The offline play argument just doesn't really make any sense to me, but if someone would like to go in more detail about it, I'd love to hear it because maybe I'm missing something in regards to why people bring it up.

You don't have to play Overwatch any differently than you would on a PS4 or your laptop. The graphical downgrades, sure, I understand those points. The offline one? I just don't get it.

Personally, I'd play a game like this docked at home or over a friends house, or even try to play it somewhere with a stable internet connection. It being on a platform like this just becomes another option for the Nintendo audience.

I already preordered. It wasn't that expensive and seems like a great way to kill some time.

A lot of you guys haven't seen how many people liked the NoA tweet I take it. Nobody cares that its late. They're just happy its finally coming, and not that far away either.

The plot actually sounds interesting to me.

@BigKing
It was a first year switch game that wasn't on par with other systems. I'm sure it didn't sell as well as the others for having both a smaller install base than other systems at the time, and for other people similar to me unwilling to pay for a version that didn't offer what the others had.

EA isn't the only 3rd party out there. When they get on Bethesda levels of loyalty then I'll think about acknowledging EA then.

I bought the Naruto Trilogy last week, but I suppose I can mark it now. Lol

@justin233
Thank you! I wasn't able to check the eshop today, so I was going by the list provided here. I appreciate it.

Thank you, thank you.
I really wanted this game, but its 24.99 so I wanted to hear a second opinion first. It didn't help that there weren't too many people that seemed interested when it released. A 7 for the experience seems fine to me, so I'll eventually pick it up. Value is a huge plus, and it seems like a fun experience.

I'm bummed. All I wanted was the Naruto trilogy, but apparently it's not getting a NA release. ;_;

I currently have enough gold points for six dollars off something now, which in the current moment feels awesome to me. I do hope to continue to see an evolution to it over time in some way however.

This was a good read.
I'm glad that it's still unique and interesting despite its few shortcomings. Still a definite purchase from me tomorrow. Thanks for the review. (:

@BigYellow
It's more for the comment where they clapped their hands. We. Can. Do. Whatever. We. Want. Or something of that nature.
Which is very much true, but it could have been said a lot more tastefully. They made a post saying how they wanted a Switch dev kit and even one saying they received a Switch dev kit, which has gotten some people's hopes up that it may be coming to the platform eventually. It would have been nice for an actual follow up to that by stating they would not be bringing the game to Switch for whatever reasons.

I kind of want these actually. c:

While a tad bit disappointing it's not a deal breaker for me. I didn't think it would be in the first place. (Maybe that's me being cynical. haha)
It's a game I have never played before, with a decent price point(cheaper than LA Noire for instance with the DLC).

The Switch's user base is rising steadily too, so I don't think it'll be hard to find people to partner up with personally if interest in this game on the go is there. I'm just glad it's coming to Switch. It's a nice era to be in.

@StuTwo
Geez, there's PushSquare for positive Playstation news. They are sister sites.
I mean, after all, it's not like PushSquare mentions all of Nintendo's shining moments as a Playstation news site. Obviously, there will be a Nintendo bias on a Nintendo site.

@BezBot
Yeah, until New Years Eve I believe.

Reminds me of Fantasy Life, but it doesn't really look good.

I'm really loving the game so far, and I have to admit that I love the idea of more content more so now than I did before release, though I still have yet to actually purchase the pass.
The 'X' button fix is actually something I didn't know I wanted, but can see myself appreciating quite a bit.

Thanks for improving the game Monolith Soft!

I'm really happy it's doing well. It's nice being able to chat with others about it, and they know what I'm speaking of for once.
It's refreshing and it's been great fun since I had it.

Kudos Nintendo! Here's wishing you continued success.

I might get this. It actually looks pretty cool.

Hmm, maybe I'm missing why this is surprising (at least for cereal eaters in America). xD

Kellogg's has done this previously with Dora the Explorer and Frozen cereal. (Same cereal like pieces with marshmallows). Probably even other franchises as well since I'm not always shopping down the cereal aisle. It's just a nice collaboration.

