How do you feel about the new Mario Kart 8 deluxe labo compatibility? Will this continue in other games as more games and toy-con are released, or become forgetable as smash takes all the attention? What other ideas do you have for this? How about a sword and sheild kit with a legend of zelda combat game? Or an an arm cannon for Metroid prime 4? Labo in cardboard Yoshi? Maybe pokemon snap deluxe with labo camera? So many possibilities but yet chance of failure.

is it in someway possible to see if you have shipped out The Magazine or is it just a suprice in the mailbox :D ?

With so many ports coming to the switch, which titles do you think would benefit from coming to the system? Personally, i would like to see a No More Heroes double pack. With Travis Strikes Again due for release this year, i think it would give the series a potential new audience, the Joy Con would be great to play them with and having them on the go would be great.

Hi, Could you please tell me when i ll receive the physical magazine no 32 because i have been debited on my credit card but Nobody of THE TEAM answer to me after Many Emails??? TX

If Spawny the Rabbid (from Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle) used his powers to merge you with something, what would you be merged with, and what powers would you gain from the merging?

This question brings back some fond memories of playing ST! Hope you get picked.

How do you think that the change from free online play to paid will change the way people play?

Charles Penn

Hi Ox, with excellent retro collections like SNK 40th Anniversary Collection and Sega Ages coming to the Switch should we really worry about not having an official Virtual Console available on the Switch yet?

How will the new Super Smash Bros. game for Switch differentiate itself from previous iterations? More new characters? An expanded competitive online mode? An improved single-player campaign? I'm looking forward to this being more than just a slight improvement on the Wii U version.

Hoi! Ok, Nintendo has been patening a lot of gimmickie things such as some amiibo trading cards, portable interacting screens, and such. What gimmick would you like Nintendo to make?

Majora

How Should I buy Games? Digital or Physical?

Now that we have all sorts of different amiibo, from the standard plastic figurines to the soft plushy Yoshi dolls to even the squishy Metroid, what sort of amiibo should they make next?

Salty

So I hear outside of US it is more common to Download games than purchase physical copy?

Why and what happened to the instruction booklet that use to come with games?

If you are getting Nintendo Labo, what things will you create using the Toy-Con Garage? If not, what crazy contraption do you think the Fans will create?

Hey ox, do you think samus returns will get a switch port?

E3 is right around the corner and many rumors are cropping up about possible new Nintendo games, ports and remasters, and more third party support. What do you think will be announced at E3 this summer? I'm still holding out for a new F-Zero game and an announcement of Dragon Ball FighterZ and Fallout 4 coming to Switch.

Hey, Ox! Here's my question. What if the Super Mario Movie by Illumination turns out to be the Batman V. Superman or The Last Jedi of animated films, as in people are extremely divided about it? What side would you be on?

OX! How goes it? I am curious. Do you think that with the popularity of the switch we will see a drive for Nintendo to revive IP's that may be on the down swing or out of the spotlight? Will we ever see another Custom Robo, Chibi Robo or even a Pikmin 4?

Olly Olly Oxenfree!!!!! Hey Ox, What is your oppinion on Nintendo releasing game builds for custom levels. It worked great with Super Mario Maker. Why not Legend of Zelda etc?

Howdy Ox! Do you think Nintendo will follow industry trends with their paid online service and either start offering free games or have any paid access to a catalog of games?

Hi Ox, I just hopped on board last month with Nintendo Force magazine and am pretty excited to see what this magazine has to offer with the upcoming issue! My question is this: what do you think the odds are that Nintendo will ever dig deep into the back catalogue and give us a Star Tropics 3? I voted for Mike as a DLC character back when Nintendo ran the SMB character poll in an attempt to get even a dash of that ST magic back (and get a new generation curious about where the character came from and a new series to discover all over again). Again, I'm excited to see what the magazine has to offer, and thanks for helping fill the void that NP left. Cheers!

Hey Ox, what are the chances you think a Switch Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter will show up?

