@-wc- "also, you arent going to have things because you cant keep them after you die? that makes zero sense. ✌️". Exactly, you can't keep them after you die, how is that confusing?
I never understood this hoarder need to keep and collect stuff. I would rather do digital even if stuff gets pulled eventually. I will be playing Switch 4 at that point to care. Plus we all will be gone someday and your prized stuff will be sold off or find it's way to the trash dump. Sorry to be a downer.
I think think it would be cool if Nintendo got better 3rd party AAA games at launch. Something more aimed at adults like an exclusive GTA , Witcher or something in that vein. And have trophies, I really enjoy those.
Who at Nintendo thought this game was a great idea? Releasing this right after Zelda Tears of Kingdom is obvious that Nintendo knows that they have a turd on their hands shadow dropping it around same time as Zelda.
I will wait until it is 33% off 5 years from now. Do want to play it but have a humongous backlog of games on Switch and PS5 (including tons of PS4 games).
If they dropped the price on some of these permanently, those numbers would be even higher. But instead they made the resale value of these games more profitable for the used game market.
I enjoyed this game on PS4. Very story driven with choices that change the outcome. There are multiple possible endings.
Dark Anthology games are really great. It will be interesting how this runs on Switch, as it is a game with more graphics.
Kind of cool, but no subtitles? I can see some angry customers and parents complaining without having this knowledge ahead of time. Hopefully they will drive that home telling folks multiple times to make sure that they know what they are buying.
@Clyde_Radcliffe The Way Remastered is a great game, but some of those puzzles later on in the game are super hard and frustrating. Even with the help of youtube videos, I struggled.
I wouldn't mind replaying Angry Birds on Switch. I think Sega wants to concentrate more on cell phone games with this purchase, but hopefully they will still bring Angry Birds over to Switch.
I went through a time when I was buying DVDs and Blue Rays several times each month. Then I realized that for most movies, I only watched once and that's it. Stopped buying them. If I really want to see a movie again, I will check my many streaming services first, and if not on them, I will just rent it. Funny thing is that it is very hard to resell these DVDs these days. Not many buy them anymore.
I am in the midst of playing Link’s Awakening Remake for Switch for the first time. Never played the original but wow, this game is awesome. Brings me back to the SNES and NES days but so well modernized. Nintendo should remake more of their games exactly like this game. I only played a couple of Zelda games in my life. This game makes me want to play more Zelda games.
Great games but love these “sales” for $40. Got to give it to Nintendo, they figured out how to make players pay full price years down the road making these evergreen
I would say 2017 was the highlight. If Nintendo releases another huge title at end of 2023, with the new Zelda this year, 2023 will be the best year. Otherwise 2017 would be the one
For months, I played Vita without realizing that the analogs were clickable. Made games so much more difficult. You think I would learn my lesson when I had PS3, where I also had this very issue. Also, when I first got PS3, I would just shut it off in middle of game, not realizing that I was interrupting game saving and corrupting them. Thought the PS3 was broken. Felt pretty dumb when I figured it out
Nintendo should be ending the year with a release of another blockbuster game: something huge like Mario Odyssey 2. Maybe even announce Switch 2 this year, that will be able to handle those Call of Duty games. That coupled with the new Zelda, they would have a killer year.
Come on Nintendo. We know that Mario movie is coming. We had a Direct for that already. How about a Direct for a new Mario game instead. It is about time for a new Mario game.
Not the popular option here, but they should just end credits all together. That's what the resume is for. Ok, maybe credit the big players, but I don't need to know who cleaned the toilets during game making (embellishing here a bit).
Physical game owners are like VHS movie owners and music CD owners refusing to go digital. Those movie and music mediums have left physical behind except for the small holdouts. Surprised it has taken this long for video games to catch up to those other mediums.
Whatever the future Nintendo console is, I want it to be able to play Switch 1 games. I want to keep that library. Maybe not the cartridges but definitely the digital purchases.
Sony targets over 18 crowd, while Nintendo targets under 18. For every Zelda or Bayonetta , there are tons of games like Kirby and Mario aimed at the younger crowd. It just happens that a bunch of adults happen to like these games. I bought Switch to play games like Borderlands because I like to play games on a handheld. Prior Nintendo consoles had less adult aimed games like Borderlands. Honestly, I got a Switch because PSP and Vita were the last handhelds aimed at adults and there is no competition until Steam came in . I do love the Switch quite a bit though. Sony is competing with Xbox for that over 18 market while Nintendo owns under 18 and also the Vita handheld owners that made the jump over due to lack of handheld competition.

What's the difference between handheld and docked modes.
Re: Talking Point: The Games We Got Rid Of - What Were We Thinking?
@LikelySatan They might keep them or they might sell them. Can't expect your kids to keep your treasures. They are your treasures, not theirs.

Re: Ubisoft Has Reportedly Cancelled Plans For An Immortals: Fenyx Rising Sequel
I really enjoyed it. Some games don't look great in the Switch handheld mode. This one looked great in that mode. Too bad about the cancellation.
Re: A New Hellboy Game Has Been Announced For Nintendo Switch
Everyone seems to like this, but to me it looks awful. And I do like Hellboy.
Re: Rain World: Downpour DLC Promises More Brutal Gameplay This Coming July

If I don’t like to build stuff, can I still play and complete the game without it?

Re: Official Nintendo Switch SD Card Line Expands With 1TB Zelda Card And Cute Yoshi Design
Umm. Why would be people want this? It goes inside the Switch never to be seen. To look cool when you have multiple cards, I guess.

Re: Talking Point: Which Other Mega Man Games Could Come To Switch?
They could do another Mega Man Collection and include all of these, and call it "Extra", "Mishmash" or "Mega Man Leftovers" or something like that.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 31st)

Re: Soapbox: 2022 Was A Watershed For Companies Taking Retro Compilations Seriously
Commodore 64 collection would be nice.
Re: Soapbox: 2022 Was A Watershed For Companies Taking Retro Compilations Seriously
I think a Simpson's collection of the older Simpsons games is needed. And remaster of more recent Simpson's games like Hit and Run.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Most Anticipated Games For 2023 (That Aren't Zelda)
I would argue that if you take away Zelda and all the cloud based games, that 2023 looks kind of bare for AAA games
Re: Talking Point: Are You Excited To See Call Of Duty Return To Nintendo Platforms?
Very excited, but these better not be cloud versions.
