I've stepped away from Story of Seasons for some time now (I think ever since the Harvest Moon x Story of Seasons break up) and I've been playing the Rune Factory series for my farming needs. The article sums up everything I've been hearing as an outsider to the series. Glad to know they got their mojo back

Started playing yesterday, I was confused when the game asked me to download a large update today.
It's been terrific so far, can't recommend enough

Hannah and the Ice Caves was my favorite game back then

I haven't played the Trails series yet but I'm always amazed by how far the anime visuals have come.
From the older days of N64 and GCN FE Path of Radiance, I remember being blown away by the Radiant Dawn anime cutscenes how much they looked like the 2D art.
I think Falcom is in the forefront of said graphics

I haven't played GG in a while. Is that the Sheikah crest on that person's hair? Is that a Nintendo exclusive skin or a coincidence?

I skipped Megaman Battle Network when it originally dropped but I've been enjoying the collection very much. I intend to give Star Force the chance I didn't back then as well

I've been playing the DLC and I agree with the joys and cons. Ive skipped the main body of the review for fear of spoilers, though.
6 - Not Bad feels fair

I never cared much for trubbish but that full art card is nice

These movies are to blame for all the tourists that visit our island and are too afraid to dip their toes in the ocean because "sharks".

The game looks fun, though

I'd like to try it but My Nintendo accessories like these are hard to find in regions other than NA/EU/JP even through official means. I don't think I've ever seen the NES and SNES controllers except from private importers, which often launch the prices sky high(er)

Oooh, earlier than I expected. Have fun everyone

My pokemon player's ego is broken never to recover. I'm close to 100%'ing the base game and it had completely slipped my mind that we still didn't have the ORAS' starters megas

I liked they added an extra lap when arriving at Koopa Beach. It always felt too short and anticlimatic after such long road

First time hearing of it and now it's on my wishlist

Personally, that's a pretty good list. I could agree with most of it

That's good to hear. I own both Nier and Chrono Cross but havent tried them on the S2

They're finally laying the foundation for their ultimate goal: to give Charizard another Mega Evolution

I was cautiously optimistic about it but it's good to hear it carries the name Prime with pride

These are fun. Unfortunately Amiibo costs the same as a brand new game around here, and I'd rather invest on the later

I've once been told you need to be a master of your craft to make "bad on purpose". I love 'Brad the Business' editing skills, truly professional

Good luck everyone

Looks very interesting, I will probably give it a go at later date. Thank you for the review

@RupeeClock after checking that link I'm willing to bet eating those special donuts will summon legendaries from other games inside the hoopa spaces

Since Primal Reversion mechanics work pretty much like Mega Evolution I'm hoping they show up in some form in Legends ZA

I would have freaked out too if I were there at that moment. Watch theme is perfect

Glad Ive got it physical preordered.
Still waiting on larger express sd cards

I hate to say this but giving a 4/10 feels a tad unprofessional for such a polished game. You may not like the gameplay on a personal level but it shouldn't affect a score this much

I've always been interested in playing Berseria and now seems like a good time

Nice, I've never had a Zeraora since I missed the few events they had

Still interested in this while wading through my backlog. Thank you for the review

GCN's Kirby Air Ride was huge with me, my friends and family. Luckily, I still have them nearby and we're all raring to go at it again.
Can't beat Top Ride, full items, 100 laps while chatting away

I think DK Bananza is a very good game. Fantastic, even, if you like Mario Odyssey and almost cathartic if you loved the Rare era DK games.
That said, the competition this year is really tough I'm not optimistic it's going to win

@MTMike87 My boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for

I was actually thinking about getting a 2026 calendar just yesterday. I wonder if they ship outside NA/Europe

Overall good list. Discussing individual ranking is a meaningless effort, instead we should be content that we have a gold mine full of great titles to look at.

Now, where is Space Station Sillicon Valley? I don't see it in the top 20

Channeling those late 80's video game commercials, I see

I'm glad they came forward to answer such irresponsible claim. Speak for yourself, Nexon, don't try to blanket everyone with your practices

@Serpenterror thanks a lot for the embedded video. Soundtrack plays a big part in games for me and I love listening to other artists' renditions. This pretty much sold it to me

It looks in line with the other characters' design choices for the first movie

SungWon revealed this weekend he did the Korok and now I can't wait to play this game and listen to him talk. I'm glad for all the returning cast, it wouldn't be the same without them

I was initially wary of the transition on the Mario team but I'm glad now my fears were unfounded. I trust the current Mario team as I trust Eiji Aonuma with Zelda.
I wish Miyamoto-san good health and that he stays with us for a long while, but also that he can get a well deserved rest from the work he has put for all those decades

Happy anniversary, Nintendo Life! Here's to another 20!

I couldn't possibly pick my favorites, I just came by to mention that picture with the cartridges, with Goemon, Mischief Makers and Glover hit me right in the feels. And that was before I noticed Space Station Silicon Valley

@billychaos I don't want to get down and gloomy on my video games news site's comment sections but the only reasoning I make of it is profit. Stone cold cash. Unlike humans, a machine does not need a salary, it doesn't need to look out for its health and cultivate family and friends. It doesn't ask for benefits, it can work 24/7, it won't go on strike if conditions are subpar. These companies want AI to reach the levels of human finesse so they can have unpaid slaves that won't make them look bad in the public's eyes (aside from huge layoffs)

Personally, I'm interested in the DLC. The idea that you would have to survey an alien area (even if it's a gray scale carbon copy of actual Lumiose with different paths) against insurmountable enemies (level 140-160) that requires you acquiring items (berries) to craft upgrades (eat donuts) so you can fight them on equal level gives me this survival exploration vibes. If done correctly, it could be slow and gradual and be very fun. Or they could fumble it and it becomes very mechanic and easy. I want to stay positive, though

@astrogamer I stand corrected. It seems the February release date was just a placeholder and you were correct about early december

@TomSupreme I mean that only as a joke as I despise the idea of that advancements in AI technology eating away on creative jobs, but it's been a few years now all these "lower costs, max profits"-led-by-investors companies have been releasing broken games and using early adopters as QA. I'd welcome them replacing the consumer as their QA testers

As long as IA works as a tool to automate mind numbing chores the actual human QA tester had to do over and over on different milliseconds to try and trigger a bug, I can see that.
Being ignorant on machine learning models myself, though, I can't see a way to leave a program trying to force bugs out of another program. Sounds like a bunch of buzzwords to me

Reminder that today starts Season 2 for ranked battles and they made it much easier to acquire the Mega stones. They are reissuing Greninjite for Rank Y and Delphoxite will be simply Rank S
Edit: It runs over to November 26th

BotW made me feel like I was 8 y.o again, playing OoT for the first time, not sure where to go, stuck in Kokiri Village and just hitting my sword against the walls to hear the sound they make. It's just that this time Kokiri Village was the entire world

@CupidStunt I'm usually of the same opinion but I also think there are only so many unique stories you can tell using the same setup. Sometimes throwing other characters around helps to flesh out the world lore better.
That said, my favorite part of the Metroid games is the feeling of isolation and constant interactions with other characters often diminish that sentiment
