I have a fairly wide taste for games but Kirby Air Riders does not appeal at all, especially at that price.

It was always gonna be niche.

COD down to third after one week. Ouch.

Microsoft will need to triple the price of Game Pass and add another hundred onto the price of their flagging Series consoles to make up for it.

They used to talk about COD killers. Turns out COD was the Xbox killer.

If people want the big third party games on Switch 2 they have to accept they are going to be, well, big!

Good review, and good it looks to be a hit for fans of the game.

When it comes to sales I think think this is gonna be more a Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment than a Donkey Kong Bananaza but might be a sleeper hit.

It could be the best Musou game of all time but the bottom line is it's still a Musou game and therefore I have zero interest in it.

@Jack_Goetz

That takes me back lol

@RiasGremory

Ralph Ineson, great actor.

Aye if I can't get Michael Shannon he'd be a good shout.

@Faucet

My pick would be Michael Shannon.

Mainly because I think he is awesome and should be in everything and he can be very intimidating.

@CaleBoi25

It is fantastic. The first season can drag a bit in the first half but there is an event in the second half of the season that changes everything and the show didn't look back.

Easily my favourite Marvel tv series and just one of my favourites full stop.

Also know Dichen Lachman from Agents of Shield, she is a great choice for Impa.

Sony are gonna need that Japan only PS5 sharpish. Deary me.

If it sells a quarter of what the Gamecube did it will have done well.

Everything is soon gonna be game key cards, including first party Nintendo titles.

With the exception of those LRG releases that are ridiculously overpriced anyway so they don't mind stumping up for the carts as they are guaranteed sales pretty much.

If you can't beat them...

Those character models are horrific.

Not a fan of the series anyway but if I was I could not play the game because of this awful art style. Stuff of nightmares.

This was inevitable.

The Switch 2 carts are prohibitively expensive for everyone, even Nintendo.

Hopefully the new movie has a bit more substance to it. The last one was fluff and just felt like a CGI movie made by the people who make the Minions movie with Mario characters in it.

Embrace the Nintendo weirdness!

@stephenstig

Same boat.

@Pikman

Happy you're enjoying it!

With this game I'm Limmy in the Feathers v Steel sketch.

I just don't get it.

But hope everyone else enjoys.

More like staff hit with mass layoffs by Square Enix.

They really are a bit scummy.

Didn't realise this was a Nintendo/Sony collaboration.

Cats and Dogs living together!! etc

Thank God, the previous 2 hours weren't enough.

Meanwhile Metroid Prime 4 has had about 10 seconds of advertising.

@Valkian24

I know. Nintendo should just buy Atari outright!

-rubs hands and does evil laugh-

@AmplifyMJ

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.
