@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

The sheer size of that controller, the original Xbox controller looks tiny compared to that

I really do hope this is good

Fox and the hound is sooo under-rated. Love that film and the moment they first meet is so damn adorable. Disney film of the year I was born (and Mario and Donkey Kong, of course)

Really didn't enjoy this game and felt like I wasted my money. It's great that have returned to it and worked hard to make it better, but it will be a hard pass for me, not risking being burnt twice, this game has already left a bitter taste in my mouth and I have zero enthusiasm for it.
Good for them doing a proper release though, to be commended in todays world.

@Not_Soos I pine with you. I truly hope the day comes when they make a come back and we get big original releases. Using Disney, who were once I fantastic company, it has been 16 years since we had a hand drawn one and prior to that you could see them edging further and further away from it. I think other larger film companies should be the ones to take the reigns and push it forward. There's plenty of aspiring Bluth' out there

@BringleWorkshop Looks like you have given yourself quite a task! Obviously from those screenshots it's impossible to tell which route you are going, but I'm guessing action/adventure or RPG. I presume the former, which is very much my cup of tea. I'll keep a check from time to time and have saved your page. I wish you the best of luck. Oh and once I have fully finished Santa, I'll let you know, likely will hop back on at the weekend

The Operative would be great too, really fun game. I truly miss those types of FPS, the 'Bond' era was just plain fun. Not the biggest fan of Doom style prior to it and also not a fan of multiplayer focused and blood & gore of recent, just want some silly fun single player shooting.

Yes, take my money even if only a dream

Jealous of those who haven't played it, your in for a treat. I'd like to erase my memory of it and play for the first time, sadly I ran through it a number of times back then, so it's ingrained. Wish Nintendo would bring it back, I don't count the weird handheld ones

@BringleWorkshop First of, just to clarify, when I said Troll Castle gave me Tim Burton feeling, I was referring to the music.
As for social media, I don't actually do it anymore, this site and sometimes a comment on YouTube is about my limit these days. However, if I can look without a sign on I would love to, most you can, I believe. Do you have a title as of yet?? I can make a note on my games/films not to forget list if so to keep an eye out.
I was just thinking the other day (how I remembered about your game) that the great thing about eshop, steam etc is it harkens back to the C64 and Amiga days, where someone, or a small group of people can make games sat at home just because they want too and if they can make a little from it all the better (of course, it opens the doors to shovel-ware producers which is sad as little games of quality can be lost, particularly on eshop).
Which in part is why I wanted to be sure to thank you and let you know I enjoyed it and appreciate your efforts.

@ROMhaiku agree completely.

@BringleWorkshop Hi. So, I completely forgot to buy this game and remembered about it last night, 10 months later. I have played through the first world so far and really loving it. Feels good, looks good, sounds great and that Troll Castle, other than the name giving me Mario Maker fears, had fantastic music, gave me a Tim Burton Christmas feel (those Jack in the Boxes made me lose my first bit of health and I didn't expect to see Santa strip).
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know it's fun so far and well done. Let me know on here if you have any plans or currently are making any more in this vein, I'll happily support you with a purchase, promise not to forget again.

So, Bats just had to slip the Joker a pistachio and he could've avoided all troubles with him.
Looks fun and I am kinda obsessed with Batman

@JohnnyMind be sure you do, it's a wonderful little game. I have done two playthroughs thus far and may do again in a couple of years. It's not too long either, although I'll never 100% due to arcade machines part

From screenshots 'Oh, that looks interesting'
Start trailer, less than halfway through 'Oh, that's disappointing'
Didn't even finish it, looks awful.
