Can any recommend a good platformer game on the Switch. Was thinking of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe. Is that any good?

Yeah its good, if you like the normal 2D Mario's.

Also you have Super Mario Odyssey and New Super Lucky's Tale.

It’s one of the worst 2D Mario games in my opinion.

Get Rayman instead, it’s superb. If you like difficult platforms then Celeste is the best platformer that I’ve ever played.

My daughters switch has recently developed stick drift. Is sending the joycons back to nintendo the only fix?

You can replace the stick yourself.

I did both sticks in my kid's switch. Fairly easy if a little fiddly

NSMBU is great. As is Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Rayman Legends is regularly in sale. All top quality. Celeste is my favourite by far it's just a perfect platformer. It's tough but I've managed to finish it a couple of times. The bonus levels are beyond me though.

Bloody hell, still no release date/announcement for BOTW2, new 3D Super Mario, Mario Kart 9, Mario Galaxy, F Zero, Punch Out, Mario Stiker?

I wonder if a one or two of those won’t be launch titles for the Switch Pro/4K?

jrwagh333 · 1 Sep 2020 at 07:54

There will not be a Switch 4K. There has been a rumour every year since launch.

Nintendo have never gone for power in any consol, why would they suddenly start now?

Switch will get many revisions no doubt but that's it

2021, 2022, not being developed this generation, only a fan rumour, not in development, not in development, not in development.

They used to. The SNES, N64, and GameCube were all powerful console in their generations. They won’t now though as it’sa folks stand to chase the power.

As far as I remember GameCube was still less powerful than what Sony and Microsoft had out?

I agree though chasing power means nothing take Xbox One X currently the most powerful one but least imo it has no games that make me think I need that.

I'm also happy with a game that may look poor long as it's fun

IIRC the gamecube was actually more powerful than the PS2 and a bit less than the XBOX?

Not much in it really.

No new Mario Kart?

Not even for the new Switch (assuming it is real)?

Mario Kart 8 is still charting all over the world it's insane how it just keeps on going. There will be a sequel though, one day.

Nope. The team that develop the series are working on other projects. Even if they started developing it now the game would be 3 years away from release.

I wouldn’t expect a Mario Kart until the successor to the switch (not a pro or refresh model).
