Wow……that’s unprecedented.

After the slow DLC drip that was 8 Deluxe and playing it so much I have literally zero hype for this.

Quoting Michael Prachter immediately make you lose all credibility in this argument. This guy has been so wrong about a great many things for years on end. However these days you really can only take anything these anal-ysts say at face value anymore.

“Hey we are gonna charge you to learn about this system you just dumped a lot of money on”….. Nintendo nickel and diming us. EA is so proud.

Well they obviously learned nothing…given their approach to things this time around they’ll probably charge for themes later on…

Where’s the Nintendo Life article on how to breathe? I’m sooooooo lost with out it.

Congrats to Nintendo to finally making me a PC only gamer after being invested in this for 40 years. Ridiculous! https://insider-gaming.com/nintendo-switch-2-games-will-cost-80-for-digital-90-for-physical/. It’s not that I can’t afford it but it’s a little too much for what you actually get. We have to draw the line somewhere. I have two kids I still need to pay for the college education…

@1UP-HUSKY that’s like 97.71 USD. If that’s the case I’m pretty sure I’m done with gaming at this point. That or I’m going to be PC only gamer.

I honestly didn’t see anything that got me excited. It’s just a bunch of stuff I’ve already been playing on Steam mixed with a few new Nintendo games that still have the same aesthetic as they did on GameCube/Wii/Wi U. Like there’s not much graphical upgrade to them. I’m not even sure if I want to preorder now until I see something that I just GOT to play. My FOMO is non-existent at the moment. The launch lineup is incredibly underwhelming. What’s funny is that they were showcasing the chat feature when everyone else has been doing it for like 25 years (first games I used voice extensively was StarCraft and Halo 2 over 20 years ago).

LOL nice try Nintendo Life! April Fools was yesterday, silly!

LOL Ubisoft trying to recoup some of that loss…

Well that didn’t take long. At least it didn’t drop as hard as Snow White…

I don’t find X difficult to navigate at all…🙄

I love the “aka a trilogy” because we’re not smart enough to figure that out. 🙄 Anyway, of course they are shooting in New Zealand but somehow I doubt this captures the same magic as LotR…I would love be wrong though. Also, I think it’s risky going with Sony.

@Dee123 well you know what they say about opinions. If not feel free to look it up but really, politics have no place on a gaming site.

@Dee123 America has about as many morons as any other country honestly. We don’t have a monopoly, I promise.

@johnedwin but I’m not. I said I wished for a watered down version and even said it was wishful thinking…and I have several friends with “decent” computers that runs Wilds just fine. We all play together quite frequently. These devs aren’t going to release software that requires so much power that it out specs the majority of PC gamers. Not a good strategy.

@johnedwin people saying it takes a strong computer to play Wilds are misleading others. I have a good pc, yes, but it’s like two years old and I only consider it “mid” to be honest and it plays Wilds just fine without any spec tweaking.

I’ll be 44 this year. Having lived through many console launches I have to say that I don’t really get excited for them anymore. The last one I was genuinely excited for was probably 3DS (this is counting consoles from other companies as well…I pretty much have them all). After awhile you learn that the newness eventually fades and it’s all just the wash, rinse, and repeat method: new console releases, buy new shiny console, buy games, play games, wish for a new console after awhile, new console releases, buy shiny new console, buy games, etc… Will I preorder it? Yes however it still feels like Nintendo releasing already outdated tech. I understand they have to release it at a point it’s accessible to the average consumer price wise. What I hope to see out of the Direct are what new features it brings to the table. Sure we saw that mouse functionality thing but it looks awkward and not really a selling point in my opinion. As for games, I would like to see Metroid Prime released as a steelbook with all 4 games but I don’t see that happening so I would gladly take the trilogy and 4 separate in their own steelbooks. I know this is wishful thinking but perhaps a watered down, working port of Monster Hunter Wilds. I play it on PC and would love to play it when I travel. It just doesn’t work that well with my Steam Deck.

@Henmii Nintendo wants to be able to sell you the same games over and over and over because they know there are many people gullible enough to do it.

