Yep, yep for sure.

Also a XC amusement park sounds amazing, I wish that was real. “Riki’s Frontier Village” sounds like a place where I’d spend way too much money!

@rjejr

Haha, hopefully most people now agree that Animal Crossing is a major franchise, and has been for some time. I remember arguing with people about this a few years ago. I knew the franchise was just gonna get bigger.

I’m sure there’s still some who will fight me on it, cause that’s nintendoLife for ya, lol.

Man... Fantastic Mr. Fox is my favorite movie. I love the style, directing and voice acting. Having Star Fox in a similar style sounds amazing. What a shame it’ll never see the light of day.

“My suggestion would be that maybe we should all reset and forget about Bayonetta 3.”

Um ok. But you were the ones that announced it, checks notes, 3 years ago...

Nintendo’s plan: to fix millions of joy cons for the entire Switch cycle rather than just fix the problem. It’s just madness.

Given that this is a brand new game, with more complexity, I was actually expecting this conversion to be worse than Doom 2016 and Wolfenstien. But to my surprise, it seems like their best one to date. There really are some great, great ports to Switch, and not just from Panic Button. So it’s awesome to see these conversions nearly being the best they can be on the limited hardware.

It’s too bad the physical game got cancelled, but for what we have, this looks great.

Pikmin 3 is short, but it’s so good. Glad to see it’s getting the love it deserves. Is Pikmin 4 ready yet Nintendo??

This is a great move, Luigi’s Mansion 3 really solidified just how great this studio is. The animations were almost Pixar level. Federation Force was more a PR disaster than anything else, so it’s hard to blame them when Nintendo kinda boxed them into a corner with a bad idea.

@Park_Triolo

Your dad probably can beat up my dad, he has a bad back unfortunately, but let’s not bring our fathers into this!

“The problem can't be that big... and none of my friends have any issues, so really, I don't understand...”

I never said you denied the problem, since you actually admitted you, yourself had to swap sticks on your joy-con. But you certainly did downplay it. If it was a minor problem it wouldn’t be so widespread, to the point that there’s multiple lawsuits, and NoA is fixing them for free.

Also:

“Fact is I first experienced problems with my Joycons after 2 years of heavy use and the same goes for my friends with small variations.“

You really need to clarify this cause, if they did experience drift, it completely contradicts your first comment, when you said “none of your friends”.

Nintendo’s plan is to just run out the clock, while endlessly, fixing joy-cons. It’s just plain madness.

@Park_Triolo

I’ll see your “no one I know, has had the issue”, and raise you a “every single person I know has had the issue”

@Gwynbleidd

Lol, exactly what I was thinking actually.

Apparently, I hit a nerve yesterday when I said either don’t port it, or do it properly. But this is precisely why I want no part of a cloud gaming future.

The major gaming companies would love nothing more than to just drop a game on a server, charge you for it, then pull the plug whenever they feel like it. It is a further erosion of customer control. At least with a digital game, you likely have a couple of years to redownload it, so long as there’s an active digital shop.

The article yesterday said “this is the only way to get Control on Switch”, and while that may be true; a probable, more truthful answer to that is likely, “we won’t spend the time and resources to port it on a console that won’t sell as well.”

It’s not even all that cheap either, it’s $40 for a long term rental, I dunno, I just feel like that’s pretty expensive for something you can’t even keep.

Wow, I really hope people buy this game. Metroid has had a history of not selling great. At least compared to other AAA franchises.

Cool. If you cannot port it right, then don’t do it. I don’t want cloud gaming, I will fight it as long as I can.

I do not support cloud gaming. Port the games right, or don’t do it at all.

Pikmin 3 is a wonderful, charming, action puzzle game. If you haven’t played it before, now’s your chance.

Oh more cloud gaming? Hard pass. I know it’s probably a losing battle, but I will not support this. Port it right, or don’t do it at all.

So to summarize:

Nintendo should scrap being able to play on the tv, make it a handheld, but then offer a dongle to play on the tv??

So, I love that this is being localized and rereleased. I really hope that Nintendo keeps digging and giving us old classics that most people have never played.

That said, two obvious issues. One, the digital release is even limited, just like Mario 3D All Stars. It’s almost maddening. What happens if someone gets a Switch in April, oh well I guess you can’t play it for “reasons.” It’s limited a availability just for the sake of it, and that BS.

Second, and less important I suppose, but the limited edition does not have a game cart which I think is kinda weird. You spend all this time and resources, on an art book, a replica NES cart, map, etc, yet the only thing that’s completely digital, is the game itself. I dunno, it just seems like the easiest thing to make physical isn’t there. It couldn’t possibly cost that much to throw this on a 1 GB cart or something.

