Imagine buying games release day and being their playtester free of charge.

@johnedwin A lot of games get rereleased as is with QoL features on Nintendo Switch. Lunar Remastered for instance is 16-bit and selling out physical copies. Why must Square Enix games be the exception?

I'm less excited over a remake/remaster and just exhausted of the prospect that SE WILL alter the characters costumes and censoring dialogue, then for people to say 'this butchery is not a big deal, this cover-up on the character looks better than the original, etc'.If it wasn't a big deal, why change it in first place? I'm just so tired of the mordern times man.. So, so much. Monkey paw curls a finger.

Just remember Nintendo championed this price increase this time

Any games or merch that features this DK design, I just won't buy.

Always set rumble to 'off' so I didn't know this; you could edit the rumble levels on Wiimotes, but not Joycons?

This leaker must be protected at all costs. They've uncovered a lot of beta info on Gamefreaks past games that would had never been known were it not for them.

Have to pass this up. They bothered to get new voice actors, but not enough to redo the script to be more faithful (like removing the pop-culture fanfiction dribble). They instead reused the terrible Working Designs localization. I'm out.

This would be like if Nintendo didn't include the Mario Kart 8 WiiU DLC Packs that were $7.99 each or the $12.99 bundle, into the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Mouse Controls would really benefit the level creation in a Super Mario Maker Switch 2 release.

So games can be removed without requiring an update to the app. Good to know.

@Cakefish Nintendo is sure to announce some Switch 1 games within the year that you may fancy. Not sure if you want to take that gamble for a handful of savings.

@batmanbud2 I can name FIVE
Donkey Kong 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Conker's bad Fur Day
Killer Instinct Gold
Super Smash Brothers (seriously where is it? The excuse that it would hamper Smash Bros Ultimate sales is long exhausted; we're Switch 2 bound without it releasing on current gen yet)

The fire starter, Cyndaquil! These are all Johto, yes?

I placed an order for the Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron is Back!, Puzzle Bobble Everybubble!, and a Bubble Bobble themed hoodie from them. It was delayed multiple times; about 2 years since ordering was when they once again delayed it from a Q3 2024 to beyond. At that point, I requested a refund. They didn't make it easy; saying what they could to convince me not to. Then they said:

"Unfortunately, we are not able to cancel orders that are older than one year automatically and have to do so manually"

So I waited a little over a week and they sent the refund back through paypal, and I was charged over $10.

Never doing buisness with them again.

I've received my physical copy a day after Christmas. Game is exactly as you'd expect. No bells & whistles, just a port with a resolution bump.

I should grab an Allmiibo before long then!

@Mgalens Same reasoning why I refused to update Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom despite Nintendo's efforts in patching out duplication glitches, ignoring their bribing for us to update with meager freebie download offerings 😅

Seeing as Nintendo hasn't been patching their recent non online connected games, (hey Donkey Kong Country Returns), I don't see them fixing this which is totally fine 'cause it doesn't affect others experiences if I were to perform it.

If you had told me when the NSO Expansion was revealed that we'd be closing in on the Switch successor without Donkey Kong 64 or Smash Brothers 64 not yet released, I wouldn't had believed you. Here we are, however..

Is this the game where the localizers had free rein adding modern online terminology like 'chud' as an example, butchering the original script?

If you haven't figured it out, every re-release is a chance for them to censor the past 🤨💢

@Debo626 You could add ones account to multiple Switches in your circle and play their library of games they own digitally. I do that with my friends account without owning the games myself.

Waiting on the update that fixes the co-op bug.

@MJF Switch 2 or not, it's redundant to include it since the system is backwards compatible and the rest of your list is pertaining to titles not available on Switch. You have the DS entry in your list, the wii game is titled 'New Super Mario Bros. Wii'

@BTB20 Waited for New Pokemon Snap and the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX remake; eventually paid off with 30% discount. I'm in no rush to pick this up, but it is astonishing how long they're reluctant to discount some of their catalog.

Why wasn't this caught on during your review @Nintendolife? Shouldn't you review the co-op aspect of a game as well?

@MJF New Super Mario Bros U has already released on Switch. Could replace it with the Wii game.

Waiting for greedy Nintendo/TPCi to discount this game on the eshop for over a year. Until then, can't listen to its ost.

I believe it'll be $500 at least. Nintendo knows it's audience are good pay piggies. Throw in a Pokemon and Mario Kart launch title and system will sell in droves.

