The art style looks amazing for Mario RPG. Looks great and the more I watch the trailer, the more i'm pumped for it.

Definitely getting the Mario RPG remake.

That being said, their redesigns look off proportion-wise. They look like toddlers dressed as adults.

Re watching some of the announcements. One thing is clear, the Switch is really starting to show its age. Makes me believe those 2024 new hardware rumours.

DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS IS BACK! I remember playing that game when it came out (as Dragon Warrior Monsters and Dragon Warrior Monsters 2) as a darker spin on Pokemon. Dear holy fate, am I excited to play it.

Haven't been able to watch the direct yet. I was really hoping for the sequel to Odessey but didn't expect it. But, I am excited for two newish Mario Games this fall. Just had an outside hope for a new mainline 3D Mario since its been awhile for a new mainline Mario game, and the success of the movie made me think it was possible. My guess is the next mainline Mario is gonna be a launch title with whatever the successor to the Switch is. Which, while I'm hyped to see what they can do with more powerful hardware, I'm just envisioning the nightmare I'm gonna have trying to get one at launch lol (and the cash I'm gonna have to allocate to it lol).

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and pre-order SMRPG. Been begging for this game on the Switch and we're getting a remake? Nice.

SMRPG is a must buy for me.

I'm really curious about Wonder and I'm loving the style it is showing off. May more character and charm then the New SMB series.

I'm most likely getting that Star Ocean 2 remake as well.

I'm most likely skipping Pikmin 4. I wanted to get into Pikmin but I have never been able to successfully get into it

I'm loving the variety of tracks but the amount of City one's that come up is getting ridiculous.

Pikmin 4 is getting great reviews which is what I was hoping. Can't wait to get my copy in tomorrow.

I love how Nintendo is keeping the game alive, but let's be honest, this game isn't good and it stems from the gameplay. Having to drift around every corner to keep your speed takes a ton of fun away from it and the AI is omega cheap the higher the level you play. Blue shells galore, especially on the last lap at 200 cc. I appreciate the people who grind their way through this because it seems like the most unfun chore I've seen.

Someone hasn't played Wii.

It's far and away the best Mario Kart out there.

Double Dash is actually the best Mario Kart out there and then that’s followed by the OG one on the N64. This game is definitely playable, but the skill between 150 and 200 cc is just crazy. 150 is too easy and 200 is too hard. I played some of the Wii, but not enough to make an educated opinion, I would not be surprised if it suffers from cheap AI as this current one does.

Double Dash is my favourite but it definitely lacks in pure content. Wii has a lot of cheap AI not to mention items that are designed to annoy you. At least in 8 you can avoid the Blue Shell with good timing and the right item.

200cc requires some practice for sure, but Wii was definitely the game that put my balls in a vice.

Love OG, it's tops in the series from a pure racing perspective for me.
