To quote a dear friend verbatim when I shared this news with him: "May he play his harmonica untroubled by koopa clowns."

@PinderSchloss After all, you are a doctor!

As a friend and I recently said, we live in an era where he and I are unironically excited to play ports or spiritual successors of CD-i games.

@PinderSchloss I love your handle and avatar. I was just thinking of that movie!

An old friend of mine and I always wanted to at least try out the CD-i Zelda games, just for a laugh. I guess this upcoming game is the next best thing? We'll see.

@Switcher2023 Oh, yeah! I've played both of the original games, and while I understand that the second game on the Wii was very slow-paced, I vibed with it just fine. I do like Ashley a lot, and I'm really excited for when I can finally play the remakes!

Cowgirl Peach... my only weakness... 🥹

I’m picking up my copy tomorrow. Criticisms of molasses-esque pacing, while understandable and justified, only make me go, “Yeah, that’s Another Code, all right!”

While this isn't the kind of "Lunar" game I'm used to (this is a joke about my avatar), I'm curious! I'll look more into this.

Right now, I'm most curious about how cutscenes are handled. Like, will it use the same FMVs, even in this remastering? Will the original recorded voices be present?

Felix the Cat NES is one of my earliest video gaming memories, so this does my attention. I'll think about it. If only I had a Bag of Tricks!

“E10+?! That is far too intense for my child! Tch! Anyway, let’s go watch a PG-rated movie…!”

@Tryffel Yeah! I still have some of the music tracks to this day.

I played Rayman 3 on the GBA in a camping trip. I never played the ‘real’ version of Rayman 3, but the GBA version was like a direct sequel to the first Rayman, gameplay-wise. Completely unrelated to gaming, that was the same trip when I first read “The Great Gatsby”, so I’ve always lumped Rayman and F. Scott Fitzgerald together, in my mind.

I've been a very big Princess Peach/Toadstool fan my whole life. My good buddies know this, and when we played Wonder, they asked me how I felt about Elephant Peach, Slime Peach, Balloon Peach, etc.

I said that I feel like the lover of a romantic partner, in a horror movie, and my partner has been transformed into a werewolf, or some monstrosity. I'd hold Peach's hands (or slime?) and say, "It's okay. I still love you. We can get through this." I'd clench my eyes shut, tilt my head down, and cry, but I'd mean every word. "We'll get through this. I'm still here, by your side."

Then I concluded my rambling jokes to my friends with, "Nah, it's all good. Princess Peach works in mysterious ways."

The only trouble I had was the motion puzzle, where I had to slide a key out. Maybe it was my Pro Controller, but switching to handheld mode helped.

Personal opinion here: Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is better than any of these Ace Attorney games--yowza, I can't type that with a straight face! Though it would be surprising if that game was re-released!

I'm excited! I never played an Ace Attorney game I disliked, and I was surprised how much I really enjoyed Spirit of Justice, despite some flaws. I pre-ordered my physical copy of this collection. Meanwhile, I personally wish the Investigations games would get enhanced ports/remade for the West, simply because I've never played Investigations 2.

@XiaoShao As I type this, I'm literally looking at that Layton crossover's cover art, which I have framed on my wall! That game holds a special place in my heart!

Of all the reveals, Richter Belmont actually got me to flip out.

Wow. All right! That box art convinced me to go physical this time!

Oh, my gosh, playing that NES Felix the Cat game is one of the earliest gaming memories I have!

I actually won a costume contest at a recent Halloween event/party, and the winnings will help me buy this remake.

I believe I'll keep my OLED Switch, as some others have said, for trips and travel.

And here I was, hoping for a Prince of Egypt track or song! Well, I already have Mario Kart 8 and some other kart-racers, so I'll pass on this.

Style Savvy: Trendsetters is, honestly, one of my top favorite 3DS games, regarding enjoyment and nostalgia. I enjoyed the Style Savvy games very much, and I guess I wanted Fashion Dreamer to be like that series, but in HD! And (if desired) on the TV! Based on this review and others, no, this isn't what I'm looking for. Ah, well! Maybe if the price goes down drastically.

Happy 18th Birthday, NintendoLife! 🎂 I can date when I first learned about this site (via a podcast). It was when The Calling on the Wii was coming out. I’ve followed this site since, which happens to be one of my primary sources for Nintendo news!

So, like Jacob Marley, "This game was dead, to begin with."
Heh. Actually, I so want to play this game, but I can't abide the bugs. Yeah, I'll sit this out and wait for patches that will (hopefully) make this playable.

If one is very lousy at typing on the keyboard, Mario Teaches Typing is brutal!

In seriousness, I’ll also chime in on Lost Levels and Sunshine. 3D World’s Champion Road was a vicious beast that I eventually tamed with all characters (Yikes!), and a casual gamer friend of mine is having a devil of a time with Galaxy 2.

I got the first Detective Pikachu on my 3DS, but I don’t think I’ll replay it if I get Returns. Will I get the sequel? Well, I’m still tackling The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, and I got some other games in queue. Maybe someday, but not now.

That video just reminds me how I’m counting the days. Almost there…!

I’m definitely rewatching the first episode!

Seeing Quest for Camelot listed made me loudly gasp and say, “What the?!” That game was my lone companion on a school field trip, many years ago!

I’ll check out this Direct when I can! I’ll also be busy.

Well! This takes me back to the high school days when I'd sneakily play a Newgrounds game in computer class. I had the GameCube version, but I'd be more than curious to get this on Switch, if the price is right!

I met Mr. Martinet once, and he was so kind. Very warm and funny. This news affected me, but, as long as it was his decision, I'm happy for him and his further ventures!

