The twist is all of the characters are on jet skis. It's Mario Wave Race!

Wear is not the issue. I bought new joy-con that drifted from Day 1.

I read the title of this article to mean that it has been ten years of almost watching Nintendo Directs. Maybe it's time to actually watch one...

Looks intriguing. I'll put that on my watchlist.

@arnoldfranklin I second the motion; I absolutely loved Major Havoc.

This looks intriguing. I'll be watching for this one.

@FoxMcCloud @TYRANACLES I had gotten stuck in the same place. I found a walkthrough online that helped; I'll actually be able to finish the game now.

Should we concerned that the game features glitches?

After four years, my right joy-con started drifting hard to the right. I was fighting it constantly. This article helped: https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/how-to-fix-a-drifting-nintendo-switch-joy-con-analog-stick. Recalibrating helps short-term but I just got some contact cleaner.

In the screenshots, it looks like the mummy's hand is holding the Glaive from Krull (but it seems to be missing a blade).

The built-in kickstand of the original Switch had design flaws: it was flimsy and often popped off, the Switch leaned to one side when used, and it exposed your SD card. I found a plastic stand that folds flat for easy storage at Five Below a few years back. It's a $5 fix!

This looks good. That reminds me: what happened to Curse of the Sea Rats?

Which Switch is right for me? The one I already have; I can't afford another one. I'm glad I'm not missing out on a new Metroid/Zelda/Mario game that's only available on an upgraded model. I still think this should have been the version that launched, though.

@Scrubicius It's nice to know that I'm not the only one thinking it won't stay that white.

I'd like to play a Star Fox game without gimmicks. Also preferably not another remake of Star Fox 64.

I chuckled at the Aladdin reference.

I still need to play the first one; I bought the Switch version during a sale but I'm working through the backlog (currently playing Axiom Verge). I'll have time to wait for a sale on the sequel

Does anyone recommend the Telltale Batman games? Each one is currently on sale for $6 and the Shadows mode is on sale for $1.59.

Which game could you play as Darth Maul?

I'll wait for the inevitable Black Friday or Mario Day sale.

Nintendo stabilized the destabilizing stability update?

Wayforward is known for animated style games. Have they ever made a game with this polygonal art style before?

Translation: "I can neither confirm nor deny those rumors."

That looks interesting. I'd wait for a review and a sale, but I'm interested.

@TakoSamurai $80 for AAA games in the future doesn't sound farfetched when PS5 games are selling for $70 now.

As to the matter at hand: if a remake of Link's Awakening sells for $60, why wouldn't an original Metroid game be full price?

Remembering the console wars of the 90's, I marvel at how I can now play Mario, Sonic, and Crash Bandicoot games on my Nintendo system.

I get this error but if I click on Continue enough times, the game downloads. It's like I wear the Switch down.

Switch: Download error
Me: The error isn't real; download it
Switch: No
Me: Download it
Switch: No
Me: Do it!
Switch: Okay

How long before we see a screenshot or preview of Metroid Prime 4?

I got the PS4 version for $5 (it was a Best Buy Deal of the Day), but haven't tried it yet. I will not be double-dipping.

They went with this art style so nobody would accuse them of copying Wargroove.

Metroid alone made this Direct an A for me. Advance Wars and Cruis'n Blast were really nice surprises.

This game made E3 for me. It looks fantastic!

Classic Revival could be used for so many games yet, sadly, will probably remain open.

Edit: I admit I was wrong. Who saw Advance Wars coming? Surprisingly, Cruis'n Blast was leaked but true.

@AtlanteanMan I feel your pain.

There are some amazing GBG builds already!

I just know that if I tried to make something, it would be the game equivalent of a stick figure doodle.

Do you remember the Peanuts comic strip where Charlie Brown tries to kick the football? As a Metroid fan, I feel like Charlie Brown and Nintendo is standing in for Lucy ("we promise not to pull it away this time"). Also, it's not easy being a fan of F-Zero, Wave Race, and Star Fox. It's a good thing I like Zelda.

I want to get physical versions of Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Contra Anniversary Collection, Axiom Verge 2, and River City Girls 2. What I can afford, however....

Once you read a review for one of these games, it's too late. There have been several great games I hadn't even heard of until seeing a review on Nintendo Life. I won't buy from scalpers; I'd rather go without.

@moodycat While we're waiting for Metroid Prime 4 and asking for Metroid Prime Trilogy, Nintendo shadow drops Other M 2. It'd be totally ironic if it was actually good.

@Jmjfrank I liked The Last Story more than Xenoblade Chronicles. A Switch remaster would be welcome.

I would also request Little King's Story for Switch.

I don't need to watch this, right? Nintendo Life will post the videos for Switch releases, right?

Up to 50%. So the only game that'll be half price is the game you really don't want, right? The games you really want will be 20% off at best.

Last Stop looks intriguing.

You had me at Flower.

@kingbk I would definitely buy a Simpsons/X-Men game pack.

I wonder why this article is on Nintendo Life if it isn't being ported to a Nintendo system.

@LaytonPuzzle27 That's intriguing; Rear Window came to mind for me, as a point-and-click adventure game.

I'll check it out, but this reminds me that I would like a Geometry Wars game on Switch.

@MontyCircus That's a really good point. I had already decided that, if I bought this game, I'd buy the physical version to get the original game.

This review gives an 8 (Great) but IGN gave a 5 (Mediocre). Who do I believe?

@CactusMan Beyond Good and Evil HD was on PS3, so it should be able to run on Switch.

I would really like to see a new Rayman game for Switch, even if Michel Ancel is sadly no longer involved.
