I eagerly await my physical edition pre-ordered from Amazon. These are new games to me; I never had a GBA. I've heard great things about this series for decades. I'm really looking forward to finding out for myself. Plus, WayForward has a good track record (look at what they did with the Mummy tie-in).
I have never played a Phoenix Wright game, so I just got the original trilogy on 3DS for $3. That's a great deal, especially since the same trilogy is $15 on the Switch.
My Amazon preorder has been delayed to April 3. I can wait; I don't have much time to play right now. Plus, my Switch's internal memory and SD cards are maxed out, so I'm not tempted to buy the digital version. 😉
@glennjohn22 I did the same thing. As soon as I saw the article on NL about the Gulikit joysticks, I bought a repair kit with two sets of joysticks, watched some YouTube videos, and replaced both sets of my original release joy-cons. I haven't had a problem since. I constantly battled drift previously. Games are enjoyable again!
I DIY'd it! I ordered the kit wth two pairs of Gulikit joysticks, found instructional videos on YouTube (big thanks to iFixit and Joe Bleeps), and fixed both sets of joy-con. Drift begone!
I have two sets of joy-cons from the 2017 original release. Both sets are drifting so badly, I am considering doing this. The drift is a constant battle.
Thank you, @WhiteUmbrella for that explanation. I found that to be very helpful.
I guess the promotion worked; I decided that I am highly unlikely to be the first person to enter the code and bought Pad of Time for $3.19 on the Switch eshop.

Re: Best Indiana Jones Games On Nintendo Platforms
I bought The Staff of Kings because it came with The Fate of Atlantis.

Re: Video: 10 Exciting Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In April 2023
I eagerly await my preorder of Advance Wars.
I hope Tron: Identity gets reviewed.
Is there a reason Curse of the Sea Rats isn't listed here? I think the release date is this week.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th March (North America)
Lunark for me. I loved 90's cinematic platformers Flashback and Another World/Out of This World.
Re: Random: Fan Art For The Closed 3DS & Wii U eShops Is A Thing, And It's Lovely
Maybe the shopping bag character can find a new home on the Switch ehop...and bring some music...
Re: Countdown: Here's A Recap Of Every 3DS & Wii U eShop Game We've Highlighted In The Last Month
Thanks for the recommendations, NL. I got a few of them while I could.
Re: Best Deals And Cheapest Games In The 3DS & Wii U eShop Sales
I have never played a Phoenix Wright game, so I just got the original trilogy on 3DS for $3. That's a great deal, especially since the same trilogy is $15 on the Switch.
Re: AK-xolotl Boasts Cute Visuals And Fast-Paced Bullet Hell Action
This reminds me of Blazing Beaks, which I've really enjoyed. I'll probably get this eventually.
Re: Shovel Knight Dig 'Fate And Fortune' Free DLC Update Announced
@drewber2635 Yes; Black Knight was in the original Shovel Knight game (now known as Shovel of Hope).
Re: Shovel Knight Dig 'Fate And Fortune' Free DLC Update Announced
I love this game. Free additional content is great news.
BTW, Pocket Dungeon got boring for me pretty quickly, but I keep going back to Dig for "one more run" if that helps anyone.
Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2
The article mentions this occasionally goes on sale, but there isn't much time to wait for a sale...
Re: Lunark Brings Gorgeous Flashback-Inspired Cinematic Platforming To Switch This Month
This is exciting news. I loved Out of This World/Another World and Flashback. I can see the Flashback influence. It's a Flashback flashback!
Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Release
Nintendo to the general public: "We will restock the supply shortly; avoid the scalpers."
Nintendo to scalpers: "Thank you for your contribution."

Re: Meg's Monster Is A Retro-Style Turn-Based RPG Where You Can't Let The Little Girl Cry
Intriguing premise. I'd need to see a review before buying, though.
Re: Derezz And Detect In Bithell Games' TRON: Identity, Out On Switch In April
@GMACPLAYS That's a pleasant surprise!
Re: Derezz And Detect In Bithell Games' TRON: Identity, Out On Switch In April
I am very interested. I liked both Tron movies and was disappointed that the third movie was cancelled. A story-based Tron game sounds good to me.
Re: PixelJunk Scrappers Deluxe Will Clean Up On Switch This Year
@Agnot That was my reaction as well. I would vote for PJ Shooter Ultimate because it contains both PJ Shooter games.
Re: Video: Metroid Prime Remastered - Switch Vs. GameCube Comparison
You had me at Metroid, but now I'm really sold. I preordered a physical copy yesterday.
Re: Where To Buy Metroid Prime Remastered On Switch
I will gladly wait two weeks for a physical copy at no extra charge.
Re: Nintendo Wins "Switch Joy-Con Drift" Class Action Lawsuit
@glennjohn22 I did the same thing.

I need to make sure I have Wario Land 4 on my Wii U before it's too late. We need a new Wario Land game on Switch.
Antonblast looks fun, too.
Re: Here's When The Super Mario Bros. Movie Releases In Cinemas In Your Region

Re: Gulikit's 'Hall Joystick' Promises To Eliminate Drifing For Your Switch Joy-Con
I DIY'd it! I ordered the kit wth two pairs of Gulikit joysticks, found instructional videos on YouTube (big thanks to iFixit and Joe Bleeps), and fixed both sets of joy-con. Drift begone!
Re: Bayonetta Meets Ori In Upcoming Action Adventure Game 'Strayed Lights'
Looks good. I look forward to a review before committing.
Re: Caverns Of Mars Is The Latest Atari Game To Get The 'Recharged' Treatment
@joey302 I would vote for a Midway collection, which would include some Atari gems (such as Gauntlet and Paperboy).

Re: Fashion Police Squad Stitches Fabulous February Release Date On Switch
In the video, one of the weapons appears to be a gnome. This game looks weird in a fun way.
Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?
I still fire up my 3DS occasionally so, no, the Switch does not seem old to me.
In my day, all we had were Asteroids, Space Invaders, and Donkey Kong and we were impressed...
I seem old to me....
Re: Gripper Is The Akira-Inspired Boss Rush We've Always Wanted, And It Looks Incredible

Re: Sail Forth Brings Wind Waker-Style Sailing And Pirate Mysteries To Switch Today
@ketrac Agreed.
Re: Sail Forth Brings Wind Waker-Style Sailing And Pirate Mysteries To Switch Today
This just reminded me that there was an animated TV series in the 90's called The Pirates of Dark Water.
Re: Nintendo's 5-Day Holiday Event Continues, More Indie Game News And Switch eShop Shadow Drops
Will Nintendo Life review The Captain and/or The Punchuin?
Re: No Gravity Games Is Handing Out 12 Free Switch Games This Month (North America)

Re: DC's Justice League: Cosmic Chaos Flies Onto Switch Next Year
The art style does not have to be cutesy to be family friendly.
Re: Paper Mario-Inspired RPG 'Flynt Buckler Wakes The Sleepy Castle' Smashes Funding Goal
That's good news! I'm getting 1930's cartoon vibes from the art style.
