Also, Pikmin 3 is only $20 on Wii U. It makes no sense charging Switch owners extra 40 just for a new chapter that could've been sold for $5 back in the day.
@HeadPirate where did you get that info? I'm pretty sure Nintendo is replacing the switch in 2 years or even less and it makes no sense to release Splatoon 3 when Splatoon 2 exists and it's still very active.
@Mogster why would you prefer the original 64 versions over the 3DS remasters? they run at like 20fps, too many bugs, the graphics didn't age well and I don't think Aonuma would pull this kind of foolery on us.
I highly believe we'll get the Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess in a collection but Skyward Sword HD would be a standalone release.
@gamefreak77 9999 hours is over a year. I highly doubt these play counts are real, they're just manipulating it with homebrew and sh*t like that. Nintendo needs to start doing something with these folks if they just can't stop trying to hack everything.
At least they're doing DLC to add new things, unlike Game Freak who's completely clueless of reality and releases 3rd versions in 2019. And also cutting important content off their games.
This is obviously a hack or a bug. I've bumped into a faux hacker who was trolling on Splatoon 2 and he had 9999 hours on Splatoon 2 that was released 4 months AFTER botw, that's like 1 year and 5 months. C'mon NintendoLife.
@Noid they sure are going thru a lot of s*** because we decided to stand up and demand better products... also sitting on millions of dollars lmfao. GF obviously need your help, sure!
@business-scrub Pokemon hasn't been marketed for kids in a long time. The huge chunk of the demography are people with 18-32 yo. Just because this game don't have current gen graphics, doesn't mean it was made for kids, it's the worst argument ever.
@simevidas Skyward Sword is the worst 3D Zelda. It’s very linear, repetitive and had so much wasted potential. Despite the good reviews, most part of the fans skipped that one, it sold very poorly for a Wii game.
Geez you GAMEFREAK apologists are on full mode, gimme a break and stop being sheeps.
The fact Pokemon Battle Revolution and the other Wii titles look better than this is enough for me to boycott it.
If the Dexit controversy wasn’t an issue, I would complain but still get it. But every time they show something about this game it gives me less and less reasons to get it.
It seems like Masuda & co. really want to kill off the competitive scene. I’m pretty sure the balancing will be sh*t too, just wait for buffed Charizard and Lucario with OP movesets.
@johnvboy quantity doesn’t mean quality. They’ve been rushing on the games since the jump to 3D in 2013. It’s common knowledge GF lacks the expertise to develop games with actual substance. They prefer to pull a FIFA and release a game every year, that’s why it sells so much. XY was so short people could finish the Kalos league in less than 6 hours. SM looked more like a dumb attempt to copy Yokai Watch and they got rid of a lot of things that pissed off many fans. The last Pokemon game that was actually good was ORAS, but they were remakes.
Where’s the innovation? Replacing gyms with stupid trials and mega evolutions with stupid z-moves isn’t exactly doing what the fans want.
It’s just too obvious they’re only trying to cater to children and casuals now and are giving us - competitive players and/or longtime fans - the middle finger.
I couldn’t care less about this game and what GF has to say.
I went thru the denial and rage stages too quick to even care at this point. They do not deserve my money nor my love anymore.
The apologists can enjoy their $60 game with cut content and GC era graphics while I’ll be playing decent games this holiday season! 🥰
Yeah I think Nintendo Life should just remove this article or close the comments. I'm ashamed enough to have it as our chief of state and I don't want to deal with it in my gaming news.
I've been a fan of NL since forever, I don't wanna stop coming here.

Re: Random: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Sunset Wilds Is Missing One Key Thing
@mariomaster96 Splatoon 2 and 3 run on the same engine as Mario Kart 8 and they have day > night changes on the skybox.
Re: Zelda Boss Wanted Certain Tears Of The Kingdom Areas In BOTW, Prevented By Wii U's Limitations
Huh? I'm pretty sure Wii U can handle most of Switch's games including TotK. Switch isn't that much better spec-wise.
Re: Soapbox: It's Time For A Zelda 1 Remake, Please
They should just bring BS Legend of Zelda to SNES NSO.
Re: Spring Into Action With Mario Kart Tour's New Spring Tour
SNES Bowser Castle and GBA Bowser Castle 4 were both datamined recently.
I'm assuming were getting the first one as the last SNES track in the BCP
Re: Upcoming Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Event Detailed
Does it evolve into Maushold 3 or 4?
Re: Best Of 2022: "NCL Has Been Waiting For This Day Since 2014" - Former NOA Employee Talks Nintendo eShop Closures
I doubt Nintendo will shut down online play for 3DS and Wii U before the end of 2024.
Re: Mario Kart 7 Gets Its First Update In Over A Decade
@stuntz0rZ Only the eShop is shutting down, not the online services.
Re: Rumour: Switch Online Datamine Uncovers Plans For "At Least" 38 N64 Games And 52 Sega Genesis Titles
wait, the N64 had 38 games?
Re: Frame Rate And Resolution For Pikmin 3 Deluxe Demo Seemingly Revealed
@EVIL-C both Pikmin and DKCTF released at 49.99
stop defending Nintendo and their anti-consumer practices.
Re: Frame Rate And Resolution For Pikmin 3 Deluxe Demo Seemingly Revealed
@EVIL-C oh c'mon let's not go there, there's a limit.
those are extremely anti consumer practices, you just can't defend a game costing 3x than it did in a previous generation hardware.
Re: Frame Rate And Resolution For Pikmin 3 Deluxe Demo Seemingly Revealed
This is lazy and lame.
Also, Pikmin 3 is only $20 on Wii U. It makes no sense charging Switch owners extra 40 just for a new chapter that could've been sold for $5 back in the day.

Re: Get Ready For A Spooky Splatoon 2 Splatfest - Team Trick Vs. Team Treat
Splatoon 3 isn't happening until Switch's replacement in 2022.
Re: Video: Here's Minecraft Steve Getting Added To The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Mural
Lame and embarrassing.
Sakurai didn't even want this
Re: Nintendo Currently Has "No Plans" To End Online Services For The 3DS
@JayJ Wii online services didn't belong to Nintendo, they were outsourced.
Re: Nintendo Currently Has "No Plans" To End Online Services For The 3DS
3DS/Wii U/Switch eShop are all running on the same server.
It's not like they can just kill it off without moving Switch's to a new structure.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Has Reportedly Leaked Onto The Internet Already

Re: Rumour: Wonderful 101 On Switch Teased (Again) By PlatinumGames
why bother porting this game? It ain't going to sell again and it's not even that good. I'd rather have something else from Platinum Games.

Re: Luigi's Mansion 3 Receiving Paid DLC, Will Add New Content To Multiplayer Modes
At least they're doing DLC to add new things, unlike Game Freak who's completely clueless of reality and releases 3rd versions in 2019. And also cutting important content off their games.

Re: Two More NES Games Join The Nintendo Switch Online Service In August
@Galactus_33 NES games look a lot better than they did on Wii. Idk why you guys miss that lol and the games are “free” now.
Re: Two More NES Games Join The Nintendo Switch Online Service In August
Where’s Mother 1, Mach Rider, Excitebikr, Mysterious Murasame Castle and the Final Fantasy, Castlevania titles?

Hard pass. I am boycotting these games and I encourage people to do the same.
Don’t settle for less, fight for more.
