@Franc001 thanks!

@Crecca which app is that?

We also need the ability to make more binders, display boards and decks. Cut off the actual caps.

All of them are solid 9-10s .... one of the few franchises in which every single game is a gem.

X is really special and there's nothing like it.
1 great story, voice acting, characters, world... everything is top notch (cant believe this game was Japan only for a time and the IP wouldn't have flourished without that fan movement to bring it to the West all those years ago)
Future Connected ... it was fun to revisit 1 and see all your favorite characters again.
2 great game, world and characters, but the story isn't the best one
Torna ... same as 2
3 amazing game, everything like 1 is top notch.
Future Redeemed .... such a great ending.

Great character reimagining .... we need a new game or at least a remake.

Isn't it a bit of a bias putting images of games on the cover? I mean, it makes people think about those games first.

Anyways ... Smash Bros for me.
Zelda this generation was a complete let down.

Uffff! Blocks that doesn’t blend with the background and epic Xenoblade music??
This might well be the best theme to date

That was amazing ….

Nahh it’s been well known for more than a decade that TPC isn’t exactly the best company to work with/for in the videogame market.

Finally… a good Zelda OST. I miss this kind of tracks in Zelda games.

@nhSnork gotta agree, even his solo albums are great and I love Promare so much (even got it on vinyl), Seven deadly sins and kill la kill too

Hiroyuki Sawano always with the amazing music. Yeah the very same one of Attack on Titan fame.

This looks great… it gave me the feelings and memories of walking into the arcades and watching intros like that before putting a quarter in. I’m interested

The only censorship related to Monolith that you guys should be screaming about is the one about not releasing Disaster: Day of Crisis in America. Such a great Wii gem that I’d love a remaster for that one.

I’ve been gaming since the NES days… but somehow this game left a really good and special mark in my gaming memories. It’s that special. Can’t wait to play it again and finally see the end to the story.

@KingMike that’s not how it works. Yeah it takes $5 to make, but you have to take into account all kinds of expenses, marketing, production, salaries, maintenance of the production hardware, transportation, etc that raises the cost. I mean, probably not up to $100… but you catch my drift and I get what you mean.

Powerful Warioware Game 2004 FTW

I mean… this is why they are separate apps instead of standalone games. The emulators were obvious that would move to the next generation. That was the main reason they handled it like that.

I never understood why Lords of Shadow was controversial. Having played all the games in the series they were absolutely the next step for the games and their lore, mechanics, design, story, gameplay, enemy design, Metroidvania progression and everything were top notch. It’s not a popular opinion but the first one was in the top 3 (aside from SotN and IV)

And I hope they continue down that 3D design road.

But first they should make another compilation with the 3D missing games (64, Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness … and as a bonus Adventure Rebirth)
Then just give us the LoS Trilogy. 🥺

@N00BiSH I played the Virtual Boy one just recently (hacked my 3DS to install the emulator in all its 3D glory) … it was quite good actually… not the best (maybe because I didn’t play it in its era) and the third one was a bit too much but such a great game. I think 2 stroke the balance with its simplicity. But let’s add another one to the conversation…. Shake Dimension could be the best one.

Gotta agree, Wario Land 2 is still the best one

Can’t wait the day in which an F-Zero GX sequel receives this kind of love

The X series is better … we need Megaman X9

@Not_Soos yeah that’s what I guessed that people didn’t get this context, and when I saw it was in a Spanish talking country I knew the reasoning behind the name. (The owner’s name is Mario and it’s his “super”… Super Mario=Mario’s Market/grocery store)
Also, to be fair, it’s not even the same font. It looks a bit like it, but has enough differences, and it’s not even using the same colors or identity to confuse anyone. I know that it is an unwinnable case.

@FullMetalWesker what you don’t get is that here in Spanish/latin talking countries we call supermarkets “SUPERS” … so “Super Mario” is the same as saying “Market Mario” or “Mario’s Grocery store”

If I know this I’m PRETTY SURE a lawyer that earns twice or triple what I do should know this.

Also, IP and copyright protection apply to the “category” you’re infringing … a market doesn’t sell or develops videogames, nor is it using any font, color, mascot or ANYTHING resembling the videogame character.

No wonder Nintendo lost, because even a mule could see they were doomed to lose, and if they even had a bit of hope of winning this case then they were looking into bullying them because they felt comfortable with their power.

The smart lawyer who came up with this idea should be fired…. expecting to win a no-case is either from an unethical lawyer, or an unprofessional one.

Come on Nintendo…. Really? Against a local family supermarket? 😒😒

They dont own the name Mario and this was just a disgusting bully move by them.

Can’t wait… if Nintendo doesn’t give us a new Advance Wars game I’ll settle with a clone just to show them there’s a market for the IP.

I disagree with Jim 100% … it’s not about the roster. It’s about the tracks. Imagine racing through a Metroid track for example. I don’t care about racing as Samus though.