People who say they're "glad DK looks more like his old arcade self" do NOT understand DK canon at all. Canonically, Cranky Kong is the one in the old arcade/NES games, NOT our Rare-era DK. There is no reason to make Donkey Kong look like "his original design" because that original design isn't him. Furthermore, it introduces a major problem because all of DK's Rare-era Kong relatives look like him..Ya know.. Because they're related. Diddy, Dixie, Kiddie, Funky, Wrinkly, Tiny, Lanky, etc. They all have a familiar resemblance. Redesigning DK would require also redesigning all of those other Kongs, and I don't even really know that they'd all look right in this new art style. If Nintendo really wants DK to look different for Mario Kart 10 and their little animated movies, then so be it, but DK had better not change in the next Donkey Kong game. Why? Well, change the way Mario looks drastically too back to his plumper self in the original Donkey Kong or Mario Bros Arcade asethetic and talk to me then about character design.

Imagine if Nintendolife were still to review all the eshop slop like they stride to do for Wiiware and DSIware.

@babybilly Thanks for the tidbit! I purchased a download code from Walmart and was able to redeem the Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time!

@Vyacheslav333 Why do Nintendo always get stupid when they're at the top?

@nessisonett Stop telling people to touch grass and go do it yourself. You spend more time online than the people you say it to.

Apparently the game's very handholdy, humor doesn't have any depth, bad guy is a scatterbrain forgetting peoples names (the concept isn't exactly new), and it has frame rate issues through stuttering anytime elemental displays appear. Also, you don’t control Luigi’s jumping anymore in the overworld. He for the most part follows along as an NPC which is quite the departure. Random ecounters instead of enemies appearing in the overworld to initiate combat? Wouldn't arrive to the conclusion of "Best Mario & Luigi RPG yet" as that's a tall order to fill and considering these points.

@KidSparta What minors? Enjoy hunting down the developers for originally adding it in the first place then, no? How about not buying the game since it originally has that in the first place? No again? Yeah, thought so.

@Vyacheslav333 @Samalik @ottoecamn @Cronodoug

"This title is based on the Western version of “Xenoblade Chronicles X” released on Wii U. The specifications are the same worldwide."

Source, NoJ XBX listing page on Nintendo Store.

Unfortunately it appears they're going to push the censored western release on the entire world like they did Tokyo Mirage Sessions. In fact, I'd bet this port is censored even further.

SE slided them a DM, a very serious one. Damage control to avoid similar fate as Ubisoft. Control the problem to avoid calls from their investors over stock prices dropping.

Torishima is 100% right, it is a religion. A godless religion, that's why it's so toxic and poisonous to everything it touches. Someone tell them that age ratings don't matter at large. And "regulations" about things like male or female, or the "cover up because it's illegal" is a pure fabrication. They are being lied to.

If the next system is going to be a slightly bigger Switch then that is really boring to be frank and I'll be saving money by not upgrading.

@AmplifyMJ You're right, my first post can be worded better in enlightening another's misunderstanding. Sorry for any feathers ruffled @Spider-Kev.

@Spider-Kev My reading comprehension is fine. Your post at #45 is nigh incomprehensible for starters. Are you listing steps? You say no DLC, then next you state the 12 months of online included in the bundle has the Tour map tracks accessible as long as one remains renewing their membership which is incorrect with the standard NSO. The Expansion Pack NSO, the upgraded tier, is what has that perk of playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC without purchasing the Booster Course Pass.

@Spider-Kev The DLC pertains to the expansion pack of NSO which this bundle offering doesn't appear to include.

@Tobiaku Even the men are censored in DQ III too. Truly bewildering that Mario can be shirtless in Odyssey, but Monster Wrangler Male has to cover pecs.

@ThatGuyWho See, this post proves when companies try to cater to these people, they still won't buy their games. So it's best to make the games for the fans and not make unnecessary changes for a spec demographic.

Trident replacing medic symbol on Priest clothing because they worship Satan now. Good job SE.

What if, and big if, Link can be played in a harder campain mode starring him after you complete the regular campaign akin to Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland GBA unlocking Meta Knight to play? That'd be a nice incentive to beat the game and play again for a different experience.

I played this a few times to secure Platinum Coins whenever it becomes a mission to finish a match crossing the final lap, but I don't want to invest too much time into a game that's strictly online where it'll inevitably become unplayable due to online being discontinued. Add an optional offline mode for however much money and I'll definitely grab it up.
