@kal_el_07241 I can't speak for Pokopia, but Animal Crossing? Absolutely. Tarantulas and scorpions can be a literal pain to catch. More to the point though, those games are completely upfront about what they are. Just from watching the trailer, I could tell Yoshi and the Mysterious Book's running and jumping seemed similar to Yoshi's Island, but it also had the egg throwing from Yoshi's Story, which I tend to prefer. The problem was that nothing seemed to pose a threat. It just seems like Yoshi was exploring the wildlife, and there was little else to it than that. My friend who did buy the game basically confirmed my suspicions that the game has no platforming challenge whatsoever.
@Oldstalk Sure, but that's not what I want in a Yoshi game. The Yoshi series has had puzzle elements, but they were never the main focus, and I prefer it that way. I'm also not very fond of games that are too relaxed. Kirby games typically strike that balance between relaxed and fun, with post game stuff typically being more up my alley, but I can never finish Epic Yarn because it puts me to sleep. All this is to say that I'm aware that this is a me problem, and other people will get enjoyment from this game, but it is not what I'm looking for when I think of a follow-up to Yoshi's Island.
@Shade_Koopa You joke, but that's actually something I want for the series. Nintendo could do a reimagining of Star Fox 2 that plants seeds for the rest of the series, like Peppy retiring as a pilot and acting as Mission Control from aboard the Great Fox, Falco leaving the team to explain his absence in Adventures (but getting his own campaign that goes into the reasoning for it), and Miyu and Fay taking their place.
Then if we ever get a Star Fox 3, it could take place after Assault, and actually push the narrative forward, without the multiple ending shenanigans from Command. This way, the Star Fox team ends up being Fox, Slippy, Falco, Miyu, Fay, and Krystal, with Peppy and ROB on the Great Fox as support.
Obviously, Nintendo would release Adventures and Assault on Nintendo Classics to reintroduce those games into the timeline.
@Yoshi3 I think the non linear approach was done right in ALBW, and BotW had some problems with it, which was to be expected as the first open world Zelda. TotK has no excuse. It just added more padding. To sum it up, ALBW ran with the Pegasus Boots so BotW could awkwardly climb, and TotK flipped its Air Bike over before it could take off.
Another missed opportunity to bring back the scrapped co-op. Just buy the PC version and install the co-op mod. Me and my brothers had a blast playing it together!
That Arcanine looks sick! Arcanine's one of my favorite Pokémon, so if the price is similar to the Eevee set, I'll be picking this one up for sure! EDIT: Okay, so it apparently has twice as many pieces as the Eevee set, so it'll probably cost upwards of $110... That's a tougher sell, but I may still save up for it and buy it eventually.
I originally built the Breath of the Wild Great Deku Tree, and it was shortly after I 100% completed BotW for the first time. But with the release of The Final Battle set, I decided to follow a guide to deconstruct the BotW Great Deku Tree and rebuild it into the Ocarina of Time Great Deku Tree. It does look good having the beginning of Link's journey and the end of it next to each other!
Considering the PlayStation 5 had price increases ranging from $100-150, this could've been worse. I may still end up buying one for my brother for Christmas, if the budget allows for it anyway. He lives in another state, and I would really like to use GameShare with him so that I don't have to pay for multiple copies of the same Switch games.
I'm excited for Splatoon Raiders and Star Fox, and I'm being cautiously optimistic about Pokémon Winds and Waves. I'll wait to see some actual gameplay, but The Pokémon Company does not have a good track record when it comes to QA.
I bought mine early on solely for the purpose of playing Switch 1 games with a stable frame rate. There aren't many switch 2 games yet that I would call system sellers, except for Pokopia, but Kirby Air Riders, Splatoon Raiders, and Star Fox are definitely set to be my favorite Switch 2 games released so far!
On one hand, it is extremely cool to see the VS mode evolve from a 4-player free-for-all to a 4v4 team battle.
