@AtlanteanMan I agree. The first one was amazing. When they tried to monetize everything in the second it fell apart. I highly doubt they will bring anything good at this point. I imagine it will be micro-transaction heavy.
I've been on so many "this is it" moments for Metroid that I don't think this one is going to do anything special for the franchise. I just don't see a modern platformer breaking any new ground for the series. They hyped the ***** out of Other M too, and, uh, that didn't go so well.
If you bought a Switch when they came out and mostly just play on your TV or a TV then you don't need the upgrade. Better battery life doesn't do fuq all for your Switch. I am amazed that NintendoLife would recommend getting this new model if there's nothing wrong with your system. Shame on you NintendoLife. For shame.
"This why i like you. I can get news without clicking on an article. Nintendo life would’ve made this a ten page thesis with a image or Donkey Kong as the preview" - the first twitter reply.
One of the worst Directs in recent memory. Nothing released today. Games are months or a year off. Only a few niche games announced alongside Zelda. Everyone's excited for Metroid...meh. I don't know, this was a dud. Also, that Mario Party game could just be a DLC for the Mario Party we already have. A whole new game? Eat my whole ass Nintendo. D-
This was a missed opportunity of the 3DS. I had a VirtualBoy when they came out. The games were fun, but the headache was real. My eyes would hurt after just about ten minutes of play. They should have released the games on 3DS with it's capabilities. I think they would look like ***** on Switch.
Also, this NFT thing really took off with sports memorabilia collectors. So not the sharpest tools in the shed already. I can't believe Sega and Hasbro think this is a good move. It makes them look ***** stupid.
@Dog I do not care what some historian says we should all believe and feel regarding this stuff. Lovecraft was a blatant racist and even through the lens of history he is a piece of shet.
@Clyde_Radcliffe That is such a stupid response. A good game is one you like. Even if it sucks. Home Alone 2 was fun, I played that too. I played all kinds of games that wouldn't hold my attention now. The Noid comes to mind. I played that ***** forever. But I liked it.
This game was obviously made for children. Hence the man babies crying it's not for them so it's bad.
And yet my 8 year old loves it. He has so many options to choose from, and he loves this game. So do the cousins. I didn't want to buy it because the reviews were coming in on the low end, but he begged me for it and I got it for him. Maybe it's time won't last, but these kids love this game.
I've said it before, and people said I was wrong, but this ***** will eventually be $10, and sooner than later. Flash in the pan gimmick that isn't that fun.
Mitch, I love reading your reviews. When you first started I was like "look at this kid, ok, let's hear him out", but now when I see your name up there I know it's going to be a great review regardless of the score. Good job man.
More than anything, this shows how poorly we pay those workers. That stealing boxes of Pokemon happy meal boxes is ***** worth the risk. I don't blame them.
Final Fantasy without the grind is just a visual novel. The grind is the gameplay loop, and it's fun. It's how you get the gold to get the gear that gets you the girl. It's the meat of the game, and the story and cut scenes are the gravy.
I feel like you don't like RPG's and should just stick to Visual Novels and all their creepiness.
This seems a little half hearted. Like for Super Mario Land, those were the screenshots they felt represented the whole game? They couldn't pick stills from the six different levels or something? It looks like a panorama picture of the first level...
It's their own fault. They never budged on their prices or offered anything to draw people in so they could stay open. Just the same miserable low wage workers keeping it dusty and unwelcoming. Also, and maybe this is just a thing of the past, I never met an employee at one that knew jack ***** about movies.
@EveryoneHere I love how you all want to make his racism passable just so you can enjoy his other writing and lore. Good job people. Just because he lived a long time ago doesn't make it ok. There were plenty of people back then that weren't racist. A lot of people were, but to assume "he lived a long time ago so it's ok" is extremely stupid. He was a vile man, and his work should be shunned along with him.
In his 1912 poem entitled “On the Creation of N*****s,” the gods, having just designed Man and Beast, create blacks in semi-human form to populate the space in between.
H.P. Lovecraft was a terrible racist. His work shouldn't be celebrated or turned into video games or any other medium. He told some cool stories, but he was a terrible person.

Re: Should I Buy A Switch OLED? Which Nintendo Switch Is Best For Me?
I'll go ahead and edit the answer for 2017:
If you bought a Switch when they came out and mostly just play on your TV or a TV then you don't need the upgrade. Better battery life doesn't do fuq all for your Switch.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Tony Hawk Game?
Should retitle your column "...on a Nintendo console". Because the real answer is:
Tony Hawk Pros 1 & 2 on PS2
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1&2 for PS5

Re: The Critically Acclaimed 'Alba: A Wildlife Adventure' Arrives Soon On Switch
My 8 year old loved this game, but it is SHORT. Like short short. Not worth the $20, but it was great in the Apple Arcade suite.
Re: Talking Point: If Nintendo Released Them, Would You Play Virtual Boy Games In 2021?

Re: QubicGames Is Back With Another Ridiculous Switch Sale, 17 Games Discounted To Just $0.17
@FiveDigitLP I did not like it. But I do not begrudge those that did/do.
Re: QubicGames Is Back With Another Ridiculous Switch Sale, 17 Games Discounted To Just $0.17
Bit Trip Core is good as far as Bit Trip games go. It was the only one I found satisfying on the Wii, the rest kind of suck.
One Strike is really good. Lots of fun.
The rest I've either played elsewhere and they suck or they look like they suck so I haven't tried them.

@TijuanaTacoToker When adults complain about a game obviously aimed at kids yeah their opinion doesn't matter at all.
Re: Balan Wonderworld's Free Demo Goes Live Today
My 5 and 8 year old kids are liking the demo A LOT. Target audience might be kids and not 20-30 year old males that live at home.
