Interesting! Mario Metroidvania? I'll call it Mariovania.

While intriguing, I think for me that would take away from the Mario experience. Would make it more like Metroid. Though the idea is very interesting, and not bad at all. I wonder if there have been fan made Mariovania games.

@nonamesleft maybe I'm thinking about a mario themed metroidvania because I see all these other genres of mario games that I don't prefer, fighting, sports, rpg, party games. If settle for a mario fps though hahaha.

I will forever hold Vice City in high regards. It was so amazing for the time...easily my favorite GTA game. For some reason, I could never get into GTA V. I tried to go back to Vice City a few years ago. I think I quit about 5-10 minutes in. It's like Goldeneye...sometimes it's better to leave these games in the past where we remember them for being so much more amazing than they actually were.

Yah, Goldeneye was like a chore when I went back to it a while ago. I can at least still play a mission or two of Vice City before the sinking feeling starts to creep in haha. I'm with you though, I'll always hold Vice City up there. For the time, it's a classic and it's still dumb fun even if it's not as engaging as it once was. I do think V is my all-time favorite GTA, but Vice City takes the #2 spot and is easily my nostalgic favorite above all others.

With the GTA trilogy and RDR on the Switch with RDR2 possibly on the way, I'm surprised Rockstar hasn't ported GTA V over yet. They've rereleased that game so many times, I find it baffling that they'd pass up another opportunity to -- even if it'd probably perform significantly worse.

Ha. I wonder what the weapons would be. I think Nintendo has that genre covered with Splatoon though.

Mario & Rabids opened the door to Mario to weapons. I would think that they would probably go with a 3rd person shooter, like Plants vs Zombies. Who knows, maybe Ubisoft has already pitched it.

Definitely in the minority, but Goldeneye on N64 Online might be my favorite shooter on Switch after changing the controller scheme to modern controls.

I admittedly haven’t played much on Switch past just trying it out for a second. I played it on a friend’s N64 a while back and it was rough.

I’d like to give the modern control scheme for sure, forgot that was even a thing.

It's not 100% modern style, but it's close. You have to change an option in game and also remap some buttons in the Switch menu. Good thing is you can save button mapping configs in the Switch menu.

I'm not pretending it holds up to modern shooters, but it has always been my favorite fps since I first bought it. The gameplay has a slower pace than modern shooters which I enjoy. It feels like every shot counts. The 4 player MP was my high school, and the single player with 4 difficulties and cheat unlocks lead to 100's of hours of gameplay.

Had so much fun goldeneye multiplayer so many years ago with my friend. I forgot the level we always played, warehouse tunnel or something like that? Would definitely play if I had switch online, but I just don't need more gaming options to take time away from all of my single player games.

I was shocked at how bad the Switch Online classic games multiplayer worked for me. I tried playing game boy tetris with a friend online and it was so unbelievably laggy that it was near unplayable.

So then I tried local wireless with my wife and it was only marginally better. Still tons of lag.

If they can't even get a simple 2 player game game like Tetris to run well I don't have high hopes for more complex games like Goldeneye.

Nintendo may be the king of couch multiplayer but their wireless/online is useless

Disgaea 7 release snuck up on me, from what i've heard they listened and fixed all the issues Disagaea 6 had, and made sure it runs good on the switch as well as undoing a lot of the popular changes.

There is a demo I need to try tonight, but i pre-ordered it as I really enjoy them.

Nintendo is ending online service on 3DS and Wii U in April 2024.
I might go and revisit Animal Crossing on 3DS until then. A lot of my overseas gaming friends went back to it because of the Switch version of ACNH feeling so boring in comparison and lacking features.

As for Wii U, I just played another run through 100 Mario Challenge in Super Mario Maker around 3 days ago. That game might as well be used as a coaster after April but until then I'll continue playing the heck out of it..

Only two more weeks until Super Mario Wonder!

Just wish my favorite character, Yoshi, wasn't the easy mode character. Guess I'll do the same as everyone else and play as Daisy then!

I still can't decide if I want Super Mario Bros. Wonder digital or physical yet.

Day one physical for me. Pumped for it.

I have all the upcoming Mario games (+Peach) pre-ordered already. Very ready to get shroomed up.

Gonna suck it up and hold off on buying any new Switch game until that Switch 2 comes out. It’s gonna be rough but I think I can do it. Got a lot already in my Switch backlog to keep me occupied for many months.

That's what I've been trying to do as well. I've skipped Zelda, Pikmin and whatever else they've released this year without a second thought, but I gotta make an exception for mah boi Mario.

If there's a must have preorder bonus, then physical. If not, maybe still physical 😏

It's been awhile since I played a Mario game. Had a great time playing Mario 3D World 2-player. Could go for another multiplayer Mario experience.

"Must have" "trading" cards/stickers yo!!! Said nobody ever but that's what Nintendo thinks we want. According to Walmart's preorder system.

I miss when pre-order bonuses were cool.

I have enough of a backlog where I wasn't going to order right away but walmart had a little pack of mario cards and that will slightly increase the value of something that will always sit on my shelf, and that matters (/sarcasm?). Anyway I'm looking forward to it and it won't take too long to beat.

Say one digital purchase. I just can't do switch physical honestly those tiny carts and with travel... like I can't be switching those tiny carts all the time especially on planes etc

I don't do day one for digital ever unless the game has no physical release. Most cases carry like 10-20 carts and it's pretty trivial to swap them out. I love that I can carry around a postage stamp that I'm able to resell/trade.

I paid $40 for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and man I wish I had it physical to try to get some money back. If that had been a $60 or $70 game I'd be fuming and it would just be a huge wasted money. At $40 I even feel bad.

Digital is cool because the first party games are $40 tax included (vouchers, can get eShop for 20% off very often) so it just makes more sense I think, but definitely personal preference

I don't change my switch carts very often. And all of the carrying cases I have, have a dozen or so slots for games. It's been that way since the PSP and DS. I will continue to do that for as long as Nintendo sticks with physical releases.

Nintendo listening to their younger employees.

Interesting article in the sense that it makes it seem like it’s not a normal thing that they likely haven’t always done lol
