What I Want to See in a Super Mario Odyssey Sequel

Super Mario Odyssey was a huge release for Nintendo Switch. It came out the year of the console's Launch and was the first big Mario Platformer for the system. It was an amazing game with fun levels, great characters and designs, unique ideas that weren't in Mario before, awesome spins on pre-existing Mario ideas, overall, it is a great game and still a top recommendation for anyone who owns a Switch.

Now, with the Switch Successor creeping very slowly around the corner, many have speculated on what a new 3D Mario game would be. A sequel to Odyssey? Galaxy? Something entirely new? We don't really know.

So today, I've decided to put in my two cents and go into detail on what I want in a potential sequel to Super Mario Odyssey. 

Nintendo & Pokemon Vs. Palworld (My Thoughts)

I'll admit, this wasn't gonna be my "big comeback" blog post, but here we are...

Ranking Every Wii U Port on Nintendo Switch (2022 UPDATE)

The Wii U had some really good games, and I mean some REALLY good games. From the franchise saving Bayonetta 2, to the new IP of Splatoon, to the new spin on old favorites like Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, etc. The unfortunate problem with these games is that they were stuck on the Wii U, an underperforming system with a concept that never quite took off.

Flash forward to the Nintendo Switch. A system with a simple yet ingenious concept and Nintendo fans got hooked. I'm talking currently outsold every previous Nintendo Home Console hooked. However, one thing that Nintendo fans noticed since that original trailer back in October of 2016, was the footage of Mario Kart 8 running on Switch. This later turned into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With that announcement and the success of that port, Nintendo and a few other developers started to take the games that were stuck on Wii U and port them to Switch, sometimes with extra features, updated controls, Quality of Life Improvements, or even new content/DLC.
​
So today Arza, Shadow, and I are going to look at almost all the major Wii U ports that came to Nintendo Switch and see if they are the new Definitive way to play the games, a Deluxe model of a great game, or just port to help get others to become new fans.

Let's see if these games are Definitive, Deluxe, or Ports.

WERE BACK ON BLOGGER!!

Did you miss us?

So yeah, it's been a minute since I've been here.

ARE YOU GONNA HELP MOVE THESE BOXES AT ALL?!
I'M COMING GIVE ME A MINUTE!

Anyways. No long drawn-out apologies this time, or a long explanation on where I've been as I have done that more than enough, just an honest refresh. I am here to say that, while I did enjoy using this site, updating weebly for everything didn't always work out the way I want it to, and I found it easier to post my initial thoughts and ideas much easier on blogspot than it was an entire website sometimes. Plus keeping track of stats and info wasn't always easy, and honestly wasn't cheap.

TL;DR - The format of my posts, didn't always work for this kind of website builder and I needed to go back to something that does fit that format much better.

I will be transferring some of the posts seen on weebly to blogger with a bit of updates depending on the material. So I hope you like those.

And also, No. I'm not closing the site down. At least not now.

Thank you guys for reading, thank you for all who've been keeping up with this site, and I'll hope you guys stay tuned to the future.

NEW SITE IS NOW OPEN

URGENT UPDATE!!!

Today, I'm happy to announce that I recently acquired a new sense of space that will enhance the features of the blog itself. It will also serve the purpose of taking our initiative of developing a strong connection with the fanbase and you ca-

YOU SUCK AT THESE KINDS OF JOKES! JUST SAY WE'RE MOVING TO A NEW SITE!

Well, thanks for ruining the fun.

If that's your definition of fun...

Guys come on. Save the banter for a bit later.

Alright here's whats happening. I-

And don't forget the exciting part.

Right...

So real talk. I've been using blogger for a while now and it has served me very well. Honestly, I would recommend blogger to anyone who would want a start there own blog talking about any ideas or thoughts they have. However, as I move forward with this endeavor and as I start to incorporate more ideas and especially incorporating my own comics and art I felt like I needed to go bigger with this blog. Also, nothing will be going away I'll still be doing all of my normal content, just on a new platform.

