@Olliemar28 Yeah, altered remakes. Unless you think Rhythm Heaven Groove is something meaningfully different from the four other Rhythm Heaven games. Or Splatoon 3 is something other than Splatoon 2, altered.

Sh***y retort, by the way.

@Olliemar28 Are they though? I wouldn't call Nintendo sequels new games like most here would.
Splatoon 3, Raiders, Tomodachi, Rhythm Heaven, Mario Kart, Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime, AC, Pokemon, golf, tennis... these are all just iterations. Altered remakes. It's 90% of what the company is now. Most here love that but there's no true innovation left in the company, imo. Unless you count all the toys and non-game related fluff they hawk like the worst of corporate consumerism.

Believe it or not, I love my Switch but the games on it that truly push the pastime forward are the Spires, Sektoris, Blue Princes, etc. Nintendo is a perpetual time machine. Comfort food for the masses.

If you're into that, enjoy. But there's plenty of room for criticism from others who want it to be better.

I don't get it. That's not a lot of money for a company that size. They could probably pull 16 million from the ceo's bank account.

Now do Luxemburg!

Make better games.

Bosch is the new Dan.

I'm sorry, did I just read that a first party rhythm game has lag so bad that it can't be played while docked? Was that real?

Rockstar gave me a ***** sandwich!
Nintendo gave me a ***** sandwich with lettuce.
Thanks Nintendo!

"Nintendo didn't disappoint."

"It's difficult to call that direct anything but a triumph."

"It would be churlish to complain."

That's weak. Have a look at your own poll mate. People are allowed to be disappointed even if you command them not to be.

It stinks when things we love are corrupted and turn terrible. But however painful it might be, we should stop supporting terrible things.

I just want to see New.
I'm legit amazed at how many of you just want the same old s**t. Remakes, remasters, or blah blah part 7.

What have these companies done to you?

For me, it seems almost everything done by Nintendo now is underbaked and quickly abandoned in order to market some other flashy sugar-burst game that has no depth.

And this at the same time they're raising prices on everything? MKW is $80! And in five years, if you still own it, you can buy the dlc for another $30. Also pay for online.

With all that context you're damn right I'm going to compare it to cheaper, (some say)better games that came before it.

"I'll pass. There's better value out there."

"Not my cup of tea."

These poll options are terrible and don't seek true answers. They're for fluffing Nintendo.
How about, "I don't think this looks like a very good game."?

Mixed bag?
Reviews don't matter?
That's some heavy lifting this site is doing for Nintendo.

So many units buying so many units.

Pleeeease punctuate those quotes. 😄

Caves of Qud has finally arrived on western eshops.

This game is already on Switch and Switch 2 and it's usually discounted to a very reasonable price. According to Nintendo Life those versions, "looks and plays phenomenally well."

Are people just dying to give Ubisoft more money for the same thing over and over and over?

Is Nintendo circling the drain?

Makes a difference for about ten minutes, and then you'll never notice it again.

How can I possibly enjoy anything when somebody somewhere is saying something bad about it?!!!

I'm gonna guess a whole lot of games that we've already played long ago, but now they're even more expensive than before somehow.
Thank goodness for indie developers.

Gotta buy em all!
Just like you were programed to.

How do we know this is, "awesome"? Is there a review?
This reads like an ad.

There is no Switch 1.
There's a Switch and a Switch 2.

Palworld has entered the chat.

@awp69
Another overlooked gem.
I get that they can't all be reviewed, but how many posts do we need to see about Fantasy Life i?

They haven't "covered" anything. They mentioned it is available for purchase.
Great link work, Stan.

This is goofy.
If Nintendo Life is abandoning the Switch 1 then I'll be abandoning Nintendo Life.

I also appreciate and respect the positive energy. It's just that every post is pretty much the same. That's why I asked, cheers.

@JohnnyMind
Are you an AI bot?

Ohhhh, you think it's "sexy" that's offputting, not "brutale". How strange.

@JR150
I just thought I'd share my opinion.
Seems weird to me, that's all.
You're free to ignore my post as well.

Maybe if we all ignore each other we can be happier. :/

@Paraka
Literally?!!
What matters are good games. What makes you think Ninjala matters? Is it the amount of attention this site is giving it maybe?

Just in this past week, NL has given a better review to five seperate games than the one they gave Ninjala.
So why so much attention to Ninjala? Hmmm.

Those games are Colt Canyon, Missle Dancer, Urban Flow, Trials of Cold Steel III, and Mr. Driller: DrillLand.
If you're interested.

@JesWood13
As you implied, it's just an okay ftp game.
So why does it have a bazillion articles about it and an instant review?
So many countless, better games have gotten so much less attention on this site.

I'm pretty sure NL has to be getting paid to give this game so much attention.

Nope.

Nope.

Nope.

Only here for the foreskin reveal.

Don't know if it counts but I would put Curious Expedition in there. I've got way more than my money's worth out of that one.

The island gets worse in every way from your arrival on.
What was once an island paradise becomes more and more like your f****d up real world with every "addition", be it alive or inanimate.

All my digital games have been downloaded to a memory card, which means they're all physical now.
It's a miracle!

My game doesn't say "uchi" because I'm not in Asia.
I appreciate the lesson though. Knowledge is power.

But otherwise I'm not sure why I'm seeing "uchi" all over this post.

@GameOtaku "A physical game will last longer..."

Neither of us will know the truth but I will guarantee that you're wrong anyway lol.

I had an NES growing up and treated my Zelda cart like the gold it was made to look like. And then I couldn't believe that emulation was a thing, that I could play Zelda without a cartridge.
And now I know that the game will always be available to play long after the last physical golden cart has been sold for a million dollars and then accidentally stepped on.

Just like you can play anything worth a damn right now that was made 40 years ago, you'll be able to do the same in 40 years from now, and at a much smaller comparative storage size. I just saw an article here that said every N64 game would fit on one Switch cartridge. Maybe you have to be older to appreciate it, but that's the way this works.

Physical carts to me are nothing more than something to lose, step on, lug around, or have the dog eat. Meanwhile, I can take 100 digital games with me anywhere, to play with or without an internet connection. I get the emotional collector's appeal, but that's like collecting baseball cards for me, a kids romance.

What's not to love about a mind-numbing, addictive chore simulator?

It almost seems like a corporate experiment on how long they can string people along.
I'm sure there's lots of polls out there on just what our tolerance is in 2020.

@KillerBOB

You're absolutely correct. This post is 100 percent troll bait. And look at all the ac fans with their pitchforks out.

This is obviously another ridiculous peta gag and they've done some stupid things through the years, but Damien McFerran is just as gross for inciting all the hate we're reading right now.

Pissing people off to get attention is a big part of the world's problem right now, and it doesn't matter who's doing it.

Sorry to interrupt, everyone can carry on raging now.
