I am actively playing this game for the first time, and I want to say that I am having a ton of fun with it, BUT I am enjoying it more now than I probably would have at launch thanks to a greater sense of nostalgia for this kind of game and it’s mechanics. I needed a lot of tutorials when I was younger. The nuances of this combat system seems to require more observation and experimentation than I would have probably been able to tolerate when pokémon was my entire raison d’être.

How do we lobby to make this happen? I was crushed when I learned this wasn’t coming to switch. I desperately want to play this but there is no way I can log that many hours into a non-hand held console.

@Eagly_lmtd_xmasskin Game Freak should have collaborated with Monolith Soft lol

@UltimateOtaku91 Totally. I was just realizing how many games I have from this publisher, and honestly it’s quite a lot. I have to add the Science Adventure series to your list there, and also there’s a visual novel Re: Zero game that I enjoyed from them as well.

I put 55 hours into completing this game. I definitely recommend it. There are some frame rate drops in busy areas of Edo, but I didn’t experience any issues during combat. It really takes the building blocks of a musou game but does something decidedly different. The combat is fun, and if that ever starts to lose it’s luster, the story is great and will carry you to the end.

Congrats team Big Man! I’ll celebrate your win by chillin’ with my fam’.

Careful adventurers! Ghost Radishes ahead.

Um, no, sorry guys. This list should be called most accessible switch games if accessibility didn't already have another definition in gaming. The last boss in Kirby was nothing to sneeze at, and MarioKart lives online - where the competition is HARD. Just because a game has a set of options that make the game less daunting, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily “easy”…

I mean, it’s just an educated guess goes from an industry expert, but this all makes perfect sense. In fact, I’m hoping for an ongoing commitment to portability. The switch is my console of choice largely because of this aspect.

The play time seems about right. I’m happy to play a 40 hour RPG, but a metroidvania shouldn’t be longer than 25 hours in my opinion. I’m rather excited for this. I enjoyed the sands of time.

Is it a tournament arc!? They’re the best! Loved this game.

Wasn't the Tsukihime remake announced for switch for a 2024 release?

Thank you for this! I am very interested in this game, so Im glad they put out a demo.

Looks good, and Ubisoft could use a winner right about now.

@Ryu_Niiyama I was looking on their website yesterday, but maybe they are doing some in store preorders? I’ll definitely call. Thanks for the advice

As someone based in the US, I really wanted this one. I found out that preorders were available 3 days after they posted on major retailers websites and it was already sold out.

I am definitely curious about this. I really enjoyed Scarlet/Violet, and I am pretty familiar with other Dragon Quest games.

Cherish it. It was there for me through a lot in life.

I prefer the global model for splatfests, but this seems like it could be fun as long as it’s not the status quo going forward. Also, Big Man probably gives great hugs!

Fun quiz ! Got a 20/25. Congrats to those who aced it.

Surprise me! (Whatever it is, I’ll probably buy it)

I don’t have friends. As fun as this game may be, I will likely never play it lol.

I did my best for Frye. Im just glad it wasn’t Shiver for the millionth time.

I think the translators may have forgotten that in Japanese “Zel-Da” actually translates to “Pur-ah” in English 😉

This is literally one of the first video games I remember playing as a kid. Good ole’ MS-DOS!

I’ll wait for gameplay footage. Im not expecting anything extraordinary , but I don’t trust that this game will port well.

@Captain_Toad

I cannot agree more! I play this game every day and recommend it to friends often. It would be a shame if they didn’t keep it going!

@GooseLoose1

That’s fair. Sounds like the forced effort didn’t pan out the way they hoped. I won’t disagree with you on that, and it seems like you’ve played more recent sonic games than I have. I just think the balance is in how much weight one puts on features of a game. It deserved to be called out on an unsuccessful multiplayer mode. However, from my perspective, if someone were reviewing Splatoon 3 and putting too much weight on its single player campaign (which thankfully is good), I would raise an eyebrow at that as well because the game was multiplayer from its ideological inception.

Oh and sorry for deleting my previous comment, I was worried it had become a little too trolly and self-indulgent - not my intended online presence.

I haven’t played a sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast, but I’ll give this a go. Platformers are still one of my favorite genres. Glad this review judged it primarily on its single player mode. Some other reviews really harped on about the multiplayer — which matters not at all to me.

Probably, yeah. Casual online multiplayer with randos is definitely my thing.

I got this one day 1. It’s an impressive achievement and a must play for Fate fans, but the reviewer isn’t joking with the frame rate drops. It definitely takes away from the experience during the exploration segments in the city of Edo.

It’s fun! Nothing mind blowing here, but the mechanics are enjoyable, and the presentation is fun, and I love Disney characters!

I….am enjoying the early access of Disney Speedstorm 😳

Does anyone currently play this? It seems like something I would enjoy based on the reviews. I don’t mind some frame drops and monetizing. Just wondering if it has the ‘fun’ factor…

All at the wonderful price of no additional dollars!!! (I’m assuming you probably pay for the basic nintendo online service since you’re here lol)

This looks just fine on the switch!

Not sure if I’m impressed by the new graphics or more impressed by how well the GameCube version holds up visually… anyway, i missed this game back in my gamecube days. I’ve played a couple others since, but since this one is supposedly the best, I’m looking forward to playing it next year.

Um I purchased this DLC as soon as I saw the Poltchageist video haha.

Depends on my mood - Halloween time release means I’ll be playing as Luigi at first (because Halloween is for Luigi’s Mansion) but I generally go with Blue Toad whenever he’s an option!

@UltimateOtaku91 I know it’s not everyone’s thing but definitely more crossover with other Nintendo franchises. I’m actually just now wondering why I can’t wear a samus helmet in splatoon 3 lol

Ive been playing Splatoon since the first one on WiiU. I honestly dont feel like much needs to be changed in the fundamentals except for possibly smarter match making. The wonderful thing about these games is that I can put in 100 hours and then come back for splatfests (and now big runs) but still play OTHER GAMES (gasp) in between. It always stays fresh to me. Splatoon is one of my favorite franchises as is.

I didn’t really need the reminder, but seeing Deep Cut in the feed always makes me smile! Thanks NintendoLife!

I’m not really disappointed. Being able to see and interact with other players online is a nice reminder that I’m a part of a community. I don’t think that most platformer games are really designed around more than one player anyway. While it’s fun to play certain platformers with my son in couch co-op mode, if I’m playing with someone old enough to appreciate online play we should probably be playing Splatoon 3 or Mariokart 8 together anyway

Does anyone know if the wireless one will include gyro? I’ve become dependent and can no longer play certain games without it unfortunately 😅

Um, I’m sorry to disagree, but it’s amazing and it’s exactly what I needed this Friday.

Looks great! I’m in!

This promo video is amazing hahaha. Green tea and ghost stories are two of my favorite things. Looking forward to adding matcha flavor to my pokemon roster!

Some of these are great. I thought Persona 5 was an awesome port (seriously, look at the install size difference between the ps4 version and the switch version) but I thought that the switch version of the witcher wasn't worth the effort. Also, wasnt Bayonetta 2 a WiiU exclusive!? Not really achieving much in that port there….

I love the commitment Nintendo has made to the longevity of the Splatoon experience. May your seasons never end! (At least until the next iteration on the next console)

Took long enough! Please print enough of these Nintendo. Thanks.
