Just travel to Asia and buy one there.

I wonder if I can use my PS4 drum on the Switch.

Sine Mora Ex for €11.99 is quite tempting.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is amazing.

Nickelodeon video games are always horrible.

A clicker game scores a 5? How?

How is that possible? There are no gameplay mechanics, all you do is click.

The games were doing so well that they decided to bring 'Carnival Games' over.

And the award for most generic artstyle goes to...

I wonder if I can use my PS4 Taiko drums on the Switch(I bought them in Taiwan, because I'm handsome and travel the world).

@headfirstslide Who expects that? I expect insightful interview questions.

@Aozz101x Then they shouldn't ask those dumb questions. Why would you ask those questions, not get an answer and then write an article about it with some speculation? That isn't journalism.

@headfirstslide I don't know why they keep interviewing those PR dudes. They never reveal anything and will only say what you already know.

Just another puppet talking without saying anything.

@TommyTendo Why? Are they too poor to actually travel there?

Amy game that forces you to wait and do nothing instead of playing is not worth my time or money. Such a cheap mechanic

It just makes me sad to see so much utterly terrible games on a Nintendo platform.

This looks terrible. Probably one of those games that will be 'on sale' for $1 every other week... and still isn't worth it.

A 5/10 is generous

@Edgarmtanaka If it's severely limited, it's not really powerful. I'm pretty sure most kids will get bored very quickly.

$100 lol.

Keep milking those virgins.

@GameOtaku It's not the companies fault, it's Nintendo's. They should've never allowed it to ship carts that aren't totally functional without an additional download. In that case developers had the choice between buying more expensive carts or optimizing the file size to save money.

I own both a Virtual Boy, 3DS XL and a Playstation VR (because I'm handsome, rich and successful). The 3D effect of the Virtual Boy is way better than that of the 3DS. It's not VR, but still one of the most unique ways of playing games. And really immersive because all you see is that red screen.

@Edgarmtanaka I do see the bigger picture. As a coder(and as somebody who has been coding since 6 years old on a Commodore) I can ensure you that there isn't much more to labo. It's a toy.

You can configure some basic 'if this then that' things but not much more. That's why you see all those instruments... If sensor this then play sound X.

Powerful?

If a tea pot game is one of the big winners, it just shows it can't do anything.

I want to fight as the GBA Karate Man from Rhythm Tengoku

This would've been better if they had used a more 8 bit type of artstyle with nice big pixels, just like the rest of the eshop,

@gameboy1975 Triggered? Mad? You sound real insecure now, I'm chilling man.

Do I really have to explain to you the difference between quality and popularity(quantity). Just because more people have an opinion doesn't make it right. It's a given that most people have an horrible taste when it comes to basically everything. I'm pretty sure more people share your opinion that Katy Perry is a better musician than Aphex Twin too.

And ofcourse you don't like Yakuza. Yakuza is a game that celebrates manliness. You identify more with a silent little boy who collects mushrooms, cooks, gets cold, then too hot and now it's raining or you're tired so you can't get any further. You do everything to get to a girl. Link is a hero to all friendzoned men.

@gameboy1975 Don't turn this into a popularity contest, that's for 13 year old girls. It's about the opinions of those who played it. Best selling usually means watered down to appeal to the general public. I'm pretty sure McDonald's has way more reviews than Din Tai Fung. Of course there are way more fat children are playing Zelda. I heard that looking underneath rocks for seeds spark their imagination.

The user reviews are accurate though. Yakuza is a near 9 on average, while BoTW is a solid 8/10. Fun mechanics, but otherwise forgettable and with some really boring characters.Fish people and a giant parrot with an accordion. The only other characters I can think of are the badly designed enemies.
But I can see it getting rated higher, depending on how much you're into crossdressing to get into Gerudo Town.

Am I the only one who prefers new stages over the old ones? I already saw every one of then hundreds if not thousands of times. And they already got rehashed.

I love smash, but nothing got me really excited because I saw everything before.

Hopefully they won't repeat that DLC mess from Smash 4 though.

@Spectra I never understood the appeal of obscure Japanese niche games with an English dub. Ruins the whole atmosphere.

Like how Germans dub everything.

There are classic games and games that are old. This one is just old. No classic in any form or way. There is an easy way to find out if something is classic or not: just Google if there is somebody on this planet who asked for that game to be re-released.

judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind.

The artstyle is so terrible it's insulting. Half pixel art, but then smooth round enemies and some faux 3D/shadowing in other places.

Like it was designed by three different people with a severe visual impairment;

Nintendo needs to bring that Seal of Quality back.

@gameboy1975 Way off the mark, it's more like Shenmue meets Wii Sports meets Wario Ware meets Streets of Rage.

You do know that Odyssey is the only Switch game with a higher user score on metacritic than Yakuza 0? BoTW is not even close.

Game of the decade

Nintendo realized they could ask money for the old games, so they never did that again. In Smash 4 they gave you timed demos, which was the cheapest thing I've ever seen. You could play SNES Mario Kart for 3 minutes or something.

