Tetris is quite literally and without hyperbole a perfect game. It’s likely the actual best game of all time… but honestly who cares? Most people have different tastes than I do I guess.
@twztid13 wii era color scheme was red. NL went back to red to correspond with Nintendo’s shift away from the wii (u) blue back to the classic red/white.
@Apportal_SMM2 that’s my point exactly. If someone isn’t reading the review it devalues the whole process. Someone is forming their opinion based on a number rather than a review. I used to think that review scores were important, but I disagree with that earlier sentiment more and more each passing day.
Can we just get rid of numerical scores already... the review speaks to what works and what is frustrating and provides a list of pros and cons. The reader is supposed to read the critique and consider what s/he values in a game. The score isn’t open for debate, but continuing to add scores to reviews when readers seem to only care about the number and not the content of the review itself devalues the hard work of the reviewers on this site.
I can't wait to play this! Looks great! Added it to my wishlist ages ago, but I haven't been around reliable wifi in over a week to actually download it to my Switch...
@baller98 probably the NWR review. Pay attention to the review, not the site. Find reviewers that tend to like similar games to your interests and listen to their opinions. Otherwise your going to buy a lot of crap and miss a lot of gems.
Missed the pre-order sale, but I'm a sucker for this type of game. Tetris is my hands-down-favorite game of all time and I needed this in my life... worth. it.
@Giygas_95 Agreed! Love The Messenger, I was just thinking this morning that I needed to dive back into the game nearly completed it and then got distracted. GREAT soundtrack!
@Kalmaro truthful I was just hoping everything is alright and it’s good to hear from you. I miss reading your comments on the NL articles. Is there another site you’ve migrated over to, or are you just taking a step back from the comments section?
Let's see what irrelevant to this post cookies are in the supermarket
Oreos Golden Oreos Birthday Cake Oreos Double Stuf Oreos Christmas Oreos Key Lime Pie Oreos Pepperidge Farm Oatmeal Raisin
Yep "Cookies" looking good in the grocery store. Cookie Fanboy's: This isle has no chocolate chip cookies = drought. but wait there's Oatmeal Raisin = best cookie selection ever
I know it's buried under 80+ comments, but if you haven't given Tumblestone a chance, you are really missing out. One of my favorite downloads on the Wii U. Great for fans of puzzle games!
I’ll probably grab this eventually. I just don’t play games like FIFA enough to warrant a day one purchase, even if it does sound pretty great from the review.
This is not just a comment. This is a congratulatory message regarding the successful execution of Alex's satirical approach to the Splatoon 2 range of accessories.
But in all seriousness, this game takes everything I loved about the first Splatoon and defines it to perfection. I'm glad to see them continue to work on balancing and other tweaks to make it even better.

@ArtiomNLS yes, because I don’t think anyone gets the pun/joke/whatever it is you’re trying to say with the pooplers comment.

Re: Review: Good Job! - This Laugh-Riot Feels Like 2020's Answer To Untitled Goose Game
@kalmaro thanks, I know... but Nintendo published the game and my rhyme worked better with Nintendo than Paladin. Good job Paladin, too!
Re: Review: Good Job! - This Laugh-Riot Feels Like 2020's Answer To Untitled Goose Game

Re: Nindie Round Up: Solar Flux, Dreamwalker, Bring Them Home, Rain World and Mech Rage
I’d love to know how Rainworld’s difficulty stacks up to Hollow Knight (a game I loved, but found the boss fights too frustrating before the end)
Re: Reminder: Atari Flashback Classics Is Out Now On Switch, 150 Games Included
Astroblast!!!!! It’s worth the price of admission for that game alone. Everything else is just cake.

Re: Machinarium
I really wanted to play this years ago when it was announced for Wii! Not quite as interested in 2018, but I'll keep an eye on this title.

Pretty stoked anyway!!

Re: Poll: Nintendo's Switch Arcade Archives - Is It the Retro Gaming You Want?
@YANDMAN there’s also no VS Punch Out or Mario Bros. What’s your point?
Re: Review: FIFA 18 (Switch)
I’ll probably grab this eventually. I just don’t play games like FIFA enough to warrant a day one purchase, even if it does sound pretty great from the review.
Re: Poll: Nintendo's Switch Arcade Archives - Is It the Retro Gaming You Want?
I love arcade games, but I still just want Donkey Kong. Figure out the legal issues and get it to the people!
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th September (North America)
I've been waiting for HIVE JUMP for a LOOOOOOOOONG time. I will probably plug in the Wii U just for that.
