Ugh look at those disgusting hackers having fun with a decades old game. Nintendolife shouldn't promote such filth

@ilikeike why? Because it's fun to create a game for the NES. These are creative people. It's like asking why people like to paint when they could just use their smartphone cam

I know some reliable insiders and Rayman is indeed one of the four upcoming downloadable characters:

1. Rayman
2. Cuphead
3. Kazuma Kiryu (Yakuza)
4. Ecco the Dolphin

I will pay for it just because of how many hours I've put in Tetris 99.

Too bad it doesn't have 1v1 Tetris. The only other option is Puyo Puyo Tetris, but online is mostly dead and I hate getting paired with Puyo players

Nintendo always has those whiny pages.

They still have this one about emulators:

https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#emulator

"How Does Nintendo Feel About the Emergence of Video Game Emulators?

The introduction of emulators created to play illegally copied Nintendo software represents the greatest threat to date to the intellectual property rights of video game developers. As is the case with any business or industry, when its products become available for free, the revenue stream supporting that industry is threatened. Such emulators have the potential to significantly damage a worldwide entertainment software industry which generates over $15 billion annually, and tens of thousands of jobs."

@KayFiOS I bought a physical version of Okami HD. Japanese version (with an English option) was $25 in Taiwan.

In my spare time I'm working on some emulators(NES/Gameboy) that allow for graphical enhancements, so Mario Bros looks more like Super Mario Maker/NES remix(which added things like gradients and drop shadows). Also individual palettes for every sprite so gameboy games can get recolored.

Not really a fan of changing the sprites though. The new mario sprite makes it look like a different game. The original looked more like a scaled down Super Mario Bros sprite

@StarBot Tetris 99 doesn't offer 1 vs 1 games.

It's fun, play it a lot (over 250 games, won more than 100), but it's no substitute for 1vs1 gameplay.

I want a Tetris Champions game.

Loved Tetris in Puyo Puyo Tetris, but hated playing against Puyo players.

@AugustusOxy lol and there is always somebody defending this horrible online service from a multi billion dollar enterprise.

I buy Nintendo consoles for maybe three games, so why not?

Looks better than most indie games that get a 9 outta 10 on this website.

@Heavyarms55 except he didn't rob any one but gave the world something cool.

@eternalcube lol, why do you have to choose? Still fanboying as an adult

@R_Champ if you have an decent job, you own at least a PS4, Switch and PC. And still save at least $1000 a month.

Too many exclusives on the PS4 not to own it. Although you could play Persona 5 on a PS3 emulator on your pc

@The_Pixel_King lol who doesn't have a PS4?

@SKTTR Killer Instinct was one of the best Gameboy games. Easily top 3 for me.

All these Warriors type of games look and play the same. Like they just replace the character models. Like those old licensed 2D platformers on the Gameboy and SNES that all played the same.

I don't need those Kirby buffs, been whoopin ever since.

I wished they nerfed Kirby so they could stop me.

@Magikarp_18 most players never use the final smash any way.

Make a game based on the movie based on the game.

These Smash events are lame as hell. They should've made online events like Splatoon does with the Splatfests. Choose a party and compete. They could've made different rule sets. Let's say everybody is metal or low gravity during the event. Or everybody gets a random character. That would spice up the online experience.

Even the Wii U/3DS events were better, where you had to collect points with certain characters, forcing you to play different ones.

@Einherjar I had a Virtual Boy and most games were quite good. Wario Land, Red Alarm, Space Squash, Teleroboxer, Galactic Pinball, Mario Clash, Jack Bros, Panic Bomber.
The system flopped, but it was still Nintendo quality with a weird retro + futuristic/immersive vibe at the same time. And a lot of catchy tunes.

Mario is ripping off Astrobot now

@Einherjar actually, a virtual boy emulator with all games would make this a must buy

I got 97 victories out of 250.

But I will be traveling that weekend, too bad.

