Yeah, World Tour was great. Its my most played 3DS game with over 210 hours logged. We even ran goon tournaments for months. The new Mario Sports Superstars has 4 more 9 hole courses in the same engine.

Honestly, not really. Non-zelda amiibo only give you a random shower of random cooking goods. Sure, if I had the patience, I could scan everything every day and have hundreds of Hyrule Herbs or whatever...but that's a lot of effort for not a whole lot of reward.

Okay maybe a month. But compared to the dozen great exclusives on PS4 and all the big EA sports game and the big online games, switch isnt selling me so far. I hope they get a few more time sink titles. I really want a switch to goof off with at work.

From the iconography i've seen bandied about it's NBA 2K18.

I finished last night, took almost a full month since launch and I played at least a couple of hours (but plenty of days with many more) all but like 1 or 2 days that whole stretch. Zelda is a good game.

I really hope this isn't just coming out now that people have finished their games and are leaving it on standby for a long period of time.

The strange thing is I had played Zelda just the night before, so it wasn't just sitting there in god knows how long. Maybe it was just the game running in general for a long time? I dunno but it sucks, luckily it's only happened this once.

I think it's 10 bucks cheaper but yeah, it would be nice if they could, at least, give discounts to people that bought it on Wii U digitally.

On WiiU it came with a free game too. Choice of Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, or Nintendo Party

I couldn't not. I own some version of BoI for the PC but I've put easily 3x as much hours into the 3DS and Switch versions at this point, it just doesn't feel right with the xbox controller.

The DLC was like $12 or $15 for the combo. So if you price out the battle stages as if they were another DLC pack, that's like ~$20 worth of extra content over what the Wii U version launched with.

Battle mode was in vanilla MK8, it was just god awful and would have been better if it was just cut entirely. It only worked kinda it you were playing on Yoshi Valley and everyone agreed to stay in the north west part of the map.
