I almost cried when I saw my little guy Chibi-Robo on screen! 😭 Not to mention online F-Zero GX, both (very rare/expensive) Pokemon games, Soulcalibur, and Fire Emblem! I'm awestruck. I don't care that it's part of a subscription, Chibi still got recognized 🥹
Sony fanboys gonna be real mad at this (I expect it'll likely be a timed exclusive anyways) 😂 Seriously looks amazing, and I'm a big Fromsoft fan as it is!
Hopefully a potential FF9 Remake doesn't completely alter and/or overcomplicate the existing plotline, stuff in a bunch of unnecessary generic open world padding, alter the combat, and dump in an obscene amount of sighing into the dialogue...😏
@Ulysses Oh no doubt, this was a fandom overreaction from the start and I saw that a mile away 😂 My comment was more directed at the reaction to his tweet, not the tweet itself.
I highly doubt the Steam Deck will run this game, and even if it manages to pull it off, it'll be on the most potato visual settings possible (while running in hair dryer mode). So while we don't know Switch 2 specs yet, I think that's a decently fair benchmark to compare it to. Better to kick back and wait for a timed switch exclusive MH title instead 😎
But my Wii copy has the funny watermark cover and...I already own it, so why would I double dip? Kamiya is a silly fellow. Too bad I'm no longer on X, then I could get blocked by him for saying this.
Loved this game on Vita, buying day one on Steam! It's a slow burn at the start, really limits what you can do and punishes you for everything, but once you unlock fast travel the pacing improves.
I admit I hadn't booted the original app in some time (especially since New Horizons released), but I'm all for app preservation, so I supported this. Now that my wife has more or less taken over my New Horizons island, I'll return to the RV life 😉
HOLD IT! From the M&L Brothership Nintendolife review: "Easily the best Mario and Luigi RPG yet." Proceeds to get outranked by every other Mario and Luigi game 🤔 Not saying the ranking is necessarily wrong (I haven't played all of the M&L games personally), but I smell a contradiction 🤨
As a Banana Rumble skeptic on release, I can say with confidence this game has solid single player content. I was expecting to be annoyed by the spin-dash, but it's implemented well and makes finding speedrun tactics very fun (something I didn't dabble too much with on the original two games considering the lives limit)!
Somebody got tired of twinking on Dark Souls and decided Mario Party players are their next victims 😆 When I first played Jamboree last weekend I thought to myself "how annoying would it be if you maxed out the dice rolling time on every turn" (I swear ITS NOT ME 😭).
I'll definitely be leaning towards Steam or PS5 on this one, but I remember it being a great time back in the day. Cool protag, funny writing. The gameplay and level design can be hit or miss, but I love Grasshopper games too much to care. Maybe we'll see a remaster of Killer is Dead next (my favorite next to No More Heroes)?
This went from hype to bummer after seeing the random selection on offer here. I suppose if you just want to reach into the SNK hat and get a taste of their library, this is for you. For anyone looking for a comprehensive collection, this isn't it.
This show is so campy and fun! Makes me want to bust out my DVD copy. I remember I got it from an old point redemption program online, maybe it was GameStop Rewards?
I'm enjoying it so far! The translation needs work (it's more funny than progress-halting), and progress can be a little slow at the start, but the rewards for completing stages are nice (there's also a fair bit of challenge!). I'm interested to see how they expand on it over time 😁
@Vivianeat 8ET3VPKUGM
@Greatluigi I played through Zip Lash earlier this year and enjoyed it! The whole level-roulette system is completely unnecessary for sure, but it's still easy to get the desired number and not replay stages...Still a sad way for the series to go out though😔 Also special mention to the awesome final boss fight.
This is great! While I still want at least a remastered port of the first Chibi-Robo, this is more than welcome. I'm very interested to see how a solar-powered battery pack alters the gameplay in place of the classic plug tail.
Too bad that they still can't nail the balance of solid single player and multiplayer content. I'll consider it on a sale.
To clarify, is the campaign solo-only? Part of what also made multiplayer fun in the first two games was playing the main game together.
I love this game on 3DS, but now that they have confirmed Switch won't have the Zelda or Puzzle & Dragons content, I'll go with Steam for the performance boost.
I'm also on the side that $60 is excessive for this, but the updates do sound nice. My biggest concern comes with how often you were whisked away from a mansion by E. Gadd when you completed an objective in the 3DS version, so I assume that'll still be the case here.
@Axecon Wth is an "accurate score" in game reviews? They're all subject to opinion, these aren't hard-coded figures 🤔 This meta critic mentality seems exhausting.
Daaang well I guess I'll play on another platform then for the performance bump. Maybe PC for the Steam Deck portability! Also hoping for a way to revert to no voices. I love MH and MH Stories, but I can't handle dubbed Navirou 😔
It took me a long time, but I've grown to appreciate this entry. I found the more you play it like a fast-paced action game and less like RE, the better of a time you'll have. Plus the Switch version exclusively allows alternate outfits for campaign mode!
I just need to know if the Zelda DLC will be part of the Switch port or if the Amiibo functionality is intact. If neither (assuming this is the case bring based off of the mobile port), then I may go PC or PS5 instead...
The design idea is neat here, and I love a good clear case, but the missing HD rumble/NFC/motion and movement of face buttons is a hard pass. If I found one on a deep discount I'd consider it to display, but that's it.