@gameboy1975 Yakuza 0 is the best game of the decade. That's a fact. Just buy the game, you will love it more climbing, cooking and horse riding simulator that is BoTW.

It's nothing personal, you just didn't play the GOTY 2017 yet. It's in the Playstation Hits line for $20 now. No reason to not get it.

You can thank me later.

@Sondheimist My point is that there are no mature games on Nintendo consoles that sell millions (or even 10+ million in some cases) of copies like on the other consoles. The multiplatform games usually sell a fraction of what the PS4/Xbox One versions sell. The only ports you see are from older games or games with an engine that scales very well, like Doom/Wolfenstein. Basically games that can be handled by a small team and don't cost too much.
Yakuza is a niche franchise on a platform with way more competition and it's still outselling Bayonetta 2, which is basically the only real good action adventure hack n slash game on the Switch.

Odyssey was a fun game, but too easy (the only challenge was darker side of the moon) and more of a collectathon with very few memorable moons. Galaxy was better. BoTW was amazing for the first few hours, when it's actually challenging. Then you get access to better armour and weapons and it becomes too easy. The side quests were mostly boring. A lot of the shrines too. Most of them were really easy and all you get is a spirit orb which makes the game even more easy.

Both fun games, but with Yakuza 0 I was actually laughing out loud, very rare for a game. Almost every side quest had a fun little twist. Every character in the game was full with personality. You had to rescue a daughter from a weird cult, then you buy a porn magazine for a kid, then you have to deliver a pizza, then you meet that Mr Libido who's dancing in his underpants, then you play a bowling tournament, win a chicken and hire it as a manager, then you meet up with Spielberg and Michael Jackson and have to fight off zombies for the Thriller music video. I will remember these moments years from now, unlike most of BotW.

@Rayquaza2510 If the next Pokémon will utilize the Switch's power to the fullest, it will be something between Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles. An open world filled with creatures en unexpected encounters.

It should be like what Monster Hunter World is compared to the Monster Hunter games on the 3DS.

The franchise has so much potential and you know they have the cash to make something truly epic, but they just don't seem to really care.

@gameboy1975 I was reacting to your previous message.

But it doesn't make any sense. Sony fanboy because you appreciate a game series? I own more Nintendo consoles to be honest, even the Virtual Boy.

Actually played BoTW, Odyssey and Yakuza 0. Yakuza 0 was the best. But you don't know, because you didn't play it because you like overhyped games. A bandwagon gamer.

There are tons of great games that didn't sell well and tons of crappy games that sold millions.

@gameboy1975 You didn't play Yakuza 0, did you?

Let's be real, this looks more like an upscaled 3DS game than a console game. You can't be really excited about that.

Actually, it looks exactly like Pokémon Sun upscaled on an emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5CFKKrSt24

So lazy.

Played the demo, kinda enjoyed. I do miss close ups of the faces of the characters. You don't see any emotion, it makes them less recognizable and ultimately makes me feel less connected with the characters.

I don't know why people here are so upset. It's not like those Yakuza games were on the Switch to begin with. And everybody has a PS4.

I don't have a Switch for watered down PS4 ports, I want new franchises optimized for the platform.

@magnumc500 Because gamers are dumb and have terrible taste. They just follow the hype. They closed the door on Sega and let Microsoft in. Come on now.

You can't blame Sega either. They put out so many quality products over the years, but gamers keep ignoring them. They will buy crappy Sonic games though.

Who are the people who 'play' all those weird cutscene games without any gameplay? They must be the same people who don't press start during the logos of the game developers when you boot up a game.

Virgins will line up to buy these

@magnumc500 The Dreamcast is the best console of all time.

The Dreamcast didn't fail, gamers failed the Dreamcast.

Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2 would never run well on the Switch. They barely run well on the PS4.

Amazing games though. Yakuza 0 was the best game of 2017, way better than Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey.

Still funny to see all those Nintendo fanboys in denial here. Adult games never sell well on Nintendo platforms.

These levels were boring as hell in Mario 3D World. The demo is also boring. Too easy.You just walk from A to B. Very slowly. That's it.

6/10 snorefest tops

Most indie games are worse than those crappy free Newgrounds Flash games from years ago.

I also like how 'Deluxe' or 'Definitive Edition' in the title these days just means 'free to play mobile port with all levels and physical controls'.

Dele Alli plays Fortnite on the PS4.

But I guess NintendoLife needs a new bandwagon now that the Nintendo Labo hypetrain crashed.

It's not the game that is the problem, it's the players.

In Smash 4 all glory players picked Cloud, rolled and limit charge. It's the saddest online community on Earth.

@1UP_MARIO I'm from Europe but nah, US boxes were better without the huge black border around the artwork.

Japanese boxes were the best though.

Let's be honest here: the Battletoads games were bad.

I always convinced myself that I liked the games because I liked the graphics/characters as a 7 year old, but in reality I didn't really enjoy the games that much. The gameplay was bad. I also remembered wanting Battletoads Double Dragon because I liked both, only to find out that it did not feel as good as Double Dragon at all.
