@Daniel36 Interesting you say that, because a similar thing happened to me. I got the game with some birthday money when it originally came out, but only played an hour or so. Never touched it again, and I don't know why. I also lost the disk, which was very uncommon even for a 12 year-old me.

Oh wow, I only missed the Zelda II question. Nice quiz NL!

I didn't realize rumble drained batteries. Must not be much, cause I've always turned rumble up in games as much as possible, but still gotten hours and hours on a single charge.

Regardless, I do love a good controller rumble and look forward to the Switch 2 improvemments!

@kid_keo Agreed. I was about to make a similar joke, but who can top that?

I was not expecting this at all, so it was a great surprise. Looks super fun too!

The float status maintains after switching rooms?!

I've been wanting that for 30 years!😂

I was literally looking up news on this an hour ago, and was hoping it would come out on Switch!

The irony!

Sweet! I've never played DK'94!

AND NOW I GET TO

@Pillowpants Ha! Yes! I remember how much I loved those magazine days! I would just look at them over and over again. There was an issue of Nintendo Power I admired in particular. I think Earthworm Jim was on the cover, but there was this huge section of a FFVI (III back then) walkthrough in it. It was chock full of that classic Final Fantasy art. So awesome!

And, yeah, I feel super old too. 😂

I got the cow mask wrong!

This is an awesome little game! Great attention to detail, lots of stuff to find, varied enemies, and most of all, it's fun!

I emailed the dev years ago, just to tell him how much I loved Phoenotopia: Awakening. At the time, he seemed discouraged, and acted as if he wouldn't be making a follow up. Imagine my surprise when I saw this!

Phoenotopia: Awakening is my favorite indie game of all time. Play that game, then play this one!

Ah yes, I remember the night my older brother and his buddy allowed me to play Secret of Mana with them. It was like being called up to the big leagues. I know I only weighed them down, those werewolves in the haunted forest kept killing me, but I had such a blast!

This would be a good way to differentiate games between the two consoles for all the casual buyers out there.

@MeloMan That title screen song alone got me feeling like a kid again!

Man, they've been really hitting me in the nostalgia feels these last few releases. Love it! Keep these classics coming Nintendo!

I believe I've gotten every Nintendo home console day one since the GameCube. Now that it looks they will have a lot to sell, I don't think that will change!

I think it's great. It reminds me of the slight Mario Wonder redesigns, which I loved.

@IceEarthGuard Regardless, I was just being silly.

I save my silver Nintendo points all year just so I don't miss out on bizarre stuff like this😆

@masterLEON Thanks for the response! I Googled info on the level cap, and found an analysis of the X DE trailer. Folks spotted sections where characters were higher than level 60. They must have changed the cap. Interesting if so.

If I remember correctly, wasn't there a level cap below the typical RPG number of 99? I remember running into that and being disappointed since I sucked at the game, and couldn't just grind to get "better" 😂

@ferryb001 Oh wow, didn't realize this was the same guys who made Wuppo! Loved Wuppo, which means I'll definitely be getting this game!

Beyond Galaxyland was pretty great. I'd love to see more from the developer.

I remember the year I took shop class in high school, they were remodeling the shop. We had to have the class in the computer lab. One of the assignments for like two months straight was beat Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. It was a really fun time, and I'm very excited to jump back in!

Thanks for the review!

@Ulysses I've been wondering the same thing. There's been a lot of DK related stuff this year, like way more than most Nintendo franchises, surely it cold be leading to an actual new game?

@silver-crescent It's definitely one of the best indies ever. It fits in that category of games I like so much, I'll double dip in a heartbeat. Will probably now get it on Steam since I haven't played it since it came out on Switch.

I think Radient Historia is the only game I've ever bought that I never actually played through. I remember booting up the game once, then never touched it again. I really can't say why either. It's very strange.

Very cool of these guys to do this. I'm happy to start a new game soon and try out the updated battle system!

I've seen the other two games in the eshop, and always been intrigued by them. Now that I know there's a third game with better mechanics, I just might finally buy one!

Very cool! I can dig this!

Welllllll, I held off playing on Steam, just in case it got a Nintendo release. It's a strategy that has worked 💯 in the past.

Just sayin'.

@N00BiSH 👏Bravo👏 You win the internet with that one.

With Mario Wonder added yesterday, it made me think there'd be a daily release.

I wonder if Gerudo Vally is the most listened to track yet.

What can I say, this excites me! If true, this is more confirmation Switch 2 is out next year!

@Ulysses That's very interesting, and a very Nintendo thing to do. Considering they always like some kind of innovation in their consoles, but rumors suggest Switch 2 is literally a better version of Switch, this could be that innovative thing they emphasize.

@JohnnyMind Dude, you are the most sensible and optimistic person I've ever seen on comment sections. Please stick around!

Wow, yeah, that looks pretty amazing.

Thank you Monolith Soft for all you've done for the gaming industry! Keep that amazing quality coming for years to come!

@Bunkerneath Now, I haven't got to crafting yet, but just got through the game's battle tutorial. Once you see it explained in-game, all those capture and other mechanics really aren't that complicated. To me, it's kinda like Super Mario RPG timed hit/block mechanics, then just add in some OG Pokémon stuff.

It certainly doesn't bother me, and I'm old and don't like overcomplicated. 😆

Nice! I never played these, but watched my brother play on PlayStation way back in the day. Definitely ready to play Lunar for the first time!

This was probably my most anticipated game for September. I've seen the developer making information posts and comments on Reddit, and it's very apparent this game was made with passion. Very excited to play tonight!

Even though Phantom Pain seemed unfinished, I really really enjoyed that game on PC when it came out. Would love to play it on a Nintendo console!

If they add PP, I hope they add Ground Zeroes too, I mean they go together!

I was waiting on you guy's review before I bought this game. Glad it it turned out good! I will definitely be buying soon!

I typically don't like speed (or timing) based games, but this has become one of those great exceptions. I was honestly shocked by how much I enjoyed Pizza Tower.

As you can see from my profile pic, I love old school Zelda promo art, so I love these!

Keep the content coming boys!

@yohn777 The situation is the same. I didn't buy any of those three games on Steam because I knew they'd eventually be on Switch.

This is like Death's Door and Tunic, I just knew it'd come out on Switch! Excited to play!