@MaseSco

The Witcher 3 is a great port. It’s not as nice on the tv (but it gets the job done), but looks great in handheld mode.

I did end up picking this up on Switch, I was just waiting for the patch, then I’ll play it. Looks much improved, I’m just curious how large the patch will be, probably pretty hefty.

I’m in the category of telling me too late. By the time I saw I had it, they were all gone. And we’re only talking a few hours I assume. I can’t sit at my computer all day refreshing Nintendo’s page. Hopefully they print more, cause this is ridiculous and very Nintendo.

I picked this up last night and it’s incredible. I like it even more than Dead Cells, and I really liked that too. The writing, story, and artwork is top notch all around.

I love that the bosses remember your fights and slightly mock you cause you’re back for another round. It makes finally beating them much more satisfying.

I saw some complaints about it being 720p docked. Honestly, I really don’t see much of a downgrade, cause the line work and art style do well at hiding it. The text is still very legible too.

Pick this up, seriously, it’s worth every penny.

I really liked Dead Cells, but this game has deep story and characters, so I really want to pick this up soon.

Some great stuff, I’m glad to see some Monster Hunter love.

@hotgamer77

“Is THAT why Nintendo posted their first loss in April, 2012 from the Wii U that didn't even exist on store shelves for another 7 months, because 3DS kept them afloat?”

Hm, lets go back at what I said:

“ The 3DS had and has an incredible library, and was so integral to keeping Nintendo afloat while the Wii U struggled.”

I’m aware of what happened early on... But once Mario Kart 7, Zelda OoT, and Mario 3D Land came out, along with the price cut, the 3DS started to take off, soon after, “the Wii U struggled.”

Soooo, cool story I guess. If it had anything to do with what I said, it woulda been quite the zinger.

@Giygas_95

It was, it looked really good on that little screen. Even being able to change the 3D depth in the game settings gave you even more 3D moodiness to play with. Story kinda lost me by the end, but it was a solid game for sure.

@Giygas_95

Definitely true for those games, but I also like Capcom’s use of 3D in Resident Evil Revelations too.

Good night sweet prince. The 3DS had and has an incredible library, and was so integral to keeping Nintendo afloat while the Wii U struggled. A wonderful little console, it stands with some of the best Nintendo’s ever made.

More Donkey Kong love!

Typical Nintendo response. Just hoping the problem goes away until their next hardware release, while they endlessly fix millions of joy cons.

I’m having flashbacks of when Wal-Mart canceled everyone’s SNES mini preorders cause they said they went up too early. Though this situation is a little different. So sorry if this happened to anyone here.

@doctorhino

The complete edition had a patch of 3.3 GB that resolved some crash bugs and other minor tweaks, but that’s the only download, it’s playable without it.

Sounds like the Ring Fit Trainee is the only Avenger Japan needs.

I don’t care for the idea. It’s what Disney did with the “vault” causing limited availability just for the heck of it. I find it especially worse because some people can’t afford to spend money on games cause of Covid.

The pros: Interesting concept and very surprising that Nintendo allowed someone to essentially make a prequel to one of Nintendo’s most revered games. Also, neat that you can play as the champions, and the graphic style is retained.

The cons: it’s a koei Tecmo game, and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition was a notably bad port. So bad, that it launched with portable mode being 1080p on a 720p screen. Glaring oversight, that tells me they rush things.

Hopefully they took better care here.

@Cool_Squirtle

Sure, I get that, but it’s Mario. It could clearly be an evergreen title for Nintendo. It’s basically what Disney did by bringing stuff out of the “vault” then putting it back in a month later. It’s just controlling it for the sake of it and it’s pretty anti-consumer. Especially considering that some just don’t have the cash right now cause of the pandemic

I just don’t understand why this is a limited release to begin with, and frankly they’re just asking for this to happen with scalpers.

Good to see it’s back. For gods sake just let Wii U owners have it.

@RodSD64

If you have Switch online you have access to it. They are available on the NES individually, but these were remastered or ported to the SNES in one game package.

“Super Mario Bros. 3 is by-and-large extremely enjoyable as a part of All-Stars, with the gameplay present and correct. The new graphics, however, are a bit of a mixed bag.“

How dare you.

Got mine preordered

FINALLY! I loved collecting Nintendo stuff in New Leaf.

Cool little project, but 10 seconds is about what it took for me to write this.

Just announce it already. All these rumors makes it feel like the NX days...

This is actually very helpful.

Bertil Hörberg does amazing work.

Given how well it’s selling, especially in Japan, it would be silly to ignore the Switch this gen.
