Holy shit I saw people discussing the Mario Tennis/Golf games on Switch for a longer period of time before dropping them this quickly. Youtubers played it the week it launched and then never again. How did they frick this up so badly?

Game is greatstay mad.
Youtubers are weak ass noskill Black folk.
Obviously they drop a game that requires a baseline of effort.
it's open world zelda from here on out
everything else is too risky
>literally no content
>no characters
>no unlockables
>no stadiums
>online is shit
>customization is shit
>gameplay is just okay
>purposely withholding base game characters to dripfeed as DLC
That'll be 59.99 plus tax.
>customization is shit
Wut?
>Customization is shit
What customziation? There's like 5 kits.
It's simply a lackluster game which really shouldn't be $60. Also Ganker won't admit it but switch interest in general is dwindling down due to the delays of big games and aging tech

Nah Splatoon 3 and Pokemon S/V ensure the system has 3 years left minimum. The truth is strikers is just badly thought out.
>Make a competitive focused casual sports game that shamelessly dripfeeds content including fricking Daisy
I think switch in 2025 would be pushing it but up to 2024 sure. They already have next year covered with BOTW2 and potentially Prime 4. But otherwise it's kind of had all the big names already and they're not gonna do a Mario Kart 9 when 8 is still getting DLC
I'm done with GaaS garbage, I like what NLG does in general but I'm not buying the same unfinished shit just so they can give you the rest of the game a year down the line to drive "engagement"
The Krittergay was right.
I remember people were coping that this wouldn't be another switch-era Mario Sports game people would forget about in a couple weeks but here we are.
It fricking sucks because I love NLG but people should've seen this coming a mile away, I don't get why people vehemently deny the warning signs before launch every single time.
I dropped my interest as soon as I heard about the launch roster and post-launch updates being announced before the game was out
season 2 starts tomorrow, you know what to do

Mario strikers for gamecube came out nearly 20 fricking years ago and looks better, has more content and plays better than the new one.
Every single thing you just said is a lie.
Different anon. It has more characters, it has more power ups, more modes, more cups, more individual stadiums, and more difficulty configurations.
>More individual stadiums
That play the same and lack customization
>More cups
It had only 4, this one has 6.
>More characters
Only if you count the partners, and one of the capitains is just the Waluigi asset-reuse robots
>More modes
The only alt mode was the same basic gameplay under a different menu. The new game mogs it hard with the Club-mode and having actual online multiplayer.
>More power ups
They were the same items this game has but with slightly different silly variations, meanwhile BL has Gear which changes the game up much more than those items would.
You can say Charged mogs this game, but pretending the original has more going for it is nonsense.
The stadiums in both games are cosmetic only. Customization is pointless in that context. The GC game has 8 cups. OF COURSE YOU COUNT THE SIDEKICKS, you play using them. The new game has effectively three modes if you want to play it with that logic, which is abysmal. Gear doesn't change that there were more items in the original title. That's a deflection.
>Only if you count the partners
Why wouldn't you count them?
Because they are super simple and bare. Charged gave partners juice, but in Strikers they're just filler and don't really add much to the game, if anything.
"Customization is pointless" is silly. Like you said, the stadiums are cosmetic, so customization makes them more fun. Even musically the new game's stadiums are fuller since they get alt music when you upgrade them.
If you're seriously counting the hard-mode as "extra cups" than Battle League has 12 cups, since it also has hard mode equivalents.
And yes, the new game has only 3 modes compared to the original's 2 modes, glad you agree.
Gear is objectively more effortful than the original game's "lol bigger shell and lol bigger bomb" items, it's not a deflection, it's a fact that the game has more content than the original, and the fact that part of said content is online multiplayer increases it's value even further.
>more characters
hardly, the characters are less detailed, especially the 4 sidekicks
>more power ups
lol
>more modes
nope, it has quick play and cups, same as battle leagues
>more individual stadiums
ignoring any customizations for battle league eh?
>more difficulty configurations
alright, since we're reaching extremely hard for stuff to call content, I'll put stuff that the original strikers doesn't have.
>character themes
>stadium themes
>gear
>online
>online clubs
>victory animations
>cup win animations
Cool dude. Let's see if all that 'content' will get more players or keep threads alive. Utterly abysmal.
>moving the goalpost
it's definitely keeping this thread alive almost a month later
😉
Truth is that Strikers was never a big game, social media gaymerz just pretended to like it because of the art style and cutscenes they saw on Youtube.
Mario golf is great. Always have a blast playing a round with my friends or watching the absolute HORSESHIT the AI will pull off to get the ball near the hole. If you don’t care about the speed golf you can just ignore it and have fun plying normally. It’s what I did
is Golf still active online at all? I played it online a lot near launch but haven't really touched it since
Not really. You might find a couple lobbies open occasionally, and the ranked online will take 1-3 minutes to find anyone to queue up with.
Nice shot
Still looking forward to grabbing that. Still playing Tennis Aces. Not too many people online, but it's really addictive trying to rank up.
how sexy is Rosalina in this? this is important to my enjoyment of it
it's not a good game or rather it's not a good full priced game. The gameplay is okish but if you don't like grinding online, which isn't all that great in general, there's nothing there for you. People shit on fifa but it's a way better package than this
Anyone wanna play the original or Charged online with dolphin?
As much as I loved them during the GCN and even Wii era, it just feels like Mario Sports games are a fricking waste of a project to put a talented studio on.
At the very least, once this game is done with updates NLG will either do a Punch-Out sequel or work with an IP they haven't worked with yet. I'll always have a ton of respect for just how consistent their output is when it comes to scheduling. We STILL have no clue what happened with Retro after DKC TF
They probably were working on something that ended up Metroid Prime'd by Nintendo. As in, the prototype sucked so Nintendo told them to start over, but then the Metroid Prime 4 situation came up.
Nintendo fricking scammed me on this game. This shit was not worth $60 at all. This game's ranked mode fricking SUCKS.
>Shit online
>4 vs 4 online doesn't work
>Barely any content
>60$
>Looks like shit on my 4k tv
Even though they're solid, I've regretted every Mario sports title I bought on switch. I'm going to emulate XB3, screw Nintendo.
The sheer lack of hype doesn't help, but I'm just not into competitive games anymore.
Why is the stadium so god damn small? Seriously, go look up gameplay of the Strikers Charged and compare. Battle League gives you no space at all to play and set up passes/shots, and the opponent can nab the ball and be in his side within a second or two.
