The sad thing is that those were the region free prices (or near about) a few years back in Japan. Ridiculous how expensive it is now. But hopefully it helps those that still want to get it who don't yet.

Happy Birthday, Nintendo Life! I still remember the first time I came here. Right around the time the ONM website shut down and I no longer had an online Nintendo news source I remember going to Google and searching for a Nintendo news site and yours was one of the first to come up, almost 11 years today. Not only did I find another UK based website but based in my hometown too! Never looked back and I will continue to visit here daily and watch the YouTube channel when I can. Thank you!

I was possibly considering this, but for the price and the fact that it doesn't even come with the VB controller makes it an unlikely one for me. It does however encourage me to emulate on my 3DS finally.

Fantastic news, I have been waiting for this moment for years. I was thinking it would be this or Fire Emblem this month.

Yeah, I'm not surprised considering the Japanese summer heat/humidity combined with the increased power of the Switch 2.

That's sucky, a friend of mine's was delivered by being 'thrown over the fence'. Seems like poor shipping is a trend.

Got this as a late birthday present so excited to finally take my first steps in Night City! (When I can get a moment away from Mario Kart and my disbelief at GC games finally being playable (officially) on a Nintendo handheld).

I think I've been pretty lucky in that games are really the only luxury items I purchase and that at least my wages have increased gradually along with game prices. That and I only really buy 4-5 new games a year means I'm not really worrying about changing my habits yet.

I'll be going there later this month for the first time, hopefully there is at least one hanging around...

The fact that the GameCube and N64 prices (at launch without inflation) were the same in the US, whilst in the UK the GameCube was almost half the price of the N64 is crazy to me.

I have good memories in the past with game. A more recent one being that I actually got a preorder for the original Switch back in 2017. The more surprising thing is that they actually delivered it to my Japan address for the same price as UK shipping AND stating on their site that they wouldn't ship consoles overseas. Actually, now I kinda understand why they are going out of business...

I'm a little concerned that I won't be able to buy a My Nintendo Store exclusive GC controller if I don't get an invite and scalpers decide to target them (somehow) but at least this is a nice alternative for the GC Classics.

I quite enjoy that Nintendo Life mentions quotes from Kit & Krysta and Kit & Krysta will mention Nintendo Life in their videos also.

I think this was also introduced in the Treehouse Stream last week?

@Markiemania95 Ahh, that's good to know then. Thanks for correcting!

2 awesome additions, also @Liam_Doolan it seems as if the quoted description for Donkey Kong 94 is the same as Mario Picross'!

It was likely that Ice Age game that protected them. All hail Sid, Lord of The Flame.

Sounds like an interesting one, will give it a go!

Surely from the demand in previous years they can justify having a single Pokémon Centre in the UK now. Fingers crossed for that or a Nintendo Store in the future!

Been to Machida quite a few times, never knew it was the basis for Pallet Town! Good to know! Very much just an extension of Tokyo now though.

Just a heads up that the Kickstarter for this is now up! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tinywonderstudio/korobo

I was part of a primary school trip to Kidzania Tokyo earlier this month and saw this. It was really interesting. The kids all get to wear the sweet Nintendo employee shirt and get to use Game Builder Garage to design a game. They look at the picture on the wall of the stage style and point to which one they want and then, especially for the younger kids, get assistance from the adults there. It was pretty popular, they stopped taking reservations for the day really early on I remember, actually from about 1pm, if I recall. One of my pupils was annoyed she couldn't do try it (I completely understood) but she then got to be a radio DJ which was fun still.

A little disappointed the final wave consists mostly of different poses of previously used characters... More enemy characters would have been appreciated.

I picked up the cartridge for Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru a month or two ago and was enjoying it. Nice to have the option to get it on Switch now too.

I feel slightly ashamed that I forgot that Doopliss was in this game until watching this.

They gave this a longer look on the Japanese direct. It looks really nice!

I was really hoping it would be ready by now, going back to USJ's Nintendo World after 3 and a half years next week with my friend's from the UK so a bit disappointed. Oh well, will still be a good time!

I already have 1 and 2 on my switch so I don't think this is worth it just for 4. It's a shame as I feel most of the people interested in this pack would be in a similar situation. If 3 was also included then I would seriously consider it as I love the series and never played 3 or 4.

Yeah, you can kind of make out Hisuian Voltorb's red eyebrow behind the question mark.

I imagine they'd get Zelda Williams in it at some point. Fingers crossed the film turns out well!

One day I'll get to race on Double Dash's Wario Colosseum again, one day...

Wow, that's a decent proportion of Switch games receiving the Tokyo Game Show Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.

I'm just worried stunts like this will further restrict shareholders from attending the meetings without owning a very high number of stock. Sadly, I had to work during the meeting so I couldn't attend, but I would be sad if I couldn't go next year due to people like this.

Ooo, I think I had these too! I remember the backs well. Doubt they're hanging around anymore though... Glad to see them though!

This was amazing. I love how much of a parody it is.

My fiancée saw this today at Shinjuku station and sent me a video. Hopefully I can see it in the next few days!

I was JUST about to fork out full price yesterday for some Ace Attorney. Glad I held off!

Just realised my Amazon Japan preorder is delayed until the 20th... Never had that for a preordered game from there.

I saw these earlier this week. Might buy some this weekend!

I quite like the song? 🤔 But totally get why people may not. As long as this mod appeals to someone though, I hope it brings them joy!

I accidentally tried some of the Baskin & Robbins Splatoon ice cream at a party a few weeks back, although I had no idea at the time what this multi-coloured flavour was until I walked by a store advertising it near by station. It was surprisingly good! There was a few but I tried the one with popping candy in it and there was another with an energy drink flavour, maybe?

Beyond Oasis was known as The Story of Thor for those in Europe (and Japan), in case you don't recognise the US name!

I was hoping the exclusive game would be Animal Forest, ahhh well...

Boo! Surprised to hear this is getting a physical release. Well done to Conradical Games! Definitely considering picking this one up physically.

Gravy-Flavoured Leg sounds delicious. Will look out for it in Xenoblade Chronicles 4's monster cooking activity.

I hope we get Wario Colosseum!

Realistically, probably: Wave Race, 1080, Banjo-Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Super Smash Bros. (maybe with online?). Not certain about the Mario Party games after they were recently remade and mashed together in Mario Party Superstars. My dreams are ones are Pokémon Stadium releasing as a tie-in with Pokémon on the Gameboy for Switch and Animal Forest (even if it was just on the Japanese version).

Amazing game, looking forward to this one!

I was literally thinking yesterday what I would do in the GameCube AC game, where the date only goes to 2030. I guess find the year that's closest to 2031?

Thank you, Kate. I ended up watching a whole episode of Time Team within a Nintendo Life article. Never did I think this day would come.
