Yep, the one thing missing from Mega Man was romantic flirting. Oh, blue bomber, will you ever get together with Toad Man, who has a pelvic dance so hot that it has to rain to cool him off.

Far cheaper than Everybody's Golf too.

Funny enough all the 'cons' are very retro, so it very much achieves it's retro throwback, whether good or bad.
Also, I love that Atari is still going strong. Bladerunner will proven correct, Atari will be around and stronger than ever in 2049

I have no interest in this at all, but pleased it going to be running well for those of whom are excited for it.
I did love the description/title for Alex though, 'video producer extraordinaire Alex Olney'. Also, 'it's getting Hutt in here' was enjoyed more than it should be, although, not so happy with the ear-worm borrowing through my brain now.

The sound of her feet trotting away just like a horses in 3rd person mode will fit nicely with the stability of the the Switch2.

@Truegamer79 I just run through main game with Arkham now and don't worry about all riddles on repeat playthroughs. First time though, probably about 15.
But, side stuff, using BOTW for example, I did everything, was compelled too. I mean how can I say I finished the game otherwise!!
Open-world games are very demanding and are getting bigger and bigger and I simply dont, time permitting or not, want to invest so much time into something that extensive and consuming. Using the Arkham games as I commented on Asylum already, it's sequel, City, is a 10-12hr game for just the main quest and add on say another 5-10 depending for all bits and pieces, for an open world game that is just about right and I wish newer games would be this sort of time frame. But, you know, got to be 50-200hrs or its not worth it......

@bimmy-lee Die-Hard 2 PS1, was one of my all time favs.

@Truegamer79 8-12 (up to 20hrs is okay for me) is my perfect game length. The odd one here and there that is longer, BOTW or 3D mario for example, but I prefer a shorter game. If I love it I can replay one day. I recently played through Arkham Asylum and Bioshock 2 again, took 8 hours and 7hours respectively, I had two great memorable adventures and it only took 15hours. I don't bother with a number of releases after seeing how big they are, even if I have a genuine interest in them, too much time and i'll tire of them before they finish

@molkom oh it's absolutely real, I made it myself

I'm beginning to wonder whether Nintendo is in on all this stability malarky and releases the updates with the heading 'stability' just for kicks, so I asked them.
"Hay, Denny.
In response to your question. Neigh, here at Nintendo we don't horse around about such things. We don't want our users to be chomping at the bit with our systems and we do our best to ensure a smooth ride."

@bimmy-lee actually there is. There was a video someone posted on here a couple of months ago in the comments, showed how it works and the guys who made it using it. So its well on the way.

@World agree. When I first saw it on last article I thought of a less charismatic Nathan Drake and wasn't keen at all. Now, I really hate it, as you said it's just some guy. People get paid to do this....

Colour me a intrigued, hopefully you guys will review upon release.
And no, totally not at all confused by that description, obviously it plays like COD crossed with Mario....right?

I had operation wolf on the NES and this release with it bundled in really eats at my want for light guns return.

@Damo does this have the other 2 NES games or just OPeration Wolf??

That box art couldn't be more 80s if it tried.

@sixrings Thank you so much for subsidizing my portable lifestyle. I don't actually own a TV, i like intimate watching on small screens so my little laptop is fine for movies and handheld gaming is preferred, so it is very much appreciated.

I really wish developers would stop with uncapped framerates, makes things far worse.

@JohnnyMind you are the unofficial editor of NintendoLife. I have, as well as others, comment from time to time on mistakes, but we are merely one time contractors compared to you. I'll send you some business cards for you to dish out, I may even put a typo on them so you can edit them.

control options should have been from the start, but to be honest, the whole presentation needs work, its so boring. I said before, but its genuinely hard to believe Nintendo made this

@sketchturner pleased you liked it in the end. Perhaps in a couple of years I'll give it another go, prepare myself for a big game. I usually prefer most games to be done by 20hr mark to be honest, but I have and will put more time in to the odd one, usually Nintendos, Zelda, 3D Mario etc, but the odd other here and there

@Suketoudara Yeah, saw that after I posted, thought I was on Switch 2 page for it

@Medic_alert Yes it is.
DS games are pretty notorious as well.
BOTW has plenty of fakes floating around, actually. Due to being a big seller I guess.
As long as you buy second hand from reputable dealer or money back guarantee on ebay or something you shouldn't have an issue if you stumble across one

@Suketoudara £2.71 until 14/09

@Medic_alert yep, they will do. I buy a lot of pre-owned to play and the sell if I dont want keep, buy new on games i do, and I've been caught out a couple of times, even from places like CEX. Thankfully always rectified.

