Haven't received the invitation e-mail yet, even though my friend did the invitation thing yesterday. I wonder what's going on?

Anyone else having issues with setting up the Family Group?

I just wish they'd do these re-releases on 3DS AND Switch! Especially with Wii games and Nintendo's art styles in general being very suitable for quick 1080p releases.

The 3DS doesn't need exclusives at this point anyway, it can compete with the Switch just fine thanks to its absolutely enormous library and far, far lower overall costs.
The cheapest 3DS variant being 80 bucks, game included, with games of 45 bucks or less vs Switch with a 300 price tag, no game included, and games costing 60... yeah! It can compete just fine).

Have to admit that I'm a bit biased against the 3DS family though. Never liked it's uncomfortable design, crappy resolution on a tiny screen and low battery life, always making me wish I could just play its games on something better...

This news is almost as lame as the FFXV Pocket Edition reveal, good job Square-Enix, good job! >.<

"This video follows a recent chat with Switch Player, revealing the development of the Switch iteration began as soon as Nintendo announced its new hybrid system."

Funny how this version was already in development before they had the gall to ask us to port-beg and blackmail us with the whole "if Xenoverse 2 does well, we'll look into this game afterwards" message. Yeah, real funny...

Still gonna have a lot fun with this game as the demo was really badass, but I'll be buying their games used until they decide to treat us better. Bethesda and Ubisoft deserve my hard-earned money far more.

Sorry Nintendo, but even you can't make me care about mobile games...

@wyzworld76

Yeah, I figured as much from what I've read and seen. But Yooka-Laylee is a collect-a-thon platformer, my favorite kind of platformer, and has far more meat on its bones.
So I reckon I'll get a lot more fun out of it than the 2-3 hours it took me to beat Shantae (I did enjoy Half-Genie Hero in a "good enough" kinda way) and the 6 more hours spend replaying the game until I got bored with it.

Seriously though, I just want a platformer that has actual good collecting to do after Mario Odyssey being such a massive let-down in that regard v.v

@paihia

Yeah, this game, no matter what website or forum, will always attract a lot of people screaming at you that the game sucks!
I wonder if it's just a really vocal minority that hates the game for some reason or whatever, because if you look at the general review ratings... most people seem to quite like the game, not love it or anything just like it.

I reckon I'll get more fun out of this game for 50 bucks then I did with Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, that one set me back 40 bucks for the physical edition and wasn't worth it imo.
It was a fun platformer with a charming cast and good humor, but really darn short and all the extra content was just re-hashing the few levels the game has with slightly different abilities.

I hope the CE is good, if not I'll get the regular edition. Been waiting for this game for almost 2 years now, a few days delay doesn't matter at this point xd

But... raising my middle finger won't make any noise! xd

Seriously though, screw Namco and their attitude that we have to beg for every game they make!

One of my favorite games on the Wii U. Those boss battles especially were neat! Double-dipping day one for that sweet portability and bring on that sequel! ^_^

"Focused on initial launch right now, will do the Switch 'Double-dip' edition later on" is what I hear >.>

Got Valkyria Chronicles 4 and the Xenoblade 2 story DLC to play through at that point. I'll get it later on though as the beta was tons of fun.

So much to play on the Switch, so little time, jeez! ^_^

@diablo2

One of my favorite games of the era, played it to death on the PC and I too was instantly reminded of it when seeing those shadowy things move around! ^_^

@OorWullie

Just finished Battle Chasers: Nightwar and it's the same case of it being a very rough port. Very fun game, but all the stuttering, framerate issues and all the crashing AND the very long loading times kinda soured the experience for me at times.

Shame really. I like their games and commitment to releasing on as many systems as possible, but the quality of their ports is bad and hasn't improved at all v.v

If these NES games had widescreen modes I'd be interested, but since they don't I"ll just stick with the version on my Wii U, that I can play without black borders on my old crt tv...

Only getting this service because I need it for Splatoon sighes

Awesome news and well deserved!

