Reading that pains me. So much detail put into that write up and it’s probably false. Yet knowing this I still get excited only to be disappointed

Decent purchase, although I'd recommend Super Mario World over Super Mario Bros. But that's just my childhood bias speaking

Fixed, 3D World is only for the Wii-U........3D Land is the 3DS/2DS handheld version

I just want the Naruto to Boruto mmo joint to drop on switch. The DBZ fighter would be clutch too.
I picked up Splatoon 2 Sunday, aven;t even touched Zelda since. Love it alot, but keeping a stable internet connection is the key.

That new Naruto/Boruto game looks like "Dragonball Xenoverse" done right IMO.
DB Xenoverse (both of those games) aren't bad as a whole, but the fighting mechanics for both games is absolutely lackluster and felt very stiff. Compared to the new DB FighterZ that is coming out, Xenoverse's fighting gameplay just flat out sucks......and the MMO aspect of it is the only thing that prevents it from being a bad game (once again, it applies to both X1 and X2).
The fighting gameplay mechanics in the Naruto/Boruto Shinobi Striker game looks really good, hell of a lot better of the stiff gameplay of the 2 Xenoverses IMO

Totally agree with your points.
I have messed with DBZ and though fun, it didn't hold my attention. Probably because I am much more attached to the Naruto franchise as a whole.
The big selling point to me for the Naruto game is not only the MMO aspect but the sqaud based tactics. I saw it and immediately though "this has to come to switch" lol.
if not I will definitely be a bit let down.
