@AnonyQ what games rely "solely on mouse mode"? This is the only one and it's marketed as such. I don't think anyone buying a Switch 2 Lite in 2028 will be missing this game.
No one said the thing they showed is a real Switch, it's a mockup 3d print. So of course it's not "official". But it's pretty much confirmed that the Switch 2 will have these measurements etc
Please Nintendo just give us the Princess Peach Showtime soundtrack! I finished this game months ago but I keep thinking of the Dashing Thief theme all the time. I need those upbeat tracks to clean my house!
I enjoyed the Switch demo so this review makes me quite happy! I agree that the game feels a bit "lifeless" without some voice acting, but at the end of the day this is a gameplay-focused title. MARSUPILAMI - HOOBADVENTURE for example felt really similar to this!
@TKundNobody Framerate changes do affect people's gaming experience, though. Personally I'm not bothered by a steady 30fps, like in Paper Mario TTYD, it's the dipping of the framerate that happens in these Zelda titles that gives me a physical strain in the eyes.
I was surprised at the stutter right in front of Hyrule Castle at the start, surely that patch didn't fix anything yet. But apart from that, yeah, it's lovely!
@bozz you could say the same thing about a lot of genres. I feel like there's a new roguelike dungeon crawler coming out every week, for example. Also a lot of these cozy indie farming games are not even that polished, and if you look deeper you'll find that most of them are skippable anyways.
I personally don't really mind spoilers for this particular title, because the last thing I care about in a 100 hour game is the bare boned story.
That being said, I hate that people can't keep these things to themselves. Why force people into seeing things on their social media feeds that they'd rather experience fresh and in the intended order?
Let's be real, who really cares about titles like this? It took me years to even realize there was another Steamworld game before Dig. People who really want to play it will still find a way.
The problem isn't really developing for a Nintendo console, it's developing exclusively.
@arabiansanchez What qualifies for a full price tag though? I mean I would welcome it if games and especially Nintendo games were cheaper in general, but why does this game get singled out so much? I just played Kirby and the Forgotten Land and while it took around 25 hours to 100%, the story itself is quite short. However, it was still an amazing experience to complete it.
We don't know how long it is, we don't know what the replay value is going to be, we don't even know about extra content. I feel like people see the style and immediately associate it with "small indie title".
I'm confused by all this complaining. This is a mainline Zelda game we're talking about. I'm not even a Zelda fan myself, but BotW alone is considered a masterpiece or at least an extremely good title by a lot of Nintendo gamers, and on top of that it has so much content.
I don't understand why Kirby Star Allies or Mario Golf are full priced games, but to complain about an additional $10 for TotK seems a bit overdramatic to me.
@Yanina The Doraemon SoS is beautiful but waaaay too grindy, even for a farming game. The new one is said to have improved a lot on that front, so I might still get that.
Something about these titles makes me very hesitant to play them. I think it's the fact that they seem very "on the nose" cheesy and forced sentimental.
@TopazLink in the first game, before you select a chapter, you press the R button (I think), and then a menu pops up to change costumes, difficulty etc. From the start, you can always choose between Normal, Easy and Very Easy, then after beating each chapter on Normal you will unlock Hard difficulty.
@TopazLink I don't remember a difference between the first two titles? Haven't played in a while but I'm pretty sure you can change the difficulty for each level in the menu and you unlock higher difficulties after you beat it on a lower one.
Acting like she "is" Bayonetta just because she voiced her for two games is so so insulting to the whole team of people working on this IP for years. I'm so glad this person is not affiliated with the Bayonetta brand anymore. Let her fade into oblivion and embrace the future of the IP.

Re: The Switch eShop Is A Nightmare, So We've Made Our Own "Better eShop"
I'm sorry but no, putting games into clear-cut categories like "shovelware" doesn't make any sense to me and gives big censorship vibes.

Can't get into Donkey Kong and its weird difficulty, so no I won't be getting this.

Re: The Game Awards 2024 Nominees Have Been Revealed - Zelda, Mario And Metroid Nominated
Can't take those awards seriously.
Announcing that dlc is eligible for goty just so they can give it to Elden Ring?
Nominating pieces that aren't even considered good like the Yakuza show.
Giving an award to an upcoming game based on hype?
And nominating the same few titles for everything?
Re: Nintendo Music's Next Batch Of Tracks Will Arrive Next Week

Re: So, Will You Be Listening To The New Mobile App Nintendo Music?
Love that they're doing this but hate that they're doing it the Nintendo way. Where is the variety? Why drip feed the music like the nso games?
Re: Nintendo Museum Overseas Visitors Reportedly Breaking 'No Photos' Rule

Re: Review: Shadows Of The Damned: Hella Remastered (Switch) - Cult Shooter Returns As Fun-But-Flawed As Ever
It's a shame this didn't get a remake. I loved the whackiness and design of the original, but it was very clunky.

Re: Deals: Get Discounted Switch eShop Credit, Games And More In The Nintendo Life Store Sale
Maybe it's just me, but 5% discounts seem kind of insulting.
Re: '80s Slasher Movies Meet Creepy Pixel Art In 'Camp Sunshine'
At first I thought this was a sequel to Slayaway Camp, since the soundtrack in the trailer sounds like it was taken directly from that game.

Re: Crypt Custodian Is A Zelda-Like Metroidvania Where You Play As A Dead Cat
It's a metroidvania because the developer says so. It's really not that hard to understand, is it?
Re: Animal Crossing Meets Dinosaurs In 'Amber Isle', Hatching On Switch This October
Let's not kid ourselves, this game does NOT look good. Everything about this trailer looks grating, especially the character design.

Re: Suda51's Shadows Of The Damned Remaster Is "Probably" Coming To All Current Platforms
@Cashews I played through it twice because it was so much fun. Those games had their flaws but they weren't stinkers at all, especially this one.

Re: 'The Lara Croft Collection' For Switch Has Been Rated By The ESRB
Both games were actually really fun to play back in the day. Now, whether they aged that well I'm not sure, but you should keep an open mind.
Re: Nintendo's Latest Switch Online Game Trial Celebrates Zelda
I agree with Big Blue. Game trials should be exclusive demos for games that don't have a demo. If I like a demo, I will buy the game anyways.
Re: SteamWorld Series Creator Admits 3DS eShop Closure Is A Little Bit "Upsetting"

Re: Video: Hogwarts Legacy Shows Off Magical New Gameplay Footage
If it's good I'll buy it used. Potter games have been more miss than hit in recent installments though.
JK already got the money before the game even started being developed and she's a multimillionaire anyways.

Re: The Nintendo 64 Platformer Glover Is Coming Soon To Switch
These kinds of titles should be released both as purchasable items on the eShop and as part of the expansion pack library.
