The only time dual Gamepad use was mentioned (to my knowledge) was if you were selecting plays in Madden ‘13 so it wouldn’t display on the TV like it normally does. But like Reggie said, not a big enough install base plus I’m sure I’m one of the very few who bought the game.
After the positive reception for Contra 4, I don’t get why they just couldn’t make another one. Ah well. This “Contra-inspired” game looks like fun. Hopefully Shantae and Risky Boots are playable characters. 😎
So wait a minute is Nintendo Life just now realizing this is coming soon? I saw this on eShop weeks ago. I’m glad there’s a Senran Kagura game on Switch that’s not a gimmick for a very limited audience.
I tried it. Didn’t like it initially. I’ll try again later. Wish they were on the Home Screen like on the Wii U. But it’s nice to put the NSO systems in a group called ‘Virtual Console’ 😎
And the sentence mentioning backlogs…ouch. So painful because it’s true.
The score is accurate for what this version doesn’t and/or won’t have in the long run. Makes you wonder what Nintendo is doing with their online network if it’s going to (eventually) close off the Wii U and 3DS completely…🤔
I really enjoy this game from the PS3, and can’t wait to play it on the go.
Can’t confirm or deny that I smiled like a kid ear-to-ear when this was announced (I was 😀). With this as well as the TMNT game from Dotemu, 2022 is off to a strong showing so far IMO.
Looks more like a protege, intern, or a relative to me. Also I can never forget about Bowsette; she was so popular I thought she would’ve been in SSBU as a Spirit at least.
I’m loving this. Profile pic shows who I’ll main; Now if only we could get the mainline Personas (4 & 5 at least) ported to Switch as well that’ll be even better.
Just now getting to really play this after Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and I’m digging it. Retro-inspired JRPG with a cool and sassy protagonist is something I can get behind. I like how you can level up your stats to your liking and also the option to reset them at any time. I would give this an 8/10.
Looks good. Definitely will add to my Wish List, but can the Switch version of Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds: Overdrive get online multiplayer now? Kinda the reason I bought it in the first place…
Anyway it’s cool to have Trina Nishimura reprise her iconic role as Makise Kurisu.
@NintendoJunkie Agreed. I figured they could’ve done just that but SoRR was before Sonic Mania, which is a fan made game turned into an official release.
@Chibi_Manny I assumed they would utilize the sprite work from BBTAG, not the Shantae engine. It’s not bad per se, just unexpected. Makes me wonder what ASW contributed and how.
I already have Grimm Eclipse and I’ll get this next year too.
No buy from me. They’re treating it like a DS and/or 3DS but without the slight modifications to justify a purchase for older Switch owners. OLED is nice (Vita guy here) but I was expecting more from Nintendo a little bit. Looks nice though…

Looking forward to Skullgirls!

Never forgotten with yours truly. I do hope SOMETHING gets done with this franchise, be it HD remaster or a 4th entry on the Switch.

Re: Sword Of The Vagrant Launches On Switch This June
Looks like Child of Light but a hack-and-slash.
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
I saw both Golden Sun GBA games so I’m happy if it’s actually announced.
Re: Crossover Hack & Slash Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars Is Getting A Switch Release

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Three More Titles
I booted Earthworm Jim 2 just to hear the title screen music 😆. Still a classic.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Getting A Child Of Light Crossover, For Some Reason
I love Child of Light. This came out of left field for sure but it sounds interesting.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Finally Gave Us Switch Folders, In A Very Nintendo Way

I really enjoy this game from the PS3, and can’t wait to play it on the go.

Phantom Breaker: Omnia this week, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax next week for yours truly.

Re: Random: Forget Bowsette, 2022 Is The Year Of 'Eggma'am'
Looks more like a protege, intern, or a relative to me. Also I can never forget about Bowsette; she was so popular I thought she would’ve been in SSBU as a Spirit at least.
Re: PSA: You Might Have To Clear Up Some Space To Play Persona 4 Arena Ultimax On Switch
@Neoicelord Exactly. 1TB gets cheaper as time moves on too.
Re: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Won't Be Getting An Important Online Upgrade On Switch
Rollback or not, I’ll still be playing this online with my fast wired connection. Profile picture is of my main guy after all.
Re: Poll: Do You Have An Issue With Xenoblade Chronicles' Accents?
Technically 4th in the series but anyway, it’s fine to me no matter what accents are used since gameplay is my only concern.
Re: Good Smile Company Releasing Fire Emblem: Three Houses Byleth Figure, Pre-Orders Are Now Live
@Nf157 LOL. It’s just like the SSBU reveal; male Byleth gets booed and the waifu is accepted.
Re: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Gets New 'Fight' Trailer Ahead Of Upcoming Switch Launch

