@meijin3 Admittedly my comment was purposely provocative to spark a reaction from the US audience. Sorry.

I think whichever we grew up with will be the best in our eyes. For me the curvier design with the colourful controller gives me a massive nostalgia hit every time I see it.

@noobish_hat to be fair to the man, his Wii Nunchuck wasn’t bad.

Nintendo should have Nunchucked that US SNES in the bin though.

Ah, so he’s the one who made the US’s bad looking SNES then…

“This castle is a creature of chaos…”

I don’t think people understand that this poll is asking how YOU pronounce it.

It doesn’t matter how Nintendo say it. It doesn’t matter what the Japanese spelling is because all we are seeing is two letters, Fi, and there are a few ways to pronounce it in English.

Fai
Fee
Fih

That’s about it really. And whatever you settle on in your head is going to be how you pronounce it.

Personally, it is Fee. Even knowing the truth, I’m still staying Fee in my head because that’s what feels right to me.

Just like Wii is not Why.
Mario is not Mar-eye-oh.
Wind is not W-eye-nd (unless you’re winding something)
And Fiona is not F-eye-ona
Etc.

(That’s how my brain processes it at least)

This was made complicated by the translators renaming her outside Japan and dropping an ‘a’. And even if they did that we would now have a poll questioning if it was Fai or Fay.

I can’t be the only one getting Bee Gees vibes from the Dugtrio one, right?

@Clarice thanks. I will.

You also do you.

@Clarice I dunno, I kinda like wordplay that borders on Dad jokes.

Wytchwood, which I would play in my Switch, would have me playing as a witch which would be quite the swytch from the characters which I would usually play.

Lovely animation.

I had slug trails on my shoes and over part of my carpet today. I’m guessing Slugma trails would have resulted in my house burning down.

Sometimes I’m glad Pokémon aren’t real…

@HefHughner Level 5 probably saw everyone being offended by everything in the West (at least, that’s how certain groups display the world online) and thought to themselves, “Well, Japan cut itself off from foreigners for hundreds of years before and that worked out okay. Maybe we should do that again so we don’t have to deal with that nonsense.”

I mean, it was probably for financial reasons or just them not wanting the hassle of localisation, but I dunno, I kinda like there being some old fashioned Japanese game developers left but I also wanna play their games in English so it’s tough.

Fortnite is actually a good game (not my cup of tea but playing in short bursts with my kids is fun) but it’s the in thing right now to bleep on it from a great height.

Morinho is right though, some people are addicted to it and you shouldn’t be playing it until 5am when you have work (a football match) the next day. No wonder he hates it.

Link was playing a MEDALey of tunes on his ocarina to help her win.

That’s out of this wild.

I think I just turned vegan.

@BloodNinja to be fair NintendoLife is a video game site and they report on things related to games, whether they be people doing fun things outside of games or celebrities talking about games or whatever.

SpaceJam 2 is a movie about video games and it features Nintendo (the Gameboy). Also Fortnite has Lebron and his Tune Squad jersey in it which is available on Switch so there are connections to Nintendo/The Switch.

I’m all for movie review on this site as long as they have connections to franchises and themes of the site. And this matches that.

@0nett being abusive/aggressive is uncalled for. You may disagree with Znake’s opinion but you don’t have to attack them. They aren’t attacking you directly but just venting their frustration at what they perceive to be neglect for Switch gamers which happens with some developers.

@Znake I think you might be off the mark slightly with this one. While it might be the developers fault (they may have misjudged how long the approval process takes) it could equally be Nintendo’s fault. All we know is it is out of the developers control right now and they are disappointed with the outcome as it seems they wanted to treat all parties equally and fair play to them for that. It just didn’t work out this time.

When I found out that Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda and that he played games, it was one of those moments that helped make me realise that being a gamer was actually cool.

Before that I always thought I was a bit of a sad loner with a hobby I loved but that most didn’t understand. It was because I respected Robin so much as an actor/comedian that I was encouraged by his love for games. And when I had people tell me games were uncool I would respond, “well Robin Williams plays games and even named his daughter Zelda.”

Nowadays gaming is accepted in broader society and there are tons of famous people who game. But it was people like him who helped me connect to my hobby and feel good about myself. Thanks Robin.

I love Bob’s inflatable flamingo hat.

Angry Beavers - I hope they get added at some point.

@AvianBlue all the ones you’ve listed are cheap knock offs of Kung Fu Panda Showdown of Legendary Legends (that’s one you forgot).

So, anyone know what characters are on the front cover? I wanna look up those games.

I’m not sure if this is a bo-nana-fide product or a late Ape-ril fools joke. But I would be very chimp-ressed if this was peel.

From the screenshot I thought it was a criminal trial or something until I read the headline. Haha

That’s great. A mushroom version was also be appreciated and would look good on the shelf together.

