DarkTron

Game was on sale for Amazon Prime Day for a significant discount (less than £15 on current-gen), and sells on every platform, that’s why it’s so high this week.

Everyone here wondering about the usefulness and critical reception, forgetting that this was announced at the same time as the Pokémon app to help kids brush their teeth. Quite literally no reason to look that deep into it. We're not the target audience, just another demographic.

@GoldenSunRM My Nintendo Store was where they were all restocked, Amazon never get reprints anymore, only just the newer ones.

@GoldenSunRM Europe had it when the game was released, it took ages for them to go out of stock too (LA Link went out almost immediately, everything else took a week or 2). You just missed it.

Very much a last-gasp sale. Games have been out for nearly 10 years, and(based on the sale prices on other platofrms) is a clear attempt to obtain more money than their current valuation (at the lowest discount, buying both games and their DLCs would be less than $10.)

@iDidSomething the stretch goal advertised it as "paid DLC" that would be free for all backers (aka an imcentive to back it), and considering everything else that went wrong with the KS, it's just another slap in the face to anyone who backed it.

@Cashews all we've actually learned is to not back the Kickstarter of a company who could afford to do it regardless.

This is a deceptive article. This isn't at all for "saving" money, it's just a quick-and-easy attempt by NL to get money by advertising a "deal" (like €3.50 is that significant of a discount). Shame.

Priorities on this site seem to be all out of wack. The sale was announced yesterday as part of Indie World, yet it was posted AFTER the news story on the Advance Wars reversible art.

@Not_Soos 2 years since their debut, and we only started getting Wave 2 amiibos last March, so it's not as lengthy in that context.

Outlier of the supposed "challenge run" aside (can't verify whether it was true), the remaining content was about modded content. Unfortunately, PointCrow drew the public eye with the multiplayer mod announcement (especially with the claim he not only offered a bounty but provided funding for the team), which also attracted Nintendo's attention. The fact he deliberately funded an unofficial mod and released it is their issue, and the fact that (as the sole owner of the mod) he has directly profited off it through content creation is the reason their "attacks" have targeted that side of his platform. From there, they've seen the other mods he's similarly promoted and attacked them as well.

In essence, his decision to attempt to further enhance the game he's most known for has now ruined it for everyone, an (obviously unintentional) selfish choice.

@Il_Nintenditore Leaving a comment for the sole reason of complaining that a shooter whose main gimmick is being an online multiplayer game, doesn't have an offline mode (beyond a story mode) is weird, tbh.

@patbacknitro18 Melody of Memory is entirely dedicated to Kingdom Hearts music, why would you want 8 tracks added to Final Curtain when that exists?

Fun point I noticed from the movie is that the Mike Tyson clip was stolen from Game Grumps (orange border on the gameplay was a dead giveaway).

Little disingenuous to call the article "Best Gags We've Seen" and immediately start it with the 2 written by NL.

@Grumblevolcano why would Nintendo waste all the money spent on logistics, shipping and customs, as well as packaging and printing of labels, to send a digital copy? The file size listed under the subtotal is present on confirmed physical deliveries, it’s just a template. No need for fearmongering over nothing.

@Alundra-1998 and will probably be waiting for a very long time. Physical Bayo 2 already exists, this physical edition was purely for fans who wanted a physical of Bayo 1 (which was digital-only until now, which was included in Bayonetta 2). No chance they're going to (re)rerelease Bayo 2 as physical-only at this point, the bundle has been off-print for a long time as is.

@Ashfan2020 the issue isn't that point, it's the fact K&K are passing off this opinion as fact from Nintendo, something they've already been called out before for fabricating (Nintendo's stance on nuzlockes in Pokémon, reasons for leaving EVO). This article does the exact same thing, establishing a very clear rumour as "fact" because they claim their source is Nintendo, when they themselves have admitted their access to internal information is limited (as was the case with the Pokémon "nuzlocke is bad" claim)

Ki and Krysta have been proven multiple times to be factually wrong with regard to “insider” comments, why are ye still taking their words at face value?

>refuses to let Metroid Prime on because of a physical release (released weeks after the digital)
>allows PowerWash Simulator, a game released in January

What does any of this mean?

So, it isn't a glitch, it's people trying to join a specific den outside the current version.

Bravely Default 2 isn't HD-2D, and Octopath Traveller (either the original or the upcoming sequel) aren't exclusives either.

No one seems to conisder the fact the FE1 remake was released in between the 2 titles, and considering that the only other remake (Echoes) is included in the list, it's likely that that could be the missing link.

Although I have no knowledge if someone has already datamined FE1R to determine that, based on the fact no one discussing this seemed to remember it even existed, I'd hedge no.

"Sad I had to confirm this" is a complete overreaction, honestly. The issue is annoying but fixable, and you definitely wouldn't see that poor reaction from another fans item (never saw Joe Merrick complain that patches were incoming to fix ScarVi).