On the other hand, just like the 3DS version, it looks like we won't see the Landmaster in this mode, nor the on-foot cannoneers, which is a shame because I enjoyed unlocking that option, even if it wasn't as good as either of the vehicles.
They're damned if they do, damned if they don't... And that's just if we're just talking about the investors, if we're talking about the consumers, they're even more damned if they do, so they may as well just don't.
This probably brings it up to speed with the PS4 version, running at a silky smooth 60fps, whereas the switch version only ran at 30 FPS. I hope that's all this is, and not added content, because otherwise we're probably looking at a PS5 version as well, and I imagine people who bought the original version and Definitive Edition on PS4 won't be happy that a third version is dropping.
Always cool to see another Shovel Knight crossover. I'm still waiting for a physical release of RotND though.
Also, what the heck happened to Shovel of Hope DX? I get they probably won't release it until after Mina the Hollower is out, but I'd at least like to know if it's going to include all the crossover fights from the PS/PC versions of the game.
This was such a cool reveal, but it's never going to have any significance in the games. Ever since Mario Galaxy, her role in the story of Mario games has never extended beyond "and she was there too!" and I don't think that will change. It was great to see two of MatPat's theories debunked though, being that Peach is Rosalina's mother and that Fox's legs are made of metal, which of course they aren't, he just wears metal boots. I will always celebrate MatPat being wrong!
Considering the previous updates included Splatoon 3: Side Order and Animal Crossing, we've been eating good. Nothing as big as the Paper Mario: TTYD update, which also was followed by a week with no updates, but still pretty good!
Dang a lot of soundtracks I wanted have been getting added lately. We just got the rest of Splatoon 3's music last week, and now we're getting the original Animal Crossing soundtrack!
Anyway, obligatory "Now do Xenoblade" comment.
EDIT: I didn't know that Doubutsu no Mori e+ got its own music, and as cool as it is to see it here, they botched the title screen music. It fades out halfway through, probably around the same time the game faded to black, like the international version did, but I think it's a safe bet that just like that version, the full song was still on the disc, since you can find the full song on YouTube.
It's just odd to me that they included the full title screen music for the international version, but not for the e+ version.
I personally don't want to see the same game remade over and over and over again. I'd much rather have remakes of A Link Between Worlds and Four Swords Adventures. Both of those games can only be played on one system.
It's about time! I've been waiting for this since the app came out with Splatoon 3's OST. Shame the Inkopolis Plaza/Square versions of the Hotlantis theme got snubbed though...
Anyway, now do Xenoblade.
And give the app a widget to control playback from the home screen.
@Mgalens I would definitely place Regina & Mac below Macbat 64, but only slightly. It has just as many stages as Banjo-Kazooie, but you need to play picross to unlock each one, so if you're not a fan of picross, you'll probably want to cheat (the game has a button that automatically removes any wrong squares you filled, so just fill them all in and then press that button). Still, I enjoyed the game enough to 100% complete it, but the final stage is some of the most blatant trial and error nonsense I've ever played, so I wouldn't recommend trying to go for 100%.
I've played most of the games in this collection, and Toree is definitely the star of the show. Her games are fun speed-based levels, but I am docking points from this collection for not including the demo for Toree Saturn. The demo is more of a companion piece to the game itself and offers its own exclusive holiday-themed level. Regina & Mac World and Beeny are 2D platformers, with the latter having an unlockable preview level for Super Kiwi 64.
The other games are simple 3D platforming collect-a-thons, and they are very simplistic in their design. These are budget indie games; don't go in expecting anything as polished as Banjo-Kazooie. If you're willing to look past that, they are charming little experiences. I certainly wouldn't call them trash, as some others might.
If you like the Toree games though, you should consider picking up Lunistice, another hidden gem on the eShop.
Toree 3D is great, but the most recent entry in the series, Toree Saturn is easily my favorite. Plus, Johnny Gioeli, the singer from Crush 40, makes an appearance in the soundtrack. The demo may as well be another game, since it's basically the holiday special levels.
