I'm glad to see Nintendo Life pointing out that not everyone has the financial means to purchase the latest hardware and having free online on 3DS and Wii U shut down really hurts those people.
There is too little time in the day to spend too much time being frustrated at one part of a game. I have no problem using save states and rewind to progress.
Metroid Prime 4, Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi Brothership, and Super Mario Party Jamboree on the first party front and Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, Ace Attorney Investigations, and Dragon Quest HD-2D remakes on the third party front made it a great presentation for me.
Doesn't look the best. A better Bleach game should be made now that Bleach is back in the spotlight with the anime adaptation of The Thousand Year Blood War.
I would love a 3D Mario Maker, but I'd also be happy to see another 2D entry since we still have so many missing features in 2D like placeable water, lava, and poison tiles, diagonal pipes, and tons of enemies plus themes like mountain and beach.

Re: Digital Foundry Hails Luigi's Mansion 3 As The Best-Looking Exclusive Switch Game
Super Mario Odyssey and Luigi's Mansion 3 are my picks for best looking Switch games.
Re: Nintendo Japan Reveals New Splatoon 3 Merch For September's 'Grand Festival' Splatfest
Looks like this is the final Splatfest given all the fanfare. Past or future are the more interesting choices.
Re: Random: "Let Them Play, First Thing!" - Sakurai Is Tired Of Slow Game Openings
This is why I prefer Ocarina of Time to Twilight Princess, for example. You can get into the gameplay so much sooner.
Re: Mini Review: Toree's Panic Pack (Switch) - A Third Pop Of 99¢ Platforming Pleasure
The Toree games are consistently good for a great price.
Re: Talking Point: Could Ganondorf Ever Be The Star Of A Zelda Game?
The proposed Metroidvania idea seems promising though it might be too different from the kind of game Zelda is.
Re: Review: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch) - Speed-Focused And Slight, But Addictive
This is nowhere near as interesting as NES Remix to me, but it's an eventual buy.
Re: 'Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club' Launches On Switch Next Month
Is this the longest ever gap between a new installment in a Nintendo franchise ever? Regardless, glad to see more Famicom Detective Club.
Re: Review: Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition (Switch) - Returns For Another Pass With A Top-Flight Port
The Ace Combat on 3DS was my first exposure to the franchise, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, so I'll be picking this up eventually.
Re: Mailbox: eShop Closures, Comedy, The Physical Future - Nintendo Life Letters
I'm glad to see Nintendo Life pointing out that not everyone has the financial means to purchase the latest hardware and having free online on 3DS and Wii U shut down really hurts those people.
Re: Soapbox: Metroid’s Mother Brain And The Rewind Dilemma
There is too little time in the day to spend too much time being frustrated at one part of a game. I have no problem using save states and rewind to progress.
Re: Random: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Overtakes NES Lifetime Sales
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a force of nature.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Disturbing 'Emio' Teaser, And Fans Are Baffled
I'm potentially intrigued. It's been a while since Nintendo dipped its toes into M rated territory, I believe since Devil's Third.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Was Nintendo's "Best-Selling" Switch Game In May 2024 (US)
Great news for Paper Mario, and the Switch decline isn't terrible by any means given the age of the hardware.
Re: Feature: 54 Switch Ports We'd Love To See Before The Generation's Out
Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Disney Afternoon Collection, Jet Set Radio, Madworld, and Pizza Tower make a lot of sense and could still happen.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Box Art Has Been Officially Revealed For Switch
Mario & Luigi games have always had rather plain cover arts so this is par for the course.
Re: Nintendo Live Suspect Admits To Threats, Blames Being A Sore Loser
Some people need to learn that if they need to spew crap, they should do so into a toilet, not by threatening others.
Re: Review: Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition (Switch) - Beyond Good, Still
This is a game that passed me by back in thd day so I'll happily play it now, but I'll pick it up for Xbox instead to play at 60 FPS.
Re: Aspyr Is Bringing Another Classic Star Wars Game To Switch This August
This is a great game. Very happy to see it come to modern systems.
Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Switch Physical Won't Require A Download
That's fantastic news.
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential
I really enjoy Dark Moon's variety, but I'm in no rush to replay it at the moment. This is in my pick up eventually pile.
Re: Feature: 25 Things You Might Have Missed In The Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Reveal Trailer
Having both Zora types in one Zelda game is huge.
Also, good catch on the old lady likely being Impa.
Re: Best First-Party Wii U Games
This list seems incomplete. But I guess you're not listing second party games so no Kirby or Xenoblade.
Re: Reaction: A Direct That Delivered, And Shows That Switch Still Has Plenty Of Pep
9/10.
