And now also...

#freepslatoon2

I was hoping for this since the day ROA was confirmed for Switch.

Just got trough Faces of Evil Remastered yesterday. The games aren't total disasters and actually an interesting part of the gaming history. While not amazing, I'd still give it a 6/10 on a good day. Worth preserving (well, at least in the remastered form, there's an option to play it like the original too).

@Bizaster
Maybe we'll get voice acting in Gen 9 or 10. Changes come slowly when Pokemon sells millions no matter the quality.

Anyways, sounds good.

Something good please. A 2021 release for New Pokemon Snap, a Pokken Tournament sequel, Gen 4 remakes... anything good.

No more stuff like Pokemon Home, please. I really had no problem playing 5€ a year for Poke Bank. Pokemon Home though... Not supporting that one.

@BabyYoshi12
Todays society is awake 24/7 so no more need for Sleep.

@WiltonRoots
Still no reason to take it away from eShop. No need to worry printing too many copies when it's digital. Sure, they make a lot of money when they force people to buy their games fast and thus make their shareholders happy. Not too fond of these anti consumer practices. Maybe they'll eventually start releasing mpre of their N64 games like with previous platforms. I just wish Nintendo had better backwards compapility practices like Microsoft has with Xbox now. Maybe I can play some N64 titles at Switch 2's launch or wait for a couple of years again for them to be available on the newest system.

I really hope these actually get an english release.

@WiltonRoots
@Dethmunk
Well you could consider the fact that there might be people with work and families who might not have the time to play the game now. Or those people who can't afford a Switch right now. I mean, there's a lot of unemployment due to this global pandemic.

Yeah, that's why.

@eRaz0r
I really would like to play some N64 games that were released on Wii and Wii U on my Switch. Almost 4 years after launch, that's still not an option .

@EvrgrnCmln
I do.
They've used competitive Smash players in their marketing (E3 invitational tournaments), a lot of Smash Bros influencers spread the publicity for new characters etc. As for the events that came to light last summer... the only good think that came out of that is the fact Smash bros community has to make it more safe and better .

As for the toxicity thing... I've always found that interesting. Maybe my country's community is just perfect. And honestly, with over 10 years of experience with this site, NL community is the one I'd call toxic.

Well that's enough for me for now. I think I'll just continue this discussion on the forum.

@Yorumi
Sometimes it seems that most of the NL community sides with Nintendo on the topic of "it's their right to do so" instead of even giving a chance to "if they should". And that's the reason I find most comments in NL about competitive Smash so... sad.

@JasmineDragon
Four Sword Adventures is not a spin-off, it has The Legend of Zelda in the title.

To anyone saying, "just play Ultimate"... Melee is a completely different game. Both Melee and Ultimate are very popular to this day.

#FreeMelee

Option: No, I'll co-op the game with my friend and his copy of the game.

Bought a used copy. I miss Gen 5.

"Co-op performance is laughable at times"

Uh-oh, co-op is the only reason I'm gonna play this with my friend and his copy of the game.

If you REALLY want the full Sword or Shield experience, just buy a used copy and DLC for it. Much cheaper.

Or just wait that this bundle gets cheaper... yeah, right.

@shonenjump86
I prefer Rakham Red from the Tintin comics.

Nice. Now that you've done this... please, Nintendo, rerelease old games like Chibi Robo for Switch.

Definetely buying Bomberman and pig from Minecraft.

Sure, I play it sometimes between online races in CTR.

Truly, one of the greatest videogame systems ever made.

Oh, so that's why this was free.

Funny how people always comment how hard it was to handle the controls in SM64DS. Maybe I just mastered them quickly back in 2005. I really liked the extra content and wish every rerelease had such features (new stages, characters etc.)

Making a digital download limited is kinda ridiculous.

@Supersven1234
Interesting, Shovel Knight is in a lot of indie fighters: Rivals of Aether, Brawlhalla, Blade Strangers.

But does it have Shovel Knight?

I like these shadow drop announcements after work. Not buying another musou game but I'll co-op this with my friend and his copy of the game.

@stuntz0rZ
I didn't get the Halloween one, missed the top 5% by a narrow margin. I had to stop playing because I had work next morning.

@AlexSora89
I just enjoy the track design and gameplay mechanics in CTR with higher skill ceiling. Me and my cousin are one of the few people who found MK8 track design too easy and the gameplay mechanics boring. CTR NF is in my top 10 games overall but it's the absolute lowest there due the loading times. 30 fps doesn't really bother me in this case. It would hurt my performance in say, F-Zero GX and even though CTR has the blue flame boost mechanic, I've been able to do it fine.

@johnvboy
You seem to have this strange obsession with game having great sales meaning everyone thinks it's a great game that cannot be critised in any way. By that logic, Wii Play is one of the greatest games of all time.

