Nintendo looking for ideas for Mario Kart 9:
WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!

Beast Quest is not really a rich source of inspiration. As a kid I read a lot of Beast Quest, but the series was primarily designed as a way to get young readers to but as many books as possible. As far as I remember there was over 40 books in the series, a number which made it impossible to focus on creating quality books. As much as I read the series as a kid, I always recognized books by Roald Dahl, JK Rowling and to a lesser extent the early wimpy kid books all had better writing.

@RareFan To be fair Sonic's time in the spotlight was mostly because of how terrible the design is. I'd say Rick and Morty was already getting more popular, and the memes behind it exploded because everybody was already watching the show and understood the references. Same with Avengers, that film was the highest grossing film of all time and that helped the success of the movie's memes.
Also I'd like to point out that aside from a small pocket of people in the internet, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who watches My Little Pony (unless it's someone's younger sibling). It's really not as popular as you may think it is.

@Heavyarms55 Either way he's an idiot.

Well I guess you can fight against batman with your marvel skins now. Looks like there is a newest most ambitious crossover (pretending smash doesn't exist atm)

@Alucard83 It's kind of a flaw of these big review sites. You see the review as written by a website, not by an individual with specific tastes. I you want to get an idea of who has similar interests to you, it might make more sense to see what the staff is playing every weekend rather than taking their reviews into account.

@aznable Honestly that's is just common for Nintendolife reviews. No matter how good the game is, if it isn't developed exclusively by Nintendo, any of the companies they own, or a company they've partnered with, then the maximum score the game will ever receive is a nine. I've noticed this with plenty of amazing indie experiences that many believe are a lot more memorable and enjoyable than a Nintendo developed game (e.g Splatoon 2). It's an annoying fact but it shouldn't take away from how much you enjoy a game, especially since opinions (including mine) can be very subjective

Xbox? That's some kind of emulator right?

They didn't need a detective to see that this would've failed

It was only a few years ago that Cartoon Network was actually good

I am so glad that this corporation in which I never worked in, nor do I get any financial compensation from is doing better than the other corporations doing the exact same thing

Can't wait for the fortnite physical release

It's because they're not called Game Freak

@legendcoworker The Witcher 3 is much more appropriate for your age

@Vectorman Hahaha yeah

@Vectorman My autocorrect is really bad. I meant to say typo

@Vectorman It was a typical. I meant to say realized

Many people like Etika are driven to end their life as they feel that they have no other way to rid themselves of the pain. The thing is that suicide is never a last resort. It can be hard, but if you keep trudging along with your life, and aim to be a better version of yourself, things can change for the better. Don't spend your time regretting the past. There's nothing that can be changed about it. Instead look at the past with open eyes, and learn from it. That's the only way we can live better lives

What a crazy past 5 years he must've had

@Bunkerneath Hahaha sorry my eyes jumped to conclusions. I'd still say that you shouldn't drop a game in 30 minutes, but I haven't played the other games and they might not be that great for all I know

@harouhiko Rockstar has been criticized for its heavy crunch culture before though

@Bunkerneath There's a lot of games which I didn't like or got bored with in the first couple of hours (e.g. Super Mario Odyssey) but ended up loving after spending more time to understand the mechanics and the game's appeal. To be fair it's not hard to move on in this day and age due to the large amount of backlogs everybody seems to have, but I do think you should at least stick with Hollow Knight for a decent amount of time. The game gets better the more you play

@rushiosan Worst ideas? Are you blind? That Tingle costume could easily justify the price of three whole games

I feel like everybody here replying to @nintendolie hasn't realized their username

Only place where you can find hundreds of middle-aged men screaming over a cartoon bear and bird

@Anti-Matter Honestly man, you're consistently my favourite part of the nintendolife comment section

Give us Creature from the Krusty Krab next

Whoever calls their child Hop deserves to be given federal punishment

@Citano Yeah. Not a day went by where I didn't see Theresa May walking around in a football jersey and a baseball cap. Makes total sense

@Vepra Every game is just a copy of Dark souls
Also traffic cone looks sick

@marck13 Me too. I honestly just want something in the awesome Black and White style

Pokemon slim doggy and big doggy

@Tandoori That was the bloodborne of 2d platformers

@Elithal I think Nintendo games generally have 100 dollar or less collector editions, while 3rd parties like Bethesda and Ubisoft would have the more expensive ones.

The dark souls of 2d platformers

Kind of looks like every unoriginal anime ever

@nessisonett Ah ok. Thanks for the advice!

@Elithal Lots of games these days get 200 dollar collectors edition. Death Stranding had one announced on Wednesday where you get a figure of a baby inside a weird capsule, and some other things as well.

@nessisonett What's 2e

@AtlanteanMan The content can be gotten at any time in the game, it was just added in celebration of this event. The event itself make the spirits appear more often in an effort to encourage people who aren't bothered to wait in spirits mode to log into the game. That said I totally agree with what you said. However timed events can also make games feel more special (e.g. memories of specific splatfests etc.) It does suck when you cant experience it because you're busy though, so I understand that

I was searching for the release date just yesterday. I guess some hacker is looking out for me

While they sailed the aesthetic, the character design and writing are the most important things to have. If not then there's no point in getting this.

@Angelic_Lapras_King Oh yes, but if you forget to do anything, it turns into minus and electric shocks you

The Pokemon Company in 2020: We have developed an app called Pokemon Live. It will tell you what you are supposed to be doing at all times. Stomach levels lowering? Notification to eat! Funny joke said among friends? Notification to laugh! Pokemon Live will live your life for you! Also Pokemon have something to do with it... I think...

@Agramonte They didn't bother changing that?

@Mamabear Will do. May be months down the line though, but I'll keep it in mind

@Mamabear Yeah Star Allies looks pretty underwhelming. Nowadays I don't spend as much money on games, so I make sure the games that I try are high quality. Thanks for your advice btw!

@Mamabear So is it as good as something like paper mario

@Agramonte If you say something in public, you have to be prepared for the public to speak back, especially if you're opinion doesn't apply to many of the people reading it.

Save states should be used sparingly. Years ago I hated Sonic 1 and I kept dying and using save states. Years later I replayed the game without the save states, and built up skill in the game to finish it (the game wasn't even that hard). Beating it without external help was satisfying. Adventure games suck at this though. The puzzles are obscure as hell, and cant be solved on their own without help from a walkthrough. Thimbleweed park had some dumb puzzle where you had to follow somebody through a forest. The way to do this was to click on some random trophy in a characters room, decide, yeah maybe I should fill it up with the NUCLEAR WASTE then pour it into a puddle, so that when they walked through the forest they would leave chemical footprints that literally glow. Not only was this puzzle hard to figure by yourself, you end up damaging the person you are following's health, as well as the health of the forest and its wildlife. If you need a guide to enjoy a game, that isn't your fault, that's just bad game design.
