What about Devil's Third, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Fatal Frame 5? (Also bring over Star Fox Zero with normal controls, because why not.)

Fire n Ice fucking rules... good choice, especially since it's never seen a re-release and is pretty expensive to track down legally.

-Online play is friends-only and has slowdown issues. Can affect gameplay on some stages.
-Bowser's Fury is 3-4 hours if you do the "bare minimum" and 6-8 hours if you go for everything.
-There are times when you have to wait for Bowser to pop up unless you have an Amiibo to summon him.
-Re-confirms that Bowser's Fury stutters a bit and doesn't play as well in handheld mode at 30fps.
-Bowser's Fury feels "repetitive" for a Mario and they think it's a test for the next Mario game. They still enjoyed it despite the drawbacks.

I have it on Wii U, but there is no way I'm taking out that piece of crap. Especially not after the last exclusive is coming to Switch in a couple days.

I still want the Zelda HDmakes.

Maybe with a little less bloom in Wind Waker and a black and white mode for TP's Twilight Realm (LIKE THEY ORIGINALLY ADVERTISED).

I mean, if someone played a fuck ton of 3D World on Wii-Failure, and they mainly wanna play Bowser's Fury, this package sucks. It sucks for those five people.

Playing 3D World And Boswer's Fury now. It downloaded a small update before starting- wonder if that improved on anything from the review codes?

Did a level in 3D World and then switched to Bowser's Fury. 3D World is rock-solid at 60fps and then Bowser's Fury has stuttering right in the first cut scene, lol. Looks really nice though. It has "levels" but it's all seamless and they just start when you walk into the area. You can tell the game to have Bowser Jr. not help, help a little, or help a lot. Sticking with the "a little" setting for now. You can use gyro functions to aim a reticle and press R to have Bowser Jr. go fly over to whatever and interact anyway.

Love the Pro Controller... 40 hour battery life even with sublime HD rumble is great. Never had any drift issues unlike the Joy-Cons tho.

You can still use your Wavebird with the GC adapter if you like.

Just finished Bowser's Fury with 50 cat shines obtained. When you go back to the game, more stuff opens up and there's 100 shines total you can get.

Unless I missed something, there's no stats, so not sure how much time I played today, but am guessing it was around six hours total? If you want everything, I'm thinking it's going to be around 10-12 hours total. Could be less because you can start warping around once you clear the game once.

Having a Bowser amiibo (I have cheapo bootleg amiibo card) also helps a lot. It will summon Bowser and you'll need him since his presence means blocks pop up that normally aren't there and/or he can destroy certain blocks for you. Otherwise you have to wait for him. I think that was kind of dumb and there should be a way to summon him in-game without the amiibo.

You might not be needing any amiibo for Bowser, Tasty. Didn’t seem to take long between Bowser intervals for me.

Good, because I would have held that as a major point against the game and Nintendo indefinitely.

It's not a huge amount of time to wait, but it can be annoying if you need to go to one area and you have to wait. One thing that helps is that once you get close to 50 stars,

Bowser does the opposite and won't stay away, so inbetween dodging fireballs you can go get him to break whatever you need.

You knock the characters off the screen. The higher the percentage, the higher the likelihood you launch someone off the screen.

Some matches the percentage goes down the more you hit someone, others it goes up.

This is so subjectively weird.

If the numbers are going down, then you're playing a different mode with HP. Smash has a lot of different modes and options.

Hah. I've been playing the single player mode to help my kid unlock all the characters. The game does not do a very good job of explaining that. I just normally pummel the computer and try to hit them really hard.

I got 100% on 3D World. I like the game quite a bit and I still think it has the best soundtrack of a mainline Mario game. Bowser’s Fury was pretty decent too. If it was a test for a new Mario game formula, I look forward to them fleshing out the concept further.

Pretty sure Nintendo tied their own hands with a Switch Pro announcement and we're confirmed not to get any news until after the fiscal year ends in April.

Which is perfect timing for a E3 announcement.