Hey Ox, There are a ton of licensed Nintendo figures out there now. What's the missing character you would most like to see show up on store shelves next?

OMG....I didn't realize how much I would appreciate Nester back til I read this..

Craig Gunter

There are lots of ports from Wii U either out or coming to the Switch. What are the chances Wonderful 101 ever makes it to Switch. I bought and just never got to it and I'm out of HDMI ports on my tv so I don't really wanna hook the Wii U back up.

Craig Gunter

Also are we getting a poster this time around?

If you had to choose any great game on the Wii U that didn't get much of a spotlight ported to the Switch, what would it be?

With the return of Smash Bros for the Switch, which new character would you most likely want to see in it?

Hey Ox, what would you like to see from a brand new mid tier Nintendo game? Maybe something like Pokemon Snap Switch or Luigi's Mansion 3?

Could we get Nester back? Or a new character Switchster? Or both!

Ox, if you could copy any two super powers/abilities, like Kirby, what super powers would you choose?

Dear Ox, Highly unlikely, but if Nintendo ever decides to make a Super Mario Galaxy 3, what would be a cool galaxy to be added? (The name and level design)

Dear Ox, What would be three new switch characters you would want to add to the new smash bros?

Hey ox, thinking back to Splatoon and Splatoon 2, what would be a Splatfest that you would make?

Ox, surely you're a motion control aficionado. What training regime are you following to ensure you're in peak physical condition for the Mario Tennis Aces release ?

Hey Ox, now that we'll be paying for Nintendo's online do you think we'll finally get a Smash Bros that is playable online ... without ... lag ?

With Funimation wanting Goku to be put in the game, who would you want in the next Smash Bros. from other medias? Anyone who is not originally from a video game.

Vegas

That Smash Bros on the Switch...what do you think? Is it a brand-spanking new game, or a "Deluxe" port from the Wii U? There's already so much evidence going either direction!

Hey Ox, supposing Mario is Odyssey Mario in Smash 5, what moveset do you think he, BotW Link, or the Inklings will have?

How do you feel about the vast majority of Switch games being ported over from the Wii U or other consoles? It doesn't personally bother me but how do you feel about double dipping of games you may already own?

With Street Fighter, Megaman, and SNK getting anniversary collections for the Switch, what series should also get a collection?

Was there ever an announcement that you thought would anger you at first, but as they revealed more and more, you gradually became happy instead?

Hey Ox, what do you think about the Japanese eShop exclusive games? Now that Nintendo’s taken a more adult-friendly stance, is it fair that some games only show up on Japan’s eShop?

[Seeing lots of people talk about the new Smash Bros. got me thinking about other series that have not been brought back recently] Hey Ox, is it safe to say that the Wario Land series is dead and that Microgames (such as the recently announced WarioWare Gold) are his only future? I would love to play a new Wario Land game!

When smash bros gets released what do you think the new comers will be included and what veterans do you think will return?

Hey Ox, with the release of payed DLC for Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2... Do you think that at some point we might get DLC for Super Mario Odyssey?

Ox, with the upcoming release of Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors, Switch fans have been saying that the Switch becoming home of the ports. Since, I have not played the Wii U version, i am excited and welcoming of them. However, how long do you see Nintendo riding the wave of bringing ports to the Switch to the point of releasing more exclusive originals?

Adan Rivera

Any ideas of characters you think (not want) will be in the next Smash Bros. game? Maybe Reggie Fils-a-Mech?

Hey, Ox. I'm of the opinion that the next Super Smash Bros. game is a good opportunity to refresh the roster. Therefore, I think it's high time to leave out some old time favorites (ex. Roy, Mewtwo, etc) to make room for new characters. What are your thoughts on this?

Matthew Macomber

What would you like to see in a potential redesign of the Nintendo Switch in the years to come? Similar to all the different models we have in the 3DS family there seems to be potential for a Switch family of designs and specifications for different types of Nintendo fans.

Arlo made a great video on this very subject called "The amiibo problem".

