@Ogbert Fair enough. I can see your point now and even though I don't entirely agree I completely understand.
I think your first reply had a lot of passionate rhetoric, which I can understand why, but it's very off putting to someone who doesn't share your views.
It read a bit exaggerated and oppressive.
But overall, I totally understand where you're coming from even though I see it differently.
@Ogbert He didn't do the salute. You can lie to yourself as much as you want.
There are hundreds of reasons to not support this man, but by this logic, you should be off Facebook, blue sky, and any social media since they're owned by horrible greedy people.
All of this still doesn't justify Nintendo Life caving to what you think it's correct.
Their website, their rules. If you're not a big fan, you have the option to not be here.
I've frequently disagreed with them and even have my posts deleted from time to time, but I'm not going to try to make them follow my rules.
I'm all for freedom of speech, different from Elon Musk. You trying to suppress information from an app because your views don't align with the owner of the company are ironically very similar to the way he acts.
It really feels like Nintendo wants Donkey Kong to fail.
None of the ports/remasters get the treatment they deserve, they end up having poor sales, and it takes 5 or more years for Nintendo to do something with the franchise.
I love Nintendo consoles, but let's not forget that this is the same company that launched the Wii U to absolute failure after the massive success of the Wii.
I don't think history will repeat itself, but projecting them to be the winner is just speculation.
@Lofoten As someone who was born in a very poor country and now live in a better one, I can tell you that one reason can be that it's almost impossible to play more than a few games if you don't emulate. The costs are absurdly high and almost no one has the money to buy a console and the games are also prohibitively expensive due to taxes and currency value.
These countries also do not enforce piracy protection rules which makes it easier to access them that way.
I personally used to play games in a alternate way until I moved countries and now I only buy original ones, because even £70 is not nearly as much as how expensive they were for me before.
Mind you, I'm not justifying piracy through emulation, just explaining why some people do it.
Even though Nintendo had it's ups and downs I'm ok with them doing whatever they want. They're so unique and have their own way of surviving in the market.
@VoidofLight Yeah fair. This part "and then move on to the second and third title in 2025 when they launch" confused me. I could've been better worded, calling the DQ II the third title didn't make much sense to me.
The Switch is an amazing console. But to use the reviews of dozens of "professionals" as a parameter is a terrible idea. Opinions are just opinions and taste factors a lot into it.
The fact is that most people are too lazy to form their own opinions and prefer a number telling them what's good and what's not.
The developers of Sea of Stars clearly stated they were inspired by CT, I don't understand why you're not referencing the real source of their inspiration.
Otherwise, looks great, I hope the gameplay is as good as the art style.
Zelda has developed a lot as a character and I think everyone would be happy if she got her own game. It's also a nice way to expand the universe and insert different types of gameplay in Hyrule.
@Trikeboy Yes, because it really is just one case happening in isolation. It's not like western gaming is receding to censorship points we witnessed in the past. The Tomb Raider people already said that they're making Lara less of a sexual symbol and trying to detach her from any colonial practices like Tomb Raiding. These two pictures being removed represent more than just the act of removing them.
Great, I love censorship. Can't wait to get to the point where we can't express ourselves anywhere anymore without being judged by an all seeing eye. 1984 was supposed to be a fiction book.
Good riddance. The writers were arrogant and openly mocked and disrespected Sapkowski writing whilst writing something much worse than what he originally created. Henry Cavill got fed up with it and so did the audience.
Let me be constructive about my opinion. Fire Emblem Engage had an extremely unfocused plot, characters with very little depth and an extreme downgrade when compared to its predecessor. It had less content and even graphically it wasn't much of an upgrade when compared to a game that came years before it.
The soundtrack was also very forgettable.

Re: Level-5's Long-Awaited Fantasy Life Sequel Seems To No Longer Be A Switch Exclusive
@8bit-Man Are you Nintendo Life's moderation?
It's up to them what can a can't be discussed here, and if they feel it's off topic they'll delete it.
Also we had cordially sorted the discussion and you called both of us out just digging that out again.
You're going off topic by telling other people to not go off topic.
Leave moderation to the moderators.
Going back to the topic, do you like Fantasy Life?
I played over 300 hours on my 3DS and couldn't be more excited about this one releasing.

