@WhiteTrashGuy This is understandable. But I'd say the 4 main Super Famicom games are all on the same level of awesomeness as the N64 games, if you didn't play them
@RoboCube This is such a weird comment. Sonic Adventure 1&2 and Heroes (and 06) were the games that shove as many characters as they could. They stopped doing that after 06, it's been almost only Sonic for 20 years.
Year of Shadow was one of the best marketing strategy I've seen, it really brought me back to Sonic after years of not being really interested.
But I don't feel like it can be repeated, Shadow's popularity and hype factor are just on a different level. Amy is fun and popular, but I have a hard time imagining a Year of Amy being exciting like the Year of Shadow.
But maybe it's ok, maybe it doesn't have to be as hype as Shadow, it just needs to be more exciting than any regular year.
I'm loving this game so far, but I really hope they'll release a Switch 2 update to make it 60fps. It's playable at 30fps, but it's not as smooth as it's supposed to be.
@burndive I absolutely want TP on GC NSO. It's one of my favorite games ever and I don't really want them to remake it. It's such a good game, I feel like it would be hard to make it really better, but easy to make it worse.
The HD version was better, but not that much. The original versions are still great.
And if it's on NSO, I won't have to buy it a 4th time.
I was very hyped for this collection and I planned to buy it day 1. But with the Switch 2 releasing the following month... I'll save my money for the Switch 2
@Bigmanfan The series initially had yearly releases (1,2,3,4,5). The team was so tired on working on those games that they tried to kill Lara, but they were asked to continue even though Lara was supposed to be dead.
I think I would have preferred if there was no explanation to his muteness in EoW. Already too many people were saying that Link never talks because he's mute, but now it's true in one game. It will just add to the confusion
Not a big deal, but when I read that, I was like "oh boy, they went there".
That's a shame. It's my favorite shmup ever and I've been considering getting it again on Switch for a while... but I guess I'll have to decide soon now

Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 2) - A Delightful Yet Difficult '90s Throwback
@splinters It's a Capcom-developed games collection, based on cartoons from the Disney Afternoon block.
Quackshot was not developed by Capcom and was not a Disney Afternoon cartoon
Re: Konami And M2 Announce New Goemon Switch Collection, Here Are The 13 Retro Titles Included
This is the announcement I've been hoping to see at every Direct since Konami started doing retro collections
It will be an insta-buy. And if (""""if""") it's eventually localized, I'll rebuy it

Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase February 2026: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
@Mana_Knight It doesn't look like it will release outside Japan, sadly
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase February 2026: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
@Mana_Knight The Goemon collection was announced today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ-NpfuGULg
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase February 2026: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
From the english Direct, Bomberman is the winner
But overall, the Goemon collection from the japanese Direct is the highlight. I've been asking for this for years.
For my personal tastes, this is the best Direct ever
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Today, 5th February 2026
@mackers84 AND I WON !!! They announced a Goemon collection in the japanese direct!
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 5th February 2026
Let's go Konami, it's Goemon time!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment?
It's honestly the #1 game that made me buy a Switch 2.
Re: Sonic Team's Boss Wants To Put More Sonic Characters In The Spotlight
@RoboCube No I didn't play the mobile games, I was talking about console games. And it was a generalization, I know that it's not 100% only Sonic.

Re: Team Ninja Founder And Industry Veteran Tomonobu Itagaki Has Passed Away
That news affected me a lot yesterday morning. Itagaki-san was one of my biggest inspirations, he had an amazing vision for fun and flashy games.
DOA4 is still one of my favorite games of all time and maybe my most played game ever. It's a fighting game masterpiece imo.
RIP Itagaki-san
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
@X68000 Yes it's amazing, I just refinished it
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
Goemon Collection
or a new Bakeru game
Let's go!
Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound (Switch) - A Gorgeous & Gory Return To The Series' 2D Roots
I'm loving this game so far, but I really hope they'll release a Switch 2 update to make it 60fps. It's playable at 30fps, but it's not as smooth as it's supposed to be.
Re: Feature: 33 Games With 'Secret' Performance Bumps You Should Revisit On Switch 2
@Linnybhoy Bakeru? Yes it's easy. But it's fun even if it's easy
Re: Reaction: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Instantly Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2025
It just got really more interesting, but I'm still more hyped for Metroid and Hyrule Warriors
Re: Best Mario Kart Games Of All Time
@John_Deacon and in that case it should have been #1
Re: Best Mario Kart Games Of All Time
Sure, World is new. But it feels wrong to put it at #5. I was expecting it to be #1 or #2.
Re: Feature: 11 Games With 'Secret' Performance Bumps You Should Revisit On Switch 2
@RupeeClock Nah it's not because of Unity. It's possible to make 30FPS games with Unity without input delay.
Re: Feature: 11 Games With 'Secret' Performance Bumps You Should Revisit On Switch 2
@BotGaiden Sadly, Contra OG still has a big input lag.
Re: Feature: 11 Games With 'Secret' Performance Bumps You Should Revisit On Switch 2
60fps Bakeru is a dream
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Slashes Its Way Onto The Switch eShop This July
Looks epic
A bit disappointed that the girl isn't Ayane, but still cool
Re: New Yakuza 0 Opening Movie Builds The Hype For Switch 2 Launch
@Vyacheslav333 Kiwami 1 & 2 were not on Wii U, it's the original Yakuza 1&2 that were on Wii U. Kiwami 2 was released during the Switch era.
Also, Kiwami 2 was made on a different, superior engine (Dragon Engine). It would have to be downgraded to be ported to Switch 1.
But yea, Yakuza 0 could have been on Switch 1, it's indeed a PS3 game.
Re: Full Game List Revealed For Atari's Upcoming Bubsy Collection
@YoshiAngemon The Gex Trilogy collection is coming, it's already announced.
Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO
@ElkinFencer10 Because it's already announced

Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO
I'm guessing NintendoLife forgot Twilight Princess was on GameCube.
Re: Hands On: Capcom Fighting Collection 2 - Come For The Power Stone, Stay For The Project Justice
I was very hyped for this collection and I planned to buy it day 1. But with the Switch 2 releasing the following month... I'll save my money for the Switch 2
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
I want Konami to announce a Goemon collection.
Re: Zelda's Got Nothing On Divine Dynamo Flamefrit's Grass-Cutting Mechanic
I'm hype for that one. Zelda-like, with early 2000s anime aesthetic and with Goemon Impact fights. It's right up my alley.
Re: Review: Sonic X Shadow Generations (Switch) - A Blistering Return To Form For Both Hedgehogs
@Serpenterror I know it's made by Dimps and what they made. Did you just insinuate that Sonic 4 was good?
Re: Review: Sonic X Shadow Generations (Switch) - A Blistering Return To Form For Both Hedgehogs
@Serpenterror The 3DS version kinda sucked though
Re: Random: Skull Kid "Clocks In" To Super Smash Bros. In This Awesome Fan-Made Trailer
It's cool. It doesn't feel like a Smash Reveal trailer, but it's cool
Re: Poll: What's The Best Ys Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking
I always say that Oath in Felghana is my favorite, but in recent years, I've been returning to Ys I & II a lot more, expecially the TG-CD version.
Re: Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered Shoots Onto Switch Next Year
@Bigmanfan The series initially had yearly releases (1,2,3,4,5). The team was so tired on working on those games that they tried to kill Lara, but they were asked to continue even though Lara was supposed to be dead.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Acknowledges Potential Easter Egg In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
I'd like it to be true... but honestly Rogma doesn't sound like a Reggie reference at all.
Re: Random: There's A Reason Link Can't Speak In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
@KayFiOS Yep I'm not far into the game, but that's also the feeling I got when I saw the ruins in the desert.
Re: Random: There's A Reason Link Can't Speak In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
@Anti-Matter Voice acting is expensive and won't add much to this game.
I rather have no voice acting than the poor voice acting of BOTW/TOTK
Re: Random: There's A Reason Link Can't Speak In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
@Serpenterror Link speaks in the other games, we just don't see it.
For example, Link talks with Zelda when they meet in Ocarina of Time, we just don't see Link's answers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B36DZ3lnzRA
There are plenty of examples like that in the series. Echoes of Wisdom's Link is the first mute Link.
Also, it can't be before Skyward Sword, Hyrule didn't exist yet.

Re: Capcom Outlines Its 'Tokyo Game Show 2024' Online Program
@Serpenterror Since they put BOF1 and BOF2 on NSO, it makes me feel they don't plan on making a Breath of Fire collection at all.
Which is a bit weird considering they are Capcom and they make tons of collections
Same for Ghosts n Goblins, they added Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ghouls 'n Ghosts and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts on NSO instead.
Re: '8-Bit Adventures 2' Looks Like A Solid Throwback To Old-School Final Fantasy
The title screams "there's nothing interesting about our game"
It doesn't look bad though... but that title leaves a bad first impression
Re: Sonic Team Would "Love" To Remaster The Advance Series, Says Takashi Iizuka
@PikminMarioKirby You might be confusing the Advance games with the Adventure games. The 3rd Sonic movie is focusing a lot on Sonic Adventure 2.
Re: Soapbox: Switch Really Needs Third-Party Profile Icons - Here Are Our Top Picks
I'm pretty sure I'd pay real money for a Goemon profile icon.
Re: Inti Creates' New Project Is A Pixel Art Adventure Inspired By Zelda And '90s Anime
I was already sold, and then they show Goemon Impact boss fights. Must buy
Re: Bullet-Hell Shmup 'Mushihimesama' To Be Delisted From The Switch eShop
