It was desperate! I think they seriously underestimated the demand for the game so not nearly enough copies of the game were sent over. In the end it was Forbidden Planet that got me a copy. They used to be a treasure trove for Gamecube games.

@OpheliaDynamight

Whilst I'm Nintendo through and through I think Capcom have made at least half of my favourite games too.

@OpheliaDynamight

Happy days.

Reminds me of trying to get Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube. Been hyped for months about it but it was sold out everywhere in Northern Ireland, even got scammed on ebay trying to buy it. Eventually three months later finally got a call to say it was back in stock, picked it up and played it for two days solid. Even better than I hoped it would be.

I still play through it once a year and it is my favourite game. Nothing comes close, not even the remake.

@OpheliaDynamight

Ha that made me chuckle! Hopefully you got it in the end!

@PokemonDMG

Every last one!

Every N64 game would benefit from 60fps/Widescreen/resolution bump.

Body Harvest has been trapped to one system for too long!

Aquire NightDive Studios and get them to remaster all N64 titles.

ALL OF THEM!

@1UP-HUSKY

I'm glad they didn't the Nintendo Today app is clunky rubbish.

I can't see my 3DS activity.

Unfortunately the game is in a genre that bores me to tears (of the Kingdom) so as much as I love Zelda I'll be sitting this one out.

Good. You should not be able to own such generic gameplay mechanics.

Like saying no other character can jump because Mario does.

Not surprised, looked a bit too much for Switch 1.

3.49 million for Donkey Kong is fantastic sales.

Mario Kart gonna Mario Kart.

@Truegamer79

"People just aren't happy unless they're miserable or they've got something to complain about."

You're complaining about people complaining.....

Also the fact that the devs are patching the game (first patch of two no less) with fixes confirms things are broken and those darn youtubers may have a point.

Good old Bill, haven't seen him in a while. Good to know he is still at Nintendo.

Hurry up well!

"Third-party publishers have largely been opting for Game-Key Cards for their Switch 2 games, which requires users to download the title from the eShop while inserting what is effectively a blank cartridge into the console itself. It's been met with considerably negative reception from passionate gaming fans."

Errr I'm a passionate gaming fan and consider it a non issue.

@Sindayl

I'm not sure why you keep bringing Sony into this but OK.

I noted how it went downhill after Peter Moore left who knew it was about exclusives and providing a reason to buy an Xbox, but then he left and they replaced him with.....Don Mattrick.

Phil Spencer was no better, apart from his one good move which was backwards compatability however every move he made has led Xbox to right here: The Xbox Rog Ally that can't play your Xbox console library.

The Genius.

@Sindayl

People were wary of Xbox because they feared Microsoft would end up doing exactly what they ended up doing. Trying to buy success and tie everyone down to a subscription service where you own nothing.

Now they will be leaving the console space and many studios won't survive because of their inept management and lack of understanding of the console market. Just have to see these recent comments about exclusives being antiquated to see that.

I loved my 360, but the glory days are long gone. They left with Peter Moore really.

@Sindayl

The 360 early years was a sign they were learning. Ironically the Kinect is the perfect example that they learnt nothing.

They chased the Wii casual market by selling a device that barely worked and stopped focusing on strong exclusive games. Yes 20 odd million bought a Kinect but realised it was practically useless for playing games, it was Microsoft's E.T. moment.

However Microsoft continued with it despite people abandoning the Kinect shortly after purchase and then were shocked when there was backlash when they tried to force it on customers with the Xbox One.

Microsoft never understood the console business and that's why they will soon be out of it.

@Filthy

Players should certainly want better but I don't know why they expect it, all evidence to the contrary yet people keep blindly buying the games.

If you want change you got to change something.

Edit: To be clear I have zero interest in Pokemon games, just find the discourse around every release amusing as even with all the complaints people still buy it anyway.

@Beny9877

It already sold near 6 million after a week.

In no world can that be described as poor sales.

"I bought this game, like every Pokémon game, and I'm disappointed. Pokemon Arceus and S/V were much better games"

You know if you want better.....

James Cameron is inventing Skynet?!

The game's a looker I'll give it that, but still doesn't appeal to me.

Scariest thing are the borders.

Nintendo Life, surely you can ask Nintendo to provide comment why there isn't an option to turn them off?

Sonic Racing Transformed Remaster.

First game to make me cry.

Oh how I would love a re-release on modern consoles, just as is.

I'd rather they added graphics.

That looks rubbish with dodgy collision detection and jumping.

Pretty key for a good metroidvania/game.

@canaryfarmer

Fair enough.

@canaryfarmer

This isn't competition. Two completely different markets.

The Switch 2 as of today has already outsold the Xbox Rog Ally X's lifetime sales and probably by a factor of at least 3 to 1.

PC handhelds are a very niche market.

I can understand the logic with Bubsy. Maybe they are hoping people will enjoy it and fork out for the collection.

At least Mario Kart World didn't try and milk you dry with DLC from pretty much day 1.

@N00BiSH

Yeah but it isn't a "embarrassingly vague teaser". It is clear as day, it is Pikmin.

If it isn't you can all mock me accordingly.

@N00BiSH

Please tell me where I said Pikmin 5.

I don't even play the games. I'm just putting 2 + 2 together.

@Chibi

You can't be for real.

It is so clearly Pikmin to think anything else is just stupid.

I mean if you don't think it is Pikmin related I have to wonder about you.

@Dang_69

Fair do's.

@Dang_69

What in that clip looked like slop to you?

The most disturbing part of AI is all the wingnuts online now declaring footage that is decades old as AI for whatever reason. (Not saying that you are one of them by the way).

This couldn't be more clearly Pikmin related than if it was a near 4 minute clip of a bunch of Pikmin staring at the screen.

@poyo_pie

Stop being so delicate. It's an article about two karting games on the same platform.

@jfp

I genuinely hope it is a success for them but they aren't making it easy for themselves!

Such a stupid name for a game.

A companie's third game being a remaster/remake of the first is also stupid.

I can see this bombing.

There's my new fightpad right there.

Just need a new Split Pad Pro now.

Great to see.

What I really want is the Alpha Anthology that came out on PS2.

The Alpha games on the 30th Anniversary Collection are great but the Anthology versions were all superior.

@siavm

If you are allowed to give a reason why you will buy it then I'm allowed to give a reason why I won't.

£17 seems excessive.

"We are going to celebrate 40 years of Mario by robbing you suckers blind".

Also Mario Galaxy in the 3D collection played worse as the joy-cons were a poor replica of wiimote pointer controls on Switch.

@RupeeClock

When have Nintendo ever included prices in Directs?

They all look terrifying.

Also a lot of people gonna be missing out on a lot of games unless they accept Game Key Cards are a thing (or just go digital).

Where is 2, 3 and 4 remakes?
