@NintendoByNature But who would upgrade to the expansion pack, if he/she wants new SNES games? Besides, thinking that Nintendo isn't releasing more NES/SNES games to make people pay for the upgrade is kinda dumb. And also makes absolutely no sense. I pretty sure the reason is, there aren't that much games left to release anymore.
It may be dumb and childish, but things like that are pissing me off. Same as, when i worked in retail and someone asked me, if we have Zelda for Playstation (or Super Mario, or Pokemon).
"... Clear features and defined faces are a large part of what make these Pokémon designs so close to the real thing ..." - WHAT??? That grey-blue Pokemon: Is this an egg on his body? Has it two tails or are those arms? If those are arms, why do they grow out of its butt? And the brown one, I don't even know where to start there. 😱
I never was thinking about if a game is short or not. What counts (for me) if it is fun or not. Also, what does "short" really mean? Super Mario World did entertain for weeks and maybe months, but in reality it was only a 10 hour game at most.
I really liked the gameplay and the atmosphere, but Samus' character and that "You can only use that, if I say so!"-bullcr*** was absolutely dumb and improbable. It maybe would have worked in a prequel or something, but given what Samus already had experienced, it was very unrealistic.
@SalvorHardin
I haven't played the game yet, but if you talk about the E.M.M.I. counter attack, I am pretty sure, you're not supposed to counter it easily (if at all). Of what I heard and saw, it's more or less luck if you counter an E.M.M.I. attack.
In my opinion, Paper Mario: TTYD and Paper Mario: TOK are the best two games in the series for different reasons. Maybe TTYD is better, but I would need to play both games back to back, to make a definite decision.
@BoostPower Unless you only want to play just a couple of games, NSO is way cheaper. Additionally, you can try games, which you probably never would have bought/played and maybe discover a gem or two.
@LUIGITORNADO
My main issues are that the term makes no sense for any game which is not a Castlevania and that many people are assuming, a "Metroidvania" is automatically a good game.
@Clammy If you're referring to this: "Metroid Dread will finally be in our hands in just two days' time, ...", they clearly meant "in our hands" as in the hands of gamers as a whole and not just the Nintendolife staff.

@NintendoByNature
So if you upgrade, Nintendo will suddenly releaase new NES/SNES games especially for you? 🤨

I got a Klesnaltalamoslybuzless and it looks as random as its name.
Re: Random: Mario And Bowser Are Being Used To Promote The PS5 In China
It may be dumb and childish, but things like that are pissing me off. Same as, when i worked in retail and someone asked me, if we have Zelda for Playstation (or Super Mario, or Pokemon).
Edit:
Also, Playstation has not really mascots.
Re: Best Of 2021: We Worked Out The Best Zelda Game Once And For All, Using Maths
40/40, 10/10 - What's the difference? Both sites gave the game a "perfect" score.
Re: Best Of 2021: We Worked Out The Best Zelda Game Once And For All, Using Maths
"We love Skyward Sword, but it's definitely not a 40/40 game" - Nintendolife review: 10/10. Makes absolutly sense. 🤔
Re: Video: We Forced A Bot To Create Switch Games That Don't Exist, And Now We Wish They Did
@NTELLIGENTMAN
It's "Punch-Out!: Ring the of Saturn", not "Punch-Out!: Ring of Saturn". Don't butcher the games title. 🧐
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2021
Balan Overlord not even at least on No.1?! BULLC*** LIST!! ☹️
Re: Random: These Bot-Generated Pokémon Might Be Better Than The Real Thing

That grey-blue Pokemon: Is this an egg on his body? Has it two tails or are those arms? If those are arms, why do they grow out of its butt?
And the brown one, I don't even know where to start there. 😱
Re: Poll: What's The Best Switch Game Of 2021? It's Time To Rate Your Favourites
Balan Overlord, no doubt! But I had this weird glitch, where the shoulder buttons didn't make the character jump. 🤔
Re: Gallery: Here Are Six New Screenshots Of Sonic Frontiers, Coming To Nintendo Switch Holiday 2022
I don't know much about Sonic, but aren't his main games supposed to be jump 'n' runs/platformers? 🤔

Stop spreading lies or get your infos straight. 🙄
Since when can you only play this online? And what manipulation exactly?
Re: Afterimage Is A Beautiful Hand-Drawn 'Metroidvania' Heading To Switch Next Year
That's not a Castlevania game and thus it can't be a "Metroidvania". 🧐
(Some day, I will get bored fighting the term "Metroidvania". BUT NOT TODAY!)
Re: The Game Awards Has A "World Premiere" It's Been Working On With A Dev For 2.5 Years, And One Guess Is Zelda
If it is Nintendo related at all, it's either Metroid Prime 4 or something new.
Re: The Switch Is Here To Stay, Says Nintendo Boss Shuntaro Furukawa
@chipia
Why want some people not learn, that the Switch is a hybrid and not a handheld.?
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold 92.87 Million Units, And It's Catching The Wii
@abugida
How is the Switch not (also) a home console? I play my Switch at home, connected to a TV almost all the time.
Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?
@Al_Godoy
Okay, and what does your Switch say?
Re: 25 Games That Are Better On Switch OLED
None of those games are better on the OLED Switch and EVERY game looks better on it. 🤷♂️
Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?
@Al_Godoy
So you played the game for just undet 9 hours? How do you know this?
Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?
@Pokester99
How do you know this? Did you stop the time when playing?
Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?