@Medic_alert A number of ones that won't read are actually fake. They start out okay but fail quickly. People just tend to sell them on unfortunately

Rumour or no rumour, this was expected regardless. However, given the power the PS6 will be it would have to be a monster in the hands. Seems more likely that they will do one that is far less powerful but if docked will be massively upgraded in power to match PS6. Also, their consumer base is very different and I imagine wont be too bothered by this, preferring a full fledged console. Still, good luck to them

@LazyDaisy Luigi's Mansion is a game I adore and I agree, neither sequel worked in my opinion. LM2 was fun and expected to be different, but 3 was my biggest disappointed. I was so pumped, LM in a hotel!! Hotels are a fantastic setting for this series, beautifully interweaving on itself as you such this maze of a hotel, the weird and wacky occupants, I was so hyped. Reality is it was a glorified level select, built like a 2D mario game and I really got tired of it by 2/3s through. Worst thing is the wasted protentional, a game based around a museum, a game set in ancient pyramids etc. instead they were short levels. But it was loved and praised, so now I imagine this is how the series will continue. At least the first exists, hope it returns to console and not just via online GameCube

Random fact, the last time a Metroid prime game was released was the first year I used this site, reading the Mario Galaxy review. It was also my first time using the internet, yep I was slow to it. 18years, thank you Nintendo Life for your service!!!

@N00BiSH Awesome, picking it up at the end of the month, been really looking forward to it.

@N00BiSH are you enjoying UFO 50?? keen to get it soon

Honestly, I don't mind, just as long as it finished to perfection, which seems what is happening. I think it will be a holiday game though

Metroid Prime 4 is a myth.

When I saw it said Art Attack I was really hoping you made a cool piece of art with the 100 copies of Mario Paint just like Neil Buchanan...you disappointed me. However, this was cool anyway....but I'm waiting

There is one release everybody is waiting for, that one perfect sound to wake up too. Nintendo is holding back, but don't worry my friends the day is coming and when it does you will know the joys of being woken up to the blissful sound of baby Mario crying from Yoshi's Island. The hype is real.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant the REAL nicktoons

@VoidofLight exactly. It looks so cheap, was utterly disappointed within seconds of the video starting

I love metroidvanias, I really do, but I like a good tight experience that will last me about up to 10hrs on first play through and quicker and quicker as you learn the game on multi playthroughs. This was just far too long and tiresome with some design quirks that made it worse. It's a real shame, I want to like it. I'll never finish this and have no interest in Silksong as a result. If they made a Hollow Knight condensed version, that was shorter and focused on replayability rather than a long epic RPG length, I'd be very, very happy

I am loving the Bananza love and so glad all these here are thoroughly enjoying too

@Ulysses yep, but then more and more people seem to be being turned off from MKW and there are many disappointed voices out there of those who bought it now the initial rush of the new has passed. Honestly, and it's sad to say, I think MK8 is the better option

Voices tend to annoy me anyway, honestly wish they would shut up, so no lose here.
The more I read about this, including the link NL posted after this article to Push Square, the more it seems this may be better than Mario Kart World.

@Dr_Corndog honestly, i only know one person with a switch

@Deljo my wings are like a shield of steel!!

Shantae games are a strange one for me, I really like them, but never finish them, so I'm going to have to give this a miss. Good to know it didn't get lost forever though

@Erigen for the moment, F-Zero 99 was a huge success and I imagine on Switch 2 the F-Zero GX is getting plenty of play. Star-Fox I imagine is in the back of their minds, they know its loved but truly need to deliver after the games since N64. I imagine at some point Golden Sun will return.....one day. Earthbound/Mother will be left, despite the love I think we won't ever get a new game. Warioland, problem there is Warioware but if they have the GameCube one up and its played heavily they may consider it. But for now, the tears must continue

YES!!!!

Apparently, I'm not constructive enough, sorry NL but I was just exclaiming my joy

Honestly, i prefer them to digital as I can resell and not lose all my money for a game i'm not sure of and it has happened too many times for games only available on digital, I've wasted too much money on switch due to this. That said, I FAR prefer physical and if its a game I want to keep, I want to be able to buy that fully on cart. Thankfully nintendo games will be, but other companies will leave me bitterly disappointed as time goes on.
As for preservation, all electric things have a lifespan, its going to be more about being able to periodically put the files on new carts, hdd or whatever to ensure they remain safe for generations to come.

@Saints I do. Buy film on dvd's all the time, have to use folders now to keep them though. All of mine still work from when dvd's first came out bar one. They will degrade obviously, but cheap to produce and replace.

This question has one answer, depends on the developers and their optimisation skills (and willingness). I think Nintendo has to give more of a hand to those who struggle than it did with the Switch. Also, some companies simply are better at it than others and developers should lean on them more too.

@BrokenCiv yep! Fun time to grow up

@Suketoudara would make a good horror game itself! He was a little creepy and a little psychedelic too when you saw his 'home' that was supposed to be in your tv.
Always loved when he did that to the screen though
