@SLIGEACH_EIRE think you should maybe buy one before you tell other owners what type of device it is. I have one so at least I can actually share my opinion not judge from the outside. That's why when something is reviewed ppl use said hardware/software not look at an information sheet....
@RoomB31 I love my local EB Games the guys there are really helpful and great ppl to chat too when it's not busy. Also they price match so just shop around and show them you'll get the best price! They handle all my preorders with no problems at all. Much prefer that to ordering online. Just my personal opinion but all this reliance on digital and online is nowhere near the same satisfied experience you get from speaking face to face with someone. When my joycon played up I took it in and swapped it over in minutes not sat waiting for my entire Switch to go through post to Nintendo and back again.
I saw this in EB Games the other day and assumed it was regular monopoly. We have the special edition here with Bowser. I'm very tempted to buy it now, thanks for the review!
What the fudge am I watching this sugar for!? Stopped at 36 seconds is it a game or a new movie/show thanks @bunkerneath that's at least a game. Still not that interested though lol.
Sweet I've bought a massive game guide which was hard to get through the door btw! All in preparation for this game. Never played it thought it was too big but to have it portable is gonna be a big help. I cannot wait!!!!!
Uh could have been cooler. The cake and water looks rubbish and quite similar in appearance. I get it's just promo fluff but still they want us to play it right? Not for me when it looks that bland. All the time and effort seems to have been spent on chubby half dressed pixel art..... real cool 😒
RE4 on Wii was by far the most immersive one of the lot and I played it loads because of the controller scheme. I can't wait for this now! For those that don't want it they can switch it off. Perfect.
@BinaryFragger lol I don't know about ppl in the past hating on those things. But I hate achievements that box popping up in the corner to let me know I just completed level one.... I know that I just spent the last few minutes watching an fmv letting me know I just completed said level! I've always preferrred the in game menus to understand how much a game has been completed. As for showing off to friends what I have finished etc, yawn I'm still waiting for that info to load, now I'm not interested anymore.... literally don't understand this achievements/trophies obsession.
@maruse damn man.... I didn't actually think about that at all. I primarily buy cartridges/discs as I want to be able to pick it up at any point in the future and play it. If that's true then it makes me worry bought the longevity of my Switch in terms of playing it like I do on my N64 every now and then.....
@Xaldin agreed. I get that this is a soapbox and he's just airing his dislike of the game...... but saying it's no good and not worth your time! Shut up man rubbish opinion no one listen to this guy. The camera has some quirks as most if not all games of that gen had but doesn't take away the fact that SMS is one of the best 3d platformers around.
@superguy123 I hope your right, but I dunno! We shall se I guess. It feels like last month dragged big time and these first few weeks of September are the same even after the release of Metroid I'm gonna be hanging out for the SNES Mini, man this month is gonna rule!
@Steve_Bowling hey man don't worry bout the mistake it's called being human and it happens lol. How's the 3d looking is it the 3ds swan song as I've heard? I don't play my 3ds in 3d much but from what I've heard it's totally worth it on this game.
I saw a video on YouTube by game theorists about it made some interesting points. I know they are just for fun but the idea of augmented reality and the Switch would be a winner in my book!
@Nolan420 yeah I know that because I've bothered to read an article or two and understand what is big in the US despite not living there. I'm just laughing at some of the ppl here from the US who refuse to look at the outside world once in a while because they think only America counts. Not trying to have a go at you but must not have been clear enough before lol... rant over.
I love the comments from the American users.... "duuurrr what's other countries, soccer sucks who cares about it, I like to ignore millions of people who actually exist. Where's my 'world' series Madden" Lol I'm so hyped for this game now definitely a must have FIFA on the go! Awesome😍
Mario on mobile was good I couldn't get Fire Emblem to work.... I'd be excited for a Kirby mobile game though! Wonder what they will come up with before Kirby😏
I reckon a good few of you are missing the point of the article. It's not saying a golden era of gaming for Nintendo.... that's just a piece of the whole pie. I've been gaming for a good long while and I think it's certainly a good time to be a gamer. Maybe not a golden age but there is defo a lot of choice and quiet affordable too. It was once a matter of selling older games to upgrade whereas now I can keep a lot of my older hardware and software.
