@sandman89 @WiltonRoots ye could always try importing the japanese version of okami as it comes with an english version that the switch auto detects. I got my physical version off eBay. It was just a case of waiting an extra week for the game to ship to me.
@shani I think your being a bit unfair to the site on this occasion. A few months ago they put out a request, to the people visiting on a regular basis, for ideas to improve the site. I don't know if I was the only one who requested it but making a highlight reel of the best eshop releases that month was something I wanted because I was finding it difficult to keep up with the amount of releases recently.
If anything I think it shows that they listen to their readers which should be celebrated.
I've added a link to the article I mentioned below. My input was comment 9.
That's a little disappointing. I was hoping it would arrive before christmas this year. I suppose I'll just have to make do with the 3ds version for a little while longer.
I wasn't planning on getting this since I have smash on the Wii U but the sheer amount of content for ultimate has convinced me otherwise. Actually the music content alone is worth the price of purchase in my opinion.
One thing I wouldn't mind is maybe a top 5 or top 10 eshop highlights at the end of the month. The switch seems to be getting a lot of indie games lately and I feel I'm possibly missing some good games due to the sheer volume being released.
Hopefully they have another game to announce for the holidays and held off on revealing it. They might have felt that smash was going to steal all the thunder at E3 and a later reveal might work better for the game.
Sounds good to me. I'm really looking forward to E3 this year. Nintendo have kept the second half of 2018 under wraps so far, so I'm hopeful there'll be a few good surprises this year.
@ThanosReXXX my bad on the rouge. I never really bothered too much with the single player as the on foot sections weren't great but the co-op with my buddy gave me my fondest memorys of the gamecube so 3 will always be the better game.
I really like the voice work in this game so I'll be keeping that slider on but its nice that they gave the option to turn it off for those that wish it.
Nintendolife should do this list again this time next year and see if the results change after the hype for odyssey dies down. My favourites: 2d- super mario world. 3d- Super Mario 3d world. Overall- Super Mario World. I plan to get odyssey at Christmas so I couldn't rate it against the other games yet.
Yes the gamecube controller is by far my favourite. I love how they resized the ABXY buttons to reflect how often they normally get used. It doesn't work out for every game but most of the time it's fantastic.
Tengami finally something I don't own that I've been meaning to pick up. I hope it doesn't take another year and a bit for another title I want to show up.
This is the game I'm looking forward to most this year. On a seperate note, I'd love it if the first chronicles and X also came out on switch at some point. Whether on virtual console or a hd port doesn't matter although if they sold the 3 on a cart as some trilogy collection that would be amazing.
That'll be one sale lost for any game that has this practice. With my internet I can't really download anything over 5gigs in the one day without getting hit with a large fee for going over my download limit.
I still play a wonderful life on the gamecube the odd time. God help me if I ever lose that save file cause the taught of going back to the start after 15 years or so with the one save.
I picked up my 3ds at launch and for the last year or so I've been tempted to upgrade to one of the new xl models but could never justify paying over 200euros for one considering my original 3ds still works perfectly. If the 2ds xl does release for 150euro over here I'll most likely pick one up.

Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Switch Bundle Pre-Orders Now Live With Mario And Link GameCube Controllers
@gimmi_c cheers for the update. Never noticed that on the first inspection. I suppose i'll just have to invest in a smash gc controller instead.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Switch Bundle Pre-Orders Now Live With Mario And Link GameCube Controllers
That zelda gamecube controller looks sweet. It's definitely one i'll pick up at launch.
Re: UK Charts Reveal That Only 2% Of NBA 2K19's Launch Sales Were On Switch
That's a shame. I'd have been interested myself if the download wasn't so large.
Re: Limited Run Games Locks In Physical Release Dates For Furi And Golf Story
I'm hoping to get golf story.
Re: RPG Maker MV Releases In North America Next February
That's a little disappointing. I was hoping it would arrive before christmas this year. I suppose I'll just have to make do with the 3ds version for a little while longer.
Re: Stardew Valley Meets Hotline Miami In Damnview: Built From Nothing, Headed To Switch
Seems a bit too upbeat for my liking. Maybe they'll tone it down before release
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Feature 103 Unique Stages
I wasn't planning on getting this since I have smash on the Wii U but the sheer amount of content for ultimate has convinced me otherwise. Actually the music content alone is worth the price of purchase in my opinion.
Re: Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse Sets Course For Switch This September
I can see myself picking this up. The last broken sword I played was on the wii so I feel I'm due a good point and click adventure.
Re: Super Mario Land And Sushi Striker Feature In The Latest European My Nintendo Rewards
Some themes for the switch would be a nice idea.
Re: Rumour: Luigi’s Mansion For 3DS Is Out In October, According To Best Buy
October seems like a good fit. Especially with halloween at the end of the month.
Re: Site News: We Want Your Help To Become Even Better
One thing I wouldn't mind is maybe a top 5 or top 10 eshop highlights at the end of the month. The switch seems to be getting a lot of indie games lately and I feel I'm possibly missing some good games due to the sheer volume being released.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Isn't Concerned About Competitive Aspect Of Super Smash Bros.
Well said Sakurai. I've no doubt that ultimate will be a great game.

