Please tell me how you got two docks with your Switch.
@retro_player_22 “I don't get why people opted to look for crappy third party docks in the first place, I mean Nintendo did give you one for free with the Switch.”
@NinNin “By the way, did you know that Nintendo allows transferring Virtual Console games from a Wii to a Wii U at no charge?”
That is correct, although you have to play it from Wii U’s Wii menu.
@faint “Also yes they up charge you if you want to take vc game from the virtual wii in your wiiu to use them on your wiiu.”
This is also correct. Transferring VC titles from the Wii U’s Wii to native Wii U and its new emulator, will cost you money. The fee is about 15-20% of the full price of each title, but I don’t remember the exact price.
I don’t have children, but hope to one day have a family. But thinking that one of my future children might die before me, that’s something I’d never even consider. I cannot even partially understand your pain, but I hope you find the power to endure. Find strength in family and friends, and the good memories spent with the lost ones.
I absolutely love all your games! I am so happy for my neighbors in east... go Sweden!
Well, I have yo admit I never played the first SteamWorld game, so now onto the question I've asked you several times on Twitter using the same name as on here, with only cryptic responses sent my way: How about a SteamWorld collection for Switch, but not only two games this time, but all four?
If one cannot criticise a creation here on Nintendo Life without having skill as great or greater than the creator, then I'd like to mention that's normal in other circles. Like in visual arts, music, literature.
This Nintendo Direct hype is ridiculous. Of course a Nintendo Direct has to happen this month, as we simply don’t know of any dates for first-party games.
This game won’t work on Switch. No car racing game will. Sorry, folks. The lack of pressure-sensitive shoulder buttons ensures Switch won’t see these games. Nintendo chose to take this route, and any and all car racing games, should any appear on the Switch, will be worse on the console.
I also love Shadows Of The Empire! I replayed it with friends a couple years ago on N64. What a great game!
Other great Star Wars games were Rogue Squadron, Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, and Episode I Racer.
@Lukeim64 "The only Starwars game I've ever truly love was Shadows of the Empire. I'm sure it's remembered badly, but I loved it with my shiny new N64."
Apart from one moderator, I like all of the Nintendo Life staff! I do not agree how you report on certain subjects, and how many articles are click bait, but NL is still the best Nintendo news site.
I've been against piracy my whole life, but I'm changing that stance these days. Any console shutting down their store, so I can no longer retrieve my games, will become a piracy machine for me.
Steam lets me own and retrieve 15-20 year old games. Why don't Nintendo keep the DSi store open on a server farm that can scale between their different infrastructures?
Are you complaining about people "whining"? Doesn't that also make you a "whiner"?
@WhistleFish "Tbh i couldn't give a toss e-shop was down, there are more important matters in life for me to even let something like that bother me. Can't understand why some ppl are still whining about the past, it's up and running now, suck it up cry babies and get in the real world, S#+T happens"
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is the worst game I have ever spent more than an hour on.
I wasted 10 hours on this pile of trash code, expecting the tutorial to end, when in reality, what I played was the actual core gameplay cycle. I gave Nintendo the benefit of doubt, and thought if someone could make a game for telephones, its developers could, but they cannot.
Save yourself, folks...
Value your time...
Stay away!
I did the humongous mistake of buying Worms Revolution on PlayStation 3 on launch day 5-6 years ago. It was a ridiculously bad game - so much stuttering, frame drops, low resolution, and jaggy polygons, that I immediately regretted my purchase. Add to that, the UI was a mess! The smallest and simplest change in customisation menu when setting up a match could take anything from 5-20 button presses, and 10-30 seconds.
Of course, the developers never fixed the game.
Donkey Kong Country Returns, a Wii game, looked and performed far better!
I am not buying any Worms game on launch ever again.
You're lousy at responding on Twitter. For months I asked about the lack of Pro Controller support, and why we couldn't use all our controllers. I never completed the game because I couldn't bother to detach a single Joy-Con from the docked Switch and play the game in a worse way than what should have been possible. I just dislike playing on a single JC. I only played the game for 30 minutes in undocked mode.
Well, PC support is here now, finally! Perhaps I'll finish the game now?

Re: Soon You'll Be Able To Give Your Switch A Whopping 512GB Of Extra Storage
A little education for those that do not know the difference and confuse others with wrong numbers:
k = kilo
K = kelvin (absolute temperature)
m = milli
M = mega
g = gram (mass)
G = giga
b = bit
B = byte (8 bits)

Re: Unreal Engine Powered F-Zero X Concept Astonishes, Goes Fast

Re: This Year's Genesis 5 Smash Bros Tournament To Officially Partner With Nintendo
I can’t see SSB Brawl mentioned. Isn’t it as popular?
Re: Unreal Engine Powered F-Zero X Concept Astonishes, Goes Fast
Does one have to be as skilled as the creator to be allowed to criticise a creator's work? That's a stupid argument.
@Shiryu
"My heart is breaking from all these "it looks bad" comments, mostly because:

2) I know a single guy did all of this.
3) F-Zero X on N64, the template for this is just as barren."
