LOL. All the comments mention Unicorn Overlord as #1, but that has changed. Now its‘s SMTVV, i.e. a technically good game that still got a lot of flak for Atlus‘s business decisions surrounding it.

@Tom-Massey Hi. I only now got around to reading the review and it seems like it has not been amended yet?

@romanista Not quite. Futari means „2 people“. Not „the second“.

@Migoshuro I know I am late, but I also remember the JP cover vividly from German marketing. The magazine Funvision even had it as a poster and I put in on my wall back in the day. Ah, the memories.

Look, I also started with NES and GB, but putting their Tetris versions at or near the top of this list is ludicrous. People let nostalgia win here.

@construx This is the home console MySims Kingdoms, though, whereas you mention the DS one, which is a different game. Hence, they cannot „re-add“ it to this, as this game apparently never had Hungarian subtitles. Of course I feel like they should have included the handheld versions in this collection from the start, but yeah, unfortunately not.

Interesting, as I was at the store just a month ago in a biz trip. ^^
But yeah, the article should really clarify what the plastic wrap refers to and how and if it affects booster packs. Don’t just regurgitate, please.

Not a big fan of the original and this looks pretty a** to be honest…

Not best but worst 3D Mario.

@zool „The 8 score is one of those that is neither good nor bad.“

Are you confusing 8 for a 6?

Wow, all the saltiness in the comments…
I like articles like this, especially with the writer giving it their own spin. No need to just be „here is a video“.

@Athropos „They didn't sue Dragon Quest Monsters however. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that DQM was not a blatant attempt at making money from someone else's licence“
DQ V is the original monster taming game, so there‘s that.

I never played any of them. But I loved YDKJ back in the day on PC.
Thought for sure that it’s a UK company.

„Dragon Quest III is a hugely beloved game worldwide and in Japan in particular“
LOL, hyperbole much? Sure, in Japan it’s a phenomenon, and it probably has some fans in the US, but in Europe barely anyone ever cared for the NES entries, and „hugely beloved worldwide“?

They should rather make sure to have enough stock. Was super disappointed that all the big cushions were sold out around noon despite them only selling one per person. Ridiculous stock strategy that entirely soured my visit.

Let’s see if they at least bother releasing them in this tiny market called Europe. With Dragalia Lost they sure enough didn’t for whatever reason.

@TotalHenshin I know I am late, but: Nintendo decides on those. Nlife just regurgitates Nintendo‘s press releases.

@BandeeOfTheStars I think you can easily redownload delisted games via your download history.

Never liking those pixel covers. They are pointless as the back shows actual screenshots, and they just look corny.

Are we sure it's 2nd April? My German brain says it's 4th February.
Would Nintendo really use the weird US date system?

„There are more windows showcasing images from the game“
How so? It‘s 6 windows both on the EU and US box…
Also, you are not going to mention the terrible blurb about 2D and 3D on the US box or how only one cover actually contains a mask?

„Fans of old-school sports compilations may remember Tiny Toon Adventures: Wacky Sports Challenge on Super Nintendo.“

I do remember it, but on Mega Drive.

We already had them in Germany last week (maybe even earlier?).
Why is UK late here?

It wouldn’t even make a top 1,000 for me, let alone land in first place.
Most overrated game ever.

@Thomystic @SG2 @rjejr
I know I am late, but: Nintendolife doesn’t choose the highlights. They merely regurgitate Nintendo‘s press release, so Ninty chooses the highlights. NLife only adds their little touch in the article‘s sub-header.

@BANJO That's fair enough, though my Ngage looks just rough. The "Nokia" label above the screen is barely readable anymore, so I guess mine isn't worth all that much anymore. ^^
Fortunately, I have quite a few sealed games, and even some of the heavy hitters.
With Ngage, it always seems to me like there really are just 2 kinds of games in terms of values. You have the (just value-wise) junk like the ones you mentioned or Tony Hawk, Rayman, etc. and then you have games that fetch really nice money like Warhammer, the Atari Collections, Civilization, etc.
Very little inbetween.
And at least from my European POV the two regional exclusives (NCAA in the US and Sega Rally in Australia) are quite valuable as well.