I can agree with you about Sonic Racing Transformed though.

They'll sell it in the next collection which will also have 3D Land and 3D World.

Why is the collection a limited release? Nintendo games sell for years at full price, what are they doing?

Great... but why limited release?

@AlexSora89
CTR easily triumphs over Mario Kart 8 Deluxe too. I never understood the praise towards MK8DX, it has become the definition of an overhyped videogame for me.

I'm not even a fan of Advance Wars but I wish they made a new one instead of these new weird Paper Marios.

@TophatDragoneye
Not my thing insulting people over their opinions. Since my reply comes so late I'll return to this topic the next time there are news about Sword & Shield.

@DrJoson
That and Captain Toad strangely.

While those games weren't great I still have a lot of good memories of playing them with my brothers.

I bought the game used and played trough it. Am I now allowed to share my problems about the game... or do I count as "a whiner" according to some people here?

I'm glad Nintendolife still keeps reporting about competitive Smash Bros. It's also very nice to see actual thought put behind some comments. Not all though, usually they're very surface level like:

• This person should get a "real job"
• "Games shouldn't be played competetively because I don't like that"
• "Why are they still playing a 20 year old game???"

Yes, it's good to have valid criticism but I see that so rarely in Nintendolife when it comes to competetive Smash Bros. And to anyone commenting how they can't understand why they're talking about this one person (=important person to a large competetive scene, and it's getting even bigger because of the latest developments in Melee netplay)... yeah, keep on giving add revenue to NL by clicking these articles, more Melee related content for me to read.

@sixrings
Yeah, I don't mind that 2020 looks empty for Nintendo, it just could hurt Switch sales momentum badly after most people have bought Animal Crossing.

Well, Shin Megami Tensei V was announced like 3,5 years ano. Good for the fans that it's finally coming.

Sunshine had the best Mario to control in a 3D game. I just love the moveset. A lot of people complain about the lack of long jump while I always complained about the lack of slide move in Galaxy games. It got replaced with... the ability to shoot stars? Bleh!

@Reprise
What exactly about Crash 1-3 doesn't stand the test of time? Controls? Level design? Super Mario 64 is a great game but it's not a "timeless classic" in every area. For example we've seen better cameras in newer 3D games.

This is just sad to hear. There's just so much potential for Mario RPG and limiting the creative process is just awful. Yes, having limits forces you to be more creative but there's a limit for that too.

@rdm22
There are differences between the series though:

• In Paper Mario the HP and attack numbers are really low so you can calculate exactly how much damage you need to do in order to take down your opponents.
• Mario & Luigi on the other hand is about performing even wackier attacks with damage and HP in HUNDREDS.

For me, that was one of the bigger reasons that made both series combat more unique from each other.

@jtmnm
On that note, I'm kinda jealous of those players who like Sticker Star and Color Splash. I gave those games a chance but I just can't understand why someone would like the new combat, recycled level themes with little variotions or really anything else about the new games. Well, there's at least something I like: Sticker Star has a really good snow level theme and Color Splash is excellent visually. But that's about it.

@jtmnm
I understand the point about Super Paper Mario being the turning point.

But...

Even though Super Paper Mario has different gameplay that isn't as good as in those that came before, I still found it enjoyable. The story though... for me, it's easily the best story in a Mario game s.o. far.

I found both Sticker Star and Color Splash lacking in both the gameplay and story department so for me (and for many others I suppose) these two were the turning point for worse.

Can't say anything about Origami King yet. Maybe I end up borrowing it one day if any of my friends end up buying it.

@Maulbert
I give that game credit especially for the fact that bothered to actually write a great Mario story.

My Paper Mario tier list:

S: Paper Mario Thousand Year Door (The first one I played so you can call my opinion biased or whatever... but for me, this had the best new original themes for levels, great original characters and really solid battle mechanics.)
A: Paper Mario (I played TTYD first so technically every PM has been a disappointment in some way since. Still a great game.)
B+: Mario & Luigi Paper Jam (not technically a Paper Mario game but it has the best battle mechanics in a Mario rpg to date)
B: Super Paper Mario (special mention for having easily the greatest story in a Mario game).
C: -
D: -
E: Paper Mario Sticker Star & Color Splash (Special mention... After these, I swore to not complete any more games in X series just for the sake of having completed every other game so far in X series. Yeah, I don't like these. The Wii U hae nice visuals though).

@Dethmunk
Innovation alone doesn't make the final product great by default. People have the right to critisize this game. Sure, it's early for that since most of us haven't played this yet. What I'm seeing is that people want to go back to traditional mechanics (that could be made even better) now that Mario & Luigi series is essentially dead. In a few weeks, there will be a lot more comments of this game by users that have actually completed this game.

If this game is good or even then... that's great. I just lost faith for Paper Mario after Sticker Star and Color Splash.
