Always heard about this one. I don't feel I'm a picky person but I haven't adjusted to playing GB(A) games on the Switch. Maybe it's a lack of proper D-pad or feeling more 'at home' on a GB console, but I'm just not big on GB games on Switch

@Zuljaras ah I see, I was thinking incorrectly. I was thinking how you needed like a Xbox gamepass or something to play with friends, which you don't need to play solo (and I eventually found out ). Unlike what you're saying which yeah is really annoying.

Hoping it does come to S2 with offline, I don't get much use of the XS and would love to have it on a Nintendo system

@Zuljaras correct me if I'm wrong but you can play D4 offline on XS now? I thought I needed online but realized it's fine without. Maybe my definition isn't the same but I thought it possible.

Waiting on some games in the mail so started a new playthrough of Tactics Ogre in the meantime. Also made it deep into Golfinite, there's a pretty big difficulty spike by the 4th tourney so I'm curious if I'll throw in the towel or barrel through it. Have a great weekend everyone!

@EarthboundBenjy @Tyranexx thanks for the input, ordered the physical last night

Wonder why Mario vs DK was retailed at $50 (among others, I believe?) but this one gets the full 60. Probably a pass for me here, sale or not

@TechaNinja thank you for the response, great to know. Looking forward to it moreso now

@TechaNinja hi - can you also please see my question above since you seem to be very knowledgeable about the series?

@Tyranexx would you see any issue on getting this having never played an Ys game? I saw a brief gameplay video and really looked my style, curious if lack of context would matter

@Princess_Lilly part of me wants the same too, though perhaps not for the same reason. My friend and I just seemed to be paired with lots of novices and/or scrubs and I'm no professional by any means. Had a blast anyway

Edit* i dont mean to sound mean about scrubs, but just baffling and non-strategic gameplay from teammates is all

@onlyonemello exactly, obviously everyone on here has played it. But 15 years is enough time for some people to have kids of their own who haven't touched a 3ds or wii. Nintendo is definitely charging 60 for that, especially since DK is kinda "in" with the theme park and Mario movie stuff

I wish Kate or someone would do a silly article about a random game they played. These Switch 2 news articles are tiresome

@GrailUK that's my thing - even if thousands of ppl are talking about it, there are millions of switch users who don't follow or doesn't hold too strong an interest, everyone's probably still playing with their holiday presents without a care

Super Metroid at #10 is respectable given the reviewers. And I personally enjoy Mario Kart 64 over Mk8. But yeah who cares about RS video game lists

@OldGamer999 i typically only play battle mode and I'm hoping for a more robust level selection in the next entry. Even the new DLCs didn't add any battle levels (to my understanding).

@Rainz i loved outer worlds as well, so funny and engaging. I first played on Switch and thought it was a fantastic port although loadscreens weren't super quick. Got it on sale with dlc on XS, looking forward to next playthru after having grasp on weapons, upgrades etc.

Did finish Final Fantasy 1 pixel remaster this week, fantastic athough I may have overleveled? Was quite the breeze outside of the final boss. Probably playing a little this and a little that before starting the next one. Have a great weekend folks

Wrapping up Final Fantasy 1 pixel remaster. Happy new year everyone!

Merry Christmas to all at NL

Can someone tell me whats the difference between an Xbox Series S and and Xbox Series X digital edition?

@Bunkerneath and top 3 to boot, not like it's clinging on. It's remarkable.

I like Sonic enough although not die hard fan. But wow this looks great. Have a feeling I'll order this on Xmas day while a bit tipsy

@-wc- the "cons" listed are pretty hefty overall, was surprised with the 8 as well

@DwaynesGames I'm in that camp. I totally get ppls frustration n such but as a whole new experience for me it truly makes no difference

Cracked open the Final Fantasy pixel remasters this week and started from the top. Have a good one everyone.

