@Aquinas your reasoning doesn’t make sense. Since the poor and the needy are the victims, and the rest of the people think they are better off without rules, because they think they are or can become the rich ones.

What you’re saying here is that it’s ok to throw 20% of people under the bus if that’s what the majority finds ok.

And regarding your comment ‘we have really tried’, if rules were applied properly regarding oligarchs, they wouldn’t come into power as much. But rules are broken. Via promotion of lying and fearmongering. As I said, ‘people’ as a group are easily manipulated.

Never in history so few people had so much wealth.

@Aquinas i’m of the mindset that prevention is better than curing. Guess you have a different mindset.

@Aquinas you know how difficult it is to get rid of oligarchs?

You almost can’t, but it usually can only be done with a lot of bloodshed and retaliation. Recent examples: Ukraine (2014) and Georgia.

@TitanSix absolutely. This was under Iwata though. Hopefully Nintendo will stand its ground…

@Aquinas people are stupid and heavily influential. As elections show.

Should be a showcase of ‘power to the people’ as you say. Though those same people elect oligarchs instead. Because of talkshows, media and algorithms owned by the same oligarchs. Baited by oneliners that bring a complex world down to a few words they understand, but which are ultimately lies.

So no. Some regulations are needed that span longer than election periods and people’s lifetime.

God I hate this extensive capitalism. A bit of socialism is necessary to regulate the blood hounds of the world.

@B_Lindz it’s much better now compared to launch. F-zero gx is absolutely doable

Nintendo’s killing it imo with its frequent game releases, NS classics releases and technical improvements.

Can’t keep up.

Honestly it’s all the little indie or retro games that run on 720p 60 fps on switch handheld and 1080p 60 fps docked. All of those will run on 1080p now. For instance Mega Man X legacy collection.

Which friends list?….

…sob…

@Vyacheslav333 i don’t think the switch 1 can’t handle tv mode in handheld mode. Without jailbreaking and overclocking that is (which causes other risks).

@SlowPokemon hmm, are you sure? the resolution bump is advertised under the upgrade pack.

Just tried it with the mega man x collection.

What a massive difference in resolution! 💪Clearly visible.

Yeah baby! It’s in my backlog as I’ve been waiting on this moment. Great to have confirmation from the devs!

Mario has a massive had in the Europe / Japan one.

Easy win for NA this time!

@Luigia agreed. It’s a very nice modifier! Potential crazyness

@Tyranexx my condoleances for your loss.

I’ve rediscovered F-Zero 99 and loving it baby! Won my first grand prix last week and my morale is now so boosted any mirror would crash because of my teeth blinging and bust flexing! I’m absolutely positive I’m the best and I’m immensely invested till I win again!

It’ll happen. This is only the 20th grand prix after.

I’m sure of it.

Anytime now…

OH FOR F SAKE, grey bumper. MOVE!

That umbrella corporation’s icon is wild.

‘Press here to order your personal zombie dog home delivery via the window!’

@Jalex_64 i’ve edited my first post and stand corrected partly on that one.

My second post still stands. And you apparently didn’t comment on that one. Good to understand now.

@BAN i’ve rephrased it into an opinion. Edit: oh, it got removed. Might’ve been a bit too political.

However: The ea’s, activisions, take two’s of this world are the companies who do not allow unions to protect employees and have yearly layoffs, while management receives bonusses which increase year over year. Battlefield for instance did beat call of duty last year in sales. Ceo gets its share, but employees are told to f off.

I don’t know any other countries where the gaming business seems as dirty.

One month out?

Please, Nintendolife, help me remember! Please give me a notification once it’s up! 😅

@Jalex_64 please read my comment first before responding and telling somebody he or she ‘lies’.

I said most …. larger games.

And you completely ignored the part regarding switch 1 games and smaller games.

@Anti-Matter have you bought a switch 2 in the mean time btw? Thought you were holding out?

@Jalex_64 switch most likely had reached a value of 100% on doesitplay back in 2023.

The games on switch 2 on a key card are mostly games that require a download on ps5. When looking at the larger games relased on ps5 in 2025 and 2026 most of them have or require a day one patch to function. Sure, the smaller games do not require a patch, but those games release on switch 1 cards as a full game too. So, i see the way of distributing games for ps5 and switch1/2 combined being similar.

Key-cards are not a sham. I understand why they exist, though I do not like them either. To me, the order is as follows:
Code in a box << key-card < eshop < game cardridge

@FredsBodyDouble until somebody actually has it in their hands a physical does not exist yet

@Anti-Matter to me you just seem keen to jump on the key-card hate jump wagon. Most ps5 games require downloads which makes them practically key-cards. Edit: a lot of larger ps5 games require downloads.

This game is just good, apparently. That’s why it sells. I haven’t bought it so i cant tell, but the reviews are really good.

I don’t know why you’d call people buying a game that reviews well people without common sense.

FINALLY…. My goodness.

