Charcoal, for shamelessly nostalgic reasons. I probably would have bought a different color (Gold was a thing???), but they didn't come out till well after I bought my console.
Of this list I voted Steve, Paper Mario, and Rayman.
I LOVE the idea of the Tetris blocks, but that seems like a long shot. THE STAGE THOUGH. I really want a Tetris stage. I also wouldn't mind Amaterasu or Master Chief. Honestly though my expectations are low... B-K was the only character in the first pass I gave half a hoot about.
Hive got to check this out eventually, but I'll bee waiting on a sale, since it sounds like the buzz is a little mixed. Don't want to get stung paying too much, and I've got plenty to keep me buzzy in the meantime... honey.
Graphics look a little ruff. I'll keep an eye on this one though, could paw-ssibly be fun, and I'm always happy to throw an up and coming developer a bone.
Glad Epic is taking a hardline stance. It's very frustrating to play against cheaters. Most gamers don't play competitively. He has no right to ruin the gaming experience of other people for his own gain.
@Nedtendo I was kidding. I think it's completely absurd. A freebie with some level of function would make far more sense, like a keychain or pen or something, or better yet, a case that can hold several Switch games rather than just one...
Confirmed: I can fit through the Ring-Con, though it was a bit tight.
I was able to get the leg strap to stick by putting it slightly higher on my leg than they recommend. Overall I've been enjoying it. Definitely tougher than I was expecting!
Preordered. If there are any reviews out when I get home I'll read them... otherwise I probably won't be able to resist tearing it open and trying it out.
Eventually. It's going to be a victim of a crowded September. I might wait till Christmas since that's probably when I'll have time to actually play it!
@BulbasaurusRex Well I stand corrected. I can't help thinking amputation was the original story, though. All the art for the original Star Fox looks like robot legs, so perhaps they retconned it.
@Mr_Muscle All the pilots have their lower legs cut off so they can fly arwings. Has something to do with blood flow and inertia while flying. Realistic I guess but rather dark...
Haha so much gloom and doom in the comment section. We don't even know that this is bad news yet. They just about doubled the value of the subscription in one day, so I'll withhold judgement for now...
My top two were Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, followed by Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart and the Metroids.
I like how they included Donkey Kong Racing even though it was never released. Naturally, I gave it a 10 because I like the idea of having been able to play it, which is all I have to go on...
@NullPointerExcep I've been pondering that too. I think they must have had a game scrapped themselves at some point, or else it seems like their DKC3 or whatever would have been announced.
I'm a little surprised Zelda didn't make the list, but I think both games are some of the worst in the series, and exemplify all the bad habits BOTW broke.
I have a hard time seeing this on Switch, but I would be happy to be proven wrong. I've enjoyed the Xbox One version, though I think the controls and crafting are more obtuse than they needed to be.

Re: Nintendo Download: 14th January (North America)
"Starting now..." It's a good thing Nintendo doesn't run races, their sense of timing seems to be a little off... sale isn't live yet.
Re: Northgard
Would also like a review...
Re: Sephiroth From Final Fantasy VII Joins Super Smash Bros. Ultimate This Month
I'm sure this will make someone happy... Not me. But someone... somewhere...
Re: Review: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light - We've Come A Long Way In 30 Years
Shadow Dragon is on the Wii U for just $4 more... sounds like that might be a better route for me.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd December (North America)
Fire Emblem for me. Seems like as good a place as any to start the series. Maybe I'll jump from that to Three Houses XD
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #40 - The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
I have a lot of nostalgia for the NA cover, but the Japanese cover is objectively best.
Re: Feature: So, Who's Next For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #22 - Star Wars Episode I: Racer
Chubby naked alien watching tiny spaceship things is the obvious winner here.
Re: New Nintendo Website Shows Your 2019 Switch Gaming Stats (North America)
My most played were Breath of the Wild, Moonlighter, and Let's Go Pikachu. Let's Go kinda surprised me, the other two check out though...
Re: Random: Is Nintendo UK Getting Cheekily Political With This Animal Crossing Poster?
Wait... stop... Nintendolife... don't do it...
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #18 - Donkey Kong 64
Blinded by nostalgia. Must vote NA. This was one of those games I got way too hyped for prior to release.
But looking them over, I do think it's the best one. Just a little better than Japan this time.

This looks great! And it actually made me laugh. Definitely in.

Re: Early Digital Pokémon Sword And Shield Pre-Orders Also Include A Steelbook, For Some Reason
I wish more companies would do this. When I buy a movie digitally, I still want an empty case... obviously.
Re: Heads Up! The Nintendo Official UK Store Has A Bunch Of Legend Of Zelda amiibo Back In Stock
America might be restocked as well. Best Buy had Majora's Mask Link! Been trying to get that one for ages. I was able to order from Ohio.
Re: Review: Ring Fit Adventure - Fitness Fun For Everyone
@iamthesunset If only, then I could use it for a hula hoop.