@Herman187 that's Keyzer from Wario Land 4

There's just too many darn games coming out, I can barely keep up. Looking for a NL review for this, hope it's a winner

@NeonPizza i don't disagree but I just think they're shooting for a way different demographic these days. I'm not sure how many commercials from back then were geared towards parents of kids and not just the kids/teens themselves. They could totally charm it up here, I agree, but they're trying to sell consoles to adults (who may have loved those 90s commercials or maybe have a stigma against games) just as much as to kids in some of these. I wouldn't expect a stormtrooper to bust thru the door is all, theyre totally laying into that "family console" angle. But yeah I agree, pretty forgettable

At the end of the 3rd mansion in Luigis Mansion 2. I must say my expectations were low for this game, I figure LM3 would have simply done everything better and I'd be left wanting more. Not the case for me at all and I love the switch up with it being level-based, bigger ghost selection and just the overall atmosphere. Just as good as LM3 and hopefully continue to enjoy

Got it for my 6th birthday a week after release. Still remember my older brother trying to pull a fast one on the car ride back and saying "hey if you let me play for an hour first you can have the SNES for as long as you want after." My response? I cried and Mom set the record straight. Lovely game and great memories playing it

Looks pretty good actually. To continue with the cartoon network references I'd say it also has some Courage the Cowardly Dog vibes. Hoping for an nl (mini) review

@mariomaster96 it looks like it sold 2K more than Mario vs DK and 50K less than Paper Mario TTYD in their opening weeks. Can't find Mario RPGs numbers but I'm inclined to agree with you. Not sure what the sales expectations were but doesn't seem out of this world

Just bought a couple new games (including FF pixel collection) so will probably hold off on this. Idk, I paid msrp for Tactics Ogre reborn and was so worth it to me having never played it. But $60 for an older jrpg (albeit remade) makes me hesitant, will likely get on sale whenever

I need to watch more Pikmin 4 playthrus to see if i'd get it. The demo didn't click w me simply because of the frequent cut scenes but now would be the time i suppose

Continuing Luigis Mansion 2, really hits the spot for my pace and mood lately

@-wc- not a reason why/why not just different perspective. If there was no BC I doubt I'd get it. I skipped out on owning a couple generations worth of hardware. Basically recouped what I previously owned and then some by a large margin, and I still don't own everything I'd like on Switch. I don't get bent out of shape about certain specs, tons of my games are already old and doubt I'd notice/care anyway. BC or not it'd take a lot (whether by system and/or new+unreleased games) for me to upgrade.

After getting my fill of online play from multiple games (which was a lot), nothing really hooked me to stay. I did enjoy checking titles I'd never played before plus all the classics are great but not enough for me to re-up

@Dpullam that's how I feel for the series. Definitely one I can admire and respect, but not really one I see myself enjoying when behind the controller. Happy for everyone who gets a chance for these though

I know ppl will love the 40 hr playtime but not so sure myself

@ViewtifulCool I think the writer knows that this review is his opinion? I'm not sure what the big reveal was besides saying he's bias

Picked up Luigis Mansion 2 HD last nite so time to get spookyyyy! Plus randomly played Mario Land 2 throughout the week and wrapping that up. Have a good one everyone

@Anti-Matter understood and thanks for the response. It's a shame Echoes didn't appeal to you, seemed like it might given your tastes but so be it.

I recently gave up on Skyward Sword out of disinterest so I get ya

@Anti-Matter I hear your point and see what you mean - as a 3rd party machine the ps5 sales aren't bad. Whats a little confusing is your no interest in 1st party games but you continue to review them on here in your Games section - like Zelda Echoes got a 5/10, is there a reason you do that? Not attacking at all, just curious

@Miss_Moon yes, i rewatched the launch and they had.

In the end im sure i prefer seeing the sprites. But having played earthbound in the past year or so I'm kinda down for something hybrid and this isn't a bother to me. Really looking fwd to it

@johnedwin you're not wrong and they show them here. I think they're just not visible when you do an action, but you see them while you're choosing what to do? Not sure why the changes in perspective

@Banjo- I'm the same and it's kind of a shame. I can't tell if this 'con' is a playful one not to be taken too seriously, but if not it's just kinda...stupid? There are other good reviews that I disagree with and make valid points in their assessment (pros+cons list). But stuff like this? Yeah hard to take seriously and hints at entitlement

@JohnnyMind if it means anything, the days in Stardew elapse pretty quickly. Completing a single day or two in a sitting still feels like small accomplishment even if you spent the day fishing. Just my two cents and fyi as you consider sneaking it in between other titles

A hill I'll die on is that Dracula X is not middling. In the grand scheme of how the Castlevanias were progressing and it being inferior to Rondo, sure, I get it's a letdown. But as a regular 2d scrolling Whip em up Castlevania it's very fun and short, plus easier than CV1

This looks fantastic, coming from someone with little to no MS experience and little tactics-games experience. Will keep an eye out for the physical

@Daniel36 yes that's the one! Wow in box, what a treat for everyone
