Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[SnakeFighter64]

Both are great but way longer, especially brothership. I’ve had the game since day one and played about 2 hours almost every day and I still am nowhere near done with the game. I only just got to the third sea. It’s a huge game but really fun and worth playing for sure.

Lol it’s a game I have to finish myself, it I didn’t think it was crazy long. I also was getting my ass kicked a lot and got pre occupied by other games so I haven’t gotten to finish it yet.

They just spent 2-3 extra years working on the game if I had to guess. Because why do the booster course pass so late into the switch unless they already had these characters ready to go for something else?


I’d be pretty surprised if the entire roster from 8 deluxe isn’t back, especially with how much bigger the race capacity is

not the entire cast though right? We don't need Tanooki Mario and Pink Gold Peach

I'd worry too if my child was never able to grow up.

And if I hatched out of an egg already having a baby

Do you think a Switch 1 console can be used in the Switch 2 dock?

Likely not

Everyone, I present Godzilla doing a Miku Miku Beam:

Oh you're the guessing boy alright. Whenever someone needs a guess, who do they call? The guessing boy. That's you.

And I guess you will meet an unfortunate fate tomorrow!

I think the timeline of events has gotten mixed up in regards to DK.

DK's redesign was likely planned really far in advance for the new generation, so MK9 DK isn't "based off the movie" as much as it is just the movie being the first piece of media to use this new design.

A long game eh?

I'm in for a very fun ride!

I am quickly learning that Donkey Kong fans are a very paranoid group

Mario Kart roster arguments are dumb imo because we'll never get a Cataquack so the roster can never be perfect so what's even the point smh my head

8 Mario Kart games in and not one Goomba has been added.

I'm being serious here, where are they?

I actually miss Cataquacks as an enemy in the Mario series.

They made a few appearances after the original version of Sunshine, but not counting it's port in 3D All Stars, they just kinda disappeared after the Wii era for some reason.

Just a little something. If you watched Owl House, Dana Terrace is cooking a new show with Glitch if interested. Just beware that it is Sci-Fi horror based on the teaser.

Iirc Dana Terrace did say she wanted to work on adult animation next, good to see she got what she wanted.

My ability to tolerate horror can be pretty limited but I am still intrigued by this teaser. It's gotta be an allegory for something, right?

 

[TheCJBrine]

I’d like to play as a Goomba in Mario Kart.

You can’t tell me those little dudes can hit a home run but not use a steering wheel.

Not having a new game in ten years will do that to you.

 

[Knight Dude]

I'm only gonna shill for Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, Funky, and K. Rool. Even if that means they're all gonna get ugly redesigns that make them look more like Mario/Nintendo characters than Rare characters.

Won't know what they'll look like till they show up. Don't ask me why, but I feel like Diddy (and I guess Dixie) won't look TOO different. K.Rool, since he's always wearing different fits, I could see him looking new and weird.

I might continue my plans to keep my Switch 1 for modding now that we know about backwards compatibility but how well Nintendo handles it will be a consideration.

I think they mentioned the "ALMOST every game will work" thing.

1. Sony did that with PS4 on PS5 as a precaution, likely the same thing for Nintendo I imagine.

2. I think Labo, and maybe Ring Fit or any peripheral game might not carry-over the same, but that's me guessing, ngl.

It’s going to be the entire cast, random clones included. I know people hate them, but they are kind of necessary inclusions because they have different weight properties and expand the categories for heavier or lighter characters that the game would lack otherwise. So I never really hated the clones even if the concepts are weird.

Well I guess they are into kongspiracies.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Diddy will probably be like DK and look like how they do for Super Nintendo World.

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

I'm not terribly interested in Goomba or Monty Mole, partly because they're generic enemies but mostly because they wouldn't have interesting profiles when driving a kart.

Like, you'd just be looking at a brown lump for the majority of a race.

That being said, if I had to choose, I'd pick the funnier brown lump with no arms.

K.Rool, since he's always wearing different fits, I could see him looking new and weird.

Yeah, there was that one Mario baseball game featuring a slightly Mario-fied K. Rool:

fear him
