Nintendo are not going to "remaster" 15 Super Mario games for Switch in the same year.

@fiben1002 Except you don't need to because the festivals / holidays now seem to last longer than a single day.

As the article fails to be precise about this, please note you don't 'always' have to be online for a holiday.

Just connect online at some point after the real date so the game knows and that it won't simply go based off the system clock.

I really can't understand why the non-host characters in single Switch co-op can't pick things up. Just have a shared inventory with the leader [host]. It's so simple that it's deeply frustrating they didn't implement it.

If your helpers have no inventory and can't pick anything up, what can they do besides shake trees and run around then?

It's almost functionally pointless as a result.

Watched an English dub of this years ago.

Well, that told me absolutely nothing that hasn't been shown or covered elsewhere.

People have a ton of questions about this game, so either you haven't thought to address them, don't know, or can't say i suppose.

@Xaessya Glad to see someone else concerned about this because they made absolutely no mention of it in the Direct. I love that ACNH features greater freedom and deeper customisation than ever before, but I also want more things to actually 'do' apart from traditional bug, fish and fossil hunts.

If the mini-games from New Leaf don't return then that'll def. be a mark against it in my book - especially since there's now 8-player online, and single switch 1-4 player support.

We know some of the side-islands are for foraging things and bringing them back to the central island, another is run by Harvey and lets you stage photo shoots with other characters, so hopefully there's one for activities / friends

Hopefully Nintendo's lawyers will continue to be in touch with Sabi. Clearly another selfish leaker that doesn't care about people working hard on these games getting to pick and choose when and how they want to reveal their creations to the world.

Is there any particular reason the ShopTo link for the Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch is not on here?

@Mando44646 Bank and Transporter are free for the first month after HOME releases. Just transfer them then.

@sikthvash I was also excited to learn there was a demo, but considering how short the game is, i don't want to try it. Heh.

I'm already sold it though i guess, so the demo isn't for me.

@jump agreed, esp. that they have the gall to charge that much but don't include a battery, or even a charging cable.

I think Smash pro's need to recognise that there 'is' business sense in seeking to cater to more of the player base with a broader, more diverse range of Smash competitions and events.

The above is simply a continuation of their company philosophy tbh.

I came in here to critique but...

Chibi-Robo, Pikmin, Elite Beat Agents 'and' Xenoblade Chronicles X mentioned in a single post.

Well now, that deserves a round-of-applause.

Nearly $300 to provide a screen for a portable product that already contains a screen. Shakes head.

For other HDMI-compatible devices though, i can see more of a use.

@Stocksy funny thing is, if it was less 64mate, and more 64chimney, i'd be all in. If i can't stand inside there with my games, then no buy!

I think i'm happy enough with my N64 being able to fit inside my entertainment centre thanks very much. Aesthetically, i just find it laughable.

Why is there so little said about the multiplayer in this review?

Other reviews i've read say that all you can do is play a single event with 2-4 people and then it's back to the main menu.

No tournament or an olympic team mode, or any other aspect to the multiplayer here [if the other reviews are correct] would be really disappointing.

Meh. A solution for problems that aren't that big of a deal, and have far more attractive looking alternatives.

The see through white plastic aesthetic is just awful.

@MBII That's a pretty lame critical takedown of my reasoning

Everyone on here is basically praising the diorama, and they should, it's a great piece. But the piece as a whole 'includes' the amiibo and the Switch, and there it both follows good design principles 'and' doesn't simultaneously.

When integrating two things, you need to have them compliment one another or blend in.

Look at the Pikachu Eevee Switch for example, it follows the Switch's minimalist design with etched outlines of both Pokemon on the dock, elegantly matched to the colour Joy-Cons on the side.

The diorama has a Link amiibo placed in to an artistic recreation of the environment in which the character adventures in the game. Great.

The Switch is just a black monolith at odds with everything else in the piece.

Heh. I feel like i'm the only one that dislikes these things.

I appreciate the work that went in to it and the Amiibo holder is a good touch, but otherwise it looks like you've caved in your child's toy or art and crafts model and stuck a black tablet through it.

The short is that they don't compliment each other at all.

@Jeronan Nowhere did I say it was a simple mod. All i said was there 'was' one. I've seen those videos of modded 3DS's and i am aware of the cost so really you aren't saying anything I didn't already know.

My point was to cast doubt on it being impossible, and that even if was at this point, modders will find a way, because they always do.

I recall people doing mods to get the 3DS to output to a TV so i doubt this is impossible. Difficult i'm sure but in such circles, the challenge will be too enticing for some to pass up.

