@Stu13 It becomes more of an issue when you change games as the standard on Switch is to confirm with A. You get used to it pretty quick in Dark Souls, but then you start trying to push B for games that require A. And vice versa, of course.
This whole Platinum 4 campaign has been so stupid and incredibly underwhelming. And the April Fool's joke was even more stupid. I'm honestly tired of hearing about any of it.
Well, this certainly sucks. I don't have the time anymore to play this constantly, so now if I miss a date, I'll likely never see certain items and events. Lame move, Nintendo.
@OorWullie That paragraph was absolutely added to the article after I made my first comment. It was not there when this article posted. I read and reread it multiple times before now.
Thanks, but I definitely read the entire article. You seem to be entirely missing the point of what I said, and no italicized portion of the article contains what you quoted at all. Again, not sure where this info came from, but it's certainly not in the article.
"The Switch version of the game is now also in line with other platforms, meaning future updates for all systems will be easier to manage"
Where did this information come from? I'm pretty sure it hasn't been stated by the developer, and it's certainly not covered by developer comments in this article. He even states that there is more work to do on Switch, so the above statement doesn't make much sense.
They all are lacking. I picked Japan because of the extra imagery, but it's a little bland color wise. If they had colored Link, Epona, and the fire and kept the black background, that would have been a shoe in win. I think Europe looks the worst with the monochrome gold logo and strange border. Having said all that, the gold box is nice as it is in line with previous NA Zelda releases.
I'm certainly happy the logo has stayed the same. Trying to "freshen it up" is unnecessary. You don't need to fix what's not broken, and it's perfect how it is.
I've been catching up on some backlog. Turok 2 has probably been my main, and I'm excited to finally finish it. Back on the N64 I tried playing through it 3 times, and my save file would corrupt every time I got to the 5th level. I was so mad the third time it happened I vowed to never play the game again. I'm fairly certain it won't happened again (fingers crossed). I've also been playing a bit of Milkmaid of the Milky Way, Smash Ultimate, Fornite, Stardew Valley, and The Binding of Isaac.
Honestly not much I care about on this list. Hope there are a few surprises in store, otherwise it'll be a pretty boring gaming year for me. But I guess that would be fine so I can work on my backlog.
Edit: Maybe I exaggerated a bit. Xenoblade and Silksong are definites for me, as is the SSBU Fighter Pass 2. I'll very likely pick up Animal Crossing, as well. And I'm interested in Trials of Mana, Bravely Default II, and Doom Eternal.
Unless I missed it in the later comments, I'd really love to see Dark Souls 2 and 3 ported to Switch. I'm honestly surprised they haven't already been ported.

Re: Random: Finally, You Can Play Dark Souls On Switch The Way Nature Intended
Dark Souls is the first game I thought of with the recent button mapping update. Praise the Sun!!!
However, I don't understand why there was never a game specific update to remedy this issue.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 10.0.0 Is Now Live
@Rognis This would be a great option, and I'd think relatively easy to implement, too.
Re: The Voice Behind Star Fox 64's Most Famous Line Has Died From Coronavirus
Do a barrel roll up there for all of us, Rick.
Re: Port Specialist Virtuos Ready To Help Bring Next-Gen PlayStation And Xbox Titles To Nintendo Switch
How about bring over Dark Souls 2 and 3 first?
Re: PlatinumGames Has A Special 'Bonus Stage' Announcement To Make, What Could It Be?
This whole Platinum 4 campaign has been so stupid and incredibly underwhelming. And the April Fool's joke was even more stupid. I'm honestly tired of hearing about any of it.
Re: FDG's DuckTales Joke Was Actually A Real Pitch To Disney, But It Never Got The License
This looks awesome. I'd love to play it, so I hope it gets the go ahead.

April Fool's, y'all
Re: Nintendo To Remaster 'Most Of Super Mario’s 35-Year Catalogue' For Switch in 2020, New Report Says
April Fool's? And yes, NintendoLife. That's all I wanted to say.
Re: The Definitive Edition Of Xenoblade Chronicles Won't Include Any Extras From The 3DS Port
Well, that's just weird.

