This Lighsiyd is a very happy Lightsiyd today. 😈

It was an excellent Direct!! I liked so many games I don't where to start!! Fighting Collection 2, Star Overdrive, Peglin, Atelier Yuuma, Yakuza Kiwami, Tales of Grace f, Fitness Boxing, Guardians of Azuma, Metal Slug Tactics, Pizza Tower...

More than half of these will not survive my review process, but it's an excellent list of possibilities and I'm very excited!! Only thing that stops it from being a ten is that there's no Hack n Slash of my caliber here. Damn, what an awesome Direct!!!

Hmm. I just might get this if a good demo comes out.

Awesome!! Definitely gonna try this

@Ulysses @SalvorHardin

Agreed. There will always be developers who are less inclined to put in their 100%, but I'm hoping the 'Switch 2' won't lag behind too much in specs.

It's absolutely brilliant!!! But you know... not everyone will bother with the same level of creative solutions, so I hope the Switch's successor is a respectable upgrade from the Switch. It doesn't need to be high end, but it should at minimum match PS4's capabilities.

@Anti-Matter Especially your Everybody 1-2 Switch 😉😏😉

I find the repeated reminders hilarious. It's like they have a secret boss reminding them that it's final battle will be unleashed if they don't remind everyone not the expect Mr. Switch Successor 😁

@HobbitGamer I'm kind of the reverse. No familiarity with TCG at all and minor familiarity with pokemon Go. I played Unite for quite a while last year and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a game I can pick and play anytime. It's pretty decent for a game with MTX.

The pokemon Unite finals were so amazing!!! Makes me want to get back into the game. Fennel played so beautifully!!

@DioBrando If you think this'll be a good time, get your hands on Burnout Legends or Twisted Metal.

Oh god that looks so good!!! Now I gotta go play Twisted Metal: Head On.

Silksongless. It'll definitely be there.

With your powers combined, I am Captain - err, wrong show.

@YourDaddy This is very late but I can answer that. The ROTK titles differ from iteration to iteration in that in some, you are allowed vastly more freedom than in others.

For example, in 14 and many others, you cannot play as a free officer. You must play a pre-existing historical officer (Cao Cao, Liu Bei, etc). The gameplay experience, options, and events vastly differ due to this, to the point where it is the reason this game is in my 'Maybe' NintendoLife list and not in my 'Want' list. I will only target the game after I have confirmed it is similar to my current favorite, ROTK 10, where I can play as a free officer (I prefer to start as a free officer, make friends, build troops, take over my city of origin before proceeding to conquer China).

There are probably other differences, but I've only played two different titles so this is my understanding of the major differences.

@Kraven I'm sorry to hear about your father, my deepest condolences during this period of time. Stay strong!! Also, thanks for sharing your thoughts on Black Myth Wukong. Now I'm more certain it's my cup of tea.

I practically abandoned my Switch for the last two weeks in order to enjoy Burnout Legends(PSP) , Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception(PSP). and Spiderman 2(PS2) . Speaking of which, it's easy to see why Burnout Legends is one the best in the series. Burnout Paradise got trolled by its open-world implementation, making getting to events a tedious chore, and the crash time of the vehicles during races was unnecessarily lengthened to negative effect. The sheer breadth of difference these two factors make is so large it's hard to believe without experiencing both. I hope Burnout Legends and the PS2 iterations get ported to Switch (or its successor) someday, and I hope I finally get around to finishing Cat Quest this weekend, haha.

Happy gaming, everyone!! ❤︎♥︎❤︎

I played the demo and I feel the review score is perfectly accurate. A great game, very engaging with snappy combat, and good for anyone who's looking for an 8/10 game.

I wonder if I should give the demo a shot?

@IceClimbersMain My thoughts exactly. No real point setting a price limit for myself without seeing what the console is capable of.

That said, I hope it rivals the ROG Ally X but comes with a smaller internal space for price's sake...

Oh? Maybe I should keep an eye out for this game after all.

