@Dpishere Is it the right price, though? I mean, as of right now Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is the same price as this game. This game looks like it could probably have been $5–$10 DLC for the first game... and the first game should have just come packed in for free with the Switch.
Wait, you can get Gold Coin points for physical versions of a game!? I had no idea. Dang it! How long is it until the expiration period is over for a game?
I will pick this up for sure, but I have WAAAAAY too many games that I'm trying to play before TotK comes out... because that'll basically take up the rest of my year. Hahaha!
I walked into this trailer not wanting to have my hopes too high, but this trailer shattered my expectations and I kind of lost my effing mind. I am SOOOOO stoked for this game.
I want this Switch. I want it so bad, but I'm saving up now for the Switch 2, and it's too late in the console generation for me to justify this purchase.
I lost my effing mind when Link fused that rock to a stick. My mind exploded with the possibilities that are now available. Nintendo has a masterpiece on their hands. I have no doubt.
About. Effing. Time. I was emulating Sin & Punishment: Star Successor on my Steam Deck last night and it was great until, out of the blue, the frame rate became a complete and unfixable cluster-eff. I'm so stoked to see Dolphin potentially making strides in the right direction... now if only Citra would get their act together, especially now that the eShop is gone.
I have a fun demo story from last week, actually. I've been on the fence with Metroid: Dread since its release, but I didn't know that it had a free demo until last week. The demo is only about 20-ish minutes long, but I accidentally did a sequence break (no idea how) and I got to play the first hour of the game. Those extra 40 minutes completely hooked me. Needless to say, I bought it that same night. Hahaha!!
I know most people didn't play this game, but Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, for me, is brilliant and criminally underrated. The level design is masterfully crafted, the boss battles were intense, and it was so much fun from start to finish. Most people passed this one because it used the drums, but my goodness, they missed out. What a game.
@ChromaticDracula I'm thrilled that you liked it! Once you play Assault, it is genuinely hard to understand why so few SF fans have actually played it. I can't imagine what SF would have become if Nintendo had continued with Assault's trajectory instead of flushing the franchise in the toilet with the sub-par handheld games and SF Zero.
I once heard the Yoshi franchise described as the most consistently mediocre Nintendo franchise and I was shocked by how much I agreed with that statement.
I just finished Super Mario Land 2... again... I have lost track of how many times I've beaten that game. I don't know why, but it never gets old for me.
I usually don't enjoy playing co-op games because I end up being the guy that just turns my brain off and follows the other person like a younger sibling. Inevitably, I get bored or I just start to eff around because I'm bored. It's odd because I don't ever do this when I play solo, just when I'm playing games with other people.
The only exception to this was It Takes Two. That game makes you work together and it was perfect.
Personally, I prefer digital. Physical is nice, but it makes potential future backwards compatibility a bit of beeotch. I've basically come to the realization that I'm going to have to repurchase every single physical PS4 and PS5 game I own on PC if I want to be able to play them forever. With Switch, same thing with all the indie games I've bought on Switch. Once my Switch dies in 20 some odd years them those games are gone forever if I don't buy them again on Steam. This is basically why I've stopped buying anything but exclusives for PS5 and Switch, opting for Steam instead.
Breath of the Wild got me through the worst breakup of my life. The Last of Us series got me through 2020. Celeste got me through my BFA finals. Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Generation got me through living with some of the worst roommates I have ever had in my life. Night in the Woods and Journey got me through when I lost my job a few years back. Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess got me through middle school. I owe a lot to the incredible developers that have created the games that helped me get through some of the hardest stages of my life. Truly, thank you to each and every one of them.
I was watching a video by Jake Baldino the other day about Sonic Frontiers and I think he summed up why I'm going to pass on this game. Sonic fans, specifically 3D Sonic fans, are built differently. I have a really low tolerance for jankiness and bugginess in games and a game's story makes or breaks the experience for me. This game is not for me and I commend NintendoLife for their honesty in how they really felt about their experience with the game.
I love how everyone was real worried about Sonic coming out too soon but then Pokémon Scarlett and Violet strolled in and 1-uped Sonic in the whole "too soon" department by about a lightyear.
I love how everyone on PushSquare right now is losing their mind over games not running at a perfect native 4k 60 fps, but over here on Nintendo Life most people could not give the slightest eff about that.

Re: Random: The GameCube & Wii Emulator Dolphin Is Coming To Steam In Q2 2023
@SnackBox No, Nintendo cannot do anything. If emulators were illegal then NSO wouldn't exist.

@sanderev Emulators are legal. Downloading ROMs is not. Dolphin is fine.
