What a nonsense excuse, aren't they hurting their brand more by lying so blatantly instead of simply saying it was never a part of the development plan? Jeez.
Maybe all the fan outrage will make them consider patching it in later.
Honestly, I find it painful to pay 60 bucks for most current games. The standardization of game price is pretty problematic. I gladly paid 60 bucks for BotW, but no way in hell am I paying the same amount for Link's Awakening, or Kirby Star Allies.
@Ogbert The problem was that they teased it as a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT a week in advance. People were excited and understandably disappointed when all they got was a phone moba
Always thought this game was objectively terrible. The soundtrack is amazing, but the game is designed around swallowing coins. Maybe I just need to git gud but man, that final stage is impossible without save state abuse.
Hey, does anyone know where I can get the standard retail edition? I've looked on Amazon to no avail, and the link in the post gives me an empty page (probably because I'm based in the Netherlands)
Ys 8 is a top 5 game in the Switch library, was worried the ninth entry wouldn't make it to the Switch. This is also a great opportunity to port the other Ys games to Switch as well!
I trust Nintendo is refunding players who've ordered the wrong DLC. Aside from being slightly unintuitive, selecting the correct DLC should be a no-brainer.

Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 'Clone' Genshin Impact Gets New Beta Footage Trailer
Looks great, ridiculous to deprive yourself from a potentially great game on principle alone.
I love BotW and I will get this game as well.
Re: Suikoden Creators Crowdfunding New JRPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
Come to Switch
Come to the West
Come in physical form
Remaster Suikoden 1+2 for Switch while you're at it.
I will buy it all
Re: Ask Iwata Gets A Western Release In Spring 2021
Hell yes, I've been waiting for this. Hope local distributors pick it up.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Average Age And Salary Of Its Employees (As Of March 2020)
Well that's only 4 times more than I make.
Re: Activision Says It's Evaluating Additional Platforms For Crash Bandicoot 4
@HappyMaskedGuy Do enlighten us with the platformers we should play instead.
Re: Feature: Upcoming Nintendo Switch RPGs To Look Out For In 2020
Ys Origins for me.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Joins Rogue Games As A Strategic Advisor
I thought the guy as retiring to spend time with his family
Re: The Remaster Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Won't Support Local Multiplayer
Re: Dark Open-World RPG Vampire’s Fall: Origins Launches On Switch This Autumn
Will keep an eye out for reviews. And if the price is right.
Re: One Line Coloring Is A Connect-The-Dots Style Puzzler Coming To Switch
Looks nice for my kid. Wonder how the control scheme works?
Re: Game Director Swery Will Rewrite At Least One Scene In Deadly Premonition 2
Cancel culture strikes again.
Imagine being so mentally unstable that you are upset by a video game.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 10.1.0 Is Now Live
Might hack my switch just for folder capability.

Re: WayForward Is Releasing Two Classic Shantae Games On The Nintendo Switch
Good news, so now the entire series will be available on Switch? Perhaps it's time I give these games a go.
Re: Retro-Style RPG CrossCode Gets Treated To Some Lovely Physical Editions On Switch
@DockEllisD Thanks mate!