And stop trying to make everything open world, it’s the most boring transition from genres ever

@Folkloner tried it but no, there’s no update available yet … maybe it’s my region

Edit: ahhh there it is, it went live, thanks.

Mhh weird… it’s still not available to me yet

Weird and lovely selection for this weekend. We all know Japan is best

@Not_Soos In a way I was thinking the same thing as you when I was writing that. So I can agree totally with you.
I guess it’s the better imaginary scenario than Microsoft just sitting on the IP for another 20 years. 😪

If you want to support it… why not give the development of a Banjo Kazooie game to Nintendo? Let them try.

Also, if Sea of Thieves is on Switch 2 … I’ll buy it on release. That game was so much fun and one of the best gaming experiences I had last year.

Ugh… the cursed touch of Tencent’s stain I guess. Worse than Microsoft’s.

One of the best games of its generation tbh. It’s open world made right.

@EarthboundBenjy ouch… if you change your comment to Zelda … it is exactly the same.

Donkey Country sounds like a certain nation right now 😛

Resident Evil 2&3 Classic when? Ohh and Code Veronica Classic too

@N00BiSH mhhh 4 main games and 1 racing spinoff plus cameos all over the place... I'd say it counts as a franchise after a third game

I mean, Diddy Kong Racing was a Mario Kart rival. And we can’t have this conversation when there’s 40 Mario games out there and only 4 Banjo Kazooie games….. but quality wise… yes, the bear and the bird can rival Mario.

Different kind of games anyway

@tobsesta99 nahh F-Zero 99 is just a fun battle Royale curiosity… just like Mario 35 isn’t a real Mario game.

Also, F-Zero GX/X is where the IP shines most … not the outdated SNES F-Zero

Until they make a sequel to F-Zero GX … Captain Falcon will remain upside down floating down the Nintendo river

I like it… but I despise it because it’s just another nail in the coffin for F-Zero … a coffin that it’s already under 6 layers of cement 30 meters beneath Nintendo HQ guarded by the same ninjas who torment poor old StarFox in the Nintendo torture chambers.

Ugh.... just reading "open-world" made me feel nauseous.
Stop trying to convert everything to open-world.... its a genre killer.

@sanderev ok, then here goes my example. Xenoblade Chronicles (choose whichever entry you want), it’s just as big, it’s just as long, and its music never grows old… and has way more variety, it’s more interesting than ambient music. For me there’s no real excuse tbh. Just because BOTW has 200 tracks of chirping birds and crickets doesn’t mean that it has a more varied soundtrack. 190 of those tracks are mostly the same piano and wind chime samples. And the biomes, beasts and town songs are quite weak, not one of those is iconic but that’s my opinion.

@sanderev but as I said, the solution should have been have more variety, and instead of expanding the same “song” over a huge area, there could have been different songs over smaller areas. Hell, I’m listening to the Mario Odissey OST right now and there’s like 20 different songs in EACH world. All with different genres, instruments etc. We just needed more variety. As you said, in WW each island had some kind of different music. If you felt the ocean theme tiresome towards the end, imagine hearing dull ambient sounds for 200 hours. The OST was lazy and uninspired IMO. It will never become a classic in the grand scheme of Zelda OSTs

@sanderev @yosher and yet, somehow, Wind Waker, being the closest thing to an open world Zelda at the time, pulled it off by still having memorable music and a great soundtrack overall. For me there’s no excuse for not having decent tunes while exploring BOTW, but I get the decision behind it. If WW did it, so could BOTW and TOTK. The solution should have been to just have more music variety between areas, different genres and instruments. Most of them all sound quite the same because it’s just boring ambient music.

@Yosher I agree, but for a series that stood out for its music, BOTW is the black sheep of them all. The only notable piece was its trailer song… and wasnt even in the game to begin with LOL

@N8tiveT3ch BOTW had music? Lol

Wind Waker: What a great Zelda game and awesome OST

And I will buy none of the 11 Assassin’s Creed they have planned

@jon128 the NES set is exactly like that. It has a all the machinery and movable pieces that are such a delight to build just to see how creative the Lego engineers got to make it all work. Now imagine then putting the Mario figurine on top of the TV, which has a scannable sticker and it will play the Mario Bros music while scanning each coin, enemy and block on the scrollable brick screen to play the sound effects every time Mario passes through them. The first level scrolling through the TV is a delight.
Then add the console that also has a mechanism in which you insert the cartridge and it “sticks” to the bottom just like the real thing. Aside from a 1-2 level in miniature hidden on a secret compartment on the side.

Here’s how it looks: https://youtu.be/pfgFWiu3Z7U?si=3z1Vfy2_xg7bXhOS

I don’t know where did @ninchocolate got his idea from that it’s just a couple of soulless squares.

I expect the same level of creative engineering behind the Gameboy set.
The Mario Question Block, Mario & Yoshi, Pac-Man Arcade and NES set are some of the best Lego adult sets out there by their mechanics, design, engineering and interactivity alone.