@FawfulsFury I saw that! I wasn't entirely sure if that's what it was because it had been so long since I played SPM, but that still made me smile because someone behind the scenes remembers that game! ...I do find it a bit unsettling that Rosalina keeps a children's storybook right next to a prophetic tome that warns of the end of days... I'm guessing Mari read that book by mistake.
If Nintendo actually has a case, then they don't need to create new patents to use against PocketPair. Either way, I say they ditch this lawsuit and go after Pocket Game instead, because they're actually stealing from multiple companies, as well as small artists online.
I always thought this was one of the dumbest memes in the Star Fox community. That tends to be how I feel about most memes created by MatPat, including "ERMAGERD NESS IS SANS!"
I feel like if we do get an Ocarina of Time remake, it's something that I won't be extremely excited for because we've had a remake of Ocarina of Time on the 3DS. Why not a remake of the original Legend of Zelda? Think about it, Nintendo has remade Super Mario Bros. twice on GameBoy Color and Super Nintendo, Metroid got a remake on the GameBoy Advance, Kirby's Dreamland had its levels repurposed on the Super Nintendo, and Pokémon Red and Blue were remade on the Game Boy Advance, and Pokémon Yellow on the Switch. The Legend of Zelda technically does have a remake on the Super Famicom Satellaview, but you can't play it officially. I think a remake of the first Legend of Zelda would be much more interesting than another Ocarina of Time remake.
I'd rather they release the soundtrack for the original Animal Crossing... Or better yet, some freaking Xenoblade music! Remember Xenoblade, Nintendo?!
@Arkz Here we are! NintendoLife has reported on multiple TV shows, and in the same article no less!
There's Captain Laserhawk, which is a show based on several Ubisoft owned properties, but never had a game that took place in this series' universe, except for a blockchain flop. Even so, many of the franchises represented have been available on Nintendo systems to some degree... Though more than likely they were poorly optimized and you were probably better off playing them on PS4/PS5.
There's Devil May Cry, another series that has not been on Nintendo systems before the switch, at least that I'm aware of. Dante and Virgil don't even show up in any of the Viewtiful Joe games on Nintendo systems, but the trilogy at least did make its way to Switch.
Then there's even Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which is based on a comic series that got a video game adaptation that was only recently brought to the Switch.
All of these series have something to do with Nintendo, and it doesn't matter if you agree with me or not, the facts don't lie.
Oh. Also the Netflix Tomb Raider series was reported on in that article, so congrats, another instance of them talking about a Tomb Raider show for you to seethe over. You're welcome.
If I could concede one point, it's that because these are all series that are available on multiple platforms, that articles like this would better fit Time Extension, since articles on that site can appear on multiple Hookshot Media sites as well.
@Arkz I can read just fine, but is your head okay? You seem to have short-term memory loss. You were literally asking what this has to do with Nintendo, to which people are rightfully clowning on you for. Probably shouldn't put your ignorance on full display if you can't handle criticism.
I'll say it real slow for you, even if that doesn't translate into text at all: The Tomb Raider series on Prime is based on a multi-platform video game series, and Nintendo Switch is one of those platforms that the videogame series is available on. NintendoLife has also reported on the Castlevania series on Netflix, and I'm sure there are other examples I can find if I dig around a bit.
@Arkz Is reading your strong point? You seem to have ignored the second paragraph altogether. The series, whether you like it or not, is relevant to Nintendo fans because the first six games in the series and the Lara Croft Collection are on the Switch. Tomb Raider is now a multi-platform franchise, and a TV show based on that franchise will be posted about here, and you don't get a say in it because it's not your website. You have a problem with this? Go make your own Nintendo news website with blackjack.
Also, you're the one who decided you wanted to engage with this article and leave your opinions here. No one is saying you're not allowed to do that, but don't post your opinions if you can't stand to see people clowning on them. Basic internet etiquette.
@Arkz Oh yeah, the series has historically never been on Nintendo systems...
