@Ultimapunch Blaming Nintendo’s ridiculous pricing on “owning the libs” is next level absurdity.

September honestly felt like the most obvious month to release. I knew it was a few months off but there's no way it would compete with Pokemon. Also, for some reason, I feel like Nintendo likes to release remakes/remasters in September, a month that is usually extremely slow for releases.

@Heavyarms55 Naw, I honestly wish more people were like you. So often, it's either "You're all criminal scum for emulating" or "Who would pay money for a 30 year old game?", and rarely in between. I own a Pi and emulate quite often, but I also have quite the legit collection of Virtual Console titles and other classic titles on other platforms (PSX on PS3/Vita for example). It's just refreshing to not see an instant flame war when the subject comes up now.

Will be picking this up as soon as it drops below $40, mainly because my laptop runs the game already just fine, but I would adore the increased portability of the Switch version. Just not enough to double dip at $60. 😅

@thesilverbrick We all do.

You know it's possible to simulate screen images, right? Most likely, they're just holding controllers and pretending to play while the footage was added in post without realizing that it wasn't on the SNES Mini by default (or just not caring).

I certainly need no intro to these romsets. I just hope there's an archive organization always around so we'll never lose access to such wonderful NES, SNES, Game Boy, GBA, and other wonderful classic games that some are nigh-on impossible to buy these days.

@PanurgeJr I'm not encouraging anyone to not speak their minds, I'm saying making inflammatory politically-driven jabbing comments on a video game website has zero positive effect. It unnecessarily riles up people who feel like they're being accused of something that is definitely not true just because they fall into said basket.

Also, those are your opinions, which you're entitled to, but there is no certifiable evidence to either of those claims, especially the NRA being a terrorist organization... (Trump not defending the US from Putin's comments was not ideal behavior from our leader, but it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to call that traitorous.) There's just so many sensationalistic comments made these days just to appeal for emotional responses. And I'm talking about people on both sides of the aisle, especially Trump and many of his Twitter tirades. But go ahead and reply with the evidence I'm sure you have bookmarked (mentally or digitally) for instances like these. I still contend this is a silly platform for a discussion like this, no place for name calling, accusations, what have you. It's just a waste of time and finger energy.

@Agramonte NRA supporter too. I'm just not a fan of overgeneralization period. So easy to say "everyone in this basket acts this way" and have it not be true.

@Agramonte These overgeneralizing political jabs are so dumb. It's uncalled for. I am a Trump supporter (don't agree with everything he's done, but I'm not going to get into a pointless discussion in the NL comment section regardless). Comments like yours have no net positive effect. It just serves to increase the vitriol and divide in America.

I have no interest in this game and I can afford my Switch, just as a by-the-way. 🇺🇲

@Cobalt Well, I mean, you can literally commit arson. You can't literally fly to the moon under your own manpower.

@daveh30 Friggin' saaaaaaaaaaame.

@kevin74 Because it's crappy PETA shilling

@Anti-Matter 😂 You'd be surprised how many people could be fooled.

@pbb76 AHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHA

YEEHEHEHHEHHEEEHEHEHESSSSSSSS

@pbb76 That review was...

WONDAHFUL!

Standing ovation! Standing ovation!

Whatever you do, please don't confuse Cat Quest with Kitten Squad when you're on the eShop...

Oh, I'm sure these comments will be nice and civil...

I wish I could get a Pro Controller with an octagonal gate like on the GC Controller and Wii Classic Controller. I don't wanna give up my wireless controller, but man is it a lot easier to put those Farore's Winds RIGHT on the spot with an octo-gate. I'll get used to it though, I played plenty on the 3DS with the sliding Circle Pad.

@JorrieQPO It's not for everyone. I didn't enjoy it until one of my cousins begged me to play it with him and showed me the ropes so he wouldn't always have to play solos. Took me about 3 weeks but I've been playing it nightly since.

@rharalson it's absolutely worth every penny, but I don't feel that bad because I already bought the game at full price on Steam. Just throwing it out there for people who may not be able to afford the extra $7 for whatever reason.

Thankfully, I'll pretty much be able to keep my PS4 Battle Pass in perpetuity because you get enough V-Bucks early on to just buy next season's Battle Pass if you don't go spending in the item shop willy nilly. I'm gonna get a Battle Pass here next season. It's just way too late in the season for me to worry about it right now on the Switch/Xbox.

@Fake-E-Lee & everyone else: You can pick Hollow Knight up from the Mexican eShop for about $7.28 USD. All you gotta do is temporarily change your region in your account settings on Nintendo.com. You can buy the game and immediately change back to your region. I just tried it and it worked perfectly. Thanks to /u/Kyuubee on Reddit for that tip.

Also, glad you quit smoking, that's huge!

I need to run up to the bank again today to put some more money on my card... You're killing me, Nintendo, and I love it.

