Seems like the kind of thing I would've loved 20 years ago.

"Stealing is OK if it's from a big company!" <--- half this thread.

When I was a kid (in the US) I remember traveling to the "Big city" (Green Bay) mall and being so excited to shop in Electronics Boutique. Computer games! When I was in college, I worked at an "EB Games". After college, I spent a year as store manager of an EB Games right when Gamestop bought the company.

We were all really unhappy with that. I know we were biased, but we all thought EB was the better store - better prices on used games, especially. I left before the stores started changing names, that was a slow process.

I cannot see myself ever buying an SRPG where you have to pay for content.

Does this basically make The World Ends With You impossible to 100% now? Some of the pins only evolve in certain ways properly with street pass hits, right?

"Unlike Disney's live-action movies, though, the Zelda remakes are fantastic" - There's a significant difference between the tweaking of graphics and occasional substantive difference in the Zelda games and the complete from-the-ground-up changes for the Disney movies. I think they need 2 different terms, maybe remaster and remake.

@ShaneReactions 5 seconds of Googling - average U.S. salary of a doctor in the U.S. is somewhere around $209,000/year.

For anybody complaining about charity management earning a high salary, do you feel the same way about doctors? Why wouldn't the same argument apply for doctors working at a non-profit hospital or clinic?

@WhiteUmbrella Question - if the business is barely making anything off the worker anyway, how is it exploiting the worker? Surely if the worker had skills that were actually valuable to an employer, they would have an easy time finding a job somewhere else, no?

Are you advocating that they're better off not working at all?

Vesemir in the bathtub, haha.

Wow, how dare people earn a living while running charities! It's not like running a business takes skill, experience or knowledge... oh wait. It's not like a charity wants to attract talent... oh wait.

On the paying people less than minimum wage question... have you even considered that some people are completely unemployable because they don't have the skills to create enough value for an employer to even make them worth that much? This law doesn't PREVENT any employee from making more money - if these disabled workers could find better-paying work, they would. This law helps them find work at all where otherwise they couldn't earn anything.

Oh that is 100% Johnny Cee's, how cool! I don't live in Wausau now but I grew up there and I get back a few times a year and usually go to FNM. Those are the tables they use, they have boxes of loose comics over on the right and posters of the MTG dual lands up on the right by the windows.

Anybody know if there's a way to tag or directly contact Nintendo Life contributors?

@LiamDoolan, I swear I recognize that background, is that Johnny Cee's games in Wausau, WI?

A rerelease that only has 5 boards seems stupid. Why would I want this?

Liar Princess was great, my daughter and I played through it together, I hope this is as good!

I can see that. TWEWY is my favorite game of all time, I've beaten it a few times and tried to 100% it twice but both times when I got into the 99%+ range I didn't quite make it (the second time my son unintentionally deleted my game...) I had a blast playing the demo this weekend. Seems to translate well so far, although my old brain is slowing down I can't process everything that's happening in fights.

After how bad the remake was, I'm definitely demoing this first.

Never played it the first time (no wii-motion plus controllers), so excited for this. Why am I not loving the graphics tho? I'm a huge fan of Twilight Princess, including the overall visuals, but I look at this and go bleh.

$60, what? I love the first two AW games (more than the DS ones) but no thanks.

Backing? No. Buying? Maybe.

2.5D was definitely the thing. Nights into Dreams, Klonoa.

As much as this is the first amiibo I might actually be interested in getting, I'm still not going to buy it because I don't want to encourage this behavior.

But those are all GOOD games. That's not how this works.

@RobHughes Why? You can play it just fine right now, and as huge of a fan of PSO games I have been, this is a pretty bad game. It's just a barfy kludge of FTP microtransactions and 8 million confusing mechanics.

Seems pricey. Game was just fine, nothing fantastic. Basically a diablo clone w/D&D skin. Lots of companies were doing that around that time.

That's way too late, the fad will be over.

Are you sure they didn't trademark "Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid" for a crossover?

Japan awful. Europe gets the nod over NA because the yellow is angry and the blue is chill.

This looks so just all over the place. Seems implausible that trying to do this many things in one game is going to be good.

Yep, murdering people, torturing people, totally fine to have in a video game. But suggest somebody treat a woman badly...

Neither is great, they're both way too busy. Slight nod to the NA version because the Japanese one is so generic it could be for any Kirby game.

Ouf, is there an option for Japanese VOs? If not, I might be playing with sound down, which is unfortunate. Not a fan of these voices, everything seems like they're going for maximum stereotype.

@HeadPirate Thanks for talking about that! TWEWY is in my top 5 games of all time and I didn't even know that.

Oh man, my favorite is last

@Caryslan FFVI is #3 on the list...

This is interesting. Grew up with 1, 4, and 6. Both 7 and 10 I put off a long time because I didn't think either was interesting. Eventually played 7 and thought it was an awful game. That made me reeeeeally delay 10, but eventually I got to it and I actually enjoyed it. Still didn't like only having 3 characters at a time, but I thought it was very well done.

@timp29 That was my first question too. I'm not sure that dollar sales is all that useful anyway, give me actual units.

"It sold relatively well, but only managed about half the sales of its predecessor". Isn't that literally the opposite of relatively? You're comparing it to something else saying it did well, but compared to the other thing it did much worse.

Anyway, this is a fascinating game, I agree. I strongly disliked OoT so for the longest time I didn't play MM because of that. I eventually picked it up on... WiiWare, I think. I found it really interestingly, but frustrating. I would probably give it a try again if it gets a remake or if I suddenly find myself with a lot of time on my hands. Say in 30 years when I retire! =D

Wish this was on 3DS, I want to play this in bed and I get cramps trying to hold the Switch there.

Reminds me a lot of 999, Zero Escape, and VLR.

@Jeaz "They are predatory and to 100% exist for the sellers benefit." The millions of people who spend money on these things would disagree with you.

Look, this is a Top 5 games of all time game for me. But this looks like a really low-rent application, like they just grabbed screen caps from the game and added some really basic (and ugly) animations to it. I'm worried.

@Baker1000 Bravely Default was bad and longwinded.

The world needs more Octopath and less Bravely Default

I love these kind of games (Fortune Street, Dokapon Kingdom, Culdcept). Is any of this IP available in the west?

@mauhlin12 that question explains what's going on in a nutshell. It's too much work for copyright holders to go after individual streamers and tell them to stop, so they threaten (excuse me, "negotiate with") the whole platform in order to get them to do something that address the problem on a higher level.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I apparently have reading problems, I thought you wrote "IF" it's free, not "AS" it's free. My bad!

@Kidfunkadelic83 It's free.

This seems awesome! Especially barbarians becoming city states over time. Going to dive back in.
