Those are fantastic! I made A Hard Day’s Night and Dark Side of the Moon for the record collection personalization. Really looking forward to the upcoming update!
In 2006, while I was in high school, I went on an EF Tours trip to France (from Canada). I knew I was going to have trouble with international calls and didn’t want the headache. Still, I felt sort of bad that my family and I would be out of touch for ten days.
Then it hit me! The very last thing I did on my way out the door was grab my sister’s DS. I started up Wild World, made her character write a letter to herself, and set it for delivery for a week in the future.
When I got home the first thing my sister said was that she got my letter to her and it made her so happy. It still makes me feel fuzzy when I hear about how excited she was to get a letter from me in France on Animal Crossing.
The fact that the most pertinent allusion that this parasite is capable of is a refence to a Batman “film” is quite telling about his intellectual depth.
Also, glad he’s no longer there to run Square Enix further into the sludge. May his current employer suffer his incompetence instead.
This is 100% the fault of Donald J. Trump. I’ve never seen Nintendo do this before, then they do it for the first time during his extremely aggressive trade war. It takes no genius to understand this situation.
Back when the 3DS came out they literally dropped the price to increase sales. Of course, the world, or at least the US, was run better back then.
It’s sad to see members of a certain destructive cult trying to disguise their glee at people, and especially journalists, losing their jobs.
Journalists of all sorts and stripes make an essential contribution to a dynamic and and strong society. Their work is deeply appreciated by myself and many others
Instead of tearing people and society down, perhaps they should try to build something themselves, if they have any valuable skills or expertise whatsoever, that is.
I agree, that’s normal, and I’m not upset. But I’m inclined to believe the United States and its citizens’ decision are the main driver in much of this current price and absolutely certain it will be the reason for any further potential increases.
All the Xbox players I know seem to despise Microsoft and a lot of the gamers I talk to seem to be switching to PC lately. I expect Xbox will go before PlayStation and become some kind of app.
I have played the translation, and one day I intend to play through it in Japanese, but that’s gonna be a while. Although I really do enjoy Mother 3, it doesn’t feel like a part of who I am like Earthbound does.
Although I enjoyed it well enough, all I really want from Paramount is oodles and oodles of Star Trek. Anything that eats away at Trek budgets is on my naughty list.
People are too obsessed with technical metrics. The game runs and plays just fine. It’s also a good deal of fun, for anyone who is still looking to actually have some.
As untrustworthy as police are in general, the international cabal of them who were headquartered in Germany during a particularly “historical” period are even more so.
What a jerk. That’s far from an apology for the despicable way these dedicated and skilled people were treated like simple props for his big production.
What an interesting thought. Hundreds of years is such a long time and it’s neat to imagine recognizable pieces of the present sticking around into the far future.
I think it’s ironic how so many people are saying that they wish this was animated after all the whining about cell-shading back when Wind Waker and its spin-offs were made.
Setting aside nitpicking about a film we know next to nothing about, I’m so excited to find out who will play Link.
I’d cast Jack Quaid, because I I adore him in everything he appears in and I feel like a Brad Boimleresque interpretation of Link would be lovely.
It makes me sad that Nintendo is so much less interested in accessibility now than it was back in the NES days. That old controller was so ahead of its time.
Perhaps they haven’t seen the unbelievable ports that I have. I know there are limitations, but I have a number of games that I never would have believed could run on Switch until I saw them do it.

Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
Two. Per. Year…
My shelf would be pretty paltry.
Re: Feature: Nintendo's New App Reminds Me Of A Universal Truth: It Feels Good To Squash Mario's Face
The bubble game is actually pretty fun once you figure out what to do. Looking forward to getting this on my niece and nephew’s switches.
The fact that it’s only on the Japanese Eshop isn’t so bad, as there is next to no text present, and what is is in English.
Re: Star Trek: Resurgence
This is wonderful to hear. Now they just need to get that Voyager: Across the Unknown on Switch 2 and I’ll be satisfied for quite some time.

Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed
Sure, it’s a slightly annoying patch, but the problem isn’t giant to begin with and the game is great anyway.
What a whiny bunch.
Re: Back Page: Every Game Should Have A Cow
I’m so happy to see you still writing for this site!
I think the temporarily blue cow from Earthbound deserves at least an honourable mention.
I also want to thank you for your more recent list based article, things like that are why I love Nintendolife. Awesome as always!

Re: Editorial: Gamers, Support The People And Sites You Love, Before It's Too Late
Myself, I consider most reporting on anything political in some sense or another. Unlike some people, that doesn’t have me clutching my pearls.
I actually find this site fairly political, but in the good way. Informed and compassionate reporting is exactly what I am looking for.

You Americans must be getting tired of WINNING. All good up here in the great white north, though.

Jack Quaid as Link. He could be slightly less frantic than Boimler but still a touch funny.
Re: Analyst Fears U.S. Tariffs Could Spell Disaster For Physical Games
I was expecting to block half the commenters, but luckily Nintendo fans seem to be an unusually sane bunch.

Good suggestion! I’ll do that now.

You get the six player small and four player tiny maps. Hoping for a Switch 2 update.
Re: Review: Star Trek: Legends (Switch) - Competent Combat But Fails To Engage
I’m just going to go back to Subnautica so I can launch my escape beacon roleplaying as Captain William Boimler lost in the multiverse.
That feels more like a Star Trek game than this.

Re: Switch Is Getting A New Star Trek Game For Christmas
@Lizuka
I’m really going to miss it too! Seeing that it was ending broke my heart a little.
On the other hand, THAT “Fully Dilated” guest star has my hopes very high for an amazing end to the series. Anything you hope to see or expect?
Re: Switch Is Getting A New Star Trek Game For Christmas
I would buy any game where Data, The Doctor, and the lower deckers can team up! I’ll be picking this one up for sure.
Re: Saudi Public Investment Fund Considering Increasing Its Stake In Nintendo

Re: Soapbox: The Trauma Of Giygas & Growing Up In EarthBound
@RetroGames
I have played the translation, and one day I intend to play through it in Japanese, but that’s gonna be a while. Although I really do enjoy Mother 3, it doesn’t feel like a part of who I am like Earthbound does.
Re: Pizza Tower Finally Dashes Onto Switch Today
Ugh, that is not the art style I ever want in anything. It should stay in the nineties.
Re: Soapbox: The Trauma Of Giygas & Growing Up In EarthBound
Earthbound is probably my favorite game of all time. I don’t know if I’ll ever find another game that will affect me like it did.

What a brainlessly stupid title. I love Tintin but I don’t believe there has ever been a good Tintin game.

Re: Reaction: What's Your Gut Feeling On The Zelda Movie News?
@Yel333
Very accurate!
Your point?
Re: Talking Point: So, Who Could Play Link, Zelda, Ganondorf In The Upcoming Zelda Movie?
Jack Quaid as Link! He’s adorable, nerdy, and can play an earnest and heroic character.
