@michellelynn0976 yeah exactly this. I was going to make a comparison to the FIFA Legacy Editions that have been coming out, which is essentially less than DLC.
@PinderSchloss welcome to gaming in 2023. I don’t know what else to tell you.
But seriously, fake limited editions? What are you on about? There’s also barely been any Amiibo output. And the DLC isn’t “endless”. Certainly not as bad as other companies when it comes to timed cosmetic nonsense.
These remarks seem quite baseless to me.
Listen, I just enjoy the games and apply a little bit of videogame logic to the proceedings without really thinking about it. Red barrels explode, enemies heads are their weak points, RPG’s are turn-based and have damage indicated by a number and Kirby ‘eats’ things.
Not feeling this, struggling to see either inspiration tbh. The soundtrack is probably the most Satoshi Kon thing about this game. @yannis looks more like Junjo Ito to me too, but this is coming from someone who hasn’t read any of his work.
@MatoFilipovic you’re not wrong, but no one wants to hear about their interest in NFT’s. Because if there’s one company who would be dumb and/or stubborn enough to actually incorporate into their games, it’s Square Enix… But also the Pokemon Company 100% too.
The Pokemon Company are behind on their business decisions (NFT’s are a dead concept) and their game development (Scarlet/Violet were technologically 2 gaming generations too late).
If they didn’t have such a strong IP they would honestly be bust.
OMG a luggage tag!!! I was on the fence about the game but that tag has swayed my decision, easily. Day one for me now. Thank you Nintendo. Thank you NintendoLife!!
I enjoyed this game a lot (apart from the story, which was total crap), but the lack of any meaningful post-game or New Game+ really hurts it in my opinion.
I’ll be jumping back in to do these Paralogues and that’s about it. Three Houses was much better in this regard, with the multiple storylines and ability to carry progress forward.
@Zisssou I’d have more respect for you if you just came out and said it was pointless 😂 I’m kidding, although I do agree with gimmick aspect for sure. Nothing other than bragging rights to say they released the last 3DS game ever!!!!*
@Scarko aw my bad, couldn’t tell it was sarcasm because arguably it hasn’t actually turned out bad for Newcastle. Current highest league position for as long as I can remember.
But again, I am not condoning or endorsing Saudi funding whatsoever.
@Scarko well it’s not like Newcastle haven’t come under significant scrutiny and criticism since that deal, is it? 🤔 They should stay well away from Nintendo.
We’re never going to hear the end of these rumours until it’s actually announced eh. It’s the same with the ‘Switch Pro’, but at least we can now tick Metroid Prime Trilogy off the list.
Criticisms of the graphics is pretty stupid when all you can say is that they don’t feel right. It’s a remaster sure, but the game should be evaluated in what it is now and now what it was back in 2002.
Nintendo getting sued by children for their inferior product and then winning their legal battle with them just seems like typical Nintendo behaviour tbh.
18% have games in development for Switch, but 12% have games in development for VR headsets which, in my opinion, I’m not interested in playing in any capacity and still consider it to be quite a niche hobby. Definitely thought Switch would be higher given its large user base.
Here, Kirby as the 14th best selling game of the year is an insane achievement. Most enjoyable game in the series in my opinion, so it’s good to seeing it selling well too.
So whit? Is this really a reason to boycott 2 of the most highly anticipated games for Switch this year? Grow up, folks. Don’t be such entitled little babies.
@Sequel this isn’t Nintendo’s fault here, it’s the publisher for releasing what the lead developer considered to be an unfinished product. Publishers can slap whatever they want on the eShop, there’s soooo much garbage on there.

I can’t wait for this to be nothing like Akira. It’s referenced too often on this site without a viable comparison being drawn.

Re: Decarnation Brings Disturbing, Disgusting Pixel Art Horror To Switch In May
@DrGonzo I’ve mentioned it before, but I can’t stand it when people use the term ‘Lynchian’. Annoys me to my very core.

Re: The First Review For Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Is Now In
