I'll likely grab this on sale for the Switch 2 to have a portable version. Its already on my PS5 backlog, haha.

My wife knows very little about The Legend of Zelda as a series, but yeah, I'm definitely going to ask her to watch it with me!

...at home. I don't go see movies at the theatre much these days. Too many disrespectful people around to enjoy it in the US now, sadly.

• Bowser argued that younger gamers "do want fun, and they want it to be easy to get to (the) fun,"

This also applies to us adults too. We want to get to the fun quickly too!

Keep showering me with articles about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sales and overall success. I will never get tired of it!

I'll probably utilize this feature to surprise my wife when I see a sale on something she has been eyeing on her console.

Eh, I just use the additional HUD options as a form of psudo-photo mode. Wild that there isn't an official one baked in here.

Maybe a free update in the future?

I'm fine with my Nintendo Switch 2 as it is, but I think for the longevity of the device, a lite, cheaper option for accessibility is essential to this lifecycle.

I'd pass on on a lite personally, but I would be on-board with a premium model with some enhancements like an OLED screen, 512GB internal storage and longer battery life. That model would likely be $599.99 though at the current market if not more.

Heck yes! Bring on more Ocarina of Time content!

I am here for some Nintendo remakes in 4K. Also sounding like those Super Metroid remake rumors are sounding pretty plausible right now...

I personally think it's time for Nintendo to revisit a little game... A game called EarthBound.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I love Zelda Notes integration!

Oh... Oh, Star Fox... I am so freaking happy for you. Welcome to the club!

Hey Jim, Sylveon is in the base game. I think the new Pokémon you meant was actually Snubbull.

Ooof, yeah, I think the 9 out of 10 is warranted without the inclusion of Master Quest and multiple save slots... I wonder what the thought process behind that was? Why does Nintendo have to... be Nintendo sometimes? lol

I'm going to replay this game annually. I'd like to keep my original playthrough of it saved though... Guess I'll have to make another profile.

As always, I appreciate the review Ollie!

Nice! Definitely have this one on my radar.

Man... You'd think I would know my favorite game of all time... 9/13 hurts....

Ugh, of course there is an Eevee and my wife is going to want it. Send help please.

Not surprising and an overall great call from them. There will be a better window next year for sure.

The Nintendo 3DS version is still the best way to play this game currently, although that is VERY likely going to change by next week!

So ready for this MASSIVE upgrade!

Ooooo, that is sick! I like this one a lot!

Actually shocked this is closing down before Pokémon Cafe Remix. I don't know how to feel about this. I know the community is still there for this game... so I guess there were just not enough people buying the content anymore.

My condolences to those that really love this game. Hopefully you can get some more time in before the closure. Never a good day to see someone's favorite game just poof out of existence.

I think the last game that I purchased with any involvement from EA was Unravel Two. They have made nothing of note on Nintendo platforms since.

As a Nintendo fan, the only BioWare games we've had access to are: Sonic and the Dark Brotherhood on Nintendo DS, Mass Effect 3 on Wii U and Aspyr's port of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for Nintendo Switch. We were never really given a chance to even support the studio's biggest projects in the first place.

I love all of the little callbacks the Nintendo marketing team has been doing with their franchises with long histories.

Looking forward to adding this to my library in the future!

I got it for Christmas in 1998 along with a brand new 20" Toshiba CRT to play it on. Before then, I was gaming on a 10" screen, lol. It was a beautiful Christmas day!

Abby Trott is an absolute treasure. Love her in everything she is in!

Great interview!

Super excited for it! Will definitely be giving the demo a try to check on performance on Switch 2!

Has there been any mention of a Master Quest mode by chance?

November 5th can't get here soon enough!

Does Micron have a long term goal for these factories they are putting up? Will they be unnecessary in 6 years and need to be demolished after all of this demand is satiated?

Weird stuff going on in this world and the very idea that a PlayStation 6 and next-gen Xbox is on the horizon... I honestly don't know how they'll do it.

Is Dragon Quest XI called Shadows of an Elusive Age instead of Echoes of an Elusive Age in Japan?

I think Shadows of an Elusive Age sounds way cooler!

@solarwolf07 Same! I'm hoping for more dates to be added in the future that are closer by. I attended the 25th Anniversary Concert and would love for the same venue to host this one!

