Yep, 100% back this. If your putting this out in early December you’re missing 1/12 of your play time (whatever service your following). I for one get a ton of playtime in over holiday time so well played, Nintendo.
It’s not like poor office workers are working on this over the holiday season; things all automated data pulled and slotted into a preformatted way for you.
Tariffs aside… 😉 I’m sure this will be reasonable for a limited run hardback book. I’m estimating £18-£20 in the UK. That’s alright in my book (pun intended).
See, I’m all for this. It would be perfect those who want to play the VB without the original hardware issues and prohibitive cost etc.
What I’m saddened about is that you can’t play in TV mode in 2D. I’m sure this wouldn’t be a stretch to implement. Hell, they show it in their own Direct video. Even a toggle on/off for 2D/3D would be preferred.
@Axecon it ain’t great news - but the floodgates will open now. Xbox and PS will follow suit and it will be the new normal going forward. I mean, “deluxe” edition games on other platforms are already like £89.99; so it’s not much of a stretch.
@ChakraStomps In what way is this cancelling? The man is a sex pest degenerate, and has been detrimental to the industry. Please enlighten me on why he should be reported on?
Yea, that’s not real. The thumbs sticks and buttons are in the wing places. If you disconnect those Journ, you’ll be using your right thumb on the stick and left on the buttons. Or flip it over and have to press the shoulder buttons with your pinkies…
I bought a new Switch Lite to commute with, and this is the only game I’ve played on it so far. Not sure if it’s because it’s new hardware, but honestly, barely noticed a thing.
Not tried it on my OG Switch in docked mode yet though.
@RobbWes I guess I’d be happy enough with a Japanese version. Really not into ‘unauthorised’ emulators. Much prefer original hardware. Play as intended
They’re both a bit crap to be honest. US/EUR is so busy and quite hard to see the name of the game at a glance, with a reduced TMNT logo. Odd choice.
Then the Japanese version is better, easier to see etc but the turtles themselves are generic key art used for years. Also lacking in the whole time theme.

“unlockable paths and modes keep things fresh” yet it’s “linear”… which is it?

Happy Birthday, Nintendo Life! Here’s too as many as Nintendo have had.

As it is, I won’t be trying this one, sadly.
Re: Nintendo Identifies Xenoblade Chronicles X Voice Sync Bug On Switch 2
Hopefully this leads to an all in one Switch 2 edition patch, but I doubt it. One can dream.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
The Japanese has more going on and makes better use of the space. Should’ve had its one category.
Either way NA would come in last.
Re: Hello Kitty Island Adventure Scores First Major Content Update, Here's What's Included
@JimNorman This is a welcome addition. Such a chill little game.
Also; 30 million copies sold in 30 days…? 😉
Re: amiibo Could Be Getting A Price Hike, According To GameStop Listings (US)
@OstianOwl Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
No, there's a hefty heckin’' fee
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?
Re: amiibo Could Be Getting A Price Hike, According To GameStop Listings (US)
America 🇺🇸! Land of the Free 🤣

Sad times for my wallet.
Re: Forget Microsoft, Another Company Apparently Wanted To Buy Nintendo Back In The Day
@dskatter That is not what I said or inferred. Please read again.
Re: Forget Microsoft, Another Company Apparently Wanted To Buy Nintendo Back In The Day
@outsider83 Perfectly calm, thanks. You do seem rather triggered by all this? Are you okay? Do you need to chat?
Re: Forget Microsoft, Another Company Apparently Wanted To Buy Nintendo Back In The Day
@Carck Actually it’s not; propaganda is promoting information or disinformation from a certain standpoint; not the lack of providing information.
Re: Forget Microsoft, Another Company Apparently Wanted To Buy Nintendo Back In The Day
@dskatter Yes.
And you’re not stating facts, but opinions, as am I.
Re: Forget Microsoft, Another Company Apparently Wanted To Buy Nintendo Back In The Day
@Carck Actually it is; we can all choose whether to report information as news or not.

