I like the drawing it looks much better. Also, can you already tell from the trailer what the movie is like? I can't, and I'm still optimistic that this will be a fun movie.
I had an Ouya, and have had good times with its various Couch Multiplayer titles. The size of the Ouya made it perfect to take it with you (the controllers were bigger than the system itself), and its power was sufficient for simple but fun Multiplayer titles. My favourites were Towerfall, no brake valet, hidden in plain sight, Toto Temple deluxe, Duck Game and Neon Shadow.
However, the controllers were not great, and the gamestore was filled with low quality titles. Quite a few games suffered from low framerates or input lag, for example Giana Sisters - near unplayable on Ouya.
It's not my greatest purchase, but it still was a usable game system. RIP!
@Orpheus79V absolutely, that would be perfect! As much as I liked playing through it a 2nd time on the Gamecube, the lower music quality (and it being out of sync with the editing) really hurt.
Anyone else getting confused about the "specify reasons why not to buy games in this franchise" table?
I love Crazy Taxi, played all past installments, what do you want me to select here???
These are the BEST racing games??? Many of them are very mediocre. :/ How about we redo this list when there's more variety and we can pick 10 candidates with 8+ points, currently this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. :/
the Shakedown Hawaii Facebook updates never tell me anything, and all I wanted for all these years was a release date! So, "some point this spring" it is then??
I'd like to know more about the multiplayer options. Is it just two players like in Tanks? Is it up to four? Are there games that previously didn't have Multiplayer now including some?
@Mortenb buy the discounted game, give/throw the toys away and keep the cartridge and regular game case.
I bought the full price starter kit, never used the toys (although the Arwing is now sitting on my desk, looking pretty), and also never bought any ingame stuff. I beat the game last week using only Starfox, and while I couldn't get 100%, I had fun. Some treasure chests need specific elemental weapons to open, but you never find anything live changing in there anyway.
So yeah, that's what you should do if you're still interested in Starlink.

Re: Bullet Battle: Evolution Brings 8-Player Team-Based Shooting To Switch Today
I'm not a native speaker, but doesn't "Bullet Battle" sound kinda lame? Otherwise why not!
Re: The Grandia HD Collection Is "Coming Soon" To Nintendo Switch
why only the first two? What about Grandia 3 and Grandia Xtreme???

Re: So Long Ouya, We Hardly Knew Ye
...totally forgot: I actually brought my Ouya (along with other game systems) to a London game store to exchange it for my Switch!

Re: Review: Akane - Stylish Sci-Fi Swordplay On Your Switch
the gameplay takes some inspiration from Doom, doesn't it? Like the "reload by killing" cycle.
Re: Review: Super Robot Wars T - Enjoyable Tactical Mecha Goodness For Returning Fans And Newcomers Alike
@Damo okay, thank you!
Re: Review: Super Robot Wars T - Enjoyable Tactical Mecha Goodness For Returning Fans And Newcomers Alike
@Damo really?? I had no idea, do other games do this as well?
Re: Review: Super Robot Wars T - Enjoyable Tactical Mecha Goodness For Returning Fans And Newcomers Alike
@NintendoLife, did you not get to play the game yourself? It looks like you only used promo screenshots.

@Orpheus79V absolutely, that would be perfect! As much as I liked playing through it a 2nd time on the Gamecube, the lower music quality (and it being out of sync with the editing) really hurt.
Re: Fan Creates Homemade Switch Mini Console, Beating Nintendo To The Punch
congrats on the nice engineering, but did it have to be such an ugly pattern/color choice?
Re: Nintendo's Digital Sales Are Nearly Double The Amount Of The Previous Fiscal Year
@Count_Duckula I agree that retail is better, but many smaller games simply don't appear as physical editions.

@Lionyone Hey, Horizon Chase is on the list now... and one position above Mario Kart!!
Re: Review: Mechstermination Force - A Small But Perfectly Formed Boss-Battler
I like colourful short action games at medium difficulty, I bought this straight away.
Re: Duck Game Will Make An Action-Packed Splash On Switch This May
reminds me of the OUYA. Fun (and only sometimes slightly worse) times were had.

Okay, that means I will now try again.

can we get some info on resolution and framerate?
Re: Fortnite's New Single-Player Vehicle Is The Baller, Essentially A Human Hamster Ball
@senorwoohoo come on, vehicles are standard for other Battle Royale games (e.g. PUBG). What's so bad about this?
Re: Fortnite's New Single-Player Vehicle Is The Baller, Essentially A Human Hamster Ball
@AxeltheBuizel I love vehicles in 3rd person perspective... it's why I'd prefer PUBG over Fortnite, but with stuff like this they are winning me over.
Re: New Nintendo Labo Kit Introduces VR Gaming On Switch This April
@ReaderRagfihs well it won't "fall off", as there is no head strap or anything - you have to hold it up with your hands the entire time.
Re: Horizon Chase Turbo ESRB Classification Suggests A Physical Release Is On The Way
This is actually my game of the year 2018. Maybe tied with Celeste.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Could Make Its First VR Announcement For Switch This Year
@impurekind but isn't the switch resolution still awfully low for VR, especially given the screen size?
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Could Make Its First VR Announcement For Switch This Year
@SimplyCinnamon53 why do you think it wasn't worth it?
Re: Exclusive: The Making Of Observer, A Cyberpunk Horror Set To Terrify The Nintendo Switch

Re: UK Charts: Smash Bros. Ultimate And Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Keep A Firm Grip On The Top Ten
How does it work with the tracking of physical and digital charts?
Are the latter only collectively released by Nintendo itself?
Re: Video: 11 Things Nintendo Needs To Do in 2019
@Painay so you want ports, but not too many. That's very vague!
Re: Review: V-Rally 4 - A Bumpy Ride That Will Only Reward Dedicated Motorsport Fans
so it is ugly (even on the screenshots!) , and still frequently runs at under 30 fps? And frustrating as well?
Ouch.
Re: Feature: Every Nintendo Console Ranked From Worst To Best
weird order. Why is the Wii U so high up the list? Should have been straight after the Virtua Boy!

By the way did you like the CGI smurfs?

Re: Review: Everspace - Stellar Edition - An Entertaining Roguelike Which Fuses FTL With Rogue Squadron
@Jonasty198460 well they compare it to FTL, so I'll say yes.

Re: Review: Horizon Chase Turbo - A Worthy Successor To Sega's Out Run
@holygeez03 it copies the style of a certain kind of early 90s 16bit racer.
For me it reminds me of the Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge games.
