Nintendo Switch 2 - For the Soytendo consoomers to speculate about the successor to the Switch, recently announced for 2025.

Counting 3D Land and Yoshi's Island but not Land/Land 2 and Wonder is crazy
3DLand was made by the same crew that did the Galaxy games and went on to do 3DWorld and Odyssey. It was the main team doing a main game on hand-held from that era where Japanese companies were insisting that handheld titles were just as important as home console ones (because they sold better in Japan.) Its not about which system they're on, its who's making them and why. And then Yoshi's Island, aside from being literally titled Super Mario World 2 in some regions, is built off of a bunch of Mario World assets by the Mario team, features Mario (and he's even playable when he gets the star!) and introduces a bunch of stuff that became core to the series. Are you sure you don't want to complain about SMB2 US or Captain Toad instead?

The 4 NES titles, World, debatably Yoshi's Island, 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1+2, 3D Land, 3D World, debatably Captain Toad and Odyssey. I could see DKB being one too, depending on whether the Odyssey team were all working on it or if this was a spin-off group with the main team set to real another Mario title in the near future.

Bare in mind, that's just "SMB" games, there's also the two original DK arcade games (debatably 3 too, though that one had no creative team continuity,) and regular Mario Brothers as "non-Super" Mario titles.
Odyssey only debatably? Come on, this is all arbitrary.

I'd rather not pay 15% more for anything at all but that requires not electing retards to office.
Be sure not to vote Democrat again then.

...I was doing them sequentially. Captain Toad is debatable, Odyssey isn't.

And if you really want to get in the weeds there are game version differences like VS SMB, the Allstars versions of the NES games, Capt. Toad's two endings, the e-Reader content for handheld ports of the early games, etc.

I feel like a comma would've helped there, or mention Captain Toad separately.

Anyway, I think most people just consider all the traditional 2D & 3D platformers to be mainline entries in the "Super Mario" series. The only ones that may not are things like the Super Mario Maker series, though if somebody counted them (at least SMM2, since it has a story mode) then I wouldn't really argue.
 
Nintendo Switch 2 game key cards have to go.

> "Nintendo values game preservation".

Hahahah. Nintendo is objectively the company most against game preservation in the entire industry. They would happily burn every product they made to sell you the same shit again, including going against emulation that even EA and Activision aren't doing.
It doesn't matter how "low" the tariff rate is, 15% on an already highly priced product is far worse than 15% on a cheap product. Given the choice, I'd rather pay 15% more on a pack of Skittles (25 cent difference) than a fucking game console ($30-50 difference). I'd rather not pay 15% more for anything at all but that requires not electing retards to office.
That was retarded even for a post on this thread:
1. Basic economics mean that a product with less demand should be sold for less, not more. Especially after years of development that mean individual components cost a fraction they originally did.
2. A company pushing the full extent of the tariffs into the consumer while it is (supposedly) extremely successful is a shitty greedy company.
3. You are guilty of Nigger economics. That 15% increase on a low product cost would cost more on the long run than a luxury product that should (in theory) last for several years. Not only that, favouring short term economic policies are what caused the USA to be in a shit state in the first place. It goes double with the Switch 1 and 2 having abysmal product quality due to being made in China.

Finally I don't get what Nintendrones have with the Switch outselling the PS2. They got so buckbroken by Sony they need the validation of removing its past achievements.

Nintendo's internal archives are excellent and extend back decades, far better than nearly every other old company's. What you are actually bitching about is access, and yeah, they do want you to have to pay a lot of money to access their products.

lol, with no widespread free access, those "internal archives" are one retard away from vanishing permenantly.

I am a dumb retarded idiot for buying a Switch 2, but God damn Bananza was great. That entire ending sequence is the most hype thing Nintendo has ever created.

I mean that should not be a surprise. All of the showing was lazy third party devs.
How do nintendo collecters even view these things?
Badly.
They must know it's basically a download code in a plastic shell right?
At the very least it is a download that will never not be available. Due to not being tied to eshop.

Nintendo doesn't have a good track record of letting downloads stay up once the current generation of consoles is up. There will be a day when those unused codes are useless and the servers no longer exist to download these games, the keycards will become coasters and the games will become lost media. You don't have to worry about that with a cartridge or a disk, every single piece of downloadable content is only one provider away from becoming abandoware and if nobody backed the game up, too bad!
With how World and Bananza turned out, I don't think you can even depend on first party titles to sell the console anymore, they're both mediocre. Nintendo is losing it's touch, lack of competition is really going to their heads. They need another Wii U moment to humble them.

If you’ve got the licence for Wii games they still download. We are 20 years into that thing. GKC have the licence on. They’ll be fine. The problem with be any DLC tied to the eshop, as usual.

No. They need to stop listening to what fans say they want. It’s how stuff like the Switch 2 and the U etc.
 
Seems pretty arbitrary as to what you consider mainline then. Is it only Mario Bros. 1-4 (World)? Or 1-4 plus 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1&2, and Odyssey?
Basically, any platformer that has a title begining with "Super Mario" with the exceptions of Yoshi’s Island, Wario Land 1, and Super Mario Run (and the Maker games are arguably more sandbox than platformer so they don't really count either, and I also don't count things like remakes and compilations. I also consider Super Paper Mario to be part of the RPG series but the RPGs feel like honarary members of the main series to me, with the exception of the last 3 Paper Mario games. My headcanon is that the book world from Paper Jam only contained everything from Sticker Star onward and that the first 3 Paper Mario games took place in the regular Mario continuity).

I don't think many collector types are buying them, the whole point of a physical copy is that you actually own a copy of the media inside it
