Please, understand.

Nate the Hate is not an "insider". Heck, he got more things wrong than right (he has a friend on Ubisoft who leaks for him and for everyone).

Plus, this is the same nate that had to apologize because his "leak" of CoD on Switch did not happened. He also said Metroid Prime Trilogy would be launched. Nintendo 64 Mini. StarFox GP...

He just want to boost his brand with educated guesses. He never, NEVER, leaked or got anything right from NCL.

Only people from USofA would complain about something like this.

They are the ones that complained against Smash Bros. "stereotypes" too.

The console do not even exist yet.

I remember a lot of people and companies saying that the Wii U would be the winner...

@Bolt_Strike

they need a unique hook to stand out.

But they have. Its games.

A console it is just a box to play games and Nintendo has the best games in the market.

A bad game is still bad even at a $0 price tag.

@Lightsiyd This.

We are talking about an event 4 decades old...

But all the lights go to the son of a filmmaker.

I would love to see data regarding audience outside USofA.

It seems that most people on other countries (besides Brazil, because they think that everything from USofA is good) do not care at all.

I think that imperial system in the mainline games are also inappropriate. Let us change to metric, TPC!!!

@PikminMarioKirby Ah, IGN post 2002 was a thing.

I still remember Colin Moriarty saying that Vita would be a success and outsell the 3DS because, unlike the 3DS, it had games!

These lists are always subjective.

I would never list a remake of a bad game at the top.
Pokémon Gold and Silver are, for me, the worst in the series. A remake of a bad game is still a bad game.

Gold and Heart Gold are the only Pokémon games that I played for less than 50 hours.

@rvcolem1 Why not?

People are free to do what they want with their money. Who are us to dare to tell others how they should spent their money.

To this day, still the best console ever launched.

Best Nintendo consoles (for me):

Nintendo DS
Switch
Wii

US of A Game Comercials awardzzzzzz 2024®.

Thanks, but no one outside USofA cares about this and the media should stop to try make this the "official" game of the year award.

Please, no.

Kojima makes walking simulators and interactive movies. I do not think that Nintendo fans would embrace his, ehr, games.

@GamerGrandpa NintendoEverything, a much smaller site, uses a real person to translate some pieces.

Nintendo Life is huge, I really do not know why they still uses machine translation.

Here's the Google translated excerpt:

Sigh.

I love you guys, I have been here for over 10 years. But it is time to use a real japanese translator for these kind of pieces.

Nintendo Life network is huge, has great fans and the content should match this.

:/

@Olmectron

They asked for a price? Like actually knowing the price of the console? Or what?

Reggie said in his book that he tried to push the 3DS into US$ 200 for its launch in USofA. Iwata asked about US$ 219 or US$ 229, but Reggie was adamant on US$ 200.

In the end, NCL choose US$ 250.

@larryisaman Reggie himself said that he asked for a price for 3DS in USofA and Iwata dismissed it.

Today's NoA is weak. They are a glorified PR and distribution branch. The last time that NoA was somewhat independent was when Minoru Arakawa was on the helm.

former Nintendo employees

Former Nintendo of America employees. They had 0 knowledge about things at NCL though.

Some Nintendo of America employees apparently believed that it was too risky to move away from the spec-first presentation

Good thing that Nintendo of America has almost zero input at decisions. NCL would never let its USofA subsidiary to dictate things.

In the end, as Kit said:

we are a subsidiary of this big company, we're actually not in charge at all

Western media usually overrate the importance of NoA.

@Enigk

I'm more impressed that Pokemon GO is still raking in the cash all these years later.

Pokémon Go was always popular. It is not in the regular news anymore, but still is played a lot.

> Exciting games
> LEGO Horizon Adventures

No. Pick just one.

@Samalik

(Nintendo Life get some Japanese writers into your workforce, you write about a traditionalist japanese company ffs)

This. Nintendo Life is huge, makes no sense to act like a blog and use a machine to translate japanese text.

