This really shouldn't be going on in 2018. They do it because it's cheaper then sourcing ethical materials. End of. It's greedy companies.
If there is anything good to say about this, at least it sounds like they are moving in the right direction by reducing the percentage of materials from these slave driving war mongers.
During the boom, people were saying 100 million Switch units would sell. That was always based on it having 5 amazing years like it had in its first year. And 5 boom years in a row was always unlikely. Switch could still do 50 million and that would be healthy enough.
@Bliquid hmm. Can't actually disagree with you there and shows with layers being better. As a Megaman fan, I want a show like that. But from day 1, I wasn't interested in this particular Megaman show, because it was obvious right away it wasn't for we old fans. Doesn't mean it won't be good for the younglings. And if it's good, it might encourage them to make another show for us oldiewonks. They'll be less inclined to do that if we call for their offices to be burned down though. That's why it's frustrating to me to see people react badly.
The negativity is unjustified. This looks like it will appeal to its target audience. Aka, not us. Don't be butt hurt because a kids TV show turns out to be made for kids.
I was disappointed with the alolan forms implementation so far.
No bonus experience for catching one, no achievement medal to work towards. Nothing. It was just like catching a regular exeggcutor. It seemed lazy to me.
Pretty sure the human characters are already in this style.
And if this game is about to be revealed and is due for release this year, it's pretty damn late to be hiring for anything significant. Don't expect much to come from this job listing.
@SmaMan It does seem short to me too. I could understand them restricting it to daylight hours to stop the kids running around the park at night. But finishing at 1pm? Community Extended Lunch. Hope you have better luck next time dude.
Aww boo. I live near Cambridge but this event clashes with the London Film and Comic Con which I already have tickets for. Doubt I'll make it. Have fun.
With such a vibrant indie scene on the eShop, why would Nintendo want to take attention away from it by flogging old games again, that everyone will complain are too expensive and not ported the way they want it anyway? Many of these old games have not aged well either. Let the VC die and focus on Mini consoles and more remasters like the Zelda HD games.
@KcebEnyaw You know what, I agree with you. You should be able to get something within walking distance, everywhere.
I don't know what your neighbourhood is like, but I live in a small town and there's pockets of good spawn stuff within walking distance. Plenty of empty areas too. It's why I find it hard to believe there's nothing, unless you live in a really rural spot.
It lacks even some of the key info available quite freely. Like recommended number of players. Do better NL. Clickbait like this will lose you members long term.
@-DG 2 minutes? Bloody hell. Where were you playing? Must have been a really competitive area. My Pokemon usually hang on long enough to get the full 50 coins. Personally, I'd never want the gyms to go back the way they were.
GBA had an amazing library of games, including some of my top games of all time. Megaman Zero 2, Superstar Saga, Fire Emeblem. So manly memories... Take me back!!

Re: Random: Nintendo Finally Confirms The Correct Pronunciation For 'NES'
Ha! I always pronounced it NEZ. Never could understand why people pronounced each letter. It's such a mouthful. I guess we were both wrong!

Re: Get Your Hands On Super Smash Bros. Ultimate At NintendoUKVS Live: London This Weekend
Welp, it's also the London Film and Comic-Con this weekend so I suspect everyone else (including me) will be there!
Re: Guide: New Nintendo Switch Games Releasing In 2018
Ahhh, just like the Wii days. Shovelware city!
Still, good to see developers have some confidence. Some great stuff hidden on that comprehensive list too.

Re: Poll: Is Your Nintendo Switch Cracking Under The Pressure?
Some of these will be caused by carelessness. Some from general wear and tear. You can't expect a portable to stay pristine forever.
Re: Nintendo Still Confident It Can Ship 20 Million Switch Consoles This Financial Year
Of the parts aren't getting cheaper, I guess we can't expect a price cut any time soon
Re: New Nintendo Switch Bundle Includes 90 Day Free Trial Of Switch Online Service
Swap splatoon 2 for Mario Odyssey and you have a deal!
Re: Super Mario Run Has Made Just Over $60 Million To Date
Time for a price cut and relaunch? Or a Super Mario Run 2?
Re: Capcom Explains Reasoning Behind Mega Man’s New Look In His Latest Outing
... What's changed? He looks like Megaman 8 design to me.
Re: Big The Cat, Chao And Amy Will All Be Playable In Team Sonic Racing
Looks bland and uninspired :/ A real shame considering how much fun the All Stars Racing games were.
Re: Nintendo And Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Were The Most Talked About Subjects During E3 On Twitter
How many of those tweets were "Is this @SmashBros presentation ever going to end?" ?
People were happy to see the game i'm sure, but that presentation dragged. Not a great E3 from Ninty.
Re: Review: LEGO The Incredibles (Switch)
We like the Lego games in my house and I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS!
Re: Guide: Pokémon GO Summer Tour 2018 - Chicago GO Fest And Dortmund And Yokosuka Safari Zones Event Times And Challenges
I was disappointed with the alolan forms implementation so far.

