This doesn't look that great.

Not sure why this is getting attention out of the hundreds of Switch UI mock ups.

Started playing this series with Cold Steel 3 and I gotta say that the game does a good job of getting you up speed on what happened in the previous games.

If anyone feels like they have to experience this series, I say at least play the 3rd one first if Switch is your only option.

It's kinda like an anime, IMO.

These type of things are always "mistakes" 😏

@Mr-Fuggles777

There's a key distinction. Those RETRO games stay on the service and doesn't disappear at any moment like all third party games eventually do on GamePass.

So in a sense, you're paying for a service that isn't really all that consistent outside of MS titles while NSO offerings are completely supplementary (and consistent) to someone who's not really a collector of old school games on a particular Nintendo platform.

@Dirty0814

Bruh, just a few years back when it was only NES games on NSO, everyone was begging for SNES games.

Now that it's here, it means nothing to them and it's on to the next request (GBA, GameCube, ect which will obviously get representation at some point).

People are so phony sometimes lol!

@Mr-Fuggles777

You're paying £80 a year to rent games on GamePass (When you be owning them) while I'm dropping money for NSO, not having to worry about anything else until the following year, whatever retro games Nintendo wants to put on the thing, and special games like Tetris 99 or Pac Man 99 all for a measley $20 (or lunch and dinner for a day).

Now you see why I'm not complaining.

@SeantheDon29

That was a wall of text, bro. I guess I gotta respond with a wall too.

Anyway, for $20 you get online service that does what you're paying for, by getting to play games online. As I said, you want what MS and Sony is offering currently, but at $20....okay, keep on complaining.

How do I know NSO will get better? They changed the NSO UI a few months ago to facilitate a timeline of classic games meaning all that old stuff like GameCube and N64 will eventually make it's way into the platform. Furthermore, my point is bolstered by the emulators used in Mario 3D All-Stars points to Nintendo having something in place to run those games when the time comes. BTW, y'all was whining about getting SNES games on NSO, now it's here, it's "no one cares about it" lol!

Street Fighter, Tekken, name any fighter you can think of all have issues online with lag, input delay, ect and some worse than others. It's not just relegated to Smash Ultimate, but y'all sure like to be dramatic and act like it does.

@SeantheDon29

The value is proportionate to the price IMO.

You're paying $20 a year, but you want a PSN or XBL type experience lol!

Don't get it twisted, when NSO gets better (and it will) the price will jump and you'll be complaining about that too.

As for Smash Ultimate, the online play is serviceable and works most of the time.

Playing fighting games online competitively (for money) sucks in general no matter what game it is.

@SeantheDon29

Who cares?

It's only $20 a year and I mostly got it to play Smash Ultimate online.

Everything else that they add is all gravy with that yearly price.

Do y'all UK bois really give a damn about this game? 🤔

Be truthful now.

It was obviously a joke, NintendoLife 🙄

All these people saying they would buy F-Zero now, yet didn't when it was at the peak of if it's foundation (GX).

This same fradulent behavior extends to the Metroid and Star Fox games too.

"I'll play it on GamePass" only works for AAA titles IMO.

The general XBOX community has no interest in something like Octopath Traveller or the attention span for indies regardless of what the internet says and the form factor for the Switch facilitates both better than people think.

And here's the kicker, most non Microsoft games have a shelf life on GamePass ensuring that you're never going to have the luxury to play everything you want to for the price of a GamePass subscription.

Oh! Okay....

(Goes back to not caring about Labo)

I'll buy this game as soon as it hits $19.99.

My question tho is which version of the game sold the most? 🤔

In other news:

The sun is hot!

If you shell out hundreds, even thousands of dollars for this game, you're dumb.

There's too many copies of this game out there to truly be super valuable.

However, I am aware that's there's a sucker born every minute.

Some dude, not a Nintendo employee, is telling everyone what Nintendo is supposedly thinking?

Lol Sureeee..

Or is it just that Nintendo compiled 3D All-Stars for Mario's 35th (and also as a way to test out their emulation tools) and plans to release the games separately at a later date?

Honesty, my opinion sounds more reasonable and most likely.

Also, let's make it be clear, Super Mario 3D All-Stars being delisted isn't "delisting popular Mario games".

3D All-Stars is a totally different SKU than say, a standalone version of Mario 64 or Sunshine for the Switch.

Is this game even the same thing that it was at the height of it's popularity?