Is there any Wii Ware EXCLUSIVE games you missed out on, Like Gradius Rebirth, Star Soldier R, Mr. Diller W, etc. Do you think since Nintendo shut down ability to add points to Wii shop, these gems will be lost in digital limbo forever?! Also...Chibi Robo 4 SB!!!

Erik DeWitt

I agree with this man!!! My precious Bayonetta with BOTH discs, MK8, Capt Toad, Hyrule Warriors, DK Tropical Freeze, list goes on and onnnn, What a waste, they're only a few years old.

Erik DeWitt

Should the character from Stardew Valley be in Smash? They could be like the Animal Crossing Villager with multiple tools and variations on design.

Andrew Wiley

What are the odds we're going to start seeing 3rd party Labo accessories?

Samson Wick

Hey Ox! What do you think of the Nintendo Power Toenail Clipping ad? Personally, I think it’s disgusting.

That would really suck if spyro trilogy wouldn't come to the switch. Do you think it will? If it is why are they not announcing it yet?

NewWorldOrca

I, like everybody, am hyped up for the new Smash and what it will have to offer! What do you want and expect from this new game?

I keep hearing that third-party docks are rendering Switch machines inert. If that is the case, I am curious to know exactly which ones are doing so. I have the Nyko Portable one, and it seems to have worked well for me for 4 months or so.

Ox, it looks like all the money I spent on Wii U games was in vain, because they're re-releasing all of the games for Switch! What is your opinion on Nintendo releasing all of the Wii U games over again with a tiny bit of DLC added on?

Would you recommend third party support controllers for the replacement of the original controllers from 90s and 2000s?

Waluigi playable in Smash when?

NetOperator Wibby

With the Switch's success going rather powerfully, how long do you expect Nintendo to continue to support the 3DS? I love the thing and its a great little console, but it can't last forever, right?

Matthew The Dark

Hey Ox, what are some long forgotten games you would like to see revived? Personally I would love to see a sequel, or port of the Gamecube game Geist!

REGGIE SAYS I CAN'T HAVE STYLE SAVVY 4 OR RHYTHM HEAVEN 4 IN A BOX! BUT SHIBATA MADE PHYSICAL VERSIONS OF BOTH! WHY IS EUROPE SUDDENLY THE GOOD PLACE FOR VIDEO GAMES!

If Nintendo were to release a more powerful iteration of the Switch, do you expect it to be handled better than the 3DS/NEW3DS transition? Hyrule Warriors Legends didn't run particularly well on the launch 3DS, while Xenoblade could only be played on the new hardware. Comparatively, Microsoft's and Sony's updated consoles seem to have been better implemented.

Christopher Cobb

What do you think is the future for the 3DS family of handhelds? Nintendo is releasing games for it all of this year but the Switch is obviously the star attraction for Nintendo. Will support to the 3DS be gradually cut off or could Nintendo continue to release titles for the system albeit at a slower rate?

do you see nintendo making a switch lite aimed at kids more of stripped down version or a switch XL with bigger screen and a larger capacity battery?

There seems to be talk of Nintendo holding off on big titles that include online play until their online service is up and running. I've heard rumors of a sequel to Super Mario Maker being in such title (which would make sense, since the original was online enabled in a BIG way). What are your thoughts? Have you heard anything on their online service that would confirm this?

How do you feel about 3rd party support at this moment? Many companies have pledged support and are offering ports, albeit delayed, but here in Switch Year Two: Spyro: "No Switch comments"; Dragon Quest XI: "Switch version 'coming much later'; Dragonball FighterZ: "Xenoverse2 sold really well on Switch, no comment"; Soul Calibur VI: "Game was in development before Switch existence, no other comments" I do like the ports we're getting, plus the Switch is getting great exclusives, like Octopath Traveler, but when do 3rd parties take the support to the next level, day and date for Switch for big guns along the likes of Kingdom Hearts 3, etc?

What is your hope for Nintendo at E3? And why is it not Super Smash Brothers?

Are you getting tired of 8-bit indie games? It seems like that graphic style is becoming a crutch, especially for platformers.

