Well, not a fan of TMNT games especially the retro games.
Glad I already got good news from My Little Pony that will be released on multi consoles including PS4 & Switch version.

Yay, The DioField Chronicle already has an official site with links to Steam....

I don't think I've ever been as jebaited as I was when that Exoprimal trailer came on. HOW ON EARTH WAS THAT NOT DINO CRISIS.

The velociraptors literally falling from the sky was hilarious though.

Hold on just one minute. A tmnt collection of retro classics and its not coming to switch? What the hell is going on here?!

Just downloaded the game trial for Monster Hunter Rise. Though I've been having a hard time getting into the MH series, I thought I'd give this one a shot anyway since it's free for a week. It was actually really cool of them to let us download it ahead of time.

@Sunsy Yeah, that part got easier for me as well. I only had trouble with it as a kid. It really is like looking at a time capsule, seeing all that news coverage about then-upcoming games and what writers thought about them at the time.

Thanks! I talked with my friend for a bit, turns out they have Super Mario Party, not Superstars. Which is fine with me, as I have that game as well. Should still be a good time. I was thinking of playing Super Mario Bros. 3 as well.

Went and saw The Batman yesterday evening. I thought it was a pretty decent movie, though I admit a three hour runtime is a bit long for me lol. I liked its take on the Bat-verse, though I slightly prefer Christian Bale over Pattinson.

@Sunsy Hopefully there's a compilation of those games that is released on Nintendo systems before long? The Switch is a great port machine; I've been using it to pick up some titles I've missed previously. CoughSkyrimCough

@BruceCM Depends on how well the GPU market stabilizes over the next few months lol. I have a large house-related purchase looming on the horizon too.

@MarioLover92 I believe I picked up Ducktales: Remastered when it was on discount at some point, though I don't recall if that was through My Nintendo or in a general sale. I bought it mainly for nostalgia reasons - never played the original NES game though - and ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. I played through Metroid Prime Trilogy over the span of several months with a break between each game. MP3: Corruption is narrowly my favorite of the three, followed close behind by MP1 with MP2: Echoes bringing up the rear. All are very good games.

@Tyranexx That's awesome to hear, it's great to see games that exceed your expectations. I had a similar experience with Breath of the Wild. I wasn't thinking that I'd be super into it, yet here we are, and I already sunk over 100 hours into it, lol! Speaking of Metroid Prime, at least with the first game, I wasn't too big into the game when I first played it, then I came back to it much later and really enjoyed my time. It's pretty amazing how our tastes in games can evolve just like that.

Edit: It's midnight over here, so...

Happy Mario Day to all my Nintendo Life pals!

Yeah... I've been absent too. Unfortunately Gran Turismo 7 arrived just as I was in the middle of binging Final Fantasy XV. So I've had to juggle those two for a few days, plus hustle my aching corpse downstairs for meals in the meantime! I've been working on other covers too, including stuff I started months ago but never got to finish.

I also saw The Batman on Monday, and I've got to say, it's one of the best superhero films I've seen. There's a few little issues here and there, like how long it is, but it doesn't take much shine off of what is a really well made, well shot movie with a mostly great cast of characters, and well thought out casting choices. Robert Pattinson makes a great Batman, though I believe his Bruce Wayne alter ego is tied so close to his Batman persona that there's almost no difference. Bruce feels like Batman out of the suit, not a man of immense wealth...

Edit: Happy MAR10 day to everyone! I know you'll be particularly excited @MarioLover92!!

Yeah, uh, I think the chip shortage is projected to last into next year, @Tyranexx .... So you'll probably be waiting until then, sadly!

@MarioLover92 Happy MAR10 Day to you as well! In commemoration, I think I'll finally finish Mario Bros 3 today (it's my favourite 2D Mario yet I've never actually beaten it, I need to go change that).

@Rambler I thought that "Genesis" is waaay cooler than "Mega Drive" but that is what we got in EU I also liked the US version of the SNES.

I saw a guy wearing Gucci clothes and using Louis Vuitton carry on luggage.

I wonder if they’re real. And if so why is he on economy class.

@Eel They could be replicas

But they might be real because I have seen people(hippies), during my glorious 1 month experience in retail electronics, to apply for a loan to buy the newest iPhone. So you never know how stupid can people be in their pursuit of owning branded items

@MarioLover92 You too, and to Charles Mar10net!

Happy Mario day.

@Eel
Honestly I don’t see the appeal of Gucci. They look ugly to me.

Coming from a guy who wears a hoodie and jeans every day.

@blindsquarel Same here honestly. I think it's more of a status symbol than anything (and even then, my sisters prefer Supreme for that kind of message). I wouldn't know the first thing about fashion mind you: I pick whatever I see first in my wardrobe and that does me grand. Give me a football jersey and that's all I need to wear for the next year, give or take.

Heh, where's our resident Peach fan ....? Apparently, that's the next Lego set from Nintendo for anyone who might like that

This is fashion, darling.

@blindsquarel @lolwhatno oh trust me the whole get up looked super gaudy. Like… “Stay at home and eat Cheetos” wear, but with brands.

At least the little suitcase was kinda cute, though I suspect at least that part was a replica.
