One of the best games of all time getting a remake! Can't wait for it! So far, it looks fantastic, can't wait to get my hands on it
well went to walmart today to grab my copy, went to electronics and waited like I usually do when games come out that day. woman shows up with 2 cardboard boxes I got a smile on my face and she's like may I help you? I'm like yep I want one of those inside that box. She gives me a copy and says hey I want to take a picture, I was kinda puzzled and she makes me aware that Nintendo is doing some kind of promotion for the game and asking retailers to take pictures of persons who are buying the game. so I smiled and got my picture taken with the game box. wonder what Nintendo has going on (b ' ' )b
@PikminMarioKirby it looks and runs awesome, I have a Samsung QLED q70c and it runs like it was made at 60fps. Loving it (b ' ' )b
wonder if anyone plans on making a nice strat guide for it, I found a PDF of the ORIGINAL official nintendo guide =) think it was said that its the same exact game nothing new