@CaleBoi25 Had to google that to confirm you weren't pulling my leg 😂

@CaleBoi25 Certainly!! All Butter Shortbread must be included though

@NintonicGamer If you let me ride on your back as you swim, you can make it!!!

@SpangoNuts So mean!! All my life I've always dreamed of helping you lift and use a controller. 😒

It was a lot better than I thought it could be. Well, that's Nintendo for you!!

@GalaxyGreg
Second lesson - never let Nintendolife and it's users know you failed.

@Erigen You don't need to hope, seeing as how you said it yourself!! 😂

@SBandy1 Imagine someone trying to make me like farming sims. Now that would be a nightmare

@Manxman64 It wouldn't make it easier. I've tested this in custom mode. What it would do is make the harder difficulty more rewarding. A similar concept exists in Astral Ascent.

@IceEarthGuard I don't see a demo for this. Which region is your Switch account set to?

Interesting updates, but nothing I'm impressed with. If the limit on mutations were increased from 3 to 5 on 4-cell difficulty or higher for story mode, now THAT would make me sit up and cheer.

Ah well, looking at the bright side, I now no longer have to keep an eye on this. Thanks for the review.

@Arkay It's a common issue with Hollow Knight. The first time I tried it I wasn't impressed as well. It wasn't until I gave it another shot that I got to experience what a wonderful game it was.

@ScalenePowers Lies, the best Mario RPG series is Super Mario and the One Ring to Rule Them All!!

Epic stuff, I tell ya!!

What? An elite squad, underpaid, and skilled in the magnificent art of letter-reading? Time to get my kidnapping kit out.

@JohnnyMind And it looks far more dynamic to boot. The others are just posing.

@Serpenterror Looks quite handy. Kudos for sharing

Such beatiful music 😍

@Yalloo Many thanks for going into depth with the reply, I highly appreciate it.

Hmm. Story is not really a relevant factor when I pick games, unless a previous entry of the game has already wowed me before. Not to mention, my first foray into the Zelda series (BoTW) did not leave much of an impression, so I'm rather apathetic about the series as a whole.

I'm more into rock than orchestra so that leaves the combat. I played the demo of AoC and I enjoyed playing as Link. I did not know what to make of Impa, perhaps she just takes getting used to? I was planning to pick one of the two (AoC is already on my wishlist) but I think it best to go with AoC first after having a look at both reviews.

Thanks again, and yeah I'll tag you and compare notes when I get to it 😁

@Yalloo That is pretty amazing!! Tell me, did you also play Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity? and if yes, which one did you enjoy more and why?

If you did play both, which would you recommend I choose if I was going for one of them and why?

@kurtasbestos If you master the Kage Bushin no Jutsu and you have two Switch consoles, you can do both at once.

Oh? This will be nice to get back to once I clear Cat Quest III and Child of Light

@Yalloo the completion time for Hyrule warriors definitive edition is 18hrs roughly for the main game and 40hrs roughly for main + extras. You were probably enjoying yourself so much that you went for completionist mode twice.

@Jack_Goetz @jedgamesguy I put over 200 hours in both Breath of the Wild and Disgaea 5. Looking back, I'd rather have spent those hours elsewhere. Too many of these 'long games' are long because they have too much filler, bad pacing, grinding, and things that waste a players time while not being fun.

@Vyacheslav333 agreed. Played it on PS5 and it could do with being shorter

🥱 Good luck to those who could use this list.

@Truegamer79 Why would you get it on the switch if you already have it somewhere else? Portability?

Such an epic trailer though. It looks so great to me, so it'll be the stuff of my brother's wet dreams.

@Savage_Joe It's not like it's the only predatory business practice around. Microtransactions, loot boxes, and RNG with abysmal odds are also just as bad. In a perfect world, these would all be regulated.

@HeadPirate Is that a challenge? My finger is pointing at you right now!!!

This review reads like a lamentation!!! Poor Kate 😂🤣😂

Swearing is a big deal on Nintendolife, I guess. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The game is already rated M, for heaven's sake.