Confirmed: I can fit through the Ring-Con, though it was a bit tight.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #13 - Goemon's Great Adventure
Ready for this series to make a comeback! I enjoyed both the N64 games.
Re: Poll: Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Preordered. If there are any reviews out when I get home I'll read them... otherwise I probably won't be able to resist tearing it open and trying it out.
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For October And November 2019
Yep, I'll be trying to squeeze through a Ring-Con now.
Re: Random: Ruin Your Children's Christmas With This Horrifying Detective Pikachu Mask

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th September (North America)
Zelda's been preordered for months. Goose Game is also a yes as long as the reviews are mostly favorable.
Re: Feature: Best GameCube Games
Totally forgot about the Zelda collections. This isn't what I would have expected but I'm glad to see Wind Waker do so well.
Re: Video: Mario Kart Tour Gets A Real Life Commercial Featuring Toad
Love this. Now I kind of want a cartoon series or something with a ton of Toads...
Re: Poll: Daemon X Machina Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Eventually. It's going to be a victim of a crowded September. I might wait till Christmas since that's probably when I'll have time to actually play it!
Re: Poll: How Would You Like To See Dreamcast Classics Arrive On Switch?
@YANDMAN Exactly, just don't eat it or your game will have holes in it! I have made that mistake many times.
Re: Poll: How Would You Like To See Dreamcast Classics Arrive On Switch?
@YANDMAN No, you just put peanut butter or molasses all over your Switch, that way the data will get stuck.
Re: Poll: How Would You Like To See Dreamcast Classics Arrive On Switch?
@YANDMAN Crunch them up and drop the shards into the cartridge slot.

Re: Nintendo Just Teased A Brand New Fitness Experience For The Switch
Classic Nintendo hahaha, never afraid to be weird. If it's not too expensive I'll be interested.
Re: Poll: Vote For Your Favourite GameCube Games
My top two were Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, followed by Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart and the Metroids.

Re: Celebrate Untitled Goose Game's Launch With This Honkingly Cool Merch
I hope this game is all it's quacked up to be. Those socks will fly off the shelves.
Re: Honk! Untitled Goose Game Finally Has A Release Date On Switch
Can't wait to take a gander at this one when it comes out.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Celebrates Its Second Anniversary With An eShop Sale
FINALLY.
Bought the DK DLC. I don't know why they waited so long to put the DLC on sale...
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #5 - Super Mario Kart
I always won with Toad. He should be out in front!
Re: Video: Bee Sure You Point Your Compound Eyes At This Co-Op Bee Simulator Trailer
Looks pretty sweet. I'll follow the buzz on this one and see how it reviews. At that price though, I won't bee picking it up without a hefty sale.
Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?
I've had:
Wii - Some discs read slowly, Skyward Sword was the worst.
Original DS - Cracked Hinge
New N3DS - Stopped Reading Cartridges
The new 3DS was by far the worst. Very frustrating, and the fix was going to cost $80, so I wound up just buying another one later.
In general I think Nintendo makes reliable products. No issues with drift so far.
Re: Conker's Creator Doesn't Think There Would Be As Much Noise For Other Rare IP On Switch
Agreed... unless we're talking about Jet Force Gemini. I want a remaster on Switch!
Re: Zelda: Link's Awakening Pre-Orders Updated With Extra Freebies On Nintendo UK Store
@YoshiAngemon Same boat. I would totally pay a little extra to get that stuff too. NoA just doesn't like my money I guess...
Re: Epic Games Opens New Studio With Factor 5 Founders At The Helm
Saw that picture and thought maybe we were finally getting a Rogue Squadron re-release... not that I'd want to give Disney my money for it...
Re: Curse Of The Sea Rats Is An All-New Metroidvania Headed To Switch
Intriguing. I appreciate the hard work of hand-drawn animation. I'll keep an eye out, especially if it has co-op.
Re: Around Half Of The Metroid Prime 3 Development Team Is Still At Retro Studios
@NullPointerExcep I've been pondering that too. I think they must have had a game scrapped themselves at some point, or else it seems like their DKC3 or whatever would have been announced.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo DS Games
Interesting list! Lots of games I missed.
I'm a little surprised Zelda didn't make the list, but I think both games are some of the worst in the series, and exemplify all the bad habits BOTW broke.
Re: Hello Games Founder Sean Murray Shows Interest In No Man's Sky Switch Port
I have a hard time seeing this on Switch, but I would be happy to be proven wrong. I've enjoyed the Xbox One version, though I think the controls and crafting are more obtuse than they needed to be.