Have you joined the Nintendo Switch Physical Game Collectors group? <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/nspgc/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/nspgc/</a>

Who did you main in Super Smash Bros. Melee? My Dr. Mario will wipe you out ethier way!

BlazingVictini

What do you think the next great peripheral will be (labo-esque / power glove / etc.)?

If you were stranded on an island with electricity, which Nintendo system would you want to have with you?

Cole Durrett

Now that VR is mainstream... the reboot of the Virtual Boy: Great Idea, or The Greatest Idea?

Curious as to what your thoughts and must haves are for the paid Online Subscription. Do you foresee this being the implementation of a chat feature?

Do you think we will ever get a sequel to Links crossbow shooting? They could even remake it into Links chicken toss. The possibilities are endless.

With rumors of Pokemon Switch, New Switch Models, and other such going around... What's one piece of Nintendo rumor you WANT going around? Kind of like a wish you want everyone to talk about. Switch lite? New F-Zero? Amiibo Adventures?

What's your stance on Nintendo remaking Mario &amp; Luigi Bowser's Inside Story as opposed to Partners in Time?

Owen McMillan

Does it seem like there’s more ports for the Nintendo Switch then there are original games? Or is it just me? I’m beginning to wonder why I bought this system just to play games that I can basically already play on earlier systems. I just really hope Nintendo is not dropping the ball on this like they have done in the past.

If Nintendo does release the Nintendo 64 Classic, what games do you think it should include?

What do you think of this: Labo VR

With all these WiiU ports coming to the Nintendo Switch, many newcomers will discover what they missed on the WiiU. But if you already played those games before, why can't we have a discount or at least, a way to transfer our savefiles. Yes I want to play the definitive versions, but I don't want to level up all my characters to level 255 in Hyrule Warriors again! It's a real pain. My WiiU version of Mario Kart 8 is 100% completed. In the Deluxe version, they put a real battle mode not available on Wiiu, so I bought the game once again and had to redo all the job again! What is your feeling when you know you have to do all the hard work for a second time?

When Nintendo starts to make virtual reality games, which series do you most look forward to and why is it Metroid?

What would be your dream creation for The Nintendo Labo ?

What are the Nintendo Switch games you looking forward to the most this year? What unannounced Nintendo franchises do you think deserve to be on the Nintendo Switch?

With rumors abound of third party charging docks and peripherals causing Nintendo Switch systems to "Brick" and become non-functional, it seems like a hardware revision could be in the works to help address the USB-C compliance issues being noted as the potential cause. How soon do you think a new version of the Switch might happen? Do you think a revision could be released for the 2018 holiday season, or sometime in 2019 perhaps?

We're going to see how this first batch goes and then go from there! Hopefully it'll be a pretty regular thing going forward.

The Nintendo Force

He's welcome to! So far he's only had enough time in his schedule to contribute the Headcanon for each new issue, but I'll poke him to see if he wants to take on a review next time too. :)

The Nintendo Force

With the upcoming release of Nintendo Labo, what other wacky accessories do you think they will come up with next for the Switch? Possibly a WiiU-like screen attachment for the Joy Cons, that could allow for second screen play?

Does Nintendo ever intend to create cross-compatibility between the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo DS systems, allowing for playability between the systems?

Nintendo recently announced it's new Bezel Engine for 3rd party devs. Will this endanger the eShop of being flooded with amateur games, or an easier way for brilliant creations to be shared with the world? How will this be used in conjunction with Labo?

If Nintendo tapped in to the virtual reality market, what would be the Nintendo franchise you'd want to play in VR most?

Is there any more wii u games that should be ported over to the switch?

What are you thoughts on the recent Nintendo eShop gold coin redemption changes? What are your hopes or expectations for the Switch online service once it arrives?

Hi Team, Do you think there will be a Nintendo Switch Slim?

How far out could you see a switch redesign coming, also what do you think smash bros themed joycons would look like?

What spin-off Mario title would you like to see next? Mario Pool? Mario Jousting? Or perhaps something even wackier?

