Nintendo Switch #3: More than 1 year later

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Mario Maker is one of the only reasons I wish I held onto my Wii U longer. June will be here before we know it though

I expect to see a landfill full of Wii Us around that time...

 

[Pilky01]

Im glad I have a younger brother to pass stuff on to, and who enjoys keeping old consoles. I gave him my Wii U to store mostly for the virtual console games.

That and a lot of people trying to sell it on eBay or trades to GameStop and other locations.
It's the only game I know of that is making some people hang onto their system, or was.

I'm hanging on to mine because it has Earthbound and Mario Galaxy 2 downloaded to it. Both of which I still need to play.

... Wait. I can't recall if my Galaxy 2 is on my Wii or WiiU...

I wish I gave Galaxy more of a chance than what I did when I first played it.
I believe I had Earthbound as well from redeeming points, but I never really got far into it at all.

Woot! Got my first #1 finish in Tetris 99!

Oh yeah, I only have Breath of the Wild on the WiiU.

Earthbound is the greatest RPG of all time... or at least my favorite game.

 

[waffledave]

Earthbound is also my favorite game of all time. I was absolutely obsessed with it when I was younger. I played and replayed it over and over again.

I remember I struggled so much with Peaceful Rest Valley. I was stuck there for months, kept getting killed by trees and UFOs. Then on the night of my mom's 40th birthday (which was also NYE) I finally got past it to Happy Happy village. It was one of the best moments I've ever experienced in video games... It was 1995 and I was 10 years old.

 

[Em etah Eh]

Any idea on which, if any, of these will have their own bundle, with unique controllers/dock? My daughter has a switch and we have fun playing mario kart and super mario bros together but I was thinking about getting a switch of my own. May just wait until a unique bundle comes out, but don't see anything announced for 2019 yet... Thought maybe Yoshi would get one of its own but I guess not...

I would consider Mario Maker, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing and Pokemon pretty likely to get bundles. I would say Luigi's Mansion and Zelda are less likely but still very possible (and I would buy both unless they're terrible) .

No way these all get special edition releases, but I guarantee at lest one or two of em do.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I saw that Mario x Rabbids was on sale again so I finally bought it.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

Snagged Mario Kart 8 Deluxe from Amazon since it's Mario week for $39.99 (Digital Only)
Thought about maybe getting Aces again, but we'll see.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Star Tropics on my Switch?

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

 

[Papa Francouz]

Well, Overland and The Red Lantern are definitely gonna make me cry. Damn.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I think this was already rumoured but hell yes.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Cadence of Hyrule. Yes.

 

[Pilky01]

I know Cuphead will be too hard for me but I am excited to play it nonetheless. That artwork is incredible.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Blaster Master Zero 2 coming today had me about as hyped as Cuphead.

 

[Pilky01]

 

[Danko]

Im so addicted to Tetris 99. Help.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Holy crap I hadn't seen that picture in a long, long time

The dude in the background always cracks me up