Although, I’m sure there is a way to fit more cartridges into them. At that rate I’d need about 7 or them.

As a PC Overwatch player, I’m just here to send you all my condolences.

I’m sorry.

Nintendo making special content in their own game to celebrate their old rival is still mind boggling to me.

How the industry has changed from the fanboy wars of the past… well, at least for the companies. The fanboys still out there warring.

The real pro switch is moving from Coke to Pepsi.

@Anti-Matter DO IT!

When she gets to 5,000 days we should start a GoFundMe and get her a Switch with Ring Fit Adventure or a Wii U with Wii Fit U.

I bet she will still just play the original though (and there is nothing wrong with that).

@Miyamotosan Nights is a great game, especially for its time.

I replayed it recently on PlayStation Now and it took a while to get back into the control scheme, but once I got the hang of it again I had a blast.

Just because it isn’t your cup of tea doesn’t mean it is bad.

@Zebetite I actually disagree. And I think a lot of the upvotes are from people who don’t know what Sonic Team have made in the past.

Barring Sonic, Sonic Team have made…

Nights into Dreams (masterpiece of its time that brought with it the analog stick)

Phantasy Star Online (another amazing game that brought a real online multiplier RPG experience to consoles for the first time)

Burning Rangers (A true hidden gem that has a meta critic score of 90 and deserves a remake or even a retro version of the original)

Chu Chu Rocket (Again an amazing puzzle game with wildly fun multiplayer)

Puyo Puyo (Still going strong as the second most popular puzzler next to Tetris)

That’s on top of all the Sonic games, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg and other games like that. Yeah, they aren’t as great a developer as some others out there but to discredit all their work when they brought us unique titles that helped shape former generations is too harsh on the studio.

When you grow up you realise that your Pokémon cards exist in the space between real money and Bitcoin.

With his talent set he could produce musical Pokemon cards where they play a song when you play the card or something.

Having thought this through for a few seconds, this could be a winner.

Yeah, they are just trying to do damage control after showing how scumbaggy they are.

Offering $15 million to one person while laying off 800 people is just disgusting.

That $15 mill could have paid hundreds of people which would have enriched the company far more than a single individual ever could.

I hate the selfish so and so’s who scalp these.

Took my kids to McDonalds last time they had these and had both kids disappointed because they ran out of Pokémon toys within the first week because adults came in and bought 30 at a time (no meals, just toys according to store manager).

You can scalp my PS5 but if you steal my kids Happy Meal toys - I WILL FIGHT YOU!

Luckslinger should have been called Red Dead Re Duck Hunt Contra.

Super Potato, the hero we don’t deserve.

Well, at least no one is going to ask what the game is. It is exactly what it says on the box.

@Donnerkebab I agree completely. 2017 was such a great year for me specifically because of BotW and HZD. Two games in my top 10 all time favourites.

You can’t go wrong with a donner kebab either to be fair.

Xbox and PlayStation have the Fortnite collaborations.

Nintendo has the Smash collabs.

While I love playing Master Chief and soon Aloy on my Switch, you can’t beat the drama of a Smash reveal.

@Doofenshmirtz not exactly. I mean, Cyber Punk 2077 is still smouldering.

It looks magical!

Are we sure that isn’t just a Shigeru Miyamoto mascot though?

@CodyMKW I really hope PETA does that.

We need the next generation to realise how truly bat bleep crazy they are, and them attacking a beloved game for millions over something idiotic will do just the trick.

I’d prefer it if they showcased the game.

The could easily design them to protect the game and fit nicely on a bookshelf, but also show it inside the case through a window.

They could also provide side titles for you to print off, cut and slide into the side (without looking tacky) so you can see what game is on the shelf.

Maybe I’m asking too much, but I wouldn’t spend this much for something that neither showcased the game nor stands out on my game shelf.

@horizoniki @samuraicop to be fair though, regardless of tattoos, if this was meant to be directed at kids they should have chosen a better role model.

@GannonBanned looks bananas to me...

This is s***!

I was expecting someone to actually have the gas skills to fart Mario tunes with their own backside. Instead it is just sound effects and basic stuff anyone can do.

Such lazy people on Tik Tok. Actually spend the time learning your instrument and then come back and fart me a real tune!

@1ofUs to be fair, my brother did buy a sports car and then proceed to flip and crash it like we used to flip and crash Hot Wheels cars as kids.

It all makes sense now...

I will accept my 6/20 score with humble pride. I am not a details person and this proves it.

Some of them I was kicking myself for getting wrong when it was so obvious after seeing the zoomed out photo. Others I just didn’t know at all.

Fun quiz. Thanks NintendoLife.

Gaming preppers can add this game to their list for the bunker.

The PS4 version apparently had some game breaking bugs that needed patching so hopefully they won’t be included on the cartridge. It’s a great game though.
