Great track design not bogged down to straight lines by an open world? It’s already sounding better than Mario Kart World… (not that it was difficult to begin with) … and I can bet this will be cheaper as there’s no open world tax.
Now add the City Trial mode, the unique gameplay, the ability-based racing experience, the colors, the music, the stadiums, … and to be honest… the content. It’s not a Sakurai game if it’s not brimming with content around the main game. And maybe a story mode???
I wish F-Zero got this love.
I’d rather have a racer that caters to my abilities than item luck based.
A true ablity-based racer.... amazing visuals, no open world crap increasing the cost and affecting the tracks, great track design, the City Trial mode ... I'm in.
I wish F-Zero recieved this kind of love.
I'll never forgive how terrible Mario kart World is compared to this...
@MatthewTaranto I mean... I never said it was a bad thing ... I'm genunienly interested in UFO 50 .... just found it curious that I felt like I had played something similar before
Dont get me wrong... because I'm interested in the game and eventually buy it.
But isn't this a copy of that DS game where there was a developer who wanted a kid to playtest all his games and its a collection of around 30 or so retro games?
Can't remember the name but the games kept evolving from eras ...70's, 80's, 90's, 00's
Edit: I remember the name now: Retro Game Challenge
Come on ... this is blatantly copying and stealing from the Playdate... who could defend this? Nintendo can sue everyone else... but they can steal and get away with it?
They should sell a sensor bar for peanuts... and should have included infrared tech in the S2 joycons... I mean, come on, the technology for that must be just $2 dollars at most at this point.
@WhiteUmbrella yeah and the PS2 released with a DVD at a time where it was one of the cheapest options to get one. Many people bought one just as a DVD player. So ….
Been playing it for 3-4 days and the puzzles are too easy. I thought they would be getting harder as you level up… but if this keeps up I will delete it within a week
@DaGoldenBoo you mean the Mario LEGOs that are aimed as KIDS sets?
Again, Lego Adult sets are for displaying and usually have some kind of interactivity and easter eggs.
If I wanted to play a Gameboy I would either play my switch or my OG Gameboy.
This is not the thing for that.
For it to work with the buttons and everything it would need wiring, and that’s not the selling point for why people buy Legos in the first place.
“It’s a buildable rectangle” yeah, that’s a Gameboy for you. What would make it more interesting for you? A circle?
That’s like saying the Deku Tree set is just a “buildable tree”.
Or the coin block just a “buildable yellow cube”
@DaGoldenBoo it’s great that this is branded as a Lego Set for Adults no? And it’s not like these adult sets are more profitable for Lego than the kid sets. Oh wait… they are.
I already have a MOC Lego Gameboy that looks exactly like it but I guess I’ll have to sell that one so I can get this with the display and the gamepaks.
@The_Nintend_Pedant tbh there are really good collectathons... but the ones that are contained and know how creativity can flourish on diverse levels and environments without making everything feel like a chore.
Mario 64, Sunshine, Banjo Kazooie & Tooie are pretty good examples that are FUN and don't need 900 stars or main trinkets within 200 hours. And even if they had small amounts, each one was unique. Unlike rising the collectible count and start repeating things like "bring the ball to the hole" in shrines or "bring the korok" for the 900th time in BotW and TotK.
@Crimson_Ridley I agree with that. I'd rather have a short FUN game rather than a 150 hour journey that feels like a slog that just adds hours artificially to justify its price... ala TotK
Why the hell was my comment removed as unconstructive? I'm cheering for her debut.
Nahh... I'm posting it again! Let me know when you find a reason to flag it. Yeesh
"Congrats for her. Her spotify has 37 monthly listeners so I guess that's gonna explode now. Enjoy the game everyone."
And this is cheaper than Mario Kart World. Further proof than Nintendo is just getting greedy with their arbitrary prices…. Trying to squeeze their biggest IPs just because.
@StewdaMegaManNerd ahhh you made me remember that one time when Nintendo tried to sue a local MART in Costa Rica that was called "Super Mario" because the owner was actually named Mario.
Freaking disgusting... glad the grocery store won. It's one of the few cases people have won against Nintendo in a copyright lawsuit.
@Shwing lol no… they are ALL Switch 1 in different versions/models
What, you’re telling me the Gameboy OG, Gameboy Lite, and Gameboy Pocket are not Gameboy 1s?
But let’s use another numbered example… aren’t the PlayStation and PsOne not … well PS1s?
Or aren’t the PS3 Phat, PS3 Slim and the PS3 Super Slim not… PS3s??
Or are the PS4 OG, PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro not… PS4s???
Imagine admitting to sitting 2 years on an unfinished game because you thought it was “finished” … and releasing an open world game without the most basic features like pins or map markers for progress tracking.
And with no reason at all to sell it at a higher cost than the average videogame. THAT baffles me just like it did with TotK.
@LikelySatan I'm one of those. It was a great game with great dungeon designs. But I think its what gave way to BotW and TotK becoming a thing. This "lets reuse a remixed map" and go wherever you want, that destroyed the structure of progression of accessing new areas with new items that you worked to obtain, the Metroidvania / Zeldavania formula that we all grew up to love. I hate being given everything from the start. There's no discovery or surprise.
Great game though and I loved it too .... it was just... the start of a downfall for me. Didn't like where it took the series after.
This Zelda was a great step to get Zelda back in the right direction again…. But still missed a few beats. Way better than BotW and TotK from a game structure design POV
@Benri4761 I agree... and I bet the negative marketing and reception was waaaaaaay more expensive to them in damage control than what would have been another nice incentive to buy the console in the first place.
People won't be buying this demo either way after the honeymoon phase of the Switch 2 is over.
@Zyph naah... no disrespect ... but that reads as moving the goalpost.
Its a DEMOstration of the new capabilities and features of a new console. Nobody wants to pay for a demo.
The 0s are a form of discontent protest at the direction Nintendo took with the game, not the real score. I would give it a 0 too, even though its a 7 for me.... if it makes sense.
It's not a disastrous game by all means, but its not the direction I want for the franchise, not now, nor for the future.... so a 0 it is

Re: The First Review For Donkey Kong Bananza Is In
Famitsu’s scores have been over inflated for almost 2 decades…. So 38/40 means nothing.
Having said that… I still have confidence this can be a good game…. And better taste than the bitter one that Mario Kart left.