@BANJO Oh, is it? I was under the assumption nobody really cares for it nowadays, except for a few pricey games like Shadowkey.

@BANJO A fellow Ngage collector? Nice. I also have a full set. Love that little device. Used to be my actual phone for a couple of years. Even took it to E3 2005, playing Pathway to Glory on the bus to the exhibition center.

"anyone who owned an NES or a SNES will have likely had multiple Sunsoft games in their collection"
I had a sizeable collection for both systems as a kid and didn't even own a single Sunsoft game on either. Their SNES output was hardly anything to write home about...

I love 80s & 90s anime style, but the JP cover looks just super cheap, flat and boring. Plus, it doesn’t fit the series at all, as it was always leaning heavily into 80s Hollywood action flick aesthetics.

Chrono Trigger getting overrated once again?

@Ryu_Niiyama Not sure what game you are thinking of, but Braid was never on WiiU.

@X68000 What? That’s quite an exclusive opinion, there.
Usually, Saturn is better for shooters, yeah, but not in case of Donpachi and Dodonpachi.

@Serpenterror
„That's cause the t at the end of Namcot stands for Tengen. Tengen was not just a subsidiary of Atari but Namco as well which is why there's unofficial versions of those games“

None of that is true.

Nearly got a job at Itochu Germany earlier this year.
Nintendo would be even better of course. ^^

„Nintendo has just added four more games to the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive app“

Four?

The saltiness in the comments section is amazing. People really expect e.g. a more-or-less direct port of an admittedly great game from 20 years ago to be nominated for GOTY, but they complain about a meaty DLC being nominated? If that DLC was released separately, then suddenly it would magically be ok?

@Farts_Ahoy „The worst part seems to be the lack of respect for his superiors telling him to stop.“
Nowhere in the article does it say anything like that.

EU easily as it shows how you can alter nouns in fun ways. That’s what the game is about. US cover is ok but generic.

@JohnnyMind When it‘s slated to open in late 2024, you expect them to present it in early 2025? Why would they present it after opening?

I like the drawing style of the JP cover, but not what they did with it. Not a pretty cover by any means. I prefer the Western one as is at least shows the mix of realism and Mario wackiness subtly in its background composition.

@Not_Soos „I think most of us would agree Superstar Saga is a masterpiece“
Back when SS released, I had played RPG and Paper before, and I was utterly disappointed in SS by comparison. To me it was ok-ish, I guess, but nothing more.

@PKDuckman I know I am late, but: There were even four of those collections. Just, 2 of them were only released in Japan. Love them so much I bought them all.

@Aiodensghost You can still download any 3DS game that you bought before.

@Not_Soos
I know I am late, but:
„3D World felt like the worst of both worlds to me, where it didn't fully commit to being either a linear platformer or an open sandbox; it was just an awkward middle ground to me“
That’s exactly why I never liked Mario Galaxy 1. It had plenty of open spaces that were just empty. It often felt so pointless and sloppily designed.
Galaxy 2 fortunately rectified this, by really leaning into being more focused and linear.

Last time I trusted this site with their recommendation of a „very British game“, I ended up buying Horace, and yeah, that was a blunder…

@CupidStunt Hahaha, sounds like you are dressing up perfectly for the occasion.
I will be there on 11/Nov with my wife and son.
Enjoy your day there. It’s surely a magical place, and I can’t wait.

@CupidStunt It‘s finally open and I got the tickets! They still seemed to have tickets for plenty of dates available.

Wow, the green US cover is really ugly. Easy win for Europe.

@CupidStunt Open purchases for Oct and Nov are still not open for me. It still says „preparing“. Is it different for others?
