With Luigi's Mansion 3 and Pokémon before and during the holidah period and Animal Crossing before the end of the financial year, the Switch can easily hit 50 million units over Christmas. That Sword and Shield Lite will boost numbers as well!
@LUIGITORNADO @LeatherCorpse Let's not post offensive remarks towards other users. We all have personal preferences, which you might not agree with. You don't actually know Anti Matter in real life, so calling him mentally ill is a stretch, no?
Let's not do this again please. You wouldn't like it if people spoke about you like this, so don't do it to others.
@EvaEeveeFan Well, I play Nintendo mostly as well as Xbox from time to time and I don't believe I am "ill-informed", "stupid" or a "chav" so if we could just tone down the abusive comments that would be appreciated.
@EvaEeveeFan That comment was a bit stereotypical and has offended a few users. Can you refrain from generalising all people in one country as "stupid" in the future please? Thanks!
Honestly, as long as Nintendo still does their Direct presentation at E3, I'll be happy. Treehouse is a bonus - just don't let "influencers" host it. There are a few I like, but the guy who hosted 'Nintendo Presents at Gamescom' really annoyed me.
@Anti-Matter I'm sorry - I don't understand. In Splatoon, yes, you can shoot the other players. Here, you can't - you just shoot the targets. How do you feel guilty shooting targets?
Yes - when the price drops, which it will. LABO retailed at £59.99, you can now get it for £39.99. I'm expecting a similar situation here. It definitely looks interesting - hoping for a few new details!
Don't make me feel old Nintendo Life! Mario Kart DS was one of my first ever video games - I got stuck on the mission where you had to drive into the Bully and knock it into the lava!
Pilotwings on the NSO SNES app (I got my silver licence just now), maybe some Tetris 99 Daily Missions (I want the Nintendo themes), CTR to get Spyro and if I fall victim to the hype, I might end up purchasing my first ever Smash Bros. DLC character - Banjo and Kazooie.
I'll look into it - I was very close to buying XC2, but the size put me off. If this is a good price and it looks as good as people say it is, I'll probably pick it up.
Sure, Pokemon games are all a bit samey these days, and the graphics aren't the best. I'm not about to sit here and defend Game Freak's every move, but graphics really aren't everything. Sure they look nice, but if you judge games on graphics alone, that's the same as judging a book by its cover.
My point being, Pokemon games are always fun. They aren't the best games around, they definitely aren't the worst. It's also nice to see them taking (seemingly small) steps away from Pokemon with Little Town Hero and Giga Wrecker. I do hope they continue with these unique projects and maybe up the scope a bit to try and create something bigger. Nothing they ever make again will capture the same amount of people as Pokemon, but surely they know that. Game Freak aren't the best developer, but they definitely aren't the worst.
Why do the times always make no sense for UK gamers? I have to try and navigate YouTube the next morning, search "Nintendo Direct" and then find the official video without looking at any of the individual announcements. Awkward, as seeing the announcements individually kinda ruins the fun of wondering what will be shown. Like once I saw a Mario announcement and it ruined it for me.
I've heard nothing but good things about these games so assuming this rumour is true (which should be confirmed/denied within a couple of hours) I'll more than likely pick this up!

I really can't decide whether to get it today or wait for Christmas!

Re: Pokémon GO Has All Sorts Of Treats Planned For Halloween This Year
Those costumes for Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur are cute.
Re: UK Doctors Can Now Refer Young Patients To Be Treated For Video Game Addiction
@EvaEeveeFan Not everyone likes to play Nintendo games. It's basic free will. Stop making out that people who don't play Nintendo games are wrong!
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Terry's November Arrival In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
@GAMER1984dude I can confirm Nintendo Versus is an official account.
Re: First 4 Figures Teases Its Luigi's Mansion 3 Statue
I'd love most of their statues. If only money grew on trees like in Animal Crossing...

None of them really - I just clicked the link and I hate that face - it looks so bad!
Re: Video: Nintendo UK Reveals The Winner Of Its Link's Awakening Fan Art Competition
@Hissscratch139 I'm biased but I think mine was pretty good - not better than most of them, but better than some.

Mine wasn't even shown in the video
Re: Nintendo Switch Lite Has Slow Start In UK, But Retailers Expect That To Change
@EvaEeveeFan
"They are hardly going to be offensive."
"Most Xbox/PlayStation users can barely read anyway".
Stop posting offensive remarks - this is the last time.
Re: Nintendo Switch Lite Has Slow Start In UK, But Retailers Expect That To Change
@EvaEeveeFan I'm not "dogpiling" on you - I have simply asked that you don't make stereotypical comments that can be seen as offensive.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Zooms Onto Smartphones Tomorrow, Here's When It Goes Live
Chances are, this will drop early - most Nintendo mobile games have so far: keep an eye on the app stores everyone!

Re: E3 Reportedly Set To Be Rebranded As A "Fan, Media And Influencer Festival" Next Year

Re: All-New Dream Events Are Coming To Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
@Anti-Matter I'm sorry - I don't understand. In Splatoon, yes, you can shoot the other players. Here, you can't - you just shoot the targets. How do you feel guilty shooting targets?
Re: All-New Dream Events Are Coming To Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
@Anti-Matter But the shooting isn't even violent...you're just shooting targets, not other players.
Re: Talking Point: Ring Fit Adventure Is A Thing, But Is It Your Sort Of Thing?
Yes - when the price drops, which it will. LABO retailed at £59.99, you can now get it for £39.99. I'm expecting a similar situation here. It definitely looks interesting - hoping for a few new details!
Re: Mario Kart Tour Will Have Special Bonus Challenges Not Seen In Main Series Games
Don't make me feel old Nintendo Life! Mario Kart DS was one of my first ever video games - I got stuck on the mission where you had to drive into the Bully and knock it into the lava!
Re: Mario Kart Tour Will Have Special Bonus Challenges Not Seen In Main Series Games
@RadioHedgeFund Most games have play-to-win mechanics. That's the whole point!
Re: Someone Has Finally Found The Play Time Counter Limit On Nintendo Switch
The most I have done on Switch is 130 hours in BotW, the most I've done overall is 250 hours in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
I agree with others that this seems like a hack. Another user mentioned above that this is 11.11 hours a day. No way is this real.
Re: Poll: So, Which SNES Games Have You Been Playing On Nintendo Switch?
Pilotwings for 45 minutes (roughly), F-ZERO for about 5 minutes, same for Super Mario World and Link to the Past.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 7th)
Pilotwings on the NSO SNES app (I got my silver licence just now), maybe some Tetris 99 Daily Missions (I want the Nintendo themes), CTR to get Spyro and if I fall victim to the hype, I might end up purchasing my first ever Smash Bros. DLC character - Banjo and Kazooie.
Re: Niantic Pays $4m In Pokémon GO Trespassing Lawsuit, Will Introduce New Report System
@Friendly To be fair, would you want people asking to walk through your house and into your back garden just to catch Pokemon?
Back on point, the law getting $3,800,000 roughly of the settlement is just wrong. That's the real issue here.
Re: Feature: Just Who The Heck Is Terry Bogard, Smash Bros. Ultimate's Latest DLC Fighter?
I'm too young to have played Fatal Fury. As a result, I hadn't heard of Terry Bogard, although the face was familiar. I don't know why.
Re: Video: Here's How Xenoblade Chronicles' Switch Remaster Compares To The Wii Original

Why is this a problem? It's the same as on the XB1 and PS4 - the first game is on disc, the next two are downloads. Nothing's changed!
