@Anti-Matter But isn't this one literally a Style Savvy game, but the Dev dropped the name?

Oh thank god, I was worried it might have too much depth. I wanted to get it for my ex wife, the non gamer. Even the poirot games were too gamey for her.

I don't have a gut feeling, I know for a fact it's going to be utter bobbins

@nhSnork knowing nintendo it's more likely to mean "we kept track of your purchases, so now we know this sucker bought such and such a game on our last system, so we can probably sell it to them again on our new system".

I wonder if Switch 2 will be the generation they realise why everyone else has an achievement system. Better late than never. Actually not in this case, because they'd have to add achievements to thousands of games or have a system where only 1% of games have achievements, rendering it pointless, but that's what you get when you lag 3 generations behind your competition out of pure obstinence. They did the exact same thing with online multiplayer, thinking they were special and above it, and look what happened. They eventually did it anyway, only now they absolutely suck at it because they are generations behind.

This is going to suck giant balls

@EaglyBird but they can buy an assault rifle today. Makes perfect sense.

Sorry, now you're 18 you're going to the pub for a beer with your friend Time Extension, who's... one.

Perfect trailer. I would have hated to have half a clue what the game is like.

It's still really unbelievable, seeing the words Thousand Year Door in the schedule

@Sisilly_G It's not about actual utility, it's about getting a substantial products a tangible item, something somebody took care over. It's about not paying more to get less than we got 30 years ago. There is nothing special anymore about buying a game when it's got "download required" or "premium day one collector's edition for ultra super deluxe suckers" plastered over half the artwork, the inside is just plain white like I printed off the insert myself on an inkjet from 2003, and of course no manual.

@Don At this point I'd settle for having online text guides back, instead of everything being a useless video "walkthrough" (usually just a normal playthrough with no explanation), which you obviously can't search for keywords, and of course we can't forget the million unskippable ads.

Entropy

So something that was standard for decades is now something you have to get separately, for more money, only for one game, and only in Japan. Absolutely pathetic. Feel sorry for kids today, seeing as how everything gets worse with every passing year.

Surprised they're not bundled with Everybody Switch lol

Just think how many graphics the Switch 2 will be capable of. Probably two or maybe even three times as many graphics as the first Switch.

NintendoLife: only parents and toddlers will care about this
Anti-Matter: and I took that personally

Sounds good enough to me. When can we get a Mario game with Wario as the villain or another Wario Land game. Maybe the next Mario movie will have Wario, then we can get some games rushed out to capitalise on it, like with the Peach game etc

@Archfreak
>Guy says racist stuff
>People react accordingly
You: bUtThUrT lol

Yeah, you sure picked the right person to mock in this scenario, what a wise, mature man you are

Kamiya is a huge scumbag and a racist (which he gets a pass for because weebs). Surprisingly, his bigger crime is that his games are utter utter crap that appeal exclusively to 13 year old boys (again, because weebs).

Like Are, I fell in love with the anime (before we even knew it was Japanese lol), which used to be on in the morning before we went to school. Later I read the books and they were a lot like the Winnie the Pooh books which I had already been an enormous fan of for years. The art style for this game looks like a terrific choice. A painterly style by itself can still look overly clean and digital (maybe because we're so used to indie games with this style now), but they've somehow made it look like it's been lifted straight off those musty old pages of the books, which carries the nostalgia of physically holding this world in your hands.

Remember when game consoles came with a game as standard, and one that actually physically exists no less.

Atari Anniversary Celebration sounds amazing, and the kind of thing only games can do with their history. I just hope they do it with a company or series I actually care about next, although being owned by Atari now probably makes that unlikely.

Well we said nintendo games have legs compared to Sony games but it didn't take long to prove out did it lol

@NintendoWife I haven't listened to it since the first five minutes of the first game when I immediately decided to change it to any other language. Does she still sound like Monica's fake British friend in Friends?

Characters?

I hope it's a localisation of DQX. It's always rattles my OCD no end that Final Fantasy has mainline numbered entries that are MMORPGs that I will never play. Dragon Quest doing the same thing but then making an offline version, just for it to be Japanese-only was pure monkey paw energy

Oh no, now I have two reasons not to buy this terf crap

I never played the SNES ones but I loved the two GBC ones, the N64 one, and the GBA one. I'd have preferred a collection with those. But they all had different developers didn't they (from Japan, US, and UK even).

@silberbauer15 No, I'm not, I'm on a UK site

I was over the moon about this until I saw the price lol. Don't have the money for that now, what with Mario, Sonic, Persona 4, and Lil Gator Game.

@HaileySheridon well until there is such a thing as videogame hooliganism, I'm going to disagree and say sports fans are worse

@HaileySheridon wait until you hear about sports

6/10, haven't played it

Any game I can think of, I prefer the graphics of NES originals. The more detailed 16 bit style never appealed to me (even though I love the look of games that were originally 16 bit). Worse yet though is the stuff like the Dragon Quest remasters that look like cheap mobile crap. I don't see why they can't offer the originals alongside the remakes, or better yet included with them.

In this clown ass country you can drink drive and actually kill people in real life and get away with a slap on the wrist and your license handed back on a silver platter like it's a god given right. So I guess it only makes sense to teach kids from a young age that drink driving is no biggie, just make sure you have fun, don't worry about anyone else, even if they are bouncing off your bonnet.

@westman98 True. Also, any hype for Mario probably translates into sales across the whole franchise, and there are a bunch of Mario games on the Switch, even before you get to spin offs. If people were pumped for Mario after seeing the movie they probably already bought one of those other games lol. Whereas Spider-man fans have had the original game and Miles Morales and that's it until now. Still... dem install bases...

That just seems weird given that the switch's install base is nearly 100 million higher than the PS5's. Mario also has a lot wider appeal than Spiderman, I would have thought. And this is coming after the mario movie, which grossed as much as an MCU (and actually outgrossed the Spiderman movies except No Way Home). I can't see this as anything but strange and disappointing. I'd guess Wonder will sell more in the long run as Nintendo games tend to do, but I also wonder (heheh) whether the release of the Switch 2 might cut those sales short, even if it is backwards compatible.

Sonic has a timeline?

@samuelvictor This is the site that gave us HeLlO lOvElY pEeEeEoPlE. I think the death-by-cringe ship has sailed.

@RobynAlecksys yeah ok, everyone knew what it was, it sold brilliantly, and it was a huge success. No debacle there.

@AndroidiOS which site?

@GrailUK I never said it's likely, and even the article admits it's tinfoil hat territory, but it's just a very simple connection to consider, which is why everyone else understood it without needing it spelt out. To call everyone else moronic because YOU can't keep up is pretty ironic.

@GrailUK because when they release a switch 2 reveal video, they don't want people searching for it and having their 7 year old video show up? It's not rocket science, come on man

Can you update the article with the 6/10 from Anti-matter, I feel it should be given the most weight since he really has his finger on the pulse of the average gamer and a lot of people are now going to reconsider picking this up
