Increase the power, backwards compatible, and VR inclusive. Having it handheld, TV and VR will cover their bases with everything and add enough NEW™ to make it worth the upgrade.
Also, it needs a better online structure. Voice chat is needed
I haven't tried Baten Kairos in a loooong time. I remember bits and pieces, but it was hard to grasp for 13 year old me. Would love to revisit this world
I miss the partners from 64/TTYD, and the turn based fighting style. They keep trying to change things and shake the Paper Mario series up but each new entry fails to live up to TTYD. What a fantastic game that is.
I really enjoyed my time with Octo1, but never finished it. I don't even think I made it super far, it just ended up losing it's draw for me. Hopefully Octo2 holds my attention better, I just don't have time for epic rpgs
I bought Samus, Zelda and Link when Amiibo first came out, but those have since been either eaten by the dog or given to GoodWill. Is there a point to them anymore? Do games still implement them?
I will always love Awakening. It was my first Fire Emblem, and lead me down a path of games that I've come to love. The cast being made up of incredible VAs (especially those from Critical Role), the characters (Lon'Qu, Chrom, Gaius), the classes.
I can understand those gripes, but for me they're minor. I actually liked taking a break from exploring and dungeoneering to return to Skyloft and trade in my finds, upgrade my tools, search for uncovered chests. And then dive back in, another quest.
The sky section wasn't great, it needed more to flesh it out as the hub world, but it served it's purpose. And the land maps I did enjoy, they were like dungeons leading you to the main final dungeon of the area.
Skyward Sword had the time stone puzzles, an incredible soundtrack, Groose, upgrading your weapons, the dungeons were great. Really the only complaints I have are Fi and the motion control, and you get used to both
I can see why someone would hold that opinion, but DBZ has so much action and excitement. Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 3, fusions, Mystic Gohan, Majin Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, Android Saga, that whole era of movies. There's a lot of awesome stuff in DBZ. DB has charm and fun, but DBZ is so much more
In 2012 I was in my mid 20s, and getting a wiiu from my wife was a real treat. Many, many hours were spent playing it. We could share the tv, control the tv, the games were all great, it was a fun little console
I might be the worst when it comes to cases... I take the games out and donate the case and inserts to my local used game shop. I don't like cases cluttering things up
Metroid Dread was a fantastic game, with a forgettable sound track. Metroid music is usually incredible (especially the Prime series) so it's that much more bizarre to only get one or two good tracks in a Metroid game
Congrats! Good news is new borns sleep A LOT. I did most of my switch gaming when my daughter was first born. Good way to stay up when they need to be held at 3 am.
Now as a three year old, the only gaming I do is Kirby with her and she loves it
What's with all the negative comments? Sure, it isn't breaking news. But it's filed under "Random", and is a fun little anecdote that we all had enough interest to click. Not like the title hid the fact that the article was about the actor wanting a Zelda movie
@Dr_Corndog It's crazy how underrated V is. Sure the story isn't as memorable as VI, and the cast isn't the greatest, but it's by far the most fun Final Fantasy game to play
Idk about who owns the rights or contracts or anything, but I agree that Gamefreak has dropped the ball several times now. We need other developers making more games, different styles
I meant saying this is a "pathetic hack piece from Liam". He is writing an article with sited sources, not just making stuff up.
I think if an article is blatantly lying for clicks, they should be called out. And if a game is released in such a state that EVERY reviewer points out the issues, they should be called out.
But if an author is just writing an article about how some (he even points out that not all are able to) gamers are getting a refund, then where is the lie? What makes this a hack? Are we such fanboys here that we can't say anything negative about a Nintendo game? Cmon
There's no need for personal attacks, Liam isn't writing a "hack piece" here. He's reporting on a common issue, and giving an option that others might not have known was possible. It isn't a guarantee that you get your refund, but there's a chance.
Why visit this site if you have bitterness and anger towards the author?
I didn't realize you guys were upset that it was spoiled that a GameBoy was in GoTG, sorry. I personally don't think that's an important detail worth being upset over, but I thought you meant who gave it, who got it, and the video showing it all
I agree, nice to see tabletop representation. Here's hoping Nintendo can eventually do a Zelda or Pokemon 5e, and NintendoLife can have DnD or tabletop articles
@Jmjfrank The beginning of your comment had me nodding, thinking someone agreed. Until you said it was a negative lol. Once you have the gravity suit, the area is enjoyable. But the music? Best in the game. Been my alarm clock tone for a while now
@sdelfin I totally agree with the snow level sentiment. Donkey Kong Country series, Zelda, Metroid, every time there's a snow or ice level it's usually my favorite. From the puzzles, enemies, slip and slide hazards to the typically somber and beautiful music, I'm a snow level guy through and through.
In regards to the ranking list, no way would I have Phazon that high. For me any part that involved direct Space Pirate contact (other than the revisit to Orpheon, the music there is incredible) got the boot. Took away all the fun for me for some reason.
My top areas would be 1: Phendrana. 2: Talon Overworld. 3: Chozo Ruins. 4: Magmoor (but not the tower of Space Pirates and turrets) 5: Artifact Temple.

Re: Random: This Nintendo Direct Feels Incredibly Quaint Just 10 Years On

Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo's Next Console Have To Be 'Another' Switch?

Re: Talking Point: What Is The Most Frustrated You've Ever Been With A Video Game?
Metroid Prime 2 has the Boost Guardian and Quadraxis.
Donkey Kong Country 2 is my absolute favorite game, but some of the thorn levels used to make me so angry.
Mario Sunshine has a lot of enraging parts. Stupid Sand Bird.
FFXIII had a boss with a bunch of faces, and no matter what I did I just couldn't beat it. Never did make it to the fabled open world parts

Re: Soapbox: Zelda Should Be Given The Paper Mario Treatment
I miss the partners from 64/TTYD, and the turn based fighting style. They keep trying to change things and shake the Paper Mario series up but each new entry fails to live up to TTYD. What a fantastic game that is.
Side note, I'd also enjoy a Paper Metroid.

Re: Feature: Fire Emblem Narratives, Ranked – Which Fire Emblem Has The Best Story?
I will always love Awakening. It was my first Fire Emblem, and lead me down a path of games that I've come to love. The cast being made up of incredible VAs (especially those from Critical Role), the characters (Lon'Qu, Chrom, Gaius), the classes.
I might just have to do another replay
