Super Mario RPG coming to Switch was NOT on my bingo card, but what an awesome surprise. The game that originally made me fall in love with the turn based RPG genre.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have never played it. Can't wait for the release.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Same here! Excited to finally try it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Same here! I'm 33 but Geno was a fan favourite on GameFAQs back in the day.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was not expecting Pikmin 1 and 2 HD ports, but I'll take them.

I'll wait for the physical release to have all 4 and show them to my grand kids 25 years from now, for the release of Pikmin 5.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Nintendo is really starting to push Pikmin again and I love it. Glad to have all the games on the switch. Capitalize on the popularity of the system to grow the franchise. Hopefully it's not another 25 years this time!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Haha, let's hope we don't have to wait that long, but you never know with Nintendo, if they think they don't have any new idea for the game, it is going to disappear in their locker for next 20 years.

10/10 direct for me because of the new 2D Mario.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I wasn't a huge fan of the NSMB series, and it always felt like they were just playing it safe. This one seems to have a similar look, but it appears they are trying some really original ideas with it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, it looks really fun. And not just new 2D Mario. Super Mario RPG Remake and Detective Pikachu, not to mention teaser for a new Princess Peach game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Fire Emblem 4 remake incoming!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope😭😭😭

Rats

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Probably one of the darkest entries in the series.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is that the GBA one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

No, it's the second one on SNES. Genealogy of Holy War.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (7 children)

I was just telling my girlfriend we need to play Pikmin before pikmin 4 comes out. We pre-ordered it when we got tears of the kingdom with the NSO voucher

Oh man, Star Ocean looks awesome

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Agree, never finished the PS2 version. Would have like to see the option to play either the original or the 2D remake.

Can't wait for the Arkham games to run like shit though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I remember reading somewhere long ago that the shield tv had the processing & gaming power of an Xbox 360. The shield tv shares the same chip as the Switch, And those games are X360 era. In practice though it doesn't seem to work very well.

New 2d Mario!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Here’s hoping for anything Starfox.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Sorry mate, better luck next time!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Super Mario RPG let's goooooo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Very excited for the Super Mario RPG remake. It genuinely looks fantastic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Hyped for RPG and Wonder. Not much else piqued my interest (Peach game didn’t show enough to judge). Kamek as a racer, tho…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I didn't watch, but the list of announced games seems pretty decent. Looking forward to a new 2D Mario game, though I hope it doesn't feel as weird/floaty as NSMB did.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Holiday season is feeling a little weak for nintendo, no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Date is 6/21/2023 not 6/23, that's two days from now. I think you can edit the title.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

They mean June (20)23, I assume, but I understand the confusion.

Super Mario RPG & Persona 5 Tactica on the same day oooo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, I didn't even notice.

Not going to play P5T on launch, as I still have to play Persona 5, but can't wait for Super Mario RPG.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What does everyone think of Palia?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looked a bit generic but may be fun w/ non-gamer partner

Little skeeved out by the free to play bit tho...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm not thrilled about that, probably gonna be filled with paid content. I like slower paced games like that though, and like the social aspect as long as it isn't neutered.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If you don't mind free to play games. It looks like it could be a fun time pass.

Sonic, Mario RPG and Batman have me excited. I'm somehow still a Sonic fan, so I'm in on Superstars. As a Genesis kid growing up, never got the chance to try SMRPG, but I've heard it's one of the many gems of the SNES I could never play back then, so I'll be excited to finally do so. And I loved playing Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, so it'll be fun to go back to them, and then with Arkham Knight, which I never picked up, on top of that, it's gonna be a great deal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Genesis Kids Unite!

Sonic Superstars looks great, personally I am not a fan of constant pixel art, so new art style looks great. And also excited for Mario RPG, and Pikmin games for the same reason. Finally a time to enjoy the games I missed.
