Just in time for spooky Halloween time!

Ouch that’s a big delay, and we don’t even really know a date either. Jan-March basically, and that’s even if early 2022 holds.

Looks absolutely stunning.

My most prized collectible is a Japanese Game & Watch when I visited Japan for work reasons. It was in this little game store, and we could barely understand each other, but we eventually got there lol.

It sits in my gaming cabinet with all my other Nintendo things, like my Splatune soundtrack and amiibos.

I’d definitely buy a new Warioware game. I love the series.

Sometimes I do. I have replayed some Nintendo games like Pikmin, Zelda and Mario; and from Sony, both The Last of Us games (working on part 2 again for the second time). It usually is games I absolutely love.

That said, it’s usually shorter games that I’ll replay. It would be difficult for me to play through a game like Skyrim, or Witcher 3 again — just cause there’s just so much content and story to get through. They are wonderful games though.

It’s happening, it’s just a matter of when. Nintendo has been refreshing hardware forever, especially anything that’s handheld.

My friend and I played this so much back in the day, I can’t wait to relive the experience again.

I like collecting amiibo, and this one is gorgeous, but $25 is way too much. Gonna have to pass.

No thanks. I generally don’t game while I’m doing my taxes.

I can see this being absurdly expensive. One reason the Game Boy was such a success, was because it was much cheaper than the competition.

Zombies ate my Neighbors is so good! I can’t wait to play this again!

Well done, the game is amazing. 6 million in about one month is crazy fast. I can’t wait to dig into the update.

Man... this would have been so welcome a year ago. I’ll soon be able to get with my friends again cause we’ll all be vaccinated.

“An example is Iwata's humility in apologising and taking a sizeable pay-cut when slashing the price of the 3DS so early”

This is why I respect the man — who does this? No one. All too often, it’s the regular workers who get the shaft while the CEO gives themselves a 20% raise.

Oxenfree was great. Really cool concept with fantastic dialogue, especially for an indie title. I’ll happily pick up the second game.

Yes! This makes me so happy. I figured it was coming to Switch, but it’s nice to get the confirmation. This is a day one buy for me.

I can relate to a degree, though I never really went online much in the past entries so I guess I saved myself the embarrassment lol. I woulda been trash in the older games.

But with Rise, I’ve really found my groove with monster Hunter for the first time. I just felt like the older games were a chore even though I liked the overall concept, and I’d fall off after a few hours.

But the QoL improvements just make this game get to the fights much faster, and boy do I appreciate it. The fact that some things get auto crafted, I can go for a ride, climb walls, know where the monsters are, just improved almost all of my previous gripes.

If you’re into that kind of stuff from the old games, I understand the complaints, but to me they were just a chore half the time — just too much to keep track of. This game gets you into the action so much faster, and now I’m a better hunter because of it. Love this game.

I started playing this yesterday, and man, is it fun. I do wish it gave a little more insights into how to play the game strategically. For instance, I had no idea eating all the pellets on the board gave you a speed boost. I only learned this by reading this review.

Regardless, it’s a great pick up and play game — perfect for handheld on your couch.

I picked up doom eternal. The port is great so far. Runs really well for being on Switch.

Just Pokémon snap for me, it’s gonna be quiet for me and that’s all right, I have plenty to play.

That shadow box is really cool. Too expensive for me, but awesome for those who want it.

Welcome back Mr. Whitehead.

I really love it so far. Far too often with these games, I fell off after a few hours, but this one has me hooked. Primarily because it’s just so much faster and easier to get around. Riding and the wire bugs make it a breeze to get around so I’m really, really enjoying it. The older games just felt like a slow slog to me. Online has been very easy to join too.

@JaxonH

Ah, I thought so, thanks for clarifying.

@F_T_Wolf

You’re very welcome, I hope you enjoy the site, I’ve been around for a few years and most of the people on here have good intentions. As it’s grown, there’s definitely been more troll accounts, but you’ll have this anywhere. Just ignore them, most of them go away when no one pays attention to them.

I’ve had good discussions with people on here, even if we walked away not agreeing. Different perspectives are not a bad thing, and I’m wiser because of it. See you around the site!

@samuraicop

I thought the updates were going to be free, did I miss something? I know you could buy cosmetics and stuff but I was of the understanding that the post game content was going to be free.

Also best of luck with your work situation. I got laid off for a while and it was a difficult time. I hope things turn around for you soon, hang in there.

@F_T_Wolf

Tom is a very talented writer. His articles had a smart and witty tone to them. You could just tell that he enjoyed what he did, it showed in the writing. And his tenure even went through the dreaded Wii U days, so it wasn’t even cheery news, lol. So I’m excited to see him write about more prosperous days for Nintendo.

Excited to see the new team too, lots of talent all around.

Also welcome to NL!

I’m not expecting Monster Hunter World numbers, but Rise should do very well. So far the game is great, it really picks up the pace which I appreciate so much. I liked the older games but didn’t love them cause they always turned into a slow slog for me.

Welcome back Tom, you’re writing was always stellar! And props to Kate, that’s quite a resume.

