I don't know about y'all, but I'm over big game event announcement things. And I went to E3 in 2006 (which was awesome). But now they all feel like soulless cash monstrosities, especially the Summer Games Fest and The Game Awards. I just think it's all BS now.

My real answer is that I would get the regular version on eShop when it goes on sale, but Nintendo games don't go on sale, so I'll never play it

Years ago, I was POSITIVE Tears of the Kingdom was going to be co-op with Zelda

@LUIGITORNADO did you like Breathe of the Wild?

I dropped it at about 20 hours. I don't enjoy myself.

It's interesting playing games from a couple of gens ago that had ads incorporated, and of course they've never been patched. Like Burnout Paradise comes to mind, with billboards advertising stuff from then. It's like a time capsule.

@Chlocean prettttty Patrick!

AAA games, sure. But what about AAAA?

@Coalescence same. I got my PS4 many years after launch. And I finally got a Switch for ToTK, but it's my friend's used launch unit and I had to buy a new dock lol. I don't expect to buy PS5 for several years. Considering my guesses about Nintendo's plans with the Switch 2, I'll wait until they release an exclusive I actually want, like I did with the Switch.

Imo it can't come soon enough because the Switch literally can't run games. If I were to quote the headlines of the last dozen Nintendo Life reviews, probably all of them would reference the poor performance.

100% it's not coming out until next year. And 99% it's not announced until next year either. There's no reason to cannibalize sales from the Switch on it's last holiday.

This is a very interesting one. Totally different marketing strategies.

@Joriss to this looks awesome

@SolBlazer as featured on Cowboy Carter. Seriously though this looks great.

Searching for Little Kitty on the eShop, I found Cat Simulator instead. It was on sale for $2.50 so I thought sure why not. Now that I've played it, I know why not

@BulkSlash oooph, yeah that border was a mistake

@YoshiTails me too plus Bomberman looks badass ready to go

Yep, as suspected, my favorite is the least popular. It's incredible how consistent that is. This was a tough one though.

@heisnbrg that looks cool. Wishlisted.

That reminds me I need to finish the first Valiant Hearts. Thanks Nintendo Life!

Wow. Man, I never know how this is going to go. I'm almost always with the minority, and I'm surprised every time.

Well I'm having the time of my life playing Disney Infinity 3.0 right now, so that I guess lol

Wow, who could have possibly seen this coming

If Nintendo games ever actually went on sale then yes

I just want to finally play Acid

Woah 25 gigs? I'm hoping for a Nintendo Life review, editors, because I am planning on the Switch version if it runs well. Does anyone know if they responded to the modder who said they used his models?

Tomb Raider for GBC?

@LEGEND_MARIOID I'm excited to buy Promenade some day soon. I really liked the demo

I disagree with all of you. This is how Nintendo continues to get away with releasing games of minimal effort. A $50 port of a 20 year-old game that itself probably cost almost nothing to make. People need to hold Nintendo to a higher standard. It's not the game I have a problem with. It's that the game costs $50 when it should cost $20.

It's Wind Waker HD again for me, no question.

I don't do AAA anymore. I play only AAAA games now.

Only played the demo. But from that, my guess would be low.

So the remaster of the original is better than the Wii anniversary version?

Great game. Played it on Stadia when it was an exclusive.

I finished Katana Zero yesterday. I really need to get back to Tchia.

@rjejr oh thanks for reminding me. It was my cloud gaming site. Wrote news and reviews and stuff about Stadia, Luna, Blacknut, etc. I still write stuff on my blog sometimes. https://invisiblestudio.blogspot.com

I played Clash of Heros on my PS3 originally too haha. Then I got it on Steam. Then I bought the cartridge for DS used at a games store. Then I got it in Switch haha. It's one of the very very few games I've completed more than once. But still only, like, twice total.

@rjejr this is my favorite response. Completely accurate. AND you recommended Clash of Heroes, which is one of my favorite games of all time. Let's be friends

Very disappointed. I imagine the difficulty ramps up eventually, but I'm not sure I'd like the game much more even when it becomes more challenging. You know what IS an excellent game? Donkey Kong Jr. in Game and Watch Gallery 3.

@drspaceman0 loved Grimrock. Excellent game.

I'm not sure what you've missed or didn't miss, but I just discovered Astalon from the demo and it's incredible

@fluggy gasp! I totally forgot! Incredible game.

@NicolausCamp it's incredible. Perfect, in my opinion. I invented my own challenge of "ghost" mode: complete the game without a single enemy being cautioned and investigating at all. It's hard lol.

@BloodNinja dude you're tripping. Mark of the Ninja is exceptional in every regard. It's a perfect game. Metal Gear is not only one of the greatest game series ever, and one of the greatest stealth series, but one of the greatest works of human art period. The Switch is missing Chaos Theory and Sly Cooper and Assassin's Creed 1, and that's about it.

@Spider-Kev I second this question

Mark of the Ninja is one of the freaking best games ever made. Snake Eater is literally the best game ever made.

@Max_the_German the frickin' Vita had an OLED screen. That was 13 years ago. There's been an entire generation of alphas born in the meantime.

Well dang, that's the opposite of what I was hoping for. I am very much not a handheld mode player. It's already too heavy and super uncomfortable. The Lite is much better, but it can't plug into a TV, so I've gotta own two and mess with cloud saves to use the Switch how it's actually intended. With the 3DS history, this seems obvious in retrospect.

Good article. Lots of practical information.

I think the risk of Nintendo waiting longer is their customers switching to PlayStation or Xbox to update their hardware to modern standards.

@LEGEND_MARIOID a year ago, I would have sworn Switch 2 was launching this past November.
