Does all the slowdown have to do with the servers of Square or is it just that the switch isn't capable enough stream all the data required to run the game for a long period of time? I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is due to the hardware. If so, I wonder why they even made a Cloud version for the Switch if they knew that it would suck

I would love to see professor layton in smash, amaterasu and rayman would also be great additions!

Highly recommend a short hike for those who haven't played. The game is indeed short, but totally worth it, especially for the 4 euros or something that it costs. I'd also recommend Part Time UFO, I don't know if it really counts as wholesome but it is really chill and I've had a lot of fun playing it with friends

Is it just me or does Daisy have the crazy eyes in this game? :S

I really want to know who the people are that buy these games? Are they masochists? Parents that just don't know better? Memelords perhaps? Why o why does this world with all its problems need a second Moorhuhn kart lmao

Remember playing the demo when it game out, seemed like a really fun game then but at 15 euros it was waaay too expensive for younger me.. I'd definitely by Harmoknight 2 if it ever comes out, I'm always in for rhythm games

It's a shame that the developers didn't do more to justify this remake and its high price. SS is one of the few zelda games that I haven't played yet, but I don't think that I'm willing to pay 60 bucks for a game that is apparently a weaker game in the series, and doesn't look that different from the Wii original

I hope so! I think we can all agree that the Switch is in need of some technical upgrades. But I doubt that the Switch will get a huge upgrade apart from a resolution bump and some more processing power. Nintendo probably wants to support the original Switch model as long as possible. If they'd bring out a Switch Pro with exclusive Pro games we'd probably get another WiiU like debacle lol

I'll be playing Stardew Valley this weekend. Stopped playing a year ago, but now that I've picked it up again I've absolutely fallen it love with it. It's amazing how much stuff I haven't seen yet

I remember an article from 3 years ago where Nintendo filed a patent concerning a Donkey Kong-like rollercoaster. The patent contained ideas to let the rollercoaster emulate a minecart-like level. The carts could jump and switch rails just like they do in Donkey Kong Country. Maybe they actually implemented these ideas into an actual rollercoaster? I hope so!

Edit: I'm talking about this: https://www.slashfilm.com/super-nintendo-world-rides/.

I didn't even know that you could do this with the IR camera. It looks very promising, and it reminds me of the QR-codes you could scan in some 3ds-games to receive miis or custom made levels. Implementing these codes in games like SSBU or Mario Maker 2 could make finding levels a lot easier. Just create an IR-code and share it on social media!

Remember those names everyone because I've heard a rumour that 6 of them will appear in the SSBU fighters pass

Who else is getting really tired of all these discounts on garbage games? Because there aren't many ways to easily navigate the eshop, I mostly scroll through the discount section, but the experience keeps getting worse by the week with all the 90%-percent discounts on trash such as every game from Ocean Media or Qubicgames

I've voted The Wonderful 101 simply because I've never played the full game, but I remember being very intrigued by the Wii U demo when it came out. Also, people who voted Amiibo Festival... why?

Astonishing. I wonder what the game will be.

This looks really cool and creative but I hope that the game designers use this well and not too often, otherwise it will just feel like a cheap way to lengthen the game.

It looks great! The artwork reminds me more of the second game than the Gamecube entry, but I don't consider that to be bad.

I've got to say that I was a bit disappointed after the direct. Sure, it was nice to see some Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing footage, but we already knew that these games existed. If I'm correct, the only new first-party game that Nintendo announced was a sequel to BOTW (which is, of course, extremely awesome). The only other notable thing IMO was Banjo in smash, but even though that's great, it's still 'just' a DLC for an existing game so it's not something to be too excited about.

The rest of the Direct was just announcing games on the Switch that we've had for months or even for years on other platforms. I mean, it reconfirms that the Switch gets the third-party support it deserves, but again, it's not something new...

I bought NITW 3 weeks ago, but I may buy the physical version when it releases. I have yet to make up my mind about how good this game is, but it might be the best game I've ever played.

More Luigi's Mansion footage, a new Donkey Kong platformer and a new F-zero would be great. Some first footage about MP4 would also be nice

So it releases on Valentines Day... That makes this movie the perfect opportunity for those who want to break up with their spouse! Just go to the movie and you'll be fine

It looks like it is based a lot on Mario Kart 7. Of the three stages being shown, two of them are from MK7 and the kart custom parts are also reused. I'm honestly glad that there aren't many new things here, because I'd rather have new stages/characters in Mario Kart 9 than in this mobile game. It looks nice, but that screenshot of Choco island (or whatever that stage is called) looks a bit bland.

Good luck everyone! And thank you Qubicgames for being so kind

Damn those are some good deals. I might buy Yooka-Laylee for €20,-. I heard some critical voices about this game but it looks like a fun collectathon

I'm already looking forward to the upcoming 5 years where this movie will be memed to infinity

Why are people so upset about this? I agree that it's childish humor, but it's nothing more than that. SSBU is PEGI 12+, I think that these souls can handle a picture of a pissing mario or a badly drawn penis. But banning people over an immature map, seriously? That is, in my opinion, just as immature as the creators themselves.

