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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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'.
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.
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.
This'll be what Nintendo reveal at the Geoff Keighley Awards, er, I mean the Game Awards. There'll be at least one Fortnite character in Smash too. And please God let the Trilogy HD remasters finally come out.
I think these Picross S games are really sterile feel. They have no personality to them. I'm still on Picross S 1 and I don't think I'll bother with any others. I remember when they images you'd uncover would animate. The 3D version (first, not second) also had a good feel about it. Shame these don't recreate that magic.
No sound is a deal breaker sadly. The lag you get with bluetooth those bluetooth dongles is too much of an annoyance. Otherwise I think this looks actually would be great.
Doesn't look like mine is going to arrive until tomorrow. Nintendo really missed a trick by not making this a connected device that can download additional Game & Watch games. Imagine if you had a Nintendo Online subscription and could download old single screen Game & Watch titles. Then next year Nintendo release a dual screen version.

Re: Random: What Is This, A Game Boy For Ants?
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

Re: Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX Lands In June, Along With An Awesome Signature Edition

What exactly complicates this? Weird.
Now the limited edition is less desirable.
Re: How To Improve Your Switch's Internet Connection
My Switch's wifi signal is diabolical. Two bars when everything else is 4 or 5.
Re: Nintendo Reminds Us The Super Mario Bros. 35 Service Will End On 31st March
A pointless exercise really. It only hurts Nintendo to remove this as I bet it's really popular still.
Re: A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism Is Scheduled To Arrive This Week On Switch
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.

@GannonBanned Sorry bad choice of words. I meant new Switch colour (red) which I’m going to get.
Re: Talking Point: So, What Are The Chances We'll See A 'New' Nintendo Switch In 2021?
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.
Re: The Outer Worlds' First Expansion Comes To Nintendo Switch Next Week
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.
Re: Nintendo Won't Be Announcing A New Switch Model "Any Time Soon"
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.
Re: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Frame Rate And Resolution Detailed

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

I think these Picross S games are really sterile feel. They have no personality to them. I'm still on Picross S 1 and I don't think I'll bother with any others.
