Xenoblade Chronicles is my favorite video game of all time. That said, I think Operation Rainfall was just awful. They were trying to get what they wanted by being rude to the people they wanted it from. I’m willing to bet Nintendo released Xenoblade in the Americas in spite of Operation Rainfall, not because of them.
@KBuckley27 Oh shoot, this is my first hearing this. Maybe it's just taking them longer to work on the Switch version so they haven't announced it yet. Maybe they want to do something special since the Switch has more features
The Mac and Linux versions of Tomb Raider 2013 were ported by UK-based Feral Interactive. But regardless, the Tomb Raider franchise was originally created in the UK, so it makes sense that they would want to embrace any and all installments of it regardless of where that specific game was developed.
If a future exists where cloud gaming is the norm then Nintendo's specs will be the same as everybody else's and therefore Nintendo will be objectively the best game company, if they aren't already.
I love that so many great games made the list, including several that are typically overlooked like Dragon Quest VI. That said, it is A-stounding that neither Skyward Sword nor Pokémon GO made the list, and that there’s not a single Wii U game up there.
@Heavyarms55 if I’m not mistaken, Splatoon and Animal Crossing are the same team. That’s part of the reason there has been such a gap since the last Animal Crossing game since they made 2 Splatoon games, and now they’ve stopped major updates for Splatoon 2 with the new Animal Crossing only a few months out
What do you mean first in Japan only then worldwide by the Switch release? Here in North America, we’ve had those controller charts on the back since the GameCube era
@Cotillion Yep, this is the one that has been ruined by somebody who has no respect for historic gaming artifacts. Despite its modifications, it is unfortunately still the only one floating around, so it is still valuable.
@Matroska Just for the record, by unofficial you do mean noncanon, right? They did get permission from the book's author to make the games, didn't they?
@ferroreo I think they are trying to make it like Final Fantasy now, where each numbered entry is a different world with different characters, and some of them have sequels. So Bravely Second is like Bravely Default I-2
It was exciting at first because it was to be the first MMO released on a Nintendo platform in the west. That's not true anymore, so now it's just a Pokémon ripoff
Piranha Plant was announced at a Smash Direct, Joker at the Game Awards, and Hero and Banjo at E3. Then Terry was announced during a Smash Direct. With a minimum 3 remaining, I suspect the next one will be announced at the Game Awards, and the next two at E3.

Re: Super Nintendo World News Is Imminent, Says Universal Japan
This will probably only be for the one in Japan. Still waiting for info on the US version
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2020
@hemonecrophagia Super Mario Sunshine was never released on the Wii U. It remains to this day a Nintendo GameCube exclusive.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2020
Let me see that Kingdom Hearts: The Story so Far. That secret exclusivity deal has to run out soon.
Re: Yacht Club's New Game Cyber Shadow Will Take About "4 To 10 Hours" To Complete

Re: Poll: What Other Wii U Games Do You Want To See On Switch?
I'll take any of them except for that horrifying dead priestesses game.

Re: Random: Pokémon GO Was A Major Hassle For The Canadian Military
Sounds like it wasn't that bad, just law enforcement getting used to new civilian behavior.

Re: Ni no Kuni Anime Movie Arrives On Netflix Later This Month
The original No no Kuni was released on the DS in Japan only. The Switch release was just the first time Nintendo fans outside Japan got to play it.
Re: More Than 40% Of Switch Owners In The US Have Another Video Game System
I heard less than half
Re: GameStop's Internal Database Lists Multiple New SKU For Nintendo Switch
No way. You mean to tell me that a current video game system is going to have new games?
Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade - The Best Games On Nintendo Systems 2010-2019
@Keitoded The original Mario Galaxy was not eligible for the list, as it was released before 2010
Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade - The Best Games On Nintendo Systems 2010-2019

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Contains A Nintendo Switch Controller Image
I haven't seen much about this game but what I have seen has been pretty disturbing. I can't imagine it's very high on the list for Switch fans
Re: Nintendo Shares Colourful Infographic Reflecting On The Past Decade
Could have been a lot more extensive but they definitely hit a lot of the highlights. Glad to see Pokémon GO and Xenoblade Chronicles up there.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Switch Game Of The Year 2019
Astral Chain was published by Nintendo, not Platinum Games. At least, in North America, where the box art depicted is from.
Re: The Pokémon Company Just Released Two New Pokémon Games On Facebook
Meanwhile, in 2009

Re: Random: This Fake Nintendo Switch Comes With 800 Games, But You Won't Want It For Christmas
Crimes like this are jurisdiction of the FBI in the United States. I wouldn’t want to antagonize any law enforcement agency, but especially not them.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Christmas? (Special Edition 2019)
My primary focus is to beat Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! so I can spend the new year playing Pokémon shield.
(And by the new year, I mean like the first two months before Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes out)
Re: Random: Chinese Retailer Tries To Blame Switch Joy-Con Drift On Foreign Games
This seems like an incomplete story. Couldn’t he have just tested it on NSMBUDX and immediately got back to the customer support person?
Re: Nintendo Forced To Offer eShop Game Refund After Russian Court Filing
What do you mean first in Japan only then worldwide by the Switch release? Here in North America, we’ve had those controller charts on the back since the GameCube era
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild And Pokémon GO Feature In TIME's Best Games Of The Decade List
It seems like they tried to list the 10 most popular games rather than the 10 best games. Otherwise PUBG would be on the list instead of Fortnite.
Re: Older Versions Of Football Manager Vanish From Switch eShop As 2020 Launches
It’s not like Sega to do something like this just to force people to buy the new one. Maybe the contracts with all the sports people ran out.
Re: Fatal Fury's Mai Is Receiving Her Very Own "All Ages" Birthday Pop-Up Shop In Japan
What’s all ages about it? She appears to be dressed just as provocatively in the images as always.
Re: Dual Brain Vol.1: Calculation Offers A Cheaper Switch Alternative To Nintendo's Brain Training
Also, the new Brain Age game won’t be coming to North America
Re: Nintendo Releases Free Christmas VR Game For Labo On Switch
That’s unusually denominational of Nintendo. I wouldn’t be surprised if this didn’t make it to the west
Re: Nintendo Switch's Online Activity Leads To Break In Murder Case Mystery
They must have wanted to sell the system. Nintendo fans aren't typically the type to murder people.

@Kienda Just because you don’t defend yourself doesn’t mean others don’t have the right to.
Re: Hundreds Of Fake NES Mini Consoles Seized By Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce In The US
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. Law enforcement did a great job here
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Taking Legal Action Against Sword And Shield Leakers
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. I hope these people get what they deserve.
Re: Bravely Default II Is Coming Exclusively To Nintendo Switch Next Year
@ferroreo I think they are trying to make it like Final Fantasy now, where each numbered entry is a different world with different characters, and some of them have sequels. So Bravely Second is like Bravely Default I-2
Re: Random: Upset By eShop Discoverability Issues? Spare A Thought For Chinese Switch Owners
Not surprised to learn that other companies are reluctant to do business in a communist nation.
Re: Looks Like Fortnite's Annual Battle Pass Won't Be Launching After All
This is why it is so wrong to data mine. That information isn’t meant for your eyes, and it’s certainly not meant for the public.
Re: New Images Go Behind-The-Scenes Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2's Trailer
Motion capture? Is that new for the series?
