North America sales are later than Europe territories as per usual..

@Turnips Strong agree. The old Sugimori watercolor roughness art still stands out today. Gold/Ethan in the Hg/Ss design is too clean and slim as a lot of art began to take up after now, bleh.

@LikelySatan The detail in gore, dismemberment, the screams of agony, the stealth sections, AI behavior, the varied Slegs and their choice of weaponry, their humorous dialog and banter that goes unnoticed by many, and who could forget the poison that makes enemies throw up their guts? I thought the humanoid reptilian race Slegs was fascinating while menacing (their creepy appearance, stature, and voice), anyway. Mixed reception or not, will like to see it brought back like it's predecessors.

I forgot the release date and assumed it'd be pushed to 2024, so makes no difference to me. With the Turok N64 Trilogy being available on modern platforms, it's got me wondering if Turok Evolution will ever resurface. I have the most fond (and frightful) memories of that particular one. Would absolutely love to play that again with a modern touch.

@DrJoson I'd argue other languages and voicing is part of the game. I stand by what I said. Not supporting this practice physically, shame.

@CANOEberry How hard is it to shove this PS1 game onto a friggen cart? Seriously. I hope the physical sales bomb due to this stupidity.

Holding out until some retailer announces a preorder bonus for this game.

@Member_the_game I mean, Switch hasn't topped PS2 in sales or close..

@Shepdawg1 Fire Emblem Fates there is a Visitor and Battle Bonus for visiting and battling people in their castles. There's reward milestones for both category. These include weapons and stat boosters. Also, some castles by fellow players were designed to allow support bonus grinding and resource gathering. I still actively use these features, so personally, this is a huge blow. My days of grinding those lengthy bonuses are numbered. 😔

Whelp. Will try to play original Splatoon, Mario Kart 7, and other online games exponentially more now knowing that. What a huge downer.. Guess what though, after WiiU and 3DS, Nintendo Switch is the next on the chopping block albeit later down the road.

@EaglyBird Assuming the Switch successor will play Switch games in higher resolution and FPS which there's no reason to believe will be the case, just in their original state.

Why'd they remove her midriff though?

@rjejr Is it not incorrect that you still save money using vouchers on $50 games? If I were to have a few voucher laying in wait, I should consume them rather than spending the $50 eshop credit plus taxes. Very minimal, but savings still.

Please update the article when we learn if the DLC is either on the cartridge or a download code.

@Cashews Isn't there just a GBA version? I have it on my 3DS via 3DS ambassador.

This remake kinda deconfirms the GBA version for NSO yes? Like the Advanced Wars 1 & 2 with the Reboot Camp remake released. That's the only caveat I find with these remakes, Nintendo would rather sell the remakes for full retail price or close than offer the original on their subscription service.

@MooseTinsel Was there? Or is this another instance of "My source is I made it up."

Either way, Popularity vote is not a huge factor as it only grants 8 points while Fyre's team won the Sneak Peak vote gaining 7 points, so the two were close to equal before the deciding points were applied that are reliant on the teams overall skill.

@Fizza That's kinda what I'm alluding to. Idol preferences isn't the deciding factor of majorities pick nor should it. It's the team choices on offer. In this instance, Shiver is ideally the leader and its been stated in the game she was prior, so naturally many will side with her. But there were times when Shiver got a less ideal team preference like Spicy and Dark Chocolate and lost! I do not agree teams should get 'pity' Splatfest wins with a objectively worse team choice for diversity sake. The underlining problem is Nintendo often gives her the better of the three team choices and not offering up choices that would really split peoples vote evenly. If your suspensions are that the majority are picking solely on idol faviotism, then Nintendo should hide the idol team preferences until maybe the day of Splatfest?

@Fizza What's your issue with the wins, that they're not 'diversed' enough for you? That shouldn't matter, it's not Shivers fault that Nintendo is giving her the objectively better team choices.. Japan isn't picking Shiver prior to this Splatfest solely for her, it's the side she's aligned on usually the ideal one, but not always!

@dimi If there exists fan-translations of them for years, then a team set by Nintendo should be relatively easy I'd imagine.

For some, it's going to be a race to reach the credits first and share the discovery online for major clout.

@Anti-Matter I will never forgive them for butchering the English localization.

@TheBigK True that. Also, play the Japanese version of this entry. Localization thought the game may be too hard for us western players, so they changed the effectiveness of weapons like Armourslayers, Halberds and the like from 3x to 2x damage, severely gutting those weapons, nerfing Bow class units and making Flyers even better than they normally are... If you want a rise in difficulty and know Japanese, play the Japanese version 😅.

@-wc- Additionally, those NSO screenshots are taken in the early maps of Lyn mode, the tutorial portion of the game.

People are gonna relive FE7, play just one playthrough that forces the easiest tutorial and difficulty on new saves, complete with eaze, and think Lyn is the best unit in the game ever when that's far from the truth. Quite lackluster in harder difficulties.

Hector Hard Mode is the actual meat of the game. You gotta complete the game 2 or 3 times; with increasing the difficulty every completion before getting access to HHM. Shame they hadn't released a SP version with those unlocked from the get-go.

Nothing wrong with cute fictional women, don't gotta be unsure about that.