This is from 2000 by the way, and is one of thirteen releases the series has had on Nintendo systems, including GameBoy, GBA, GameCube, DS, Wii, and the Switch.
And even without all that, your argument still falls apart because there are people who only own Nintendo systems that are finally getting into the Tomb Raider series because of the recent remasters. There is a non-zero percent chance that those same people will be interested in this show. Just because you're not interested in it doesn't mean it isn't relevant to Nintendo fans.
@Arkz That's because Tomb Raider is a video game series first and foremost. Lego is not a video game series. It has video game series, but it wasn't one at its conception. It's like saying Goku should be in Smash Bros. because he's technically a video game character.
@Gabe250 Perhaps I am being too quick to be negative about this, because it's hard to tell how important any of these purchases will be. How important will box space be in a game that doesn't require you to catch Pokémon? Will the annual membership unlock the music and missions permanently, or am I only allowed to access them for as long as I'm a member? How difficult is it to unlock tickets without the starter pack? Depending on how Nintendo answers these questions, the monetization could be harmless or absolutely rancid. Considering this is the same series that has poorly optimized mainline games that are rarely ever given enough development time, with DLC announced before they're even out, forgive me for being a little skeptical, but I don't think it's completely unwarranted.

I'll say it real slow for you, even if that doesn't translate into text at all: The Tomb Raider series on Prime is based on a multi-platform video game series, and Nintendo Switch is one of those platforms that the videogame series is available on. NintendoLife has also reported on the Castlevania series on Netflix, and I'm sure there are other examples I can find if I dig around a bit.
Re: Tomb Raider Series Pauses Production After Sophie Turner Suffers "Minor Injury"
@Arkz Is reading your strong point? You seem to have ignored the second paragraph altogether. The series, whether you like it or not, is relevant to Nintendo fans because the first six games in the series and the Lara Croft Collection are on the Switch. Tomb Raider is now a multi-platform franchise, and a TV show based on that franchise will be posted about here, and you don't get a say in it because it's not your website. You have a problem with this? Go make your own Nintendo news website with blackjack.
Also, you're the one who decided you wanted to engage with this article and leave your opinions here. No one is saying you're not allowed to do that, but don't post your opinions if you can't stand to see people clowning on them. Basic internet etiquette.

@hol_up We can get Sora in Smash, but not Donald and Goofy? Scam.
Re: Tomb Raider Series Pauses Production After Sophie Turner Suffers "Minor Injury"
@Arkz Oh yeah, the series has historically never been on Nintendo systems...
This is from 2000 by the way, and is one of thirteen releases the series has had on Nintendo systems, including GameBoy, GBA, GameCube, DS, Wii, and the Switch.
And even without all that, your argument still falls apart because there are people who only own Nintendo systems that are finally getting into the Tomb Raider series because of the recent remasters. There is a non-zero percent chance that those same people will be interested in this show. Just because you're not interested in it doesn't mean it isn't relevant to Nintendo fans.
Re: Tomb Raider Series Pauses Production After Sophie Turner Suffers "Minor Injury"
@Arkz That's because Tomb Raider is a video game series first and foremost. Lego is not a video game series. It has video game series, but it wasn't one at its conception. It's like saying Goku should be in Smash Bros. because he's technically a video game character.
Re: Pokémon Champions First Details About Price Reportedly Surface
@Gabe250 Perhaps I am being too quick to be negative about this, because it's hard to tell how important any of these purchases will be. How important will box space be in a game that doesn't require you to catch Pokémon? Will the annual membership unlock the music and missions permanently, or am I only allowed to access them for as long as I'm a member? How difficult is it to unlock tickets without the starter pack? Depending on how Nintendo answers these questions, the monetization could be harmless or absolutely rancid. Considering this is the same series that has poorly optimized mainline games that are rarely ever given enough development time, with DLC announced before they're even out, forgive me for being a little skeptical, but I don't think it's completely unwarranted.
