Everyone saw this coming, the Switch still feels fresh and new. From the beginning it was obvious that this system was going for the 10 year lifecycle just like DS & 3DS, but if it keeps doing this superbly well by the time it reaches the 10 year mark, it just might get extended further than that. There is even a chance that there might not even be any reason to ever replace this console, there is a possibility this might be the perfect Nintendo console and will just continue to get future upgrades and improvements instead, the OLED model is proof of that being a possibility.
There is a big difference with a "copy" of the game and a "code" of the game. That box clearly says it comes with a digital download of the game which means it is obviously not bundle with a copy of the game but instead a digital code of the game. Saying it like that can mislead a lot of people, please be more specific next time @ryancraddock
(That's just my feedback about that detail, I hope i didn't offend you, if I did then my apologies, that was not my intention)
Gary Bowser has brought shame to the Bowser name, I bet Dough Bowser, King Bowser, Prince Bowser Jr. and Gary Oak are all appalled by this man's actions. Tsk Tsk shame on him!
@immensechicken the game is in the Play Store, if you can't find it via search then is most likely cause the device you are using is not compatible. You are still able to access the Play store page via the Pikmin Bloom official website though.
That new Bowser suit model looks hideous, it almost looks like a pair of boobies on top of Daisy's head... why not stick to the original idea of having the character's heads on Bowser's body, it was way funnier that way, how disappointing.
I guess it will be impossible to unlock the extra GBC characters & courts in Mario Tennis without the transfer pak, and no more Pokémon Tower or any other GB Pokémon content in Stadium 1 & 2 either, how unfortunate.
I actually considered doing the same in multiple times but with Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble, this unorthodox method is literally the only way to stream gyro controlled Game Boy games, you can't really control them well with emulators and is impossible to game capture Game Boys so this literally is the only way to legitimately stream these games which is hilarious. 😂
@miniMewtwo that isn't how I ment it, but you are right about that. Unfortunately 7 out of the 8 people in the family plan is likely to not pay their share, and any working adults in that group will just be mooching off of whoever's payment info is tied to the subscription account.
(not that I am one to complain since I am doing that exact same thing too 😅)
I was just giving a broken down example of it, how people choose to handle the family plan payments is up to them entirely.
lol i was already set and ready to pop in my old rumble pak into that controller for that old retro N64 rumbling experience from back in the day! 😂
It would be really cool if that controller actually had a usable slot in the back compatible with all the old N64 controller accessories like the memory pak, rumble pak, force pak, and transfer pak (and others idk about) that would be really cool! 😁
Doesn't Playstation and Xbox charge like 10 or 15 dollars monthly? So 50 dollars for the entire year is still a bargain compared to that so I think is still a reasonable price, specially if we considered that up to 8 people can online subscription for 80 dollars which is like 10 dollars per person for the ENTIRE year!
I hate the shindou version not because of the patched BLJ glitch, but because of the higher pitch voice clips. Every time Mario's pitch goes high it rubs me the wrong way when I hear it, it is so annoying and it triggers me! 💢
These are cool, but my biggest question is; Will Sora get an amiibo? Sakurai did not say anything at all in regards to Sora getting an amiibo so is not a guaranteed yes nor a no, but I am wondering if it could be possible that Disney denied Nintendo the license for the production of an amiibo figure for Sora. Guess we will find that out eventually if they announce it or not.
Hmmm... 🤔
Sora was the actual winner of the Smash Fighter Ballot for the final DLC of Smash Wii U/3DS, but because Disney Japan denied it they had to move on to the next possible fighter which ended up being Bayonetta, but now they finally got to actually release the real winner of the ballot. Fitting that he is the final DLC fighter since that was what was originally intended for the previous Smash Bros; what a great finale. 😁
This is brilliant! This the perfect example that every big game company with MMO and other games that cannot be played without online connection (SEGA, Capcom, Nintendo, Konami, etc.) needs to be learning from. Hopefully they are working on an offline HD remaster of Final Fantasy XI cause we definitely need that one too, please.
Oh wow, I will never be able to unsee that now, it is going to forever look like Mario to me now and there is nothing I can do about it. Thanks a lot Nintendo Life! XD OMEGALUL
Not gonna lie, the current cast for the new Mario movie is indeed worrisome. The movie could look super amazing but if the voices don't fit it's just gonna feel like some extensive fan made YouTube movie.
Aww f@$% why did it had to be Playism... after that bs that they did to Kson I really don't want to support this company anymore... but I do really am interested in wanting this game so now I don't know if to buy or not to buy...
That is very unfortunate... I was kinda really looking forward to this game after seeing the trailer on the Indie World Direct that Nintendo prompted it in, now I am unsure if I want to buy it. ☹
There's a Pokémon I never saw coming. I wonder how they pick them... 🤔
Do you think they just put, like, all of the names of every final evolution (or base pre-evolution for stone PKMN like Pikachu or Eevee) inside a hat and just mix it really good and then randomly pull out a name? Maybe we'll get Beedrill next or Kabutops, anything is possible at this rate! 😂
Existing owners will have to fork out full price money again if they purchased the physical copy, there is no way around that fact. Guess I kinda got lucky I haven't bought my copy yet.
It looks like when the guy was spinning his hands the sound effect for the score being counted was supposed to play but failed, that's unfortunate. They did an awesome job with this performance though, and a very unique costume detail by attaching Nintendo controllers on themselves. 😄👍🏻
Characters from series that I feel that they are missing are:
Fairly Odd Parents Angry Beavers Rocko's Modern Life The Mighty B Rocket Power My Life as a Teenage Robot Jimmy Neutron
At least this 7 series need to have some character(s) included in the roster in my opinion.
I would love to mention Doug but Nickelodeon does no longer owns the rights to that show and characters, I think Disney owns Doug now but I am not 100% sure.
I have not played Ninjala in a long time, i kinda stopped caring for it... but I LOVE Hatsune Miku so I am definitely ganna play during this crossover event! (I might spend some real money on it too)
I will be happy if they add Donkey Kong and/or Diddy Kong as a Nintendo rep, even if it is a Switch exclusive DLC. We need DK in this game collecting Golden Bananas!
I'm glad many fans are actually caring about his health and not treating him like a tool like many other fans do, Sakurai deserves some good positive support from the fans, he has done a lot for us.
Why are the Rabbids, Winter, & Just Dance themes DLC now when originally they came as part of the game? I don't get it... they Ubisoft took existing in-game content and separated it as DLC later after it already had been released as part of the main game? That's really scummy and shady, I can't believe they did that.
I'm pre-ordering this game for PS4 btw, it looks really hype! I hope it has online co-op considering it was at one point going to be an MMO. I'm super glad it isn't an MMO though, that would have killed it for me, I would not have any interest if it was an MMO, the gameplay wouldn't be the same if it was an MMO and also it wouldn't be playable offline which is a huge blow unless it turns out to be another gacha just like Genshin Impact which really sucks that Genshin Impact requires internet connection to play despite not being an MMO. I got super hyped for the reveal trailer for Genshin Impact also until I found out its a gatcha... So I really hope this game isn't going down a similar path.
"it looks like an appealing mix of both Pokémon and Splatoon"
I'm getting more of a mix of Monster Hunter and Ninjala out of that video footage. I don't see anything Splatoonish, and other than monster catching I don't see anything Pokémonish in it either. But either way, that's just my opinion about how I feel about what I saw, is probably a bit different for everyone.
Oh wow, Kamek is finally playable in Mario Kart after 25 years stuck in Mario Kart 64 Beta. Better late than never I suppose, is just to bad Mario Kart Tour is a gatcha game...
