Tell that to people who play on TV, having to flip flop back and forth from the dock would be just garbage function.

Flip flop to dock a switch?  lol

See I wasn't even aware, more Wii to Wii U name confusion.

Yup, the branding on the Wiiu sucked hard...couple that with the same exact art style as the Wii version (except in HD).....its easy to see how people would think it was the same game. 

Its a great 2D game though.... didn't get to reach mass market on Wiiu because of branding confusion + the Wiiu bombed. 

Should do great on Switch since alot of people didn't play it on Wiiu.

Is it?

Yes.  Every single stage is a new stage. 

It actually had tons of content (8 worlds, secret worlds) and the Luigi Expansion was great. 

Almost 200 levels of 2D Mario stages. 

It also had those challenge stages that were ridiculously hard. 

The art style was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too similar to the previous NSMB games though.... people were tired of the SAME EXACT ART STYLE for 3 straight NSMB games. 

Even the three NES 2D games looked different... and so did the SNES game... not these three though... smh.

Umm it was a Wii game that was then ported to Wii U, now it's being ported to Switch.

no.  NSMB Wiiu is a totally different game.

It was NSMB 3.  

The thing is... both Sony and MS tend to take a conservative approach with trying something new with controllers.   

They would refine something that already established or make an improvement on that.   But they both rarely try to take gambles on controllers.   They wait until it works somewhere else and then make their own version of it. 

On the flip side....Nintendo takes huge gambles on controllers.... sometimes too much gambles to their own detriment (Wiiu) and sometimes it works out (Dpad, rumble, motion, analog, gyro etc). 

We would need all three taking gambles for controllers to move forward at a faster pace.

Yea it was.....  but the art style for these NSMB games are old now though

And this one has less than 1 year and Mario is already rendering very close to perfectly... while running at 40+ fps  

 

Completely different architectures...

 

And why do I care about the timeframe...? I don't need this to be perfect right now.  I'll be fine with buying and playing Bayo3 on my Switch, and then having the emulated 4K version a couple years later...  

Bro not hating on emulation.  just saying its funny that everytime you posted it... it was always "soo close". 

I'm a big fan of emulation myself. Helps preserve games for years to come.

They should probably remove "New" from the name, it wasn't even new when it came to Wii U. This is the third time it's releasing lol...

 

3rd time?  When was the 2nd?

But yea.. this port is snooze worthy.

I've never said an emulator is close to being done... but every time I post about one... it's closer than it was before  

 

Zelda BotW came along quite well in 2 years  

 

 

yes, Zelda was based off the Wiiu emulator that already had almost 5 years worth of work in it by the time Zelda launched... lol

Everytime Remij posts this its "soo close to being done".... more than a year later we're at almost the same point

I think making it harder to get guns could possibly prevent normal gun related deaths ( which are a bigger problem tbh , nobody talks about that tho )

 

I don't think it would stop mass killings . If you're the kind of person that can put your gun on a 95 year old lady or a 13 year old kill and still be able to pull the trigger...I don't think a longer wait period would stop that. 

 

 

it's not about stopping it 100% (as yet), America has too many guns for that to happen over night. 

Right now It's about reducing the amounts of incidents that involve killings with guns. 

It can gradually get better year after year but you have to start somewhere.

Depends on state...but not really

Yes really... it is like that in tons of states.

So next Wolf confirmed? I thought 2 bombed.

Young blood and Wolf 3 have both been talked about. 

During the panel, Hines teased that "the next Wolfenstein" game is also coming to Switch. 

That's intriguing because the new standalone game Wolfenstein: Youngblood is only confirmed for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. There is also a third major Wolfenstein coming, but no platforms have been announced yet. It appears Hines was referring to one or both of these games.

Bethesda already released Skyrim, Doom, and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus on Nintendo Switch, and Hines said Bethesda's games on Switch are doing well commercially.

The upcoming Doom Eternal and The Elder Scrolls Legendsare also headed to Switch.

I'm sure it is to an extent ...but just general conversation today with most people ...didn't even bring it up .

Or was just like ..oh yeah ? Damn that sucks .

 

Like when they literally live 5 minutes away . I think everyone is desensitized. This shit happens so much even when it literally hits home ....it's like ...oh yeah . 

Mass shootings happens waaaaay too much in North America... waaaaay too much

Neither of you have even touched it yet as far as Xbox Live is concerned  

 

Seems like neither of you give enough of a shit about this game to play it day 1 

 

They got caught lying about games they play... shocker
