Long time since I've been here. But hey we finally know about the Switch haha. Mine is on pre-order with the grey joy-con. I also pre-ordered Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which I am freaking excited for. Also I'm happy to see Super Mario Odyssey isn'y just a tech demo and is going to be the open world platformer I have been waiting, and dreaming, for. The "New Donk City" seems really awesome, especially the ability to wall jump off skyscrapers and jump off of them, and too, to climb up light poles and streetlights. Hats seem to fit the theme of the game as everyone, even bowser wears one, even the creepy sims-like people. Btw throwing his cap and jumping off of it, truly genius. His moves seem perfectly melted into this decade from SM64. The purple things seem to be parts for his hat shaped ship. I did however spot what look like purple coins aside from the bolts and nuts. I hope with all my heart power stars or red coins return. They seemed to show off the biggest areas of the game and I would hope we have smaller 'sandbox' style levels not too big, not too much, and not too little. As a Mario fan I am very particular about my levels. lol Carrying on over to Splatoon 2, being marked as Spla2n by some people. I can't wait for it, I seem more excited for this than I was for the original, but that's how I always seem. MK8 Deluxe offers alot of new fun, but more so alot of the old too. King Boo, Bowser Jr. Dry Bones, and the inklings are great additions. The Question Mark character people are talking about and suggest is not unlocked yet, I beleive is the return of a random pick option. Furthermore the 'smart-steering' option seems great cosnidering how many damn times I fly off the road in 200cc. While I'm Sad no new tracks will be added, the retro battle courses and the new ones seem fun. Luigi's Mansion seem breathtaking even for Mario Kart. The double item box returning is wonderful, it took me by surprise and made me so happy. I hope future DLC comes in the future and adds Diddy Kong, Birdo, Petey Piranha and maybe the parakoopa guy. What would be fun is if they brought back the ability to have two players on one kart, almost adding a double dash mode. Bob-omb blast is great to see returning. I wish Shine runners or shine battle would return, its odd the crown for the trophy of winning battle mode has a shine sprite on it. hmmmm on that note it is rather odd miyamoto stated Odyssey is going back to the roots of Super Mario Sunshine, is something bubbling up behind the scenes in time for E3? hehe -Me planning on a Sunshine HD actually happening. I do see Gamecube games coming on the switch on the VC. Animal Crossing has to be announced at E3, and E3 seems liek its going to be Jam-packed this year after last year's paltry show. Luigi's Mansion I pray is in the cards as either a remake or a full blown 3. It has to be and especially after seeing it in the MK8D graphics it seems wonderful. I wouldn't call the galaxy series off just yet, with the IR thing on the right Joy con, the joy cons can act liek the wiimote and nunchuk for SMG3 possibly. 4 games on launch day for the Switch seems sad, even if Zelda is the main event what about the people who arent into Zelda? 1,2 Switch seems fun but you need liek 6 people to play it seems liek and the other two make no sense. Moving onto the bad, the games so far seem greta but badly spaced apart. The controls well it seems liek things are gonna be tight especially with the joysticks also how on MK8D the frame rate drops with mulltiplayer seemingly even lower with 2 players it now is liek playing with 3 or 4 also to note the dock does improve performance. I hate the online services fee, but I guess they have to make money somehow, with that they shoudl just give it anywhere servie as if it were a cellphone so you can use the internet and go online in games no matter where you are. atleast you dotn have to pay to get in the e-shop. What is your take on the switch and the games and etc etc etc?
