I don’t see a issue with the old name 🤷🏿 but in this day and age I can see how a it might be considered insensitive and racist, Nintendo don’t want a backlash from it so they’re changing the local name to the other mayor regions name hopefully in the future they don’t change Mario voice as it’s is a more offensive stereotype of a Italian.

Well me and my friends got the family membership together and pay roughly £4 a year each for online, which I think anyone would agree is worth it

Not being able to message people on the system to ask them if they want to play something plus their first party games are peer to peer so the games can get pretty laggy since not everyone has has amazing internet

Wrecking Crew and Rhythm Heaven sound like they could be cool new IPs.

I believe Rhythm Heaven has had previous games, not sure about Wrecking Crew, it could be a new version of the demolition game that released at N64's launch.
