I love all of the handhelds and most of the home consoles.
But it's hard to rank generations: they're all great in different ways. My nostalgic kid heart beats the hardest for N64/GBC, but I wouldn't pick it as my favorite.
@Zverik Yeah, the European DS cases are pretty thick and have pretty ugly spines. The US DS ones are thinner and have prettier spines. Thankfully the DS is region free, so I have both EU and US versions in my collection.
Looks like a cool game! Would play it if I had one of the consoles it's on. I've only played one Souls game, Dark Souls 1 on Switch and I love it, though it kicks my butt.
@DrDaisy To be fair, the original article was written before the announcement of platforms. Considering SMT games have come to Nintendo consoles before, the Soul Hackers 1 remake in particular being exclusive to 3DS, it wasn't that strange NL made an article on the upcoming reveal and then updated the article when the game and platforms were announced.
@fighting_game_player LOL, I thought it was about the movie first. I'm happy the article was about the game. The first one was quite lovely (I rate it a 7/10).
I love these recurring Nintendo Life "would love to see game X on Nintendo platform Y" articles – they always fills me with hope... not.
Would have been interesting to see how many of these dreams ended up becoming realized. @Liam_Doolan, can you investigate? You must have written a couple of hundred articles on the subject by now?
@JohnnyC At first, I thought you meant that GTA as a franchise has sold 150 million copies, but it's really just GTA V?! That's insane numbers! Wow... I haven't played it, but I've no doubt it's a quality game. Rockstar are known for it!
Snagged a physical copy of Shadowverse recently and it's a really good game! Highly recommend it!
I also have Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution and Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission in my Switch collection. They are fine, but the former crashes all the effing time. Irritating!
I hope Voice of Cards 1 and 2 will get a physical release eventually. Come on, Square Enix! I'll even import an English language version from Asia!
I'm doing the same as @KateGray: playing my physical copy of Murder by Numbers (imported from Play-Asia, they have the exclusive right). I highly recommend it to fans of Ace Attorney and Picross.
Other than that: Pokémon Legends Arceus and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 + going back to Octopath Traveler and Final Fantasy X-2.
Just started it up, have chosen my starter and cleared the first mission some minutes ago.
I agree that the graphics are not up to the standards you'd expect in this day and age, even on the Switch, but everything else seems pretty solid so far. Will see if it holds up in the long run.

@SteamEngenius Man, that channel has dropped in quality. 😞

@moodycat How was it awful? I thought it was alright, nothing remarkable, but not bad either.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Tops 1 Million Sales Worldwide
My favorite game of 2021. Well deserved!
Re: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Has Sold Over 500,000 Copies Worldwide
Well deserved! These two games are among the best in the series. Would rank them above 4, 5 and 6, but slightly below the original trilogy.
Hopefully this means Ace Attorney 7 is in the works.
Re: Feature: Which Is The Absolute Best Nintendo Console Generation?
I love all of the handhelds and most of the home consoles.

Re: Looks Like Nintendo Has Been Reprinting 3DS Retail Games For A Final Hurrah
@Zverik Yeah, the European DS cases are pretty thick and have pretty ugly spines. The US DS ones are thinner and have prettier spines. Thankfully the DS is region free, so I have both EU and US versions in my collection.
Re: Looks Like Nintendo Has Been Reprinting 3DS Retail Games For A Final Hurrah
I've bought some reprints here in Sweden with the thinner case: Luigi's Mansion and Hatsune Miku.
I also got some reprints of some Atlus and Square Enix games, but those have the regular European 3DS case.

@Anguspuss That's lovely to hear! Adorable that they are counting down.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Sonic The Hedgehog 2
I saw the first movie on Netflix (or was it HBO) and it was neither good nor bad. But I bet kids likes it and that's what matters.
Re: Random: Chilean Boy Recycles 500kg Of Cans To Buy Himself A Nintendo Switch (And Zelda)

Switch Online subscriber here, so will play it that way.
Re: Random: Watch Triangle Strategy's Character Designer Bring The Game's Art To Life
Beaitiful art for a beautiful game. Just finished one of the four endings after close to 40 hours of gameplay. My favorite game so far this year.
Re: Japanese Charts: Triangle Strategy Storms To First Place
The year has barely started, but this is my favorite game so far. Great that it got to number one!

@Azuris Did you try Divinity Original Sin 2? Highly recommended.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Triangle Strategy
The game looks right up my alley. Will pick it up after work today.
Re: Naughty Metroidvania 'Wife Quest' Launches On Switch In March
@khululy No, it was a joke about the background music being ABBA's Fernando on a loop. That sounds like a nightmare to me.
No need for you to put crappy "woke" accusations into the conversation.
Re: Naughty Metroidvania 'Wife Quest' Launches On Switch In March
@nessisonett It's not a horror game, is it?
Re: Random: Elden Ring Just Dethroned Mario Odyssey At The Top Of OpenCritic's 'Best Game' List
Looks like a cool game! Would play it if I had one of the consoles it's on. I've only played one Souls game, Dark Souls 1 on Switch and I love it, though it kicks my butt.

@TMG44 @Grumblevolcano Ah, forgot about that one! Damn, many good games being released now!
Re: UK Charts: Horizon Takes Over Top Spot From Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Wonder if HFW will keep the number one spot next week or if Arceus will reclaim the throne?

Re: Poll: Do You Have An Issue With Xenoblade Chronicles' Accents?
I don't really care that much. Should they have American accents instead? Or Swedish?
Re: It's Official, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Is Launching On Nintendo Switch This September
Best news of the year!
Re: UK Charts: Pokemon Legends: Arceus Still On Top Despite Release Of Dying Light 2
@JohnnyC At first, I thought you meant that GTA as a franchise has sold 150 million copies, but it's really just GTA V?! That's insane numbers! Wow... I haven't played it, but I've no doubt it's a quality game. Rockstar are known for it!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 5th)
I'm doing the same as @KateGray: playing my physical copy of Murder by Numbers (imported from Play-Asia, they have the exclusive right). I highly recommend it to fans of Ace Attorney and Picross.
Other than that: Pokémon Legends Arceus and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 + going back to Octopath Traveler and Final Fantasy X-2.
Re: Random: Here's The Nintendo Switch-Like Steam Deck Compared To Some Other Stuff
@IronMan30 Yeah, what was I thinking? Of course it will.
It'll probably sell pretty well, but I don't think it will be the Switch rival everyone is writing it up to be.
Re: Random: Here's The Nintendo Switch-Like Steam Deck Compared To Some Other Stuff
I can see this easily outselling the Switch by the end of the year.
Re: Video: Zelda 64's Lake Hylia Has Been Reimagined In Unreal Engine 5, And It Looks Absolutely Stunning

@jarvismp It's modern day Konami we're talking about...
Re: Review: Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel - A F2P Card-Battler With Potential, But Noobs Beware
@JokerCK The other YGO game on Switch, Legacy of the Duelist also runs pretty bad with constant crashes. Hasn't been fixed.
