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.
maybe that's because we're getting actual new content for these games?
I've been waiting for Forgotten Land DLC since it came out 3+ years ago and we're finally here! $20 sounds like a really good price for the DLC, definitely will get it when it comes out!
@EVIL-C I mean I haven’t studied it, but you can’t just deny it ever happening. US President Ronald Regan’s assassination attempt against him was done because of a movie, I believe, but there was a mental problem in that as well, so it wasn’t really the main cause.
I agree banning stuff is terrible, but as I said earlier there’s tons of eShop games that are shovelware and should be removed.
@westman98 I agree censorship is bad, but I no doubt want all those shovelware games on eShop removed. Ubisoft is tricking their costumers and ultimately shouldn’t be allowed to.
@EVIL-C IGN is a really bad source and pretty much would defend any controversial game to gain website traction. I think games can cause violence, but that’s never the sole reason. I didn’t say I agree with the controversy, but it’d probably be best to avoid the thing. Ubisoft is a very anti consumer company so it’d be nice to get less of those games.
@jolteon23 @EVIL-C I mean when the Japanese government gets involved in the game’s controversy, maybe Japan company should refrain from supporting the game?
Nintendo shouldn’t let this game be on Switch 2, it’s a bad look especially to consumers in Japan
edit: this comment was posted half a year ago why do people keep replying? I don't think Ubisoft in general is a good studio to support either, and since it's game key card it's not like many people will ever notice or care that this game is rereleasing.
"fan favorite" * doesn't see Shine Thief or Renegade Roundup *
It's actually just the ones that aren't the fan favorites, I thought 8 Deluxe disrespected battle mode enough, but sadly worse in this game. So far this game looks great, but really hoping for those modes.

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: Rumour: Donkey Kong Bananza May Include A Local Multiplayer Component

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: 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: PSA: You Can Still Play One Game Across Two Switches, But Not Online Anymore

Also no way Madden 13 gets mentioned, the one with the custom character!
