MarioLinkSamus

@Magician This one's a good one with friends/family. Worth trying. Also, I wonder if you played the SNES version. That was great too.

@EL_DANIMAL Same. It would have been perfect for all those extra dark areas. I'm guessing they tried putting it in, but failed. I wish someone with knowledge could explain this big omission. How could the GameCube version have it, but not the Switch??

It should be noted that the GCN controllers' analog triggers don't work in the remaster like they did in the original. In the original, a slight depress of the L button locks Samus' aim and allows her to strafe and pressing it all the way in locked-in on an enemy. I haven't tested it myself, but now apparently it simultaneously locks in on an enemy and strafes with any input on the L button. I don't believe this can be fixed with a patch since this is a hardware issue, but I'm not certain. Anyone know for sure?

Fun article, thanks.

@larryisaman Yes, my biggest gripe with Dread and Other M were very unforgettable, stock-like soundtracks.

A good musical score is a core tenant of the Metroid franchise. We got it with Metroid, Super Metroid, and Metroid Prime — 3 of the best Metroids in the franchise. Return to the roots of delivering a score that helps engross us further into the sci-fi world. Please don't overlook the music Retro.

That was fun. Thanks for the Alien Isolation tip.

@The_BAAD_Man I don't necessarily agree with your comment, but it made me laugh. +1

The question is, what will Nintendo's game-changing hardware feature be for Switch 2?

If streaming technology was there, the Switch could theoretically play all games no matter what system they're on. Like it or not, it's the future. I hope they figure it out from a business and technological perspective for our sake.

Awesome choices. How dare you make us choose 1

Congratulations to Nintendo and Ubisoft. I think they have something special here. Can't wait to play it.

As the Switch continues to age, the 3rd party ports remind me more and more of the ones that plagued the Wii, especially toward the end of its lifecycle. I hope Nintendo does not repeat the same mistakes it made then.

Unfortunately I felt it was

• too long
• many of the games showcased looked too similar (lots of emphasis on turnbased games, farming/sim games, anime style games)
• left me wondering what Nintendo's heavy hitter will be for the Holidays

My first thought: there's 53 of them?!

@Mana_Knight I logged in to give you a heart. My brother and I as well. Still remember the password DDFFI.

Not familiar with the "Inventory Slot Transfer" which the video doesn't explain.

@Lizuka Of all the tracks, it does feel the most "unfinished".

A lot of hype, but we know very little how strategic this game will be. Don't get too excited yet everyone. It could simply be a game of who has the best cards.

I'm just as impressed with the editing as I am his work.

Maybe the game will coincide with the movie release.

Well done NintendoLife. Keep up the good work.

You can develop a will to win in just about anything in life. I believe it.

I think it's time Nintendo uses the billions it's sitting on to create an online infrastructure of its own.

Looks like an Overwatch knock off that is conspicuously lacking real Star Wars characters. I suppose those will be held behind a paywall. Pass.

I don't care if they make the dislike number private, but make the thumbs up private too then. Stop trying to police opinion.

This is pretty brilliant.

I don't know Japanese and I don't know who this group is, but I found myself watching a lot of that.

Love the idea of Goku and Tetris as fighters. Good suggestions.

It would be very Sakurai to reveal TWO characters tomorrow. One will be a Nintendo fighter and the other a 3rd party character. Maybe the Nintendo fighter will be Miyamoto...

Seriously these games can be a lot fun with the right crowd.

Just as chaotic as a Japanese game show.

Fun list, but if you're going to include Paper Mario, then I'm going to include Super Mario RPG.

1. Super Mario RPG
2. Mario Galaxy
3. Super Mario 64
4. Super Mario World
5. Super Mario 3

Don't forget the last major prediction from Bloomberg about Nintendo was waaay off!

@Jey887 I figured it was a UK phrase difference, thanks. In America we use "punt" in the opposite way thanks to our US football roots.

Just for clarification, when you say "as a story-driven adventure title, though, this one is absolutely worth a punt" — do you mean it's not worthy of playing? Reading the way this sentence is structured and the previous sentences and in the conclusion leads me to believe you're trying to say it deserves a play through.

Are we serious?

This underrated series gets overlooked by a lot it seems. Great games.

Neat article idea. Thanks!

Don't forget about Jet Force Gemini and the Jeff & Barry arcade machines.

Didn't Timesplitters have a hidden game too...

Remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up? Sakurai had his hand on that. On wonder how much influence that had on this game…

There will actually be two fighters. It will catch everyone off guard and be a pleasant surprise. The first one will be incredible and the second will be the cherry on top. You heard it hear first.

@GrailUK He's a humble guy. Gotta respect that.
