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!

They very obvious Sonic 2 on the MegaDrive homage with the music and the addition of tales. I truly hope they wait for Sonic 3 before we get Knuckles!

I was like: "this sounds no different"

And then I put my earphones in.

I mean, they've surely already cast the replacement?

@GannonBanned Sorry bad choice of words. I meant new Switch colour (red) which I’m going to get.

I think it depends if BotW 2 is going to be ready for Christmas. If it isn't then the new version of the Switch will be pushed back. I also wouldn't be surprised if Metroid Prime 4 is a key factor in new Switch hardware as well.

Hmmm, it's cheap to buy on Amazon right now. If it wasn't for Mario 3D World and the new Switch, I'd definitely be interested. Dammit.

I'm willing to bet we'll be getting the Switch Pro for Christmas. Or at least an announcement for whenever BotW 2 is released.

I know it's probably my old eyes, but I read the other day that a game I was playing was 720p docked and it surprised me because I thought it looked gorgeous. Lol.

I'm very excited for this and the red Switch.

This is a bit dramatic I think. It's commonly known that Nintendo is quite a cash rich company and the Wii U underperforming wouldn't have depleted anywhere near that. With Nintendo putting all its eggs in one basket with the Switch, I think it was a pretty safe bet that it would sell better than the Wii U as well.

I downloaded it and tried it. It was ... OK. The story was good and delivered in a fun way I've not really seen before in a game. The world was quite nice looking and seemed a little busier than Hyrule so that was good. The water is terrible. The climbing is not as good as BotW. The controls are overly complicated and not at all intuitive. I kept forgetting the countless number of combinations by the time any enemy of significance was on screen. Flying felt nice and so did the bow and arrow (the one that you can fly through those hoops to get the bonus chest was awesome!).

I'm definitely interested in a demo.

I still need to play through the first Revelations games. I bought them and will eventually.

Love Mike Choi. I would totally buy something like from Nintendo though Mike shows that this particular method does not work very well!

Is it just me or is Super Back to the Future Part II trying really hard to be Sonic the Hedgehog?

I tried this. It was beautiful. And creepy.

I find it funny that the the bundle with Super Mario 3D world is actually a penny more expensive than ordering it all separately because they put some joy-con stick covers in the mix.

I've had this pre-ordered I think since August. I keep getting notifications from Amazon that the dates changing.

So the way you can tell is the texture on the moustache and the awful colouring around the eyes? Otherwise it's a direct copy.

What I find hilarious about this is that Nintendo (and other companies that have also done this) don't have a local server with all their images on. They just go on Google images and go, 'yeah I'll use that one' and not even care where it comes from. I guess it's their copyright really so there's not much artist can do I'd imagine.

It smarts a little though when you consider Nintendo take down all the fan created games and then go 'we'll take that and use it on our website thank you very much'.

Using the dock as a way to boost the performance so it can to 4K is a no brainer, surely?

A series I would love to see come to Switch.

I would love Yakuza on Switch. If we could just have the two ports that were on Wii U I’d certainly buy them.

I love this series and hope this one makes it onto Switch. 4 seemed a little rushed in some parts though.

I saw the photos of this the other day and it looks so tightly packed in which is not great, currently. Still, I'm excited to see what this place looks like in a close up perspective.

@eltomo Ha ha, good job!

Yeah. I have a little dabble with fraction shares for "fun" and I made 40p on Nintendo this last week. Ha!

Sounds like an absolute scam.

@Iggy-Koopa Such a strange thing for Quantic Dreams to be funding this then? Maybe they're branching out.

Quantic Dreams? As in Quantic Dreams that made Heavy Rain, Detroit and Fahrenheit? OK wow. That's surprising! It looks OK. Looked a bit Last Guardian in places with those giant monsters.
