A fair warning to everyone buying this game. Bought it on sale and I gotta say, I expected better after reading this review. Performance is disappointing, especially in handheld, in terms of both visual fidelity and framerate. Overall blurry look, frequent pop-in during open-world sections and unstable fps. It's better in docked mode though.

RIP to all the players with left Joy-con drift (myself included)
I started reading Nintendolife a year ago or something like that, so can't say I am a longtime reader. But since that time, it has become one of the sites I most frequently visit to read about Switch and other Nintendo-related news. Thank you for everything you do, and keep up the good work!
@Yattaze he is talking specifically about Mystery Islands, which are not rated by anyone.
To be fair, it is kinda creepy when you think about it: you arrive on a random island, exploit its resources and probably leave its flora and fauna in ruins, and then just abandon the island and everybody forgets it existed.
And it's totally fair to ignore it and pretend it's just a meaningless game mechanic, but it's a mechanic basically centered around nature's exploitation for profit. And if the same game then proceeds to teach you a lesson about being eco-friendly - well, that's kinda dumb.

Looking forward to Burnhouse Lane. The Cat Lady and Downfall were one of the best horror games I played.

Alright, it is really not as bad as I thought initially, indoor areas look quite good in both docked and handheld.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo 3DS Features That Should Really Be On Switch
"as the Switch has no external facing light"
But it does! I'm talking about the quite underutilized led light under the home button.
