Mario Kart actually won me, Zelda looks cool, and Donkey Kong could be interesting also Duskbloods was a surprise and Kirby. Other than that really mid show and avoiding price was bad really mid for the price nothing wowed me that much to buy at launch. Don’t like the “modernized” Nintendo it feels they listened to a certain crowd of influencers when making this console and decisions resulting in the prices and “upgrades” to games.
Atlus needs to get free rein to make a Pokémon game already and let RGG Studio make a new F-Zero. Hoping we get a big Shonen Jump game wouldn’t mind a port of the Nintendo ones also they could pay Bandai to finally make Klonoa 3. Would love to see Mario Power Tour Tennis return to the RPG roots or remake of the GBA classic.
All these clowns who bought 5 PS5’s will rush to buy this console and games they bought all the PC upgrades and handhelds too.
