Nintendo could do something Halo ODST/Reach-like with a Metroid Prime spinoff, with online multiplayer, there’d be even smaller want for games like this. Probably do the franchise some good too.
Mind you Battlefield hasn’t been that good since BF3, arguably BF4.
Probably one of the worst directs I’ve seen in recent times, rivalling the “farming sim” direct. Sure there were a couple of games I’m looking forward to, but mostly mid-to-rubbish.
And frankly, all sports games and Just Dance should never get a spotlight segment in any games showcase, they should all be displayed in a quick fire segment.
Always knew Nintendo would be the last to hold out, for better or worse. The big MS acquisitions were always a sign that MS was going to transition into a major 3rd party publisher, and now Sony follows suit with the PC ports and now their “competitor ports”.
@Sindayl what are you talking about? There have been plenty of games cancelled on Nintendo platforms before. It’s never been a unique situation to Xbox.
Amazing. After all the whining and complaining about the price being too high, the NS2 broke multiple global sales records and now the Nintendo President has even apologised for not being able to meet demand.
I’ve already got a 1TB microSD express. Already used more than half of the storage. Really need 2TB or better yet 5TB, but I can only imagine the eye watering price for one that large. Probably cost more than the NS2 MKW console bundle, pro-controller and camera combined.
Kit & Krysta were cringy when they were apart of NoA or NoE (I honestly don’t know or care which they were apart of), now they’re just painful. They’ve been off the mark so often, that I don’t know why NLife keeps quoting them, are they stupid?
They’re really going to whine about the sales on a console that’s only been 2 weeks on the market, for game ports that came out well over a year ago, sold at premium prices, while being sold on sale or having permanent price drops elsewhere? Then there’s the whole key card dilemma. I mean really?
SteamDecks and PC handhelds go under the radar because it’s Steam, I mean where are their specific sales numbers? I bet they’re not pumping out great numbers either.
Come back when it’s a game released day and date as the others.
The only thing I look at Sony for is how they robbed Stellar Blade from being a multiplatform game, luckily it’s finally on PC now, only with little thanks to Sony.
So MS slapped the Xbox brand on an Asus ROG and called it a day.
The cheapest I can find for the current market ROG Ally is A$1200, A$1600 for the Ally X.
So the Xbox branding may end up calling it a premium product and bump the price up more, who knows?
Either way, I doubt it’ll have any significant impact on the NS2.
Poor Perfect Dark. One truly great game, then mistreated ever since. Hopefully they’ve gone back to at least redesign her character model, lose the man-jaw and go for a more feminine look like her original design.
Also never forget, NLife gave Other M a 9/10, but turned on it when the majority opinion was negative.
I even remember them doing an article the first time these Figma models were announced, NLife suggesting that you get these models only to stomp them to pieces.
Nice, I’ll get them both this time. Figma and JoyToy make the best fully articulated models, imo. Already got the Dread and Prime models and a TP Zelda model from Figma.
JoyToy is my go to for WH40K models.
Like him or not, he’s not wrong in what he says. If you really want something, you’ll find a way. But the whole “true fans” statement, that’s a bit below the belt.
Besides, gaming is just a form of 1st world entertainment, the real outrage should be toward the price increases on things that truly matter, like food and medical needs.
“Well, at this point, considering the success of the game, it kind of changes everything. So clearly, it’s too early to say, but we’re kind of in a situation where… let’s say there are a lot of opportunities showing up – way too many at once – and we’re figuring out what we’ll go for and what we won’t. But yeah, it’s definitely something that could be interesting.”
Makes me think they have a potential buyer for their little dev studio.

Dragon's Dogma 2, please.
Re: The Force Isn't Strong With Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2, Initial Impressions Suggest

Re: Nightdive's CEO Reiterates Desire To Remaster 'Eternal Darkness'
I’ll take a Nightdive remaster, but would prefer a Bloober remake. Still got my GC copy.
Re: Mattel Adds Special Edition Pauline To Its Mario Kart Hot Wheels Line
Think I’m just missing Rosalina, and now this one obviously. But AU$40 for a Hot Wheels is a bit much, even if it is a Special Edition.
I still reckon MKW is bound for DKB content soon.
Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
Some decent picks, mixed with never-gonna-happen & total garbage.
Pretty standard, I guess.
Re: Anniversary: n-Space & Nintendo's M-Rated GameCube Gem Is 20 Years Old
Still got my hard copy of Geist and Eternal Darkness. Man I want someone like Bloober Team to remake ED.
Re: Talking Point: Where On Earth Are The Switch 2 Soundtracks On Nintendo Music?
So basically you’re impatient.
On another note, Zebra Bananza theme is only the 2nd best Bananza theme, Snake Bananza got it beat by a country mile.
Re: Opinion: We Really Don't Need A Donkey Kong Timeline
It’s not that hard to put together, and it’s not that deep NLife.
Re: Opinion: We Really Don't Need A Donkey Kong Timeline
After giving Bananza a 9/10, NLife’s opinion on this matter means very little.
Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist
Ackshually, there were 10 games removed from that direct. My sauce? I made it up and it tastes great!
Re: EA Doesn't Currently Have Plans To Bring Battlefield 6 To Switch 2

One of the very few, good surprises in that direct.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Probably one of the worst directs I’ve seen in recent times, rivalling the “farming sim” direct. Sure there were a couple of games I’m looking forward to, but mostly mid-to-rubbish.
And frankly, all sports games and Just Dance should never get a spotlight segment in any games showcase, they should all be displayed in a quick fire segment.
And where were all the Microsoft published games?

Oh no! Anyway…
@Spoony_Tech sales? Ubisoft don’t do sales numbers anymore, it’s “player counts” now, whether they made a sale or not.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
I thought Nintendo said they were reducing the amount of shovelware & straight up garbage games on the NS2?

Re: The Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie Has Been Delayed, But Not By Much
Nothing I said was inappropriate, it was accurate. As it would be bad for the movie, because of terrible casting.
Re: Forget The PS4, Koei Tecmo Reckons Switch 2 Is Closer To Xbox Series S
So does that mean a Ninja Gaiden 4 and Nioh trilogy announcement for the NS2?
Re: Switch 2 Is Nintendo's Biggest UK Console Launch Of All Time
Funny how everyone b!tched about the NS2 price, yet it’s all the expensive consoles leading the show.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Nintendo Switch 2
The NS2 is good, don’t need no “professional critic’s opinion” on that.

Learnt that the hard way.
Re: Anniversary: Perfect Dark, Another N64 Rare Classic, Turns 25

Their full quote is quite… curious:
