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.

Mah boi! Choosing the bottom tier and rooting for the underdog is what all true warrior strive for! But I also admire TP’s Link transforming into a wolf. I went to a school whose mascot was a Wolf, so that was a fun inside joke between some students and myself.

I cannot begin to express how elated I am to see Professor Layton and Luke again, like this.

I read about half these comments then gave up and scrolled to here, haha! Guess that says something about me. Well, personally, I think the original staff should still he credited, but a generalized one-liner’s better than nothing. Still, I’m really enjoying this Remaster, so thanks to everyone, past and present.

I do like to stick it out with credits in games and movies, mostly because I have a strange feeling of completion.

I love this marketing. Love the site, love the phone message—I’m so hooked on the Brothers now! Speaking of the website, click on the red Call & Text Us Now! icon at the top right, and you’ll hear another easter egg… beyond the NES era!

@sForzan Yeah! Exactly! How can one shut up with this shocking news?!

Of all the surprise announcements in this Direct, this is the one that actually got me to scream loudly. It made my day! I could weep in joy, knowing that Professor Layton is returning. I seriously thought he was gone forever! I thought his franchise was done for, I could’ve sworn!

I seriously thought this was a spiritual successor to Style Savvy—same universe and developer. Guess not! I really wanted SS on the Switch, but I think this game will do.

Edit: @SakuraHaruka Ah! That explains a lot! Thank you.

At this point, I would be surprised if the pumpkin house is not at all connected to Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother, who has yet to be officially confirmed.

@KayFiOS My sentiments exactly.

Picks up phone and magically calls his 9-year-old self
“Hey, my past self! Remember that big crush you have on Princess Peach? Well, here’s a poster for you. Merry Christmas!”

I was really into The Smurfs when I was a tyke (one of my childhood gifts is a production cel of Smurfette talking to another Smurf—still have it), so I’m glad to hear that some new Smurfs game isn’t so smurfed. I’ll also keep an eye out for a discount!
This smurfy coincidence might also explain why I’ve been humming the music from the GameBoy Smurfs games recently…

I originally played this game on the Wii, but I’d like to revisit the game with this upcoming release.

I haven't played this game in well over twenty years, I imagine, yet the moment I saw this news, a specific music from Glover played in my head. Then a sound effect.

Unless I’m mistaken, the only score of Mr. Tyler‘s I’ve crossed paths with is the Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers Movie. I distinctly remember thinking the music was the best thing about that flick, so I’m totally on board with this project! The recent teaser completely turned around my previously grumpy-grump-negative mindset, and I couldn’t be happier! 😄

Edit: Oh, I’m totally mistaken. I’m definitely familiar with other movies he’s scored. Guess that one was just fresh on my mind. Either way, cool!

Considering I hated the idea of this movie when it was first announced to be from Illumination (and this was well before the voice actors' reveal), the fact that I looked at this and thought, "Huh, a lot better than I feared!" is a very, very good feeling. Whew! Well, it's just me, of course. And speaking of "it's just me," I thought this looked like a mish-mash of Nintendo's Mario and Captain Lou Albano's Mario from "The Super Show." So, I'll Do the Mario for the remainder of the day.

@N00BiSH Smiles and knowingly raises index finger Ahh, that "Earl Boen/Jess Harnell" bit really hits me hard, yeah! LeChuck just was not the same at all.

But, as for Bayonetta, I've personally been a fan of Jennifer Hale for a very long time, so I'll press on with the game.

This does not deter my interest in the slightest. Let’s-a go!

I was wondering if there was a reason why I incessantly hummed the classic Puzzle Bobble theme for the past couple weeks…

The retired Earl Boen will be tremendously missed to me, but I'm very eager to finally play this thing!

I'm a sucker for many things "Alice in Wonderland", so I'll give this tea party table a sit. I've never heard of this, ever, somehow.
