You mean the fire bars and lava pits wouldn't be enough to stop them?

day one purchase for me

The song choices are all hits, but... Where in the world is Life Will Change? That's the one song I would've expected to be there above all others.

This is a really well-written review. Thanks, Gavin!

@retro_player_22 And then everyone clapped

Keep grasping at those straws, people.

Thanks Ninty Life

My odd ball dream picks for Smash DLC:

1. Crono from Chrono Trigger. At least showed up on Nintendo systems twice, right?

2. Will never happen, but some real-life Nintendo rep like Miyamoto, Reggie, or Sakurai himself. I would so main Miyamoto.

3. The little fake Kraid from Super Metroid that gets taken out with one super missle.

Idea: add more systems than NES.

No Sunshine? An odd decision.

Smash Ultimate wasn't even in its planning stages until around the time of the Smash 4 DLC, according to a Famitsu interview with Sakurai.

So, no. This is bull.

@ClassSonicSatAm Dude. No one, no game dev or company, owes you or anybody else content in a game just because you ask for it. It would be nice if we all got what we wanted, but there is absolutely nothing "unfair" about the situation.

And given Sakurai's back-breaking work on the series, you can't be serious saying he isn't working to give fans what they want...

This is really a shame to me, mostly on the grounds that I can't quite "own" VC games the same way I did before. I'd rather be able to lay down cash for some games that I can always have regardless of an online service, the access to which won't disappear if I unsubscribe from the service. You can argue that paying that fee IS the way to own them, but it isn't the same as actually owning a singular product.

Can anybody here say anything about the music? Really curious how that came out

but y tho

Frankly unrelated specifically to the item in the article, but just to give my stance on crowdfunding:

I've crowdfunded only one project. That project was Mighty No. 9. I got frickin McDuped.

This looks awesome! But would it hurt them to add a little animation to the overworld model?

@Sakura And also, well put.

@Sakura Thank you for pointing out the pharmaceutical side of this. My main disagreement in this is the fact that top psychologists in the field admit to the manufacturing of certain "disorders" in the International Classification of Diseases in order to promote the sale of more drugs. Those drugs are marketed and prescribed in the name of "healing" that disorder. Often, these drugs can actually exacerbate an ailment or create new ones.

In moving forward with mental health treatment, I think we can all agree that this practice should be routed out so we can better trust the solutions and explanations offered by organizations like WHO.

The return of more traditional dungeons into a BotW-style game would be beautiful.

And for God's sake... Where was the hookshot?

Dear Nintendo Life,

For Christmas, please, PLEASE make us a live action video of Tom regenerating into Dom à la Doctor Who.

Thank you.

Lanning: New 'n' Salty

Worried about the lack of stability.

Little time to get hyped? If anything, knowing this beauty is a only a couple months away has got me on overdrive!

Huh. Still feels really weird that this exists, but this is something I'd give a chance. This looks pretty fun!

Already said it before, but HELL YES I'm buying this. Those who think this is useless either don't have or don't see the need for what is basically a budget New 3DS XL.

Absolutely buying one of these.

For those who think this is a dumb idea, realize that I and likely many others have held out on buying a New 3DS XL because of price and ownership of the previous model. Now that there's a budget option with the same tech that makes amiibo usable and SNES games playable, I'm pleased as punch.