@MoonKnight7 Indeed, I remember saying to myself, "we're 25 minutes in and we've seen one game and a bunch of middle-aged dudes doing their impression of the Twitch @ E3 panel". It was STUPID. TLOU2 looks amazing, but all that fluff was entirely unnecessary. Also, why wouldn't they have some footage playing during that banjo recital? Everything about it was so awkward.

All in all though, I was just expecting more. Like, this is the biggest show all year and this is the best you could trot out? Again, I'd like to repeat that the footage shown was awesome and they're looking like terrific games, but it feels like Sony just doesn't take E3 as seriously as they used to anymore.

After the mediocrity of the Sony and Xbox shows, I'm just hoping Nintendo delivers the goods in any form or fashion.

Sony's show was literally "here's the same games we've been showing for three E3s now, plus some samurai games". Sure the footage was very nice but by the end of it, I honestly couldn't believe that's all we got. Best thing I saw was the KH3 Pirates trailer.

Microsoft's show was better, but not by a massive amount. More reveals, but nothing that made me get super hyped. I'm not a Halo fan, so perhaps that would've done much more for me. KH3 was the best part of that show again for me, but Forza Horizon 4 was a close second.

EA is bringing Madden back to PC, so yay, but nothing else of interest. Bethesda with the TES: Legends Switch reveal and the TES6 confirmation were great, but meh otherwise. Ubisoft showed basically nothing of interest for me. Starlink is cool, but I don't need more amiibo-like toys floating around my house that I won't be using in 3 months. Square Enix gave us some more KH3 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider goodness, but little else of worth.

So, please Nintendo. The pitcher has thrown you a slow fastball right in the center of the strike zone. Knock it out of the park.

HEJA BVB

@brunojenso Unravel 1 has been confirmed that it will not be ported by one of the developers in a tweet. I don't believe he said anything about Unravel 2. Basic gist is that it would cost them too much to port it over because they're a small company. EA would have to give them the money to do the port, and they have not done so.

@Meaty-cheeky No guarantee that those would sell well enough to justify production costs. Madden isn't really that popular outside the US, whereas FIFA is pretty much a worldwide phenomenon. Command & Conquer is more well suited to the phone, it would be pretty hard to monetize it well enough on the Switch to warrant the resources necessary for a port. Burnout might do well, but the Remaster didn't exactly light the world on fire on the PS4 and Xbox One. It's a solid remaster, but I doubt it massively helped EA's bottom line. It only topped sales charts for a short time, and that's because the biggest competition it had was Kirby Star Allies.

It's not always about companies not wanting our money. It's about whether or not they think they can get enough of our money to justify spending theirs.

@R4z0rGr1nd3r Not disagreeing with your overall points, but calling people idiots and morons isn't the best way to get your point across.

Yep, getting back on Pokemon GO. I really need to find my GO Plus...

I think it's a genius idea. I love the fact that my 5 year old will be able to help me by throwing Pokeballs (the only thing in PGO she enjoys doing anyways) and running around the game world with me. It will give TPC another flux of income to further the production of Gen 8. And it will likely have a similar effect to PGO's release in 2016 (although not to the same scale, considering everyone has a smartphone these days, but not necessarily a Switch).

Another benefit is I'm not currently undergoing the "new Pokemon game" withdrawal effects I usually feel when TPC gives us a drip feed of information about a new generation. I saw the trailer, I'm sold on it, but I'm perfectly okay waiting until November. Gives me plenty of time to try to get back into GO again.

Can't get enough political hatred and vitriol from your Facebook feed? Come to Nintendo Life, where even the simplest and most mundane article can start a political flame war! Now you can get your opinion-fueled salt at the equivalent pace of an IV piercing straight into your veins!

@HappyMaskedGuy That's a decision you choose to make when you mod your car, same goes for your game system. Doesn't change the fact that modding cars isn't some awful, shady practice.

All pirates are hackers, but not all hackers are pirates. Yes, hacking can open the door for piracy, but it doesn't mean all hackers are pirates.

Also, holy crap man, sure let's drop millions of dollars for the rights to a game. Hyperbole much? Also, tracking down a used copy of a rare game doesn't support the developer in any way whatsoever. The sale that produced them money has already been made, you're just pumping money into the aftermarket. I don't condone piracy of actively sold games, but you went into another area here, and it's not a good one for your argument. If I want to play a really old game that would cost me hundreds of dollars to play on original hardware, without the benefits of potential translation patches, and I want to play that game on my PSP Go (or Switch in a few years when I feel that losing my repair support from Nintendo doesn't outweigh having a beautiful 6" tablet with physical controls to emulate on), then darn it I'm going to play it. No one suffered from me doing this, the game has been off the market for years. I just wish people weren't so staunchly against all forms of hacking ever. It's not all bad, even if there are some bad seeds out there sharing game files of products you can still buy new at your local game shop.

