Just remake Explorers of Sky PLEASE

My copy of Dragon Quest V. Not just because it's an amazing game, but because I bought it new for 21 euros. It's going for almost ten times that price now.

Europe literally hasnt gotten a single restock. Meanwhile this is like the 3rd restock for the U.S.

I mean sure, this year is amazing. But we've also had years like 2018 with a very lackluster output from Nintendo.

@nukatha I will join you on that hill!

Lists like these always feel like an ad for the new Switch game, or is it just me?

"It's still vital." I'd argue it was never vital in the fist place for Nintendo. It's just extra money.

And I thought the Zelda 35th anniversary was bad

@MajorTom You're absolutely right. Looks like many people didn't even read the question before answering the poll. I guess most people just look at the game they have played and judge ''Nintendo's'' year based off that.

With just how many of the Sonic games are bad, I find it very surprising Sonic still has so many fans.

I wish I could do the same with an NES-shell, that's some serious skill.

The Switch version of this game has become a joke on various subreddits for how downgraded the graphics are...

Nintendo is probably glad with this, since they wanted to buy their shares back.

''Once you've accepted what Federation Force is rather than what it isn't, it becomes a much easier game to enjoy and a thoroughly decent Metroid spin-off.''
''Our score: 8/10''
Didn't know ''decent'' meant 8/10.

''Master, your joycons appear to be drifting!''

Thankfully Nintendolife is here to defend the poor small indie company

Lemme guess, you guys saw the post on reddit and decided to write a whole article about it?

It's ridiculous Nintendo thinks they have any authority over something like this.

No mention of BotW2 at all. The internet will go insane.

News: there is no news

Where is the "I dont reread books because I dont read books" option?

''If I defend a company this much, do you think they'll notice?''

''And if you're more of a retro gamer, and you don't want to deal with season passes, microtransactions and so on (which are mainly optional, with games like FIFA giving a bad rep to DLC and add-ons that can actually be fun)''

This really is a new low for this website.

''we likely are close to the point when Nintendo enhances and improves Switch Online''
That's a very good joke

Graphically it's one of the best GBC games, but I never liked the stage design. Gameplay-wise it was never that good imo. But hey, that's just me. I have played games from that era and earlier with much better stage design.

So many people blindly defending a company that doesn't care about them in this thread, it's pretty hilarious.

All that effort for a device that will have drifting sticks in a few months...

Wow, even harder than the original games on the default setting? I definitely didn't expect that.

@gaga64 I don't really think it's fair to compare the price of a rom collection to the price of each retro game cartridge. If you put it that way the developers could charge about 50 euros for this collection and it would still be a ''good deal.''

My biggest problem with this collection is that it's 20 euros for 3 Game Boy games. If you compare this to the prices of Game Boy games on the 3ds Virtual Console, it's basically twice as expensive.

Its just corporate speech, devoid of any meaning

Remember that Nintendolife headline about EA's releases for the Switch in the upcoming months, ''Now that's some support.'' Aged as well as milk...

@abbyhitter I played both and I think the only big difference was a sidequest that gives you an extra partymember.

Indie games can be good, but I never consider them a big deal (1 or 2 exceptions aside). A few indies definitely do not make up for the lack of Nintendo games, their output has been quite low if you dont count Wii U ports. Thankfully I have a huge backlog and wont be bored, but I can definitely see why some people arent happy.

Why is this tagged as news? Its a rumour.

For what it was, it was good. However, it shouldn't have been this. A 3rd party only Direct when there are almost no Nintendo games to look forward to? It's bound to piss people off.

Paper Mario: The Origami King is not an rpg. Even Nintendo itself says so: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Paper-Mario-The-Origami-King-1782440.html#gameDetails

Genre: adventure, action.

''The results [of Sticker Star] were mixed, and fan reaction was similarly diverse as a result.''
I'm pretty sure the fan reaction wasn't diverse: the majority was dissapointed.

@scully1888 Yes I do know that, however you all represent the same website. And a lot of reviews from this site fall into a very ''interesting'' pattern: it is very remarkable how a lot of ''controversial games'' get 8/10s from this website: Paper Mario Sticker Star/the Origami King, Star Fox 0, Pokémon Sword and Shield, the SuperStar Saga remake, the Wonderul 101, Federation Force, the list goes on. It seems like more than a strange coincidence how almost no ''controversial (nintendo) game'' gets a lower score than an 8 on this website. Except for the obvious bad games like Amiibo Festival.

That aside,I just can not understand how a game can score an 8/10 when even the reviewer admits that a lot of the time is spend on battles that are just not fun. Even when the rest of the game is fun, it just seems a bit too high, but that's just my opinion.

An 8/10, just a reminder that this website also gave that very same score to...Sticker Star

"NoW ThAts SoMe SuPpOrT"

Since Nintendo refuses to make a new Mario RPG, I'm glad this exists. And for those of you saying that the Origami King might be a return to the classic Paper Mario formula, it probably won't be. Nintendo isn't even describing it as an rpg, but as an ''action, adventure'' game on their webpage: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Paper-Mario-The-Origami-King-1782440.html#gameDetails.

Platinum Games: breathes
Nintendolife: Write that down! Write that down!

I have literally been playing this game for the past week and have ~30 hours in it...all because I never expected this game to actually get a port XD

An entire paragraph on why the author is against fanservice. Its just unprofessional to put that in a review.

And how is Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate a spin-off?

I agree with everything but the loading times...those are incredibly long in MHW. I prefer a couple of 4 second loading screens over a single loading time that is 3 minutes long

Having finally completed Hyrule Warriors, I can pick up Octopath again

Stardew Valley....finally!

@Videogameguru50 I never said that just using an old engine made a game ''lazy''. Using an old engine does mean that you won't need to put as much effort into a game as in a brand new one, for what you need to make a new engine.

So they didn't need to put in a lot of effort into that aspect of the game. But then they just reused the same sprites as in Dream Team and Paper Jam, without slightly changing them to match the look of the original GBA game. That was the part where the developers DID need to put effort in, and they didn't.

And no. They did not remake Bowsers sprite in this game. They just used the one they used in Paper Jam and Dream Team.

TLDR: using an old engine is not lazy. But not even changing the sprites in that engine to match the source material in a remake is.