Probably an unpopular opinion but none of them. I’m tired of giving Nintendo money over and over again for the same games. The only one I would actually welcome with open arms at the moment isn’t even from Switch but Wii U which would be Wind Waker HD. I’d love to have a portable version and why we didn’t get it is beyond me. Nintendo ported everything under the sun from Wii U to Switch BUT that game it would seem.

Getting a preorder in for a new console always gives me anxiety… scalpers suck.

I hate it. Why do they have to do things so strangely? Don’t reinvent the wheel on everything. Apply the “kiss” principle we adhere to in the programming world: “Keep It Simple Stupid”.

My opinion. Call off your wolves.

I can’t get behind the idea that dev kits aren’t in the hands of developers yet. June release, fine. I can believe that. The phased approach for games? That sounds ludicrous. If true I’m starting to think upgrading my Steam Deck to ROG Ally X might be the better way to go.

@Yosher are you the Yosher who use to write for GoNintendo (you might still but I don’t frequent that site anymore)?

My time with Civilization VII has inspired me to return to a better game, Civilization VI which I have all the DLC for. I’ll also be dipping into some Helldivers 2.

The game that kept me sane during the “pandemic”. For that I am eternally grateful. This game will always hold a special place in my memories.

The majority of the USA says we are fine with this.

I’m loving the game on Steam. This game has been my daily “go to”. It’s also inspired me learn the duduk (I love music and play several instruments already like guitar and trumpet).

43 year old here and did I miss something? I have mostly good memories playing their games on my various consoles, especially my SNES and Genesis. Every company had their fair share of shovelware back then; still does today.

@Spider-Kev excluding Phil, Lance Henriksen was killed by a terminator, alien and predator.

H&!! YES!! Take my money!

But Nintendo is always so quick when it’s their own IP involved…surely they can be just as quick for the underdogs too?

Still riding that gravy train, huh?

Articles like these are silly and tired. It’s like saying my MacBook Pro has nothing to worry about from my new Microsoft Surface Pro…. They aren’t the same. I love my Steam Deck (I actually play it more than my Switch) and I love my Switch. With their powers combined (and my gaming PC) I pretty much have all gaming covered. Owning one and not the other you’re kinda missing out and some people are okay with that.

Put me down for Tron. Been a fan of Tron for almost all of my 43 years.

@Novamii I agree! Outrage culture is all the rage these days.

That’s nuts. Almost the price George sold Star Wars/Lucasfilm to Disney for. 🤯

Playing on PC and I’m loving it. Got the early release and have racked up many, many hours on it already. Looking forward to what’s to come!

I opted for the Steam version over the Switch. It performs better when compared to my son’s copy of Civ VII on Switch. If a dedicated Switch 2 version is released I’ll probably get it but atm I’m not even sure if I’m going to be an early adopter or not which is weird for me given I’ve purchased all Nintendo systems on day one since the SNES. The NES was a couple years before my parents decided to buy me one.

Been playing the early release on Steam since the first day. I’m enjoying it. Looking forward to the massive amounts of patches/updates the devs have in the works.

Little slow on the uptick. This statement was released on Feb 6. Kinda old news at this point.

The game has been getting a lot of hate on the Steam reviews due to UI issues along with many other things and rightfully so however I’ve been playing early access since day 1 and I’m finding it enjoyable. Civ 6 had issues right at launch but with patches and DLC it turned out being a pretty solid entry. Same with Civ 5 if I remember correctly. I’m looking forward to watching this game grow and improve granted some of these things could have been included right out of the gate. The statement was released in response to all the bad flak the game has been getting. If you buy early just keep in mind it’s going to take some time to iron out all the kinks otherwise just enjoy it for what it is. Still, Firaxis and 2K should be ashamed charging what they did for the early access.

Civilization VII On PC. Despite the mixed reviews it’s still a great game and if everyone recalls Civ VI (a great game) also had launch issues.

69 you say? Any particular reason that number was specifically chosen? 🤔

I can’t wait to either scratch up a table by rubbing an awkward mouse all over it or have to always have a mouse pad on standby….

Civ 7 is the only right answer. I’m torn on getting it on Switch or Steam though.

Please consider continuing to link to X.

I really hope so! I played this the very first day it came out….tons of good memories with it! Still have my DC also!