@Radbot42
Considering a pack of Animal Crossing Amiibo cards was roughly $4.99, cheaper than it's figurine counterpart, I can see this cereal box Amiibo being standard price.

Heehee Atlas. x3

@jwfurness
At noon usually. I believe they normally post the update list a few hours before it all goes live.

It is refreshing to see Nintendo winning awards for quality games that I would recommend everyone play (even though it's mostly BotW that swept the board here).
I'm happy for them. Hopefully this is the start of a wonderful award season for Nintendo.

@Kirizame
While I still hold on to the fact that technically there is no such thing as a flawless game in the first place, I appreciate that you can at least back up why you wouldn't be in agreement with the reviewer. Your bullet points do more to shed light on what can be found within the game that the review itself, so I appreciate you taking the time to list these for me. (:

I was in no way defending the score. I actually agree with plenty here that say the review is light in information that would explain definitively why they could give it a flawless recommendation, however, it is still true that a lot of other reviewers scored it highly so there has to be something there.

I haven't played the game to say rather this score is true or not. My point was simply that it's funny that many criticize the review score without even playing it. A review is just that person's opinion based on their experience with the game themselves after all.

Personally, I just see the 10, and the other high scores given to this game, as letting me know that the game is enjoyable for what it is for the catch 'em all genre, but again, no 10 will ever be received unanimously. The timing for this game was all wrong. This should have been a gap year, or they could have released the new content as DLC as you said.

@Melkac
It still has high ratings from others sites. Quite a few 9s so there has to be something there. Nintendolife is the only 10, but its still seen as great by many who have actually played it.

@KTT
And I hope you have a great experience with it, and that they tweaked the overall performance and the frames are steady.
If possible, I would like to hear what you think about it once you play it. I really don't think I'll pick it up myself with so many Switch games out or coming soon on the horizon.

Still, if they didn't adjust any of those things the score really wouldn't be justified because it does effect the gameplay negatively. I honestly hope they did, since there is no reason not to iron out what the originals got wrong.

@JubilifeRival
Hmm, maybe it is souped up.
Or these games could be an honest improvement and then some with the added content.
I'm more into community reviews anyway because normally you come to your own conclusion upon reading a few different ones.
Kind of like famitsu(which got four 9s from them btw) but more honest I think.
Either way, I won't know personally because I have no interest in picking this up.
I just think it's hard to judge the reviewers score as off without actually being able to back it up because you haven't played or experienced it. ^^;

@KTT
I played the game, I finished the game, and I can admit that I didn't notice any of those performance issues, or if I did, I didn't let it bother me for long since I don't remember them now. In the end, I enjoyed them for what they were, though they were far from my favorites.

However, I get that reviewers should nitpick games for performance issues and plenty of other things too of course. That should shine through, the same way I agree that this review could have way more explained, even if it is more comparing and contrasting between the two. Something more than, as you said, we could find out just from reading the games page.

@KTT
I never said games without performance issues of any kind. It's honestly rare to find a game with a 10/10 on various sites, or not, that do not have any at all. It's just not a bar that many, if any, games achieve.

In that way reviewers are kind of in a tight spot. How do they judge a game? Should any game get a 10? If a game has a 10 I just automatically assume that it'll be fun and enjoyable, and not frustrating like the camera jerking in crazy ways. On an overall scale, most people will have a great time with it. You will never please everyone, but most will love it.

@leostacks
Cheapens a ten? Really?
If the game is enjoyable, playable, and has close to no performance issues which means a greater number of people will have a great time with the purchase, I don't see what the problem is.

I do understand how you feel, but what's the point of holding off from a ten?
Nintendolife doesn't score to the decimal point like other sites do, so it could be rounding up to the closest whole number.
Each site has their way of doing things after all.

@tsdenizen
I understand how you feel. Honestly, I have zero interest in the title because I played sun and moon.