This will be a cult classic. As it should.

@Medic_alert

Can you read? I said Kiwami 2, which uses the dragon engine. Nobody is talking about the old ugly PS2 original. Nobody wants to play that. Get outta here

Wouldn't work. Switch just isn't powerful enough for the later games like 6 and Kiwami 2, which are some of the best looking PS4 games

@Marios-love-child I wouldn't be surprised if N64/Gamecube games will be Switch Pro (or The New Switch) exclusives, just like SNES VC was on the New 3DS.

@PlickPlick I'd rather pay €3.29 and pay for the DLC if I actually like it instead of having to spend €30 up front for all the songs I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise.

Steam: €3.29 https://store.steampowered.com/app/952040/MUSYNX/
eShop: €29.99

Oh it's actually a slightly rebranded free to play mobile game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coweye.musync.googleplay&hl=nl

All these Unreal engine games barely run on the Switch. Low res and 20-25fps.

Now somebody's going to counter with **bUt yOsHi's CrAfTeD WoRlD!!** ... Yup, that is the one exception, with an art style that matches the tech. Cardboard cut outs are great for low poly counts.

@Pod They target 60fps and 1080p/4K at those consoles. So scale down to 30fps(with drops), less effects and blurfest and you have the Switch version.

@ReaderRagfish I marked your words. The PSP Go flopped because of that reason. I'm 100% sure it will have a card slot, mark my words.

The scaling looks absolutely hideous when you watch the screenshots at full size. Tons of artifacts

Ugh, look at those dirty hackers having fun online together.

I won 10+ games(no idea how much exactly) during the weekend but no Nintendo points.

The European contest was worse than the American one. In Europe the winners were chosen at random and it didn't matter how many games you won.

@ilikeike But Star Fox always had gimmicks. Star Fox on the SNES introduced the Super FX chip. Star Fox 64 introduced the Rumble Pak. Star Fox Zero started as a tech demo for for the Wii U.

It wasn't even that bad. There was an review echo chamber where every reviewer copied each others opinion about the control scheme. It wasn't that different from Splatoon.

Plus I usually like mastering a new control scheme. I remember when I had to rewire my brain the first time I played with mouse and keyboard or when I played Turok (or control scheme 1.2 in Goldeneye). Same for Splatoon with the motion controls, which made Star Fox Zero easier to learn.

But let's be real, Star Fox 64 was the only really good game in the series. Star Fox is probably Nintendo's weakest franchise.

@ilikeike Nope, that's what kept the Nintendo brand big throughout the decades. How many gaming franchises from 30 years ago do you know that are still popular today?

It's really hard to keep a games like Mario and Zelda fresh for all those years. Miyamoto's vision and drive for innovation is why Mario did not end up like Sonic the Hedgehog.

@Ludovsky Lol, what are you smoking? Miyamoto is a legend and an inspiration to the world, let alone the people who work at Nintendo.
His catalog speaks for itself, nobody even comes close.

Pirates disgust me.

Look at them having fun playing games for free that aren't even out yet. That's filthy.

Tetris 99 is the best battle royale game.

Looks better than most indie games on the Switch

@dougphisig The Japanese version of Jack Bros is quite common. I think I paid $50 for it in Japan. Wasn't that good though.

Sold all my VB stuff though, was just collecting dust.

@Reigestugatensho Because of the 720p screen of the Switch

This game doesn't even look great and still has performance issues. Low res and trouble hitting 30fps. Mario Kart Switch looks much better and runs at 1080p/60fps.

Just look at the buildings. Those are literally blocks with textures, N64 style.

@outsider83 Labo is just off. It doesn't have that Nintendo magic and it also pretty much flopped after the initial hype. The value for money aspect is also really bad. Some minigames and cardboard, c'mon son.

I bought a Virtual Boy for less than this package.

Nintendo should just kill off this Labo stuff. It's embarrassing.

I won 73 games out of 184. This will be fun.
