They kind of messed up DQ1 in my opinion

The random encounters go from tolerable to straight up ridiculous and unfair in a blink. Nothing like getting punched to death by 3 skeletons, a werewolf, and Medusa head before even being able to make a move when your previous encounter was a single Fat Rat.

It’s not challenging, engaging, and fun. It’s straight up annoying and discouraging.

And still, they give us an incomplete version of the game with no additional content or multiplayer.

Sigh.

This would not surprise me in the slightest.

Sony has a pretty clear history of copying things that work for Nintendo to a T.

Subtlety is not a strength for Sony.

I was interested in this title

But frankly, an $80 asking price for a Kirby game is out of reasonable price range

Iggy’s Wreckin’ Balls Remaster, obviously

No cross play? That hurts.

Thanks for this, PJ. Convinced me to give it a whirl.

Game Key Cards are dumb.

The worst of both worlds in one convenient package. Just give a digital code instead for FFS

Just here taking a moment to say I appreciate Kate Gray reviews!!

As far as the game… What a shame, but I am not surprised.

I sure do wish that Nintendo Life would
Stop making articles talking about illegal pirating software and stick to legitimate items.

Blue shells are terrible for a couple of reasons.

1. They don’t actually help the player behind catch up, they may not even help you move up a single standing.

2. It only targets the person in first place.

With a couple adjustments, we could make the blue shell more reasonable!! How about… the blue shell tags every single person ahead of the User with atleast a spin out or something as it passes them until it finally explodes on the first place racer.

Yes, the red flags are obvious. Switch 2 came out less then a month ago and is highly sought after… buying a “second hand” one already is an immediate red flag.

Be smart.

Can we get an NHL game too, please?

Oh, piss off Square.

This went from a day 1 purchase to a pass really fast.

Absolutely ridiculous hogwash of an excuse.

I hate Square.

I simply cannot support this game and the little turds that play it

@Handy_Man

I imagine that’s exactly what happened. I find online races to be really chaotic. You go from 1st to 12 th in a banana slip

Looks less Mario and more Sonic to me

@AstroTheGamosian

Best wishes and a speedy recovery

I agree!! The fact I can’t play Dandori battles online with my friends is criminal!!

Do it, Nintendo!!

@larryisaman

I think you’re spot on with that assessment.

SNES games were $69.99 because Video Games were arguably still a niche kind of thing, no?

Ya know, I hate to be that guy but….

This isn’t surprising, nor is it deniable.

The price of everything has gone up significantly. Video games have somehow avoiding raising the prices for nearly 3 decades. This was going to happen sooner or later. It was inevitable.

The people crying really are laughable. If you’re gonna cry about $80 Mario Kart and beyond, I will buy it off you for $85.

GTA 6 looks kind of lame, imo.

Looks like a TV show got in my video games. Wtf. Why so much explicit sex in a video game?

Thank you for writing this.

Everyone is always battling some sort of Mental-Health fight,

I’m 38 years old and have handed out several Nintendo Switches as gifts to other others through the years, and always encourage to play together with friends. Most people look at me cross-eyed when I do this, but I’ve always believe video games ( Specifically Nintendo Ones ) to be therapeutic, calming, and good for the soul.

Hats off to you, Pal. I hope you continue your journey exploring the worlds of Games and then your life. Cheers!

How long before people are campaigning for $25 an hour minimum wage now?

Okay, Great…

But where is Hockey?

What about hockey…?

I’d happily pay an extra chunk of money for a superior Mario Kart game. It’s the new world. Everything costs more, Video games are no different. That’s what you get when the world is paying gas attendants $25 an hour.

Switch 2 looks great. Day 1 purchase for sure.

If you don’t like the price, don’t buy it. Crybabies.

Cry Babies, the lot of you!!

1% drop rate doesn't mean you'll get 1 in 100 encounters, and it certainly doesn't mean FAIR either.

It sucks sometimes, but that's all part of the grind.

Happy Hunting

It’s not really in Japanese culture to have “rival” companies. Look at the console wars of the 1990’s. Sega of America made this insanely aggressive push against Nintendo , SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON’T And all, and Nintendo responded with bemusement.

It’s more a mutual respect sort of thing.

Who thought this was a good idea in the first place?

“Trash game on a trash budget that looks like complete trash is a dumpster fire”

Surprise of the Year

How about releasing a new AAA Megaman title. That would garner some sales.

Megaman Legends, anyone?

HELL YEA!!!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!

Honestly….

Alex always offers a fair, level-headed review on software/hardware/other gadgets and I enjoy his videos/articles. Most of his reviews actually make me laugh out loud when he starts going on about some of the more head-scratching decisions on games and hardware.

Cheers, Alex! Here’s to 40 more years of Olney on Nintendo Life.

If you’re ever in the States, This Firefighter/EMT will get you dinner. ( Specifically the NYC area )

Mario Paint 2?!?

Eyyyy, my two favorite characters.

@Markiemania95

Actually, this makes me excited 😂😅

Lame looking Woke protagonists annoy me

Will likely pass on this game because of it

What a shame, because Overcooked has so many ridiculous and fun options for player characters.

This series is great!!
The first one was like if George R.R. Martin wrote Redwall!

Interesting.

IGN gave a much more negative review.

I still have it preordered, and I’m curious as to which way I’ll swing. Generally I find myself more aligned to Team Hookshot then I am to IGN these days as far as games review.

This is awesome, I love it.

@thefimm

What an absolutely insane perspective to have on things.

Because Storms didn’t exist until Humanity came along, amirite?

This guy is doing the Lords work

More top down Zelda games, please.

Loved Links Awakening as a young lad and eternally heartbroken that the Switch remake is literally a 30 year old Gameboy Game with a new lick of paint and no new content.

Who is playing these whack-ass soccer games?

3 Houses Story

Engage battle system

I hate how 3 houses was essentially a Nintendo game disguised as a Hentai dating sim with a dark dramatic plot sprinkled into it. The impactful decision making simply came far too late in the game.

Engage…. This games story and generic characters makes me want to bash my face with my Switch repeatedly until the pain and suffering stops. I like the classic game elements, though.

Is it simply too much to ask for a NEW Fire Emblem that doesn’t have silly new mechanics oozing out of every aspect of it?

How about simply not flooding all screens with the vast amount of dog-poo shovelware items on there

Obviously, the Future of Fire Emblem lies in Waifu Dating Sims

Hah!! This is the most wildly over-priced collectors edition I’ve ever seen!!

$200 dollars for key chains and stickers. Unbelievable.

How is Fortnite still alive?

Who is playing this game?