Good thing this was followed by a barrage of amazing news, because that word PAID at the end of this trailer was a spit in the face 💀

Re: Fromsoftware's The Duskbloods Looks Like Bloodborne 2, Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026

Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
I can't believe they are doing this! I love the first Air Ride so much, I'm still in disbelief 😭❤️

Re: Random: Sakurai Sends Fans Into Meltdown Ahead Of Switch Direct
Truly was a misdirect. I too want Kid Icarus to come back...maybe on Switch 2 😔
Re: A New Tomodachi Life Game Is Coming To Switch Next Year
The Miis are alive. Pretty wild. Here's hoping Switch 2's Mii Maker isn't so soulless.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
Nintendo is cooking for sure! 😵 Time to throw out wild speculations. Monster Hunter classic collection! The return of Chibi-Robo?! 😏

Re: Random: Final Fantasy Is The Next Magic: The Gathering Crossover, Here's A First Look
They have some cool art for sure, even if one of the cards is kinda spreading misinformation 😅 No I will not elaborate 👀
Re: Random: Hideki Kamiya Would Rather You Not Play Okami On The Wii

Re: So, Have You Pre-Ordered Donkey Kong Country Returns HD For Switch?
Not pre-ordering, but I enjoyed this on 3DS, so I'll get it later down the line (and at a discount).
Re: Review: Freedom Wars Remastered (Switch) - A Fair Reprieve For One Of PS Vita's Best
Loved this game on Vita, buying day one on Steam! It's a slow burn at the start, really limits what you can do and punishes you for everything, but once you unlock fast travel the pacing improves.
Re: Poll: Does Anyone Actually Use The Switch Joy-Con Straps?
I only bust them out for Skyward Sword, otherwise nope! And even then, it's just for the added grip, not the strap itself.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Okami
I specifically bought a Wii copy of Okami for my shelf because of the IGN watermark incident 😅 No doubt Japan has an overall better design though.
Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete Is Available Now On Mobile
I admit I hadn't booted the original app in some time (especially since New Horizons released), but I'm all for app preservation, so I supported this. Now that my wife has more or less taken over my New Horizons island, I'll return to the RV life 😉
Re: Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble Update Will Add First-Person Mode
I'm actually most excited for this "quick try" feature 😅 Making attempts to speedrun levels sounds like it'll be more seamless!
Re: Best Mario RPGs Of All Time
@darkswabber @Sonicka Fair points both! My comment was more of a joke, hence the ace attorney quote 😅 But that does explain it for sure.
Re: Best Mario RPGs Of All Time

Re: Fortnite's 'OG' Map Is Making A Return, And It's "Here To Stay"
Crazy to think how this game would have faded to obscurity if they didn't decide to emulate PUBG.
Re: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble Scores A Switch eShop Demo
As a Banana Rumble skeptic on release, I can say with confidence this game has solid single player content. I was expecting to be annoyed by the spin-dash, but it's implemented well and makes finding speedrun tactics very fun (something I didn't dabble too much with on the original two games considering the lives limit)!

