@Hurblyburbly someone has me beat in the library size. But yeah i love my switch its my primary games device! Beats out my pc just cuz its so convenient.
Idk who would replay Luigis mansion 3. That game was horrid. Only saved by its visual presentation so I guess that would be nice to look at on an OLED but for how long? Such a tedious and glitchy game.
@moodycat well that’s the thing with letting others shape your opinion. It will get distorted and jaded. whenever I hear praise about a game I never go into saying “This better be good” I think to myself “we’ll see about that”
Such a small alteration but makes a big difference in mindset when going against or with the hype.
Not bad I suppose. Certainly anything is better than what It is currently. Having a library above 100 games is very unorganized now and im nearing the 400 mark :/
I'd love to have it on switch. Id buy it again, lots of people would. And im sure Konami knows that. They love free money so im willing to bet Sony is holding this release up.
This review reads like "My character isn't Doomslayer, bad game" The way you describe things to me sounds like you should take your time as though you would if this were real life. Stop walking into holes and expect to be ambushed in a monster lair. Seems to me the game is really trying to capture the feeling of self insertion. I typically never trust reviews from Nintendo Life that have "difficulty" as a pro or con in the summarized review. Reading the score and summary points is typically as far as I go with reviews for games I'm interested in to avoid spoilers or puzzle hints. But, wow! Such a low score for a game that looks like THIS? I had to check the comments. Seems like quite a lot of people don't like how this is written. (Yo, nintendolife I can write for ya, drop me a line :3 srsly) I'll definitely be giving this a try when it gets a sale and those bugs fixed.
I wouldn't mind a last hurrah update myself. Just finished my 2nd year and got all 4 candles lit on grandpa's shrine. I wouldn't mind more stuff to do as I start with the 1.5 stuff. Just need 200 hardwood if u know what I mean.
Did my time in Xenoblade 1. Loved it until the last 3 or so chapters. Got Xenoblade 2 a while back as a gift so I got its DLC on sale. I'll tackle that the instant the Xenoblade 3 rumor becomes true, if not it will keep its place in my queue.
@TaterSlap69 ill chime in as well and say I enjoy it a lot. I would say there's really not much advantage over the switch version on other consoles. PC is a different story but I have it on xbox series s and yes it loads faster and looks better but its still 30 fps there. I kinda want all 3 myself if im going to a more powerful system.
I think Nintendo is completely in the wrong about doing things like this. Fan games die yet fan art doesn't. No difference. It's nonsense. They treat their properties as sacred when they aren't.
I feel like 1 was really great. It was solid and knew what it was about. 2 had stupid cutscenes with Sylvia talking about some garbage the whole time. Like yada yada your being cryptic yet referential to the game as a whole but do u realize what exactly this game is? U swing lightsaber until someone's head comes off. Plus holy god some of the bosses and stages were the worst in 2. Don't fall off the roof or it will be a 10 minute walk back or lets fight 400 guys in a parking lot. And the Sniper boss just no. Awful all around. Ill pass on 3. I had zero fun with 2 and a lot with 1. Id rather just watch someone play it until I can't stand it anymore.
I think the theme of Majora beats most video game soundtracks and their entirety on its own. When Nintendo does true evil, it does it very well. I welcome breath of the wild 2 to be the most horrid and scarring thing since Majora by a long shot. I love evil Nintendo. Not Bad Bowser Nintendo.
Just saying you could write opinion pieces. Or just be open and admit there's a slow news day and just have a special article style for it. Make it fun. Gather the thoughts of the team on something nifty and write about it? You already do soapboxes what's the staff playing so why not something like staff recommends and have them make quick thoughts. Could be on anything. Shows books games. Maybe highlight the thing you gotta keep coming back to or lesser known entities.
Make it like "on slow days nintendolife can't help but think about.... blank."
On slow days Nintendo life can't help but think about what is even in those minecraft books in retail stores? Why do I keep trying Buster only in Megaman x?
I respect it. After seeing memes as a whole for quite a few years you'd wish that only funny people or folks with something to say would make them. He has the right position and if he chose to shut down worthless ones I respect that too. Seems to be the ones that bother him most.
I own the win 2 win 3 and win max AMA if need be. I really like their devices a lot and I know some of the staff personally. they do a good job creating hardware.
