This will be the first trial I try. The game looked interesting but not enough to buy it. Maybe the trial will do exactly what Nintendo is hoping and I'll wind up forking over money for the game.
I don't really need my medical professionals thinking up silly promotions. I'll go, get my dental work done in a serious workplace environment, give them my insurance card and happily pay the copay.
On the other hand, at least this is a fun story. Just Google "dentist assault" and be prepared for some truly awful stuff.
I love you NL team but this is nuts. So they release a broken game and you refuse to review it until it's fixed? They should be called out by all legit reviewers for releasing such a mess.
I'm sure the people who made Cyberpunk 2077 would have killed for the same courtesy.
Wow, happy to read this review. I love Doctor Who (well maybe not some of the most recent episodes, though Whittaker is great, there is only so much she can do with awful scripts) and saw this game on the eShop and thought it was another franchise tie in cash grab that must be trash. Now I will probably get it.
It took me so long to properly align a screen protector on my Switch and make sure there were no bubbles, no way I could perfectly put a skin on it without going insane.
If Zion reviewed the game when he was blacked out drunk, just crashed his car into a telephone poll and had a concussion so serious it caused permanent brain damage, I would still trust his review 1000% more than anything IGN publishes.
That's cool. I guess the game has made enough money that they can do passion project updates. I can't imagine translating into Gaelic could possibly bring in enough money to cover the labor cost, even if it was handled by a 3rd party.
I hope we get new villagers (I still play almost daily) but as Nintentalk pointed out, there was an earlier trailer where they showed a white picket fence that never actually showed up in the game so it's very possible this is another instance of that.
The wallpaper in that trailer looks like something out of The Shining.

@MysteryCupofJoe I'm not 100% sure about this but I think it is perfect legal to buy the system but it is illegal to DL the games.
I have a bunch of these Chinese handhelds and really dig them. I usually look for the ones that come preloaded w/games (which again, I think having the games on it is technically illegal) because I don't want to go through the hassle of DL'ing the games myself.

It can't be worse than the movie at least.

Re: Mini Review: Golf Club: Wasteland - Surprisingly Engaging Post-Apocalyptic Putt Putt
Between Mario Golf and a bunch of indie golf games I already have I think I've had my fill of golf games for Switch.
Re: Random: The Nintendo DS Browser Is On Sale, So Now You Can Use The Internet Wherever You Are
I bet it will put my brand new 28k modem to shame. And here I was thinking I finally caught up to the modern world.

Re: Slime Rancher's Switch Launch Once Again Shows The Sales Power Of The eShop
The glowing NL review must help sales too. I know I'm thinking about buying it after watching Alex's video.
Re: Nintendo Is Adding A New Driver To Its Mobile Game Mario Kart Tour
For multiple reasons Nintendo having mobile games upsets me.
Re: Soapbox: Playdate Sold Out In 20 Minutes - Is It Time For A New Nintendo Handheld?

Re: Netflix Will Reportedly Offer Video Games "Within The Next Year"
They have a better chance of success than Stadia, but that's not saying much. Good luck.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - A Remaster That Truly Soars
@link3710 Phillips games don't count. Triforce Heroes is a spinoff. And I really like Phantom Hourglass.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - A Remaster That Truly Soars
When the worst game in the 35 year old series still gets a 9/10 things are pretty good.
Re: Among Us Has Been Localised Into Irish
That's cool. I guess the game has made enough money that they can do passion project updates. I can't imagine translating into Gaelic could possibly bring in enough money to cover the labor cost, even if it was handled by a 3rd party.
Re: Another Nintendo Console Has Gotten An Upgrade, But It's From 18 Years Ago
Now that is actually worth the upgrade.
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
W/O any added computing power I will only upgrade if my current Switch breaks.
Re: Random: An Official Animal Crossing Stamp Rally Is Opening At A Japanese Aquarium
Looks more exciting than the stamp rally in the game.
Re: The First Review For Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Now In
@Obi-Juan I hear ya!
And yea, the N64 version was simply called "Mario Golf". It was tons of fun (except for when OB Toad showed up).
Re: The First Review For Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Now In
I've loved Mario Golf since N64. Can't wait for this new one. I played the 3DS version for well over 200 hours.
Also OB Toad can go kick rocks.
Re: Soapbox: The Zelda: Breath of The Wild 2 Trailer Is Already Spawning Theories
Can't wait for next year's E3 when they announce BotW 2 for late 2023.
Re: Random: Nintendo America President Doug Bowser Gets Ready For The Company's "Big Day"
Pro & BotW 2 or bust.
Re: Random: Remember That Zelda HD Tech Demo For Wii U? It's Now 10 Years Old
The BotW 2 original announcement will also be 10 years old before we see the release of the actual game.
Re: Random: This Kid Tried To Sell His Prized Pokémon Card Collection To Save A Sick Puppy
It would be a more interesting story if the boy sold all his cards and the dog still died.
Re: Random: Did You Know The Wii U Can Burn eShop Games To Discs?
I once burned my hand on the stove...That's kinda the same thing right?

Re: Turn Your Wife Into A Cat With The New Story Of Seasons DLC Costumes
There is a very clear joke to be made here that is obviously too explicit for the NL comment section.
Re: Rumour: Could This House Be A Hint At New Villagers In Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
I hope we get new villagers (I still play almost daily) but as Nintentalk pointed out, there was an earlier trailer where they showed a white picket fence that never actually showed up in the game so it's very possible this is another instance of that.
Re: Reminder: The Entire Shantae Series Is Now Available On The Nintendo Switch
Someone correct me if I'm wrong (even though this is subjective and some are better than others) but there has never been a bad Shantae game right?

Re: New Fan-Made Zelda Mod Transforms Wind Waker Into Ocarina Of Time
That's cool.
I need to break out the 3DS and play Ocarina again. It's my second all time favorite game, after BotW.