Gematsu says:

"1993-released Aladdin game and 1994-released The Lion King game, both originally developed by Virgin Interactive for Sega Genesis and SNES (The Lion King-only)

SNES Aladdin was by Capcom so Genesis Aladdin and SNES and Genesis Lion King?

Waiting for the official announcement I guess

Absolutely in my wheelhouse but without multiplayer it's a hard pass.

Netflix Animation, King Features staff plus Dave Wasson (Mickey Mouse Shorts) and Cosmo Segurson (Rocko’s Modern Life) are involved.

Cuphead co-creator Chad Moldenhauer “The current goal is to stay as far away from [computer-assisted] puppeteer animation as possible,” he added. “The idea will still be that every frame is hand-drawn” but probably not on paper. “It’s going to be hand-drawn but digitally. ‘Tradigital’

Why is such info lacking in this article?

Did NLife really forget to check that stock was available before posting this, or are we expected to believe that all 4 sites sold out in 5 mins?

I miss the original NWC revival format of a medley of games, which were unannounced and featured a losers or underground bracket.

I also can't stand the constant high energy nattering and lengthy interludes with the hosts / panelists. It's just so draining and without pause that i find it inauthentic and unpleasant to sit through.

Really? 1080p streaming tech that mimics Wii U isn't compatible with one of the key points of non-detachable Joy-Cons [ cutting the price ] buttons are uncomfortably close together and the revised dock means the exposed screen will be perfect for dust to accumulate.

So no thanks

@Andigaming When Nintendo's pre-E3 3v3 Smash World Finals airs online on 8th June, there'll be plenty of people watching, i guarantee it.

In before people say "Witcher 3 can't run on Switch" when GPD Win 2 can run it.

"refrain from posting any images or videos online" ... that rule is going to be broken first thing on wednesday, i guarantee it.

The ability to flick a switch and toggle tabletop and tv modes is great but the aesthetics, specifically the colour is so off-putting, and doesn't mesh well with the Switch.

@Sinton Heh maybe.

I figured he'd misread the name as Big [S]Hits and had covered his nose for the photo shoot

Wow is that box art ugly.

Also, what is the player on the far right doing with his hand?

@Itzdmo Hot take alert. It's a faulty battery with the system he owns SINGULAR. Yet you blow that up to be an indictment of the whole system. Ridiculous.

@YANDMAN It is extremely ugly, and has compromised usability for size.

I'm sure people will tell me "but it's homemade". To that i'd say, there are plenty of homemade mods out there that don't look like a child drew them with crayon and then cut them out with a rusty saw.

Anyone else just going to try playing through the Odyssey update without the goggles? That's what i'll be doing.

I love Captain Toad but i did absolutely everything in the Wii U version and have no desire to experience it again.

Selfishly i wish i could just buy the DLC and play through that, but i understand from a business perspective why that will never happen.

@roadrunner343 I feel you man. Top ten doesn't seem to be a problem for me either, but i feel like there's some strat regarding top 10 play that i'm lacking / not seeing that would help my chances of winning more frequently.

Jesus this video is painful to get through. Don't get me wrong, the guy knows his stuff and i'm fully on-board with his arguments but the background music is way too high and repetitive, and frankly completely unnecessary for this type of video.

Hooray the world looks dull and drab. Good job Mr. Modder, you've gotten rid of the cel shading and brought us that elusive "mature" Zelda!

...ugh

From the article...

"Acquired linear pattern texture on the lower half side on the back allows the excitement to play retro games. The feeling of subtle bumps on the texture with the debossed linear texture brings out the analogic memory, translating in attractive visual at the same time."

The first part is just complete waffly nonsense and massive grooves all over the back do not equate to gentle bumps and clashes with the sleek front of the device.

The less said about the button and the directional pad the better. There's no need to radically fix things that aren't broken. The only smart decisions here are to put the speakers near the top and maybe to lock the cartridge in whilst the system is switched on.

@Agramonte and there it is, there's the dumb comment that completely ignores the fact that Labo contains a whole software package as well as the Toy-Cons.

@Bobb That's laughable tbh. There's nearly 700 games in the North American NES library alone, releasing two a month means 24 a year. You think they've got a roadmap for releasing NES titles on Switch for nearly 30 years!?

They can 'afford' to release far more than 2 a month, they just 'choose' not to. Big difference.

@UmbreonsPapa Indeed. At the moment it feels like one person's word against another.

@NoxAeturnus We don't need them is the answer. The Direct airs tomorrow. Show some patience, just wait, watch it and receive the info in the best way possible.

@NintendoLife: Appreciate the extra speedy update this week.

Btw: The list is missing the Awesome Pea demo

Praying for Game Boy style monochrome foot gloves!

@gcunit There is beauty in simplicity, and quality is timeless. There's your answer.
