@gaga64 It's been on retail shelves ever since November.

@OorWullie Oh Boy. Complaining about typos, but calling them "typo's"?

Why is this labeled as news rather than rumour? You do know that this site has such a tag, right?

"Nintendo, €59.99 / £49.99 for pre-orders until 15.03.2018, 23:59 local time Regular price €59.99 / £49.99)"

That doesn't seem right

@Hotfusion Actually, your first comment is rather hard to read, whereas the article is perfectly fine. The headline mentions "Switch demand", not "demand for the Switch console". As such it refers to anything Switch related that Nintendo produces, which also includes software.

@Razer What are you even trying to tell me? Your post consists of three separate points without rhyme or rhythm and I fail to see any "rose tinted glasses" in my post that merely stated that Amazon needs to die. I'd be wearing rose tinted glasses if I'd be gushing about how great something used to be. Instead, I am criticizing a company. Also, (to quote you) "think": You are trying to argue that necessarily a bigger company has to come and kill it off? No, we just need to stop buying there. That is all it takes. Also, "think": You are arguing that in the beginning only bigger shops existed before the smaller indie shops came around? But you just said only bigger shops can follow up on smaller shops. Already killing off your own argumentation within seconds. Also, "think": There were bigger shops before indie shops? So. What is your point? They are/were still better than amazon. So what is your point considering I am criticizing amazon? Also, "think": Amazon fills a need for people? So do other things. Colonizing filled a need for people. Killing fills a need for some people. Sure, these are over-the-top examples, but the point remains: Just because something improves one person's life, it doesn't warrant its bad effects. People buying on amazon are just selfish. Also, if you need to buy online, it doesn't have to be at amazon. This isn't a discussion "online vs brick and mortar". It's a discussion "amazon vs non-amazon".

@Yas From your reply I'd assume you to be quite a lot younger than I am. Your point is merely that amazon makes your life more comfortable? Wow. Amazon is an evil company exploiting both book publishing houses and their own employees. So I gladly buy my stuff on a trip to the city, never buying from them. There is more to this world than you saving a few minutes at other people's cost.

@JHDK Amazon is the one that needs to die.

@TurboTEF Oh, ok, I see. I wasn't aware of that.

No link to the stikbold review?
And why put the Kirby demo simply under the "3DS shop" label instead of a dedicated separate "demo" label as this site has done for years?

"Unique USP"? USP means "unique selling point", so it's a "unique unique selling point"?

Also: " the desire to capatilise on"
Capitalize?

@Anti-Matter Oh, ok. I see. Thanks for the clarification.

@Anti-Matter Again: What is the difference from bleeding in boxing, which you seem to not mind?

@TurboTEF Last Blade is on Steam.

@Anti-Matter Boxing also leads to bleeding and serious injuries, so what gives?

@Eigotaku Thanks. Your reply shows me that not only did you not respect your readers by at least attempting to write a proper review, but also you not respecting my constructive criticism.
By the way: Happy New Year is written in capital letters.

@Dom: Thanks for your reply.

@Eigotaku
"winning his damsels heart" Damsel's
"If a team mate is knocked out, you are able to bring them back" A team mate, but bring THEM back? Bad grammar.
"come in to play" Come INTO play. Your neighbor can come IN TO play.
"more advanced moves such a catching" Such as.
"in the games multiplayer modes" Game's.
"its best to snap the Joy-Con off" It's.
"whomever you're team mate is" Even two mistakes in one! It's WHOEVER here, not whomever, and it's YOUR.
"a la bomb karts" It's à la.
"trying to deplete your opponents beach ball" Opponent's or opponents'.
"allows you to lib rivals crates" Rival crates or the rival's crates or the rivals' crates. You've got three possibilities, yet go for a wrong one.
"but its perfectly possible" It's.
"It's accessible yet deceptively deep twin stick-based mechanics" And now ITS. Are you doing this on purpose?
"Striking a great balance between cooperative and competitive play styles, It's combination of charming presentation and witty retro humour are sure" What the? Why is there a comma right in the sentence? And why is the I in It's capital? And why is it ITS instead of IT'S again?! You're finishing off the review with three mistakes combined into one.
Why doesn't anybody proofread these things?

@Twitch1 What? Don't you dig "R-Typepe[sic] Returns"?
Also, this is just about the first time I see anybody calling Super R-Type "excellent".

@impurekind If anything, Nintendo showed foresight by not including such. Why would Nintendo significantly raise the production cost of every single unit for a feature that only a fraction of buyers would make use of? Doesn't make any sense at all.
Implementing a cartridge slot has nothing to do with a good business decision. It is just about you wanting something for yourself.

@retro_player_22 What Multiplayer are you talking about?

Honestly? The review mentioning Zuma (and not even the original Magnetica), but not Luxor? This game is a straight clone of Luxor. Not of Zuma.
What do reviewers these days even know?

