Great to hear. All those who didn’t get a WiiU are now getting to enjoy the game on Switch.

Kurt Russell1579d ago (Edited 1579d ago )

Me being one of them. This to me is the best Mario franchise game I have played in a while. I wasn't actually mad for Odyssey or Luigis Mansion 3... I thought I was suffering franchise burnout. I actually forgot I had this pre-ordered so it came to me as a double surprise. 1) It arriving through he post on Friday 2) How bloody good it is.

bouzebbal1579d ago (Edited 1579d ago )

Game is better on wiiu, with gamepad and just better controllers. but if you never played it it's a very good Mario game.. Fury is lame, Bowser appearing every 10min is so redundant and repetitive. Giga bell fight is also extremely repetitive. 3D world is the best!

LM3 for me and for most wiiu owners is the only system seller. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Kurt Russell1579d ago

@bouzebbal
I didn't have a Wii U (or a Wii for that matter), and am going in sight unseen fortunately. I haven't got passed the base game yet to try Fury so can't comment on it.

I am not saying LM3 was bad at all, it just didn't resonate with me as much as I expected it to. I had only played the GC original one and remember enjoying it a lot at the time.

Lmcreach1579d ago

The other two games you mentioned are much superior to this game but it’s still fun. Those are fury is pretty cool albeit extremely short and definitely choppy In handheld. Odyssey is by far the best Mario platform game ever made

bouzebbal1579d ago

Lmc

Odyssey is trash.. I got bored because all you are doing is finding moons and there is no intensity in the game. Plus the boss fights are super repetitive.. How many times you are fighting each rabbit?? Exact same boss, not a single addition.
A huge letdown.. Best Mario is Galaxy 2, by faaaaaaaaar

Wish they would create a standalone download version of Bowser's Fury for those who already played 3D World on Wii U. I really don't want to pony up $60 to play a minor chunk of new content. They keep on kinda kickin' their Wii U fans for having owned that console lol.

Moonman1579d ago

I agree, I already enjoyed the game on Wii U also. Definitely would buy Fury if it was available for download alone. :) That being said, I'm glad it's doing well. I give the game a 9.0/10.

Tacoboto1579d ago

There are 6x more Switch owners than Wii U at this point. We're a small breed :/ that probably all bought MK8 again

Zeldafan641579d ago

I've got about 80 games on my Wii U

Outlawzz1579d ago

If you had it on wiiu you already played it years ago, sounds like a good enough deal to me lol the extra stuff is just a small chunk

If they were to give you that for download it would be priced with a $40 sticker in usual nintendo fashion.

ZeekQuattro1579d ago

The original release didn't even make it to the top 10. This debuts at number 1. Should be another top seller for the Switch with long legs.

Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?

Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.

All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.

GeeEssEff123d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga123d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast122d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion123d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy01122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.

robtion122d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha122d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z122d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

Finished all three already.. how about something new??

jznrpg207d ago (Edited 207d ago )

SpiderMan 2 came out last year. You expect Insomniac to pump out games every year ?

Lexreborn2207d ago

Insomniac released ratchet in 2021, Spider-Man in 2023 and people would still say they aren’t releasing enough games. It’s insane the expectations people have just because things are delivered so easily to them. No balance

Cacabunga207d ago

No idea why you people are so square.. it’s not Insomniac who released the Pro it’s sony .. if Sony want people to buy the console they need to show new games. Enhancements of existing games is a given thing everyone would expect

Babadook7207d ago

@jznrpg @Cacabunga

You both bring up good points. However, slow game releases are a natural result of increased hardware capabilities. We've seen this happen more each gen.

Cacabunga207d ago

@baba

I do not agree.. Sony is playing lazy and spilling money into gaas because there is no competition.. competition last two gens is what made Sony step it up the way they did.

Babadook7206d ago

@Cacabunga

Ok. What do you disagree with? What you said is plausible to a degree yet not mutually exclusive to what I said. Need clarification

I see absolutely no difference with base performance mode..

MrWood216d ago

Well yeah it tells you the difference— 1440p vs 4k for 60fps. You have to watch the video in 4k to see the difference.

dantesparda217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

Wukong actually performs worst in performance mode, wtf!

And wheres the damn update for this game. They're still more work to be done.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH217d ago

I saw Zero noticeable difference when I played it on Pro. The only game I’ve seen significant difference in is FF7RB but now I get these stutters after the Pro update. I can safely say that if you don’t have a PS5 then getting the Pro is a no brainer but upgrading from PS5 to Pro is not a wise move as of now. Wait for better new games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH216d ago

So you’re telling me that I DONT have a PS5 Pro and you’re telling me that I DONT have Demon’s Souls and you’re telling me that I DID in fact see a different in a game that according to you I don’t have? Im assuming you’re one of the lucky few who owns a Pro saw a major Difference in Demon’s Souls right?
