I really hope they reach out to Monolith Soft to help with building a better open world. I loved Legends Arceus, they just need to iron out the issues.

Metroid Prime 4 fans: Those are rookie numbers.

10 years? I'm old, Gandalf.

Okay, i’m excited but why so damn early? At first I thought it made sense if the concert was happening in Japan, but it’s pre-recorded. Why not release it at a time that more people can experience it together?

I miss the score bonuses that were in up to Brawl. You could get bonuses for things but it would also let you know things about your playstyle (Bird of Prey meant you only attacked in the air, for example). It was a fun thing to look at after a match.

Good, there were WAY too many games last year from Square Enix. And most of them RPGs. They cannibalized their own sales by targeting the same demographics over and over again.

Something I think a lot of people forget about Golden Sun is that in terms of RPGs, it was a huge step into the RPG genre for kids of a certain age raised on Nintendo. You’d been through two generations of Pokemon on game boy and were probably growing out of it. The N64 didn’t have much in the way of RPGs (at least nothing noteworthy). Golden Sun dropped at the right time for those kids looking for something to take them deeper down the RPG rabbit hole.

Finally my profile pic pays off.

"Happy Anniversary! Here's some screenshots of some Mother 3 artwork and info about the characters. But you don't get to play it."

I’d really love for an HD port of the Wii version of punchout. I dug it up the other day and it was pretty damn fun.

I kind of forgot I submitted this. Thanks for the feature! Merry Christmas!

Sephiroth’s was so out of left field. I had no idea who it was for until the music started playing. But then the hype train was going full steam ahead.

Nintendo loves their star power (no pun intended), but I really think Link, if not Zelda as well, should be played by an unknown actor. I do like Mark Strong as Ganondorf.

Maybe we'll have a repeat of the SNES CD-Rom add on debacle. Nintendo will announce they're partnering with Sony, then will suddenly pivot to a different company, then Sony will go and make their own movie anyway.

I loved the mailbag sections of magazines so thank you for bringing this back.

In regards to the indies, I just recently read blood sweat and pixels, and with the amount of work that indie developers put into their game, I would understand if they didn’t want to do a sequel. They also may just not have any more ideas for another game, as they put everything they had into the first.

In regards to N64 sports games. To me, that was the golden age of sports games. NFL Blitz, Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey, etc. Unfortunately, around the turn of the millennium, publishers started to use “fun” and “realistic” interchangeably, and outside of a few outliers, we’ve lost that over the top arcade action that I loved.

It's probably the music issue. I don't think its to say that the Switch 2 isn't coming, but they'd want time to build hype before it is announced, and the holidays are not the time to do that.

"If you're wondering how he eats and sleeps, and other science facts, just repeat to yourself 'It's just a show, I should really just relax.' "

@EaglyBird Seems like Nintendo has no interested in running all these games in perpetuity. It does make sense that as new things come out, the audience for these will dwindle, but it's sad that they have no means of keeping them available, and they will become lost media.

Couldn't disagree more. Imagine having to lug around two handheld consoles on every trip if you want to play both older and newer games. Alternatively you can re-buy your entire library (at least what Nintendo will make available). That is a no for me.

Imagine what a treat New Donk City would have been if we hadn't seen it in the trailers!

Metroid Prime 5 gets announced, with a full gameplay trailer and a playable demo. Still no word on Metroid Prime 4.

I loved the ending....save for one thing... I wanted something that connects Ganondorf to Calamity Ganon. It's not even acknowledged. I was hoping it may have been pushed to DLC, but with news that nothing is in the works...I guess not.

I really thought they'd go the Darth Vader/James Earl Jones route and have his voice be done by AI in the future. Thanks for everything, Charles.

I've beaten it on Xbox and on PC, so probably not, but if it goes on sale (and the port is good quality) I might pick it up.

I feel like you could solve the Four Swords Adventure coop issue with splitscreen as well. HD widescreen displays would allow them to put 4 GBA sized screens vertically stacked alongside the 4:3 display of Four Swords Adventure onto the switch without any compromises in gameplay.

I can't stress enough how excited I am for Sea of Stars. I actually stopped playing the demo because I knew I'd seen enough to know I was in, and I want to know as little as possible going in.

My true preference is the PSP version, but I have played the pixel remaster and the 3D remake as well. I prefer sprites in general but I do see the appeal of the 3D version.

My cousin showed me it when I was younger. I was absolutely blown away. Then you realize it's just a never-ending water level and you're like, "Oh."

Can anyone tell me why Nintendo's re-releases of Mario All-Stars aren't the version that includes Super Mario World. For NSO, it makes sense because SMW is already on there (even though the All-Stars version is slightly different), but it should have been on the Wii release.

@tektite_captain Libraries usually try to sell the books they don't rent out. They don't just throw them away. However, they do this because space is a concern when it comes to physical media. The nice thing with things going digital is it's possible to save things without needing a large physical space to store it all. Games preserved digitally are the same way, they don't have to get rid of less popular things to make room for new things.

@tektite_captain And there are still copied of The Hobbit being printed and sold by the publisher today, but that doesn't stop your local library from having it available for you to check out. Preservation keeps things available to everyone.

Still waiting for a port/remake of Yoshi's Cookie.

I really hope Culex makes it back. Hell they could add Culex as a bonus boss in FFXIV as a cross-promotion!

@lemjor Everything is Detroit if it's in southeast Michigan. If it's southwest Michigan it's Grand Rapids. If it's neither, it's "up north".

I have tried going back to HM/SoS since playing Stardew but the problem is the QoL features of Stardew have spoiled me, and even the nostalgia I have for the old games isn't enough to keep me playing.

Shield + Octo Balloon = "Revali's slow ascent is now ready."

What data is this even based on? Sony just like: "Yeah people love our stuff and don't like our competitors. Citation: Us."

Disappointed that the orbital strike cannon isn't on there yet.

This seems like peak Yamauchi-era Nintendo. They did so many things that shot themselves in the foot in the name of "protecting" their games.

This was the same time the N64 came out and they insisted on using cartridges instead of CDs to avoid piracy, which caused a lot of devs to jump ship including Square Enix.

Dear @NintendoLife,

Please come to the castle. I have baked a cake for you.

Nintendo after finding out the movie leaked on Twitter: "We will never financially recover from this."

Owned the first one on NES but we had no idea how to play it. Never had a SNES (Parents said we "already have a Nintendo"). Was a Nintendo kid for years, so I missed out on most of the games. I ended up getting a SNES classic when they came out and tried out FF6, ended up loving it and when COVID happened I played through the whole series. FFI will always hold a place in my heart though.

@NintendoLife I think there may be an error/update to the game. You can actually change the EXP modifier to x0.5 in all six games.

@Doctor-Moo There's a 3D PC version that is essentially an enhanced port of the DS version. It's also on mobile with controller compatibility if you're into that.

Eh, so I never finished the Trial of the Master Sword, but after those stupid bokoblins sniped me with their bows from 6 stories up, 1 KM away, I got fed up and stopped trying. I've got other things to do besides this.

@Browny I don't think anything can make me suffer through FF2 again.

Between the FF Pixel Remasters, Advance Wars Remastered, Tears of the Kingdom, and now this sale, I'm going to have to sell a kidney. Any takers?

Happy they are finally coming out, sad that it's not this weekend, as I'm taking a long road trip and it would be nice to have something to play.

Uncharted 2 is my favorite Indiana Jones game, but sadly it's not on a Nintendo system.
