The crazy thing is, I loved No Man’s Sky when it was new and basically stopped playing after the first big update. Maybe I missed out, but it was very much exactly what I wanted at launch.
Too much complaining about this version of the game. Other than a few minor hangups, it plays fine and doesn't hinder anyone from enjoying it or beating it. Save rooms are plentiful and always close by so just save often and don't even worry about losing data.
It's just too bad none of them are comfortable to hold in adult hands. I still want to know what happened to the Hori Split Pad Pro Daemon X Machina Edition joy cons. They are "unavailable" everywhere online included the Hori site.
I just want Joy Cons large enough for adult hands. It’s nearly crippling to play my Switch in handheld mode. Also, did those Hori Daemon X Machina pro joy cons get cancelled? They aren’t up for pre-order anymore.
I’ve always wanted to give turn-based RPGs a shot, but it seems like there isn’t a very good starting point to learn how to actually play them. I’m talking about a game that teaches you the ins-and-outs of how and why the games work like they do. I tried Earthbound a few years ago but ended up just using “auto” but because a lot of it just didn’t make much sense to someone who basically exclusively played action RPGs and platformers while growing up (30+ years ago).
Level uploading is one place I could see “micro transactions” actually being useful. Nintendo could just sell packs of uploads for a few bucks. 5 or 10 uploads for $1.00 or something like that. People waste money on $0.99 apps for their phones all day long, so charging a buck for the ability to curate your creation isn’t asking much.
I’m 100% in on this! I have no idea how a game similar to Actraiser has never been made ...or Actraiser 3 for that fact. The original is simply one of the best games I’ve ever played.
My apologies in advance...I only have time for a brief scan of the article but I was wondering if there will be a physical release of this in North America.
@DoomPlague as much as I want to agree with you, I have a terrible fear that Nintendo would somehow think everyone wants a vibrant, colorful, cell-shaded Castlevania. I love the big N, but dark and gritty aren’t their style.
Man, that early 3D era did no age well. After 20+ years of dinking and dunking around, I think I should try to finally finish Earthbound. I've still never seen the ending and probably only ever made it just over half way though.
Considering my Amiibo collection is basically inconveniently large, I'm fine with any game that has or doesn't have Amiibo support. Honestly, I don't even use them anymore because it just takes too much time to find the one I'm looking for since I can't display the massive collection at all times. For those who have a few, I feel for you not getting the support you want up front. There is always the chance it gets patched in later, but let's just enjoy the game on its own merits and not something we wish it had.
I too, for my own sake, hope the Amiibo line comes to an end soon. I have an entire collection and I'm just about ready to sell the whole thing off. The line has become overwhelmingly large.
Strangely enough, the first game in the series is the one I enjoyed the most. I know the sequel gets flack and the 3rd is considered the best, but something about the original just does it for me. Resident Evil is the same way.
Now, if only Tecmo would give us a HD release of Ninja Gaiden Black (or Sigma).
@KennyBania How, exactly, are you playing Game Gear games on the Analogue Mega SG? I haven't seen any info about the adapters they are supposed to be releasing in 2019. Did I miss the announcement or something?
It's quite simple: If it's $60 and you're willing to pay $60, then buy it if you like. If it's $60 and you're not willing to pay $60, then don't buy it.
@Apollocreed I have a simple five step process to solve your issues. 1.) take a deep breath 2.) go back and read this entire thread 3.) realize that you seem to be the only one in this particular thread making the points you are trying to make rather than generalizing for the millions of other Switch users. 4.) understand that your only posts on NintendoLife are on this single thread. 5.) stop trolling this group
I want a swappable cover that says Out Of This World so it displays more like I remember my North American copies from my childhood. Another World has never been the real name for me (even though Out Of This World was the oddity).
I have never played a Pokémon game, so all of the comments filled with name drops of the characters are cracking me up! From the outside looking in it’s like this conversation is in a different language. 😂

Re: Rewind Feature And Two NES Games Are Coming To Nintendo Switch Online In July
Since Sol Seraph is apparently underwhelming, now would be a great time to drop Actraiser and some other SNES classics into Switch Online.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Switch Fix Targeting A Mid-July Release
The input lag on jumping is the only real issue I have with the game. The rest of the stuff I’ve had problems with are more annoyances than anything.
Now, what should I do with the 700,000 gold I have in the game?

Re: Talking Point: The Changing Definition Of ‘The Nintendo Difference’
The fact that I don't care about online play and Nintendo doesn't prioritize it is a huge reason (unintentionally so) that I adore the big N so much.