This type of joke wasn't funny when ye did it as an April Fools prank in 2021, why did anyone think it would work a 2nd time, in mid-January?

Considering Inazuma has been delayed 5-6 years, we can't even guarantee it'll release in Japan.

@Xenobound94 the VA change only happened in English, the original dumb was unchanged. They wouldn't have cancelled a show based on a highly popular game, just because the US team changed who voices a character (and even in US standards, the characters would have no issue being replaced, because it barely matters there).

Ironic that it claims to be channeling Link's Awakening, considering it seems awfully "inspired" by Yacht Club Games (that blue Knight in the thumbnail looks awfully familiar, and that their newest title is also inspired by Link's Awakening).

Leave it to Nintendo Life to jump on the bandwagon as usual (Bakugan WayForward, Switch Pro) without any concern for being accurate. Nothing has been finalised and this deal has been more intensly scrutinised than any before it. Microsoft don't currently own Activision, they're under no right to make promises, and these comments are simply for evidence gathering of support of the deal with the public.

Entering a 10-year commitment for a property they don't yet own.

Not a surprise for sure, a lot of the above titles were discounted for Black Friday, or included in BF/CM console deals.

Personally surprised that Midnight Suns failed to crack the top 10, thought the Marvel IP would be a good influencer for its success (and shocked that Callisto did, despite the lukewarm-negative reviews)

@Cronodoug there's one next year almost guaranteed based on the trends of releases, no need to send up the warning flare.

So basically:

• Nintendo poll on Choose Day determined Fuecoco
• Splatfest determined Quaxly
• Famitsu determined Sprigatito

I can't believe we live in a world where someone already thinks Forces is better than Frontier (Forces got a 6)

The reason your review is so harshly treated is the fact your review makes the equivalence that "this is a bad port of a bad game", when the actual only conclusive part is "this is a bad port". Quite honestly, this game does nothing much different to differentiate itself in the open-world genre, but is instead an actual proof of a whole new formula for a game (which is one of the very points that NL brings up in the Legends Arceus review). Ye're harshly punishing a game for reasons ye've previously commended other titles (Zelda and Pokémon, like Sonic both previously linear games that convert to OW, got higher scores than Frontiers implies they should've. Maybe this opens up the channel to rereviews of games that were praised by NL for their OW concept more than the game).

Also the old adage that a Nintendo fan will take any opportunity to demerit Sonic is clearly applicable /s

Charizard is actually standing, and not just flying eternally? Hopefully that's consistent and not just the battle intro.

Now we just need the article about the updated sales numbers and the template Nintendo Financial Report articles will be complete.

Don't know whether my lack of love for Gen 5 influences it (dont think its the worst, but definitely dont buy into the hype the story is anything other than extremely average), but the Gen 5 starters are easily among the worst designs in the entire franchise in my opinion. The first stages are fine, the 2nd stages are good but the 3rd stages are completely awful and it ruins the rest of them. Similarly, I don't rank Galar's starter, with the middle stages being the worst (by a long shot). Think Gen 7, Gen 3 and Gen 4 are the most consistently well-designed across the 3, with each of the latter 2 challenging the Kanyo starters for good design.

For anyone curious about it, it's part of Apple Arcade.

It's also *****.

@nessisonett what a very specific way to defend it, very clear you've had this argument before, not that any of it is correct. Jodie Whittaker has done the 2nd least amount of Modern Who (only beating Eccelston). Even with COVID, she's had the least amount of episodes and appearances, less than any of the previous 3 Doctors. As you mentioned, the only reason she lasted 5 years is because they didn't film for 1 year in the middle. If you're going entirely by "first reveal to regeneration", then Paul McGann certainly wins by that regard (didn't even regenerate until 2013), if you're going by years as the Doctor then Tom Baker has her beat, if you're going by Modern Who, David will have her beat before his next episode. It's a stupid metric to base it on.

Also, it's exactly that she was fired. RTD had every opportunity to keep her in the role. but she no longer fits the vision of what Doctor Who is going to be and was replaced. In literally any other industry, that is called "fired".

@Ryu_Niiyama Steve and Alex were the default skins for the player character, if you hadn’t imported/obtained any others. This update adds the 7 other characters in that image to the default skins list, making a total of 9.

Headline should be updated to "Scarlet/Violet restores single-use TMs again". Then again, reverting a good feature to a ***** one isn't exactly headline-worthy news.

Edit: Really censoring a swear word, NL? Absolutely nothing wrong with it, no need to be prudes.

Traffic low today, NL? That why you're posting a whole article about a YouTuber whose only connection to your usual content is he plays a game that is also on the console (the version of which he never plays)?

@Oppyz666 there are also many countries that EU doesn't cover in that as well. Just saying "Europe" is the correct version.