Sounds like a "play the original release in Handheld Boost Mode" kind of game to me, lol.

I'm definitely jumping on Monster Hunter Wilds on Nintendo Switch 2, even with the compromises. I have faith in Capcom making a perfectly playable version of the game for me to take on the go.

SEGA always perplexes me. Like... all I hear is "resources are limited" and "fans request remasters and remakes all the time," in the same sentence...

Maybe your Sonic the Hedgehog resources wouldn't be so limited during these times... if you would first make the things in demand before working on something new that you want to do?

I get and respect the desire to create something new, but if your funds are stretched that thin, it isn't going to turn out good. You might want to consider leaning into demand and make the funds off of those remakes and remasters to fund the bigger project and make better games. It's really not that difficult to put these two pieces together.

Hello Fellow Fire Emblem: Three Houses players! What House are you currently playing? 😊

Options are nothing but a positive!

So, there is no 30 FPS option in the settings? Frame Generation is required to play this on Switch 2? If so, that is a shame.

I sure am glad I bailed the second they announced this after they've made 0% progress in improving the situation.

I don't know what they can do honestly, so I'm just slowly selling my former collection hobby into this garbage market to re-invest into my Nintendo Switch 2 now. I had no intention of being part of this, but... I mean, I literally have a free ride through the next 10 years of gaming now which is nice. I was anti-scalper for years before finally throwing in the towel. lol

And no, I am not buying new product anymore, just selling off what I already own until it is gone.

I think it is inevitable that Eternal Darkness will make its way back one way or another, it's just a matter of when and in what form.

Phantasy Star Online also has this feature... Nintendo and Sega should partner up to make that happen, just saying.

AHHHH!!! I can't wait!!! I need this game in my life right now!!!!

@progx Mario Kart is typically an iterative franchise, once the new one comes out, the old one never gets played again in my household. I've done this since I was a kid and always sold off the old one for the new one.

I do the same for Super Smash Bros., Mario Tennis, Mario Party, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, etc. Keeps the overall cost of the hobby much lower so I can play even more games!

That equals out to about $16.67 USD per movie which isn't too bad. I'm curious if there are special features on each disc and the aspect ratio of each film.

All in all, a nice little collector's item that will be very unobtainable for its intended audience unfortunately.

With each iteration of Mario Kart, I usually sell the old one for the new one... Kind of regretting that decision for the first time now. Might have to grab it again, lol.

Eh, I kind of get it. My wife will not play a horror game without me in the room so she can hand me the controller at the scariest parts, lol.

That said though, you really lose the entire identity of modern era Resident Evil if they toned it down at all. I think its more important for the team making these games to fully embrace the vision they have and keep going forward with it rather than try and please everyone.

It's the most successful franchise Capcom currently has, so I see absolutely no reason to change course or implement these suggested features. Maybe Kamiya should just play a heavily modded PC build of the game?

I tried to stay in the loop this month, but moving into our first house took most of my attention away from gaming this month.

Good news though is that I'm finally moved in and things can start returning (somewhat) back to normal!

Huh, kind of surprised more are not on the list. Cyberpunk 2077 felt like a pretty big deal to the Nintendo Life staff and community when it first released on Nintendo Switch 2.

I figured it met all criteria better than Burnout Paradise Remastered.

Still a great starter pack of games regardless. Can't go wrong with any of them.

I personally, would like to explore as much of Pokopia's version of the Kanto region before we move onto post apocalyptic Johto.

That said, a Pokémon Pokopia 2 will absolutely be just as essential as Dragon Quest Builders 2 was.

@AStupidID Yep! This and Welcome Tour should definitely make their way to the NSO + Expansion Pack roster. That's likely the only way I'll personally ever play them.

@ferryb001 I agree with this. I'd rather have a Pokémon Home subscription included in my Expansion Pack subscription than all of these DLC and Switch 2 Upgrade packs I don't want/need.

I've always been singing the praises of Fire Emblem Engage, and was at least hoping that the next entry would try and marry the ideas from both Engage and Three Houses, and for the most part, that seems to be the case!

I'm excited for this game, but I'll have to wait my turn... my wife has called dibs first. lol
