Yeah, it's great. It's even somewhat possible on PS4 and I believe Steam as well.

Apparently Mario Run is getting a big update on the 29th with a new mode, world and best of all playable Daisy.:eyepop:

Why... Daisy specifically lol

Kickass. I have recently got into this game since it's great to play during 15 minute breaks at work. Hopefully that extra mode is something similar to Rally mode in terms of playing with other people's runs.

It deserves more credit than it gets. It has really great complex physics for an endless runner and the level design is arguably better than most of the NSMB games. $5 is a great price for it.

Blaster Master Zero, Shovel Knight and Sonic Mania are musts unless you have them on something else. Fast Racing RMX is pretty good and cheap too if you want something like F-Zero.

Yeah Mario was supposed to hold a gun but the loving cen$or$ at Nintendo forced the developers to take it out at the last minute. That's why it looks like he's doing some weird thing with his hands.

Speaking of F-Zero, Mario Kart got me jonesing for another F-Zero game with the inclusion of Mute City and whatever that blue map is. Is there any likelihood or this happening? I mean fast RMX looks ok, but I'd really like a real F-Zero game.

Edit: I'd settle for VC of F-Zero X or GX. Make it happen Nintendo.:pray:

What Manky said. It's just a really great remake of a classic NES game that fixed all of its shortcomings. There's a demo on the eShop, if you're interested, and the game is only :10bux:.

None really. I think Miyamoto recently commented on that they have no idea for a new gimmick and that's why there hasn't been one. I wouldn't get your hopes up but I strangely feel like it'll eventually return on Switch.

Between vc and homebrew, the Wii U can play every Nintendo console back to the NES, with the exception of the Virtual Boy I guess.

You can't even copy save data on the switch, the way the Xbox handles drm will never ever happen on a Nintendo console.
The closest you will come I think is that Nintendo at least lets you have your account on more than one console at the same time now, but the account can only access its library on one console at a time. To use it on another, you have to disable library access on the first console and enable it on the second.

The best thing about Switch is that while Nintendo says ultrawide monitors aren't supported, nearly every game looks amazing on my LG ultrawide. Like, loving awesome. Playing Dig 2 in ultrawide and it owns

Wait, how does that work? Is the output from the Switch cropped, or are there bars on the side?

No for me it's not stretched at all. No black bars for me either. 2560x1080

What happens if you buy a digital copy of a game you already own on physical? Will the save data transfer?

As my BotW adventure has come to an end I started Metroid Prime. And people complain about Zelda feeling empty! Also jesus christ F-Zero GX is even faster and harder than I remember. Gimme that poo poo remastered with online play on the Switch Nintendo!

Yeah, the Wii U still has an incredible library. I think it's a necessary purchase if you have a significant Nintendo backlog because the Switch is amazing but inexplicably terrible in terms of backwards compatibility. This thread seems to have convinced itself that most big Wii U titles will come to the Switch at some point, but I'm willing to bet Smash Deluxe will be the last Wii U game you'll see.

That means saying goodbye to stuff like Mario 3D World, DK Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2 and many more titles including the entire Wii and Gamecube library. The Wii U might have been a disaster financially, but the thing is until mid 2016 it absolutely buried the PS4 in terms of the quality of exclusive games.

The same data for all switch games is stored on the internal memory / SD card and not on the cartridge, so yes you can switch between physical and digital.

Idk if I'd call it incredible so much as the few good games that will be stranded are very good. I don't think you should buy a console for its 3 or 4 'must-haves' unless you're a superfan

VC's pretty good if you include the Wii's library

What is "inexplicable" about it? Even if you ignore that the architecture is different from the last three consoles, how would Wii U games work outside of something insane like connecting two switches together, and how would Wii games work without a sensor bar?
