I sincerely hope that Mina turns out well and that Yacht Club doesn't fall on hard times. From what I played of the demo, the full game should deliver the goods and then some; let's just hope it gets the sales it deserves.

Nintendo are attempting to drag this game back into the public consciousness and drive more sales 👀

@NFrealinkling @scottdevine48 I absolutely wouldn't bet against it.

@Elektrogeist1287 well, that didn't take long. Just the Keymaster to find now 👍

I recently played through The Cosmic Shake for the first time (I'm trying to work through some of the large backlog of Steam games I've built up over the years). It was the very epitome of a 7/10 game; 10 hours of unspectacular but nonetheless fun platforming. Plus I finally get the appeal of SpongeBob, having been a series virgin prior to this. I'll definitely be looking at Titans of the Tide.

I unfortunately own and have played Gear.Club Unlimited 2. Going by what I've experienced, it's going to take a unanimously good critical reception (or one hell of a bender) to get me to try Gear.Club Unlimited 3.

Tomb Raider 2013 is such a good game. I've played the game twice; once on PS3, while my second playthrough was of the PS4 version, mostly through Remote Play on Vita. Even with the slight input lag it was a good experience, so I imagine it plays really well on Switch 2. 👍

I've got to admit that the costumes look infinitely better than I was expecting them to 👍

Rabble rabble rabble, I disagree with the ordering of this list, rabble rabble rabble.

In all seriousness though, Super Mario RPG (Switch) shouldn't even be on this list, let alone at #38 🤣

Next week, in a bid to put a stop to this, Nintendo will patent the cube.

@Dee123 it's amazing how a global superpower can be so insular.

This looks awesome. Out of interest though, how litigious is Square Enix?

I'm all digital on Switch 2 so it's personally a non-issue. I'm not eagerly anticipating Pokopia but my wife is going to go mental for it.

How a remaster of Plants vs. Zombies came out this borked and needed this many patches is beyond me. It's Plants vs. Zombies, not bloody Star Citizen.

@Nintoz I legitimately laughed out loud when I read that. Good work.

@Rhaoulos @1UP-HUSKY I assume retailers paid Nintendo for the rights to have the demo in their stores before it comes to the eShop, in an attempt to entice people to actually go to a physical store in 2025.

Not looking good for there being a new Animal Crossing anytime soon then.

@Nick2054 I love it.

@DarkTron not playing a game because they don't agree with its content or find said content upsetting is perfectly rational and perfectly valid. Dogpiling someone for making that decision - for themselves; not you, or anyone else - is the only irrational behaviour I can see.

My views - both on the game and religion - don't align with those of @SillyG, but I can show them enough respect to not belittle, berate and humiliate them for holding such beliefs, especially as they've not once tried to force those views upon others.

Why is this not titled Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Superfluous Title-Lengthening Words, Nintendo?

Don't tempt me. I've got The Binding of Isaac on four different platforms already and I'm most certainly not above adding a fifth.

@Elektrogeist1287 jumping down somebody's throat just because they don't share the same beliefs as you doesn't make you a good person either.

They're pushing this game more than Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza combined.

@USWITCH64 their handling of Mario Kart World post-launch support and content has been beyond tone deaf.

Year of Mighty, confirmed.

I play retro games via the method that requires me to say that I allegedly play retro games.

I'm going to have a proper look at this list later and see how it compares to Jeff Gerstmann's Ranking the NES list (so far). Should be interesting.

I plan to play it at some point. I gotta get me a Mega Starmie. Anyone seen that thing? It's absolutely wild 🤣

I hate that black border it puts on the screen when using GameShare. It's unnecessary, distracting and ugly.

Just take the bucket off your head, you absolute melt.

@ShadLink that's some Steiner maths, right there! But I like it.

I find the Switch's gyro aiming slightly less responsive than the Wii's motion controls, and the need to constantly press the R button to recenter the pointer is a little annoying.

They're still impeccable games though, so 9/10.

Ugh. Fine. I got them. Yes, I have more money than sense. Are you happy?!

I finished this last night (on PC). Spooky can get in the bin. Seriously, I've had less trouble with FromSoftware bosses.

@DiegoSynth Monolith doesn't still exist. It was shut down by WB Games earlier this year.

@nothankyou of course not. NL found a dead horse in 2017 and must keep flogging it.

This might be one for me to get. I never played Blood, but I do have a soft spot for games made in Build Engine, having spent a lot of time tinkering with it in my youth.

30fps isn't ideal, true. However, anyone who genuinely cares about good framerates shouldn't be playing third-party ports on a sub-£400 handheld.

Switch 2 is obviously not premium enough for such an optimal game.

More Vampire Survivors, and I started Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion last night.

I need that DK icon from Wave 4.

@rjejr Silksong being only $20 has really screwed a lot of developers over. Team Cherry knew that the game would be a massive runaway success, so charging only $20 was feasible, even though it's a large game and took 7-8 years to make. But it's caused many consumers to question why other games offer less content for more money, when the reality is that 99% of indie devs don't have the luxury of the pull and previous success that Team Cherry had.

@krogp and there are ways to raise awareness without spamming every comment section with complaints or statements about GKC's on articles that aren't even remotely relevant to the topic you're complaining about. And let's be real. Anyone commenting on this site knows about GKC's. You're not raising awareness; you're just shouting in an echochamber.

Email Nintendo. Write to Nintendo. Phone Nintendo. Spam Nintendo's social media. Absolutely complain about GKC because it is an important issue. But complain to the relevant people through the relevant channels.

@krogp please elaborate.

@Slideaway1983 it's so frustrating to know for a fact that the same people complaining about GKC's on NL or other comment sections are not also complaining to the relevant people through the relevant channels. Use your loaf, people.

@RupeeClock see, I agree with you that from a game preservation or customer satisfaction viewpoint, complaining about Game Key Cards is important, but on a comment section on a website completely unaffiliated with Nintendo, such comments - especially when repeatedly posted on every article on the site - are irrelevant and unnecessary. Anyone harping on about Game Key Cards in a Nintendo Life comment section is literally accomplishing nothing.

A game including more accessibility and/or difficulty options is only a good thing. Only a complete idiot would bemoan the inclusion of such things.

@Thomystic oh, believe me, I'm very rarely about 100%-ing games. But Wonder is so good and I enjoyed it so much that - even though that last stage was difficult and took me a fair bit of time to nail down - I actually wanted to do it. That scenario occurs only very occasionally for me. I finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth yesterday, having not done a lot of the side content because so much of it is just plain bad.

I shouldn't, but I will. I voted for "as soon as possible" but there's every likelihood that I'll pounce on the bundle day one.

@PJOReilly

As you can see from the trailer above, this one's is all about living your dream life on a little island full of terrifying Mii-styled characters.

They're not just terrifying to look at. Those voices were the stuff of absolute nightmares. They sound like text-to-speech from 10 years ago, but murderous.