Umm, unless I was mistaken, only the PC version will be receiving multiplayer next month, and it's still going to be in beta. I'd estimate we're looking at closer to the 1-year anniversary of the Switch release before we see it here.

My brother picked this up and had me play a round of the board game mode with him. It was... okay. Not terrible, had some fun here and there and did make a huge comeback to win it with a nice string of minigame wins and a lucky card draw. But the whole time, I was like... surely this can't be it for $40. And it pretty much was it. The wordplay aspect wasn't even done very cleverly for most games, and the speed games are just arm-tiring wagglefests. I would play him again if he asked, but there's no way I'm spending $40 on this game when I could get Celeste, Night in the Woods, Crypt of the Necrodancer, and other much better games for half the price.

Got it in the Humble Monthly, looking forward to it, but I don't think I'll be picking up the Switch version until it goes on sale and I find it worth replaying.

@wratih9 I'm a Bengals fan and this was still my first thought.

@hippoeater Please do exactly what he did anywhere as fast as he did, THEN tell me that's not impressive.

@tanookisuit I will agree that the wording in the article is vague and leads the reader to believe that they are witnessing someone play the game to completion, rather than simply making the credits roll. That said, I think the vitriol for this runner is a bit uncalled for when it's more NL's fault for using vague language.

@Biff_ARMStrong That's twice now you've posted a comment here wishing literal death on someone(s). What is wrong with you?

By far the most toxic comment section I've ever read on this site. And that's saying something.

A few people pointed out that this is in fact a "category" of speedrunning. To those people, I thank you. Just because this run involves intentionally breaking the exploitable parts of the game doesn't mean it's not a way to reach the credits. And it in fact is a process that requires extremely precise inputs from the player in as short a time as possible. Therefore, this method can be speedran.

Seriously, it's not like this guy is now ahead of anyone who runs this game, start to finish, the old fashioned way. This run is categorized into its own corner of the interwebs. This just means he's the fastest one to do it this way.

Even if this isn't the way you like to run games or see them ran, that still doesn't discount the achievements and performances by glitch% runners.

@NewAdvent Ugh, too true... Probably be at least a month or two before I can squeeze enough into the budget to pick this game up. MH World today and DQ Builders in February are already slapping my wallet silly.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE If you have even a PC/laptop with a half-decent integrated GPU, there's no reason not to pick this up on there.

Came in the Humble Monthly bundle today, looking forward to giving it a go!

@Angelic_Lapras_King Yep, I picked up FIFA 17 on Xbox One for like $25 last Black Friday at Walmart. Got the Switch version for now and will probably pick up either PS4 or Xbox One in November. Really depends on if anyone wants to play with me on those, because no one I know personally wants to play me on their Switch.

@GrailUK I'm gonna buy it for Switch and I already have 260+ hours on PC, another 100 or so on Xbox 360, and 20ish on PS3. No other game I've played in history is better for just losing myself in and relaxing. I just really enjoy being a part of the world of Skyrim, and now I'm literally going to be able to take that world with me anywhere I go. I cannot wait. Seriously, every day I wake up and don't see a release date is another day I sigh and hope for the next. This is the most news I've seen on it since E3, so it's something. But I want that date. Soon.

@getyourak It's a meme to call 30 FPS cinematic. Pretty sure an Ubisoft dev or something said that 30 FPS was a design choice because it was "more cinematic", when in truth it felt like they just didn't feel like optimizing their game to 60 FPS.

@MailOrderNinja They mostly occurred in the opening sequence for me. But there's some drops here and there in normal play. I played the Switch version that my brother picked up, then the next day I played my own Steam copy and the difference was night and day. Not only did the game look smoother, but it felt more responsive as well. The Switch version is perfectly playable, but the people who are okay with an inferior product on a platform that should easily be able to handle a fairly simple game need to stop bashing those of us who are displeased with the Switch's version. (Not saying you were one of the people doing the bashing.)

@Equinox On the contrary, for me Monster Hunter is a series that is quite easy to play with no knowledge of the language if you already know how to play going into it. Obviously a localization would be ideal, but it's pretty easy to figure out what to do on each hunt. Plus, Kiranico is a very useful resource for figuring out item names, quest objectives, and whatnot. This is the first game I'll ever be importing in which I don't know the language... yet, I'm not worried at all.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE "ye got screwed"

While I'm a bit upset that EU got such a steep discount compared to us, it was absolutely worth $60. I (and my wife) poured hundreds of hours into that game. I'm more than ready to do it all over again in a few weeks.

People tell themselves it's going to be something then get ticked off when it's not what they thought it would be.

Gamers have really become entitled turds in the Information Age.

I want a main series game on Switch, but anyone that thought it was 100% going to happen this soon after the system's release is delusional.
