I feel like Nintendo has to have SOME kind of Mario game to launch with the movie, it just seems like such an obvious combo to help promote both things together, even if it's not a tie-in at all.
As an aside: And don't take this the wrong way at all, I really like reading your thoughts on here! But I'm curious: Off the top of my head, I feel like I rarely see you talking about any games that you like (especially more recent games). What are your favorites that have released in the Switch era? Or even just in general? Again I don't mean to be negative or anything, I just feel like I've seen you talk about several games lately that I've been surprised you didn't like, so it makes me wonder!
I’ve been very positive on the following switch games (by switch I mean. I played them on switch).
-Xenoblade 2
-Torna
-Slay the Spire
-Hades
-Mario + Rabbids (stop praising and acknowledging it after the Ubisoft stuff, my game of 2017)
-Monster Train
-Yugioh Legacy of the Dualist
-Ace Attorney 1&3 (2 is terrible, the last case isn’t even as good as everyone made it out to be)
-Clubhouse Games
-Resident Evil 4 (yes I’m still adding it dammit. It’s amazing in handheld)
I found the following switch games as good. Solid games but either have
•lots of issues for me
•forgettable or
•just not my cup of tea but can admit objectively solid overall
-Breath of the Wild
-Octopath Traveler
-Paper Mario Origami King
-Fire Emblem Warriors
-Fire Emblem Three Houses (Fire Emblem is my favorite series. I have so much to
Say about this title and why I feel it’s not great and room for mass improvement, but still enjoyed my time with it)
-Mario Tennis Aces
-Mario Odyssey (probably the most forgettable game for me here that I would always say it’s objectively good and recommend to first time Mario players or players in general. I just didn’t care for it at all. Beat it and never returned to it so I can’t even say what the post game is like)
Disappointing Switch games
-Mario Maker 2
-Splatoon 2
-Bravely Default 2 (lots of “2” lols)
-Super Mario Party (I actually like this game. But I didn’t realize it handheld only so it never got played again cause I’m mostly a handheld player, dumb restriction).
Simple banter posts really show I’m far more negative then in reality. I rarely give full thoughts on a game due to only typing on mobile. I get lazy, but I’m pretty analytical and extensive when talking about any games. There’s always just so much to say, just easily out loud then typing for me. I had a bit of a rant about persona Yesterday here tho, probably the most I’ve typed here for a single post lol
