I just started Skyrim on Switch. Enjoying it. Sort of glad this isn't coming out on Switch as I'd be really cross! But some QoL improvements would be lovely!

So they obviously don’t look as good as the other consoles but anyone who moans about that is being ridiculous. These look great and what I do like is that they’re more in line with how I my memory recalls playing the original games where as the other consoles look a bit more shiny.

I’m getting the physical version but I’m annoyed they cheaped out on the game card.

But the in game graphics don't change to reflect the controller you're using? Lazy.

I played the only two games I've never played before. Operation Winback and MUSHA. Which seem both pretty good.

Day one of the physical on Switch! This looks great though realise it's probably Xbox or PS capture.

I love this art style. I bought Stardew Valley but I really struggled to get into it. I need someone to hold my hands in the opening of this game. I just get so lost and it feels aimless, like, it's literally 'do what you want, I don't care' but even just a subtle push into a basic direction would help. This looks just as good and I love the combat and shop building.

My game crashed and I didn't have any markers on the map so I don't know what that's on about.

They must have released every single arcade game ever by now so they probably have to move on to console games!

The whole transferring your Nintendo account / system / saves from one console to another is a horrid process.

Oooh, a new people to add to my ignore list I see.

I actually don't want to read anything in this review or look at any pictures as I don't want anything spoiled even though I'm sure you've been careful about that. But I've played and loved every Metroid game so I'm happy I'll enjoy this one too.

Satoru Iwata, please.

I'm not sure a white person at Nintendo Life telling a Latino person their argument about lack of diversity isn't valid is a good look.

Though I'm thankful for this thread because it's let me know who I should ignore - wow, some of the replies.

Chris Pratt only has this role because Hollywood. Someone else could do this role just as well, if not better. Jack Black could be a good Bowser though.

Don’t think it’s on the EU/UK eShop. I’d love to give it a go though.

This demo and the video have convinced me I need to buy this game.

I’m not sure I’d really want a sealed game. I’d want to play it. But I don’t think I’d pay any more than somewhere between £100-200. Mainly because I’m not made of money!

So yes, YES. YES!! To to all of these games coming to Nintendo Switch online. I'd be really surprised if any of them make it as I doubt Nintendo is willing to pay any of the licence holders the kind of money they'd want to put these games on a "free" service.

I have memories of either TMNT or SMB3 on the NES. It’ll be one of those two I think but not sure which. I can’t remember, I’m old.

Not sure I’m keen on this “alien invasion” theme. Also the scenery looks pretty stiff and the set pieces purely aesthetic. The bus crash looked awful.

Wow, the stuff they put on there is dull these days.

Well I’ll buy it because it being digital only is the reason I didn’t. I’m not a massive fan of importing.

So I've got this ordered from Amazon.co.jp. I have the base unit, the roller and the arcade stick. All ordered as separate packages, just shy of £300 including shipping and import fee (at the time of writing). The list of games is amazing! Elevator Action, all the Puzzle Bobble games, Rainbow Islandsm, New Zealand Stories. All those beat 'em ups, shooters!

It's wonderful, but honestly I best not... It won't work very well with Apple I assume and I already have an Apple Watch.

Sounds like someone is jealous of someone's Pokemon card collection.

Firewatch was wonderful but I finished it in a few hours, so I also bought Talos Principle.

£54?!

I don't think so.

Where do you pre-order the physical in the UK? I can't find this launch edition version, only a standard edition.

I don't think the Switch itself needs to be bigger. Sure, get rid of the bezel we currently have so the screen can be a little bigger but as a unit, it's big enough.

I played the demo and hated it. There characters were annoying, the story is too linear for my tastes, the puzzles were too easy, the gameplay felt too basic.

It's stunning but it's £450 for the full package! I'll pray we get an international release.

I had the Harvest Moon 1 on the GBC (I think). It could have been regular Game Boy. I loved it. I don't think I ever fully understood how to play it though.

Super Nintendo Switch sounds cool to my ears but I'm not sure it would do well with a marketing team because last time Nintendo put 'Super' in front of a system, it was a brand new system.

