@JTMnM I hope so, I still have my N3DS and still play it regularly, but I’d love to see the old Pokemon games on Switch. I’m really enjoying playing Gold again, I just wish I have someone to trade with to evolve certain Pokemon. I’m hoping my Bro will get Silver soon so I can do that.
Why has this still not been given a score? You said a few days. It’s now totally clear that 2K have asked you to hold off a score. It’s ridiculous to not give a game a score because it’s a broken mess. The job of a reviewer is to review games as they are whilst reviewing them, not a few months down the road... 2K already got a low scoring review taken down, only for it to be put back up after a public backlash, so it’s clear what’s going on here, Nintendo Life don’t want to be black listed.
@Fake-E-Lee Maybe It’s one of those games I need to actually play to get a true reflection of what it’s like to play. You either worked on the game or a good salesman, as you’re making me want to play it now lol😉
@Fake-E-Lee The graphics doesn’t bother me, I like retro style games. But from all the videos I’ve watched it hasn’t excited me, I’ll probably end up getting it at some point though 🙂
@MartyFlanMJFan Yea it is very strange. I’m taking a massive gamble, as I could just get the PC version. I decided to just stick with the Switch version, crossing my fingers they haven’t messed it up though.
Still don’t get not giving games a score until they maybe fix them. The developers thought it was ok to release it, so it’s right to give it a review as it is, otherwise it seems very biased. This is the only site I’ve visited that won’t give a final review score if the game is broken and a patch is promised...
@Mart1ndo Uh it’s not, you don’t get to tell me what to do with my money. I have a NES mini and have only played it three times since getting it. I still have a working SNES anyway, so it was more the novelty factor 😉
I actually just cancelled my pre order. After the initial excitement of owning one I’m just not sure how much I’ll play it. I’ll just wait until VC on Switch.
No Sony, the Vita wasn’t a huge success because you failed and then abandoned it because you were too lazy to support it. 3DS has huge numbers, so stop spouting BS
@mauroh Never heard of this guy until now, wow what a disgusting human being he is. After reading all that, I’m surprised a site like this would promote a guy like that....
@daveh30 It’s already been confirmed it’s a separate optional download. If like me you don’t want to play multiplayer, then just using the cart is all you need 🙂
@GrailUK It seems to mainly be other gamers that think Nintendo gamers are kids. My best mate doesn’t get why I love Nintendo, I keep telling him games are about having fun and Nintendo make fun games. I play ‘adult’ games on my PC, but to me it doesn’t matter what the game looks or plays like, if it fun I’ll play it. On subject, I would love to see this game come to Switch, annoyingly I’ll be in two minds, play it on PC, or wait and hope it comes to Switch.
They’d need to learn how to optimise it first. The first one was terrible on consoles, even on a high spec PC it was a struggle whilst also looking terrible. Mind you it was using an older version of idtech, which was known to be a terrible engine.
@8itmap_k1d Uh it's not unfinished, they released it as a finished product. I do question people that think it's ok to release a broken game because it can be patched later...
You should give it a score, it's released so it should be judged as it is now, not a month later. They thought it was fine to release it, so it's fine to judge it now.
It's not really optimisation though is it, Nintendo use simple textures, in games that use high resolution realistic looking textures that's what takes up the biggest chunk. That and audio.
@westman98 I'd love to, not just for Fifa though. I have multiple sclerosis, the dry climate would help me a lot compared to the UK haha.
So far I've only preordered the Switch version, I was planning to also get the PC version to play online, but there's so many games coming out soon I'm just going to get the Switch version. I never play the story mode on PC anyway, so I'm not bothered the Switch version doesn't have it.
@Nintendoforlife Wouldn't bother, he seems to enjoy trolling because his Wii U has been abandoned and he refuses to move on. I honestly have no idea why he posts in these articles, when he has no interest in the Switch, seems like a huge waste of time.
I have this on PC and love it, shocked it's coming to Switch and will definitely buy it again. It's over 80GB on PC, so it'll be fun to see how big it is on Switch. This console keeps getting better and better, I wasn't sure it would get a lot of 3rd party support, but this is awesome news.

And yet charge more whilst also including less games.

Re: Hands On: RiME Lights Up On Nintendo Switch
@thesilverbrick Can’t believe this, we really get a bad deal compared to you guys😭 Also Prime is cheaper in the US as well.
Re: Review: Quest of Dungeons (Switch eShop)
I like dungeon crawlers, but this game looks very bland.
Re: Hands On: RiME Lights Up On Nintendo Switch
@thesilverbrick What country is that deal? In the UK Prime is just a flat £2 off.
Re: Hands On: RiME Lights Up On Nintendo Switch
I wish this game was longer, can’t see myself buying it for the Switch.

Edit: My game has just dispatched
Re: You'll Be Able To Unlock An Exclusive Nintendo Switch Kit In FIFA 18
@MartyFlanMJFan It’s sold out on Amazon that’s why. I have it preordered on Amazon.
Pretty worrying that nobody has received a review code yet though.
Re: LEGO Worlds Just Got a New Update
@Kiz3000 Fair enough, I thought it was for the same reason as NBA, it was a while ago I read the review, thanks for correcting me though🙂

Patiently waiting for this and Terratia 😊

Re: SNES Classic Mini Consoles Spotted In The Wild Ahead Of Official Release
@Mart1ndo I didn’t jump down your throat. You said big mistake, when for me it clearly wasn’t, otherwise why would I cancel it...
Re: Digital Foundry Explores the Framerate and a Resolution Boost in Super Mario Odyssey

Re: DOOM Will Be 720p When Docked, And Unsurprisingly There's No 'Motion' Aiming

Re: DOOM Will Be 720p When Docked, And Unsurprisingly There's No 'Motion' Aiming
@amos_IRL This game is far too fast paced for motion aiming.
Re: DOOM Will Be 720p When Docked, And Unsurprisingly There's No 'Motion' Aiming
Crazy me was hoping for 60fps when docked, especially at 720p. Still looking forward to it though, I loved it on PC.
Re: Shinji Mikami Thinks A Switch Version Of The Evil Within 2 Would Be "Interesting"

Re: Shinji Mikami Thinks A Switch Version Of The Evil Within 2 Would Be "Interesting"
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It would still be a port though, something you constantly moan about.

Re: Sega Dreamcast: Collected Works Looks Like A Dream Come True
The title of this article is very misleading, I thought it was going to be a Sega collection on Switch 😭

It's not really optimisation though is it, Nintendo use simple textures, in games that use high resolution realistic looking textures that's what takes up the biggest chunk. That and audio.

Oh man I want that Super Nintendo wallpaper for my phone, I don't have enough coins though.
Re: Retail Version of DOOM on Switch Will Need a Download for Online Multiplayer
Good, I only want to play single player anyway. I wish on PC it was all separate including snap map, as it's like 80GB and I only play singleplayer.