Re: Review: Shadows Of The Damned: Hella Remastered (Switch) - Cult Shooter Returns As Fun-But-Flawed As Ever

Re: Freedom Wars Remastered Japanese Switch Box Art Revealed, Here's A First Look
I dig it, this box art rips. I'll be buying on Steam, but if I was getting it on console this would be an awesome case for the shelf!
Re: Christmas Comes Early In This Blatant Super Mario Bros. 3 Clone
Reminds me of the Newgrounds flash games I played as a kid 😅

Re: Pokémon-Inspired RPG 'Coromon' Is Getting A Roguelite Spin-Off
I wasn't interested in the original game, but fan games have proven rogue elements in Pokemon work very well. So I'll keep an eye on this one!
Re: Review: Shadow Of The Ninja - Reborn (Switch) - A Beautiful, Brutal Return To 8-Bit Basics
I hope Wrath of the Black Manta gets similar love some day 😆 The other OTHER NES ninja game!
Re: 'Castlevania Dominus Collection' Brings Three DS Classics To Switch Today
Super surprised and excited! 😬
Re: The New Denpa Men Surpasses 100,000 Downloads In One Day

Re: Feature: 9 'Mature' Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch Online's New N64 App
Resident Evil 2 is such a cool port, that one absolutely gets my vote.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
A limit of 3 choices is cruel 😤 This was such a strong Direct I'm still processing everything.
Re: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Completes Series In The West This September
@anoyonmus I stray away from leaks when at all possible. It allows me to be excited during presentations like this! 😁
Re: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Completes Series In The West This November
This was an incredible surprise in an already fantastic Direct! It's great to have all of the Ace Attorney series in one place!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Monster Hunter Stories For Switch?
I love this game on 3DS, but now that they have confirmed Switch won't have the Zelda or Puzzle & Dragons content, I'll go with Steam for the performance boost.
Re: Hands On: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Delivers More Than Just A Hi-Def Upgrade

Re: Sonic And Co. Roll Into 'Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble' With The 'SEGA Pass' DLC
I'm already approaching this game with trepidation due to the lack of several classic party games, so announcing paid DLC already isn't helping 😮💨

Re: Feature: Monster Hunter Stories' Producer Talks Collaborative Development, Confirms Zelda DLC Isn't Included On Switch
Daaang well I guess I'll play on another platform then for the performance bump. Maybe PC for the Steam Deck portability! Also hoping for a way to revert to no voices. I love MH and MH Stories, but I can't handle dubbed Navirou 😔
Re: Resident Evil 6 Has Sold Over 1 Million Copies On Nintendo Switch
It took me a long time, but I've grown to appreciate this entry. I found the more you play it like a fast-paced action game and less like RE, the better of a time you'll have. Plus the Switch version exclusively allows alternate outfits for campaign mode!
Re: Video: Capcom Shows Off New Monster Hunter Stories Gameplay Footage
I just need to know if the Zelda DLC will be part of the Switch port or if the Amiibo functionality is intact. If neither (assuming this is the case bring based off of the mobile port), then I may go PC or PS5 instead...
Re: Review: PDP Pikmin REALMz Wireless Controller For Switch - Cute, But Hardly The Pik Of The Bunch

Re: Random: Another Banjo-Kazooie Funko Pop Is On The Horizon, But It's Still Pretty Horrifying
These always remind me of all the "button-eyed" people in Coraline 🤣 If you meet this version of Banjo, you aren't safe!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door For Switch?
Got it preordered. I'm late to the Paper Mario party, but I'm playing through 64 right now and can't wait to see why TTYD is so hyped!
