Odyssey was trash.
Unpopular opinion but outside of the movement options and the graphics it was wack.

3d world was far better and it's a shame that it doesn't get that shine it deserves because ppl couldn't get over mario galaxy/the fact that it wasnt a sandbox game.

Remasters are only worth it if you never played it on previous gens or it’s game you really enjoy i.e. The Last of Us, Uncharted etc.

I bought DKC:TF, Bayonetta 1&2, New Super Mario Bros all because I hated all the controllers for the Wii U and found the games to be a drag to play. I actually wish Nintendo would just port their entire Wii/Wii U library over to Switch so I could go back and play/finish some of these highly critically acclaimed games

I don’t think Odyssey is as good as most people but it’s definitely not trash

SM64 still GOAT

 

[9th Wonder]

Odyssey probably my favorite switch game lol

Looking at how bland as **** NSMBU is, especially with the recent port re-release in the form of the DX edition, 3D World definitely should've gotten the nod to be ported to the Switch this past January over NSMBU. (Big hypocrite in myself, I did buy the NSMBU DX port lol)

It was really nice to see that some of 3D World's assets are going to be used in the upcoming Super Mario Maker 2 sequel this June, which is perfect for it honestly.

It’s funny folks tryna justify buying remastered games on the switch
But had no problem needing justification
To buy all them damn remasters on PS4 and xb1

The difference is price, Nintendo charges 59.99 for a remaster while on PS4/Xbox they 39.99 or at least go on sale often after release.

It’s weird but I don’t think I have a favorite Switch game yet. I’d say DKC:TF but it’s a port. I’m all in for Super Mario Maker 2 tho.

Don’t get mad
Cause Nintendo values their products
Haven’t tripped off paying the prices
And mind u I have to buy 2 copies
Cause there’s 2 switches in the house

Anyone else felt Odyssey was overrated? Just beat it, it was a good game but I wasn’t crazy about it. Thought it was an 8/10, and wasn’t as good as the ridiculous scores on metacritic.

One thing to give props to Nintendo for though is that it isn’t easy to make a game that can cater to both newbie kids and platformer veterans that have beaten each major release since the nes days. That said, although it was a solid game, I thought that even 3D World was better due to it’s stronger platforming challenges

It’s way too easy

I think the price of the cartridge plays into this as well.

U mean the cartridges that Nintendo themselves have a market monopoly on?

Of course. If I’m a third party developer and I have to purchase these cartridges from Nintendo and reprogram my game, I can understand selling it for full price compared to 39.99 on Blu Ray Discs.

Now what they do on eshop selling it for $60 is definitely a ripoff. More discounts need to come through for 3rd Party digital games (coughcoughBlazBluecoughcough)

This ...

I've been saying this for years. If I'm doing you a favor by saving on costs of material on a hard copy, offer me a discount. Even if it's $2 ... give me something here ...

 

[DadNboujee]

Yeah I’ve been buying hard copies off of eBay used for the low.

Just beat Celeste on switch last night. Did one of the B-sides as well and I think I’m gunna pull a Seinfeld in the movie theater gif for the rest and move on

Other than BoTW and Odyssey what were other games (non-Wii U ports) you guys recommend?

Hollow Knight.

 

[datboi81]

How do people feel about Mega Man 11? I really enjoyed the demo, I just have other priorities/games to finish before I cop.

Never been into Mega Man games like that but I had fun with the demo as well

General consensus from the community is that is a pretty good game

80 on MetaCritic for what it’s worth

Also forgot to mention Golf Story. Switch-exclusive RPG revolving around Golf.