I got RPGmaker fes on the 3ds and really love it. So I'm definitely interested in MV.
Re: Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aimé Hits Back At Analysts After Recent Share Price Drop
Hopefully they have another game to announce for the holidays and held off on revealing it.
They might have felt that smash was going to steal all the thunder at E3 and a later reveal might work better for the game.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Passes The 10 Million Sold Marker
Well done Xenoblade. Hopefully it'll get a few hundred thousand more before its sales dry up.
Re: Rumour: Did Bethesda Just Tease DOOM 2 For This Year's E3?
Sounds good to me. I'm really looking forward to E3 this year. Nintendo have kept the second half of 2018 under wraps so far, so I'm hopeful there'll be a few good surprises this year.
Re: Capcom Classic Okami HD Stalks Its Way To Switch This Summer
I'm very interested but I really hope they do a physical release.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd February (Europe)
I'm hoping to get hollow if it reviews well.
Re: Nintendo's Track Record With Direct Broadcasts Points to Another One Happening Very Soon
It makes sense that there could be another one soon when you look at the games that are coming this year that never got mentioned.
Re: Video: The 21 Best GameCube Games Money Can Buy
@ThanosReXXX my bad on the rouge. I never really bothered too much with the single player as the on foot sections weren't great but the co-op with my buddy gave me my fondest memorys of the gamecube so 3 will always be the better game.
Re: Video: The 21 Best GameCube Games Money Can Buy
Looking at that list and some of the games in the comments. I think if gamecube virtual console does come it'll cost me a small fortune.
Re: Video: The 21 Best GameCube Games Money Can Buy
Rouge squadron 3 and fire emblem could really do with being on that list.
Re: Nintendo Switch Reaches 10 Million Global Sales In Its First Nine Months
@SLIGEACH_EIRE have fun you've some really good games there.
Re: Guide: Breathe Easy, You Can Disable Character Voices in Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Re: The Latest Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gift is For Your Lovely Horse
My lovely horse has to be Irelands favourite eurovision song despite not ever actually being in the eurovision.
Re: TIME Names the Nintendo Switch Its Number One Gadget of 2017
Excellent. Nice to see the snes classic mini beat the Xbox One X also.
Re: Rumour: Capcom Creating New Ace Attorney For Switch Alongside Collections Of Past Entries
The only objection here is from my wallet and he can shut up as I'll definitely double dip on a bit of phoenix wright.
Re: Poll: Which is the Best Super Mario Game?
Nintendolife should do this list again this time next year and see if the results change after the hype for odyssey dies down.
My favourites: 2d- super mario world. 3d- Super Mario 3d world. Overall- Super Mario World.
I plan to get odyssey at Christmas so I couldn't rate it against the other games yet.
Re: The SNES Classic Mini Has Already Hit Two Million Sales Worldwide
I haven't seen one in the wild since launch. Hopefully one will turn up before Christmas.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Halloween Edition
@Chandlero I've been playing xenoblade chronicles x the last month too. Can't wait for 2 to come out in December.
For halloween I'll most likely give ZombiU another play through.
Re: Nintendo Switch v4.0.0 Update Brought Surprise GameCube Controller Adapter Support
Yes the gamecube controller is by far my favourite. I love how they resized the ABXY buttons to reflect how often they normally get used. It doesn't work out for every game but most of the time it's fantastic.
Re: Don't Knock Twice Is Bringing Supernatural Horror To Switch
I liked wales interactives first person games so I can see myself picking this up.
Re: Feature: 20 Games That Aren't On The SNES Classic Mini, But Really Should Be
I'd love to see the chaos engine on that list. One of my all time favourite co-op games.
Re: Four More Games Available for Gold Points in European My Nintendo Update
Tengami finally something I don't own that I've been meaning to pick up. I hope it doesn't take another year and a bit for another title I want to show up.

I can't wait. It looks absolutely charming.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Hits Switch On December 1st
This was the best thing in the direct for me. December can't come fast enough.
Re: First Impressions: Traversing Titans in Xenoblade Chronicles 2
This is the game I'm looking forward to most this year. On a seperate note, I'd love it if the first chronicles and X also came out on switch at some point. Whether on virtual console or a hd port doesn't matter although if they sold the 3 on a cart as some trilogy collection that would be amazing.
Re: Get Ready To Plough Some Fields In Farming Simulator: Nintendo Switch Edition
It's not my cup of tea but the more variety in the switches game library the better.
Re: Some Retail Nintendo Switch Games Will Require You To Own A MicroSD Card
That'll be one sale lost for any game that has this practice. With my internet I can't really download anything over 5gigs in the one day without getting hit with a large fee for going over my download limit.
Re: Natsume's Hiro Maekawa Talks Harvest Moon, Switch And Making "Everyone Happy"
I still play a wonderful life on the gamecube the odd time. God help me if I ever lose that save file cause the taught of going back to the start after 15 years or so with the one save.
Re: Congratulations Nintendo 64, You're A Proper Grown-Up Now
Me and my 3 brothers play Wcw/nwo revenge every christmas. I still haven't found a better local multiplayer game.
Re: Thank Samus, Metroid Prime 4 Has Been Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
No gameplay or any real details revealed yet my hype jumped well past the max with the reveal.
Re: New Splatoon 2 Switch Accessories And Hardware Bundle Announced
I like how the switch is getting a lot of different colours very early on for the joy cons. Hopefully the switch itself will get a few varieties soon.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (3DS)
Sounds like a must have for me.
Re: Nintendo Using Costly Air Freight To Meet Demand For Switch Faster
Thats handy. Sounds like they've enough of a margin in there to drop the price by around 50 quid if demand ever drops off.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the New Nintendo 2DS XL?
I picked up my 3ds at launch and for the last year or so I've been tempted to upgrade to one of the new xl models but could never justify paying over 200euros for one considering my original 3ds still works perfectly. If the 2ds xl does release for 150euro over here I'll most likely pick one up.
Re: Nintendo Remains Tight-Lipped On SNES Classic Mini Rumours
@Anti-Matter I got one last christmas. Its a great device if you want to bring a bit of life back into your old snes collection.
Re: Rumour: SNES Classic Mini Coming Later This Year
Illusion of time and the chaos engine would keep me happy.
