Reading the comments here remind me of a Young Ones episode. It’s the repeating of the word boring so all I can hear is their voices saying “BORING”. Lol
My wife and I have great memories of playing Mario Kart on the GameCube tandem style. I drove while she fended off Wario and the rest of the opposition! Maybe that’s why we fell in love... ;p
Seems to be a growing hatred of youtubers these days, you don’t have to like a content creator to understand the situation they are in. Yes the name may have flagged up due to reports. Grandpoobear is pretty popular level creator and player and has approached the situation pretty responsibly, which is more than I can say for some of the people commenting on here are. I think everyone has the right to ask why something like this is done not just youtubers. However, because he is a youtubers he has an audience which news sites and media know will have an interest in this story. Come in guys stop complaining about stupid things this is a reportable story. I’m starting to feel like I’m on crazy pills when I look through comment sections these days.
I don’t think it is throwing a tantrum or vying for attention to ask for clarity and transparency when it comes to matters like this.
Not a big fan of this data mining business for me they are just ruining nice surprises. When they finally announce things it’s no longer a treat like it should be.
Ok so I’m surprised at some of the saltiness in the comment section... but I really shouldn’t be haha.
It totally looks playable but it does look quiet ugly when compared but the portability is a huge plus for me as I didn’t finish it on PS4 due to limited time. So I’m down for this version.
The size and whether or not they can fit it onto one cart I think is the bigger stretch for me though. I’m hesitant to believe this claim until launch. I can see this changing before release. I am, however, happy to be proven wrong.
With the 2DS being such a cheap entry point could we get a reduced price for the games as well please. There’s a few titles I want to pick up but waiting for better prices spending $50-60 AUS on them seems silly now.
@Morrow your either very young or very confused. Lol @Octane is actually talking complete sense whereas you really are complaining about a non issue here. But you seem zealot like in your opinion and I don’t believe anyone here has the power to change tour mind.
I’m glad Witcher III is coming... I’m only a little concerned about Saber as the load times in that NBA Playgrounds were awful for a game like that. Hopefully you don’t have to wait ages for the game to load.
A little of Downwell thanks to the sale. Having fun with it so far. And getting back into Nioh on the PS4. Might think about picking up Smash Bros in the ebGames sale but you have to trade in some games to get it half price. I hate giving up games lol.
I suppose it could be aimed at medical field for use with kids. This is not for the common market hence the price tag. I think by just glazing over the article. I could be wrong too
@Ludovsky seems most have read this article as Gamefreak don’t care about Pokémon. But I agree with you that if you ignore the fact that this franchise is MASSIVE and literally prints money you are ignoring how lucky they are as a company. They are in a unique position of playing it safe with Pokémon and experimental on other projects which both In-house trains staff keeps moral up and feeds back into their main IP.
Also your point on their games formulaic setup, well despite many in here complaining, if they were to change up too much some might be happy whereas the literally millions of others may switch off. See Pokémon Go as an example of if you build it they will come.
This latest Pokémon I reckon will stick to script and a minority will moan but with Detective Pikachu getting attention I think this one is gonna sell very very well.
@Wavey84 I was a gore hound as in I loved horror movies but mainly just loved the special effects they had within them, horror movies of that time pushed practical effects so I’m onto that big time and when I saw Goro I just laughed. I was watching MK on telly the other day and even the sets are just horrid some of them like scorpions lair is soo bad. But if you love it keep loving it. I’m just not drinking the coolaid lol
Yeah gotta agree with a few here. The west getting only 3 buttons just sucks. I don’t care if that’s what some associate with nostalgia. When I think back to my MD days it was the 6 button one of the reasons I preferred Sega to Ninty at the time. My 3 button controller was quickly left in the drawer.
I’d really like a proper statement from Sega as to why Japan gets one version and the west gets another. So far the nostalgia reasons is just fanboy justification.
@Wavey84 no sorry but Goro made me and my friends laugh. We were horror gore hounds and we had seen way better... WAY better. I get it your a fan but I was there at the time it was a guilty pleasure as a teen but it’s just plain bad film. Yet another Paul W S Anderson film that should have been aborted early. Resident Evil films bad but somehow a guilty pleasure maybe that’s just the Milla Jovovich factor...
@Wavey84 I was there at the time and it wasn’t impressive at all on the big screen if anything it highlighted how bad the effects were. The song however was epic!
What a load of PR nonsense who care if it’s the biggest production Adelaide has embarked on. Sydney and Gold Coast are the main hubs for production in Australia. James Wan is just producing and it’s a first time director. And it’s Warner Bros. Who are producing Sonic.... yeah this isn’t exciting news at all.
@Wavey84 the jewel in a very very sub average crown lol. Don’t get me wrong it’s a guilty pleasure for sure.
Dunno seems too vague at the minute. It does feel like an attempt to keep up buzz during production. Weird that they didn’t clarify some of the other statements made before. Anyway hopeful for the game but this doesn’t mean much right now too wishy washy.
@Morpheel lol again someone missing the point I see. It’s a local paper not national end of. Don’t care where it’s country of origin is. Now sit down and stop protecting those you deem weaker.
And referring to their mistake as an oopsie!!! Now who is acting superior towards another country?
@Delibheel don’t think I would consider my local (key word here) paper not national tabloid but a local paper to be mainstream media. Think you’ve missed my point a little there.
@AlexSora89 lol that’s funny as. Haven’t heard that name in a while and now we know he found a different bridge to live under. Thanks to @Spoony_Tech for the troll hunt 😂
@WOLF13 I think that many of the fans would be happy with that. I say this because there is a lot of fan made art which is very “awww” inducing.
Again I’m not into cutesy stuff but I personally think there are many fans out there who would like this style. I’ve probs met more female Zelda fans than I have met guy Zelda fans... just my experience but I am just surprised at how many seem to really not like this style. Surely there are others that thought “that looks awesome”
During the Direct my wife and I sat there going “looks like your playing with real toys” that looks cool.
Surprised at the overwhelmingly negative opinions on the art style of this game. I’m not really into cutesy look, however, as soon as the gameplay started I did “awww” out loud.... it looks interesting and like others have said different. It is good to get something you may not expect every so often. Like Yoshi made of yarn these are trying something new rather than regurgitating the same look again and again.
@GrailUK I don’t know that’s what I thought when Wii U released “what’s confusing about that?” But now we look back and that was a defining part of the failings of the Wii U.
The docked mode to handheld has been sold to the market so well. If they drop the ability to dock the system, doesn’t that go completely against how the Switch was sold in the first place.
Am I the only one who thinks that if they drop the docked mode (that’s if that is the idea of a reduced version) that in doing so Nintendo run the risk of confusing the ‘average consumer’? Much like the Wii U did....
@Majora101 mate this click-bait tactic has been going on here @ NLife a while how. Hence I just don’t visit this site often anymore. Ever since the last editor left I have been watching it get worse and worse. Totally agree with you the site is losing loyal readership this way

Re: Review: The Way Remastered (Switch eShop)
Grabbed this at $1.59 AUS! Cool little game good puzzles and the platforming wasn’t so bad just reminded me of the good ol days of gaming.
Didn’t have a single issue with bugs so must be patched or I was I lucky. The checkpoints are in good places and you don’t have to replay too much.
Overall well worth it. Deserves more than a 6/10