Re: Review: Crysis Remastered Trilogy - A Slick FPS Package That Runs Fine On Switch
Odd. I'm pretty sure I read an article here, that Crysis Trilogy isn't coming to the Switch. 🤔
Re: Random: Forget Dread, It's All About Metroid: Other M On Twitter Right Now
I really liked the gameplay and the atmosphere, but Samus' character and that "You can only use that, if I say so!"-bullcr*** was absolutely dumb and improbable.
It maybe would have worked in a prequel or something, but given what Samus already had experienced, it was very unrealistic.

Re: Don't Worry, 3D All-Stars' Super Mario 64 Will Still Likely Be The Definitive Switch Version
It's only the definitive edition, if you can play it with a N64 controller.

Re: UK Sales Data Shows A Strong Start For Switch OLED
@Bunkerneath
Don't hear much (if anything) about Switch Lite drifting. Why is that?
Re: UK Sales Data Shows A Strong Start For Switch OLED
@mariomaster96
I wouldn't spend 350€ just to play in handheld mode.
EDIT: Personally, I see the benefits more in tabletop mode.
Re: Ori The Collection Is Out Now For You Switch Physical Collectors
@Ron22
Metroid is not and can not be a "Metroidvania". 😉
Re: Ori The Collection Is Out Now For You Switch Physical Collectors
I tried the demo, but it isn't for me. Just hate those floaty controls (which sadly many games nowadays have).
Re: Soapbox: Paper Mario: TTYD Is 17 Years Old Today, But It's Still A Masterpiece
In my opinion, Paper Mario: TTYD and Paper Mario: TOK are the best two games in the series for different reasons. Maybe TTYD is better, but I would need to play both games back to back, to make a definite decision.

What do you mean?
Re: Poll: What's A Fair Price For The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack?
@BoostPower
Unless you only want to play just a couple of games, NSO is way cheaper. Additionally, you can try games, which you probably never would have bought/played and maybe discover a gem or two.
Re: Poll: What's A Fair Price For The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack?
I say it will be 5,99€ a month, 9,99€ for 3 months and 29,99€ for a year.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Will Be 60Hz In Europe After All
@Grumblevolcano
WHAT?! Clearly, greedy Nintendo will charge 600$ a day!!!
Re: Soapbox: What Makes A Game A Good Metroidvania Anyway?
@LUIGITORNADO
My main issues are that the term makes no sense for any game which is not a Castlevania and that many people are assuming, a "Metroidvania" is automatically a good game.
Re: Soapbox: What Makes A Game A Good Metroidvania Anyway?
@Savage_Joe
You didnˋt explain anything, boy. Or do you mean that control-method nonsense? What has that to do with anything?
Re: Here's Your First Look At The Switch Box Art For Kirby And The Forgotten Land
What exactly is there "The Last of Us 2"- or "Nier Automata"-like?
Re: Soapbox: What Makes A Game A Good Metroidvania Anyway?
@Savage_Joe
What "vania" part? There is not really a "vania" part.
Re: Soapbox: What Makes A Game A Good Metroidvania Anyway?
Only Castlevania games with the exploration parts of Metroid games are Metroidvanias.
Re: Best Metroid Games Of All Time
So essentially it is:
1. Metroid Prime
2. Super Metroid
3. Metroid Dread
Re: Video: Comparing The OLED, Switch, And Switch Lite Screens
I guess, this is with the standard (vivid) setting? Personally, I would definitely turn that off.
Re: EA Is Considering Dropping The 'FIFA' Name In Favour Of Something New
At least the Switch version they could call "HAHAHA SUCKERS! 23". 👍
Re: Round Up: The Metroid Dread Reviews Are In

But what exactly did happen here?
Re: Round Up: The Metroid Dread Reviews Are In
@Clammy
Where does it say, they where only able to test it on the OLED Switch? 🤨
Re: Review: Metroid Dread - Quite Possibly The Best Metroid Game Ever Made

According to Famitsu, Metroid Dread is as good as that eFootball game. 🧐

Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
I'm okay with anything, as long as it's not some new age hype character (like Fortnite). And even then, I have the freedom to just not care.