Metroid Prime 4, Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi Brothership, and Super Mario Party Jamboree on the first party front and Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, Ace Attorney Investigations, and Dragon Quest HD-2D remakes on the third party front made it a great presentation for me.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - A Magical Remastering Of A Series Highlight
I certainly didn't expect Nintendo to revisit this game's artstyle in 2024 and for a game where you play as Zelda no less.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
This Direct was a fantastic sendoff to the Switch.
Mario & Luigi, Mario Party, 2D Zelda, Metroid Prime 4.
And on the third party front, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, Ace Attorney Investigations, and the Dragon Quest HD-2D remakes.
A hearty 9/10 from me.
Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Swings Onto Switch Next Year
I'm very happy to have DKC Returns in HD. It's a brilliant game, especially the mine cart world.
Re: 'Super Mario Party Jamboree' Rolls Onto Switch This October
Very happy to see a new Mario Party. I'll pick it up this holiday.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Confirmed, Launching 2025
Announcing Metroid Prime 4 was an amazing way to end the Direct.
Re: New 2D Adventure 'The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom' Announced For This September
A Zelda game where you play as Zelda is a dream come true.
Re: We're Getting A Brand New 'Mario & Luigi' RPG This November
This was a completely unexpected announcement. I'm loving the new art style.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
Low expectations,but I'd like to be surprised. I'm still feeling relatively confident in at least predicting a new Mario Party.
Re: Feature: 16 Great Late-Gen Nintendo Games - Maybe There's Life In The Ol' Switch Yet
The 3DS had a really graceful sendoff, and I hope Nintendo repeats their strategy.
I think there is still room for a new Mario Party, a Fire Emblem remake, Prime 2/3 remasters plus potentially the Wii U Zelda remakes on Switch.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Upcoming June Nintendo Direct
I'm expecting Metroid Prime 2 Remastered and maybe 3 too.
One or both HD Zelda ports will make their way over from the Wii U.
A new Kirby game is usually a lock for late in a Nintendo's system life.
And a new Mario Party makes too much sense to sell a few million before the Switch sunsets.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Summer Game Fest 2024 Opening Showcase?
3/10. Only a few games appealed to me: Dragon Ball, Sonic, and Fatal Fury.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Speeds Onto Switch This October
Looks amazing. I never played the original so I'll gladly pick it up this time around.
Re: Feature: We Look To The Past To Predict Every First-Party 'Switch 2' Release Until 2029
No, we don't desperately need a Nintendo Kart.
Mario Kart still holds up after all these years.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Five More Classics
I have these on 3DS, but I'm happy for those who get to experience them for the first time.
Re: 'Yooka-Replaylee' Brings Back Playtonic's Love Letter To Banjo In Remastered Form
This is a surprise but a welcome one. Yooka Laylee is pretty fun.
Re: Metal Slug Tactics Blasts Onto Switch This Fall
This game has piqued my interest. Looks great.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?
In my mind, anything before HD is retro.
Even some early 360 and PS3 games are starting to feel retro now, though.
Re: Feature: Death By A Thousand Karts - Can We Race ALL 96 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tracks In A Single Session?
I can do 48 in a single session but 96 is too much.
Re: Bleach's Free-To-Play Mobile Hack-And-Slash Is Coming To The Switch eShop
Doesn't look the best. A better Bleach game should be made now that Bleach is back in the spotlight with the anime adaptation of The Thousand Year Blood War.
Re: LEGO Unveils 'Great Deku Tree 2-In-1' Zelda Set, Pre-Orders Now Available
I'm not into the giant Lego pieces that the Mario sets had so this Zelda set looks like a big improvement.
Re: Review: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Switch) - Still The King Of Mario RPGs
Excited to play The Thousand Year Door for the first time.
Re: The Pokémon Games Have Had Tremendous Success During The Switch Generation
I enjoyed Let's Go and Arceus, but the mainline gen 8 and 9 games are only good but not great. I hope gen 10 is more ambitious.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Three More Classics
It's funny that it took Nintendo so long to add the first Super Mario Land.
Re: Talking Point: One Year On, Has Everyone Beaten Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Not yet, but I also took my time with Breath of the Wild.
I'll get around to it eventually.
Re: Soapbox: Are We Ready For A 3D Super Mario Maker?
It's crazy to me how many people in the comments section are against Mario Maker because they don't know how to navigate the game.
I've found 100 amazing people I follow in game, and I'm always happy to see a new upload from them.
Plus the popular tab has quite a few good levels, and detailed search allows you to filter by popularity, game style, game theme, and difficulty.
There are so many good levels that I continue to get thousands of hours of gameplay out of.
Re: Soapbox: Are We Ready For A 3D Super Mario Maker?
I would love a 3D Mario Maker, but I'd also be happy to see another 2D entry since we still have so many missing features in 2D like placeable water, lava, and poison tiles, diagonal pipes, and tons of enemies plus themes like mountain and beach.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
Looks like a great successor to NES Remix.
