I agree with this. I replayed it when I couldn't get an N64 at launch and even then I knew it would always be a timeless game.

Would it be possible to preorder something digital on the Switch Store or whatever, and have it download when it releases?

Not at the moment. It was possible on Wii U and 3DS after they both launched so I could see Switch getting that functionality eventually.

It's fun, but, there's no build diversity, there are characters clearly superior to others, there is nothing to do between fights, the exploration mechanics are actively bad, and there isn't nearly enough content (really all of the battle challenges should have been levels and then made more movement/mechanic based challenges). What is there is really really fun and the DLC will pad out the content, but it is not something I'm recommending to people to pick up right now at full price unless you're desperate for something to play/don't mind overpaying.

How far did you get? For example, Luigi's overwatch was a go to move until World Three where it didn't work on multiple enemies.

Yeah, in XCOM an 80% chance to hit at lower difficulties is actually a 96% chance because the game cheats in the player's favor because less skilled players will often take worse shots and they didn't want them to feel too bad about missing

I much prefer the chance in Mario to XCOM. Despite knowing I'm going to make the shot, the amount of damage isn't certain. I've had moments where I did less damage than I was counting on, but that's way less frustrating than missing a shot where you player has direct line of sight.

I disagree in that regard, it's frustrating to hit a 50% shot but then you rolled the low end of the damage roll so you're still screwed.

No it hasn't. Their first trailer said 2017, then at E3 they announced it as being a October release which was a month earlier than anyone thought.

There were some people saying Zelda would be delayed to a holiday game and Mario would be a launch title but they were just making poo poo up.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I recall hearing Nintendo had to make the crying sound more annoying because otherwise people didn't get that if you didn't rescue Baby Mario soon, bad things happen.

I loved the baby Mario mechanic that really hid how hard it was to actually lose a level if you were even slightly careful, by masking it behind the clock. Levels became super stressful even though a lot of the time if you were patient you really couldn't die.

Also touch fuzzy get dizzy was just brilliant.

They are in console Mario games, but the Wario Land series gave the ability to ground pound before that. :eng101:
Granted, I am not sure if R&D1 and EAD had any overlap at this point, so I don't know if it inspired the move for YI.

Put it to sleep and it should be the same when you pick it up in the morning.

Sleep mode retains a charge fairly well, you'll get more longevity if you put it in airplane mode too so it doesn't spend time looking for updates
