@LastFootnote I sincerely hope I'm wrong, too. But the previews seemed to be focussed very much on multiplayer. Let's hope they just left the single player bits out, because Nintendo is so focussed on having us push that [C] Button on the Switch 2, so we all use GameChat...
I already pre-ordered the 3-pack with Resi 7-9 and the Pro Controller. I can't wait until end of the week to receive my precious Resi package! After some consideration, I think I will play 9 first, but I might change my mind and dive into 7 first. I am not sure if the games really need to be played in order...
Where is that "3rd week of February Nintendo Direct" I keep hearing rumours about? My hopes are getting really slim with how much was announced already through the Nintendo Today app...
Also, I probably won't watch this, as I want to go into Pokopia as spoiler-free as possible and Super Mario Bros Wonder With The Title That Is Needlessly Long Switch 2 Edition doesn't really interest me so much, as the single player content is slim pickings...
@RoboCube That would truly bum me out and would not make these game worth €20 at all, if you ask me. The only way I'm buying these is if they have Home support. Otherwise, what's the point for me, if I already own the GBA roms?
To be fair, I'm surprised Mario Tennis Fever manages to stay in the top 10, seeing as it's quite a niche game. Would love to play it sometime soon, but my backlog won't allow it. Especially since I won't be playing it online as I'm not into online multiplayer at all.
@JS_Comics I just checked again, apparently it was first confirmed, then removed... NintendoLife has asked TPC for confirmation. I don't want to give you the wrong information. If it doesn't have Home connectivity, I will probably refrain from getting the games altogether, seeing as I own both roms for GBA and would rather replay those, then.
Although this is a very exaggarated comment, I can completely understand that seeing your project being spoiled is a despicable act. People who actively go out of their way to do this are not fun people, especially at parties.
I am glad I personally have not seen anything that spoiled the story for me, thus far. But I am actively avoiding posts on social media about Resi 9.
Wow, 50/50?! Even after I voted it didn't change, haha. I chose the EU one. There's just something Very nostalgic about the golden box with the sword and shield on it.
@RiasGremory Last thing I heard we are getting a Wilds port. I would be up for that, to be honest. The game seems to have had a bumpy start, but most of that has been addressed by now. I think Capcom's biggest mistake is trying to make it too story driven. They should use this series for that, instead.
Since they have Home compatibility, I might just get them. Also the Switch 2 screen is pretty big, so it might be a cool way to play them like that in handheld mode. I wonder if they will be adding a legendary as a reward for completing the Dex in Home, though.
I already have both on GBA. But if I'm gonna double dip, it will be Leaf Green, initially. I am not 100% sure if I can be convinced to buy it for €20. I will probably replay one of them with Retro Achievements soon, if I get the itch, though.
@SuperEndriu That's because this is a January chart and Mario Tennis Fever didn't release until halfway February.
@Anti-Matter You're so edgy for not liking FF7... Why even bother commenting? We all know you don't like whatever topic the article's about and always like something else. You're like a record that's stuck.
My first time was as a six year old kid at my friend's home. They had a NES and I had a SEGA Master System at home. Playing Zelda was really something else back in those days. The feeling of adventure was so big! There really wasn't anything close to it.
Hello fellow Nintendo Lifers! I won't have as much time to play this weekend, but I have made some nice progress with what I played. This is what I'm currently up to:
Japan always gets the good stuff, eh? I won't hold my breath for a EU release any time soon, but this is the kind of stuff I am willing to buy day one.
I'll have to watch it later, as I will be preparing for a market with my wife then, but I can't wait to see what announcements they're going to make. But in all honesty, it can't get much better after already announcing the GBA releases of Fire Red and Leaf Green.
Tyrantrum for me. I just love my T-rex Pokémon so much. I let out an excited little scream when I found out he was part of the Z-A dex, too, haha. Such an awesome Pokémon, with a great type combo and I even managed to tromp quite some players online with it, due to the moves it can learn.