My point is that, when the reviewer played, he felt the new features improved upon that experience.

Considering we haven't actually played it ourselves, while we may not feel it to be 10 quality, it may be a worthy experience, especially for those grabbing this game for the first time. This was the reviewers opinion on it.

Simply because of how soon it released after the first game and that it wasn't exactly an outstanding experience, its easy to say that this game has to suck. But I haven't played it. It could be better in every way.

And I said what I did because if this game isn't worthy of a ten I want to hear why not from someone else who has played it. Community reviews are usually what I pay attention to more anyway.

This review is already under attack.

If you want to go around claiming these games aren't deserving of the score given, it must mean you have played these games yourself correct? ^^

I'd love to listen but only if you can describe what it is that truly takes away from this game. I'm all ears. (:

@Late
The new games feel a bit easier than that of the original trilogy. It kind of walks you through where you need to be, like when examining a room.

In the old games, you had way more freedom to walk around and explore as you saw fit. Sometimes getting lost on what it was you needed to do next. I like the new games, but they are missing a bit of something the original trilogy had. At least to me.

The only way I can really be happy with this is if it includes The Great Ace Attorney (2 pack with the second game would be epic) and maybe an Investigations 2 pack for us here in the west. I already own every Ace Attorney available to us on both ds and 3ds. I can't see myself triple dipping. And in the case of the first game quad dipping since I own it on Wii U.

Hmm, 10 million in 11 days.
I'll give it a giant maybe, but unlike previous entries, I don't think I'll be getting this day 1.
I'm just...not excited by these games at all.

@JJ286
It's obviously a Wii U successor just by viewing Nintendo's very own actions.
The Wii U is kaput and they are still supporting the 3ds until next year!

The 3ds didn't even have HD graphics, or any of the good bells and whistles that Switch brings, so it's more of a mash up of what the Wii U controller did, but more on the go and disconnected. The Wii U was just a filler episode until the Switch released.

Yes, it's portable, but in the eyes of Nintendo itself, the Nintendo Switch was a Wii U replacement. Besides, its the best of both worlds anyway. Want to play on your TV? Or sitting with friends in tabletop mode? Or just in handheld mode on a bus? There's a way to play for everyone.

Would have been better off if they waited a month or two after release to talk about expansion passes.

The game isn't even in anyones homes and they're talking about adding content to a game none of us has played yet? It'd be more suiting AFTERWARDS because then MAYBE people will be almost done with the core game and would be like 'hey, this is cool because I loved how final and finished the main campaign was! At least I get to continue to journey well into 2018!', but talking about new content for a game we haven't played yet is...pretentious. Especially with that horrible looking price tag. Bleh.

I really want this game. I love chess.

'What a bunch of jokers!'

@OorWullie
I agree with that. That's why I opted to get the physical version. If the digital was 15 like on other platforms I would have bought it at that price point, but considering I get discounts on physical games I decided that was the best option for this game for me.

I do think its a bad trend, and I hope it changes somewhere soon down the line. Even with bonus content it doesn't warrant a 15 dollar increase.

I bought this and plan to play it before Odyssey. I know I'm in a minority, but it looks charming. Sure, compared to Mario, its going to be buried due to being released way too close, but I personally will enjoy both of these titles.

Im getting Poi retail and Super Mario Odyssey myself.
Not sure why so many think you can only buy and focus on one game around here. xP

Wish I could have got one. Oh well. Let's see if Nintendo really will stock more I guess.

It does actually look like it could be fun and the price isn't bad at all.

One of the patches made the game smaller in size I think (I don't own the game to say for sure), so it shouldn't be massive I wouldn't imagine.
Either way, my friend owns the game and enjoys it, so I can only imagine that this will actually really make it worthy of a purchase.

If the tail was accurately fluffy too it would be well worth it. It looks kinda weird to me due to that.

The developers mention Q12018 Switch release in the comments, so not until next year, but I definitely have interest in this as well!

Interesting plot.
