I will buy it. Looking forward to playing it with my son. Also, no good reason to play the Wii U again.

I pre-ordered it when it was announced and I'm pretty excited to play it again and of course try the new game.

My wife is not going to be happy that this comes out two days before valentine's day.

I fucking hate how I have to look at SM3DW + Bowser's Fury installed on my Switch right now even though it's not playable until next Friday.

Never played it before. Really enjoying it. The world feels similar to Mario Kart.

Oh man, I wish I could play Galaxy for the first time again. So creative and pure.

This is a limited time thing, isn't it?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Which is worth picking up for Galaxy alone.

We have All-Stars. I just don't have a kid's birthday coming up, so I wanted to know if I needed to pick up 3D World right now, or if it can wait.

I just started Galaxy yesterday. Is it better with the joycons or pro controller?

I found it a little frustrating at first having very little control over the camera in a 3D game. As the levels get bigger in scope though it's becoming less of a nuisance.

This is how I would rank the controller options:

1. Split Joycons (how the game was originally designed to be played)
2. Pro Controller (pointer controls work remarkably well though re-centering can be sort of a pain)


3. Handheld

Thanks. I've been using the pro controller but i'll give the split joycons a go.

Playing Galaxy on the Switch with the handheld is such a miserable gaming experience.

I'm still amazed how good Galaxy looks on a giant TV. They just increased the resolution and the 13 year old game still looks great.