First press games have blamed the delays constantly on external factors, such as coloring of prints, printers going out of business, and the weather not being kind to products. While in reality it’s just a ponzi scheme.

Never EVER order anything there.

I’m happy to wait a bit longer on a product delivered by a different publisher if it supports Matthias Linda. This debacle must have cost him a lot of money too.

Edit: wait, the options are for kickstarter backers only? What indeed about people like me who ordered at fpg directly? Like @0ohHeWrong mentioned

@Anti-Matter blind popularity? What does that term mean… The game has great reviews….

Happy that Nintendo has received an uptick of their shares value. However, investors these days are so short-sighted, i’m sure the line will increase and decrease steeply again multiple times this year based on randomness.

The switch version doesn’t have a free upgrade patch to the switch 2 version, does it?

Still undecided which one to get.

@The_Nintendo_Expat just fyi: you missed the best 3d mario ever by a ling shot.

@rjejr nintendo has had an interesting year when looking at their directs.

Guess it’s all part of Nintendo having a 3-phase release plan (1st party, 3d party, 1st party) https://insider-gaming.com/nintendo-switch-2-launch-plans/

I think we can expect some bangers for late this year.

And yes, I agree, Astrobot is really good

Looks very cute! I’ll play this for certain together with my daughter

Also fills out Nintendo’s release schedule till June, just in time for their June general direct: i predict Mario in March, Tomodachi life in April, Yoshi in May, rhythm heaven in June, Fire Emblem in July, maybe some switch 2 versions in the mix such as the datamined Pikmin one or a Paper Mario (TTYD remake will be 1 year old soon, and when looking at DK and Xenoblade Chronicles X, both received a switch 2 version ~1 year after release).

@rjejr we just got confirmation of the release date of Yoshi via a trailer. It’s 21st of May.

Reviews got me very interested, though I’m usually not interested in sandbox games. They take up way too much of my time and my backlog is already so big….

@rjejr of course there will be a direct. We indeed know nothing yet about the 2nd year of the switch 2 - after June.

But Nintendo doesnt want to overshadow 3d party releases this time so I think your statement that it’s needed now is not right. So I think they’ll wait till early June. If we get one earlier it’ll be great.

For yoshi, they can easily just do two trailers and a treehouse. I think the first one will release on Mario day.

But hey, it’s Nintendo. We’ll see.

@rjejr There's also Fire Emblem, Mario Wonder Switch 2 edition and two (pretty cool) Switch 1 games. I think they'll make it till June with that so they can return to their original schedule of June, September and February directs.

For instance: Mario in March, Tomodachi life in April, Yoshi in May, rhythm heaven in June, Fire Emblem in July, maybe throw some switch 2 versions in the mix such as the datamined Pikmin one or a Paper Mario (TTYD is 1 year old, and when looking at DK and Xenoblade Chronicles X, both received a switch 2 version ~1 year after release).

There's also quite a lot of big 3d party games that have a release date before July and which they want to promote, such as Monster Hunter Stories 3, Pragmata, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Indiana Jones, indies, perhaps Oblivion.

Could also be that they'll put out an April direct and skip the June one.

Woodo was announced way back in 2021 during a Wholesome Direct, and I’ve always kept an eye on it afterwards.

Great to see it finally getting a release window!

Also, do not sleep on Minishoot Adventures y’all! It’s a-ma-zing. Very good indie direct if I’d say so. 9/10.

After receiving this game as a present:

“I wish this game would have never come to me”

“So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All they have to decide is what to do with the time (red: game) that is given to them.”

@LastFootnote i feel you. But you had translations of AA Chronicles and Investigations: Prosecutors Gambit, though. That’s more than what Viewtiful Joe fans can say!

Capcom is cooking so much great meals in recent years.

@Axecon Shakes hands.

Hi fellow Pokemon Go player. Same here. Some raids, some shiny hunts (mainly tons of furfrou to go).

Good luck!

@Munchlax Wow, spot on! Are you ConcernedApe himself? 🤔

“I just encountered a glitch in Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch Online and would like Nintendo to refund my subscription! “

Man… what levels of ideocracy have we reached as a species…. Demanding left and right. Always demanding more and better

Thousand deaths? Or death by a thousand cuts? The latter is a common saying.

Both. Because I missed these back in the day.

Yes, I’m the problem.

I have so much nostalgia for the European one. First Zelda (actually mentioned that in a comment yesterday)....

Oh, the memories.

That said, I actually like the Japanese box art more so I voted for that one.

Link’s awakening was my first. Loved it every bit!

Then Ocarina of Time on the Gamecube. The collection that you could get for free if you got enough points at my nintendo. Absolutely hooked me to the series.

The first entry I played either on the virtual console on the wii, or on the NES mini. Can’t tell…. And the second one I beat two weeks ago, on NSO. That game is just the first dark souls, liked it quite a bit even though it has flaws!

Nope! Absolutely nope.

Just nope