I'll get the game next year. Both the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC and Valkyria Chronicles 4 are coming out next month. That combined with me still needing to 100% Zelda is plenty to keep me busy this year ^^

Next year is looking very light on the RPG front outside of Fire Emblem, no I do not think DQXI will make it next year, so this and Indivisible will do nicely to fill that year for me ^_^

@Antraxx777

If Nintendo is gonna add an Indie representative, it's probably going to be only one so yeah... I'm in the Shantae camp! Having both would ofcourse be the best, but I don't see it happening.

I was hoping we'd get real new stages to jump through instead of more "re-play the old stages with slightly different abilities for the 10th time"...

Oh well, it's free and the Jammies Mode looks fun so can't complain too much fires up the game ^_^

PS

I really hope that if we get an Indie representative in Smash Bros. it's not Shovel Knight but Shantae. Shantae has been with us since the early days and deserves it more imo. Plus, you can do a lot of fun stuff for her moveset.

I'm with Joeynator3000 on this one. Meh...

@CapricornDavid

Not every 4 months, but atleast 1 new one each year and some re-releases every now and then xd

Great news and will get it eventually as these games are awesome to just sit back and relax, but I recommend people to wait for the inevitable re-release with all the DLC and new content/trilogy pack to save money.
Koei Tecmo just loves doing that with this franchise and their DLC prices for the first releases of a game are ridiculous. 80 bucks season pass anyone? O.O

They just announced an Arland trilogy re-release with all the DLC and new stuff from the Vita versions on it.
Reckon the Dusk games are next (finally an Ayesha release on consoles with Japanese audio, whoo! ^^) and then we'll get a Mysterious trilogy pack most likely, or seperate "Plus" re-releases of the Mysterous games. I don't think the Mysterious games have Plus versions yet so...

But man! I love how we're getting all the niche Vita stuff now ^^

ability to message people/streaming services/themes/Eshop background music/voice chat on a system level WITH the ability to mute games/the special discounts actually being good, but I don't expect them to be...

Don't leave the mute option up to developers as they won't bother to add it and it was so darn annoying having to listen to people throw insults at me in Fall of Cybertron back on the PS3 >.<

Seriously, it needs to add all of this for me to be even remotely hype about the Online Service.

@Tsurii

Yeah, that's surprising indeed. I do admit having stopped reading after the arc that the anime is on right now (figured there was no need to keep reading with the anime not taking years between seasons cough Attack on Titan cough) so don't know if he got some character development.

And how could I forget Bondrewd?! Such a shining example of parenthood that he truly has no equal xd

patiently waits for Liar Princess and the Blind Prince

I love the anime, but I just can't get hype for a game that looks like Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 0.5.... and I really want to be hype, but a 3D arena fighter? Nah... v.v

Also, pre-order now to get Endeavor as a playable character, best dad in anime and a fan-favorite (sarcasm).

There's nothing left for me to unlock with the thousands of coins I've gathered (DLC when Nintendo?!)....but I'm still gonna enter this Party Crash! Gotta defend my girl Min Min ^_^

I'll go Octoling, gotta support my girl Marina! ^_^

I'm still hoping for Muramasa Rebirth to come to the Switch, but it won't be announced at this event as it's apparently, could've sworn it was published by them, not one of their games v.v

@LilVoidBoy

Oh yeah, the comment section is gonna be a total cat-astrophe!

Will get this game once the final DLC comes out so I can marathon the entire game, will decide then on whether I"ll go digital or physical.

No thanks Capcom, real game releases or nothing for me! I hope your cloud crap bombs.

You can still use the original game card, Nintendo is just capable of detecting whether you're using the real thing or a back-up and can block those back-up games.

Next time NintendoLife, wait a bit and do more research before posting okay?...

Not interested in what the collector's edition has, got the regular game for 45 bucks on pre-order. Will just use the 15 bucks I saved for the DLC and the Valkyria Chronicles 1 release.

Valkyria Chronicles 1 is in my top 10 games of all time and I've heard VC 4 is more of the same in terms of quality, so this game is gonna rock! ^_^

@Snaplocket

Fates didn't have it and Treehouse was the localisation crew, if they do this game I'm gonna assume the worst to avoid being disappointed.