I have one of these things. They're pretty cool. They work with a ton of different games. All it is to the switch is a controller because that really is all it does is use button macros. I like that you can use it as a Bluetooth dongle to use any controller you want on the switch too. It's a useful device and if anyone is threatened by having more competition then are you really competitive? It's not cheated It's just the person spent 20 dollars to not have to sit in front of the TV for hundreds of hours doing boring grinding for competitive ready Pokémon. And if people are to say that is a part of it then how small of a role does the actual battles play in competitive pokemon?
@CheekyZelda Cammy has a game where she's shot guns before. I highly recommend checking out Cannon Spike. It's hard to find I'm sure but youtube would have it. It's also really tough.
Monster hunter rise is too good. I've never put 200 hours into a new release as fast as this game. I've tried every 3ds monster hunter and they're just terrible. But this one is just insane. It feels like I'm in control. I'm really glad that people enjoyed those games back where I couldn't so I can enjoy rise now. Already looking forward to Rise's equivalent to Iceborne. I need more monsters to fight new areas new gear I want it all. Give me two iceborne sized updates. Maybe 3. Thank you.
@mazzel true its quite amazing to see an online game work so well. My only complaint is still hitboxes. Sometimes I get hit by stuff that makes me throw my eyes wide open in raw disbelief. I don't care how big he is, he cannot shift enough air to knock me on my butt, looking at you Diablos and Rajang.
@SeaFishelle never played Town of Salem or heard of the others. To me party games are more like jackbox or some kind of board game. Or drinking. Whatever.
Well I cannot say this deserves a 9. Idk how you could give it something so high. This game deserves a 5 at best. It is so padded. And the final levels are just annoying. You become that guy who has to do the levels perfectly without getting caught because once caught the enemies know exactly where you are and where you are running from. Combined with awkward enemy placements like a dude walking around a spiked rooftop and a sniper in an untouchable spot to one hit kill you I'd say the last half of the game is really rushed. Plus taking your gear away because "plot" instead of a smart reason was just awful. Yeah you get ambushed but with everyone in the room no one grabbed anything? Aren't ninjas fast? Especially with what the story reason was that you were there. Gotta say I loved the pace before the second half, I was a blazing shadow in this arcadey stealth game then I think an intern or two took over for the last half.
I am slightly concerned by it but not enough to avoid purchasing one. No matter how careful you are there is an unavoidable amount of static visuals on the screen in games like breath of the wild or anything that has UI elements constantly on screen.
@blindsquarel na but giving someone a shot at an upgrade through an email or something isn't asking to be friends its just that there will be people who want it but cannot hover over Best Buy or gamestop like the unemployed scalper can. People like me. I work and have a busy personal life but would love to be able to get the new switch because I move around a lot and use handheld mode, this new model feels like it targets me and I will be glad to take it. Having a zero effort required shot at making a purchase on it would be very appreciated.
@DaniPooo thats the feature I like most. I want those new speakers to drown out my floor fan during hot season. I rarely have my switch on anything but cranked max volume.
@blindsquarel I don't see how what I said alludes to this conclusion you've drawn. But, if you are stemming from this and you think it is a problem then you are preaching in the wrong place. I don't think anyone sees Nintendo as a friend (unless you do because you are being specific on this) we just want hardware.
Idk why nintendo doesn't figure some way to contact people who they know own switches and ask of they want to secure an order in some way. Acknowledging a problem is a good start to fixing one.
@Crono1973 well there was talk about 4k and such so I'm still optimistic for it. But hopefully this means that these stories will stop coming out every day. Id like to hear about an upgraded switch when its actually real.
the leaks about the 4k stuff and the 8gb ram thing make me think this new OLED one is testing the waters on "are people willing to buy an incremental upgrade."
Since the answer will be pretty much mixed on it I hope they get the results they're looking for to really amp up the next stage of switch upgrades. I must agree with Nintendo's approach on this. Not throwing everything into the one basket might be a good idea because it is definitely more expensive to make a new cpu/gpu SOC and ram modules than a few quality of life features plus an OLED screen. Im sure making a 720p OLED screen is pretty expensive though but apparently not as much as a new SOC and having to adjust the games that exist to work there or take advantage of more ram.
Oh nintendolife. Posting more controversial crap that is the thoughts of Twitter users instead of your own. U got the clicks. Can we lock comments and move on? Thanks darling. Games are worth what people will pay. End of story.
