@eaglesfly76 Huh. Maybe I will try it out again. (I love platformers, NSMBW is literally my childhood lol, but I also have objectively bad taste in just about everything haha)
I know this isn't technically the same, but I am wondering: Everyone hails DKC:TF as (and this is a quote) "The greatest 2D platformer of all time. What makes it so amazing?? I borrowed it once on Switch, played 3 levels, and gave it back because I was not enjoying it. Is it a slow starting game or something??
As someone who has 0 streaming services (Netflix, Disney +, etc.) I can say that as much as I would have loved VC in that I would "own" the games, it is still only a digital copy. Subscription services like NSO can remove games, yes, but having it digitally is not really any safer (as proven by Concord) and is far more costly. I will gladly drop my yearly payment of ~50 bucks for NSO+, thank you very much.
@dartmonkey Actually, there is an arm-wing minifig piece already. So it wouldn't have cost any extra to add it to Celeste's 'fig. In addition, there are posable short legs, which this set opted not to use. Just wanted to put that out there.
That subtitle got me dying lol This looks legit, can't wait for the reveal! My current Switch OLED is having issues so now I have more reasons to upgrade! Though going back to an LCD screen is terribly disappointing.
While the game has its issues, I have been playing since it launched on Switch and absolutely adore it! My friends and I actually play this more than Animal Crossing, which is the only other sim we play at all.
@Slobbert Yes, but they are mostly "reruns" in that they are technically new themes but mostly recycled, we are only getting the seasonal ones, the gear is only returning stuff, and we don't get new TriColor stages.
Got an 11/14 on my first try! Also, @nintendolife Question 9 is oddly worded IMO. Perhaps "Which of these 2024 apps launched first?" As is, I thought it meant which one first came out this year, so since ACPCC was a rerelease and PTGP is not exactly original, I voted Nintendo Music. Just a thought.
Hey, I got my GIF I there whoop whoop!! @pluckthedragon I honestly don't hate the Sportsmate, I find them super cute! But Smashmates? I'll pass, thnks. @metacrystal I love analyzing VGM, and I like trying to make my own piano arrangements of OSTs! What instruments do you play?
March is pretty late, whereas January is so close to Christmas that kids who finally got a Switch will feel like they are instantly outdated. February gets (and has had for the past year) my bet.
This makes me so happy.... I was worried tomorrow's Gachi King Cup Finals would give us a FrostyFest announcement, but now we have yet another reason to believe it will be 3rd kits!! And that also sways my decision.... Team Experiences for me!
This looks... janky? I won't assume "Splatoon ripoff = bad" but this does not seem to have the same level of care or effort put into it as Splatoon does.
Nooooo! I love the Inkopoils Memorial Mixtape! I listened to it 5 times already yesterday... But I didn't download it, so... I guess now it's too late.

Re: Best Of 2024: Splatoon 3's 'Grand Festival' Was The Perfect Goodbye
@Slobbert It is not clickbait if they are using the exact words of Nintendo. Get mad at the advertisers, but not NLife.
Re: Best Of 2024: Splatoon 3's 'Grand Festival' Was The Perfect Goodbye