Looking forward to this one! Frieza/Lazuli/SSGSS Vegeta for me all the way! No need to get the DLC, none of the characters on the leaked list interest me ^^

Reminds me that I gotta install a d-pad mod on my Joy-con first though runs off.

Oh god please, anyone but them! Fates had a lot of issues and they made it even worse with their stupid changes and screw-ups. Anyone remember the Saizo + Beruka support? >.<

No dual audio support for Fates, after Awakening had it, despite it being the first FE to have a kingdom based on Japan is another highlight in their long list of failures.

As soon as the previous one comes as well I"ll be all aboard. Want to play through them both on Switch and have the full story, but if that doesn't happen I guess I'll settle for a sale on the PC at some point.
Would rather have it portable though.

I'm kinda worried about Doom Eternal though, the fact that there was no platforms confirmed at the end of the E3 trailer has me thinking they wanted to avoid any negativity surrounding the reveal because a lack of a Switch version.
Not feeling optimistic about the Switch version's chances v.v

That painting though! That one's going on my wall!

@RetroGamerAndrew

There are mods you can buy online to give the left Joy-con a D-pad and I've heard they work surprisingly well. I'm thinking about getting one just for this issue. The buttons are okay for some games, but man do they suck for diagonal inputs in fighting games!

@gortsi

Yeah, it sucks for the other developers. The indies and smaller 3rd parties have been putting in a lot of effort to support the Switch so they deserved a bigger spotlight.
I also feel kinda bad for that Crazy Justice game. Releasing on the same day as Paladins and Fortnite must suck on so many freakin' levels >.<

@GrailUK

Using the previous Nintendo Direct to announce the game, riding the hype waves a direct brings by doing so and then shortly after delaying the Switch version (which ran great in demo booths, even Blighttown, so it doesn't look like technical issues) without giving a proper reason. Just said it was because of "causality", whatever the heck that means...

Just like with Dragonball FighterZ and their whole "make noise on Twitter and buy Xenoverse 2 and we MAY give you the game you want" stunt, Nintendo and its gamers had to work as their hype machine while being treated as 2nd class citizens when it comes to the actual releases.
I can see why Nintendo didn't want to spend too much time promoting Namco's game this time, especially with their own fighter being the big star of the show.

And this has been a pattern with Namco when it comes to Nintendo platforms ever since the Gamecube, but writing all those "f*** you" moments down will turn this into an essay so I'll leave it at this.

@gortsi

To be fair Namco Bandai atleast had it coming to get so little screentime after the stunt they pulled with Dark Souls: Remastered. Sucks for the other games though to get so little screentime.

Looks awesome! Day 1 for me too!

@Seacliff

This pretty much. Gonna wait for the last game in this series before I bite.

Meh. More interested in them bringing over the older 2 games of the "Mysterious" trilogy to have that one complete instead of some spin-off...

Great games to just sit back and relax btw ^_^

Not entirely convinced, but I'm intrigued/tempted. Will put this on the wishlist for a possible purchase in the future, depending on how it reviews.

@FarkyValentine

Tries to act like it's F-Zero, but the overall feel of the racing is far closer to Wipeout. If you like Wipeout it's a good, but not great due to some game design issues, game.

After participating in 6 of the Party Crashes, I have unlocked everything you can buy with the coins. I hope they add some new artwork or something in the future to buy with the coins v.v

Such a shame they didn't add more stuff to unlock, would've easily paid for it too like the Octopath Expansion. Will keep playing though, the game is awesome! ^_^

@RupeeClock

This actually depends on whether the SKU in the West is universal or not:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/resetera-i-was-sent-a-copy-of-mario-rabbids-pal-ver-by-mistake-would.15785/

^ 2nd post explains it. It's on a game-by-game basis when it comes to DLC compatibility. I have the US version of the Mario + Rabbids DLC and it works just fine with my European cart.
Splatoon does not work btw, Octopath Expansion is region locked due to different SKU's for all regions.

I hope Mario Tennis will get the pre-order double gold coins bonus on the American eShop as well, still got a bunch of money left on my US account ^_^

@ryancraddock

I'm usually more of a "dark green" person, but I dig this look ^_^
