@Aswannsong Kirby 3 is the bomb, yo
Sincerely, a 50 year old gamer.

Funny thing, I preordered in August. Then I played the demo and hated it. HATED IT. So I went to cancel my preorder and found that I couldn’t - I was locked in. So I guess I’m getting it :/

I only wish there were more actual wooden BLOCKS. You can’t build much with what they give you.

I love Baroque! Can’t wait for this! The inclusion of the formerly exclusive PC SHMUP spinoff is the real cherry on top!

I have had the NebulasRay soundtrack CD for years and years but never got to play the game until this release. I was surprised that the voice samples in the game were so crunchy and compressed, because they’re pretty clear on the soundtrack release.

I don’t know anyone who seriously believes that Nintendo would allow enough supply to meet demand, even if they readily had it. They are the masters or artificial scarcity, gleefully limiting market availability and allowing scalpers to buy as much of whatever they want to create demand.

As a proper Neo Geo owner, I have to say that’s quite the odd mix!

@Nintendemon I never said that racism was a joke. What I meant was in physical sports, players often hurl the most horrible, nasty, offensive, ugly thing at each other but the game goes on. I can’t recall a professional sporting event, other than e-sports, where a winner has been stripped because of something somebody said.

Can you imagine what it would be like in real sports if someone said something that offended someone and so their team was stripped of a World Cup, Super Bowl, World Series win, etc?

“We can’t let these guys win, one of them is a jerk!”

Is this what passes for all ages news on Nintendo Life now? Seems a bit... NSFW... for the general audience?

Wow, this looks terrible.

You do know that film, which is what the original Super Mario Movie was captured on, far exceeds 4K resolution. 4K look good on your TV or monitor, but when blown up to movie screen size... in fact, I'm scratching my head wondering if I've ever heard of a 4K theatrical re-release before, and this might be the first (for me, at least).

Looks like to was designed to sell Pokemon cards to kids. Oh, wait.

@YoshiF2 yes! I am hugging you from across the internet. What you said, absolutely.

No Rampage Edition, no deal.

I assume you're saying 2nd Story was best because you never played the original Super Famicom Star Ocean.

It's a controller, you shouldn't have to be lucky enough to be able to able to purchase one.

@demacho dude, have a Snickers. I collect game soundtrack CDs so I would have loved to have added her CD to my collection.

@N00BiSH a CD release. CDs might have gone out of vogue in the west, but they're still the norm in Japan.

Digital only. Booooooo!

@SailorCallisto look, there's a better way for me to explain this. Nintendo of Japan is paying of the game and it's manufacture. They are a Japanese company, this they pay in yen. The dollar is stronger than the yen. Therefore Nintendo will make more money from selling a game for 70 dollars in the US than they will selling a 7000 yen game in Japan.

Only 100 yen is not the Japanese equivalent to $1. It's apples to oranges unless you have a currency conversion. Using your logic, in China 100 yuan must be the equivalent of $1... In India 100 rupees must be the equivalent of $1. 100 yen is just 100 yen. You're talking about the buying power of local currency in the common market which is not equivalent. 7900 yen cannot feel like dollars to someone who has only used yen.

I think what you're trying to say is that the ¥7980 price in Japan feels like $80 to YOU. However, it feels like a tad over $60 to me.

@SailorCallisto I guess you missed the part where I said that I live (and thus work) in Japan?

@SailorCallisto I also live in Japan. Exchange rate is currently 131.53 yen to the dollar. That make the game $60.68 in Japan.

Wow, so it's cheaper in Japan. Just goes to show who Nintendo sees as their cash cow now. Westerners. Mooooooooo

I had US customs rip the disk drive tray out of a Panasonic GameCube one. Completely destroyed it. Then the jammed they tray back in the machine (detached), taped out the box, and sent it along to me. This was in 2014.

Yes, please. Plus a re-release of the original.

I fell like Nintendo put all their eggs in the "we'll let users create their own content so we don't have to!" basket in Horizons. As a player once I got my city the way I wanted it, that was that. I didn't want to terraform and redesign every month or so, I wanted a good, familiar town.

To me, Horizons borrowed more DNA from Happy Home Academy than from New Leaf. I much preferred New Leaf.

I've lived in Japan for 15 years and I've never heard of COMG! so I looked them up. There are 12 total stores in Japan, all on the west coast. They're considered a cell phone store. I'd be much more interested in pre-order numbers from Bic Camera, Geo, or a place the Japanese public associate as a place to preorder games. Places that exist where a majority of the population lives.

"Not next gen..."

Spec-wise it's not even LAST gen!

@Vyacheslav333 Well, they only ever made 2 Breakers games, so...

So she was Video Girl Ai, then.

@johnvboy Having said that, though, I still play every day

@johnvboy The disconnects, the matcmaking issues. I live in Japan and play in that region in Splatoon 3. My wife, who does NOT play games, was commenting to me how just the other day that the topic of issues with Splatoon 3 was trending on Twitter in Japan. Couple that with places like GameFaqs whose Splatoon 3 Salt thread reached the maximum allowable post count in record time speaks to the game having issues.

Shame it's so broken.

@Magician so a Steam Deck, then.

It's disappointing to me that Analogue machines went from a way to experience the original (cartridge) games as accurately as possible on modern televisions to just another way for people to illegally play downloaded ROMs.

Good ol' rock. Nothing beats rock.

You mean like they did with Animal Crossing?

I have one. Live in Japan and got it release day. I have had no issues playing on the tiny screen or on my 75" Sony TV via HDMI. I'm going to chalk this report into the bin, lunked together with those "if it's not 60FPS then it's unplayable" people.

Once again, hooked to my TV via HDMI, playing with the Astro Pad. Thoroughly enjoyable, very, very happy I bought it.

This is the dual edged sword of having a popular system with ecchi games. In the past, systems with truly adult games (Saturn, 3DO, etc) were not the leading systems. Leading systems were more mainstream. That's why they were market leaders.

On an oddly related note, I never understood why Xbox didn't embrace adult content for Japan. Boatloads of adult PC content on a console that's easy to port PC games to PLUS a built in user base you could attract = win. Nintendo doesn't have this issue at this point.

1983 Coleco Donkey Kong, Jr. tabletop LED game.

>It offers fun for kids and collectors ages 3 and up, >and also includes 20+ iconic sounds and music, to >make it just like a real Yoshi.

Real Yoshi's have music??? That must be why they taste so good!

The only thing Nintendo cares about is that somebody buys them.

Shame it's download only. I think the price they're asking is pretty high considering it's only half the series (not even - Cosmic Fantasy 4 spans 2 separate games).

What about Sega Saturn to Dreamca... oh, wait.

Anyone going to point out that the cute demon is a blatant rip-off of the baby from the 90's TV show Dinosaurs? Like, 100% litigation ripoff considering Disney owns the rights.

Taito, makers of the racing game Ray Tracers (1997) would like to have a word with this developer.

My wife saw these at the Nintendo Store in Tokyo and came running with a set to show me. Then she looked at the price, turned white, and put them back... carefully.

This game looks super tasty, but I pause when I hear Strictly Limited. I'm still waiting for them to ship oders I placed in 2020