€17,- for L.A Noire is very tempting, I might buy it! But the other deals are not really that good imo, Zelda is €70,- on the eshop so with 30% off you'll just end up with the retail price.

This weekend I probably won't be playing anything, but as soon as I get my salary I will get Baba Is You from the eshop. I've seen some footage of it and it looks like an incredible challenging but fun puzzle game. I still have Grim Fandango: Remastered tho, but I'm stuck in Chapter 3 and I'm too stubborn to use a walkthrough lol

20% off Hydroventure: Spin Cycle as a part of an official loyalty programme is one of the most infuriating things I've seen from Nintendo in a while

Ooohh yes I'm really digging these rewards! 35% off Big Brain Academy? What a steal!

You can also get a few free 3ds games for gold points! I got BIT.TRIP SAGA for 200 points and so far it's great. These discounts however... not so great

It has to be f-zero. The switch doesn't have a proper original racing game yet (I'm saying original because the Switch only has MK8D and Fast Racing Neo, who were both l
ported from the wii U). It's also a delight for the fans and fits perfectly with the online service. But whatever it will be, quotes like this always make me really excited

I bought world of goo and west of loathing from the sale! I've already played world of goo for an hour or so; very interesting game and much harder than I expected. Haven't played west of loathing yet, but I've heard very good stories about the game.

I also have enough gold coins to get BIT.TRIP Saga for free, so I'll download that game when I'm done playing the other two games. I've wanted to play the BIT.TRIP games for a long time, but I've read stories about how the music isn't synchronised well with the gameplay, so I'm curious how that will work out.

@OorWullie I recall having read a news article about Nintendo granting patents related to rollercoasters and other attractions. All I remember was a DK rollercoaster where the vehicle would be attached to something underneath the track, so that it would look like the vehicle were jumping across tracks, just like in the DKC series. I'll try to look it up.

Ooh that's amazing! I'm a little addicted to this game; since I got the NES games from Nintendo's online service, dr. Mario is the game that I've been playing the most.

@MH4 WarioWare on mobile would be great. I think that Rhythm Heaven on mobile would also turn out to be good.

Mutant Mudds collection for 2,59 is a really good deal. Already have it on the 3ds tho, so I'm not buying it again.

SNES games would be awesome, although I doubt that Nintendo would make all these games availabe (at once). SNES games have aged much better than NES games, and while NES games are mostly games that you play one time and then never again (at least from my experience), SNES games can still be played from beginning to end, so making them all available would be very generous from Nintendo.

World 6 and the last level of World 5 in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze! It also has amazing music

I would love to see Metroid Prime 4 footage, and a remake of Super Mario Sunshine would also be amazing. It's the only 3D Mario that I've never played.

So if each amiibo costs around €15,- , the storage box would cost around €945,-... Assuming that the price is just 15 x 63 of course. Thanks but I'll pass.

Looking at the results of the poll, Sakurai would be very disappointed in us all

Piranha Plant is the best character nobody asked for

I'll play Okami and The Way. I bought The Way in sale for 3 euros, but I was a bit sceptical about the game, since the reviews were very mixed (including the review from this site). Until now, I have to say that the game is fantastic: the graphics are great, the puzzles keep me interested and overall the game creates a very sci-fi ambiance. I'd really recommend the game

My first and also favourite Mario Party was Mario Party DS. Wonderful game, the minigame are so much fun and the boards have withstood the test of time. I also played Mario Party 9, but all I can remember is that it was a very frustrating experience

@Octane it calculates the average steps that you get when you roll the dice. If Monty Mole rolls a 1, he doesn't take 1 step, but he gets 1 coin. The average amount of steps he takes is (0 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6)/6 = 3.33 steps

@TheGhostWhoWalks they need to make money. If everyone would just turn off their adblockers there would probably be less of these articles.

@WiltonRoots I also don't have a strong desire to watch Netflix on my Switch (since I also have a phone, a laptop and a tv that can also do this in a higher resolution) but still, it's always nice to have this opportunity, especially if you're using a device made by a company like Nintendo, who wants to market the Switch not purely as a game device, but as an 'entertainment device' (since Nintendo also is suddenly an entertainment company, right?). Having exclusive Mario titles apparently isn't enough to keep (new) Switch users motivated to keep carrying the Switch around, and having apps like Netflix or Youtube may fulfill our needs.

Even though I know that it's mostly PR talk from Reggie, I think that this is actually the best strategy for Nintendo. If Nintendo still were to compete with Sony and Microsoft, they would definitely fail, since the consensus is that the PS4/Xbox are the consoles to go for to play pop culture games (FIFA, GTA, CoD, AC etc.) and this won't change easily. Nintendo competes with Netflix, mobile games, TV, or other types of media that are 'just fun to do'. If they don't target at those groups you get another WiiU scenario, where some families and passionate NintendoLife visitors are the only ones to buy the console.

This is also the reason why it's so important for Nintendo to get Netflix/Youtube/Crunchyroll/Twitch on the Switch.

Still playing Okami, the game is much bigger than I expected! I love the game, the story is pretty decent and the characters are very memorable

Okami! Wonderful game, I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the 3D-Zelda's, OOT style.