And congrats to the new positions for everyone, I hope it’s a fun and challenging position to grow your skills. Cheers!

I used to go to GameStop all the time, but I haven’t been there in years now. There’s just absolutely no incentive to go to GameStop anymore. Their deals, if you can even call them that, are pitiful, and their online infrastructure is just awful. I tried to get new joy cons shipped to my house cause of the pandemic, I ordered them, then ten minutes later, I get an email that my order was cancelled, lmao. If they were out of stock, why could I order them to begin with??

I ended up ordering from Target, got free shipping, and got them in two days. And that was my absolute last interaction with GameStop. Just no incentive at all to go there anymore.

I’m very excited for this, sounds like a winner.

Sounds interesting, but it has to have a hook to it, otherwise it’ll be forgotten in a week.

This game is very special to me. It was a one in a million chance, that it came at the exact right moment. Everything was shut down, I was laid off (I’m back now, thank goodness — I hope everyone else can get back to normal too), and terrible news constantly, but Animal Crossing gave some relief and comfort.

I’m still playing. Not every day, but a few times a week, usually. I love all kinds of games, action, puzzles, multiplayer, horror — but sometimes it’s just nice to plant flowers and listen to how Kid Cat is working out today.

Please, please, please come to Switch! This is nostalgia done right. I would think it would, the switch has a great base of players. I would buy it on day one.

And kudos to that trailer, it’s like I’m living in the 90s again.

I love warioware. I really hope a new one is in the works.

@Darkyoshi98

Yup. I member. And it was just as baffling then, as it is now.

This is very anti consumer. What happens if someone gets a switch this Christmas?? We all know the price of these physical copies are going to be insanely high. Worse yet, Mario all stars easily could have been an evergreen title going forward.

Instead, nintendo is pulling the plug for no other reason than to create a scarce market. It’s exactly the same crap that Disney used to pull with the Disney Vault.

I think the most interesting bit about this remake is that it wasn’t made by game freak, and that obviously has to do with their more ambitious game. Just really interesting.

Not a big fan of the art style, but that’s all right, I’m not gonna lose sleep over it.

Lmao, people finally get what they’ve been begging for, and some still complain.

I personally can’t wait. I think this shake up is desperately needed. Sure, it seemed to have some rough edges, but the game still has a year to improve. I’m excited to see more.

This game releasing right after covid lockdowns caused it to be something of a cultural phenomenon. Everyone was playing it, and many people still are. A game that came just in time to help people cope with a terrible year.

I wish the Mario stuff was here earlier, but it’s very welcome nonetheless. I love this game.

Really great game. The graphics were really cool in motion, but it’s the music that takes the crown for me. I listen to the soundtrack all the time.

The joy cons are gorgeous, but I won’t be getting them. They will just end up getting drift anyway.

Just my two cents on the matter. I didn’t care for this one when it came out on Wii. I just got really bored of it, just too much backtracking and I lost interest.

I’m sure there’s a good game in there somewhere, and for those who loved it, that’s great for them.

Well this was a happy surprise! I love, love, love splatoon so much, this is a day one purchase for me. I can’t wait to see more details.

@Kidfunkadelic83

Yeah, it’s definitely... a lot. There’s tons, and tons of layers and mechanics. When I first played it I got trounced cause I didn’t know what I was really doing. But then it just clicked after 2 or 3 sessions.

The primary goal is to win with one of four ways, conquest, science, culture, or religion.

When you’re first starting though, just see what starts to play out to see what your best route may be. Let’s say you wanna go for a science win, definitely go full throttle on making special buildings, and wonders that benefit that, but also try to play defense with the other leaders if they start winning with one of the other ways. You wanna try to prolong their progress as long as possible while you try to make your own progress.

Also, keep those builders busy. Make lots of farms and mining tiles so that it helps your city grow better and faster. There’s also a mode where you can have an “advisor” who helps pick out the next course of action you should maybe focus on next.

Best of luck, keep trying, it’s very fun once it clicks.

This is really cool. The barbarians were always just kinda there, but this allows a more in-depth experience with them, if you choose. The other updates are very welcome. Love this game so much.

I’d love to see an anniversary collection of Zelda games, similar to the Mario one.

I loved the first Revelations on the 3DS, it’s one of my favorite 3rd party titles on there. It did get a bit off the rails at the end, and two characters specifically were cringeworthy, but I loved the environments and gameplay.

If this is true, I’m really excited.

@rjejr

Gotcha, good to know thanks. I actually have the switch copy, cause my wife is a huge fan, so I wanna play it soon. I figured the dlc was just extra fluff, but 12 hours isn’t bad, I’ll take it.

@rjejr

No I haven’t yet, but I do want to get to it soon. How was it? Like most of us, I have so many games in my backlog. I played Xenoblade on 3DS, and while I appreciated the effort, it just didn’t look so good on there. So I’m really looking forward to playing with the sharper graphics.

Haha Nopon are definitely better than Rabbids. There’s just something about Rabbids that I just don’t trust when they’re using their weapons haha.
