@antonvaltaz I still find it absolutely wild that people remember me! I had a chap recognise me in real life recently at the Switch 2 Experience. Bonkers! Cheers man ☺️

The IR sensor on the Wii Remote was definitely more accurate, but I was actually really impressed by the pointer controls on Metroid Prime Remastered. Does require you to recalibrate fairly often, but it's just a quick tap of the R or ZR Button.

In general, pointer/gyro controls are so much better for shooters than dual analog. I really struggle to understand anyone who argues otherwise. I can only put it down to stubbornness and/or laziness, quite honestly.

@joshuagamer That's the plan, Stan! 😎

@andykara2003 I was waiting for someone to get the Partridge reference. A-haaaaaa!

@SonOfDracula 98% of the time, my Switch was firmly tucked away in my backpack and I wasn't even thinking about it. But like I say in the article, sometimes you'll have huge bus and train journeys with not much to see, or airport delays. Trust me, I was a busy man; spent most of my time adventuring and socialising, but on a three month backpacking trip, you are gonna have some downtime. It's just the nature of it.

@The-Chosen-one Thank you! 😊

It me! Happy birthday, NLife, thanks for all the memories

Thought I'd dust off the old login one last time, such an occasion it is. Good luck with everything, old chum! You'll be a roaring success, no doubt

The British public is too miserable to enjoy Nintendo products.

The thing with the 8GB model is that, if you're planning on downloading games in any number, even the 32GB model is too small. No matter which version you get, you're going to need external storage at some point if you want to download more than two games, so it makes sense to just get the cheaper model and buy a 500GB HDD.

@PinkSpider Except this is Mario Kart, not Gran Turismo.

Ghirahim plz.

Remember, I like to have my stomach rubbed at least twice a week, and I enjoy dressing as a hamster.

I reckon this is a Rabbids game.

This is crazy stuff.

Diddy Kong. Yes. Just yes.

I'm in the Nintendo Life GP right now, and it's empty! C'mon guys!

Get well soon, Iwata-san!

If this was Gran Turismo, then yes, a second off a lap time is quite significant. In Mario Kart, though, presuming you're playing with all items on, I honestly can't see it making a shred of a difference.

Amazing.

Damn, I'm having a little launch party of my own on Friday night! I'll have to kick everyone out before midnight so I can get in on this.

@Andyjm That would be Qwertee. It was only available for a day, I'm afraid.

Northern? Moi?! Never!

I kind of...don't want a demo. Not sure why.

@rjejr The only spoilers are location spoilers - no story stuff to speak of

@justjoined You might want to stay tuned

I was all about dat magnum.

Guys, try watching this on a 32" display, as you would with the game itself, and tell me you can't see a difference.

Congratulations to the Welsh Wizard, and to the nicest man in videogame journalism!

I'm surprised Nintendo posted this to their Twitter feed, considering the negativity towards the Wii U in the video.

@Superstick There's also Sonic Lost World, Darksiders 2, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Black Ops II, The LEGO Movie Videogame, FIFA/Madden, NBA 2K13, Game & Wario, Wii Party U, Tekken Tag Tournament, The Amazing Spider-Man and a few others we had to leave out.

I did not authorise the sending of death threats.

Looks kinda rough. You can see there's issues with the Field of View, and obviously the static HUD looks kinda goofy. Still, hugely promising and I'd KILL for a proper VR Metroid Prime experience.

It's all about Thwomp Ruins.

"he was hit over the head with a flower pot. It's unknown if any Rupees were to be found inside."

Well done.

"Just think of paying 99 cents just to get Mario to jump a little higher"

Ohhhhh my word. I actually refuse to believe that ANYONE thinks this is a healthy, positive direction for the industry. That literally sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard.

Disappointed to see so much negativity re: the Wii U's library. There are actually five or six high profile games that we had to leave out. And this is just retail! We're hoping to do a separate video for eShop titles.

@Captain_Gonru This is just for retail titles. We're hoping to do a separate video for eShop titles in the near future.

@Nintonic Yes.

@Dark-Link73 Again, that's not our list! Just sayin'.

@vamkar Just to clarify, that's not our list.

The chicken was necessary.

Brian Blessed is a god.

@May_Nyan Here you go

Hi guys! Just to clear something up, here's what Thomas wrote in the original feature:

"Our aim with this list is to avoid speculative entries, but include titles stated to be coming in 2014, even if no specific date has been given; we're optimistic that all of these games will arrive this year. We'll update our list every three months, but long-absent titles such as the previously teased Yarn Yoshi don't make the cut this time around."

Hnnnng. Do want.

Guys, how many times? 7/10 is a GOOD GAME.

@Nik-Davies It's less about the technical skill, more about the foresight and vision.

@Nintendude789 What? No, it's for the Wii U eShop.

I know Shin'en are great developers, but I'm still not expecting this to look as good as WipEout HD at 1080p/60fps. Would love to be proved wrong.
