I was looking for a Metroid Prime artbook for Christmas so while this is obviously late for that, it should make a great birthday present next year instead!

@BananaCookie That first screenshot makes him look like he has eyes with slit pupils! But it's just his hair. Tricked me for a moment!

That's quite the visual update, even if some of it is a bit jarring.

I'd be interested to hear if it has any QoL features, and if the button layout can be customised. I'm not sure when I'll get this but I've wanted to give the first game in the series another go for ages.

I started the game tonight and I noticed this too! It throws me off. I probably will get used to it but right now it doesn't feel natural, it requires just that little bit too much concentration.

It sold badly because most have played it already. I suspect that has more to do with it.

Bizarre statement considering the end product. Nothing wrong with Okami in my opinion.

Not sure how well it will have aged but one to watch, especially with any extra polish they might put on.

There will definitely be cheaper physical preorders available at some point but if you like digital, it's cheaper than the £49-59 these will be on the eShop.

I hate to say it but... I think we're going to see a bunch of stuff we already saw at Summer Games Fest. 3rd party titles for Switch. Like Lego Horizon.

Just picked up Berkserk Boy on sale.

At the end of the day, there's no getting away from the facts.

Everything breaks eventually.
Nothing lasts forever.
Joy cons that get used alot, break faster.
You can't compare Joy Cons to older Nintendo controllers. It's like comparing a bicycle to a car. There's far more things that can go wrong with a Joy Con than a SNES controller. It also explains the price hikes. Consumers/Developers want more functionality from their controllers. That comes at a price.

I hate to sound like I'm making excuses and I hope Nintendo go even further to test their hardware durability for Switch 2. But trying to sue Nintendo because "stuff breaks" was never going to work.

Looks good but not seeing the Sonic Adventure comparisons. Looks much more like boost era Sonic to me, Generations, Colours and Forces gameplay of running fast on a road. There's Sonic Heroes vibes too. But not so much Adventure in my opinion.

I mean, they both have Chonky Chu so are both winners in my eyes.

There are many things I loved about TotK, and some things I thought it did better, but overall I think BotW is the better game. Both outstanding though.

@OorWullie I came on here precisely to comment this. How can you leave out the cows from Earthworm Jim.

"Well done" Cow says as his friend grins in the background. Thank you cows. I appreciate you, even if Nintendo Life doesn't.

Personally, I'm waiting to see if these will be playable on Switch 2. Avoiding digital Switch 1 purchases until we know more.

They said the same about FF7R

Unpopular opinion, but I think I'm ready for a new 2D Mario. The last all new one was on the Wii U.

I would however, not like it in the "New" style. I'd like to see a different style, or even the return of something like the Yoshi's Island look.

Of course, I'd take a new 3D game too.

I also made a 40 level 8 world "claasic" game in Mario Maker 2. I spent months on it rather than years though. I'm proud of it even if it ain't a "Mario Bros 5".

I always thought Rayman was kind of cool so off you pop NL. There's several Nintendo first parties I'd rather not play over Rayman Origins or Legends.

I'd add the Megaman Zero/zx Collection to this list. And I'd take Mario 3D World off because... it just doesn't belong here. Sorry haha!

Love it. I had to scan my eyes over every bit a few times and saw something different going on each time.

Don't steal games, then this sort of thing won't happen...

I'm just looking forward to seeing what progress has been made. Cause those gameplay videos a few months back were a bit dull and bare bones, in my opinion.

Wild Charizard!

Helping out disadvantaged kids? Always great. If The Pokemon Company benefits from the good publicity, who cares.

Jebus, I'm not sure I have time for 100 hours of additional side quests, no matter how good they are. At least the ones I do end up doing won't feel like a waste of time.

I just bought Axiom Verge 2 for 25% off. Pretty sure that's not a multiplayer game! XD

My point is, for those complaining... there's single player stuff on sale too. And big sale's come along fairly regularly. No need to panic.

What do I want to see from this very specific Splatoon Direct??

Smash Bros character reveal and BOTW2 news, OBVIOUSLY!

That Midway 12 in 1. Lovely! Maybe some day...

I'd rather have a timeline for their release to be honest.

Sega's creativity through the Dreamcast/Gamecube generations was top notch. Shame they're not the same now.

I'd take a Megaman X9 with SNES graphics please.

It's an optional mode. What's the problem?

Sonic the Leghog.

I pronounce it "The demo was just ok, I might get it on sale"

Sounds like there's room for a lot of improvement with the EU site. Maybe it's a big overhaul?
There's never a good time for these things.

@mariomaster96 We've all been hyped about something in our lives so I understand. It's still kind of bizarre if you think about it though.

Who cares about how they announce things?? Whether it's announced in a direct or not makes zero difference to the final game or your level of enjoyment.

This isn't scummy when you look at all the stuff it covers. Way more than just joy con defects. Read the article.

TMNT II: Back to the Sewers for Gameboy. Very good.

Sounds turtle-y awesome!

@jrt87 You don't know the fanbase very well if you think they think any Sonic game, especially mainline 3D ones, are GOTY contenders 😂 They just hope it'll turn out "not bad" or perhaps, even "Good enough".

There's probably a few who get that excited, but the majority know Sonic games often turn out deeply frustrating. But we live in hope that the good will outweigh the bad in each release. Occasionally it happens (Colours, Generations, Mania). But usually not.

A little disappointing, but intrigued to hear the new stuff from Jun.

Not listed here is Shin Megami Tensei V for £33. Don't think that's been in the 33% off sale before. Definitely worth it if you haven't got it already. Big game.

Would like a Dreamcast Mini and a proper GameGear Mini (not those expensive key chain versions).

Then again, in the case of DC games, I already have a fair few that I bought for pennies on Steam so it's not the end if the world.

I'm pleased to see Sonic looking like he has some control over what he's doing. Agree this looks like an overworld. I'm still intrigued for now.

Little disappointed that they haven't added more stuff to make it look like the Sonic universe. Where's my checkerboard grass??

If it was something Four Swords related, I'd expect, y'know, four options. So I'd say Ages/Seasons remakes by the studio that did Links Awakening for Switch. It would make sense for them to move on to the other Gameboy Zeldas next.

Or the tweet is nothing.

Baby Park is great just for being unique. Agree things can get out of hand quickly like no other track I can think of!

"Froggy chair? Is that you? I must save Froggy Chair!

BIG THE CAT INTENSIFIES.