Re: Demon-Slaying RPG Ys Origin Announced For Nintendo Switch, Physical Editions Confirmed
Y(e)s! I hope they bring all the modern Ys games to Switch! This is a series I must have physically. Ys 8 is my 2nd favorite Switch game, behind BotW!
I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it)
Re: Waifu Uncovered Mixes Bullet-Hell With Boobies, And Even Comes With A "One Finger" Mode
So uh, anything anyone has ever said about Nintendo wanting to protect their image as a family friendly brand has been complete bollocks, then?
I'm sure this is another case of there being absolutely NO screening before stuff can enter the eShop.
Re: Neko Ghost, Jump! Is A Cutesy Puzzle-Platformer Inspired By Super Paper Mario
Major fan of SPM, but this just doesn't look great...
Re: Switch Game Final Sword Removed From Japanese eShop For Using Legend Of Zelda Music
Great that it was removed, but Nintendo should really be screening games beforehand.
Re: New eShop Release Final Sword Includes Zelda's Lullaby As Background Music
Really wish they'd curate eShop entries.
Re: Review: Outbuddies DX - Offers Lots To Love, But The Failings Of This Metroidvania Bring It Down
I was waiting for NL's review on this one, cheers!
Sad to hear it disappoints, sounds like something to pick up on a sale one day.
Re: The World Ends With You: Final Remix Is On Sale For Half Price Until 19th July
Yeah I don't think 25 quid is worth it for a DS game.
Re: Review: Yes, Your Grace - A Curious Mix Of Kingdom Management And Medieval Adventure
"This c*ck has been enchanted"
I'm sorry, what???
Re: Ori Dev Thinks It Would Be "Extremely Difficult" To Get The Sequel Running At 60fps On Switch
Just wait for Switch Tuu
Re: TiMi Studios Describes Pokémon Unite As An 'Unprecedented Opportunity And Challenge'
I loathe MOBAs, but they're huge these days so now the Pokemon company can cash in big and make another sub-par mainline title.
I'm so done with this goddamn franchise.
Re: NIS America Is Bringing Ys IX: Monstrum Nox To The West In 2021
Yeeeeeeeeeesssssss
Ys 8 is a top 5 game in the Switch library, was worried the ninth entry wouldn't make it to the Switch. This is also a great opportunity to port the other Ys games to Switch as well!
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Fans Speculate That Next Week's 'Big' Announcement Is Let's Go Johto
HeartGold on Switch pls
Re: Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memory Announced For Switch, Launches This Year
Kingdom hearts for switch WHOOOOO
>Rhythm game

Re: People Keep Buying The Wrong Pokémon Sword And Shield DLC
I trust Nintendo is refunding players who've ordered the wrong DLC. Aside from being slightly unintuitive, selecting the correct DLC should be a no-brainer.
Re: Mini Review: Poopdie - Chapter One - Like Poop, Butts And PewDiePie? Then You're In Luck!
I'm still incredibly surprised someone as successful as Pewdiepie would associate with such a terrible game
Re: Review: Adam's Venture: Origins - Uncharted For Switch? You've Got To Be Kidding
@ArtiomNLS So you're saying Nintendo Life doesn't review games that people actually care about?
Either you misphrased your sentence or you're being ridiculous.
Re: Ubisoft's Gods & Monsters Really Does Look Like Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
It kind of looks like a B-tier game. The combat didn't look like it had any depth to it, nor any impact when attacking or being attacked.
Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Release A Digital-Only Switch?
Nothing wrong with having the option, so long as the physical option is not depreciated.
Re: Slime-San Creator Announces Demon Turf - A New 3D Platformer Coming To Switch
Oh no, this is one of the worst looking games I've seen.
Re: Anime Series Re:ZERO − Starting Life In Another World Comes To Switch As A Tactical Adventure Game
Oh jeez, those funko pop-like character models are very unpleasant. Wonder how well the material would lend itself to a tactical RPG.
Re: Konami Just Surprise-Launched A Brand New Action Platformer On Switch
Isn't Konami just the publisher here?
Doesn't look particularly good.
Re: Donkey Kong-Inspired Platforming Awaits In Castle Kong, Coming To Switch Next Month
Not the Donkey Kong I'd want games to be inspired by, sadly.
Re: Deals: Get A Half Price Goodie With Your Purchase Of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass
I figure I'll give my copy of Sword a proper whirl once all the DLC is out. As it stands, the game was too much of "hey, you're 5 years old, right?"
Re: Local Co-Op Is Seemingly Returning To The Remaster Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Cautiously optimistic about this one then
Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Locks In A Western Release Date
Still no word on local multiplayer. Sad.
Re: Switch Owners Can Claim Three Free Games If They Already Own Select Titles
None of those games seem appealing, but I might grab Mana Spark nonetheless.
Re: Returning Players Can Collect Some Bonus Gold In Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
Glad it's optional, I don't want it.
Re: PewDiePie's Dungeon Crawler Poopdie Plops Onto Switch Next Month
Oof, would not want to have this game associated with my name, especially not if I was a successful online personality.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Suffering From Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fatigue?
I've got Animal Crossing fatigue and I don't have the game.
Re: PETA Isn't Happy With Animal Crossing's Blathers, Or His Fish-Trapping Museum
I feel like ignoring anything PETA says or does would be the prudent strategy, negative attention is better than no attention after all.
PETA doesn't care about animals at all, it's all a political game and they're all the more awful human beings for it.
Re: Nintendo Says It Will Continue To Increase The Appeal Of The Switch Online Service
More than anything, NSO is just a missed opportunity and a sad replacement of the virtual console.
