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 The game that originally made me fall in love with the turn based RPG genre.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago

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

[-] handhookcardoor@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago

Same here! Excited to finally try it!

[-] Omgarm@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

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

[-] mekkagodzilla@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago

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.

[-] klieg2323@lemmy.piperservers.net 4 points 3 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!

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 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.

My body is Reggie!

[-] Dougas@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago

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

[-] Zarxrax@lemmy.world 4 points 3 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.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago

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.

Come on Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD Remake physical release on Switch! Big Brother Nintendo, I know you can do it!

[-] Miimikko@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago

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

[-] SpaceAape@lemmy.world 1 points 3 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.

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

[-] AliasWyvernspur@lemmy.world 2 points 3 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…

[-] joekar1990@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

Excited for Mario RPG and Pikmin. Fae Farms looks similar game concept to Stardew Valley to me.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

SwitchUp Youtube channel did a review and it's very addicting, according to them.

New 2d Mario!!!

[-] MattyXarope@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

Super Mario RPG let's goooooo

[-] shon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

I haven't played any Pikmin game. Was thinking about starting 3 after TotK, but I wonder if I should start with the first one...

Going to see the trailer and reviews to see what condition the games are in, before making a decision.

[-] IcedRaginCajun@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

You can't go wrong with any of them, as they are all a bit unique in their own way.

  1. Overarching timer forcing you to work somewhat efficiently to complete the game. Puzzles and difficulty are definitely the easiest in the series, but still provide a fun challenge to newcomers and veterans alike
  2. No overarching timer allowing for a more laid back approach to completing. Introduces a 2nd captain and much more challenging/replayable end game content (a lot of people hold P2 in very high regards, and consider the end game content to be the most difficult in the series)
  3. Technically there is an overarching timer, but it's implemented in such a way that doesn't create as much stress or pressure like the timer from P1 does. Introduces multiple captains that add another layer of complexity to puzzles as well as optimizing your daily efficiency. Has a very helpful world map that shows the location of objectives, captains, and loose Pikmin. The Deluxe edition has a slew of additional content that I haven't even fully completed, but I believe they're "prequel" missions that help to explain some of the events that happen before the start of the game.

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

[-] Zed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Oh my God, I'm beyond HYPED for the Arkham Trilogy, I've always wanted to have them on the switch, it's going right to my wishlist !!

What does everyone think of Palia?

[-] mvu@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

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

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

[-] SpaceAape@lemmy.world 1 points 3 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.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

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

[-] abouttocomealive@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Been playing it for a couple of months now on pc. It's cozy and chill. There are lots of little quests. Skills to develop (eg gathering/fishing/mining/gardening etc). NPC's to interact with and run errands for.

The only "combat" element is hunting. No fighting. (Whether that's a pro/con is a personal preference ofcourse.)

You need other players for small stuff, like chopping magical trees. Which most players are quite chill about and can be arranged on the spot. No need to join an established guild or something.

For late game, (when you have maxed all NPC's) the progress is in building/furnishing/beautifying a house, and for the completionists: catching all bugs/fish, craft all furniture, finding all the little secret quests.

The only paid content are outfits & pets. Purely cosmetic. They stated that they will keep it that way, and so far so good. So if you wish to support the company, you can. If not, there is no need to.

[-] freebread@lemm.ee 1 points 3 years ago

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 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.

[-] phazed09@kbin.social 1 points 3 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.

[-] Grangle1@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

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.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 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.

[-] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Wow! This is a very well put together thread! Great work!

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Thanks. Appreciated. 😀

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Mythforce looks like a barrel of fun. I hope they don't shy away from an occasional goofy 'push this button next' sequence when it's time for the action to get even more ludicrous.

[-] Noctis@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Oh man, Star Ocean looks awesome

[-] TTownsend18@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

I’ve never seen the series but I love the art style. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

[-] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Super Mario Bros. Wonder looks like just the breath of fresh air the 2D Platformer Mario games desperately need. While I enjoyed the "New Super Mario Bros." games, there's no denying they've gotten very stale and if you've played one you've basically played them all. This looks entirely unique and different.
