“I actually think $80 for Mario kart is too little”

"...and when you take into account the scalpers, that's gonna be $2500 for the switch 2, and $500 for mario kart."

"not enough beanis"

and send!

I'm writing my opinion in to Nintendo Power. When that editor who's photo was a plushie of a slime from dragon quest sees it, he'll bring it right to Howard Phillips

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (5 children)

They must already know what people think about the price. Right? anakin-padme-2

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Also wasn't gonna buy one anyway but will pretend to have been excited as hell before the price thing. I'll add that they should make another F-Zero game and have Hideo Kojima write the story.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

F-Zero game and have Hideo Kojima write the story

It gets panned for being a mixed stealth action/racing management sim game.

Watch out snake, that's Paw Monkey!

More F-Zero and Wind Waker 2 pls

Also give us Mother 4

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Mother 4 is all the indie games that ripped off Mother. Itoi said so. I'm barely kidding. After 3 he said he wanted someone else to make one and a lot of people have.

I'd like to see itoi get one more go tho. He's gotta be up there age wise and it would be nice to see another peek into that brain. Also he was a judge on Iron Chef for a few episodes in the 90s, blew my mind.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

WHAT I need to see those episodes. I love Iron Chef

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think they're all on YouTube. Pretty sure it's season 1

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Can you send that idea to Kojima? Death Stranding 3 could be incredible

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Death Stranding with Captain Falcon would be hilarious ngl

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've thought about it some more and other than overthrowing capitalism globally this is probably the best idea on the entire site

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I was joking but the more I think of it thr more I'd fucking love to see it. There is basically no cannon aside from the bios of the weirdest cast of characters out there, what is known of the setting is right up his wheelhouse. Hell, he can direct it as long as someone else is there to keep his weird gameplay ideas down. I bet he'd design some sick tracks out of kinex or something for the game like how the first 3 mgs areas were conceptualized with Lego. Just gotta reign in the gimmicks, f zero racing has to be exactly as it's been since n64. Boost power thst drains health that you csn use after the first lap and nothing else aside from being good. Give him a co-dirextor for the gameplay and I think we have something amazing.

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I just need a rival named Booster Crashman who has a tragic back story who dies in a crash while boosting

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Captain falcon already has Blood Falcon and Black Shadow. The Fzero roster is already super Kojima pilled. Here's the f zero x manual description for each character

I read the first entry for Mighty Gazelle and have never been more convinced of something needing to happen

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

They're all amazing

James McCloud is a hired ranger, and the leader of Galaxy Dog. He remodeled his space fighter into an F-Zero machine. McCloud is in this grand prix for one reason – money.

Even looks like Kaz

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Long live Booster Crashman tho. Hideo will need some OC

Captain Falcon voiced by Keifer Sutherland: STOP BOOSTING!

Booster Crashman played by someone cheap cause they got Keifer: It's alright Falcon, that's why you're they captain and I'm the...." EXPLOSIOON! BOOOOM! BWAMMOOOOOO! '(echoing etherealy)'crashman-an-an-an'

Captain Sutherland: ....

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

during the stream the chat was 99% people chanting "LOWER THE PRICE"

[–] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Considering YouTube live streams about games are usually filled with incels complaining about woke, I hope video game studios have a standard policy of ignoring them.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm guessing they have a few people on staff who read the news

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I can't wait on the inevitable excuses they make because they're already promised their investors on the price and can't change it.

I love late stage capitalism

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I knew they'd eat shit on this one in like 2019. Nintendo goes full hubris mode any time they see success, iwata and fils Aimee not being the evil ceos in charge and more hedge fundy guys taking over. I got a switch in 2021 knowing this all full well but there were enough games to make me want one by then. Things have only gotten to be more of a ripoff as time went by as well cause they had a giant hit and Nintendo always hits the squeeze and the evil ceos who navigated that issue sorta okay aside from the wiiu in the past and but managed the 3ds price crisis okay and did course correct before too much wiiu trouble happened. Hard to course correct when the console is already something thst works conceptually and is an iterative upgrade. Unless they try a wiiu2 when this fails. Also 1st party Nintendo slop has become more and more of a ripoff. Mario vs Donkey Kong or the DK Country wii game remake are easy example. My retired parents got the $50 gba HD remake and have had a great time, I've already played the original and cake walked the game when I borrowed it. Wouldn't be worth a dime to me, add new levels, like double the count or more, which is easy, it's a simple gsme and I'd have been okay to shell out like $40 or so.

People were spamming it in the comments of their live stream the other day lol

[–] Future_Honkey@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

anakin-padme-3

Are they even interested in knowing what peeps think? Ill bet they aren't.

Email survey is the easiest to manipulate. I bet they publish the most positive ones, fudge the numbers, maybe toss in some very soft dissent for flavor and realism and voila!

An apparent net positive opinion poll, more advertisement of the new feature set, serving double-duty in reducing appearance of backlash and shamin' away the naysays! Nintendo always has had tight narrative control.

Howard Phillips

Now that's a name i haven't heard in a loooong time. You just recalled his (cartoon) face to my mind... I can see nester too lol. memberberries n shit. Wild

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Forget all this manufacturing shit, just release the switch 2 as an emulator and start a patreon. This is the logical move since you are apparently so threatened by independent emulators.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't get it can you please forward to beanis_lover55@beanmail.com

I got an email saying to double-check my account settings 2 hours ago. Guess my opinion doesn't matter.

[–] GeneralSwitch2Boycott@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Or actually might be a phishing scam. It's from nintendo-noreply@nintendo.net.

Edit: and the hyperlinks are all routed through click.ccg.nintendo.com/?buncha'numbers

[–] edge@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's legit. Nintendo owns nintendo.net, and when I clicked the link it took me to my account page already logged in, which wouldn't be the case for a phish.

Ah, OK. Thanks. Read somewhere that it should all be going through Nintendo.com but maybe they use .net for some other stuff for some reason.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

I got that too. Glad it wasn't just a me thing

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Make Bowser's ass bigger. I want to be able to see it from the front.
