Re: Switch Online's Game Boy App Has Been Updated To Version 3.0.0, Adds Boot Screen Easter Egg

JohnnyMind

So cool to see this added also to the Game Boy app and even more so considering that there are these variants depending on your game screen setting - one more reason for me to switch to Game Boy Color, my favorite among these thanks to both nostalgia (my sister first and later I got straight up GBCs) and how it objectively looks as you can see in the comparison included in this article!

Re: ICYMI: Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted Post Launch Summary - What's Bloomed Since Release

JohnnyMind

Glad to hear about all these updates and better late than never - would've obviously been better if the game had been in a better state from the start, but that's up to the publisher, not the developers and even despite that I'm still glad to the former that they contributed to making the game come out in the first place and letting the latter fix the issues at least post launch, unfortunately even that is far from guaranteed nowadays...
All that said, I'll gladly get the game when I can now that it has been mostly fixed and then when I have the time for it finally play it (this will be my first Plants vs. Zombies)!

Re: Review: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Switch 2) - A Serviceable Port Of One Of Lara's Very Best

JohnnyMind

Thanks for the review, doubt any of those cons will particularly bother me - especially the "visual fidelity" and even more so considering all the other technical aspects and low starting price that can be even lower thanks to discounts day one, sorry but again I can't help feeling that some want to have their cake and eat it, too - while practically everything else mentioned throughout this review definitely appeals to me so I'm looking forward to finally playing this game myself when I have the time for it properly (have only watched friends partially playing it back in the day) even more than I already was!

Re: Nintendo Has Scheduled Maintenance For 3DS Later Today

JohnnyMind

Most likely just due to security or something like that as already mentioned here - that said, this is further confirmation that they're not taking down the servers anytime soon since it wouldn't make sense to do this if that were the case (and so yet again the fear of not being able to redownload your purchased games at the very least after several years if not decades in the case of the Wii even after the eShop's closure is unfounded)!

Re: Metroid Prime 4's Official Rating Summary Spotted On ESRB Website

JohnnyMind

And of course these are the actual reasons why it has a Teen rating, not what some thought because of a previous article here on Nintendo Life mentioning only the second part of this one, i.e. the Teen rating in general - anyway, so looking forward to finally (even more appropriate in this case considering how many years have passed since its reveal) playing Prime 4 myself as soon as my copy arrives!

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 21.0.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

JohnnyMind

Glad that those issues have been fixed for those affected by them (luckily not me included) other than the usual stability and related jokes - looking forward to hearing which backward compatibility issues have been fixed in addition to Nier as already mentioned here (thanks @tonyp1987 for telling us), so glad that finally works as intended in general and of course also personally since I haven't played it yet myself!

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows X Attack On Titan Collab Announced

JohnnyMind

Didn't see this coming, but personally I welcome it - doubt I'll take part in it myself though as even if I get the game by then most likely I won't have the time for it (so many recent or upcoming games starting with Nintendo ones that I want to play first and foremost and even more so since my copies haven't arrived yet)!

Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV Album

JohnnyMind

Nice to see Jamboree already on Nintendo Music and even more so considering that the Jamboree TV tracks are included, too (still listening to this OST in game myself as I haven't finished getting all the achievements although I'm pretty close to doing so, after that I'll just play it with my friends and on stream from time to time) - good to hear here in the comments that Switch 2 has been added to the console list, we'll definitely see more and more soundtracks of its exclusives going forward and I absolutely love to see it!

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Pac-Man DLC Pack Arrives Early 2026

JohnnyMind

Plans could still change but yeah, most likely it will happen then if they already have such a graphic - regardless, looking forward to Pac-Man (don't know if I'll have got the Season Pass by then, but I'll definitely take part in the associated festival and so race on the new track at the very least thanks to that)!

Re: Shujinkou's Enormous Soundtrack Is Now Available To Download

JohnnyMind

Oh wow that's a lot of music - definitely getting this soundtrack (most likely on Bandcamp, but we'll see) when I can, even more interested in it than I already was after listening to Sugi's Theme thanks to its inclusion in this article... and of course looking forward to playing the game itself when I have the time for it!

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Kirby Air Riders?

JohnnyMind

My copy hasn't arrived yet so I'm not voting for now, but based on what I've seen, heard and played of Air Riders (so glad I managed to take part in the test twice on stream) I expect it to be excellent if not even better for me - hope others who went for the full release will enjoy it, too!

Re: PokéPark Kanto Includes A Major Area Those With Limited Mobility Can't Access

JohnnyMind

@Thirteen1355 People from all parts of the world here acknowledged that there are a lot experiences of this kind that are impossible to make accessible to those with serious mobilty needs - heck, there's even someone who works with disabled people for a living saying so (speaking of, I'm not sure why you singled out my comment, it's not even the first one mentioning that)...

Re: Review: SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans Of The Tide (Switch 2) - A Great, If Overly Familiar, Platform Adventure

JohnnyMind

Thanks for the review, I definitely don't mind more of the same with just a couple of variations as long as that's overall good if not better like apparently in this very case - looking forward to playing Titans of the Tide myself when I have the time for it (not before having finally played the previous Purple Lamp SpongeBob games, especially Battle for Bikini Bottom also considering that I already have it)!

Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability

JohnnyMind

Again, reminder of all the complaining about starting prices ever since the start of the Switch 2 gen including that of the system itself at first - imagine if the internal storage had been higher and so also the cost and the price (personally I would've gladly taken more storage and a higher starting price that eventually gets lower thanks to discounts, but I can't help feeling that some people want to have their cake and eat it, too)...

Re: UK Charts: Kirby Air Riders Narrowly Misses Out On A Top Ten Spot

JohnnyMind

Not surprised considering that these are the UK charts and yeah, it will most likely be higher in the Japanese ones (and as usual I'm more interested in those since they include the actual sales) - that said, still glad to see Air Riders on here!
Also personally happy to see Mario Kart World in 2nd, Legends Z-A in 5th (this time the platform split is even closer than usual although the Switch 2 version practically always sells), Bananza in 6th, Clair Obscur in 7th (bet there was a sale and as usual would love to see it come to Switch 2 both in general and personally), Hogwarts Legacy in 8th, 8 Deluxe in 10th, Astro Bot back in 11th, (considering the jump most likely a sale for this as well), the Galaxy games in 15th, CrossWorlds in 18th (yet another sale and for Switch potentially combined with the upcoming upgrade), Hades II debuting in 21st (wish it sold better physically, though) etc.!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - SNES Classic Mini Console

JohnnyMind

All of these have something major going for them:

  • North America explicitly mentions some of the games included, first and foremost the at the time never released Star Fox 2;
  • Europe has the colored buttons (never been a fan of the American color scheme) and mentions the exact amount of games included;
  • Japan has a really cool artwork!

That said, personally I'm going for Europe as it has the most information first and foremost and at least some color between the abovementioned buttons and the Super Mario World artwork!
