@Not_Soos A Spirit Battle is really just a character and stage combo with maybe an additional effect they chose from a dropdown. Break the Targets would require a well-designed level for each one.
@Joeynator3000 One of the blurred screens looks like a Battlefield background with extra UI (a stage element selector on the left side, and a save/test button in the bottom right)
What a massive waste of time. The characters haven't been around for decades, so they are super niche. They have to know that a petition is never going to get Nintendo to do anything. Why bother?
@Prizm You don't need high quality audio for voice chat. When you consider that you can have gyro, accelerator and control stick from 8 controllers (which are all analogue inputs), you can definitely transmit 2 audio waves.
@SwitchForce Sure... There is no CD because you pick up cassettes in the game. If you played it, you would know that. If that makes me a troll, then so be it.
@Whalehome From your comment (I haven't played HK), it sounds like the game was designed pretty well around that system. The majority of the time with a system-wide achievement system, it's just "Hey, we need achievements, throw 'em in."
Pretty nice, especially the rhythm game additions, would be nice if you could unlock all the other amiibo gear with these. Now we need Pearl and Marina's hairstyle options!
@JHDK It is not a disease, but it can still be a mental disorder, and if it is negatively affecting someone's life then rather than saying they're fine, we should be helping them.
@VR32F1END Enemy types is another good criticism. I think most of the issues were to do with balance, as you have areas like Hateno and Faron that are full of things to see, and then really empty places like Gerudo and Hebra. Strangely, the empty areas are all on one side of the map and vice versa.
@VR32F1END That would have been a great way to do it! Something either off the coast of Hateno or the southern coast, far enough that you just see it on the horizon. Maybe you could get the Wind Waker from another of these dungeons to make the wind stronger, allowing you to fly there?
Also, something in the emptiness of the Hebra region, and maybe on Mt Lanayru?
These three dungeons would be good if they had an order you had to complete them in, so these 3 at least can have some kind of progression.
@SomeWriter13 I had 3 major problems with Fantasy Life, but other than that it is probably my favourite 3DS game. 1) The map is designed in a way that everything branches out from a central area. This means that when you go somewhere, instead of being able to continue through to another location, you have to backtrack. They could have put some loops in the map. 2) By having the same story no matter which life you chose, the story chapters where incredibly easy. You did some walking around, maybe picked up an item, and then did a really easy boss. If they changed the story quests slightly for each life, this would not be an issue. It would be even better if they had a unique storyline for each life. 3) All of the side quests where 'Go kill X enemies' or 'Bring me X of this'. There was not a single side quest that did not work like this.

Re: Feature: The Best 3D Platformers On Nintendo Switch
Putting in rubbish games like Fe in this list and passing it off as a Best Of feature is a whole new level of low.

@Heavyarms55 The fact that this trailer isn't part of a Direct makes me think there won't be one for a while.

Re: Feature: Things We Wish Nintendo Would Do In 2019
@SwitchForce They can't get caught doing it if they're offline. Who else would need to back up offline?
Re: Feature: Things We Wish Nintendo Would Do In 2019
@waldo13 That's way to niche to be implemented.
Re: Feature: Things We Wish Nintendo Would Do In 2019
@Prizm If you can connect 8 controllers with a mix of digital and analogue inputs, you should be able to connect a pro controller and headset.

@SwitchForce Very few people are going to stay offline unless they're hacking/pirating.

There is no CD because you pick up cassettes in the game. If you played it, you would know that. If that makes me a troll, then so be it.

@SwitchForce Maybe play the game before you comment

Re: Random: This Switch User Interface Mock-Up Has Us Longing For More Features

Re: Nintendo Says There Are More Updates Coming To Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Come on, NL. This news was out a quite a while a go, and it's not like you had any interesting story full of content about it.
Re: Random: This Switch User Interface Mock-Up Has Us Longing For More Features
Achievements are just nothing content. Add more levels or something more interesting instead.
