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.

First party: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Third Party: SSX Tricky

One thing I would love to see on a new switch is where the joy-cons (or whatever the new controllers are called) could attach both on the sides of the screen, as well as the top and bottom, to allow the tablet to be oriented vertically, allowing for it to play DS games in the manner in which they were designed (and possibly 3DS games)

I started reading the headline and got so panicked in the half second it took me to finish reading it. Congratulations though, and Happy Birthday to a legend!

@Dpullam For real, I just let a bunch of my platinum points expire because the US rewards are always complete garbage.

I remember buying a book called Final Fantasy: Memory of Herores, that was supposed to be an adaptation of the first 3 final fantasy games. These games are pretty sparse on lore and details, so I was really looking forward to a book that fleshed out the details of the stories. I would have even settled for a straight adaptation of the games. Instead, it cuts OUT details from the game, telling a bare bones story that reads more like a book report from the game, rather than an adaptation. The first game is told over about 20 pages, the second is a little longer. The third one has the most, but still cuts out most events from the game. I'd really like to see some of these older games MORE fleshed out in book form, as they could really expand the lore of what was possible in the early days of gaming.

I see these all over the shelves at my local stores (for perspective, Harry Potter and Star Wars sets are usually in limited stock. I guess I want them to stop with Mario and release the Zelda sets!

Watch Nintendo ask him removed from any sequels because this doesn't jive with their family friendly attitude.

@Eggolor Do you have a source on your information on Kensuke Tanabe? I'd be very curious to read up on it.

@Bunkerneath Look I'm not going to pretend there's not shovelware on the Switch, but its been a problem since the Wii. It's just more noticeable now because all digital games are in one place on the Switch, rather than being broken up by Virtual Console and Wiiware.

Mia is wielding a sword in the art in both. In the game she can only wield staves and maces. Worst boxart ever.

But for real this is one of my favorites, and was my phone wallpaper for a bit.

Yoshi’s Cookie doesn’t get enough love because most people just played the single player. I stand by that it had one of the best two player modes of any puzzle game of the era.

2% of poll responses were from Space Pirates.

I just binged this with every minute of free time I had in the last 2 days, and I have to say, it's one of the finest remasters I have ever played.

Here we go again...