I'd rather an old game of Metroid or a Castlevania rather than another modern 8 bit inspired by game... plus this trailer has very little to go off. Not sure about this one. Any big games coming yet? I'm waiting somewhat patiently but finding it harder and harder now!
Wow the people who are commenting on Capcom being horrible for this move....did you read the article? Or just comment after reading the headline. As for whether or not Capcom's glory years are over, their true glory years we're back in the Ninties, they are a strong developer who I hope will be around for a long time. Sometimes putting out weak material but always there to release something special once in a while. Resi4 Wii anyone👌
Why in the world would you do that to an AGS-101 when it can play your Gamboy Color games anyway..... seems utterly stupid. Do you know how long and hard it was for me to track down an AGS-101 and manage to get it at the none crazy price they command. What a ridiculous idea. Back to drawing board come back to me with a better one.... sorry to be so blunt.
@NintyNate "The thing is coz the Switch has mobile tech and uses Nvidia stuffs it's going to get more and more of these types of games ..."
That's exactly what I'm scared of. I have a 3ds as I want real gaming experiences on the go not these cheap mobile games that imo just are not good enough games. Not when you are used to console gaming. I'm not saying the visuals weren't up to scratch just boring character models and backgrounds. The backgrounds were rinsed and repeated too many times. Again this is just my personal experience and if you enjoyed it fair enough. But there are better games out there waaaaaaaaay more worth my time, this horrible drivel of software is not for me thanks. If the Switch got something like Devil May Cry a very old game I would rejoice. That's a game not Implosion!
@NintyNate no it really wasn't. I hate that game boring visuals, boring game play, go from here to here, boring mechanics, press this button and then this one for rubbish combo A or B, boring script boring acting boring boring 😴😴😴 sorry drifted off there just from reliving my horrible experience with that thing. (I refuse to call that a game it's an insult to the industry)
And quiet honestly I'm actually scared at the prospect of titles like this coming from mobile games and flooding the Switch market. The Switch deserves more than this kind of experience, it's certainly not what I bought it for. I hope others don't make these types of titles a success.... I really really hope....
Uuuuuuggghh! Another ex mobile game.... Implosion was utter drivel! I will avoid this like the plague. I don't want games that my mobile can play the Switch is better than this.
@NintendoLife when you do these articles can you maybe not only have links and some bigger more detailed pictures I don't really want to have to go to another site just to look at the images. The pictures which act as links always appear so small.
Came out weeks ago in Australia and I love it. Hardly use the 3D on my other models so don't miss it one bit. This has made me pick up many of my games that have sat unloved for a long time.
Lol basketball a niche game..... I'm sorry I'm still laughing at that! Funniest thing I've heard I a while. Thanks to all those that pulled him up on it.
@Dakt dude it is gaming news and I for one appreciate being able to come here and get lots of news and not have to go to multiple sources. I also like the fact that coming here is not the equivalent of sticking my head in the sand as soon as non Nintendo news gets anywhere close to me.
@Dang69 Good call man. Yeah I reckon some would be much happier sticking to news sources that aren't the press. A balanced opinion and view is not what some want obviously.
@Damo lol. I was gonna post a sarcastic comment on how this is not Nintendo news because I knew there would be these stupid comments but they all beat me to the punch. And then you gave the perfect response to said stupid posts! Lmao
@EDF it's most likely that came from the fact it started in the Gameboy Color and was the only one for many years before becoming a download title available on multiple platforms. But yeah it's not really is it lol.
Shantae's art is awesome but I won't pick this up.
My dream come true would be the same as the 2DS xl with an iPhone on the back of thr top screen. Or some variant of that. Phone and 'real' games all in one pocket size package. I'd be set. I know it won't happen but hey it's a dream.
@Folkloner like you I would rather stay completely oblivious to the world around me. I wish news sources would only promote content deemed appropriate by publishers and other 'safe' sources. I am just not able to deal with the real world.

Re: Necrocosmos Aims To Bring Metroidvania Style Goodness To Switch