Re: Forget Microsoft, Another Company Apparently Wanted To Buy Nintendo Back In The Day
Can we stop giving this cretin any news time at all please?
Re: Buckle Up, Animal Crossing Is Heading To 'Sea Life UK' In February
@SwitchplayerJohn It’s not really viable (time/value/cost) to drive a minimum of 4 hours just for a SeaLife centre.
Disappointing.
Re: Editorial: Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays From All Of Us At Nintendo Life
Merry Christmas to all of you 🎄
Re: Sega Is "Evaluating" Its Own Netflix-Style Subscription Service
Please don’t. Even with fill back catalogue, it’s not enough to justify a subscription.
Re: Dbrand Seems To Have Shared Images Of Switch 2 Inside Its New Case
@MrCarlos46 I thought that, but then the +/- buttons on the wrong side.
Re: Dbrand Seems To Have Shared Images Of Switch 2 Inside Its New Case
Yea, that’s not real.
The thumbs sticks and buttons are in the wing places. If you disconnect those Journ, you’ll be using your right thumb on the stick and left on the buttons. Or flip it over and have to press the shoulder buttons with your pinkies…
Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?
I bought a new Switch Lite to commute with, and this is the only game I’ve played on it so far. Not sure if it’s because it’s new hardware, but honestly, barely noticed a thing.
Not tried it on my OG Switch in docked mode yet though.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Gargoyle's Quest II: The Demon Darkness
Neither? Japan has the better protagonist pic, but is too overcrowded, and Europe’s is lacking in anything other than Firebrand. 🤷🏻♂️
Re: Retailer GAME Is Reportedly Ending In-Store Pre-Orders
Next week on the series finale of GAME: “We’re closing all stores.”
Good riddance. Absolute scalpers and profiteers the lot of them. Always charging RRP or more. Never acted competitively.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Turok 2: Seeds Of Evil
Japan. VIOLENCE KILLER!! Haha.
Who approved that title?! Give them a pay rise.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mario Paint (SNES)
EUR all the way. Total Bob Ross vibes.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time
@JohnnyMind Hmm… dwfinite deviant behaviour
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time
Most importantly, why is Luigi sniffing his finger in the Japanese/South Korean artwork?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Jack Bros. (Virtual Boy)
For a game rated K-A, that US cover sure is terrifying and not representative of the product
Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection Launches Later This Month On Switch
@Heartless666 🙋🏻♂️ As I played these back in the day, I do love a bit of nostalgia
Re: Takaya Imamura Expresses His Love For F-Zero 99, Awaits 'Revival Of The IP'

Re: Takaya Imamura Expresses His Love For F-Zero 99, Awaits 'Revival Of The IP'
Been playing it all day. Absolutely love it; takes me bs k yo the SNES days, but with a well thought out and executed twist. Brilliant stuff!
Hopefully this will at least lead to F-Zero Clinzx being translated and out on NSO GBA…
Re: Poll: Goats Or Lizards? What Do You Think Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Zonai Look Like?
They’re totes goats 🐐
Re: We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie Frame Rate & Resolution Detailed
1090p?! Practically 4k
Re: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Physical Release Has Reversible Cover Art
@Kaiffe123 Had them back on the day for GBA; great games and these look like great updates.
Re: GameStop Fires Employee For Leaking Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch
This is Nintendo though; fiercely secretive.
Plus, it’ll be cheaper to sack someone who undertook misconduct than lose potentially thousands if not millions in revenue.
Re: GameStop Fires Employee For Leaking Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch
@Vivianeat no. That would be child labour.
Re: GameStop Fires Employee For Leaking Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch
@Xiovanni They would likely impose sanctions on them; eg no more exclusives, less stock supplied etc.
They can and done it before typically to independent retailers who break street dates for releases.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 16.0.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
TL;DR … stability.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Burger Time Deluxe
Japan for those perfect teeth that will clearly shatter on impact of that fake burger.
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Looking To Hire Someone With NFT Knowledge
All I can say is…. Ew.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Europe. It’s just satisfyingly fantasy-styled. Japanese looks more like an ad.
…First.
Re: Princess Peach And Donkey Kong Debut In New Super Mario Bros Movie Trailer
Honestly looks great! Can’t wait to see it myself, let alone my boy.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Composer Gives Fans Sneak Peek At 'Mario Suite Part 3'
@Anti-Matter Nothing there to suggest the tempo, and that’s not a waltz.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time
They’re both a bit crap to be honest. US/EUR is so busy and quite hard to see the name of the game at a glance, with a reduced TMNT logo. Odd choice.
Then the Japanese version is better, easier to see etc but the turtles themselves are generic key art used for years. Also lacking in the whole time theme.
Both not great art for a great game.
Re: Random: Mario's Nips Return For Summer 2022
@Kyloctopus Don’t read them then.
Re: Mega Drive Mini 2 Games List - Every Genesis And SEGA CD Game Announced
Final Fight CD! The best version; superior to the arcade AND has the best (see also; worst) voiceover in the intro.
“Jessica?”
“My sweetheart since childhood”.
Re: Respawn Working On Single-Player FPS Set In Apex Legends Universe
Titanfall was great; the sequel was one of the best games of the last generation; if not all time. Amazing campaign and engaging MP.
Apex, however, it’s just a cartoony cash grab pale imitation. Tried so many times but it’s just poor.