The more I hear about Pokopia and its development team, the more excited I get to play it. It genuinely sounds like a really good Pokémon spin-off and I can't wait to see the official reviews to confirm that it is in fact as good as the previews already stated it is.
So, it's sort of a split pad, but it's not... I really don't like this design at all. It tries to grab you by the nostalgia, but at the same time it completely changes the D-Pad to something hideous and changes the good ol' nipple C-stick to a regular thumbstick. No sir, I don't like it!
I am not comparing anything. I am just saying that the game is old and should run better on newer hardware, not worse. Pretty sound logic, right? But I guess nothing is logical when it comes to Bethesda, lol.
Truly embarassing that a game like this even has a quality and performance mode. It should be quality AND performance. But hey, that's just me thinking that this is a very old game by now.
The new update and Switch 2 edition upgrade pack have done very little to draw me back in. This patch won't do that, either. I guess I am just yearning for a new AC game. Or I should just get Fantasy Life i and get that itch for a cozy game scratched.
The fact that none of these can be played without a peripheral is bad. They could have easily done so. I don't know when I'll get the cardboard one. I think the VB shell is too expensive for my taste. And why the drip feed? 🙄
Yeah, I'll just wait until all games are available and then get the cardboard headset thingie. I am in no hurry to experience these games and I really don't understand why they need to drip feed games when you can only play them with a peripheral this time around. I am starting to dislike a lot of these practices, lately.
I'll refrain from giving it a score and voting for now, since I don't own it yet and probably won't for a while. My educated guess is that it will be a 7 for me, though. Seeing as I'm mostly a single player gamer.
Glad to see Dragon Quest VII still in the list! I will get it when I finish FFVII Remake, probably.
I wonder how well Mario Tennis Fever will hold up, seeing it come in second now is good, but I fear it might be a bit too niche compared to Mario Kart (or mainline games for that matter).
Pretty cool, but it's the same pose as the Amiibo. I had hoped for something more substantial. Anyway, I'm not in the market for these statues anyway. It looks pretty detailed, but the prices are what keeps me from getting these.
I am glad I am not often a day 1 buyer of many games, so that I can reap all the benefits of editions like this. I might just get this game some day. Ys seems like one of those series that's worth exploring after I exhausted other JRPG series.
I agree that the toy is cute, but you only get to hatch the egg once (which kinda makes sense) and after that it's kinda a bit like a talking doll, which is cute in its own right. But I can't help but feel that this toy is very wasteful. The shell is probably made of cheap plastic which will be discarded after the hatching. I really don't like the whole idea of how sustainable this toy is. There's already too much plastic in the world.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 9 Pokémon?
As a Jigglypuff fan, it should come as no surprise that my favourite of this gen is Scream Tail. But Tinkaton is a very close second!

Great, now add Xenoblade Chronicles X, too. Please. And Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
Re: "We Thought It Would Be Fun" - Nintendo Explains Why Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Aren't On Switch Online
"We thought it would be fun to charge 20 a pop for these. People will buy them anyway, because nostalgia." — Nintendo, probably.
And yes, I will buy Leaf Green, probably... But still, their reasoning is as sound as ever...

Finally! I can't wait to play them again on my Switch
Re: Hands On: Xenoblade Chronicles X & Mira Are Even More Magnificent On Switch 2
Getting it as soon as I finish TotK as my next big game! Can't wait to dive in. Glad I waited until booting it up since getting a Switch 2!
Re: Rumour: A Monster Hunter Wilds Switch 2 Port Is Coming, A Fresh Datamine Suggests
Big if true. I would welcome it, seeing as the game now seems largely positively reviewed on Steam after its initial release.

Greninja is a close second, though.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Gets Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade, Out Now
I am so glad I held off on starting this game. I will be picking this upgrade up as soon as I can after I finish TotK to 100%! Can't wait go dive in!
Now let's hope they'll give the rest of the series a Switch 2 edition as well!

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Tennis Fever?