Re: Level-5's Long-Awaited Fantasy Life Sequel Seems To No Longer Be A Switch Exclusive
@Ogbert You mean the one he clearly didn't do if you watched the video?
I have no respect for him, but I'm not a fool who's manipulated into outrage by the media.
Leftist and Right wing media are turning everyone into extremists and rotting their brains.
Dialogue is good to have before jumping to conclusions.
Re: Level-5's Long-Awaited Fantasy Life Sequel Seems To No Longer Be A Switch Exclusive
@Synecdoche
It's related to gaming news.
Nintendo Life shouldn't censor itself just because it offends someone's sensitivities.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Speeds Past Two Million Sales Worldwide
It's a solid game! Shadow's levels are even better than Sonic's, showing that SEGA knows how to improve the formula.
Now please release the next game with the same gameplay style instead of trying to chase trends.
It seems like SEGA is on the cusp of re-establishing Sonic in the mainstream, but you can never underestimate their ability to screw things up.

Re: Stardew Valley Has Now Sold More Copies Than Mario Kart Wii

In my opinion the best farming sim of all time and I can't wait for Haunted Chocolatier.
Eric Barone's dedication to updating and improving this game is exemplary.
Re: Random: Streamer Beats Pokémon's Most Difficult Challenge After 3,978 Attempts
Kaizo Ironmon not "Ironman" is not the hardest challenge in Pokémon and it has been beaten several times by several different streamers.
The hardest challenges are Super and Subpar Kaizo Ironmon.
None of them have ever been beaten even though both had people reaching the Elite Four.
Please do your research before posting an article.

Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Sets Its Sights On "Inappropriate Player Names"

Re: Monster Hunter-Style RPG 'Dauntless' Is Getting Overhauled In Next Week's 'Awakening' Update
I played a bit but couldn't get into it, the UI was very clunky.
It seems like a solid game though, and with this update it might be time to give it another chance.

Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Adds Anticipated Feature Early 2025, But There's A Catch...
I don't understand how some people spend a ton of money on this game.
I've been playing the game for 5 days and already have 114 out of the 226 available cards.
The game is quite generous with ways of getting packs and cards without having to pay for them.
Re: The Results Of Our 2024 Switch Summer Survey Are In
Most of my answers align with what other people answered here. Nice to know we all expect better performance from the Switch 2.

Re: Nintendo Would Rather "Organically Expand The Organisation" Than Rely Solely On Acquisitions

Re: Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes Include A "Surprise" If You Play In Chronological Order

Re: Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes Include A "Surprise" If You Play In Chronological Order
So they're releasing them out of order and rewarding you only if you play them in order?
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Re: Pour One Out For The Modchip Seller Facing Nintendo In Court Alone
So, he's committing a crime, profiting out of it. He's luckily able to reach a settlement and then he breaks said agreement?
He got a second chance and wasted it, he deserves what's coming.
To anyone defending him, he could have a real job. But at least in the near future he won't have to pay for rent and food.

Re: Poll: Resident Evil 6 Turns 12 - Does It Really Deserve Its Dire Reputation?
It's very repetitive and not scary at all.
But it has some entertaining dialogue and it's fun to play in short bursts.
Re: Sea Of Stars-Inspired RPG 'Forge Of The Fae' Looks And Sounds Stunning
You mean Chrono Trigger inspired, right?
The developers of Sea of Stars clearly stated they were inspired by CT, I don't understand why you're not referencing the real source of their inspiration.
Otherwise, looks great, I hope the gameplay is as good as the art style.

Yeah, they're not going to retain a lot of their viewers.

Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?
39% vs 34%. Nice to see that both games are so amazing that they can stand toe to toe against each other.

Re: Talking Point: Should 'Third' Pokémon Games Make A Comeback?
They can barely make one game as it is. Adding one more to the short development cycle would guarantee a buggy unfinished mess.
