Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!

"Changed Fibonacci - costs $8 instead of $7, because Fibonacci"

More patches on more games should be done "because Fibonacci."

How about Lemmings? Used to be ported to EVERYTHING and then sort of vanished one day. I want to know the whole story.

Reading through the comments, I'm learning there's a whole generation about to be exposed to the greatest Mario RPG ever made, and I wish I were you!

You guys talked me into this one and I don't regret the purchase at all. As addicting as Vampire Survivor but not quite as life-consuming.

There's a game translation guide over at GameFAQs that one could use to follow the game in Japanese while they play. It's actually the only way I've experienced the game so far. (I have a legit Japanese copy for my GBA!) It translates all of the text you'll encounter and helps you navigate the battle menu (Which you'll know by heart eventually.) The translation is solid and with a little dedication, you can play the game and get the full impact.

Hoping this doesn't mean they're going to ease-up on the rereleases and remasters. Square's historical library is more accessible right now than ever, including a bunch of stuff the west never got to play legitimately, and I love it.

I just got my bonus, and this is exactly the sort of thing I need to not think about while it's still in my bank account.

Dear Nintendo:

ANYTHING but "New Switch." Searching for things with "New" in the title is a nightmare, especially 10 years down the line when it's not true.

I'm just glad the calendar is out. These Nintendo card calendars have become a staple in my home office.

Disco Elysium is a game that stays with you. It ended up being one of my most-played games last year, and I got it in November.

I mean- I'd BUY it. It's a Nintendo system. I have to. I'd be very grumpy about it, though.

Now to explain to my wife that I'd like "Unicorn Overlord" for my birthday next year.

The Tick deserves better than he got on the Super Nintendo.

I'm gonna swing big and say, "Yes, and they'll announce the Switch 2."

I'd be totally fine if this new Switch was in the vein of the Gameboy Color or New 3DS, where it will enhance existing games and gradually transition over to exclusive games as time goes on.

@Vyacheslav333 It's me. I'm the cult. I played the Wii verson. I imported Samba 2000 and burnt a special import CD AND hooked my Dreamcast up to the internet and navigated the Japanese site just so I could download the songs for it. Samba is my Jam and I make no apologies. I'm gonna get this, too. Hoping it feels better than a 6 to me.

Ooh! I didn't know Organ Trail was coming to Switch. It's a super-fun zombie-take on Oregon Trail. Worth checking out!

Happened to me ordering Pokemon Shield from Amazon. Actually had to exchange it TWICE before they finally sent one with the cart inside.

For those talking about choosing one, know that this isn't a Pokemon Red/Blue situation. The two games are completely different. If you want to play all the Zelda, you need to play both.

Gets awesome geek-cred for name-dropping Lemmy Koopa, then loses it immediately by saying you can conquer him "in Super Nintendo."

The DS Remake was treading on sacred ground. I'm in that small camp that considers FFIV to be the pinnacle of the series, and while I liked the new dungeons and cutscenes, and the soundtrack was nicely remade, it just goes down much better as a 2D Sprite-based game.

I am jazzed for Clash of Heroes. My favorite match-3 game ever.

Chibi Robo is such a wonderful series, but they haven't got it quite right since the Gamecube era. I'd love to see it as kind of an open world adventure where the open world is pretty much one house.

I think the brilliance of the undocked Switch has given birth to a lot of rereleases we wouldn't see on a screen-bound system. That, "But you can take it with you now" element gives gamers a reason to double-dip, and game companies a reason to let them.

"The ability to cook and feed your Pokémon?"

This is grammatically correct but has hilarious implications.

Are we not counting the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection? I know most people are picking them up piecemeal, but together they make a really nice collection series.

I wonder if Kate rejoined NIntendo Life JUST so she could review Ghost Trick and maybe Fantasy Life i. I know I would!

There SHOULD be some similarities between New and Wonder. If you make a 2D Mario Game, part of your goal is to get back to Mario's roots.

Little details and puzzles I spotted during the trailer though tells me that this is going to be to New Super Mario Bros what Odyssey was to Mario 64. That's probably overly-optimistic, but I have a good feeling about this new direction.

Mostly, I'm just glad there's a title that won't confuse eBay. STOP USING "NEW," NINTENDO! It won't always be true!

Where were you a month ago when I obsessively unlocked every character, Switch port? I needed you then!

Wonder how you'll unlock Toastie, Exdash and Smith in this version.

Sometimes a game is so hyped up over years of Nostalgia, that there's no way it can live up to that hype, and you end up underwhelmed when you finally get your hands on it.

This is not one of those games. Believe the hype.

I almost feel like there has to be an announcement in this presentation, because, "Hey look! We made a well-recieved game 5 years ago!" is a weird reason to host a livestream.

Looks like the opposite of Goose Game. Go around helping people instead of annoying them.

I adore the whole Harvest Moon series, but somehow none of them have ever clicked with me like the original did. Can't wait to dive in again.

I don't think that tracklist is complete. It would be a crime not to include Samba De Janeiro or Bamboleo.

Just got Power Wash simulator before a business trip, and I spent a lot more of that business trip playing it than I thought I would, given that Tears of the Kingdom was right there. It's so pleasant and addicting!

The G&W collections for Gameboy and GBA are legit some of my favorite games ever. Just add a few unlockable challenges and G&W goes from addictive to pure gaming-heroin.

Equal parts strategy and puzzle game. Probably my favorite puzzle game of all time. I'll buy this despite already having it for PC and DS, and I'll buy it again if they release it physically.

The description for Alicia Griffith is fun. "But murder took place and local sheriff needs her help." I wanna introduce that plot twist in every story. "It was a beautiful day- but MURDER took place!"

True Story: I saw a physical copy of Torna for sale for $15 at a Best Buy, and I bought it, thinking it was Xenoblade Chronicles 2. After realizing my mistake (I didn't have the base game yet), I immediately returned it.

Kinda wish I hadn't done that now.

I have a Mario mushroom on my Switch memory card and it warms my heart to know it's there, even if I paid an extra $5 for a little piece of art I'll never see. (I got it on sale or I would have paid WAY more than $5.)

I'm just gonna assume that El Ritmo Tropical made the list, per tradition. That's my Samba De Amigo jam.

I'm an old fogey who listens to '80s music, but even my crusty old heart has to admit that shaking my Maracas to Kesha's Tik-Tok sounds like fun.

If we look at the original, you had a game that tossed you in the middle of a sprawling kingdom with no real instruction on where to go and what to do. You'd find items along the way and stumble on dungeons, but it was totally possible to wander into a place where you weren't ready and get destroyed.

In that sense, Breath the Wild was more like the original than any other Zelda game since.

"Well they got me with the NES, and again with the Atari, but there's no way they could pull off a THIRD retro Lego set that will make me spend over $200," I thought!

@nhSnork Not just racing in car! "Racing in Car: Night Traffic Highway Driving Games Mechanic Simulator 2023 for Kids!"

I dunno how I feel having my condition considered a "Bad Word."

Yay! Scored me an extra set of Metroid Dread. Now we have one we can open!

I toppled Ganon, and if I never do anything else, I'll be OK with that, but I did pay for DLC I've barely touched, and there are a lot of shrines left unfound. I might just see if I can get all those shrines found and solved, and get myself a motorcycle in the next month or so. Or maybe I'll just end up playing some $5 indie title the whole time. You just never know.

I Kickstarted Curse of the Sea Rats, and am looking forward to digging in today! Looks like a fun Metroidvania with a mouse/pirate theme.