It seems like they're throwing anything at a dart board and hopes it sticks.

@gergelyv

Right, just because Nintendo did it one way 10 years ago, that doesn't mean the same business model applies 10 years later.

On top of that, the landscape has changed a bit too.

Anyway, seems like this anniversary was a success, all things considered.

Don't have anything to complain about.

The event came and went, Nintendo said what the deal was beforehand, and I got everything I wanted within the generous timespan given.

If you're still complaining about this, time to move on with your lives.

That's fine by me!

That developer presentation managed to give us just enough information without revealing too much.

It was great!

This game looks ridiculous....

And I mean that in the best way possible.

People actually paid to revive this nonsense..😐

I respect this man alot, but going out after making a mobile game would be one of the lamest ways to leave the industry ever.

Something is going on.

I understand seats change all the time but within a short timespan like this?

@TheFrenchiestFry

There's literally a demo for you to find out instead of looking at footage.

Also, your thought about it isn't accurate.

The game looks great docked and undocked.

Anywhoo, I went all in and purchased the Monster Hunter Rise themed Switch, so imma enjoy that bad boy no matter what.

@ModdedInkling

Understood

@ModdedInkling

I'm pretty sure they don't need the modding community to give them ideas.

This thing will be nuked the moment Nintendo sees this no matter how the modder(s) try to spin it.

@Minecraft_Master

You sound foolish. Loan sharking?

If you couldn't get 3D All-Stars within that generous timeframe, maybe you have more issues to handle than videogames.

Oh no!

It's almost as if anniversaries aren't forever! 😱🤯

It is what it is.

I'm totally fine knowing that some of the things I wish the US has is only available in another country because that's how they operate and/or that's what the company wants to market in said country.

If you want it that bad, you'll find a way to get it.

I mean, we all know that these guys have a some sort of respect for each other behind the scenes.

I just think it's fun to think these companies compete like it's WWE or something.

I haven't worried about file sizes of Switch games ever since I purchased a 400gb SD card a year ago.

On top of that, my library is mostly physical, so I'm never in a jam.

I wanted Wind Waker from the very first time Nintendo debut it.

However, it was hilarious witnessing the meltdown of people who thought were were gonna get that CGI version of Zelda that was shown at Space World 2000 at the time.

In a way, Nintendo set the bar really high only for it to come crashing down AT FIRST, but the test of time did Wind Waker really well and now it's beloved like it should have been at the start.

The SN30 Pro+ is the best 3rd party controller I ever purchased, so I have no doubt in my mind that the Pro 2 will be wonderful.

Honestly, Balan Wonderworld should have been a mobile game.

That doesn't look appealing to me at all.....

This is one of the dumbest takes I've seen from Nintendo Life.

Like, if you don't finish a game, it's all good, but there's no need to "normalize" quitting games early.

You guys are sending a poor message just for clicks lol!

So my expectations for this game matches reality.

It's cool that this is on Switch, but if you have another way to play this game, go do that.

If you expected something different, I also sell bridges if you want one.

Atlus needs to do two things:

1) Release everything they can on the Switch.

2) Stop making these damn surveys!

Nah, I don't have Nintendo doing that.

Also, I'm not taking any "Switch Pro" rumors seriously until the Big N says something themselves.

@Anti-Matter

I was a PS fanboy back then too.

All I'm saying is that you're probably robbing yourself now by having that Anti-N64 stance considering you've never played it.

All the 3D platformers you played on Playstation after 1996 was influenced by Mario 64.

A bunch of action games used Z Targeting after it was introduced in Ocarina of Time.

Goldeneye made multiplayer shooting games viable on a console.

You're missing out on some key pieces of gaming history, my boi.

@nessisonett

Sega Saturn was dope, tho!

@Anti-Matter

You're kinda selling yourself short because some revolutionary stuff happened on that console that we think nothing of today.

Phill is cool with me, so I'm not gonna disrespect him.

All I gotta say is that alot of companies can't live or die by taking risks in their industry like Nintendo can.

@Devilsblight86

No, a majority of y'all wasn't.

He was well received because he was Sephiroth, but y'all started crying and moaning over Pyra/Mythra because it wasn't who you guys wanted or thought was cool enough.

Basically, you folks only hate sword characters when it's the ones you guys don't want.

Unfortunate, but it is what it is 🤷

So good that Bravely Default 2 opened strong.

I wonder what the digital sales are?
