I recently picked up a box of 48 brand new still sealed Topps Nintendo Game Packs scratch off cards and stickers that were released in 1989!
My younger self just high fived my now older current self.
I give Totk a solid 473 angry ducks stuck in an elevator or 83 happy giraffes joyriding in a convertible which, as anyone will tell you, is high praise indeed.
Just finished Super Daryl Deluxe on Switch, a great Metroidvania, highly recommended.
Just started Out Buddies DX also on Switch and bout to start Detroit Become Human on my PS4.
Got this on my wishlist. I thought getting lost and finding your way was the whole point of a Metroidvania, you know, exploring, backtracking, leveling up etc is the norm isn't it? I see that's positive not a negative.
@theModestMouse No, definitely not. They release more rubbish than this in physical form so why can't I hope they release a game I'm actually interested in.
@Dm9982
Yeah, it must be something like that.
It was on sale too as I had it on my wishlist and was going to buy it but then realised it was gone.
Tried doing a search for it because I thought I was losing it but sadly it came back with no results.
Strange.
Pre ordered all 3, console, controller and case locked in.
Just in time for my wife's birthday so that's good.
Will go well with my Zelda CE I have also pre ordered.
Afterimage, Tiny Thor, Plucky Squire, Bo, Pepper Grinder, man, there are some truly awesome indie games coming.
They keep me coming back to my Switch, I have way more indie titles than anything else on my Switch.
I hope they get physical copies.
Keep them coming.
Horizon Forbidden West on my PS4, absolutely love this game. Metroid Prime Remastered on my Switch now that my physical copy arrived. Some Rakuga Kids on my N64.
Pix n Love have collectors Editions available in 2 flavours.
A USA style cover and a Japanese style cover (both have alternating reversible covers) for those interested.
Both copies include:
Nefasto's Misadventure: Meeting Noeroze game (physical edition) for Nintendo Switch and its Japanese reversible cover.
A 1980s/90s style cardboard box in a USA or Japanese version, numbered to 500 copies.
A 64-page fully illustrated strategy guide.
The OST in CD format.
A hand-autographed poster of the Aurora Game Studio developers.
I've used Pix n Love numerous times and they aren't like LRG that take an eternity to deliver, they're usually pretty quick, plus they have great communication.
Ask them a question and they always answer.
I still have the original cartridge complete in mint condition with case and manual for my original DS Phat, which is worth a bit of money these days.
An amazing game.
Please Nintendo, make new versions of 1080, Waverace, Excite Truck and for the love of everything a new F Zero. There are those of us out there that prefer those games over Mario Kart, we do exist, we are not unicorns.
I am yet to play it.
Unfortunately I have a huge backlog to get through and this is one of them.
I bought the Limited Edition from LRG and it sits there tempting me every day.
At least by the time I do get to it I will have extra characters and modes.
Sometimes it pays to have a backlog.
Reminds me of another game that Nintendo Life didn't review called Skul: The Hero Slayer where you use different skulls that change your abilities.
It was an awesome Dead Cells style game that NL still hasn't reviewed.
Their loss as it is a great game.
N64 for me, followed by the Cube as both those consoles have F Zero, Waverace, 1080 and the best Zelda games.
Switch is feeding off the Wii U's best games with Splatoon, MK8 etc.
Not enough risk taking for my liking, also where the .... is a new 1080, Waverace, F Zero or Excite Truck Nintendo?
It was excellent. Already preordered Zelda CE through EB here in Australia so I'm good. Hoping for a CE of Prime but I'll just settle for it being released physically in any way. Can't wait.
@Serpenterror I've bought a few games off Pix n Love and they always deliver. I bought No More Heroes 3 CE, Sifu Signature Edition, Cuphead Deluxe Edition (just shipped last week) and I have Souldiers CE pre ordered with them. Souldiers is the only game they have been delayed on but they contacted me and let me know. Their communication is excellent, ask them a question and they always get back to you I'll be pre-ordering this too if my wallet will let me.
I hope Switch lasts for another few years and gets an upgrade of some sort as I have a massive backlog for it and I want to pretend I have a chance of catching up.
Is this getting the physical treatment? I hope so. I need more Metroidvania games, I already have nearly all of them physically and I can't get enough. Just picked up a second hand copy of Salt and Sanctuary and finished Death's Gambit, about to start F.I.S.T and Ender Lillies Keep em coming.
I'm playing it on my widescreen crt tv and my original launch day N64 and it runs great.
No remapping the buttons needed, local multiplayer for free and I can unplug my competitors controllers ftw!😜

Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Wins Award For Best Original Video Game Score At The Ivors
Great game, still playing it in between Totk.
The music is excellent so I am glad it got recognised.
I hope this franchise keeps going, one of the best collaborations they've done in a long while.
Re: Zelda Switch OLED Launch Boosts Nintendo Hardware Sales In April (US)
I helped, I bought the new Zelda OLED model.
On a side note, after watching countless videos of Koroks being endlessly abused I'm going to rename Totk to
Torturing of the Koroks.

