It's very exciting that they added the placeholders for the new characters. This means at least 5 more characters (I assume they won't expand it more unless there is a second Pass, which I'm not counting on.) My guesses are: Diddy Kong (definitely) Pauline (definitely) Petey (almost...

I'm super happy Birdo is coming and I'm actually quite curious how they're going to add them to the select screen. I think we'll know on release date how many more characters are added. If they combine pre-existing characters, they could add any number of characters, but if they expand the...

When Birdo was added to Tour, they had the same color options too, Tour Drivers. Outside of Tour / MK though, I can't think of any game or instance where you can pick a different color Birdo. I do think I remember seeing blue or green ones in the stands in one of the sports games, like Mario...

I actually feel the exact opposite, actually and am actually incredibly excited for it. The expansion pass is $25 vs. Octo Expansion's $20, but $5 for an additional hub and themed city is worth it for me. Now, it is possible that it'll be added down the line to the NSO premium tier, but in...

I'd love to see some new first party Mario / DK / Yoshi games personally. I'm also pretty excited for Mario Kart DLC as well. I'm sure we'll see some of the new Zelda, Pikmin, maybe Metroid. Either way, should be good!

I'm in my 30s and have played every main series game and most spinoffs (though I haven't played Arceus or Violet / Scarlet yet) and my favorite is HeartGold and SoulSilver. (And by extension, the original Gold / Silver / Crystal). I really loved the companion following on the map, and Johto...

Favorite Switch game: Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, by a long shot. I've played 15,000+ online matches, started going to locals, and SSB has always been my favorite series. Second favorite is probably Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but things like Ori, Hollow Knight, etc I've also had a great time...

While I'm really digging the art style and animations, that hit stun is scary. I realize that's sort of how MvC is, but it feels like there should be a happy medium somewhere between this and SSB. In any case, more platform fighters = good, so good on them for entering the genre!

At first I was really hoping for a Mario Kart 9, but honestly, 48 more tracks including what I imagine will be a good chunk of the Tour ones (that I haven't played), is pretty exciting. MK8D is an incredibly solid game as is, and effectively doubling the tracks is nice. I'm really hoping that...

Definitely a bummer for people that enjoy playing previous gen games, but for me personally, I only really play current gen games. I'm in my 30s and the time I do find for games is spent playing current gen games (so much so that I trade in every older gen console, I currently only have a...

Yeah, some cool things, and I'm glad to see the number of AAA games touched upon at least. Mario Kart I was hoping for a new game, but honestly, 48 remastered tracks will be a blast. Loved Advanced Wars growing up and this looks like a competent remaster, I'll begetting it for sure. Some of...

For "SSBU Re-release", you mean like a Deluxe version with all of the DLC? I don't think they'll do this on the current Switch only because they very very rarely drop prices of their games at all. SSBU is still $60 retail, and given that the Fighters passes are each $25ish, I can't imagine...

Oh neato! I'd love to see something Mario Kart related, a new Donkey Kong or Mario mainseries game, Breath of the Wild 2 or Splatoon 3 update, or a new Yoshi game would be cool. The more first party things, the better. I've still been meaning to check out FE Three Houses and both Xenoblade...

I actually think I'm most surprised that we don't have a Bowser stage yet at all (minus that transformation in Paper Mario, but people don't play that stage with Hazards enough to even have seen it probably, hah.) Especially when Bowser and the Koopalings have been in multiple games at this...

It looks really good! I don't think I've played the last few new Kirby games, but this one is definitely on my radar!