Nintendo Everything is smaller but they always do direct translation.

@BHPM

give me analog triggers again!

Why? Or, what is the advantage?

I only see people talking about how this makes racing games more realistic, but these same people only uses automatic transmission...

I remember using it on Super Mario Sunshine and that is it. The R and L were awful for Double Dash.

@Savage_Joe

Nintendo should learn to use and let their consoles be fully compatible with 3rd party engines.

But they are and this is good.

But you will never reach the full potential of a console using a 3rd party middleware, because of that that Nintendo themselves never use a general purpose 3rd party middleware (they used a physics based for Zelda though).

You have more productivity with them (because they are faster and generic), but you lost performance (because of the high abstraction).

Makes no sense to use them in a 1st party development.

We all know that this is because of usofan hipocrisy, let us be honest here.

This is what happens when you use a 3rd party middleware.

Nintendo should not let partners to use these generic engines in their franchises.

NL should screencap the posts and post here, instead.

Because the X post could be deleted and for some of us, X is blocked.

@LadyCharlie

I missed the original video game crash of 1983,

It is not an "original video grame crash", since this was only in USofA. The market in Japan, Europe, South America were fine at the time.

@Lizuka This means nothing, to be honest.

Plus, the game is not avaiable in arabic nor in portuguese. That is almost 1 billion people.

> Slay the Princess

> One of 2023's Best Games

Of course not.

Sigh.

Dear NL, let these phrases be in opinion articles only, please.

I have more hours in ARMS than in Smash.

Smash Bros. just needs fresh air and a new direction for me.

Is it possible to Nintendo Life themselves host the videos in another place?

For some of us, X is blocked. Not in the work, but a nationwide ban. :/

As a Nintendo only player, zero interest in this.

Put Keighley in there, and my interest is negative.

Hey, good news. Now he will start to develop Treasurenauts, right? I can not wait to play in the Switch 3 Lite XL with my Axe.

This guy and Jools Watsham are featured here every month, haha.

Still easier than the first version (3DS before the dumbed down patch).

and the PS2 sold 160 million units worldwide during its lifetime.

Source: Trust me, bro. When the Switch reaches 161M, then the PS2 will magically be at 165M.

@Fizza

For a series as immensely niche as Denpa Men

At least in Japan, this is a very popular series. It has 4 3DS entries, and this one is somewhat an enhanced port of DM4.

@Vivianeat

CR is such an underrated series!

This also applies to Custom Robo, another CR underrated series from Nintendo.

Meanwhile, I am still waiting for Giftpia (or a spiritual successor).

@JasonLee99

Do the leaderboards include an option to only view people on your friend list? That’s always more interesting to me than world rankings where I will never be good enough to compete in.

I would like an answer to this too. That makes a lot of difference. I wish reviews could have some of these little details.

@link3710

Seriously? It's still $60 in the states.

You are wrong. In USofA, Switch Sports costs US$ 39,99.

I am not a fan of these "free DLC". I want the game complete, the full experience, since the beginning.

Saying that, I am still playing. A lot. Badminton, volleyball and football are so much fun.

My game of the year is Splatoon 3.

Yes. We got new content, so this is enough for me.

Splatoon 3 is the best Switch game, Every year.

The only way to play Splatoon is through the NSO. I told them this.

@deadmaker

I'm still waiting for Treasurenauts to release on 3DS.

I was really hyped with that trailer.

Everything started to go wrong after the Cult County "betrayal".

Since the new Fire Emblem games are dumbed down (and this is not in a negative way, since I have more than 300 hours in Engage), a remake of an older game only makes sense in the last year of the console.

I just hope that this one (if exists) have a better luck than FE2 remake.

Who?

No, thanks.

Horizon is a mediocre series and Alloy is insignificant as a character.

I wish that the next Smash only have Nintendo characters.

No.

They should focus on new games.

If these old games can run the same way the already are, it is ok for me.
