“Nintendo remains a valued partner”. Obviously LOL

Fantasy Life, Decapolice & Inazuma Eleven are all scheduled to release in 2023. I'm guessing none will. Whilst extra time to get the games right is always the right course of action, over-promising & under-delivering in the first place creates frustration.

Try scrolling through the eshop it’s so laggy. Need to fix the responsiveness of the eshop

It's good that you give us a heads up on games that require a hefty download as I won't buy NBA2K series because there's a 50GB download yet I bet people bought this not knowing & not having enough storage to play their purchase.

Legacy Edition

Kinda sick of the talk and just want to see it happen. The Wii U got a COD game, it would be nice as a show of goodwill to port an old game like Advanced Warfare for current Switch gen owners before releasing new COD games simultaneously on all next gen platforms including Switch 2

The Wii U factory is upping production to produce a couple of units per year lol

Wouldn’t mind this but the price point is a bit much for a 2006 game. The Switch now has so many games that charging a “Switch tax” is likely to get your game passed over. This needs a significant sale for me to jump in.

I don’t even know why they bother with having a patch note like this. It’s so vague and as unspecific as possible that it means NOTHING

I bought this and have sunk a couple of hours in and overall it’s good. I had a sound glitch so I had to reset it but it’s easily the best NFL game on the Switch

Gutted. At least it hasn’t been cancelled I suppose

Definitely a company that Aspyrs to mediocrity and deception

I’ve got 3 digital & 4 physical on the Switch. That’s all I need especially considering October is a massive month for releases and my wallet will be hurting

It’s a 10GB download and I’m guessing there’s no physical release. Tough sell for me.

I won’t be getting the DLC. Very disappointed with the main game. Fool me once….

I find it astonishing that a state of the art game with cutting edge graphics like this from a major publisher released with these issues

I’m not sure I’m going to get it because the reviews for this are mixed but I’m very happy that these type of big budget 3rd party major franchises are being released on my beloved Switch.

I’ve been hearing about Wylde Flowers. Is that any good?

Love the mechanics of this even though I'm not a fan of the graphical style. Love seeing a 2D platformer priced affordably, am I pointing the finger at Super Mario wonder? LOL

October is ridiculous. I think it might be the best month for games in the history of the Switch with insane 3rd party support. So far we've got coming in October the physical of Red Dead Redemption, Batman Trilogy, Metal Gear Collection, Borderlands 3, Super Mario Wonder, Sonic Superstars, Detective Pikachu as well as some smaller but great games like Wild Card Football, Disgaea 7, Hot Wheels 2 and heaps more. There's no relief in November cos that's stacked too. My poor wallet.

Why do they purchase them to shut them down months later. I don’t get it

@Friscobay Nailed it, best comment so far

I doubt I’ll pay $60 for a 2D platformer. Back in 1995 I would’ve paid full price though. I’m curious to see if a 2D platformer is Nintendo Direct worthy. Who knows maybe it is special enough to change my mind.

It looks amazing. I’m tempted to get the wireless one.

@Stamina_Wheel Thanks for the heads up. I will wait patiently for the physical in October

You’ll need a 10 TB micro-sd card for this title. The devs haven’t heard of the word “compression”.

Seriously the 2nd half of this year is ridiculously stacked, more stacked than at anytime in the history of the Switch IMO. So much 3rd party support i.e. Batman, Red Dead, Persona, Level 5 games, then you’ve got Mario RPG & Wonder and sooo much more. My wife will be looking at the bank statement and asking me questions for sure. LOL

@Cashews Yeh & Nintendo Life don't mention it in their NBA2K reviews, like the size doesn't matter & we've got infinite space. Yet for myself it's critical in my buying decision. It's 3 times the size of Tears of the Kingdom & it's just a basketball game LMAO. I guess the term "compression" is a foreign concept to the devs.

Waiting for Wild Card Football. If I wanted a game like this I’d still be playing 4th & Inches on the Commodore 64. 1987 it aint.

After the poor framerate & performance of Scarlet/Violet I actually don't even care if they don't announce a new game. My excitement for Pokemon is definitely dying with every disappointing release. If Game Freak continue in this trajectory they'll end up destroying the IP in much the same way that Sega have destroyed Sonic for me. I used to love Sonic & now like most people I hardly care when a new Sonic game comes out because you can't trust the quality. Game Freak need to lift their game.

@Reptilio You’re on point. $60 for a 2D sidescrolling platformer might’ve moved units in 1993 but 30 years later in 2023 not so much. The game will probably sell well but it’s unlikely to get people to buy a Switch imo.

Some of these sales figures have not been updated since 2021? Nintendo don’t release digital sales figures so what are they hiding? The first thing that comes to my mind is questions around tax but as I have no idea I’d love to know what everyone else thinks is the reason Nintendo don’t report digital sales. Also why isn’t this discussed?

I don’t understand why Nintendo put effort into an event which takes a few hours. Time/cost vs reward doesn’t add up. Add more permanent content instead would be preferable

@Thexare I know right. Going by the comments some people enjoyed this article. It didn’t resonate with me at all.

Fingers crossed. GTAIV would be nice too. But don't give it to Grove Street to do the port.

I voted for 1080 however I would’ve voted for DK if it wasn’t specified as Donkey Kong Country only which is the 2D instalment. I want a new 3D DK in a similar vein to DK64 the most

You’ll complete the game in half the time with the aid of those 2 dazzlefruit. Try and resist such a generous offer.

I’ll probably just stick with my $6 preowned physical copy of FIFA19. It doesn’t seem to look any better than that from the trailer

This showcase is great if it was 1997.

@Sisilly_G The comment you made that you’re not excited about MK8D because although there’s heaps of tracks they basically play the same resonates with me. I couldn’t put my finger on why I don’t care about the new content until I read your comment

Please review this

I agree. It’s fine and enjoyable. I think it’s worth it because I have nostalgia for the originals. Much better than when it first launched. Complaints are minor now, at launch they were major.

Looking forward to this. I hope it’s feature rich with lots of different modes

I had alot of these & personally I loved DK64 more than the Banjo Kazooie games. SM64 was the best but DK64 a very close second.

Do you need more than 1 Nintendo Switch to do local co-op or is it couch co-op where u only need 1 switch and 1 copy of the game? For a game who’s strength is multiplayer it would be nice for this to be made clear in a review

With over 20 million sales at $60 per copy that’s over a billion dollars. No excuse for it to run so bad. Absolute disgrace Game Freak.

Stability updates are so 2022. This year is all about bad word updates.

@Itachi2099 Spot on comment. Well said sir

I’m actually ok with this especially after Metal Gear Solid situation. Also glad it’s not cloud. Seriously I would’ve paid full price for one game but we’re getting the whole trilogy

I’m going to get it but there was no real “wow” factor for me. Very modest upgrade IMO.
