This isn't all that convincing to me, but I didn't need to be convinced. I've been saying this will probably happen since the game first launched! This particular datamined doesn't really prove anything, though.
Makes sense that they didn't give the full soundtrack yet, given that there's no doubt a song on there called "INSERT FINAL BOSS NAME HERE" and nobody wants to get spoiled like that!
This is a great update! Not only can we have Blue Shell only races, but we can spam Kamek Orbs, too!! Honestly, a lot of QoL changes here, I'm glad to see it. Also... They added the titles of the songs, so... Shed Guy now needs to get new pics before we can get the OST on Nintendo Music?! Ughhhh! XD
Sounds like a fantastic game! I'm going to pass on it for now due to business in general, and my already over flowing backlog, but I definitely want to try it eventually! (I mean, I said the same about MP1R, and still haven't gotten around to that one, but hopefully this doesn't suffer the same fate...)
@AlanaHagues nice read, but there are an unusually large number of typographical errors (and odd word choies) in this one... You may want to have someone run through it really quickly to fix 'em! (Sorry to bug you, maybe this is just a "me" thing.)
Oh, If love to do this! Unfortunately, my current job leaves me little time for such things, and given that I've recently begun my own YouTube channel, I'd rather focus on growing my audience there before trying (and, honestly, probably failing) on a larger platform.
I just began using Pikmik Bloom, and now I can see why people like the series. The Pikmin are so cute! But... Now I am afraid to try the main games, cuz I don't think I could handle my plant children dying! 😆
I am nowhere near good enough to pull off a WR run, especially not with such a trick maneuver, but it's awesome to see a new technique be found this late in the game!
@JimNorman could there be an option in the poll for "Yes, as soon as I can!" or something like that? I forgot today was the launch day, and none of the option present that very well lol.
I'm still working through the base content, since my work schedule has left me with very little playtime — but i am super excited for more! It's an awesome game, so far!!
@marandahir I actually did have a ton of SkyLanders as a kid, including the SwapForce line! I've since sold them (which, I'll be honest, I somewhat regret), but thanks for the suggestion nonetheless!
I would absolutely get similar characters (IE swappable figures) for that price, but since I'm personally not interested in Kirby Air Riders (or the series in general), I'll pass on these ones.
@Gatorclops I love Canadian accents, so I can deal with the unnecessary *U*s if it means the next game can give us some of that Northern America flavor!
@coolioam I believe @Dom_31 was saying that these outfits were nowhere near as bad as the One Piece costumes, though I suppose it's possible they were saying the two were equal.
@ArcanineLink Yes! I'm an American, myself, but I'd love to see localization split between the two big English-speaking groups. That would help give a bit more variety to the voice acting and dialogue, hopefully.
I'm excited! I have never seen either of the actors before, so I won't comment on them, but the fits are pretty good! I just wish Zelda's dress has something to break up the monotony of the blue - maybe a bit of gold, or even just leather. That said, it's still looking nice - and I like that they have both characters wearing the colors of their respective Triforce pieces.
To the Star Letter-writer in our midst — I was not aware that other gaming grammarians were out there! It's a blessing to know I am not the only one of our kind.... "For all intensive purposes," I'd say we are no longer an endangered species of one!
Oh yeah, this is happening. If I have time I'll try to download it and play, but honestly? Odds are I'll just make some more headway on Age of Imprisonment instead.
@JohnnyMind Ah, fair enough! Once you get caught up, BOTLO for Splatoon Raiders - that one's already shaping up to be amazing (yes, I am indoctrinating you into our fandom before you've even played a game lol)!
So hyped! I got to work just after this was announced, and my coworker came sprinting over to me and went "DID YOU HEAR?" And the best part is, I knew just what he meant! Always nice to have friends like that lol.
I read a few of those bullet points, and they are nice improvements, but BOY was I worried for a minute that there wouldn't be any stability changes! Luckily, it was there at the very end! Phew!
I am loving it so far! The gameplay is fun moment-to-moment, and the cutscenes are solid! It's expanding upon TotK's story greatly, and I am excited to finish it out!I have it a 9, which is 1000% due to recency bias, but whatever. 😂
@N00BiSH ah, I only saw the one where you said you didn't care for Banaza's voice acting. I honestly just skim over the comments, so I missed your second one lol.
@N00BiSH interesting... I felt like Pauline was great in Bananza! There were one or two awkward lines, but given that there are (probably) around 500 or so lines, that's not bad at all!
Everyone has done a great job! Even some of the clunkier lines are still delivered pretty, well, and I love seeing how excited the VAs are to be a part of this game! It's super fun thus far. My only problem is that every time Sonia speaks, all I can hear is Hekla! 😂
Normally I am on the closing shift at work, but tomorrow I am getting off early for the first time in months - it lined up so perfectly! Can't wait to dive in!
Lucky Launch was my favorite minigame for a long time and I don't know why lol! Glad to see it get some love here. I actually thought of Vampire Survivors when I read the headline, thanks to having just recently gotten it - I have yet to get the big show mentioned here, but I have unlocked a few characters, and those come with their own explosive light shows

Re: Is Mario Kart World Getting Donkey Kong Bananza DLC? Datamines Have Fans Speculating
This isn't all that convincing to me, but I didn't need to be convinced. I've been saying this will probably happen since the game first launched! This particular datamined doesn't really prove anything, though.
Re: Japanese Charts: Well, Look At Who's Snuck Back Into First Place
Glad to see HW:AoI is still selling, even if it's not the absolute chart-topper.

Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.4.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Stormkyleis as much as I am tired of the excessive hate towards MKW, your comment did indeed make me chuckle — kudos!

Re: Drag x Drive Devs Tried Wheelchair Basketball In Prep For Game
@JohnnyMind lovely pun 😂 it's not a slam dunk of a game, but it's certainly a nice layup
Re: Drag x Drive Devs Tried Wheelchair Basketball In Prep For Game
@AlanaHagues of course! Thank you for making the edits, and sorry to bother you lol

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Update 1.0.2 Patch Notes - New Quests, Weapons And Battles Added
@MetalHawk I would kill for a Koume/Kotake quest! It would be super neat — imagine controlling both at once, sort of like an unending sync strike!
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Update 1.0.2 Patch Notes - New Quests, Weapons And Battles Added
@anoyonmus Absolutely! It's a great game on its own, and in fact, playing it without knowledge of TotK's story might even make certain aspects better!
Re: Pikmin Bloom's New Gold Seedling Delivery Has A Mysterious 'Close To You' Connection
I just began using Pikmik Bloom, and now I can see why people like the series. The Pikmin are so cute! But... Now I am afraid to try the main games, cuz I don't think I could handle my plant children dying! 😆

Oh, I forgot about this one! I'll have to snag it later today...!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES And Game Boy Library With Four More Titles
@Waluigi451 I'd love a new one... But give us a full remaster/remake/port (idk what the difference is lol, whichever one is best) of Uprising first!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES And Game Boy Library With Four More Titles
@abbyhitter genuine question here, what would be in a good update (in your opinion)?
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES And Game Boy Library With Four More Titles
Sooo... This means a Kid Icarus: Uprising port is coming soon, right? Right?! Please!!!
Re: Huge Super Mario 64 Trick That Will Change Speedruns "Forever" Has Been Discovered
I am nowhere near good enough to pull off a WR run, especially not with such a trick maneuver, but it's awesome to see a new technique be found this late in the game!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting A Copy Of Rosalina's Storybook?
@JimNorman could there be an option in the poll for "Yes, as soon as I can!" or something like that? I forgot today was the launch day, and none of the option present that very well lol.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 21.0.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@SuperBro64 but... But now what pointless and likely not-funny comment am I supposed to leave here?! What do I do now?! Someone tell me! Please!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The New Kirby Air Riders amiibo?
@Zeebor15 I wouldn't say price cuts are inevitable... Unlike Thanos, the Switch never got a price decrease, nor did its games.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The New Kirby Air Riders amiibo?
@marandahir I actually did have a ton of SkyLanders as a kid, including the SwapForce line! I've since sold them (which, I'll be honest, I somewhat regret), but thanks for the suggestion nonetheless!

Re: Vampire Survivors Is Getting A Bonkers-Looking Dungeon Crawler Spin-Off
So, I've never played Slay the spire or Balatro... But I have played far too many games of VS. So, yes, VC will be an easy buy for me!

Re: Mailbox: 3D Mario Predictions, Gaming Redemptions, Grammar Talk - Nintendo Life Letters
@FishyS The term began as "I couldn't care less," as in the one speaking doesn't care at all. Over time, the wording changed, but the meaning did not.

I'm quite excited for this one! My only hope is that they don't have the Rock play Ganondorf lol
Re: Rumour: Zelda Movie Production Set Footage Has Supposedly Leaked Online
@SBandy1 I still need to get around to that show, I've heard good things though!
Re: Rumour: Zelda Movie Production Set Footage Has Supposedly Leaked Online

Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
It's a tad uncanny, but if we all got used to the first movie's character designs, we can get used to this one's.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Voice Actors Officially Revealed
@N00BiSH interesting... I felt like Pauline was great in Bananza! There were one or two awkward lines, but given that there are (probably) around 500 or so lines, that's not bad at all!
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Voice Actors Officially Revealed
Everyone has done a great job! Even some of the clunkier lines are still delivered pretty, well, and I love seeing how excited the VAs are to be a part of this game! It's super fun thus far. My only problem is that every time Sonia speaks, all I can hear is Hekla! 😂

Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Firework Sequence In A Video Game?
Lucky Launch was my favorite minigame for a long time and I don't know why lol! Glad to see it get some love here.

Re: Poll: Is The Latest Metroid Prime 4 Trailer Teasing Another Legacy Character?
I saw the subheading and, as a non-Metroid-fan, I thought it was a tease for King K. Rool lol!