Tik Totk obviously, loving it so far, along with Greak on Switch and some Detroit Become Human on PS4.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Now The "Highest Rated Game Of All Time" On OpenCritic
I give Totk a solid 473 angry ducks stuck in an elevator or 83 happy giraffes joyriding in a convertible which, as anyone will tell you, is high praise indeed.

I see that's positive not a negative.
Grabbing this regardless.
Re: Community: Have You Played A Great Switch Game We Missed? Let Us Know About It
I've already sent you guys a few last time so I'm not going to send it again as you still haven't reviewed it.
Skul: The Hero Slayer
A great Dead Cells game that even has the Beheaded from Dead Cells in it as a playable character!
Seriously good game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 15th)
Super Daryl Deluxe on Switch, thoroughly enjoying it.
Just about finished my second playthrough of Last of Us after enjoying the show.
Also downloaded My Friend Pedro and Outbuddies DX on Switch to start next.
Re: 'Mangavania' Looks To Blend Metroidvania Mechanics With Downwell Aesthetics
@theModestMouse
No, definitely not.
They release more rubbish than this in physical form so why can't I hope they release a game I'm actually interested in.
Re: 'Mangavania' Looks To Blend Metroidvania Mechanics With Downwell Aesthetics
More Metroidvania games?
Yes please!
This reminds me of Astronite, hope it gets a physical as well.
Switch is my favourite Metroidvania machine, I mainly play these and not a lot else, I love how many excellent ones there are on Switch.
Keep them coming.

Wallachia Reign of Dracula has been taken off the eshop.
Just thought I'd point it out.
Re: Random: Bitmap Is Bringing Xeno Crisis To N64 And GameCube

Great game.
Re: Where To Buy Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED Console And Pro Controller

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 25th)
F.I.S.T, really enjoying it.
Also started my second playthrough of Last of Us after enjoying the show and not having played it for ages.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Hype Levels for Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I'm not too excited.
Until I get the game and I play it myself, until then I will wait quietly with hope.
I just finished Horizon Forbidden West and that game was amazing, if it is as good as that I will be happy.

Re: Random: Rare Pokémon Trading Card Auctioned For $480K Gets Zero Bids

I'll keep those instead thanks.
Re: Review: Pronty - A Challenging, Aquatic Metroidvania With Beautiful BioShock-Inspired Visuals
Already had it on my wishlist as soon as I saw it was a Metroidvania in the previews.
I'll grab it on sale as I have about 10 other Metroidvania's to get through first.
I love the genre and my Switch is predominantly a Metroidvania machine, which I couldn't be happier about.
Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Bags Franchise's Fourth Biggest Boxed Launch

Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Nano Assault EX

Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Edition Out Now In Europe & Japan

Metroid Prime?
Yes, I still have my original copy and my Cube as well.
Can't wait to play it on my Switch though.
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Edition Out Now In Europe & Japan
Mine is on its way to me as we speak.
It will jump straight to the front of my backlog.😁
Re: Soapbox: 1080° Snowboarding Is The Coolest Nintendo Ever Got

Re: Steal Your Enemies' Skulls In Twisted Metroidvania 'Zapling Bygone'
Looks awesome.
Hopefully there's a physical copy.
Reminds me of another game that Nintendo Life didn't review called Skul: The Hero Slayer where you use different skulls that change your abilities.
It was an awesome Dead Cells style game that NL still hasn't reviewed.
Their loss as it is a great game.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope 'Tower Of Doooom' DLC Will Spook Next Week
Love this game.
Bought the Gold Edition on sale at Christmas so I look forward to playing the Tower of Doooom.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best First-Party Games Lineup?
N64 for me, followed by the Cube as both those consoles have F Zero, Waverace, 1080 and the best Zelda games.
Switch is feeding off the Wii U's best games with Splatoon, MK8 etc.
Not enough risk taking for my liking, also where the .... is a new 1080, Waverace, F Zero or Excite Truck Nintendo?
Come on, take a risk.
Re: Sakurai Says Working On DS Puzzler 'Meteos' Was A "Fascinating Challenge"

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Nintendo Direct?
It was excellent.
Already preordered Zelda CE through EB here in Australia so I'm good.
Hoping for a CE of Prime but I'll just settle for it being released physically in any way.
Can't wait.
Re: Yes, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Costs $70, Collector's Edition Announced

Re: It's Official, Total Switch Sales Have Now Surpassed The Game Boy And PS4

Re: Hands On: Afterimage Is The Most Beautiful-Looking Metroidvania We've Ever Played

I hope so.
I need more Metroidvania games, I already have nearly all of them physically and I can't get enough.

Keep em coming.
Re: Pronty, A Metroidvania With Echoes Of BioShock, Swims Onto Switch This March

Horizon Forbidden West on my PS4.
Cuphead on my Switch.
Rush 2049 and Hydrothunder on my N64.
Re: Video: GoldenEye 007 Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & N64)
I'll play it on my CRT with original hardware.
I don't need to give Nintendo money for something I have owned for 25+ years.
Glad it has finally arrived though.
Still can't beat couch multiplayer though.
Nothing like elbowing your mate in the ribs when you take them down.