Re: Random: Introducing The Tiger Boy Advance - A GBA Inside A Tiger Electronics Handheld System
Is it weird to want a Tiger handheld in 2022? LOL
Re: The Team Behind Bravely Default And Triangle Strategy Will Announce "Multiple" Games This Year
Octopath Traveler sequel hopefully.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For January And February 2022
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is $30; great news for me.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate Nintendo's 2021?
10/10 thanks to Pyra/Mythra being added to Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
Re: 2D Anime Fighter 'Phantom Breaker: Omnia' Locks In A March 2022 Release
Cool. Can’t wait. Still waiting for the update for online multiplayer in Battle Grounds: Overdrive (which unfortunately may not happen).
Re: River City Girls Zero Has Been Delayed Until "Early 2022"
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again: It’s WayForward so it’s all good. They produce quality on the regular.
Re: Rumour: Persona 3 Portable Is Supposedly Getting A "Multiplatform" Remaster
Like others mentioned I’ll believe it when I see it. ‘Til then I’ll keep playing it on my Vita. Hope it comes true though…
Re: Review: Paper Mario - A Well-Crafted Creation That Stands Up Beautifully
@valcoholic The N64 original is definitely worth checking out. TTYD just refined everything from this game; I think you’ll like it.
Re: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Brings The Fight To Nintendo Switch Next Year
I’m loving this. Profile pic shows who I’ll main; Now if only we could get the mainline Personas (4 & 5 at least) ported to Switch as well that’ll be even better.
Re: Shantae And The Seven Sirens Is Getting A Free “Spectacular Superstar” Update Later This Month
Sounds like a similar update for Half Genie Hero. More content, more reasons to play again.
Re: Review: Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition - A Gorgeous Love Letter To JRPGs Which Just Falls Short
Just now getting to really play this after Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and I’m digging it. Retro-inspired JRPG with a cool and sassy protagonist is something I can get behind. I like how you can level up your stats to your liking and also the option to reset them at any time. I would give this an 8/10.
Re: Oh No, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Has Been Delayed On Switch
I’m fine with any delay from WayForward. More time to work their magic.
Re: Action RPG 'Date-Em-Up' MAGLAM LORD Hits The West Early Next Year
Character art looks cool; not a fan of the chibi look gameplay-wise but I hope there’s more to it than that.
Re: 2D Anime Fighter 'Phantom Breaker: Omnia' Gets An English Dub Trailer
Looks good. Definitely will add to my Wish List, but can the Switch version of Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds: Overdrive get online multiplayer now? Kinda the reason I bought it in the first place…
Anyway it’s cool to have Trina Nishimura reprise her iconic role as Makise Kurisu.
Re: How A Tragic Murder Inspired The Epic Retelling Of GBA Classic Golden Sun
@Saturos1 Nice profile picture and I agree. Maybe if there’s a GBA section for NN subscribers added one day more people will get to enjoy the series.
Re: GoldenEye 007 Speedrunner Grabs A New Record With A Sneaky Trick
That image had me clamoring for an HD port; this is interesting in its own right though.
Re: Grand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogy Reportedly Heading To Switch
Very “decent” huh? Chinatown Wars was a lot of fun IMO.
Re: Feature: The History Of Streets Of Rage
@NintendoJunkie Agreed. I figured they could’ve done just that but SoRR was before Sonic Mania, which is a fan made game turned into an official release.
Re: Feature: The History Of Streets Of Rage
Not even one sentence to mention Bomberman Games’ Streets of Rage ReMake, even though other fan made projects get highlighted…🤔
Other than that, great article! This genre will always have a place in my gaming library, on any system, and I look forward to what comes next.
Re: Random: An Eager 3DS StreetPass Fan Spent A Day In New York, Got Zero Hits
@Sev_07 LOL lucky.
Re: Random: An Eager 3DS StreetPass Fan Spent A Day In New York, Got Zero Hits
Ooh yeah. I brought mine to a Comic-Con I was working at thinking I’d have at least 10 hits but I ended up with none. It’s just how it is nowadays.
Re: Rumour: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax To Be Remastered For "Modern Platforms"
I’ve been wanting P4AU on PS4 and/or Switch, so I hope this rumor is true. More fighting games on Switch is never a bad thing.
Re: WayForward Brings RWBY: Arrowfell To Nintendo Switch In 2022
@Chibi_Manny I assumed they would utilize the sprite work from BBTAG, not the Shantae engine. It’s not bad per se, just unexpected. Makes me wonder what ASW contributed and how.
I already have Grimm Eclipse and I’ll get this next year too.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Developer Monolith Soft Reports Huge Profits, Up By 138.2%
@N8tiveT3ch LOL I’m expecting that to be ported over too. I figure it’s only a matter of time.
Re: Nintendo Employee Tells Fans To Stick With The Current Switch, If They're Not "Digging" The OLED Screen
No buy from me. They’re treating it like a DS and/or 3DS but without the slight modifications to justify a purchase for older Switch owners. OLED is nice (Vita guy here) but I was expecting more from Nintendo a little bit. Looks nice though…
Re: Yep, The Wii U Gets A New Game In July
@Sunsy Like the Vita. This looks more like the top down levels in Contra to me, which is a good thing.
Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Sonic Game?
No option for S3&K? As in combined for the full game…? Well I guess voting separately will do.
Re: Tekken's Kazuya Gets Added To The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Mural