@iLikeUrAttitude Only it doesn't suck. Learn to read, man.

@daveisbored Thank you for the review. It's rare to see one on here that goes into such detail covering the differences between different versions of a game. Something usually severely lacking here at NLife.

@Mommar Turtles in Time better than SoR2? Not even close.

"These fights entertain with plenty of hoping between planes"

So...what are you hoping for? Or maybe you meant hopping?
I'm seriously fed up with how every single review on this site as of late is full of mistakes auch as this.

Seeing the tagline, I loved the Water Temple. The Fire Temple was terribly designed, though, with tons of back-tracking.

@SayGuh Congratulations. Your post is the most narrow-minded and downright dumbest post of 2017.

@Masurao Not true in this case. Backers complaining after a backed game fails to get completed are one thing. But in this case it appears like the team never really meant to use the money for the game they promised and instead used it on another project, which is most certainly against the kickstarter rules.

@JayJ Problem is: The kickstarter didn't fail. It met its goals, so people gave money for the development of Dead Phoenix, yet the money was apparently instead used to work on Tiny Metal. So people funded game A bit instead got game B, which indeed is quite the scam.

@PlayStationswitc Ok. Thanks for the reply

Are there different COs each with their own abilities, like in Advance Wars?

@MeloMan well, neither of those games is bullet hell.

@bones Just delete them instead of apologizing...

"even for me it's kind of mystifying, yet kind of relatable, how a game like Neon Chrome is rated 95% positive in Steam based on 281 user reviews, yet its Switch Metacritic average is 67"

If this is "mystifying" to the guy, and he is responsible for PR and marketing, then he simply can't be good at his job. Sorry.
"95% positive reviews on Steam" doesn't say anything about how highly any of those users would rate the game, except for a majority apparently awarding it >50%. I highly doubt ANYBODY would rate ANY of their games a 95%. So probably most of those reviews are somewhere around 50%-70%. So, there you go, Jaako. Not exactly rocket science.

"Poly Bridge is bridge building simulator with a lot of charm"

Four words into the first sentence and it's already clear this guy doesn't proofread his article.

Also, this is $15?! It appears to do absolutely nothing to differentiate itself from dozens of games that had the exact same premise and structure and still gets an 8, which translates to "very good"? Holy moly.

The very same tagline as for the review of Snow Moto Racing Freedom?

Can anyone please tell me what this sentence in the review is supposed to mean:
"The artillery is pretty stock standard, from close-ranged shotguns to distance shooting snipers and everything in between."

It sounds as if the reviewer believes "artillery" to just be synonymous with "weapons" which would be rather ridiculous. He appears to be thinking of "shotguns" as a subcategory of "artillery", which, again, would be hilarious.

@lillith So...according to your logic, is a 5 mediocre or poor now?

@SBandy I don't want to live in a world where anybody would consider an 8 "solid".

@Expa0 You "believe"? It says so right in the review's second paragraph...

@crackafreeze
1. Context?
2. So does the European eshop. For months already.

@MeloMan The Genre did return at that time. Just look at PC gaming in Europe and you will find TONS of p&c adventures from that era.
Also, the Wii and DS also DID get a lot of classic P&C adventures. The Switch isn't anywhere close yet.

@Anti-Matter No. Just follow the link in the article to understand the meme..

@Spoony_Tech What I was getting at is that in comment #26 you had written this:
"I would liken it more to a gritty detective movie or tv show set in the 1040's then anything close to Ace Attorney."

It was a typo there (you wrote 1040's instead of 1940's) and I instantly visualised a "gritty detective show" in said 1040's, which would be just awesome to have.

@Spoony_Tech Set in the "1040's"? Now THAT is something I'd be down for.

@GrailUK what first game?
This is the only Sparkle on any Nintendo platform.

@dystome I've already seen the retail version of that MX game in various shops across Germany, so fret not: It's been released.

@zipmon I agree with the various praise your review has gotten in the comments. It really is a wonderful read and unfortunately somewhat stands out among many other reviews here.

@BulbasaurusRex I had contacted the staff the other day in this subject and from their reply it seems like they are pretty much through with reviewing each and every eshop game due to the massive Switch release lists as of recent combined with a lack of staff.
Too bad, as that is basically what made nlife stand out to me and apparently to others as well.
Still waiting on a review of that last Kunio-kun game for example...

@8-Bit_Zorldo And how would you want to control a game such as Warcraft 3 on the Switch? Wouldn't make much sense.

@Eigotaku

So...on one hand you call yourself part of "older folk like this reviewer", only to start your review with something as bollucks as
"Ever since the first 'You Don't Know Jack' game arrived on PC in 2011"?

YDKJ started way back in 1995. In 2011 it only came back after something of a hiatus.
