      Nintendo has a false sense of value and think everything they release automatically screams $60. Then they fail to understand that as a game sits on a store shelf, it should occasionally see a price drop, but nope... in Nintendo's world, everything should retain it's value forever. Imagine if Nintendo ran a Car Dealership. Got a car that has 200,000miles on it? Still $30,000.

    Some things I'll add, that I haven't really seen mentioned, are:
    - The pitches are too small (in comparison to the old Strikers games)
    - In the first game in the series, on the GameCube, they had two character models for the goalkeeper.. 17 or so years later, they don't give us more, but rather less; only one goalie, who is crap in goal btw, like Wood mentioned
    - Why is it you could choose your team's formation and tactics/playstyle back in the older games, but not in this one. Again, lack of effort and polish Nintendo
    Such a shame because this was one of my most anticipated games since it was announced in the February Direct, and no amount of free updates/dlc will really tackle the issues I've mentioned above, unfortunately. Finally, the gameplay just simply isn't as fun as the GameCube version imo, that game is tonnes of fun.

    Great video! I was really excited about this game initially as I had loved the previous ones, but I recently learned about the lack of content and decided not to purchase it. It is really unfortunate that this is becoming a trend with many of Nintendo's sports games. I'd rather they delay the game a bit and make sure it is a complete package.
    I get the feeling Next-Level Games was possibly rushed by Nintendo to get the product out the door for an early summer release. I mean, even Strikers Charged had a Mission Mode to add an extra single-player option.
    I actually wanted a new Mario Baseball game on Switch, but now I'm a bit hesitant that it might just be another half-finished game like the others.

    I've been thinking about this for years. They did release something called Mario Sports Mix before, where it was multiple sports games in one bundle. Maybe they should start doing that. It's not that these sports games are terrible either, Mario Golf Super Rush, Mario Strikers Battle League, and Mario Tennis Aces are all pretty fun, but at $60 a pop it's rough to justify them. But I would gladly pay the $60 to have them all in one.

    This has been my biggest complaint with the Switch, I LOVE it but can't continue to pay $60 for games I missed the first time or simply want to replay but don't have that console. This is why the steam deck is so great for me now. Minus Nintendo First party games I can buy older games from the Xbox 360 era for dirt cheap and play them in handheld !

If the Online is free, i would easily consider that as maybe the best game on the Switch for value (i don't know the animal crosing), also, the only game on the Switch that has truly good graphics and perfomance, the rest look ugly/cheap or run like crap.

    As someone who's abandoned 6+ Switch games they played, I agree that the price ranges of these games is too much. $80 for each game in Australia or $60 USD isn't worth it for the content.
    I was personally excited by the announcement only now to wait until it goes cheap to buy so I have it for my collection just play once a month. Including the announcements from the mini direct, there are 7 or 8 games, I'll rather play now or when they're released bc they seem to have/have more content than this.

    With that being said, it feels like, 6 weeks after launch, this is FINALLY the "BARE MINIMUM" this game should have been at launch. Like the last 6 weeks was truly the beta version.
    If they don't release an update soon to let us do 4v4 online on 4+ different consoles and some improvement to the offline stuff (events, more detailed/longer tournament mode, etc.) this game won't survive until the next character update (which face it is prob already done but they're sitting on it to "Increase engagement later bs"

    I was so hyped from that direct that announced Switch Sports and Mario Strikers, especially Strikers was something I have been hoping for for years. I still haven't bought either because exactly the reasons you talk about in this video. I have Mario Golf on the switch, and that made me weary of buying sports games early, so I first wait for the reviews and then see.
    Especially with Mario Strikers I still feel conflicted about it because I loved the first one and I REALLY want to love this game, but I can't just go around throwing my money at nintendo and enabling their rush jobs. I've played the online demo and I know the game plays like I hoped it would play but the lack of content in these games is insane at this point.

Compare that to Mario sports games on the Switch, with lack of varied content, spotty pay-to-use online play, and trying to salvage the game with lackluster DLC, and you'll understand why most older Nintendo fans are upset most of the time

    One of the things that bothers me the most from the recent Mario Sports Games, that you didn't comment; is the fact that, nothing is unlockable anymore. All characters come from default.
    I remember as a little kid trying to unlock every Final Fantasy Character in Mario Hoops 3 on 3. And it felt challenging and fun!
    Going through the GCB Mario Tennis, and Mario Super Sluggers MINIGAMES mastering all of them to unlock stars on every characters, and new courts and unlocking Petey Piranha.
    The first time I unlocked R.O.B. in Mario Kart Ds, or Rosalina in Mario Kart Wii! It felt so rewarding! 💙
    That's actually the main reason I didn't buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Switch. You actually do not unlock anything except but maybe just some customization for karts..

Add in all of the Mario characters with the most intense personalities and ultra level competitiveness and these games were up there for some of the greatest gameplay experiences I have ever had.....I just played Battle League for the first time a couple days ago as my brother got the game.
    It lost every bit of magic the first two games had. If you loved the first two games, I am of the opinion that you will be disappointed not only by the limited content...but also the gameplay was downgraded. Just a sad day for Mario Strikers fans

    I just really want Nintendo to make a new mario baseball game (and not screw it up)! In my opinion, baseball is the best sport out of the 4 main mario sport franchises because of how complex baseball is as a game compared to tennis, soccer, and golf. My favorite game growing up was mario super sluggers, and I still enjoy it to this day! It had a great core gameplay with tons of characters each with their own special strengths and abilities, an amazing story/challenge mode where you explore different ballparks and recruit players to join your team by completing challenges, tons of mini games, and lots of ballparks to play in each with their own special gimmicks. I also owned strikers charged and power tennis, but super sluggers was my favorite out of them all.

    I agree with everything you said in this video except for one thing. The thing about not knowing what’s going on with the ball and keeping track of players and stuff. In my opinion, I don’t think it’s the game. Keeping track of the ball, other players, and your players is what soccer is. There’s a reason why sports teams all wear the same thing as their teammates and it’s to know who’s who. If you’re red and you see red then he’s on your team. And keeping track of the ball and other players is something soccer players do instinctively. I play soccer and it becomes second nature. I know not eveyone plays soccer and I understand why ppl see it as difficult but I just don’t agree that it’s the games fault. Just my opinion tho