@zitpig You have cleared away some of my game memory fog! Thanks so much! 😄 I looked it up and, yep! That’s the one!

Let's see. In the 1990s, I played an arcade game that had a top-down perspective of the violent action, and, sometimes, the playable character would get launched upward toward the camera, with a gaping hole in his abdomen. For some bizarre reason, I never figured out the name of that game, even with Google searches. Or I simply didn't dig deep enough. Ah, well!

For the Sega Genesis, there was a cartoony strategy game where you played as a (again, cartoony) general, and there were museum-esque busts of said generals eventually. I think.

One more, also for the Genesis! A possibly isometric-perspective CIA/some kind of special forces agent game that had a level involving a limousine that you had to protect.

Yeah, I got a few, heh. To give an example of a game that used to be "ungoogable" to me yet I eventually figured it out: Mixed-Up Mother Goose, a computer game.

Many years ago, I was part of a selfmade RPG with a group of friends. To make a long story short, at one time, Sailor Mars battled with the Great Mighty Poo. Ah, those were the days!

Back on topic. If this was within my budget, I’d have strongly considered it. I was a big Conker fan back then. Alas, I’ll save the promotional images and leave it at that!

Of all the things and facts demonstrated in this video, this got me misty-eyed nostalgic over Lemmings. My gosh, I haven't touched a Lemmings game in a very long time, but that launched me back to computer rooms in schools! Also, I'm now curious about that The Flash game... but curious enough to pay the general price I see on eBay. Good warning!

When I was in speech and debate class in high school, I actually ripped off the names of some of the characters in this game for my impromptu speech (Lotte and Anne). That’s how much I enjoyed the game, when I first played it as a freshman. I’m definitely giddy about this news!

It reminds me of a specific Leisure Suit Larry title…

I adore the animation. I’d love a proper show of this quality!

Princess Peach has always been my favorite Nintendo character, from kindergarten to now. This movie doesn't quite nail into the "games Peach" to "badass Movie Peach" transition as well as I think it should've. Before you aim your Bullet Bills at me, I liked her Movie version! I just... well...

Personally, if I could've added one short scene to make that transition go smoother, to my taste, it'd go like this: We first meet Princess Peach not in the throne room, but in the kitchen. She's baking a cake, or other treats, maybe softly humming to herself chirpily, in a manner more aligned to the original games. Then--long story short--she has to clonk a rascal/bandit/antagonistic character on the head with a rolling pin, or even a straight-up punch, no assistance needed. And from then on, she's revealed to be far more athletic and battle-ready than how we usually know her.

A Toad: "Princess! We just got word that Bowser (blah blah)!"

Peach: [her face goes from 'cute' to 'sternly serious, ready for action'] "Call everyone for briefing, at once! I'll be there."

Something like that, if I may be selfish and entitled, heh! Because, for me, personally, the range between "original games" to "borderline out of character" is cranked up way too hard for her. I'd like to have had some form of transition.

But, hey! No matter! I still enjoy the movie, having watched it twice, and I'm definitely getting the eventual Blu-Ray. 7/10!

My sister, who had never played a Sonic game nor watched anything Sonic-related throughout the years, was shocked to learn Knuckles is not female. "Knuckles just has those eyes," she said. Well, there's that!

I'm very curious this upcoming show. I also appreciate seeing that hat from that old anime!

@ComfyAko Hotel Dusk! Your comment is the first to make me slam my desk and point to your suggestion with a finger snap. "Yeah!" I'd love to slip into an alternate dimension where Hotel Dusk has already been adapted into a solid movie!

Um... I'd like to see a Luigi's Mansion, but as has already been said, I'd dig a Punch-Out!! or StarTropics movie.

Three of my dear friends and I promised each other two, three years ago that we'd wait until we could get together to watch the then-announced Mario Bros. Movie. Long story short, we waited for the movie to be released, and then waited some days more, just so all of us could check it out. I knew that, regardless of how I felt about the movie (7/10), it would become a favorite "event movie" experience for me, forever!

I’ve long forgotten how to solve factoring problems, but I will always remember this melody until the day I die.

Well, that’s definitely one way to skirt the landing! I want to watch this movie badly.

@JustMonika Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties is the primary reason I keep checking this site. I will not rest until I have it!

I posted this in the video's comment section, but I'll reiterate it here. I have so many fond memories of getting hits in StreetPass, especially from two people in my rural town. Strangers to me, I didn’t know ‘em, but they were StreetPass buddies. For months, I’d get flashes of green on my 3DS and see their Miis at my gate. Over a year later, my family went to Disneyland (which is far away from my rural neck of the woods), and I got two StreetPass alerts. I looked, and at the gate… those pair of StreetPass buddies from home! At first, I figured I got their Miis from before the trip and forgot to go to the Plaza to greet my collected Miis. But, no! The next time I got their passes in Disneyland, hours later, they wrote similar messages: "WHAT THE?" “RU IN DISNEYLAND” It was surprising but also very cool. It's a small world after all, har-har.

When I finally did meet them in person, back home and 'after the fact', we shook hands and pretty much laid a great StreetPass memory to rest, only to begin a new one in real life. All thanks to StreetPass!

My favorite StreetPass memory outside of those two people? Playing Mii Force's Cerulean Tower immediately after a trivia tournament, in a hotel lobby. That stuck out to me.

Sorry, Nintendo Life! I recognized this as an April fool immediately! Come back when you’re a little, MMMMM, subtler!

Haha, nah! I loved this! 😄

I'll modestly bet my chips on Rosalina.

Edit: Hehe whoops.

Part of me feels sorry for Katrielle. But then the rest of me politely asks her to step aside so I can get to a real Layton game, so...! I'm thoroughly happy with this incoming game. Truly.
