@Dr_Corndog Someone who does not know Croatia came second in the world cup is unlikely to care about this news. And someone who buys Fifa so shortly after launch probably already knows that Croatia are one of the best teams in the world. Anyhow I had read the story earlier on Eurogamer, and this was the headline: Why World Cup runners-up Croatia aren't in FIFA 19 Sounds like a more informative, more professional headline to me. From what we have on NL is only a short step to "What national teams AREN'T in FIFA, number 3 will AMAZE you"
What is the point of this news? As a gamer, and not an investor, I do not see why marginal fluctuations in Nintendo's share prices should concern me in the slightest. You don't see any other gaming website routinely reporting how Sony's and Microsoft's stock prices are faring either.
They could go with a smaller, lighter, cheaper Switch, without detachable joy cons or even a dock. This way many existing games in the library of Switch could be carried over with minimal cost and they would not have to divide their development resources.
I've bought a 3DS only last month and oh boy is being a late adopter great. A huge library of great games at your disposal for very affordable prices. Between Nintendo Selects, rewards and sales, I have spent the equivalent of two new Switch retail games to get 9 or 10 great award-winning titles for the handheld. Fun times!
"it will feature direct connectivity with the AR game that allows one to trade Pokémon back and forth between games." Maybe back, but not forth. You can only move Poke'mon from your phone to your Switch and not vice versa.
@Akropolon indeed it is strange. Pokemon Go also generated something around one billion$ in revenue. It is no Battlefield or Metal Gear Solid, the development costs cannot possibly be that high to eat all that. Someone is bagging all the money!
I am playing Donkey Kong Country Returns on 3ds for the first time, and it is one of the best platformers I've ever played. How would you rate Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze against it? Is it as good?
Hello guys! I am getting a 2ds XL this week, any thoughts on what should I play first?
Some background info: I have a Switch, but had not owned a Nintendo console since the NES. I love story-driven games and RPGs, and am equally fond of games with cutsy or dark themes. BOTW is one of the best games I have ever played.

Re: Random: Here's Why One Of The World's Best National Teams Isn't In FIFA 19
@Baker1000 I agree. Nintendo Life is a lovely place and I would hate to see it descend to that level.