New Nintendo Switch makes sense based on previous Nintendo naming conventions and it helps understand that it's still Nintendo Switch is still the same series but it's the new version.

The trouble with Nintendo Switch+ would be other companies use this moniker to indicate a bigger screen size so could cause confusion.

If I was a betting person, I'd bet on 'New'.

Showing as “not available to purchase for me”

Amiibo are not physical DLC. They don't download a new feature to the game. The feature is already there, you just need the amiibo to use it.

I don't know if I"d think it better or worse if it withheld (unnecessary but fun) portions of the game like Twilight Princess. The scarcity of them makes me think it'd be worse.

But fake amiibo cards are easy to come by these days aren't they?

And as others have mentioned I don't think this is a QoL improvement to the game, it's more of a cheat because it lets you fly to the sky in dungeons when that is really a little illogical seeing as you're in a building, or probably underground.

Very strange. Even if all it did was top up your hearts or other items. I know there ism potential for Nintendo to reveal more info about the game (if there is more to tell) but it seems Nintendo are being less ambitious with this re-release if they intent to charge full price and provide a bigger than standard amiibo.

Trouble is this is a new game to a lot of the people that played Breath of the Wild that might be interested in it so they may not realise or care.

And people (like me) will by the amiibo because regardless it's a gorgeous little figure to collect.

It is super tempting. If I had an excess of money I would totally buy it but as I know I would only play it once I'll have to pass.

@HotGoomba So?

I'm not buying it then. At least not at full price.

It's cool and all but, like, not enjoyable to actually use seriously. I struggled with the Game Boy Micro if I'm honest.

Unrelated: the presenter of this video is cute. <3

This just convinced me to buy the handheld and the entire collection.

Oh my God I would LOVE THIS. Please release this outside of Japan, HORI!!!

On the pre-order page: “ Note: due to Brexit complications there will be no pre-order coin offered with this title.”

What exactly complicates this? Weird.

Now the limited edition is less desirable.

My Switch's wifi signal is diabolical. Two bars when everything else is 4 or 5.

A pointless exercise really. It only hurts Nintendo to remove this as I bet it's really popular still.

Wasn't this on 3DS too? And for a considerable amount less.

I think I quite liked its but not £54 liked it. On the Wishlist waiting for a sale then.

It looks stunning but very simple in the gameplay.

Even the clasps are magnetic? The videos suggest so. I would worry that if I dropped this bag the the magnets could be pulled apart by force and then everything will come flying out where as a zip at least is a physically bound together structure.

Nintendo Life being Nintendo Life with the clickbait.

So let's be clear: The games are not being wiped from existence. If you bought them in physical format you will always have them.

It was announced before they were released that they would be discontinued at the end of March. People that want the game have had plenty of time to buy. There have certainly been no stock shortages that I've seen reported.

If you downloaded them they will always be on your Switch - make sure you keep them on an SD card otherwise long after the Switch is discontinued you may no longer be able to re-download them. This is not an issue unique to Nintendo Switch. You make that choice when you buy digital only. It is unreasonable to expect a any company to support an online infrastructure when the cost becomes greater than the return.

Do we know if Super Mario 35 will work after it's no longer available to download?

I'd also point out that Super Mario 35 was free to those with Nintendo Switch Online. Nintendo is under no obligation to support it forever.

But I don't get the point of them taking them off the online store. Super Mario 35 is a good way to get people interested in Nintendo Switch Online as its fun. Mario 3D All Stars is surely easy money for Nintendo with people still buying Nintendo Switches by the bucket load. Sure, don't produce the p
physical version anymore, but removing the digital one? Just weird business practices. All physical games eventually have their production discontinued.

It’s not that I don’t like chibi art styles but the graphics on this just look bad. Like some freeware harvest moon game on iOS from about four or five years ago. Legends was also terrible. I’m sorry, it might sounds extreme but I think it’s shameful.

I played it to 100% on my Wii U but I sold that all while ago. I've got a lovely shiny new Mario red Switch and the physical game to play today. Cannot wait!