Re: Video: Burn Some Rubber With Some New Team Sonic Racing Footage
A bit disappointing. It looks slower, that level looked bland. The talking by the characters... Oh dear.
Re: Weirdness: The Internet Can't Deal With Yoshi's Sad Mario Tennis Aces Losing Pose
More stoned then sad if you ask me.
Re: Niantic Is Deleting Players' Pokémon Illegally Obtained In Pokémon GO
Serves them right.
Re: Suda51 GameCube Title killer7 To Be Remastered
I thought it was pants but plenty of people seem to like it so, here's hoping it gets a wider release.
Re: Pokémon GO's Adventure Week Event Brings Extra XP, Rewards And More Rock Types
@rushiosan Yes. People still play it. In their millions.

Re: Events: Attending The MCM London Comic Con? So Are We...
MCM isn't so great these days. Overcrowded and expensive.
We go to the London Film and Comic Con at Olympia now. It's run so much better and there's room to actually move and breathe!
Re: Rumour: Ultra Shinies Could Be Set To Glitter And Twinkle In A Pokémon Game Near You
~Everymon is so shiiiinyyyy~
Re: Guide: Pokémon GO Shinies List And How To Catch All Shiny Pokémon
@SmaMan The church near me is a also a Pokemon Gym! I don't know if they know or care. Maybe it boosts their congregation numbers!
Re: Guide: Pokémon GO Shinies List And How To Catch All Shiny Pokémon
@SmaMan It does seem short to me too. I could understand them restricting it to daylight hours to stop the kids running around the park at night. But finishing at 1pm? Community Extended Lunch.
Hope you have better luck next time dude.
Re: Guide: Pokémon GO Shinies List And How To Catch All Shiny Pokémon
@SmaMan Were you out at the right time? 10am to 1pm in the UK
Re: Event: Join Us For The Nintendo Life Gaming Night In Cambridge UK - 28th July
Aww boo. I live near Cambridge but this event clashes with the London Film and Comic Con which I already have tickets for. Doubt I'll make it. Have fun.
Re: Official Nintendo Magazine Confirms Pokémon On Switch Will Be 'Generation Eight'
"It also mentions that the games will arrive in 2018 or later, although we already knew that."
Indeed we did. We were all aware that it would arrive sometime between 2018 and later, because, it's 2018 right now! How is this magazine still going?
"Duh, it's going to come out sometime between now and the future."

Re: Valkyria Chronicles Is Coming To Switch
Tsk. More ports.
Re: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Is Finally Officially, But Switch Is Left Out In The Cold
I don't come to Nintendo Life to hear about games we're not getting.
Re: New Research Tasks Can Lead To A Date With Mew In Pokémon GO
@KcebEnyaw You know what, I agree with you. You should be able to get something within walking distance, everywhere.
I don't know what your neighbourhood is like, but I live in a small town and there's pockets of good spawn stuff within walking distance. Plenty of empty areas too. It's why I find it hard to believe there's nothing, unless you live in a really rural spot.
Re: New Research Tasks Can Lead To A Date With Mew In Pokémon GO
@KcebEnyaw sorry, but, the core games would be pretty boring if all the Pokemon spawned outside the main characters house.
Pokemon Go, like all Pokemon games, is about travelling around to catch them all.
Re: Detective Pikachu Is Off The Case As It Debuts At Number 23 In The UK Charts
I'm surprised it did that well. Niche game with no real advertising on a platform most have moved on from.
Re: Weirdness: We've Been Sent a Ludicrously Big Box to Open
"JEEEESUS CHRIST!"

Re: Preview: Cracking The Case With Detective Pikachu On 3DS
Pikachu wearing a detective hat confirmed for Pokemon Go!
Re: Guide: Pokémon GO Super Incubator - What It Does And How To Get It
Not again. Wrong info.
Re: Guide: Pokémon GO Raid Boss List - All Raid Bosses Listed By Tier
But if a rubbish, incomplete and lazy list.
It lacks even some of the key info available quite freely. Like recommended number of players. Do better NL. Clickbait like this will lose you members long term.
Re: Break Out Those Calendars Because 27th February Is Pokémon Day
Pokemon Go double experience day plzkthx
Re: Pokémon GO's Latest Event Is On Right Now, And There's A Brand New Shiny Pokémon
@-DG 2 minutes? Bloody hell. Where were you playing? Must have been a really competitive area. My Pokemon usually hang on long enough to get the full 50 coins.
Personally, I'd never want the gyms to go back the way they were.
Re: Video: Nintendo Labo Is Much More Than Cardboard, You Guys
It looks fun!
But it is cardboard. It really is.
Re: Pokémon GO Finally Lets You Dress Up As A Fisherman
Well I suppose every update can't be a big one.
Hopefully they do something more so Valentine's day
Re: Pokémon GO's Gen III Trailer Is Narrated By Stephen Fry, Because Why Not
Agree that it doesn't sound like Stephen Fry.

Re: Pokémon GO Has Introduced Another New Set of Monsters From Generation 3
Still play everyday. And still plenty to catch and evolve. Still plenty more to come and new features they could introduce.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Creator Yuji Naka Joins Square Enix, will "Strive To Develop Games"
Trying to remember the last good game he made... Struggling. Did his talent fade when the Dreamcast died?
Re: Nintendo's Track Record With Direct Broadcasts Points to Another One Happening Very Soon
Given how light that Nintendo Direct Mini was, I wouldn't be surprised if there was another very soon. In fact, it's needed.
Re: Feature: Here's What Was Announced During The January 2018 Nintendo Direct Mini
Bit disappointed. Not a lot of new games. Just ports.
