@Kienda I don't know, maybe the Nintendo guys in Athens are lying. Whatever the case, it is obvious now that Nintendo should not ask for money to repair something that was a technical oversight of theirs.
According to the Nintendo Technical Team in Athens joy-con controllers with new joysticks that don't drift have started to be in circulation since last September (2018).
@VenomousAlbino I think Nintendo Life writers are often confused ot they don't have someone above them telling them that in this site we will do only one thing. So, sometimes they use the American commas (1,240,760.99) and sometimes the European periods (1.240.760,99), sometimes they write the USA only 3/14/2019 and sometimes they become universal and write 14/3/3019. Sometimes they write about (almost) USA only feet and inches and sometimes about meters. Sometimes they present prices only in US Dollars $, sometimes in English pounds £, sometimes both and when they remember they can even mention euros €. You, as a reader, have to adapt each time and even guess from time to time.
He should be more positive on his remarks. I am sure that there are many fans of his that did not like Sonic's appereance and they were vocal about it.
Whoever wrote this article, please NintendoLife, let him write other articles too. They are serious, well written and they respect readers' notion. Well done!
@graysoncharles I am happy that you read my comments. I am also happy that you seem to understand that Digital Foundry's reports are sometimes hyperbolic.
@Heavyarms55 I do agree that Digital Foundry reports sometimes seem to try hard to find a needle in a haystack. This Doom analysis is one of these times.
It seems like Super Mario Maker 2 makes players creating more interesting levels. You may occasionally meet a bad level but the quality is increased in relation to the first Maker title on Wii U.
The control input offered in Picross Jupiter games on Switch are far superior from touch controls. This is not a matter of taste. People here suggesting otherwise have clearly never purchased and played any of the 4 games released on Switch so far.
What's with the dollars in the article? Where is the UK pound and the European Euro? How hard it is to make it a rule that all Nintendo Life writers follow?
The synopsis of the journalist after Miyamoto's reply is unnecessary and biased. The journalist provides the news by writing an article. Readers are supposed to read the article and form an opinion of their own and not to be patronized by the journalist's own conclusion.
@JaxonH SAYS "I think it's clear the fanboys dont want to see Atlus support Switch"
REPLY: I am a Nintendo fan for many decades and I have not seen any fanboy claiming what you write. You are clearly making up this claim. Gamers, fanboys or not, are longing for great games to play on their consoles. And that is all.
@Cheez You are certainly wrong when you say that Super Mario Maker 2 is a copy paste of the original. It is so obvious that it isn't that I am really wondering about the criteria of your criticism.
@harrystein SAYS "This does not deserve a 10. An 8 at most for the fact that I'm sure there are people like me who don't want to build the own levels or play unprofessional levels. I wish there was a real 2D Mario game more like Mario World with a full world to explore and tons of Nintendo made levels. The creation mode should be second priority. Lazy Nintendo!"
ANSWER: You have got it all wrong. This is a MAKER title. To MAKE is to CREATE. Therefore, creation mode is its priority. You also accuse Nintendo of being lazy when there are more than 100 stages made by them and the rest of the game is much more advanced than its first iteration. So, lazy Nintendo, it surely is not. Lazy you, you bet.
If it was Wii U it would surely hurt. Nintendo Switch has so many great games already and it will continue to have the next few months. So when I read comments that Animal Crossing's delay hurt their E3 presentation I know that it is all just down to the usual internet whining.
A very wierd article with a very wierd title. It is like this boy is someone's nephew at NintendoLife and we are forced to know a story that we (Nintendo Life's readers) wouldn't care less about it.

Re: Review: Turok 2: Seeds of Evil - A Painfully Incomplete Version Of An N64 Classic
This game is an 8. And it reads like an 8. Multiplayer portion of the game is so small that it shouldn't affect the grading.

Levels created by Switch users are better now than they were in Mario Maker 1.
Re: Monster Boy Dev Teases Switch Lite-Specific Game Feature
Maybe the Lite version has something that the main Switch does not have and they are not allowed to say until Nintendo announces it.

Turok 2 is bigger and better with a truly wonderful soundtrack for a N64 game (apart from Tetrisphere).

DOOM for Switch has always online DRM. The writer of this article failed to give this very important (and awkward) information.

Re: Nintendo Will Now Let You Upload 64 Courses In Super Mario Maker 2
A great game, greater than the first part, is getting even better. Switch dual control methods are even better than they were on Wii U.