I would had posed a question relating to their optimization. Why is it worse than previous entries? Why can't I buy X amount of consumables like Tonics and Vulneraries more than one at a time? Also, why doesn't these items stack in the convoy? They're set individually. I take a big issue with this since it was seamless in Fates as they stacked properly, but every time I'm loading up my party with Tonics in Preparations, it's such a chore to scroll through the list again for the next Tonic as it doesn't remember your last placement either. I had hoped they would had remedied this in one of their DLC wave updates, but seems like they're done with this game, update wise.

Ahh, no Binding Blade.. Nintendo can fund throwaway titles like 1-2-Switch and a sequel, but not for translating games on their NSO service to pull in more people?...

@RubyCarbuncle Splatfests aren't becoming unfun, you just got older.

@ComfyAko I've had over $120 worth of gold coins accumulated from 3ds and wiiu purchases in its last days.

@nintendolife Can't help but point out that I did mention the game size listings on the eshop pages an hour before SE formally announced the release date video last week through as a news tip message to your staff (with no name mention might I add)

Found the listings on the eshop an hour before they announced on socials. Was a pleasant surprise for sure.

I never understood how anyone could say Stadium or Stadium 2 are impossible with rentals. You're pretty limited to your monster choices. but that's what it is: a test of knowing which monsters to pick. You're going to get unlucky and lose every now and again, but it's not so bad. What people mean by 'impossible' is rather "can't steamroll".

8 or 7. For the English release anyway, since they neutered some dialogue whereas the spanish and german translation remained much more faithful.

Does this apply to System Transferring from one WiiU to another?

@N8tiveT3ch Meal for 4 people, right?

C'mon, you've not walked to a patch a grass, and thought- "If I can cut trees, can I cut grass?"and gave it a try? Seems so obvious..

Splatoon 2 icons seemingly forgotten in the wake of S3.

@Polvasti Can't help but notice those who got their feathers rustled by your statements happen to have some anime girl or female illustration profile picture. Reeks of bias.

@steely_pete Lyn's popularity soared through Fire Emblem Heroes, a mobile gacha game, with much new art she received that exaggerated her proportions compared to her original design. Little before was Lyn recognized and discussed outside being an assist trophy in Smash. I'd wager much of her fanbase that spawned with FEH know little about her actual character and is just a 'fan' of her art.

I fail to see why you point out Lyn however, as she's as far from a knight as it gets growing up in a tribe and fought in similar garb appropriate for hunting and the like.

I miss the times pre Awakening when female character art were really tame and wore convincing gear as if they're fighting in a kill-or-be-killed war, no overly revealing tops. More in lines of Jill from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn needed no assistance in her appeal. But I blame it on the fact that sex appeal sells more than class designs and it showed evidently throughout Fire Emblem history of games.

Seeing as how I let my NSO standard subscription expire and no intentions of being locked into the Expansion Pass, I'm delighted that this game will be a standalone N64 purchase that I can be assured I can still play a decade beyond even when support for Switch gets dropped eventually!

@Switch_Pro Remakes don't count in your world? Even those that added new lore and forms of Pokemon.. Additionally, have full connectivity to the other mainline games of that generation and beyond? Odd..

Do people really take IGN's opinions and reviews seriously in modern times?

@Switch_Pro Within a decade.. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will be hard to beat.

I hope Alm is back as well. Of the two, I thought Alm was the more popular. But probably has female bias if they had to choose 1; they neglected both as a pair in FE Warriors only adding Celica representing Echoes and I hope to goodness sake that they don't repeat that with this game.. Alm is a beast, love the character, wanna see more of him outside his main game.

@Mach_Rider That's a lot of hoops you went through just to be empty handed. It's not worth it..

@HalloHerrNoob More of Gym Leader Blue diversity please. Or take the Pokemon Stadium approach and give Gym Leaders Pokes outside their type preference that makes sense and makes use of their type, through moves.

Streamer? Preorder canceled.

@Dev9417 It being expensive is a blessing. Money sinkhole's are healthy for the game. Splatoon 3 really went out of its way to make sure there's plentiful ways to make use of cash other than ordering gear from other players, Splatnet gear, and Scrubbing so that money won't stockpile to the maximum like in Splatoon 2 for many who regularly played.

You really just want to try it out once a day spending the discounted price while saving up to upgrade your gear. It having the one roll at a discounted price per day incentives the player to come back daily too; it's genius.

@johnvboy Do you feel satisfaction for not spending a cent on a game designed to entice people in spending money? I often find you in these mobile related articles gloating you don't like an echo chamber so I have to ask. You bring up majority and minority at a similar rate, but you realize we're the minority that doesn't mind being drip-fed content whereass the majority, weaker-willed, have funded this game be it a 20 bucks or pocket change to secure the content right then without tedious grind. It's why this game is still afloat.

I'm sure there's some pictures during the time SSBU was in the middle of development; they would be really intriguing. Use those when the ones with references or just outright silly pictures are used up!

Seeing how much MK9 Tour tracks make it in every single wave instead of focusing more on MK8 prior installment courses kinda saddens me. There's no way we will be getting every Tour originated track, so why not save them all for MK10 so that more retro tracks can get a new surge of life, ones not ever been remade moreso??
