dedicated teams.
From the movie appearance to the LEGO sets and theme park it appears Nintendo has big plans for Donkey Kong.

Also aligns with what I was told about Switch 2 maybe releasing in 2024 but more likely dropping early 2025.

Let's Cyber · « **Reply #13049 on:** January 25, 2024, 11:14:07 AM »

Games like Genealogy of the Holy War, that never made it out of Japan, are the EXACT kind of titles that should be getting ground up remakes.

That list sounds too good to be true but I guess we'll see.

Rumors of MS basically going multiplat...

I dont give a shit about their current lineup, but I would love to see the older games on the Nintendo online service.

Activision: THPS 1,2 3, + on N64 and GBA
Blizzard: Some classic SNES titles (Lost Vikings)
Rare: All the N64 and GBA games
MS: They had some random games like Age of Empires and Zoo Tycoon on DS

Theres like 5 people on earth who played THPS3 on N64 so that would be cool. It came out a few year after the release of any other N64 game

Svejk · « **Reply #13051 on:** February 08, 2024, 10:59:44 AM »

Rumors of the day!

The upcoming Direct will be moreso 3rd party focused..

And also they are stating that the Switch 2 WILL be revealed in March..

I would think, IF ANYTHING, it will be an announcement for an announcement thing... those are always great.

Interested in Pepper Grinder the most out of all those games shown- glad to see a demo will be up today.

I want to get Penny's Big Breakaway too but will get that on Steam.

I'm unironically hyped for Endless Ocean. Spent a ton of time with the Wii version.

Switch might end up one of the greatest consoles ever released. Imagine saying that in 2016 coming off the Wii U

... what a rebound.

Himu · « **Reply #13056 on:** February 21, 2024, 04:26:12 PM »

It's up there with PS2, Nintendo DS, PSX, and SNES for sure.

Wish I shared you all's enthusiasm. I really do. This has been the most boring and uninspired 1st party Nintendo generation for me, besides Link's Awakening, and maybe Mario Maker 2. LA was the only thing I tried that brought a smile to my face. I wish my kids would let me sell ours. (They rarely play it too). I feel like Mugatu taking crazy pills.

Speaking of, where's the best place to trade/sell Switch games? I know it's not gameslop.

Monkey paw.

A bunch of Microsoft and rare games and not one I give a shit about.

Monkey ball.

I do care about.

Anyone notice that graphically every single game shown could have run on the GameCube

Very much an easy game for kids like those yarn Kirby and Yoshi games but it’s charming. Peach does a sailor moon transformation with each new outfit.

Thought it was downright boring at times, but I think my kid would love it.