Our new home will be ntgamepoint.weebly.com. At the time of this post it isn't up yet but will be up on Thursday, February 14th, along with two posts and more updated character bio sheets on your's truly and shadow duo.

"ahem" "ahem"

Speaking of... One of the first posts will be an entirely Arza and Shadow narrated look... At the Top Nintendo Couples. yay🙄

Its gonna be super fun, right Shadow?

Well... If your excited about it, then I'll know it'll be fun. As long as you're happy.

Aww... Your so sweet.

...😠... WE GET IT, YOUR ADORABLE!!

Anyway. See you guys later at the new site. I will update this post with the link when the site goes up. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Micro Reviews #3

There are so many great games out there, but there are some titles that are a bit iffy. So today I'm gonna go through a few of them and give my little review of each to help you figure out what you should play and what you shouldn't. Welcome to Nintendo GamePoint+ Micro Reviews.

These reviews are more simplistic. Covering some of the important points of each game and having the same grading scale, but are smaller compared to the big game reviews. Also, this doesn't mean that the games covered here won't be given big reviews later. This is just a way to talk about some smaller games or give my general opinions on big games that I didn't/haven't given a full review for.

What games do you want to see get reviewed next? Let me know in the comments below and tell me what you thought of these games?

Games
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes

The Final Last Chance (10 Wii U Games I Still want on Switch)

To those who don't know, in late 2017 I made a list of 10 Wii U games that I still wanted to see come to Nintendo Switch. Fast-forward to now and not only have some of those games on the list gotten ports to the system, but some have gotten sequels/game equivalents announced. Not to mention, there aren't a lot of Wii U games left that are relevant or worth a port. We may not be scraping the bottom of the barrel, but we are definitely hitting the last stops of the train that is the Wii U Game Library. Even then, there are still some games I want ported that haven't happened yet and some games that have just come to my attention that I didn't put on the previous list. Today we will fix that.

So lets get this list done as it will probably be the last chance I'll ever have to update it. These are my 10 Wii U Games I Still Want on Nintendo Switch.

Quick Thoughts: Double Dose of Fighting

   

  

Today two interesting announcements took place. One was for the reveal of the new Mortal Kombat 11, coming to all consoles and PC April 23, 2019, showing the first gameplay footage and some of the new features and characters.

The second was the announcement of a new fighting game based on the hit TV Series called Power Rangers: Battle For the Grid, also coming to all consoles and PC in April 2019.

So I've come to give my thoughts, opinions and what I want from each of these games. So lets dive in.

I'M BACK! Plus, I brought some... Interesting New Friends.

Happy Birthday Nintendo Switch! (My Future Predictions)

One year ago today, Nintendo released their new hybrid console the Nintendo Switch. Along with it, the critically acclaimed Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released along side it as well Not only was the Switch very well received among fans and newcomers, many great games like Splatoon 2, ARMS, & Mario + Rabbids were released that year. Ports of games like Rocket League, DOOM, and Fifa 18 were released and gave not only Nintendo fans the chance to play some really good third party games, but gave third parties the chance to see what the Switch was made of. Add in the Award winning and fan favorites Zelda BOTW and Super Mario Odyssey, along with the announcements for future games coming soon, I think it is very safe to say that Nintendo had an amazing first year with Nintendo Switch.

So today, I want to use my ever powerful psychic skills to determine what the future holds for the Switch in 2018. These are some of my Switch 2018 Predictions.

Also, I'm going to make up the names for the games that don't have a real title yet because this is my blog and I can do whatever the heck I want...

On With The Show!

Top 5 WORST Nintendo Games of 2017

SUCKED...

2017 was full of ups and downs, these are the said "downs". Now to be honest, I had a hard time making this list, which in my mind was a good thing. I found there were a lot more good Nintendo games than bad ones, unless I missed/didn't play something. However, I think that these games did no one any favors and I would avoid these games. They didn't bring the whole year down, but they did do something wrong, these are...
