I mean, I feel like most people already expected something like this to exist in Tears of The Kingdom. It is a much appreciated feature, but also very expected.
Definitely sounds like a game right up my alley, but I don't want to lose any visual fidelity, so I will have to play it elsewhere. PlayStation 5 it is!
To be honest, I didn't think it looked that great in the first place. It could improve over time, but I don't think there is much they could do to secure a purchase from me. My kids would also lose interest quickly.
Pretty cool designs, though I am honestly happy with my 256 GB card. I don't mind having to reinstall bigger games when I want to play them again. I will probably upgrade to a much bigger card for the next Nintendo console though.
I think, Nintendo creating more experiences that a lot of us can enjoy with our families and create those special memories is super important for most people, and I trust Nintendo's guidance to respect the properties they have created with the establishment of new silver screen product. I am all for more burned into my memory type of experiences, especially from properties I already love.
Donut Dodo looks so good! I kind of want it. And on a similar note, we need to keep this series going so we can get a spotlight on more games that Nintendo Life may have missed that deserved some attention. This is a great asset to this website.
Edit: Decided to get it. The gameplay is so fun! And at 5 bucks, you can hardly argue. Just look at that artwork!
I am wondering how many of the copies in his collection actually boot up when inserted into an NES. Perhaps he is one of those guys that cleans them up and gets them working if they don't already.
Pretty cool to see both PlayStation 5 and all Nintendo Switch models neck and neck in sales. Both great systems in their own right. I am honestly kind of getting to the point where I am wanting the next Nintendo console to be announced so I can see what I have to look forward to.
Nintendo Labo is one of those things that I enjoyed seeing other people create, but I never had any desire to do so myself. I would like to see more support for Labo sets so I could see what else was possible. I just wouldn't purchase any for myself. More than anything, I just like seeing Nintendo try new things and see what sticks. That is one of my favorite things about Nintendo.
I am not really planning on purchasing any games this week, but the only one that I would be remotely interested in from the looks of this list is Shadows Over Loathing. Most of the other games wouldn't hold my interest.
@EarthboundBenjy Yes I was, but I ended up getting Final Fantasy X shortly after getting my PlayStation 2, and I had no desire to play PlayStation 1 games at the time. I was enjoying the graphical fidelity of my new console.
Final Fantasy X was my first, though I never originally wanted it to be my first. I just didn't have a NES, SNES, or PlayStation 1, so my first opportunity to play one was on PlayStation 2. Which is why Final Fantasy X was my first. And to be honest, I haven't played too many of them. I am much more of a Kingdom Hearts fan than a Final Fantasy fan.
This one looks pretty nice. I think I have had my fill of Build A Bear Pokémon stuffed animals though. I have the Eevee one, and my son has the Pikachu one. I don't know if there is any franchise they could base one off of, that would convince me to secure another purchase.
The detail on this particular Lego set is pretty impressive and I kind of want to get one for myself. Also, that commercial was pretty entertaining as well.
I mean, I am going to go with the Nintendo 64 classic from Ocarina of Time. When I think of Ganondorf, that character model is the first one I think of, followed by WindWaker Ganon.
I don't watch a bunch of The Completionist these days but I do appreciate his passion for video games in general. I am happy to see that it has bled into development for new games and I am happy for his success.
I love the look of this one, and I am happy to see another title that many people haven't gotten to play (including myself) get an opportunity to try another game from a bygone era. That makes me happy.
@rockodoodle Exactly, which is why I still debate playing it myself. There is enough content to justify playing it again, but since the gameplay is the exact same, I am unsure how long my attention would stick with game.
Honestly, some of these games actually look pretty solid. I am not too unhappy with these additions. Embarrassingly though, I haven't played any of the current titles on the Sega Genesis emulator... I have been too busy with other games.
Honestly, I am actually pretty stoked for this. We usually see a bunch of cool gems that we wouldn't know about otherwise. I will definitely check this out.
@rockodoodle I am worried that I might get bored of it even with the new maps and characters, but I have considered playing it again. I have been letting my kids play my brother's copy and they have really been enjoying it. I forgot how nice the game looked too, though I didn't have as nice of a TV in the Wii U days so that could be a part of that. The game definitely doesn't show its age.
I would say that regardless of the next franchise they choose, it needs to be a franchise that has a deeper focus on storytelling. And Nintendo has a bunch of franchises that have that focus, so the possibilities are endless at this point.
I am really curious to see what will come out of this. I also wonder what Sega sees in them considering the declining popularity of Angry Birds. In any event, seeing how this plays into Sega's future will be fun to watch.
Well deserved. When I think of video games in general, there is only one song that comes to mind, and it is this one. Couldn't have made a better choice.
There haven't exactly been a whole lot of big releases from Nintendo recently. I am more interested in seeing how long The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom stays in the top slots after it launches!
The problem for me is that his personality is that of someone in their 20's, but his look is of someone in their early 30's. Mario sure is a complicated dude!

Re: Review: Afterimage - An Attractive, Sprawling Metroidvania That Struggles On Switch
Something about the art style though doesn't really stick with me. Don't think I will be picking this one up.
Re: Zelda amiibo Are Getting Restocked On May 12th, Pre-Order Now (US)
What a shame, no $5 price tag like the Metroid or Zelda Loftwing one through GameStop. 😆