Super Mario Galaxy!!!
Re: Hands On: Getting Our Feet Wet With Trials of Mana
@mesome713 Maybe, but who cares? This game isn't exactly realistic, so why should the outfits be?
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct Mini?
It was pretty good. I'm excited about many of the games. I look forward to a full on Direct with lots of first party goodness, though.
Re: PETA Takes A Dig At Animal Crossing: New Horizons With 'Vegan Guide' To The Game
The only PETA I like is this one:
People Eating Tasty Animals
Re: PETA Takes A Dig At Animal Crossing: New Horizons With 'Vegan Guide' To The Game
This is so annoying and stupid. PETA and extreme vegans are cancer.

Re: Random: Brie Larson Says She's More Than Happy To Be In An Animal Crossing Movie
I would be happy if Brie Larson was in nothing.
Re: You Can't Access Seasonal Events In Animal Crossing: New Horizons By Time Travelling
Well, this certainly sucks. I don't have the time anymore to play this constantly, so now if I miss a date, I'll likely never see certain items and events. Lame move, Nintendo.
Re: 87-Year-Old Animal Crossing Superfan Has Her Own Character In New Horizons
Honestly, without confirmation from Nintendo, I think this is just coincidence.
Re: Video: The Animal Crossing Switch Is One Of The Most Beautiful Things Humankind Has Ever Created
That actually does look fantastic.
Re: Random: Someone's Selling Bars Of Soap That Resemble Super Smash Bros. Characters
I am so confused.
Re: Darius Cozmic Collection 2 Confirmed, Existing Collection Getting New Games Today
@Damo Sweet! Thanks for the clarification.
Re: Feature: Best Castlevania Games On Nintendo Consoles
Aria of Sorrow is awesome. Great choice.
Having said that, I disagree with much of the order of this list.
Re: Darius Cozmic Collection 2 Confirmed, Existing Collection Getting New Games Today
I'm kind of confused about this. I pre-ordered the the North American Cosmic Collection. Am I getting extra games?

@Anri02
Hey, thanks for the information. They should have stated this in the article as it's 100% relevant to their statement.

I'll stick with my Waterfield.
Re: PlatinumGames Admits Wonderful 101 Kickstarter Had Nothing To Do With Raising Funds
"Oh, and I forgot to mention. A very large portion of the Kickstarter funds will go to the Chinese Government. Cool, huh?"
Re: Analogue Is Retiring Its Amazing Nt Mini After One Final Production Run
Dang. It's expensive, but I really want one. I have the Super NT, and it's awesome.
Re: The Wonderful 101: Remastered Secures May Release On Nintendo Switch
Yeah. It's pretty obvious the Kickstarter wasn't actually for this game. It was probably for China. 🤔
Re: Hideki Kamiya Says The Development Of Bayonetta 3 Is "Progressing Smoothly"
@Darkyoshi98 I was going to post exactly the same thing. I think some people are quite confused as to what greedy actually means.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Will Support Save File Transfers "Later This Year"
That's good, at least. I hope they revise the save data backup to more than once in a lifetime, too.
Re: Animal Crossing Direct Announced for 20th February
@Ketsumeishi It sure is!
Re: Animal Crossing Direct Announced for 20th February
Nintendo, I love you, but this is getting ridiculous. When is the next FULL Direct?!
Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Gets Rated In Australia
Blech. I did not enjoy the original at all.
Re: Random: The Guy Behind 'Thong Song' Has Backed The Wonderful 101 Kickstarter
@rushiosan Quute honestly, I'm sure it depends on who you are (and what influence you might have), and how much money you backed the Kickstarter with.
Re: Review: The Wonderful 101 - A Thrilling Assault On The Senses
The score doesn't reflect the review.

Re: Reggie Encouraged Nintendo To Embrace "What The Brand Stood For" By Sticking With Its Iconic Logo
I'm certainly happy the logo has stayed the same. Trying to "freshen it up" is unnecessary. You don't need to fix what's not broken, and it's perfect how it is.

Re: Poll: What Features Would You Want In A Switch 'Pro'?
Can't believe better battery life wasn't an option.
Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Dark Souls
Exactly this. Dark Souls is amazing and one of my top 3 games of all time. I'm really hoping 2 and 3 get ported to Switch.
Re: Rumour: The Pokémon Direct Will Share "New Details" About Sword And Shield
I just don't understand why.

This is wonderful.
Re: Bravely Default 2 Is Coming Exclusively To Nintendo Switch Next Year
This is great news! Still, I was hoping for more news than just this.
