As excited as I am for the Mario Kart courses. The fact that those waves extend into next year makes me thing 9 is still pretty far away. I really hope they go the Smash route and start adding characters outside of the Mario universe to it. Imagine the courses they could do 😳 MK9 I always figured would be for the next system which this makes me think is sadly 2024 now. This still rules though. Agreed at opening it up for the next one would be good, I’d love to see more themed courses beyond Mario, and then they could port in the Diddy courses!

That makes it practically a brand-new Mario Kart game! If they were all-new courses, that is. Still, that's a lot of "new" tracks to race on. And it comes with the Expansion Pack! Noice.

I think that's why it was mentioned. But if you haven't played any of the Xenoblade games yet, both the first and the second (and the second's DLC, which is basically a new game in and of itself) is available now. If you like big, expansive, exploration-driven action-RPGs, they are worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Advance Wars and Chrono Cross at the same time is a bit of a nostalgia overload for me. Kirby looks great, my niece is gonna lose her mind over that Mario Kart pass, I might try Earthbound yet again to see if it finally clicks with me. Good stuff!

crispy4000 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Xenoblade 3 coming (this year!) might get me to play Torna now for real. I’m stoked. Bonus points for dialing back the ‘fan service.’ I only wish the Switch Pro was a thing by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I never played the original Mario Strikers on Gamecube, but that was well liked, right? I'm not into sports games, but given this is a much more arcadey, over the top sports game, I'm interested. Kirby looks like a lot of fun. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a nice surprise. I really do need to hurry up and play 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'm very much looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles 3. That said, I think Xenoblade Chronicles X gets an unfair wrap. It would be cool to see that game get a remaster. Yeah, the side missions are mostly shit since they were designed around multiplayer, but I liked a lot of the ideas they had for that game. Also, it's a wild technical marvel that has no right to exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Good direct but that felt more targeted at older games. Most of the stuff that excited me was all the retro remakes (well and kirby but I was already hyped for that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I enjoyed the first Xenoblade back on the Wii, but not enough to finish it (or play the sequel). If the remaster and/or sequel gets a nice sale at some point (not holding my breath), I’ll give the series another shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say nobody should waste their time on them, but to someone who is concerned about ps4 pro quality graphics already, these would be pretty difficult for you to deal with IQ wise, especially XB2. The new one as good as it does look in the trailer, I bet still has better IQ than XB2 so maybe just wait and get that if it’s solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regard Xenoblade 1 and 2 both a bit higher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
