@mariomaster96 If we don’t criticize games and keep buying them, then they’ll get even lower quality because they know they can get away with it. I’m fine if people get this game, just isn’t the best if you want to see the series improve quality.
@Haruki_NLI Are we pretending TPC isn’t primarily developing Gen 10 and this is a side project while they were working on SV/Gen 10? 2 mainline games in 2022, one in 2025, and another in 2026 isn’t healthy for a team and seems very EA-like
I mean there’s this weird cave with a door in the main area that you can barely not reach so wouldn’t be surprised if bonus content was related to that
Well deserved! This TOTALLY deserves high praise, what a game!
Forget Kirby, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Pikmin, 2D Mario, this is where true quality is at! Keep buying these games and TPC will play limbo, so we can see how low they can go
Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land were some of the few 3D adventure games with actual good co-op. I really hope that Diddy Kong would be the 2nd player!
@FishyS That's tomorrow? I almost forgot, didn't know it was that soon! Definitely interested to see updated sales for both the games and the hardware.
I personally won’t be getting this game but it’s one of the only 3rd party companies that seem to have even an ounce of respect for their consumers, unlike Sega and the others.
Very sad, it feels like a lot of journalism is going away and being replaced by more independent sources.
Best of wishes to Nintendo Life, just stay out of too much controversy. Controversy may help in the short run but in the long run it only hurts the website like it has many others.
Nope, it takes the worst aspects of digital and physical games and combines them.
If people plan to ‘boycott’ them, remember people said they’d boycott the Switch 2 and see how that turned out. I really hope these sell poorly though, this is so anti-consumer
Virtual Game Cards definitely have had positive effects, but I really liked this feature of playing 1 game online with 2 accounts.
I feel like it was essentially Nintendo's way of apologizing for their high prices for digital games, that and gold points and vouchers. First 2 are gone now, and vouchers won't be usable on Switch 2 games. We will have GameShare, but it doesn't seem compatible with a lot of games yet. I think we should get discounts on digital games, like Mario Kart World could be $80 physical, and $70 digital.
I mean it's xbox were people buying these anyway? If we thought their sales numbers were low, interested to see how they will be once these prices go up.
@sanderev I think if it was a flaw they would've fixed it about 7-8 years ago, this is just them taking away a feature.
I'm saying this as someone who actually is happy with the virtual game cards, as it's mostly positive. Just sad that it removes a cool little gimmick since Nintendo has been so greedy with their games since they forgot the DS and 3DS download play feature. Now with GameShare, I'll have hope to be able to do that again!
@drypaphmrbro Let's say there's Account 1 and Account 2, and Switch A and Switch B. If Account 1 is on both Switch A & B, and if Switch A is Account 1's primary console, then you could play the game on Switch B with Account 1, then play it also on Account 2 on Switch A.
Virtual game cards are mostly nice, but I knew a technique that would let me play my digital Mario Bros Wonder on 2 consoles at once for multiplayer with just 1 game, but this new update gets rid of it
@ferryb001 you never had to when embedded on the website like it always was before. I can click on the gamestop post and it lets me see it just fine. (I don't have an account)
Most people don't use My Nintendo for orders, this analyst doing 2.2m My Nintendo sign-ups x 3 feels like simple multiplication at best and poor estimate at worst.

Re: The Next Pokémon Presents Is Coming In July
These presentations are always great, especially for half anniversaries of pay to win mobile games!
Re: Video: Diddy Kong, Tunes & Vines - Here's Everything We Want From Donkey Kong Bananza
I just need King K. Rool, is that too much to ask?
Re: Switch 2 Units Are Allegedly Out In The Wild, But You Might Need An Update To Play Games
I was guessing that was what the update was for, good way to avoid too many leaks! (at least, I hope)
Re: Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Launches October, Switch 2 Version Confirmed
Lol why even release it on Switch 2 when you can get the real game for Switch 1?
Re: Nintendo Gives Us A Closer Look At Switch 2's "All-In-One" Carrying Case
Isn't this $80-90? I'd rather get a higher quality case for half of the price
Re: Random: Check Out This Enormous LEGO Animal Crossing Island With Hidden Treasure
This looks amazing, great job on this!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Four More Titles
Surprised Kirby isn’t in the title to get more clicks. Can’t wait to try this out!
Re: PowerA Reveals Its New Switch 2 Pro Controller Featuring Hall Effect Sticks
I don’t trust powerA controllers, they always get rather quickly, this does not change that for me.
Re: Switch 2's News Section Will Reduce Clutter With Individual Account Feeds
Cool! Hopefully I'll be able to block news for certain series!
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
Honestly I feel like graphics are barely looking better, and Switch 2 will probably be the last big notable jump.
Also not interested in Sega games anymore after they chose the route of no upgrades and game key cards
Re: Nintendo Has Confirmed It Will Be Attending GamesCom 2025
Doug Bowser will breathe there and that’s the only Nintendo involvement
Re: Nintendo Has "No Plans" To Use Game-Key Cards For First-Party-Developed Titles
I almost exclusively get 1st/2nd party games so this is a good for me!
Re: Here's Your First Look At Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch 2
This still looks awful! People were saying 'oh it's just the Switch being underpowered' but this still looks mighty embarrassing

Re: Random: 'New' Super Mario 64 Sound Effect Can Only Be Heard By Leaving The Game On...For 14 Months
Super Mario 64 is a game that seems to always is having stuff discovered even decades later, this is really cool!
Re: Super Mario World Looks To Be The Official Name Of The Next Mario Movie
Personally I thought it’d be called The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2, but this would be cool too!
Based on the source it seems like it’s listed with series like ‘Minions’ and ‘Shrek’, not specific entries, so this is perhaps a mistake.
Re: Opinion: Nintendo's Forgotten The Game With The Most 'Switch 2 Edition' Potential

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Is Now The Second-Best Selling Game In The Series
Well deserved! This TOTALLY deserves high praise, what a game!

Re: Rumour: Donkey Kong Bananza May Include A Local Multiplayer Component
Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land were some of the few 3D adventure games with actual good co-op. I really hope that Diddy Kong would be the 2nd player!
Re: Unlike Nintendo, EA's Game Prices Apparently Won't Be Rising Any Time Soon
@LastFootnote I'm not sure, I feel like I heard that as well but I haven't played them in so long that I can't say for sure either way
Re: Unlike Nintendo, EA's Game Prices Apparently Won't Be Rising Any Time Soon
I mean charging $70 for the same game every year is already quite pricy...
Re: With Switch 2 Looming, Nintendo Has Surpassed Another Monster Financial Milestone
@FishyS That's tomorrow? I almost forgot, didn't know it was that soon! Definitely interested to see updated sales for both the games and the hardware.

Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games And Accessories For May And June 2025
@jco83 @KoiTenchi Yeah August 28th seems like the release date most places I've seen. The page for the game on this website also gives the August release date https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch-2/kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-nintendo-switch-2-edition-plus-star-crossed-world
Re: Poll: Orange Or Red Switch eShop - Make Your Choice
Orange is much better in my opinion, it had it's own identity aside from just being Nintendo.
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?
Nope, it takes the worst aspects of digital and physical games and combines them.

Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?
Probably Pikmin, although Luigi's Mansion, 3D Mario, Mainline Kirby, and (hopefully) Paper Mario are very hype as well!