Christian S

Will Nintendo Force ever have a section of blast from the past on the forgotten console's that others do not know about? Examples Color tv Game series console's, Computer tv game console, I Que console, 64 DD, or famicom disk system. Just to name a few. There is many more out there as well. Or even game watches that you wear and play or nintendo pocket games. That way other enthusiasts can learn history on console's that got nintendo started or other console's that were made but not known. Knowledge is power. May the force guide you!

Along the lines of exclusive limited games. What manufacturers are out there produ-ing these games. Ex limited run and a little about these companies so we can keep an eye out.

If you could design a Nintendo Labo product and game, what would it be?

MrT

What underrepresented genres or games would you love to see on the Switch in the near future?

Do you think the future of amiibo is bright. Amiibo features seem to be getting less and less exciting and they just keep making new ones instead of continuing support on the mass of them that already exist.

Gheor Rug Huirg

Considering the portability of the Switch, do you think that Nintendo will begin to release 3DS ports to the Switch (Luigi's Mansion etc...) or will they keep these games as 3DS exclusives to lengthen the life of the device?

CAMBOT

Do you believe some Video Games are too violent and lead to violence in America today?

With crash and spyro it's worth remembering that both went multiplatform after their initial PS1 series, with both getting games exclusive to Nintendo systems. It's exciting that we're getting these trilogies, but it would be surprising to get remakes of 3rd party games with no existing exposure on a Nintendo platform.

In legend of Zelda, Zelda is the person freeing that girl right?

The hype train for a lot of games have left their stations recently: Smash, Splatoon, Mario Tennis, Dark Souls, ect. With all that hype comes a lot pf1 negative things too: baseless rumors, band wagoning, elitism, ect. What is your least favorite part about hype culture in the video game industry? What is your favorite?

With Luigi's mansion getting remade on the 3ds, what do you think the likelihood is that future support for the platform is based on lighter GameCube and n64 titles. If you think chances are high, what titles would you like to see make a return?

Will the Everybody Votes channel come back!?

Zagreus

As a teacher, I found myself very intrigued with the upcoming Nintendo Labo products as a teaching tool. What are your thoughts on the Nintendo Switch as an educational device? Imagine constructing robots in Physical Science class or building a Piano in Band...

What are the plans for future Limited Run Games card releases with the physical magazine?

With Crash and possibly Spyro on the horizon, is there any classic title that hasn't been on a Nintendo system before you'd like to see remade and come over? -Luxe

Leo Once3333

If they made an Ice Climbers: Uprising I would buy it in a heart beat.

Kevin Bowyer

Do you believe 3rd parties are artificially delaying Switch versions of their games to try and get a “double dip” from owners of multiple consoles? I’m not saying it’s necessarily an evil practice, when the Switch release comes bundled with previous DLC for example.

Kevin Bowyer

Hey have you seen those Wii theme memes recently? What are your thoughts on them? (I submit this because it pisses me off that people keep calling the Mii channel theme the Wii theme; IT IS NOT! The Wii theme is the ambient music that plays on the WII MENU, not in the MII CHANNEL! SO STOP CALLING IT THE WII THEME CALL IT THE MII THEME OR MII CHANNEL THEME)

Any chance we see a port or a sequel for bubble bobble? That game lost me hours in my teens. Would be fun with the joy cons

With the clamoring for every popular Wii U game to be ported to the switch, which under the radar release would you like to see get ported?

I know that during the Pokemon Switch announcement at E3 2017, they stated that they are making a "traditional Pokemon RPG" for the Switch. I think a lot of people have high expectations for the wheel to be re-invented since Mario and Zelda Switch entries have been revolutionary in their own right. Do you think that Pokemon Switch will basically be a better looking 3ds game? If major changes were to be made, what would YOU like to see?

Brian Irizarry

The Ice Climbers have never got a follow-up game like Kid Icarus did and I was wondering, what would you think a modern day Ice Climbers game would look like?

Will Arlo ever be included in the issue’s reviews?
